EEHEIER e It Promptly but Not Angrily Calls Her a Liar. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. S Among those present was the parrot, and, with head knowingly cocked side- | ways, it dreamily blinked at Miss Lillian Teckina and listened to her recountal of how she found it, shivering, disheveled and despondent, feebly tapping the back door of her dwelling, 10% Scott place, one chilly evening about three weeks ago. Not a word did it utter while she told how she took it in @nd warmed it and fed it and plumed its bedraggle wings and tail feathers, but when she incident- ally sald she soon discovered that its per- sonal habits, so to speak, were not marked by fastidiousness it perked up and sharply protested. 5 “To tell you the truth, Judge,' was -+ o+ — . what Miss Teckina said to his Honor Con- lan, “it'’s an untidy bird.” “You're a liar!” instantly ejaculated the parrot. Commotion in court. The bench frowned.severely at both the offender and its custodian, Patrolman F. W. Engle, while the attorney’'s table sniggered and the balliffs rapped for order. The situa- tion was relieved by Miss Teckina declar- ing that’she dld not mind the seeming af- front, inasmuch as it was the full total and extent of the speaker's vocabulary. “That was all it could say when I adopted it,” she explained, “and I did not attempt to teach it any more words.”” “It’s language,” quoth the Judge, “though limited, is almost as reprehensi- ble as the untidiness you have allegeu. Mise Ciria Woodville, who fesides near to the Teckina home, claimed sole pro- prietorship of the parrot. “It escaped from me,” she told the court, “and I ad- vertised it in an Itallan paper.” “We don't take an Itallan paper,” Miss Tekina put in. ““And maybe the bird can’t read Itallan, anyway,” said the Judge. “When it fwas finally found in Miss Tecktha's possession,’ Miss Woodville continued, “‘she refused to give it up un- less I paid her $11 for boarding and lodg- ing it three weeks.” ““What did you feed it on—tutti fruti?” the bench asked Miss Teckina, who smiled and answered not. “So the next thing I did was to get a search warrant,” Miss Woodville, con- cluded, “and here the three of us are.” ‘When the court, after further inquiry and due deliberation, approved Miss Woodville's claim she was handed her property. “You're glad to see me—I know you are,” she exclaimed, gazing tenderly at her recovered pet. “Your'e a liar” was the screeched re- sponse, but its tone reflected gladness of spirit. Speeding his milk delivery wagon along Market street at 4:30 o'clock p. m. while a semi-deluge was in progress, Rudoif Fitcher was brought to a halt by Patrol- man E. Knowland, “What d'ye mean by driving like that?"” the officer asked. ~What d'ye mean by stopping me in such a ralnstorm as this?’ was Mr. Fitcher's counter-query. His arrest was the answer, and when Judge Mogan asked him what he aid mean by endangering human life and Iimb and fracturing an ordinance he re- lied that he was in a hurry to reach his ome. *Afraid, I suppose,” his Honor ventured, “that the rain might penetrate your milk cans afd weaken the quality of the con- tents, eh?” Sentenice was postponed till tovday. .« s e asked by Judge Mogan if he worked for a livelihood, Walter J, Porter, of whose exterior not one square inch was unadorned with dried mud, manifested*mingled surprise and horror. “What—work?” he almost screamed, swaying and_clutching blindly at the bench rail. “Work? Me work? I never work!” With which declaration he re- gained composure, folded his arms across the breast of his too-long swal- low-tail coat and,’ gloweringly listened to the charge of peace disturbance. It was recited by Lieutenant James F. Daniel, superintendent of the Help- ing Hand Salvationist Mission, on Com- mercial street, between Montgomery and Kearny. Mr. Porter spent ten cents for the privilege of spending last Tuesday night there, and at 9 o’clock the next morning he demanded the bath that he had neglected to indulge in before retiring. Informed that his de- sire could not conveniently be complied with, he waxed abusive. “If you don't cease making a dis- turbance,” the lieutenant warned him, “we shall be compelled to eject you.” “r'd like to gee” Mr. Porter de- fiantly retorted, “the size and shape of the double-dashed Salvationist that could put me out” - : “Where is. Fau'olnt Bixby?” the lieu- tenant quietly asked a subordinate, al- | luding to the same one-armed and muscular Christian who, with his single fist knocked out seven able-bodied hoodlum assailants one recent day on Third street. : The doughty sergeant happened to be there, and when Mr. Porter ceased roll- ing In the miry pavement, he was al- ‘Whep 13 most at Montgomery street. Sore of body and extremely dirty, but not sub- dued of spirit, he returned to the scene of his expulsion, wrested a signboard from its fastenings and with it smashed the entire glass front of the Helping Hand. 3 “You may as well make up your mind to undergo a long period of loath- ing,” said the Judge to him, “for the sentence I have in store for you means daily work of a toilsome character.” “When do I get it?” inquired Mr. Porter, with anticipatory shiver. “To-morrow,” was the reply. « s = When asked by Judge Conlan to state his full name he murmured, “Mahl Van Cleve,” and when requested to spell out the baptismal portion of it he lisped, “M-e-r-r-i-1-1" Vagrancy was the charge, and despite his declaration that he occasionally served as a res- taurant waiter, he was given thirty days. “Judge, you're weally most unkind,” he remarked as he was led back to the cage, where in sibilant whisper he expressed his indignation to unsympa- thetic fellow-misdemeanants. Then from the prison there wafted information to the effect that Mr. Van Cleeve was wanted at Baker City, Ore., to participate in the division of an es- tate, but the sentence of the court was not withdrawn. . . Charles A. Fritsch, accused of having robbed apartments in the Winchester Hotel, on Third street, was sent to the Superior Court by Judge Shortall to dnswer two burglary charges. The complaining witnesses, C. A. Gardell of Arizona and D. J. Lipe of this town, claimed to have been plundered of clothing. .« . Alexander Olesen, claiming to be en- rolled a. b. on the books of the schooner Albert Meyer, is under most serious ac- cusation befote Judge Mogan. John Hall of 252 East street has identl- fled Olesen as the person who accosted him for alms at Bast and Mission streets and cut him in the back and hand with a knife because he refused to give up $5. And with the same knife Olesen s al- leged to have stabbed John Seaman in an- East-street saloon. Acting on the description of their as- sailant given him by all and Seamap, Patrolman T. F. Slattery arrested Olesen in Riley’s barroom, 118 East street, and when confronted by his v.cums they positively identified him. His defense will be heard to-morrow. R Annie Whitney, who once upon a time rolled in Juxury, is before Judge Shortall on the charge of having stabbed one Dominick Rodgers of 933 Kearny street. A few weeks ago Judge Mogan dismissed a vagrancy charge against her in return for her earnest promise to abandon dis- solute living. In the days of her opulence Annie Whitney was an extremely handsome woman, but when her riches took flight her good looks quickly succumbed to de- graded dissipation. Her habitat is ‘the Barbary Coast, where, the police say, she is enabled by her former prestige to ob- tain the drink that is all she seems to live for. . In a Fourth-street rotisserie where a large triangle of pie and a huge cup of alleged coffee are obtainable for 5 cents Paul M. Johnson ate and drank so much of the fare that he became stupefled and was unable to leave the table, and when the policeman who arrested him for drunkenness discovered the real cause of his inertia he booked him for vagrancy. “How do you feel now?" Judge Con- lan asked him. . “Conslderably better,” was the reply. “r'd like to know if a man can't eat in this town without being arrested for it."” ““There is no anti-gluttony ordinance that T know of,"” sald his Homor, “but vagrancy, not gluttony, is the charge agaipst you."” “How could a glutton be a vagrant or a vagrant a glutton?” inquired Mr. John- son, with challenging glance at Prosecut- ing Attorney Flood, who sidestepped the poser. But the charge of vagrancy could not Dbe disproved, despite the evidence of Mr. Johnson’s Lucullan {ndulgence, and he was given thirty days. “I suppose if I had the gout you'd give me six months, -wu: hl.: final sarcasm. i For combining the selling of pools on horse races with their selling of cigars at 728 Davis street, ©d Palmer and Fred Smith were arrested by Patrolmen O'Connor and McGowan and will be sentenced to-day by Judge Mogan. ————— SAMPSON’S TRIAL ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT TO ROB BEGINS Accused of Attempting to Hold Up in The trial of Willlam Sampson, alias William Ellis, on a charge of assault with intent to rob, was commenced be- fore a jury in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday. Several witnesses were ex- amined, and it is expected that the trial will close this afternoon. Assistant District Attorney O'Gara is prosecut- ing and Attorney Charles A. Low is representing the defendant. . Sampson is accused of attempting to hold up Harry Foley, the ex-pugilist, in Golden Gate Park while Foley was walking with Miss Florence Hanly, on the night of September 5. Foley quick- 1y puiled a revolver and Sampson fled. Four shots were fired at him and it is alleged that one bullet struck him on the arm. When Foley reported the affair at the Golden Gate park sta- tion he was ordered under arrest by Lieutenant Kelly, but was discharged next morning. & Sampson, it is alleged, used a horse and buggy in his highway robberies, tak- ing his wife and child along to prevent suspicion falling upon him. He had hited a rig from Stables on the night of the attempted bold-up. His wife drove it to the stables and left it outside. His wife was arrested with him, but was re-| leased in a day or twe, & k: BLACK SHVACES ISE TONAAANKS Make Raid on Villages in New Guinea and North Australia and Murder Many SIX WHITE MEN DEAD Force of Armed Constables Sent in Pursuit of War- riors Who Did the Killing VIGTORIA, B. C, Jan. 18.—Advices of massacres by the blacks in New Guinea and North Australia were re- ceived by the steamship Moana to-day. In New Guinea a party of warrlors made- a raid.-on the village of Ekiri, thirty miles from the capital, Port Moresby, and killed thirty-three of the inhabitants. The bodies were mu lated. The village was looted and de- stroyed, everything: of value being car- ried off. The village constable es- caped, and after hiding in the bushes for .some days with two other survi- vors he reached Port Moresby. A force of armed constables was sent to punish the raiders. The other massacre, at Port Keats, involved the killing by blacks of six white men and three natives. Messrs. Flinders and Bender, government engi- neers, engaged in well-boring, brought the news to Port Darwin. They stated that two white engineers had been murdered and seven black men had been arrested and taken on board a steam launch.. The party on board the launch were surprised by the blacks and massacred, with the exception of a native boy, who jumped overboard and escaped. The white men wezg killed with tomahawks while sleepin —_—————————— WANTS THE NEW CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL ERECTED Health Board Utges Supervisors te Select Site and Proceed With Comstruction Work. The Board of Health yesterday) adopted a resolution urging the Board of Supervisors to select a site for the new City and County Hospital to be built under the bond issue. The reso- lution also requests the Supervisors to proceed with the construction of the building as soon as possible. . The board appointed F. V. Prouty résident physician of the hospital, at a salary of $25 monthly: M. J. de Wolf, to be chief cook; A. Raymond, interne, and Dr. Powell, externe, at the same in- stitution. Health Officer Ragan filed his report for December, reviewing the sanitary work done in that month. Ragan rec- ommends that the salary of milk in- spectors be raised from $80 to $100 per month, and that Chief Laboratory As- sistant Kendall's salary be raised from $85 to $100 per month. Ragan also suggests that the balance of an appropriation of $1675 for milk inspection under the supervision of university professors be diverted to the Health Department. Ragan says the excitement over impure milk has been allayed, and the suggestion would in no way reflect upon the work of the State laboratory, as the members did not solicit the appointments as auxil- 1a|¥ milk inspectors. he board set February 1 as the date for hearing the complaint relative to the unsanitary cendition of premises at 601, 603 and 605 Battery street and 700 #nd 702 Sansome street, which have been ordered vacated. ——————————— SHERIFF WANTS COOKS FOR THE COUNTY JAILS O'Neil Sayy Much Food Is Wasted by Prisoners Inexperienced in Domestic Science. . Sheriff O’'Neil yesterday made requisi- tion on the Board of Bupervisors for the appointment of two cooks in branch jail No. 2, and one cook in branch jail No. 8. O'Nell says the cooking is now being done by prisoners supervised by guards, and a great amount of food ls wasted by inexperienced people trying to cook. O'Nell says the jails are in need of a practical druggist, who can fill pre- scriptions, a prisoner having been at- tending to the important work. The jails have 350 prisoners, and O'Nell says that should sickness develop serious consequences may result. The Sheriff is investigating the es- cape of Frank Marshall, a prisoner from jail 2. Marshall was trusty, with three months yet to serve, and pried open the bars on the window of a kitchen and decamped. —_— Advertising Me Association Secures Brilliant Orator. Mr. John Lee Mahin of the Mahin Ad- vertising Agency, Chicago, arrived in San Francisco yesterday. Mr. Mabin is one of the bright lights in the advertis- ing world. He was the originator d glrector of the Mahin College of Adver- ising and his essays on publicity have always had an element of originality and cogent reasoning which have aided greatly in making his advertising agency one of the leading concerns of its kind in the Chicago fleld. Mr. Mahin is scheduled to address the convention of the Pacific Coast Adver- tising Men's Association at Los Angeles to-morrow and will be the leading speaker of the meeting. Jury to Pass on De Paoll’s Sanity. Judge Dunne yesterday recelved the reports of the Insanity Commissioners that, after examining Lulgi de Paoll, they belleved he was insane. The Judge informed Attorney Spinetti, who represents De Paoli, that when the case was called to-morrow he would set a day next week for impaneling a jury to pass upon the defendant's sanity. De Paoll murdered his sister-in-law, Catherine de Paoli, because he believed she had the “‘evil > CELESTINS Natural Alkaline Water CURES Dyspepsia the Golden Gate | o R, Stomach Troubles CREAMERY BUTTER The usua! good qualiis.
