Pinkham's Vegetable Compo A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary treat- | ment. Whkile t mptoms seem to be pilar to those of ordinary indiges- | ret the medicines universally pre- scribed do not seem to restore the pa- tient's normal condition kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturb- ance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine | which not only acts as a stomach tonie, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also. As proof of this theory we call at- tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound after every- thing else had failed. She writes: * For two years I suffered with dyspepsia ‘which so degenerated my entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that Iate tasted and it caused a disturbance in my 1 tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing scemed 1o belp me. 1 was ad. | vised to give Lydia E.

This block | he had kicked from beneath him, and | slowly strangled to death Harry St. Clair, the father, learned | of his son’s death on his return from | work. Several schoolmates of Walter spoke of him as being exceptionally bright, reading the newspapers and literature on heavy subjects and win- ning honors in school. They added | that the child possessed a quick tem- per and had on one occasion shot at his sister with an airgun in a fit of rage. e TALBOT WILL MAKE PLEA FOR SONS THIS MORNING Question of Custody of Children of Wealthy Litigants Is Still Unsettled. Judge Murasky will determine this | morning who is entitled to the custody of the minor children of Millionaire ‘William H. Talbot and his wife, Annie, during the vacation period. Mrs. Tal- | bot wants them and Talbot wants them, too. The father is anxious that they | g0 into the country for a month; the | mother wants to keep them at home. | So the court must settle the dispute. Talbot, leading his two little sons, Leroy and Wiilie, and accompanied by Jordan, appeared in Judge Murasky's court yesterday morning for the purpose of settling at once the | question of the disposition of the chil- dren during vacation. As Mrs. Talbot and her attorney, Samuel M. Shortridge, were not present the court put the mat- ter over for hearing in his chambers this morning. 2 Any order the court may make this morning, however, will simply be tem- porary, the hearing of Talbot's motion to modify the Injunction restraining him from {nterfering with the children in any way having been continued un- til August. —_———— Child Not Sold Into Slavery. Ah Fun,' & Chinese woman, living at 23 Spofford alley, and a baby girl two years old were released from custody by Judge Cook yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus. Miss Donaldina Cam- eron of the Chinese Presbyterian Mis: ston had: been informed .that the child had been sold Into slavéry by its father and she had the woman arrested on Saturday pending an investigation. The father of the child, Ah Yoke, a pawn- | broker at 1008 Dupont street, stated that after the death of the child's mother he asked Ah Fun to care for it.

Greif stated that the work had been done in addition to the current work of the office by his regu- lar office force. Chairman Branden- stein took occasion to compliment Greif. Greif also submitted a report as to the conditions in his office, a big | increase in the amount of fees being a | feature. | The Finance Committee postponed |action for one week on the demands for | the expenses of the Fourth of July | celebration, aggregating $2500, the ex- act amount of the appropriation.

As soon as Mrs. Powers disposed of the charge of insanity against her, she sued Powers for divoroe, the court ordering . that -Powers. pay her $40 a month pendente lite. Powers failed to obey the order, however, and yesterday Judge Sloss adjudged him guilty of contempt and ordered him committed to jail until such time as he repents of his conduct and provides for his wife, Mrs. H.

Dr. Baldwin discussed the programme | for the next State Association gather- | ing, which is to be held at Palo Alto | in Septémber. He suggested that the i programme Iinclude a large number of short addresses rather than long ones. j During the session of the association {the new Congregational Church now under construction at Palo Alto at a cost of $15,000 will be dedicated. | The Rev.

Ex-Chief of Police Wittman is sustained in his effort to suppress the brothel at 11290 Dupont street, and Supe- rior Judge Cook is scored for issuing an injunction preventing interference with the disgraceful business of the notorious resort. In accordance with the terms of the decision, Chief of Police Dinan may direct his men to enter the premises at 1129 Dupon street, Bacon place, Belden place, Hinckley alley, 620 Jackson street and any other of the disreputable dis- tricts. The decislon is broad in the extreme and is unanimous. Not only are the po- lice allowed to enter these places and arrest the inmates for any violation of the law, but uniformed officers may pa- trol the interior courts on which the windows and doors of the “cribs” front. The Justices say unreservedly that any reasonable means may be taken to abate the evil. The claim that the police should be shut out, allowed by Judge Cook, is styled preposterous by the Su- preme Court. BLOCKADE CAUSES SUIT. The litigation commenced as a result of the ordering of a police blockade on 1129 Dupont street by ex-Chief Wittman. That the place was a brothel was ad- mitted by every one who knew anything about the case. KEven the men defend- ing the resort did not attempt to deny anything that might be said against the character of the female inmates. The building is owned by P. Marsicano. It was leased to P. Vincent, who sub-leased it to George Sellinger. Jean Pon placed a cigar stand and a restaurant containing two tables and eleven chairs inside the entrance to the brothel. He claimed he had a lucrative trade, and that the police blockade was ruining his business. The court says his business was unquestionably established as a legal subterfuge ahd whatever traf! fic he had resulted from the existence of the house of crime adjoining. This fact, alone, is held to have been ample ground dpon which to have sustained Judge Cook ih denying the petition for an injunction against the police. George D. Collins, the overmarried at- torney, who i{s numbered with the miss- ing, was one of he lawyers who repre- sented the brothel owners. The court says that there can be no doubt that Pon did not come into court with clean hands and a clear conscience, Such places as 1120 Dupont street, it is declared, should be suppressed. The duty is said to devolve on the police. The claim that Pon's restaurant and cigar- ’and were on a private passageway is ridiculed. It is declared to be no one's fault but his own if he chooses to lo- cate his business in a place of crime. The police officers are given full authority to stop all who may attempt to enter the brothel and question them so far as may be necessary for the enforcement of the Yaw and the securing of wilnesses for a -prosecution of the inmates of the place. APPLICATION IS GENERAL. The Justices go farther than merely dis- solving the injunction agalnst the police in respect to 1129 Dupont street. It is declared absolutely that the plea of main- taining a restaurant or other business in a 'house of prostitution Is of no avail. If any citizen may enter by these so-called “private” passages, the way of ingress and egress is held to be essentially pub- lic. There is practically no limit to what the police may do in suppressing the brothels. Even 620 Jackson street, the “‘municipal” disorderly house, cannot be held exempt under the decision, although it was speclally constructed to evade the law by technicalities. District Attorney Byington has won a hard fight in this case. His prosecution has been extremely vigorous. The decent element of San Francisco rejoiced yes- terday when the news of the ruling was spread abroad. That the entire seven Justices should dismiss the technicalities and decide the question on broad grouuds was received with great satisfactioa. Justice Lorigan is the author of the opin- fon, which will unquestionably be of great importance as a precedent, not only in California, but in every State ‘where the same subject is a matter of ltigation. Justice Angellott! wrote a concurring opinion, in which he denounces the at- tempt to ald crime by appealing to a court of equity. Justice Henshaw con- curs directly with Justice Angellotti. Chief Justice Beaity, Justice Van Dyke and Justice Shaw declare that they con- cur directly with all that Justices Lorigan and Aggellotti have stated on the ques- tion. Justice McFarland concurs with Justice Lorigan, but does not think the police should be given so much authority to question pedestrians nor that the same ruling should apply in the case of a citi- zen who may have business in prox- imity to a brothel. Chief Dinan stated that he should take immediate steps to close all disreputable houses so far as the Supreme Court had given him authority. District Attorney Byington stated in an interview last night that the de- cision handed down by the Supreme Court was a sweeping one and gave the police authority to enter public places and make arrests. He says he will see ‘they are required to enforce the law, especially as to gambling places and houses of i1l fame. ————————— ‘Wants Pay for Dead Cows. Plerre Labrucherfe, whose barn at Howard and Beacon streets collapsed and killed fifty-six and injured seven cows, flled suit yesterday against the city to recover $1680 damages for the loss of the carcasses of his stock. Labrucherfe says that he could have secured $25 each for the tallow, hide and bones of *the cows and $40 each for the injured animals. He says, however, that the city took possession of them Iimmedlately after the acci- dent and destroyed them all. ¥ ——e——— | young Attorney Lawrence Kip appeared | as her champion. HUMAN JELLY FISH REEKS WITH FRUIT EXTRACTS PETER BRADY BATHES IN JAM Peter Brady, the human jelly fish, had | been carefully scraped up in the City| Prison before he appeared in Judge Con- | lan's court yesterday. But upon Peter’s | whiskers still lingered traces of currant jelly, in his ragged locks gleamed glo- bules of quince jelly and on his cheeks | were daubs of blackberry jam. ‘ Peter had a great day Sunday. While inspecting the Southern Pacific freight| cars near Third and Townsend streets he | came upon a freighter branded with | California jams and jellies that were in- | tended to introduce joy and appendicitis into the effete East. “This for me,” sald Peter, where I live.” ( He stove in the head of a bucket of | quinch jelly and crammed the stuff down his throat by the handful. When he| tired of this he opened the currant jelly, switched to strawberry jam, sampled | some orange marmalade, helped himself | to blackberry jam and topped it all off | with a tubful of apple sauce. ‘When Peter had finished his vegetarian | meal he seized a bucketful of currant! jam and-a pail of quince jelly. Carrying | these burdens he proceeded up Fourth street, dripping with California fruit ex- tract. He had only gone a few blocks when Policeman Patrick Foley held hlm‘y uj ‘““Here is p. “I've heard that they put most every thing into factory made jam,” said Foley, “but this is a new adulterant on me.” The jelly fish was scraped with a barrel | hoop and loaded into a patrol wagon. At the City Prison they borrowed a curry comb and went over him more carefully. “I couldn’t eat it all,” said Brady to| Judge Conlan, *so 1 took some of it ior| supper. My appetite has gone back on me lately.” He brushed a few blackberry seeds out of his eyes and sighed regretfully. “You admit taking the jelly?” asked the Judge. “] took as much of it as I could,” re- plied Peter, “inside and outside and in my hands.” The jellyfish was found guilty of lar- ceny and will be sentenced to-morrow to a resort where jam is a novelty and jelly is unknown. . . ‘When the case of Thralsa liicks, a 16- year-old girl charged with vagrancy, was called in Judge Cabaniss’ court Young Kip wanted to bail the girl out, but was severely repri- manded by the court. The girl's. mother keeps a lodging-house at 328 Geary street. The girl became in- fatuated with the young attorney and eloped with him. The pair were arrested Sunday night by Policeman Behan and Secretary Wadham of the Suppression of Vice Soclety. As thnere was no charge that could be put against young Kip, he was permitted to go free and the girl was charged with vagrancy. She was ordered held by Judge Cabaniss, but was released yester- @ay afternoon on &2110 CE‘“’ bail. The clash between the park police and the United States army was taken up by Judge Conlan. It will probably be arbi- trated to-morrow. Corporal George D. Litterland, special chauffeur to Secretary Taft, was pilot- ing Major Squires, U. S. A., and his wife through Golden Gate Park in an automo- bile labeled U. S. A. Policeman Thompson halted the equip- age. “Where's your license?’ he de- ri-néed. The corporal pointed to the magic let- ters “U. 8. A “That’s not a license,” said the police- man, and the automobile was escorted to the Park station, where Mafor Squires raid $ bail. Litterland told Judge Conlan that he had inquired of one of the lieutenants at the Park station several months ago if it were necessary for him to have a license. The chauffeur declares the police officer informed hlin that it was not necessary. Judge Conlan has subpenaed both leu- tenants at the Park station, and will take up the case to-.day; John Erricsen was left in charge of the saloon at 508 Pacific street while the proprietor, J. D. Brown, went to supper. John played an improvised alr upon the cash register and when | Brown returned the contents, $4, had disappeared and so had Erricsen. The temporary bartender was located in an adjoining saloon, where he was treating the house. He was arrested on a charge of petty larceny. ‘When the case was called before Judge Mogan Brown sald: “I wouldn't have cared if he spent the money in the house, but he took it down to the Dutchman's. I want him cinched.” Judge Mogan gave Erricsen four months in the County Jail. . o e ‘When Henry Summers, charged with drunkenness, was led into Judge Ca- baniss’ court he burst into a fit of laughter. % “Why, look at those monkeys, ptnkl and white ones, Judge,” he said point- ing to the ceilling. They're making faces at you.” And .Summers slapped his knees in glee. Suddenly he gave a yell and side-stepped like a flash, then brought his foot down on the floor. “I-got him that time,” he explained. “Mashed his head.” And he began to pull Imaginary snakes from his arms and legs. Throw- ing the phantoms to the floor he stamped the life out of them. “To the hospital with this menag- erie,” ordered the Judge, and Harry and his pets were led away. . s . Fred Burgess, a 19-year-old boy charged with grand larceny, was given a chance to reform by Judge Mogan. Burgess, with two young ex-convicts, stole $75 worth of copper wire belong- ing to the telephone company. Because of his youth and his pléa that he had been led astray by evil companions Judge Mogan permitted young Burgess to go on probation after ! return to his wife and children at Chi- L Devastates Carloadl and Takes Away Tubsful.

The Judge and Coroner Leland are s hitting the high places on the way to the pines. Up where the summer girls and mosquitos run wild the two popu- lar officials will hike for the long rest. “For me the simple life,” sald Judge Mogan. “Mine’s the same,” sald Coroner Le- land, who is known after business hours as the “side-stepper.” A large delegation from the Hall of Justice will be at the depot to see them off. * - SOON T0 BUILD + ON CHINA BASIN Santa Fe Is Preparing to Establish a Big Freight Terminal on Bay’s Shore TO ERECT LARGER SHEDS General Manager Wells Has Ordered Chief Engineer Burns to Hasten the Work It was formally announced by the lo- cal officials of the Santa Fe Company yesterday that steps are to be Immedi- ately taken toward the establishing of big freight yards on the China Basin | property. As a result of the recent visit to this city of Vice President Kendrick, instructions have been issued by Gen-\‘ eral Manager Wells to Chief Engineer Burns to hurty to completion plans for the construction of two immense freight houses in that locality. They will be 1200 feet long and will be the neucleus for what promises to be one of the larg- est freight terminals in the West. It is expected that the construction of these buildings will take about a year, during which time other important improvements will be under way at the basin. The officials of the Santa Fe keenly ap- preciate the fact that the rallroad bust- ness in California, and especially in San Francisco, is rapidly growing to enormous importance, and it is in anticipation of the demand for greater facilities for bandling freight that it has been decided to thoroughly equip the China Bgain property. While this work Is in progress, the company will be finishing the cut-off on {ts main line near Albuquerque and double-tracking the greater portion of its road east of that town to Chicago. Dis- cussing the projected improvements in this city, one of the officials of the road said yesterday: That San Francisco is to be a great freight center is mo longer a theory, but a certainty. Competitive points along the coast will not materially interfere with this city’s growth in this respect. Santa Fe Company is now preparing to meet this development at & pres- ent cost of $10.000,000. The establishment of sheds at China Basin will be the first move by the com- pany toward concentrating its freight business at that point, where, with the building of necessary wharves, it will be enabled. to receive freight from the larg- est ships afloat and from all points in this country over its own ralls. e Eppinger Case Continued. The cases of Jacob, Herman and Josua Eppinger and James Demings, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, were called In Judge Law- lor's court yesterday. By consent a continuance was ordered till July 24, when the cases will be set for trial Demings was allowed thirty days In which to present a bill of exceptions to the orders of court denying the motion for a new trial and overruling the de- murrer to the indictment. —_——————— Funeral to Be Held To-Morrow. The funeral of Charles H. Holt, who died in Spokane last Friday, has been postponed uatil to-morrow afternoon, owing to the delay of the train which is bringing the body to this city. The funeral services will be held at the family residence, 2505 Paecifié avenue. * ADVERTISEMENTS.

Nelson smote the slumber- er on tie soles of the feet with a club. “Get up,” ordered Nelson. But Kelly snored on peacefully. Nel- son called for the wagon and the sleeper was taken to the City Prison, where herolc attempts to rouse him proved in vain. Finally a bucket of water was thrown on him. The prostrate form writhed convulsively and with a shriek Kelly awoke. “I'm poisoned,” he moaned. When he appeared before Judge Mo- gan Kelly was given three months in the County Jail, where he will be able to slumber to his heart's content. LEE g B DESPERATE FOOTPADS ARE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE Criminals Beat and Rob a Laborer and Are Caught While Trying to Despoil Another. Joseph Stewart, a laborer, living at the New Washington Hotel, Harrison and Fourth streets, was found lying in a doorway at 657 Mission street about 2 o'clock yesterday morning by Police- man M. J. Culinan. He was bleeding from a wound in his head. He told Cullnan that he had been followed by two men from the Charter Oak saloon at Third and Howard streets, that they shoved him into the doorway, beat him on the head with a cobblestone and robbed him of $8 in silver. Stewart was sent to the Central Emergency Hospital. Cullnan, accompanied by Policeman Harry Crowley, started out to search for the footpads and at Third and Minna streets they arrested Otto Kon- lids Were Affected—Suffered for Many Months — Nothing Helped Him—Better in a Few Days, and CURED BY CUTICURA AT EXPENSE OF 75 CENTS ““ My boy when an infant wasafflicted with a terrible humor.
