Mr Johnson, who is a night watch- denied the alleged peace disturb- ance and informed the court that he construed his arrest as having been instigator’s desire to “worm out” of refunding rental which he had paid her in advance. Moreover, he had nged his residence to 1102 Howard street, and greatly relished his freedom from being “nagged.” Case dismissed and Mrs. Burns undis- guisedly disappointed Thomas Adams admitted that he was drunk when ratrolman Teutenberg ar- him for begging on Kearny and after delivering this homily DGER OFFERS TOWED HIS NEW LAN DLADY.

He told the Judge that he was powerless to stay the deluge of floral tributes, which he estimated at true value as propitiatory offerings from one who desired to profit from his inside knowledge of coming speed events at Emeryville. . v ‘While standing at the door of his elec- trical supplies shop, 2130 Fillmore street, - 3+ Adolf Weiner saw Morris Gibb, tinsmith at No. 2104 on the same thoroughfare, take paing to direct an inquiring lady to the establishment of a rival electri- clan on the same block, so Mr. Weiner, concluding that he was being systemati- cally injured in a business way by Mr. Gibb, resolved to have explanation,’if not reprisal, when opportunity offered. Soon afterward Mr. Gibb was passing by the shop of Mr. Weiner, when he was rudely seized by that gentleman and dragged toward the door with such force that his utmost physical strength was required to withstand the haul, and when he escaped with no injury more serious than a fracture of the eyeglasses he considered himself extremely fortunate, inasmuch as he was certain that he would have been cruelly beaten, maybe slain, if Mr. Weiner had succeeded in getting him inside the store. So he was in self- congratulatory mood when he compassed Mr. Weiner's arrest on the charge of battery. Mr. Weiner told Judge Shortall that he saw by Mr. Gibb's gestures, whiie di- recting that lady, that she wanted elec- trical work done and that he was inform- ing her that she would better get the rival to do it. Mr. Gibb averred, in the same presence, that he belleved he had a right to do as he pleased when any one asked him for advice as to where the best electrician in that district was to be found. He did not regard Mr. Welner as a first-class electrican, and surely he could not be expected to mislead people by telling them that he was. Judge Cabaniss sentenced him to thirty days’ imprisonment: f a man is charged with having simply been drunk I regard him as a weakling and do not ordinarily punish him, except occasionally for his own good. If a man is charged with having | His Honor sald he would give the ques- merely solicited alms and I am con- | tions involved more than due considera- that he begged because he was unfortunate instead of lazy and needed s tion and hand down a decision today. .« e Judge Cabaniss held H.

But when a man is charged with having combined drunkenness with begging 1 have abso- lutely no sympathy for him, and I think the quicker and the longer he is re- tired from public circulation the better it is for soclety.” B P For six ccnsecutive months from this date the itinerant venders of viands on the Barbary Coast will be free trom the extortions practiced upon them by Bar- ney Edwards, a negro with abnormal appetite, whose wont was to partake of their wares and then threaten them with annihilation if they dared to de- mand payment or complain of his con- duct to the police. To quote the ar- resting policeman, “He had ’em com- pletely buffaloed.” Ham sandwiches were Mr. Edwards’ favorite food and the men who peddled them were at his command when he acquired a yearning for chicken tamales and went to his un- doing. The vender of the tamales de- clined to be intimidated and informed a policeman how he had been victim- 1zed and the policeman did the rest. B Judge Shortall intimated intention to send Mary Locke, recently released from the County Jall and arrested for vagrancy, back to that institution, but | her frantic plea changed his mind and he ordered dismissal instead. “If you send me out there I'll starve to death, sure,” she cried. “They've put Maggie Flaws in the kitchen and every bit of grub that Scotch woman has any- thing to do with tastes of snuff. If the soup was thickened with cayenne pepper it couldn’t be hotter, and soup is about all I can eat when I'm iIn jail.” There was sincerity in the grateful utterances with which she rewsrded the Judge. . . Of the twelve men impaneled to try George McRae, who is alleged to have alienated the affection of Mrs. Otto F. Schiller, only three are benedlcts. The specific charge against Mr. Mc- | Rae is that of having exhibited a re- volver in a rude and threatening man ner when Mr. Schiller accosted him a: he was leaving Mrs. Schiller's home at 1 o'clock on the morning of February 6. Judge Mogan has set next Monday as the date of hearing the testimony. .« e e Cooney Williams, a negro trainer of race horses, wanted to know how long he was to remaln in incertitude as to the outcome of his arrest on a charge of va- grancy, and Judge Mogan informed him that for two weeks more, at least, he will not be officlally informed of what his_social status legally is. “Dis yah puttin’ et off'n puttin’ et off,” sald Mr, Willlamg, “am 'stremely wearin’ on de nehves.” “The court cannot help that,”” was the response; *‘'so cankering care must bide accused of forgery, to answer in the Su- perjor Court with ball set at $2000. T. F. Hood of San Jose owned the fur- niture of the Linwood House, street, and disposed of it to Pederson for the title deed to a plat of land in Mon- terey County, said deed being signed C. E. Wright. Pederson guaranteed the sig- nature as genuine, but inquiry by Hood led to the disclosure that Wright had never attached his name to the document, which, therefore, was worthless.

MINERS CONVENE AT INDIANAPOLIS Will Consider Any Questions That Arise in Reaching Agreement With Owners PRESENT UNITED FRONT National Executive Board Approves the Ousting of Dolan by District Body —_— INDIANAPOLIS, March 15.—The na- tional executive board of the United Mine Workers of America at a meeting held tonight following the adjournment of the national convention approved the finding of President Mitchell in the matter of the ousting of Patrick Dolan from the presidency of district No. 5, Western Pennsylvania, and the report of the board tomorrow will confirm the ousting of Dolan by the conventlon of district No. 6 and the appointment of three members of the executive board to take charge of the district affairs until the office s filled by special election. After a heated sesslon lasting three hours behind closed doors, in which Do- lan’s claims were argued by himself and Uriah Bellingham, vice president of the district, who was also ousted from office, the board voted unanimously to sustain the action of the president and the dis- trict convention. According to a story circulated here the Ohio operators have determined to abolish the check-off system by which the operators collect the dues for the miners’ organization and which the oper- ators allege is the backbone of the unfon. The national convention of the Unlited | | Mine Workers of America opened at 10 o'clock today with more than 1000 dele- gates present, representing 1461 locals. The convention had been called by Presi- dent Mitchell to consider any questions that may arise in reaching an agreement with the coal operators that will prevent a general strike on April 1 that would bring 425,000 men from the mines. The conference with the operators will begin here Monday next. When the convention met today the differences that have appeared to exist between President Mitchell and Vice President Lewls were apparently laid aside and will not be allowed to interfere with the more important work of the convention, that the miners might pre- sent a united front. President Mitchell in calling the con- vention to order sald in dart: While, of course, the many conflicting and | inharmonious statements emanating from va- rious sources purporting to reflect the views of operators seem to indicate an entire absence of unity and concord among them in regard to the question of mdvancing wages, I am nevertheless hopeful, if not fully convinced, that the urgency and seriousness of the eitua- tion will prompt them to make reasonable concessions in the matter of wages and condi- tions as will enable us to join them in the re- habilitation -of our Jolm “mgreement and the perpetuation of the practical business relation- ship under which we have worked with mu- tual advantage during the past eight years, and to this end I feel it incumbent upon me to say that a very large degree of responsibility will Test upon us if these proposed negotin- tions lead to succes AGED SONOMA PIONEER GOES TO LONG REST PETALUMA, March 15.—William How- ard Pepper, who was born in Dutchess County, New York, on January 24, 1824, and who had been a resident of Petaluma since 1858, dled last night at his home In this city.

VISALIA LANDS ARE INUNDATED Kaweah River Overflows its Banks and Water Covers Acres of Orchard Ground SANTA FE TRACKS OUT Levee Weakened by Former Floods Gives Way and Mud- dy Torrent Leaps Bounds oy T Special Dispatch to The Call. VISALIA, March 15.—The heaviest storm that has visited this section for many years has been raging in the mountains east of here for the last twenty-four hours. At Eshom Valley over five inches of rain has fallen, at the power-house of the Mount Whitney Power Company over four inches, and at both places the rain is still coming down in torrents. The mountain gorges have suddenly become channels for roaring torrents, which are sweeping down into the Kaweah'River and filling it with a greater volume of water than it has attempted to carry for many seasons. The muddy currents broke over the banks at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and, rising at the rate of 8 inches every hour, swept rapidly out over the surrounding country. The large levee on the south side, weakened by previous overflows, soon gave way and a huge volume of water is now rushing through a gap over | 100 feet wide and covering all of the ter- ritory immediately north of tpwn. The Santa Fe track gave way in the same place as before, having been but tem- porarily repaired, and a gap 200 feet wide has been made and is rapidly wid- ening. Travel over the road will be im- possible for several days. The Visalia Orchard Company, the Eneina Fruit Company, the Visalia the Burrel ranch and the Harrell estate are among the large bodies of land inundated. The river is still rising. —_—— FARMERS FRIGHTENED. Ranchers Along Mokelumne Fear Repe- tition of Floods of Two Years Ago. LODI, March 15.—The Mokelumne River is out of its banks and the bot- tom lands are flooded. The river will reach its highest point tonight, and the land owners in the vicinity are fearful of a repetition of the floods of two years ago. A fall of over three inches of rain was recorded in the three days’ storm just ended, and in the mountains, at the mouth of the Mokelumne, where the rain h: been much heavier than here, nearly six inches fell. The down- pour was so heavy in Northern San Joaquin that much wieat was washed out and vineyards are retarded in cul- tivation. Some ranchers fear that they will not be able to set out vines this season, es- pecially in the Black Lands, for the ground is too wet to work. A frost is feared tonight and to avold damage to the tree fruits, the buds of which are remarkably well advanced for the sea- son, smudges are being burned in the orchard districts. o £ AN GILA RIVER IS FALLING.

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 15.—The Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad train that left for Maricopa last night and was turned back by reason of the dan- gerous condition of the Glla River bridge, left again this afternoon. It has not yet returned and presumably made a safe crossing, though the river is still high. The damage to the Arizona canal by high water in Salt River is not so bad as feared yesterday.

The river is car- rying more water than at any time for fifteen years, being fully 400 feet in width and several fcet deep. The dam this afternoon is in a very shaky condi- tion. Although no dwellings arc in danger, the crops on 3000 acres will be ruined. i yedsle TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR. No Damage Has Been Done, But Fresno Farmers Are Uneasy.
