As a Citizen and Pater He Asks Her for Information. Her Response Is a Blow and a Declaration of Defrance. She Has Military Aides, but Crvic Power Is* Triumphant. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. It was as a citizen and a father, and not in the capacity of a municipal ser- vant appointed to preserve the peace, that Patrolman M. J. O’'Callahan went from his home, on Forty-fifth avenue, to the domicile of Mrs, Annie Stanley, laundress, at 407 Forty-third avenue, to solicit explanation as to why Master Stanley, baptized Robert and nicknamed “‘Sallie,” had, with disastrous accuracy of aim, hurled a fragment of rock at the head of. Master O’Callahan. Nor was there the harsh peremptoriness of au- thority in the tone with which the object of the visit was stated, yet no sooner " [FasminG bons= | | | | 1 | | + o> had the querist ceased speaking than Mrs. Stanley, with her own fair hand, “batted him in the mouth.” Is it enlightening to state that the citizen and the father instantly merged into the policeman? But even the assaulted one's assertion of offlcialism did not daunt Mrs. Stan- ley. Witnesses of the unprovoked at- tack were several United States Infan- trymen for whom she laundered, and,| evidently fired to revoliition by their presence, she decline to consider her- “Taike me if ye can,” she is reliably reported to have sald, In Whitechapel dialect and Billingsgate tone. “Hif ye lays yer ’'and on me, the same au- thority quotes her as having declared, 'em f'r hif they daon’'t maike ye tatke Thus, with arms akimbo, she breathed defiance, and that her trust in the sol- diers was not misplaced seemed evident when they menacingly scowled at her opponent. Whethcr he considered it more valorous to be discreet or more discreet to bide his time is open to con- Jecture. but the latter theory is strength- ened by the fact that, after a rapid sur- vey of the situation, he sald to Mrs. Stanley, “Oh, you'll keep till I get you,” and then abandoned the field. Straight to the Hall of Justice he hied and swore his assallant was a prisoner under war- rant, “I'll 'ave lots t' saiy w'en th’ prawper time comes,” she informed Police Judge | Shortall, before whom she was arraigned for battery, “but naow I keeps me mouth shut.” ® Then a continuance was asked for and granted. . i Mrs. Ollle Henning, about forty-five years old, chucklingly told Judge Mogan that she had “no manner o' use”. for C. O. Lazenby of 372 Lily avenue, who was battered while paying her an unin- vited call at the home of Roy Camp, on Laguna street, where she was employed as housekeeper. The battery was ad- ministered by Mr. Camp. “I don’t like him at all and never did.” she chortled, “because he kept a-pest- erin’ me tHl I was tired. He'd meet me on the street and ask me where he could call t' see me, and I directed him t' sev- eral vacant lots. And once,” she con- tinued, the recollection provoking her to outright laughter, “I told him I was liv- ing at a number on Washington street, and when he went there he found that the number was a Spring Valley water- tank. I'd a-given anything t' sece his face when he saw.the tapk.” The charge against Mr. Camp is under Jjudicial advisement. . Al apd Minnie Davis, accused of em- bezzling $10,300 belonging to H. P. Robson, who enfrusted the woman to bank the money for him, were held to the Superior Court by Judge Conlan, with the bail of each fixed at $10,000. Mrs. Davis, who has visibly lost av- oirdupois and acquired anxlety since the examination began, received the Judge’'s decision stoically, while Mr. Davis plainly exhibited worriment. » ek “I was drunk,” said James Fallon, arrested on Market street for fast driv- ing. “fFull yesterday and frank to-day, eh?” responded Judge Cabaniss. Case dismissed. R Archibald Johnson, a herculean ne- gro, who was arrested for vagrancy, exhibited a card showing that he is a member of the Sailors’ Union, but he was unable to prove that he has| recently been afloat. “Ah kain't be a sailah en a vag et one en de same time,” he pleaded tol Judge Shortall. “No, but to be a sailor a man must sail the sea once in awhile, while all the cruising you have done within the last six months was along the Barbary Coast,” said his Honor. “I'll see you again to-morrow.” . Thomas Eckles, native of England, complained that Julia Martin stole his watch and chain, and the detective as- signed to Investigate found the missing property in possession of a pawn- broker, who proved that it was pledged by Mr. Eckles himself. “I must a-bin in a trance,” sald Mr. Eckels to Judge Mogan. Case dllm!lle.d. of course. . After feloniously carrying away most of the portable household goods stored in the basement of the Las Palmas apart- ment house, 1820 Market street, Willlam NI | B.

Miller. £o when Mr. Lawlor returned to the basement and conveved therefrom a trunk he was shadowed to a lodging house on Natoma sireet, and in a room thereof was ar- rested while exploring his latest plunder. The chamber was artistically decorated with articles which he had previously stolen from the Las Palmas, among them being a number of dishes, blankets, sheets, coverlets and a latest pattern oil- burning heater, but of the many books which had disappeared at the same time not one was recovered. “If you tell us what you have done with the missing literature your case will not be injured by the disclosure,” Judge .Conlan hinted, but Mr. Lawlor equivocated. “How d'ye know: I ain’t killectin’' a library?” he said facetiously. Instead of replying, however, the Judge, who had been eying him sharply, said, “If I am not mistaken you were once here on a petty larceny charge, and while awaiting examination you walked out of court and never returned ' until today."” “Right you are,” Mr. Lawlor readily cenfessed. ““My, but ain’t you got a memory for faces?’ he added, admir- ingly. “Why did you depart so unceremoni- ousl. the Judge rejoined. “Oh, T was the last man on the bench there and I got tired waitin’ t' be called up.” “*Well, that library you have spoken of will not be further augmented for six months at least,” was the final pro- nouncement. &) » Mrs. Mary ‘E. Tr . buxom and blonde, “was frequently interrupted while she was telling Judge Conlan of how she discovered James McCarthy and John Wilson in the act of feloni- ously removing bathroom fixtures from the flat at 256 Turk street, which she was then going to rent and now oc- cuplies. It was her seemingly Irrepres- sible desire to describe what she had thought |nstead of what she had actu- ally seen that made the taking of her testimony such an exasperating pro- cess. . . “When the two gentlemen weént into the basement,” she began, alluding to the defendants, “I says to mysSelf—" “Never mind what you said to your- self—tell us what you saw,” his Honor put in. “Well, when they went in thinks I—" “We don’t want to know what you thought—Ilet us know what you saw.” “Well, 1 saw them go in, and then says I to my—" It was finally ascertained that she saw enough, Irrespective of what she thought, to justify the Judge in hold- ing Mr. Wilson for trial and continuing the case of Mr. McCarthy. There is a prior petty larceny con- viction against Mr. Wilson. . s e Patrolman McPhee asked Ed Han- sen, scavenger, why he was depositing garbage at Kansas and Seventeenth streets, and Ed Hansen requested Pa- trolman McPhee to go to hades. “I have been in jail all night said Mr. Hansen to Judge Cabaniss, ‘“and I think 1 have had punishment enough.” “So do 1" sald his Honor, “but I think also that you have had enough enlight- enment to offset the inconvenience of in- carceration. Your arrest, in fact, has conveyed to you more knowledge of po- liteness than you could acquire by read- ing ‘The Life of Lord Chesterfield’ from title page to appendix. The next time you are spoken to in clvility you will re- spond in like manner, won't you now?” “‘Sure,”” replied Mr. Hansen. “Then you are at liberty to go home.” forame . J. M. Macfarland, accused of having comymitted numerous forgeries while “he was local agent of the Fidelity Trustee and Receiving Company, was arraigned before Judge Mogan and remanded for examination next Tuesday. o im e Police Captain Gleeson suspects that Nathan Carlson, arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in Golden Gate Park, is the author of several recent robberies with viclence committed south of Market street, and Judge Cabaniss has ordered that Mr. Carlson be held for further in- vestigation.

Six people, who are known to have been bruised by the impact and cut by flying glass, made their way to! their homes before their names or the extent of thelr injurfes could be ascer- tained. ‘The collision, accordng to wit- nesses, was the result of the careless- ness of the gripman of the cable car. Others say that both motorman and grip- man were €qually to blame for the mix- up. Each man says he had the right of way. The accident occurred at 7:20 p. m. Eastbound car No. 1025 of the Fifth and San Bruno avenue line, in charge of motorman E. O. Rood .and conductor R. C. Ballard, started across Ninth street after having come to a stop at the near| crossing. When a few feet across the tracks of the cable line, dummy No. 15 of the Polk and Larkin street llne crashed into the front steps of the trolley. People fled right and left and many jumped to safety. Young Berggren, who was standing on the steps, did not see the impending collision until it was too late to jump. He was caught by the heavy dummy and crushed against the steps of the trolley. His screams of fright and pain were heard for blocks | and a crowd soon collected. The lad was rushed to the Central Emergency Hos- Raincoats weather. proof, weatherproof.

Potter, the well-known real estate man, ran into a southbound Fillmore-street car at Golden Gate avenue shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday morning, derailing the car and. injuring John J. Lyons, one of the passcngers. Several other passengers had a narrow escape from death. In the automobile were Potter and his chauffeur, John Cranford. The big ma- i&chine was spinning down . Golden Gate avenue at a lively clip after having left Potter's home on Steiner street. Cranford lost control of his lever at Fillmore street just as southbond car No. 573, heavily laden with passengers, was approaching the crossing. The chauffeur tried to swerve his ma- chine and succeeded in turning it many feet to the left. He shouted to the car- men at the same time and.the motorman responded by loudly clanging his gong. But the warning came a second too late, for the automobile smashed into: the rear end of the car with such force as to lift the car off the track. A panic followed the collision. Men, women and children made frantic efforts to escape and in a few seconds heaps of them were piled upon the street, being thrown from the ~car by the - terrific force of the collision. John J. Lyons,“a carpenter employed by the Board of Pub- lic Works, was the only one who suffered serious injury. He was thrown to the ground with such violence as to render him unconscious. He was not seriously hurt. Both the electric car and the automobile were badly damaged by the collision. —————————— DARES SHERIFF'S DEPUTY TO EVICT HER WOMAN Mrs. Martha Weiler Wraps Herself in American Flag, but Is Taken to Detention Hospital. When Deputy Sheriff Jesse Galland attempted yesterday to serve a writ of. possession on Mrs. Martha Grundies ‘Weiler at 413 Harrison street th> lady wrapped herself in an American flag, and dramatically crying out that she was under the protection of the United States Government, dared Galland to serve the writ. Belleving that the woman was demented, Galland called in Deputy Sheriff Knox, who took Mrs. ‘Weller to the Detention Hospital for examination. Before going there Mrs. Weiler. indicted a letter addressed to J. M. Emmons, at whose instance her eviction was ordered under a claim of $36 for unpaid rent. The wrfter in- formed Emmons that sue is the rightful =.{dow and heir of the late Richard Weiler.
