Select Publi?filorough{are ; as Sceneof Terpsicho- rean Activity. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. | Not until they had wearied of less| nuous means of soclal recreation did the Misses Eliza Malavori, Nellie Celve and Lucy Lavine and Messrs. George Adams and Peter Batovich en gage in the terpsichorean exercise for which they were arrested by Patrol- men Cornelius, McConnell and Mitchell last Friday night near the northern | extremity of Fillmore street. | “They held lighted candles in their | hands,” Patrolman Cornelius testified | before Police Judge Conlan, “and were |dancing a five-handed reel on the | roadway. in front of the house they have occupied since the calam—" | “Yes, yes,” his Honor hastily inter- rupted. “Were they drunk or sober?” “Well, I like that,” chuckled Miss | Lavine. “Drunk? Where in the world |could we get the stuff to make us j drunk? T haven't seen the color of [ beer since the catas—" \ “Then what did you mean by danc- |ing at midnight upon a public thor- ; oughfare?” “Because we didn't have no other | place to ‘dance upon that was as | smooth as the asphalt,” put’in Miss Celve. “An’ we didn’t begin a- dlncin' till we had sung ourselves hoarse' an’ | told all the storles we could think of an’ were just a-sittin’ an' twiddlin’ |our fingers an’ yawnin' an’ wonderin' | how long it'll be before th’ dance hn.llsl | open up again.” | “Oh, you were dance hall ladies prior | to the disas—I mean, before the dance | halls were destroyed?” the court | queried. “Yes,” Lucy | says, said Miss Celve, “an’ when here—Miss Lavine, I mean— ‘Girls, let's have a candle dance keep ourselves in practice,’ we jist jumps at th’ idear.” “An’ we didn't make no noise or disturb no peace,” quoth Miss Mala- |vori. “It was th’ first time I shook me feet since the catacly—' “Did you have musical accompani- ment?” the Judge abruptly asked. “Oh, we jist hummed ‘Me Merry | Oldsmobile’ in two-step time,” Miss Celve responded. The male defendants said naught, but gloomily nodded concurrence as the ladies pleaded. By request of the prosecution a con- tinuance of the hearing till next Fri- day was ordered. . |t | Edward Ziska, whose immaculate linen made him conspicuous among the misdemeanants in Judge Mogan's court, deplored the memory shatter- ing effect of the strong waters sold in Alameda County. “For,” he elucidated, “I have no recollection whatever of the incident these folks have related.” The “folks” were Patrolman High- tower and Mr. Knox, restaurateur aboard a Key Route ferry-boat, and the “incident” was Mr. Ziska's refusal to pay for 70 cents’ worth of food which he, while intoxicated, had or- dered and consumed in the floating rotisserie. “When payment was demanded,” Mr. Knox testified, “he said, ‘I guess you'll have to drop me overboard to get even, for I haven't a cent’ Fail- ing to see how his immersion would | make me even with him, I gave him into custody instead.” After pronouncing Mr. Ziska guilty of both drunkenness and defrauding an ! innkeeper, the Judge said to him: “Day after tomorrow I shall sentence; |you to a term at brick cleaning, and as it shall be an unusually long term | voy may attain promotion by faithful | service. Indeed, it shall depend upon your own behavior whether you remain |a private or become a non-commis- isioned officer of the Portsmouth | Square mortar chipping corps.” Mr. Ziska did not seem to be ex- hilarated by the prospect of glory- | getting thus presented. . . | There was no mention of chicken- | keeping In the covenant by which | Tony Loisen rented from Adrian Gul- | sow the dwelling numbered 65 on Tre- | mont street, and when Monsieur Gul- | sow visited the premises last Friday | and witnessed two-fowls industriously scratching up the front garden and angrily protested against the pres- ence, to say nothing of the conduct, of the birds, he conveyed both surprise and pique to Monsieur Loisen. Heat- ed discussion between the gentlemen ended In fistic battle, and Mons. Gul- sow's face showed evidence of the fray when he applied to Judge Con- lan for a warrant authorizing Mons. Loisen's arrest on the charge of bat- tery. “hat 414 you say to provoke his attack?” the Judge inquired. “Wat deed I say? Ah, m’'sleur, wat would you say eef you see ze grat roostaires tearing away ze soil from ze rosebushes wiz zer foots? I say he maust tak away ze monstaires, an’ he laugh an’ say. ‘You call zose leetle canary birds ze monstaires? Zen we argue, an’ pouf! he heet me ze once, i | ze twice, ze tree times in ze face. | Deed 1 heet heem? Oui, m’sieur; why | not?” As the battery seemed to have been mutual, his Honor advised Mons. Gul- sow to request Mons. Loisen to vacate the premises and to report that gen- tieman’s reply. . Mary Smith, accused of having stolen a victoria valued at $1200 from the Centennial Stables, on California street, while the great fire raged, sat- isfied Judge Shortall that she mere- ly borrowed the vehicle without hav- ing asked its owner’s permission, and that after she had utilized it to con- vey her household treasures to Vallejo | she 'advertised in a public print that it would cheerfully be restored to any | person who would prove property and | pay her $50 for having saved it from the flames. The victoria’was awarded ! | to the Centennial Stables and the! | charge against Miss Smith dismissed. | L i Judge Mogan dismissedthe charge: of assault to murdet which has been - hanging over the kinky head of Clar ! Magee (colored) for several mcmum.l Suspecting his wife, who is several ! | degrees darker than himself, of main- ' taining 1llicit relationship with one Jack Welsh, a degenerate Caucasian, ' Mr. Magee shot -both of them, they survived, and while Mr. Welsh Gisappeared Mrs. Magee remained in town and swore that her spouse did {man, owned a plece of property which *|days and the necessity of serving no- | been removed. but | what was exactly proper. So for 1auk' of prosecution the case fell through. .« s . Six months ago Henry Valtren was; sentenced to half a year's imprison- | rhent by Judge Conlan on the charge | of having uttered threats against the life of his better half, and when his term expired yesterday he was re- turned to court to receive sentence on a battery charge proved at the same time by. the same complainant. But, the lady tearfully implored the Judge to dismiss the defendant. whose sup- port she now sorely needs, as she lal destitute as a result of the recent ter- restrial convulsion. And to prove that her pleading was not insincere, she grasped a hand of him whom she had S0 relentlessly incarcerated and pledged herself to be a good and duti- ful wife as long as he would be a kind and industrious husband. His Honor permitted the reunited couple to de- part without bestowing upon them the \us!omaq blessing. CROWD VIEWS A NEAR FIGHT Rival l:lutmEFirms Hava, Quarrel Over Some Real Estate. The increasing value of Fillmore- street .property caused a lively row which the police were called upon to quell yesterday noon. During the me- lee one man pulled a gun and another swung a crowbar, all to no purpose. The exciting affair took place at 1620 Fillmore street, between Post and Geary. streets, James Gibb, the well-known saloon in ante-earthquake times he had rent- ed from month to month to Frank Bishop, a carpenter. The latter had erected a story and a half frame build- ing to serve as a shop. When the con- flagration moved the center of retail trade from Market and Third streets to the western hills Bishop sublet his shop to R. Leon and W. Hoff, two drummers, who saw a chance to turn a dollar as retallers under the new con- ditions. Meanwhile Gibb leased the ground to Raphael’s, the blg clothing con- cern. Bishop went into eclipse. A careful search, lasting several days, failed to reveal his whereabouts. Leon and Hoff declined to move until legal- ly ousted. The epidemic of legal holi- tice on Bishop led Raphael's to con- clude that they could not get hold of the property until the last of July, un- less the present occupants could be thrown out bodily. It appears that Leon and Hoff are able to show noth- ing as evidence, that they are entitled to remain In possession. Raphael's decided upon dr measures and yesterday morninz men dttempted to move the dium- mers’ stock of clothing into the street. Hoff drew his rifle frgm-a shelf, but it was taken away from him. An im- mense crowd gatheréd immediately to witness. the impending slaughter and attracted the attention of the police.| Three peace guardians, who arrived! after long blowing of a whistle, sep- arated the opposing. parties, who were saying very, very harsh things to each other without really seeming to thirst for actual gore. Then the matter was left in the hands of lawyers and the spectators adjourned to the temper- ance resorts of the neighborhood to talk over what might have been. Late yesterday afternoon the Ra- phael forces secured a permit from the Board of Works to tear down Bish- op’s shop. A gang of men set at the task immediately and by the time darkness had set in the roof and por- tions of thk interior furnishings had The attorneys for Leon and Hoff went after an injunc- tion, but had not been able to secure one at nightfall. Raphael's will com- mence the preparation of the ground for a new structure today. Leon and Hoff moved their goods into the street between pieces of falling roof. et L e ic Sheerin’s - Laundry. 760 McAllister st.

The barracks built by Colonel Mor- gan Draper, at Mayor Schmitz’s order, for the homeless refugees in Golden Gate Park are already complete and partly occupied. It iz expected that| they will house “5000 persons. Each! family is allotted a space of two rooms, running from front to back of the barracks, and there are thirty- two,of these apartments on each street. Dowi the streets which sepa- rate the sheds four stoves are placed and the families on each side do all their cooking® on these. Each apart-| ment has a door and window in the front room and a window in the back room. Already the families sheltered therein appear very comfortable, and lace curtains at some of the windows| give a touch of domesticity to the rough sheds. The Government sup- plies the occupants with regular army rations and insists upon the strictest neatness within the confines of the barracks. —— First New Drug Store | To open since the fire has been opened at 399 Devisadero ltree! bi’ Ferry Drug Co. and Edward win Co.

Rowell of Armitage & Rowell, architects, will, at the invi- tation of the reconstruction commit- tee, submit at its meeting tomorrow a number of suggestions in connection with the revision of the building and fire ordinances. Rowell in an inter- view relative to the changes which he considers desirable said: “In the case of wooden frame build- ings the ordinance has up to the pres- ent time prohibited ths use of ribbon piece bearings for floor joists, prescrib- ing the use of story lengths of stud- ding with wall plate bearings. A stiff< er frame can be constructed by ex- tending the studdirfg up in one length, or when the height of the building makes that impracticable double stud and break jointing can be utilized. “The practice of stopping off the |ends of diagonal wall boarding on the floor levels should be discontinued and the boarding extended past floors con- inuously, break jointing where neces- sary above and below floors. Double floors give great lateral stiffness andl I would advocate the use of solid| bridging In place of herring bond bridging, which latter works loose from vibration and is usually not cut to the proper level, FRAME BUILDINGS SLID. “I have observed that innumerable frame buildings have slid bodily on the foundation walls. showing that the ef- ficlency of building iron anchors into the foundation and bolting down the wall plates is commonly ignored in practice, Many one and two story dwellings with high no cross partitions and having no diagonal transverse bracing in the basement could not resist a shock in that direction. “Brick chimneys should have three or four inches clear' space all around between the trimmer joists of furring and brick so that a strain may not be communicated to the chimney at the floor and roof lines due to the differ- ences in the inertia of the frame ahd masonry. The flushing ~ around the chimney at the roof should be a galvan- ized fron apron let into a raggle joint | and sufficlently spread- to oversail the! junderflushing and make it water tight without connectjon, All foundation posts and columns should be doweled at top and bottom to prevent lateral shifting from bearings. “As to steel and masonry construc- tion," I would suggest that masonry firewalls, balustrades and pediments above the roof line on street fronts should be eliminated and metal rail- ings substituted. Heavily projecting cornices' and members should be ot copper or other metal which can be rivy ) steel frames. - STRUCTURES SAFE. by I .hquake has proven that the well constructed steel skeleton struc- tures are perfectly safe to the inmates, but In future constructions of this class greater attention should be paid to the anchoring of the masonry cur- tain walls to the -steel skeleton by means of intermediate steel channel studding and framing around openings imbedded in the center of the masonry walls and riveted to the girders carry- Ing the exterior walls of each story. “The practice of laying wooden flooring over the fireproof floor arches and of using wooden doors, casings, window frames and standing finish in buildings of class A construction should be discontinued and 'metal sheathed doors and finish and even funiture substituted as in the case of the Kohl building, which suffered but little from the fire while the other so- called fireproof buildings were gutted. 1 tr@ist that these and other proposed improvements may not be overlooked in the reconstruction which is about to commence.” CORONER REFUSES TO ACCEPT VERDICY OF JURY Says Evidence Dld Not Show That South- ern Pacific Company Was Respon- sible for Accident. Coroner Walsh refused to accept the - verdict of & jury in the case of Peter Nelson, a plasterer, who was killed by a train at the corner of Twenty-third and Folsom streets. Although the evi- dence positively showed that Nelson had attempted to cross the tracks after the guards had been let uown the jury held the Southern Pacific Company responsible for the accident. The Coroner, in re. fusing to accept the verdict, stated that | the facts did not warrant it and that the company had taken all precaution in low- ering the guards.
