A number of dealers, it is sald, are up in arms, and it is likely that suits will Le filed by aggrieved parties whose goods were condemned and destroyed by the Health Board. The practice of the Health Bouard in the past has been to destroy all food- s found tv coutain adulterants after chemical examination. This was done in the case of red wines which were recently found to contain salicylic acid, benzoic mcid and coal tar dyes. Several dealers consented to having their wines dumped into the sewers, but the Health Board claims to be re- lieved from liability because their con- sent was firft obtained. A large gro- cery firm refused to permit some thou- sands of gallons of red wines found te be sophisticated,saying that it had taken legal advice iu the premises. The Health ard did not press the destruction of vines, and the City Attorney’s opin- ion bears out the stand taken by the firm. 1§ has been the custom for many years for the health officials to pour coal of} on all mecats and fish founé diseased or impure, but the City Attorney’s opin- fon will prevent this vourse in future. Tons upon tons of food for human con- sumption have been destroyed in past vears in this way, including many im- mature calves and diseased fowl ana cattle. When James Dockery was Milk Inspector thousands of gallons of milk found not up to standard were dumped in the roadway to run down the sew- ers. If the City Attorney’'s opinion is | sourd the health officials have been acting illcgally in such matters. Under his opinion the only course to ' pursuc is to prosecute criminally any. offend- ers who adulterate their goods or whose milk is inmure. Health Officer Ragan says that the inspectors of the present board never dumrped the milk found deflcient, bul| simply prosecuted the offenders. . He says that the effect of Long's opinjon will be to tie the hands of the board, as the prosecution of the guilty parties 1s hardly of sufficient severity to pre- vent their illicit practices. The fact | that the bgard cannot condemn impure | food 2nd order it removed from the | shelves of the dealers will militats | against the effectlve workiing of the crusade for pure food. ———— PARK SIDE REALTY COMPANY "ACQUIRES. EXTENSIVE HOLDINGS Incorporation Is Effected by Orgaunisa- tion With $1,000,000 Capital to Im- ° prove and Sell City Lands. Articles of incorporation of the Park BSide Realty Company were filed yester- day by local capitalists. The directors are Willlam H. Crocker, C. E. Green, Douglas S. Watson, Willlam Watson, J. M.

Kragen filed suit yesterday against Gabriel Hines and the Kragen Furni- ture Company for an accounting The plaintiff alleges that on September 16, 1903, he entered into an agreement with Hines for the sale of the business, the plaintiff to have one-third of the col- lections on the book accounts after de- ducting one-third of the expenses of the collections thereof. Kragen asserts that Hines has collected large sums of money under the agreement, but has only paid him $2734 60, a much smaller sum than he is legally entitled - to. IKragen asks that Hines be compelled | to make an accounting and settlement | in strict accordance with the agreement ! of 1903. —_———— MISSING GIRLS ARE FOUND.—Leon: Bacigalupi, Z Telegraph mm!.mflz'a Ameita Ghitto, 1411% Kearny_street, Who ran away fron: their homes cn Wednesday, were found at 1287 Howard street yesterday by Policeman W.

Babes Ogle Him ‘While She Appeals to Police Judge the and Cry “Papa.” B’Y JAMES C. CRAWFORD. Two buxom ladies of middie age stood before Police Judge Cabaniss and upon the right arm of each of them sat a healthy-looking babe. “I iss der mudde sald one of the matrons, “und dey vass twins, und Theodcre Winberg vass der fadder.” 1 “Papa!” sang the infants, ogling his Honor. g “Theodore Winberg,' the mater re-“ sumed. “promissed he vud pay fer der | subbort of dese kids, boot he hass neffl‘i did id.” “And you are Mrs. Winberg, I pre- sume?” the Judge ventured. | “Nein,” was the reply; *Theodore/ o e + promissed he vud merry me, boot he hass nefer did 1d.” “Papa!” gurgled the youngsters. Then the story came out. Mr. Winberg, a seaman, entered a longshore boarding | house and became enamored of (he“ spinster who eventually presented him with the twins. More than a year has| elapsed since paternity descended upen Theodore and he began to shirk its re- sponsibilities. The mother utilized all | available means to compel him to lead her to the hymeneal altar, but her age deprived her of the legal redress that a woman of fewer years might have ob- tained. Then she haled him ‘into ‘court to show cause why he should not at least pay for the maintenance of his offspring, and he pledged himself to contribute a percentage of his earnings to defray the cost of their proper upbringing, but again he renigged. Hence the mother's appeal to his Honor Cabanlss. “Is he In the city?” inquired the bench. “He iss,” simultaneously replied both ‘women. “Papa!” llsped the infants. An attorney, however, volunteered the information that Mr. Winberg is in Alaskan waters and may never return to San Francisco. “If you prove that he is within the jurisdiction of this court I will gladly ald you in fetching him here,” sald the Judge to the ladies. “Papa!” chirruped the little ones, and as they were borne corridorward they waved chubby hands at the bench. . . . Jacob Lucas and Albert Davis, private infantrymen from the Presidio, were aweary of partaking of army rations two rib steaks, two plates of ham and eggs, six cups of coffee and two cigars. When their smoke was finished they tempted to evade paying for the viands by sneaking past the cashier's desk, but they were perceived by the restaura- teur, who blew a whistle as he pursued them, and Patrolman P. C. Blick quick- ly had them under arrest. They did not supinely vield to capture, however, for while Private Lucas sat upor the side- walk and declined to walk, Private Davis smashed the roof of the policeman’s hel- met,. his evident ‘intent being to knock the. headgear over its wearer's eyes and thus hiind him ~while . his prisoners escaped. But the blow failed of its pur- pose and the soldiers ~were taken to jail. In the court of Judge Fritz the de- fendants were accused of defrauding an innkeeper, and they expressed. regret, pleaded intoxication, handed a dollar to the complaining witness and prom- ised to pay for the damaged helmet if they were permitted to return to the Presidio. So the case was settled. o s = A. Deligore, a Porto Rican, disturbed the peace of his brother-in-law, Mas- ter Mariner Thomas Boyd, by invad- ing that gentleman’s home, 1161 Pa- cific street, ,and behaving in a most disgraceful mapner, and of that offense he was pronounced guilty by Judge Con- lan. 'Then the prisoner’s sister, Mrs. Boyd, complained that he had ‘@isturbed her peace also by threatening to slay her with a knife when she objected to his wrenching a silver-plated name plas from the door of her domiclle, and for that offense he will be tried to-day. After frightering his sister and ses curing possession of the name plate Senor Deligore sold his plunder and with the procecds augmented the in- toxication under which he had been laboriing for several days. He s a swart fellow of evident dangerous im- pulses when urder the influence of al- cohol. . e e Nicholas Lorenson, -youthful, pale taced and with snow-white halr parted squarely in the middle and drooping low upon his forehead, pipingly in- formed Judge Cabaniss that he was drunk and Irresponsible when he stole and consumed the conteuts of a bottle of milk which had just been deposited upon the doorstep of a Golden Gate ave- nue dwelling at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. He had been drinking copi- ously of whisky and beer. Master Lor- enson added. and -he was penniless and ravenously athirst when he perceived the bottle of the lacteal fluld standing invitingly in the doorway. He would have preferred a less innocuous tipple, but anything that promised to soothe his parched palate was acceptable, so he drank the milk. The theft was wit- nesaed by Police Sergeant Griffen, who promptly placed the thief under arrest. At the defendant's request a continu- unce wus ordered till next Tuesday, when he will attempt to prove by coni- petent testimony that he was weaned from the milk l.mblt. many years ago. Judge Cabaniss held Frank J, Sramek for trial in bonds of $2000 o'nag charge of burglary. The prosecuting witness was Miss McCoy of 639 Golden Gate avenue. who testified that the defendant entered her house and stole her satchel from the hall. Sramek was also booked on two | Kelly, more charges of burglary. The com- plainants were John L. Kieve, 417 Golden Gate avenue, and Mrs. Sarah Akins, A15 Golden Gate avenue. e e e “Well, of all things,” exclaimed Miss Eleanor Elliott when she was placed before Judge Conlan to explain why she had neglected to appear in. court the previous aay to testify in the bat- tery charge which Miss May Young had filed against “Professor” James J. self-alleged champlon of all ¢hampions in the line of diving from dlzzy heights. “What is of all things?” Inquired. “The idea of me oversleeping when I knew I was wanted here,” replied Miss Ellfott. “It wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t told you, when May failed to appear here the other morning, that she was asleep and cannons couldn’t wake her up. You remember?” “I do,” sald tne Judge. “Well, of all things,” again exclaimed Miss Elliott. “Professor” Kelly was sentenced to twenty-four hours' imprisonment and the Misses Young and Elliott were al- lowed to go forth in freedom. e e ® his Honor It was not so much the quality of the cigar smoked by Private Thomas Calla- han, United States Infantry, as his act of smoking that enraged the conductor of a Union-street car. That 1s not equiv- alent to saying that the weed pufted by Private Callahan was of Cuban origin or that it was tobacco at all. Indeed some of his [ellow passengers who in- voluntarily inhaled the fumes emltted by him were ready to ofier odds that the thing projecting from his mouth corner was not tobacco; but their esti- mate of what it consisted was so wide- 1y divided as to leave the mystery as far as ever from solution. Private Cal- lahan bimself, when questioned on the subfbet, frankly admitted that he did not Know wbat he was smoking. It might have becn a dried onion or a su- peraunuated pickled cucumber, or a plece of retired ship’ rope or anything else that his companions in the car pro- nounced it. All he did xnow was that he paid 6 cents for it in a Pdcific-street dance hall, and that the box from which he lifted it bore the picture of u dark-complexioned lady in scant &ap- parel holding aloft a banner on-which was inscrihed “Pride of—" he could not remember what. When ‘the conductor informed Pri- vate Callahan that smoking was not allowed in the box section of . any Union-street car Private Callahan re- sponded by blowing a cloud so volumi- nous that It set all the other inmates to coughing violently and stampeding to the platforms. The conductor, how- ever, . valiantly stood his ground and, with nostrils pressed bétween thumb and forefinger, repeated his admonition in catarrhal tone. “Whiff,” went Pri- vate Callahan’s lips, and again a per- fume that was not suggestive of Araby freighted the atmosphere and the con- ductor wildly battled the fumes until another “whoof” drove him, choking, to the outer air. When his lungs were sufficiently clarified he made a quick rush and dragged forth the offender, whose language as he resisted the on- set was almost as malodorous as the substance he had been burning. After futile endeavor to ascertain the title of the brand of alleged cigar that Private Callahan had smoked Judge Cabaniss imposed a flns. of $10. . . Right Fielder Harry Spencer of the San Francisco team caught so many highballs in the Tenderloin one recent night that he disturbed the peace, was arrested and spent some hours in a cell. Judge Conlan, than whom there {8 no more enthusiastic “fan” in the Hall of Justice, scowled awfully at the repentant Mr. Spencer ere he dismissed him as one sufficiently punished both by incarceration and humiliation. e ————— McDOUGALD SIGNS MANY BONDS AND WINS A HAT City Trensurer Beats Other Officials in Task, His Name Appearing 1,195, 453 Times on Securities. Treasurer McDougald has shown his ability in handling a pen in the task of signing 28,463 municipal bonds with Mayor, Schmitz, Auditor Baehr and Clerk Fay. About the middle of De- cember, 1904, the four officials named commenced the task of signing the bonds, each contending that hewas the most rapid penman and agreeing to provide a fine new hat to the one fin- ishing first. In addition to the 28,463 bonds, Me- Dougald's . signature had to appear 1,166,350 times more, as his name alone had to be placed on #he coupons. In- cluding registration, the Treasurer's signature appears 1,195,453 times. The. Treasurer takes his victory modestly and wishes success to the sec- ond best, after the losers complete the task of signing 00 more bonds. ——e———— PLEADS GUILTY TO SIMPLE ASSAULT.

DENANDS NORE (O FOR L0 Property Owner Wants City to Pay $27,750 for Portion of the New Library Site PLAYGROUND IS BOUGHT Supervisors Accept Offer of | a Lot That Adjoins the| Clement Grammar School | The proceedirigs of ‘the Supervisors’ | Public Utilities Committee were en- | livened yesterday when the proposition | to_compel Mary Feehan to accept 27,000 for her lot on Fell street, near Franklin, under pain of condemnation proceedings, was considered. Colonel T: F. Barry said Mrs. Feehan was not being treated fairly In the | matter, as.the property was /worth $28,000. Barry, in order to avoid a law- sult, offered to sell the lot for $27,750, an amount which Officlal Appraiser Mooser had fixed in his appraisement report. Assistant City Attorney John P. Coghlan insisted that $27,000 was a falr figure in conformity with the prices paid for othgr subdivisions in the block. City Attorney Long sald he did not propose to have the city pay more for property than it is worth and he was satisfied that Coghlan's price of $27,000 was correct and he would stand by it. The committee then decided to refer the matter to Coghlan, who is to give Barry another hearing on his claim that the property is worth $27,750. The committee referred to Supervisor @’'Ancona and School Director Boyle the offer of James Irvine to sell for school purposes a lot of land on Castro street, between Fourteenth and Henry, for $30,000, and they were instructed to ascertain if another site could be se- cured in the vicinity. The committee actepted the offer of George Fogel to sell for $15,125 a lot on Hayés street, near Franklin, form- ing part of the new Public Library site. The committee agreed to pay $27,000 to Sidney M. Starr for a lot adjolning the Clement Grammar School for play- ground purposes. The committee directed City Attor- ney Long to offer the appraised value for a 16t at the. southeast corner of Broadway and Polk street as a site for the Spring Valley School, and $20,750 for a lot on Harrison street, near Fourth, as additional playground for the Whittier School. ———————————— MANY SIGNATURES OBTAINED TO HIGH LICENSE PETITION Close On Five Thousand of Citizens Are Subscribed in the Few Districts Canvassed.’ The High License Association met last night in the assembly-room of the Parrott building,- Charles A.

The Board of Works is considering the advisability of building a temporary twelve-inch ironstone pipe sewer empty- ing into Islais Creek to remedy the bad conditions existing in the distriet.

Aligeitinger says that not one dollar has been appropriated in years to make improvements in Ocean View and it is time that something’ be done in that direction. The city officlals will be on the scene some time this afternoon and a commit- tee of Ocean View resideats will point out the needs of the locality. ALLEGE THEY ARE VICTIMS OF GET-RICH-QUICK CONCERN Albert Samuels and Wife Obtain War- rants for Arrest of Natiomal Dia- mond Company Officers.
