But this thing has got to stop now. Judge Cof- v is constantly questioning the in- ':zr\t\ of the bar and running his court as a kindergarten of ethics for the legal profession. I shall apply for a writ of prohibition, and that failing I shall | keep trying until I find a method that will bring a long suffering bar much needed relief.” When he heard of Tomsky's threat, Judge Coffey smiled. His armor is well tried already in combats with members of the bar that falled to see ali wnings in his light' ——————— ‘White Seeks Child’s Custody. M. J. White, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren, has flled a petition asking the Superior Court to summon Henry Pen- horan and wife to show cause why they should not be punished for con- tempt of court. Penhorhan's wife was formerly. a Mrs. Jasperson, mother of | four children. Recently Judge Muras- ky ordered that the little ones be placed in institutions, but Penhoran and his wife kept the custody of one, Myrtle, and it {8 supposed they have the child aboard the scow schooner Modoe: For falling to deliver the child Myrtle into the custody of the court White asks that Penhoran and | | wife be punished. —————— DRIVES PICK THROUGH FOOT.—Peter Conniff, one of the laborers employed in laying s gas main at Jackson and Dupont streets, vesterday afternoon drove a pick through his | right foot. He was taken in an ambulance to the Waideck Sanatorium, where he will re- ceive medical treatment at the expense of the | gas company. He lives at the City Hotel, on Howard street.

To those who saw him for the first time his appearance as he faced them did not seem to fit their popular idea of a dramatic critic, but when there poured from his lips all the rich flow of his pure vocabulary, clearly outlin- |Ing the lessons learned from his ‘ex- periences of the last fifty years, those | present came to a realization of the |fact that they were meeting a new | kind of critic; one who knew his sub- ject with an ihtense sincerity and who | was speaking from the depths of his soul. Mr. Winter carried the solid -convic- | tion of truth with him in all he said. | A man well advanced in years, white of | hair and mustache, yet erect despite | these marks of age, he at first seemed | frail, but when he turned with all the strength of his powerful and vitriolic control of larguage upon the modern | tendency of degradation of the stage | his appearance of age vanished and his | words snapped gnd vibrated with the | stirring intensity of youth. He left with | the audience the sharp impression of one o has passed through the sear- ing vears of contact with the evils of the stage without receiving a scar, of one whose integrity and, professional | honor hdd been far above possible | smirch, of a man who spoke with a | burning purpose, that purpose the ulti- | mate education of the American people to an appreciation of the play which | seeks to protect and lead, not taint, the progress of civilization. | ATTACKS THEATER TRUST. The veteran newspaper man spoke | with a directness that marked bim as a man of courage. He bitterly attacked the theatrical trust, branding it as a | “monster having its head in the city of New York and its serpentine, blood- | sucking tentacles twined around al- most every theater in the United States. This odlous creature is an en- éronching menace to the cause of pub- Iic morality.” Equally caustic -was his arraignment of the French drama, the burlesque and | the new problem play..This latter, he said, “is an odoriferous morsel and no problem at all, merely a name to cover | the vile picture of an immoral life. | Madame ‘Sarah Bernhardt, though I | will admit with a rare artistic skill, pictured this perniciously hateful idea | of a woman whose mind is quickened w! | by "all that is passionate and sensual, which, I say, has the effect of forcing | that same idea upon the men and women of thic country.” The speaker directly laid many of the | evils of the present stage to the effect of the adverse influence under which American society exists. He classed this as the age of materialism and com- mercialism, where art is sacrificed for the lust of amassing great wealth. The sanctity of the individual is not now merely Infringed upon; it is a thing un- known. Religious zeal is declining, moral life. Instead of the theaters leading civilization toward the high and the noble, they are producing that vila class of play which the people pay to see, but which hurries them along the steep descent of moral degeneracy. TELLS PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS. It was with a great deal of pleasure | that the andience listened to the happy recollections of the speaker of the days when he was the personal friend of many of the old actors. He took his hearers back with him to New York in the middle of the last century and per- mitted them to listen to Edwin Booth and others of the stage folk. He brought them through the days of Ad- ams and John McCullough and down to our own Joseph Jefferson. upon whose work he showered praise of unstinted measure. Then came his appreciation, after he had expressed his views on the | “burlesque, the sensational drama, the | semi-nude musical comedy and the | vicious problem play,” of the modern actors whose work was to him all that any moral or artistic person could wish | for. Among these he rated Ellen Ter- | ry. Augustin Daly, Richard Mansfield, | Henry Irving, Blanche Bates, David Warfield and Mrs. Fiske. | Peter Robertson, the well known | 8an Franeisco critic, mtroduced Wil- liam Winter as “the dean of our pro- fession and the greatest authority on dramatics in the world to-day.” Mr. Winter then expressed his appreciation of being so heartily welcomed in San Francisco by so many people. In speak- ing of the remedy for the evils recog- nized as present on the stage, he said, in part: Synical levity and unsorupulous commerce with popular caprice are prominent character- istics of our people. Everything is made the subject of jest. Business methods are tainted with indirection., Luxury is everywhere prev- alent. Manners are overwhelmed by vulnruy Refinement is Insulted at every turn. book stalls teem with fiction that is mhu erotic delirfum or sentimental rubbish. The public is maddened with hasté and strife and there is mo peace anywhere. REMEDIES OF EVILS.

It was through the eflortl of Wil- liam Greer Harrison that the lecturer was induced to speak -in this city. Among the many who attended were Judge Harrison, Miss Rosenstein, Judge Lowe, Mrs. Fiske; Colonel Brady, hon- orary librarian of the Bohemian Club; Miss Frances Jolliffe, "Mrs. Mark erstle, Mrs. Albert Gerberding, Dr. }dward R.

Health Board Adopts Report That Liquozone Contains Some Harmful Compounds POLICE CHIEF TO ACT Works Board Requested to Prepare Plans for, New City and County Hospital et The initial step in the proposed crusade of the Board of Health against impure | drugs was taken vesterday when Health’ Officer Ragan filed a preliminary report of the result of chemical analyses by City Chemist Bothe of a medicinal prepara- tion to the effect that it contains dele- terfous ingredients. The medicine re- ported upon is commercially designated as “liquozone” and the board at its meet- |ing adopted the following recommenda- fions of Ragan!’ I recommend that it be condemned by the | Commissioners_of Health as a pernicious and unsafe drug. It may be used as a disinfectant for grains, urinals, stables, etc., and probably no objectfon could be urged against ita external use by an individual. 1 recommend that the same aotion be taken in respect to this deleterious drug as Is prose- cuted by your honorable commissfon in the case of tmpure foods, viz.: That the Police Depart- ment and our department act conjointly to have it removed from the ghelves of all dealers bandling this drug, and that the selling, ex- posing for sale or giving away of liquozone, in the city and county of San Francisco, con- stitute an offense, the violation of which will be followed by arrest of the offenders. 1 submit appended report from the laboratory respecting the analysis of “liquozone,”” an ad- vertised nostrum purporting to be an agent in which free ozygen and ozone are generated, and recommended for all of the ills which human flesh is heir to. This subject has been taken up extensively in the larger Eastern cities and in England, and the analysis from our labora- tory is In harmony with the analysis made by the chemists of the laboratories in the various cities where this particular subject has been investigated. Liquozone contains.no free oxy- gen nor ozone, but is a mixture of acidulated water. Water constitutes 95.60 parts per 100, while the aclds used are sulphuric acid and sulphurous acid in proportions of 4 per cent of the former and .2016 per cent of the latter. It also contains traces of formaldehyde. Its use, therefore, as an internal medicament ie prejudicial to the individual health and its use to any extent in & community, in the same manner, is prejudicial to the public health. Reference is made in the report to the death of Dorothy Hay Sheppard, a two- year-old child, in London, alleged by a physician to have died aicer drinking the medicine. Ragan also calls attention to the ar- rests of dealers for selling of condemned catsups, condensed milks and evaporated creams and of butchers who colored their meats with a rea chemical. | The board adopted a resolution asking | the oard of Works in the interests of | the fll-conditioned Oty and . ounty Hos- pital to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications for the construe- tion of the proposed mew hospital under the bond issue. The positions of two food inspectors were created and John Derham and T. | Lydon were appointed thereto from the civil service list. They have been acting as laboratory assistants and the board appointed W. T. Jane and C. T. Kendall as their successors. The board ordered premises at 367, 377 and 379 Golden Gate avenue, 463, 465, 469, 471, p18, 521, 522 and 523 Jessle street, 427, 429 and 431 Stevenson street to be vacated on the alleged ground that they are un- sanitary and set the hearing on the same for June 28 next. The owners of premises at 868, 670 axd 672 McAllister street were given two months to raze the buildings and to re- construct them if they 8o desired. Miss M. Hawes was appointed auxiliary inspector of maternity nomes and the per- mit of Mrs. J. Wilson, 1133 Gough street, | to keep children to board was revoked. R. B. Teehan was appointed clerk at the County Hospital, vice M. A. Walsh, who served one day and resigned. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL STUDENTS GRADUATE Diplomas Are Given the Young Women by Judge - 8. C. Denson.

BOSTON, Mass., June 15.—Lawson and his party of bear raiders are laying careful plans for another big onslaught upon the stock market through huge ad- vertisements in the newspapers to be fol- lowed up by tissue telegrams and heavy short selling. These advertisements will be placed in London and America and a campaign of short selling conducted via Amsterdam and London to give the im- pression of weakened cpnfidence in Eur- opean financial centers and the idea here that foreign Investors are unloading. Al- ready a huge short interest has been cre- ated as a result of varlous other at- tacks and the idea of the bear party is that this forthcoming attack will dislodge a mass of long. socks. But the testimony of prominent brokers and bull operators is that the market has been so' thoroughly liquidated that the bear raiders will find difficulty in bring- ing out enough stocks to cover them- selves. Their moyement, the bull leaders declare, 1s likely to prove as disastrous to themselves and the Lawson following as in June, 1904, when they engaged in a similar advertising campaign, in view of the present strong basic conditions. —_————————— BECOMES VIOLENTLY INSANE WHILE JOURNEYING TO EAST California Woman Is Taken From a Train at Trinidad and Temporar- ily Placed in Jail.
