Sale price leges” in San Francisco, and the keen- ness of their existing rivalry was ex- emplified by the arrest of an employe of one on complaint of the president of the other and by the facts developed at the hearing of the case before Po- { lice Judge Mogan. Robert F. Eagle, the defendant, was accused of having violated an ordi- nance which necessitates the licensing of persons who carry advertising slgns | or devices on any public thoroughfare. | He was arrested on Kearny street by Patrolman Silver, who was urged to that duty by President Gillette' of ‘a “college” on Commercial street. he having beer provoked to such action | by the arreat of one of:his subordi- | nates for similar offense. Mr. Eagle, whose physique awoke recollection of Robert Fitzsimmons of the Broken | Heart, was bearing aloft a huge ban- | ner inscribed with eulogy of “Molar’s | Barber College” when the policeman | stopped his progrese. | The testimony went to show that be- tween Messrs. Gillette and Molar there | had been such strong contention in their | effort to obtain business as to make economists wonder how they can af- ford to give all they promise to give in return for the modest fees asked. ‘When one of them sent forth a “sand- wich man” to inform all who could | read as they ran' that his “college” would guarantee to shave without blood-letting for five cents, his rival immedlately proclaimed by llke means that his university stood pledged not only to give a goreless shave for a nickel, but to apply bay rum in lib- eral quantity to the chin thus treated. Then the bidding for patronage be- came so brisk that for half-a-dime any venturesome adult male could have gone through the entire tonsorial pro- gramme, from the laying on of lather to the denudation of hair, with sea- foam or shampooing incidentally thrown in. But not only was competitive enter- prise shown In the reaching out for | customers. The rivalry to enlist stu- dents was no less brisk. One ‘col- lege” added a post-graduate course, and the other school immediately “saw” that {nducement and raised it by offering to present each of its grad- uates with a set of razors. So the contest merrily waged until one of the Gillette placard-hawkers fell in behind a Molar ditto and dogged his steps and Impaired his utility by flaunting more tempting bait for the unshaven. “Whence come the students of these ‘colleges? ” the Judge inquired at ran- dom. . “From the country, mostly,” replied a policeman who {s profoundly versed in the ways of tke slums. “And the—the subjects who fall into their ‘prentice’ hands?” his Honor pur- sued. “From the wine-joints,” answer. When it was stated that one of the “colleges” had grossly plagiarized its rival's yell of “Scrape 'em, scrape 'em, vah, yah, yah!” the Judge asked if they had intercollegiate athletic con- tests. No, he was informed, but de- bating tourneys were frequent, be- cause they tended to equip the pupils with the conversational ability that is essential to popularity in the profes- sion they are alming to enter. The subjects discussed at such tilts of intellect, it was added, were sports and theatrics—or, to be more precise, pugilism, horseracing and vaudeville— with an occaslonal plunge into current social scandal. X Mr. Bagle was dismissed with a rep- rimand. was the Mrs. Marian McMillan, middle-aged and stout, swooned thrice while she en- deavored to enlighten Judge Shortall as to her reason for having had Mrs. Mary Castor arrested for peace disturb- ance, and his Honor was compelled to postpone the hearing until the ecom- plainant regains sufficient fortitude to carry her through the trying ordeal of telling how it happened. * The two ladies are neighbors on the second block of Silver street and Mrs. Castor appeared in court with a hand of her child clasped in one of her own. “I am sorry we can’t go on with th case to-day, Mrs. Castor,” said tI Judge apologetically, “but you see how it is—Mrs. McMillan is sick.” “And I don’t wonder at it,” quoth Mrs. Castor, dragging her offspring doorward. « e e “I'm 21 to-day and TI've a right to howl,” Harry Higgleston declared when Patrolmen Walsh and Peshon ar- rested him for disturbing the peace of the Stock Exchange by uttering loud and discordant yells. While en route to the prison he placed a pool ticket in his mouth and swallowed it, apparently with the object of concealing evidence upon which an additional charge might be based. Judge Conlan will sentence him to-morrow. Sot L % . F.

TUTORS OF TONSORS | ' ENGAGE IN RIVALRY “BARBER COLLEGES'" VIE FOR TRADE Competitive Enterprise Leads 1o Arrests and Queer Business Disclosures. BY JAMES O. CRAWFORD. There are two so-called “barber col- ; swam most of the way to the unfortunate ship on the rocks at Fort Bragg.” “I'd hate to punish a hero—especially a marine hero—in these days, when certain men’s at sea is questioned,” sald his Honor, “and if you pay for the glass you broke I'll let you go.” “I'll do it,” said Mr. Shutt. PR James McCurdy, who says he plays the constible in “Way Down Fast" at the Grand Opera-house, unprovokedly assault- ed Willlam - Roscoe, an officer - of the Young Men's Christian Assoclation, at Larkin and McAllister streets, and bat- tered Police Sergeant Bonner also for in- terfering. “I, seldom drink intoxicants, sir,” said Mr. McCurdy in measured delivery to Judge Bhortall, “and this unfortunate af- fair was a result of me drinking two bot- tles of stout after me performance last Thursday night. I know not Why I smote these gentlemen, nor do I know how I managed to play me part last evening, so miserably ashamed of meself did I feel. I solemnly swear, sir, that I shall drink no more intoxicants.” Sergeant Bonner did not desire to pros- ecute the stage constable, and on the oth- er battery charge a $5 fine was imposed. e e s “I got drunk on Thursday and was ar- rested, and I got drunk Friday as soon as I was released, and I'll get drunk to- day if I get out of here,” said John Hogan to Judge Conlan. “You won't get drunk again this month,” was ‘his Honor's response as he wrote “‘thirty days” opposite Mr. Hogan's name on the calendar. . e Five families occupy the tenement numbered 12B Langton Street and two of their respective feminine heads, Mrs. Etta de Moore and Mrs. Della Flood, contended for exclusive right Lo use a certain clothesline. Mrs. Flood's claim was based upon her prior tenancy, she having. resided there five years, while Mrs. de Moore “moved In” less than & year ago. After engaging in many oral tilts, with the honors about even, Mrs. de Moore sent this communication to Mrs. Flood: S F Feb I 1008 Mrs Flood Madom do you think because you have livved here for the past five years that you are a privileged character if 80 remove that deluston from your mind, you may have infringed on other tenents rights but you cannot on mine and the quicker you understand this the better it will be for all consirned F 3 I attend strickly to my own bulsness and will not allow others to middle or infringe on my rights I love peace and justice if I can-not have it the easy way I will take it by harsher ones I cannot assoclate with scandal mongers or do 1 wish to do 50 I believe in good prin- cipal and square deeling and try to live up to that standard People who have onely a spoon- ful of brains and that at the back of the head can-not be perswaided to do right onely by one Wwho has the love of god in there hearts and a hickory club in there hand to use i necessity compelle them to do so with me It matters not in what way I wield it (the club) if it be with my pen or my tongde even with my hands or by law and I certainly shall invoke the afd of the law if this prattling and annoyances do not cease in my hearing I do not write this to threaten you but to worn you I will keep my word the same as when 1 worned you not to antagonize me about the line if you did I should whip you you defled me and who suffers most by it you or I it/I am compelled to act again your booket book will suffer as well as your bones yow came on the property I was paing the rent for so I have the best of you on that line 1 never act unless T known I am right and right to me is always might might these days are not right as it used to be in your country in the Timeg of your ancestors you have inherated thelr characteristics it ‘wont work though at 12% Langton street Hoping this will be sufficient for all time to forbears from infringing on my rights and 1 certainly will not or have I in earnest iviledges as ere-to-fore on yours I am arnest If the menace conveyed in afile fore- soing lines was intended to have deter- rent effect it failed, for Mrs. Flood, al- though inferfor in both avoirdupois and stature to Mrs. de Moore, T her right to use the clothesline, ond no sooner did she do so than Mrs. de roon knocked her down and kicked ler.
