Miller has in- formed his class in economics at the univer- sity of his belief that the cld-fashioned, ruiged brand of justice dealt out by the forty. niners was a superior article, worthy of im tation by municipalities of the present da; He said: ‘“We hear much of the need of busi- ness-like administrations for cities. For the best example of this we have to go back to the days of '49 in Callfornia. Then they had a government operated on business principles because almost every man made it his busi- ness to see that the laws were enfored, If this was done today many of the evils of our city life would disappear.” e SWEDISH DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS TWO COMEDIES The Swedish Dramatic Club presented last night two laughable comedies In the language of the fatherland at Turn Verein Hall before a large audience.

He is being let out every other day under the pretext that he is visiting a dentist. ‘When Judge Dunne sentenced Hopkins he was incensed at the jury for not bring- ing in a verdict of assault to commit mur- der. When a verdict of simple assault was found his Honor gave Hopkins the limit and refused to permit the alterna- tive of a fine. Judge Dunne is incensed to hear that exceptions are being made in the case of Hopkins, who is wealthy, that would not be made in the case of any other prisoner. He is determined that the assailant of McGinley shall serve out the full time given him and that no favoritism shall be shown to him. Hopkins laid in wait for McGinley in the doorway of an Ellis street resort, and as the latter came out he stabbed him. Had the knife blade gone an inch to the left or right McGinley would not have recovered. Another phase of the case that Judge Dunne will look into is why Hopkins was not sent to the Branch County Jail, as is the custom when convicted men are sen- tenced. There has been no apepal made in the Hopkins case, consequently his be- ing kept at the Broadway Jail is contrary to all precedent.

BERKELEY, March 31.—Rev. W, M. Babcock, a colored minister of Topeka, Kansas, who was run over by an elec- tric car a few days ago, his leg being crushed, coolly watched the amputation of the injured member today at the Roosevelt Hospital. He asked the at- tending physicians, Dr. Rowell and Dr. Abbott, to omit the use of anesthetics and to so arrange him on the operating table as to permit of his seeing the work of amputation. The doctors granted the request and Babcock wit- pessed the surgeons’ work without flinching.

WOULD NOT LNV WHEN OEPENDENT John Robinson Renounces Life That Can Be Kept Only by Friends’ Charity f M S50 A s After struggling cheerfully with dire poverty for two years, old John S. Robt son, pioneer veteran of the Mexican War and former millionaire, gave up trying 10 live when he fqund that he was to Da- come a ward of charity. He is now dying at St. Luke’s Hospital. Robinson came West in the 40's as a soldier in the Mexican war. At the end ot the war he served the United States upon the boundary commission. This diplomatic labor ended, he came to Call- fornfa. He soon rose to be one of the leading men of the new commonwealth. His ventures were successful. He became the owner of a line of ships plying be- tween the Golden Gate and Australia, and his property was valued up into the millions. With age, however. came reverses. His shipping company failed, His millions dis- appeared gradually in unlucky specula- tions. When nothing remained, he agaia served the Government in minor capa- cities. After a while, even this resource failed him, and for the last two years, an old man of over 8, he has been living upon his veteran's diminutive pension of §12 a month. How Robinson succeeded In living on this is a mystery to his friends. But he managed not only to present a decent aX- terfor, but to decelve every ome by a well-assumed air of great cheerfulness. It is only lately, when he began to fall, that friends found out the truth. ‘The Ploneer Scciety arranged to have the old gentleman taken to the Veter- ans’ Home at Yountville. He was to be removed there yesterday, but when morn- ing came it was found that he had suf- fered a serious collapse during the night. He was taken to St. Luke’'s Hospital.
