LABDRER LOSES LFE N SEWER |Stephen Podesta Is Drowned | Like Rat While Working | in Manhole on Fifth Street | | Faulty methods pursued by the Board | of Public Works seem to be responsible | for the death yesterday of Stephen Po- | desta, a Jaborer employed by the city on ewer work. Nothing was known of an | accident having befallen the untormnnte! man until fellow workmen found his | | drowned body in a manhole on Fifth | street, between Howard and Folsom. The | body was discovered shortly before noon. | He had been seen at work about a haif- hour previously. It is known that Podesta went down into the manhole, opposite 278 Fifth street. | He took some sacke with him for the pur- pose of making a dam for the water that was in the sewer, and it is believed that | having been rendered unconscious by | sewer gas he fell into the sewer and was drowned. No one had been put on guard | at the manhole, as there should have | been. J. Christiansen, Podesta's working part- ner, inquired of James Flaherty and Wil- liam Sheppard, who were working in a manhole opposite 318 Fifth street, what had become of Podesta. As he was speaking the dead body of Podesta float- ed into view, having been carried about half a block by the water. Podesta was a native of Italy, 49 years 0ld. He resided with his wife and fam- ily on the corner of Masonic avenue and Point Lobos road. ———————— “Delivered on time” if ordered from Bdward Knowles Ca., Printers, 24 Second. » | charge booked against Signor Valante, | clusion of the public from any portion {of it. | and .gcs!ed remedy only an hour's trial when | seribed 1t. |law and equity involved in the case and | Monday morning. | hint, | Timms, who informed Judge Conlan that | Honor, glancing from the accused to_the | accuser, | Ballasty to {hree months' imprisonment. PARADES PARK SWARD WITH NAKED FEET. While Obeying His Plzysman ) Commzmd Neurotzc Patient Is Arrested. He Tramp/es Dewy Grzm and Incidentally Consumes Succulent Mushrooms. BY JAMES C. With nether limbs bared below the knees and pockets stuffed with fresh- culled mushrooms, Lorenz Valante, a resident of Little Italy, stalked the sward of Lobos Park, in the North Beach dis- triet, from dawn of yesterday, until he was accosted, searched and arrested at 8 o'clock & m. by Specital Policeman A. Gordon. “Violating a park ordinance” was the o | KETCRA DA B»u b MUSHA — and when asked by Police Judge Fritz |to state more specifically the alleged | offense the prosecution claimed that it | was two-fold—purloining park property, | i. e., mushroomg, and ignoring the warn- | ing conveyed by signboards which notified | visitors to keep off the grass. To this the defense retorted, first, that the evanescent quality of mushrooms, which sprout, develop and naturally vanish within' a few hours unless they are gar- | nered, makes them ineligible for legal classification as “property;” and, second, the fact that Lobos Park is intended for public usage renders null and void, also ridiculous and absurd, the attempted ex- Prior to formally taking the complaint the arguments under advisement until to-morrow the Judge ascertained from Signor Valante that'the matutinal promenade on the lawn and the incidental plucking of the mushrooms were pursu- ant to medical advice, Signor Valante | had never heard of the Kneipp cure for | neurasthenia, but knew that he was sub- | ject to frequent spells of nervous pros- | tration, superinduced by the brain-taxing ! business of fruit peddling, and that his physician instructed him to trample dewy | grass with bared feet and to consume all | | the edible fungi he could collect while | thus employed. As he had given the sug- the policeman interfered, he could not | testify as to its efficacy, but was still | | of opinion that the doctor knew what he was talking about when he pre-y “Well,” sald the court, “I will give myself up to careful consideration of the may be prepared to hand down a decision In the meantime you would better shun Lobos Park.” Signor Valante, whose twitching mus- tache and restless hands did not belie his claim to possession of neurotic dis- order, agreed to abide by his Honor's . John J. Ballasty, arrested for . a typical vagrancy by . “hobo,"” was Patrolman the defendant had falsely represented | himself to innkeepers in the vicinity of | Franklin and Gough and Market streets as the policeman’s first cousin, thereby | evidently hoping to obtain free food and drink—especially the latter. ““And he's not your cousin?’ remarked, interrogatively. X ' indignantly replied the offi- cel he’s not related to me in any way.” “There certainly is little or no physi- cal resemblance to substantiate the claim of blood relationship,” said his the Judge and then he sentenced Mr. Alfred Desmond, carpenter, was passing by the grocery of Dennis Haggerty, at Ocean View, when several dogs barked and snapped at him, and while he was | kicking at the animals a 12-year-old son | of Mr. Haggerty assailed him with oral | abuse and threats. Transferring his at- | tention to the boy, Mr. Desmond was de- livering himself of a diatribe on how to train children, when Mr. Haggerty and his first-born, James, a lusty youth, emerged from the grocery and talked wickedly at the lecturer, for which that gentleman caused the elder Haggerty's arrest on the charge of peace disturbance. Judge Cabaniss heard the testimony and dismissed the defendant with a scathing reprimand. . e Miss Dottie Desmond, ®outhful, comely | of face and figure and very extensively hatted, displayed a nasty temper as she sat in Judge Mogan's court and awaited hearing of the charge of disorderly con- duct filed by the policeman who arrested her the previous evening where Kearny street enters the Barbary Coast region. She gnawed her nether lip, scowled at the | wall, | for Mr. Stevens. CRAWFORD. dignity, “that dancin’ for a Iivin' ain’t respectable?”’ ““As you dance for a living is not gen- erally conceded to be respectable,” his Honor answered with cold deliberation. Miss Desmond affected astonishment so deep as to prevent utterance, nor did sound escape her lips until her case had | o was reseated upon the prisoners’ bench. Then she abruptly emitted a prolonged flung her hands aloft, buried her face in them and groaned most dismally. “What's the matter with ye—are ye sick?” Bailiff Hickey inquired. “‘Oh, fudge!” softly exclaimed a mascu- line vagabond in the cage behind her, and all the othdr ('t\ged abonds grinned. told Judge Mogan that she would not ob- ject to having her husband, whom she ac- cused of battery, imprisoned for thirty days, and her implied desire was about | to be gratified when a.married sister of the defendant, with a babe in her arms, entered the Jnclus\m and declared that when her brother battered his better halt he simply did what no self-respecting benedict could have helped doing. “For she fed him on nothing but liver,” the lady went on to elucidate. “It was liver for him mornin’, noon an’ night— fried liver for breakfast, cold fried liver for lunch, boiled liver for dinmer. Could | any man stand nmt without kickin®; any brother afn’t no—" What the lady intended to pronoifice her brother as mot being was never:dis- closed, because Bailiff Mahoney, in obedi- ence to an eye signal from the bench, hustled her from the dals and roundly chided her for having approached it with- out the courts’ permission. Then the sug- gested ‘thirty days’' term was prescribed P at Ellis and Taylor streets late Friday night and intrusted him to the keeping of a citizen while the officer went to the nearest patrol box to summon the wagon. When he returned to where he had left his prisoner he saw him being escorted down Taylor street by a strange man, who was promptly arrested for Interfer- ing with a policeman. Explanations be- fore Judge Mogan resulted in the dis- missal of the alleged interferer, who was booked as James J. Gilday, clothier, his plea being that he did not know the in- — e ADVERTISEMENTS, DAILY SIANPOOS benign countenante of Bailiff Hickey when he glanced at her, stared mingled indignation and defiance at her uni- formed accuser, dashed her knuckles into her eves to remove spiteful tears, tapped the floor with her patent leather shoe | tips and did various other things ebulli- | tive of anger. Not for an instant was she in repose, and when at last her case was called she strutted to the bench with arms akimbo and haughtily met his Honors all-embracing glance. ‘When she had pleaded not guilty and supplemented the plea with a brief auto- biography, which made her a-19-year-old native of Los Angéles, the Judge asked her what she did for a livelihood. “I'm_employed in a Pacific-street dance hall,” ‘she replied. “Why don't you wrk?" his Honor in- quired. “w-.—l-l." she drawled, in tone expres- sive of both resentment and surprise, and accol by a slow elevation of her eyebrows, “ain’t that work?” “It is not commonly regarded as a le- timate voecation,” w-!hmdumy en- tening response.
