DANIELS [ H OR When the young man who boarded at Mrs. Lucy Gilmore’s residence, 2532 Post street, hitched his horse opposite the domi- cile of Mrs.. May Sheehan, numbered 2536 on the same thoroughfave, he was guilt- less of either malicious or mischievous in- tent, for he did not even imagine that the animel would prance upon and menacé the | smoothness of the artificial stone side- walk and thus provoke Mrs. Sheehan’s ire. But that very thing happened, and it led to Mrs. Sheehan's arrest on the charge of having assaulted Mrs. Gilmore with a deadly weapon, to wit, a poker. courtroom Mrs. Gilmore's head bore ev dence.of the assault, for it was heavily swathed in bandages. Mrs. Sheehan, calm and defiant, pleaded provocation more than ample to justify her act. From the testimony it was gleaned that prior to striking Mrs. Gilmore's head with the poker Mrs. Sheehap assailed the horse with (1) a brick, (2) a saucepan, (3) a stove lifter, (4) a frying-pan, (5) the poker. Also, that when the young man, in résponse to Mrs. Gilmore's suggestion, attempted-to remove his horse, he was beaten with the saucepan by Mrs. Sheehan. The Court (to Mrs. Gilmoré)—What provocation, if any, ‘did you give the de- fendant ere she struck you with. the . Gilmore (to the Court)—None. Sheehan (to the Court)—She did, too. She told me that if I'thought so much of my old sidewalk I should take it finto my house. And she called me a re- peater. The Court (to Mrs. Sheehan)—What did she mean by that? Mrs. Sheehan (to the Court)—She meant that I repeated in the bread line and got more relief supplies than my fair share. Mrs. Gilmore (to the Court)—That was not provocation, but the truth. I saw her and her daughter eight times in the line during the day, and if you'd search her house now you'd find enough grub there to last her and her family. till Christmas. And before she hit me with the poker. she bit my hand. The Court (to Mrs. Sheehan)—What about the biting? Mrs. Sheehan (to the Court)—I didn't | bite her. She put her hand in my mouth and my teeth just closed down upon it. Charge reduced to battery and case con- tinued until today | Mrs. Sarah Waugh, resident of Hamilton | square, was. sentenced to six hours’ im- prisonment in the Park police station for [ having disturbed the peace of her co-refu- | gees by making loud and discordant noises while in a state of intoxication. ““There’s no use a-denyin’ it,” she said to Judge Conlan. “I mage a fool o' my- | self an’ that's all there's to it. A friend of mine brought me a bottle of whisky from |Oakland and 1 just sat in my little tent and drank till I was silly.” “Were you alone?” inquired his Honor. “All by my lonely,” was the answer. *l | mightn't a-bin sich a hog if I'd a-known |any of the other campers, but you know we're all strangers to each other. The fun- niest part of it was my kickin’ up a row an’ complainin’ that my tent was too small an’ 1 wanted a bigger one. Why, it's as big as any of 'em there.” And recol- lection of the incident caused her to laugh most heartily. ‘T'd suggest that you shun liquor until s rebuilt,” the Judge remarked. c t be afraid,” said Mrs, Waugh, still smiling; “no more jags for me.” Miss Bertha Kauffman’s testimony, de- livered before Police Judge Mogan, tended to cast discredit upon Harris Lindermann’s complaint that he was robbed of $380 and severely beaten by Charles Netzel and wife, Freda, while he was removing his personal belongings from 901 Post street |on that never-to-be-forgotten Wednesday | morning of last month. After showing |that Mr. Lindermann was profoundly in love with her, Miss Kauffman opined that his story of the robbery and battery was absolutely false and prompted by desire to injure Mr. Netzel, who also was pay- ing tender atentions to her, despite the fact that his wife was constantly in evi- dence to both of them { Mr. Lindermann had, in frightfully shat- tered English, recounted to the court how all the parties concerned were residents | of the Post-street tenement until two days | prior to the class A seismic upheaval, when Miss Kauffman was forced to leave to avoid hearing certain unprintable allusions to her character which Mrs. Nefzel was in habit of dropping évery time they met in the hallway. After her departure Mr. Lindermann, who had abandoned his wife {and four children in the fair land of Poland to accompany her to this-country. chided etzel for what she had done, and so was Mrs. Netzel's resentment of his rebuke that he determined to: follow his inamerata. S0 on the memorable ! morning of April 18 he was conveying some of his clothing through the hallway to a { wagon that awaited it at the deer when Mrs. Netzel cast a cape over his head and | smothered his cries while ‘Mr. Netzel re- | lieved him of $380 which he had pinned in an inside vest pocket, and also battered his head with some blunt instrument and | broke one of his ribs by kicking- it. He | did not see the Netzels do these things, | mor did he know any person who had wit- | nessed the outrage described by him, but he was sure that nobody other ‘than the Netzels would have treated him’so. When be recovered consciousness a strange wom- an, whom he had not seen since, was | bathing his battered head, and he was es- corted to the Presidia hospital by a strange young man whom he ‘never met after- ward. Miss Kauffman's story was more ‘em- | barrassing than helpful to the prosecution. | After coyly acknowledging that she had | eloped with Mr. Lindermann from Poland, she stated that he appropriated all the rgoney she earned here as a tailoress and | became jealous of Mr. Netzel because that gentleman pitied her lot and to.. her he would marry her just as soon as he could qualify himself to do &0 by divorcing his | current spouse.

However, as the complaining witness failed to appear, the case was dismissed for lack of prosecution. Loy WAITERS MAKE COMPLAINT OF UNFAIR TREATMENT Say Representations As to Employ- ment of Union Men in Recon- struction Camps Are Untrue. The waiters belonging to union No. 30 take exceptions to the- help em- ployed in reconstrucuon camps. The union endorsed the. following series of resolutions which -has been sent to The Call for puplicatien: “Whereas, Reports in the-press of this city represent that union waiters are employed in the eating camps conducted by Shattuck & Desmond, contractors, and thus, by inference, make it appear as if satisfactory con- ditions of employment prevailed in said_camps; and ‘Whereas, With thé exception of a few of the first camps established, no more union waiters are being em- ployed, nor have union wages, hours and conditions at any time been given at any of the aforesaid camps, there- fore, be it “Resolved, By Waiters’ Union, Local No. 30, in regular meeting as- sembled this 23d day of May; 1906, that we repudiate any and all such statements and reports, as not being true; that we consider them preju- dicial to our interests; and further, that we regard this and similar offers of aid and employment no better than tite offers of a large class of employ- ers, who endeavor to take advantage of our present needs and who .refuse us, though they exact for them- selves, the same conditions and prices that prevailed béfore the fire; and_be it further “‘Resolved, That we hold_that any policy on the part of employers to cut wages and make conditions of employment unendurable will prove more effective than any other to re- tard the upbuilding of the city and | the speedy resumption of normal con- ditions of trade.” The San Francisco Bricklayers' In- ternational Union No. 7, California, resumed its regular night of meet- ing Wednesday, May 23, at their headquarters, 642 Golden Gate ave- nue. There was a large attendance of the members, and much business was transacted. The union is taking steps to provide sufficient bricklayers for the rebuilding of the city,” and the very best of feeling exists be- tween it and the contractors. The committee on picnic, appqinted be- fore the quake, was ordered to com- plete arrangements for a picnic to be held on_July 1, at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael.

Handle the. Situation. J. F. Byme Tells Pres- ident Troops Are Necessary. £ -In the opigion of Mayor Schmitz, the entire force of federal troops now on dutyin “this city will be recalled within the next few weeks. The Mayor is of the opinion that the police de- partment of San Francisco is fully capable of handling the situation, be- ing in better condition than ever be- fore in the history of the municipality. The Mayor makes this statement in answer to J. F. Byrne of this city, who is- quoted in a press dispatch from | Washington as representing. to. Presis| dent Roosevelt that San Francisce is still in need of military guard and that the police department.is not equal to- the situation that .confronts it at{ the present time. nant that' Byrne should .make:any such statement and is surprised that the President entertained .it at all. The following is- the -dispatch from Washington: A “WASHINGTON, May 25.—J. F. Byrne, of San Francisco,. was_intro- duced to President. Roosevelt by n. | atop Flint of California today. .. o\ ‘Mr Byrne is here to.urge the Pres: ident and Secretary of War to permit the United States soldiers to continue to perform guard duty in San Fran: oisco. He told the President that thé oresence of the soldiers, in the. judg- ment of the people of the city, was an absolute necess: and expressed the hope that they would not be removed for the present. He told the Presi- dent that, in the circumstance, jt was practically impossible for the’ regular police to handle the situation and properly guard. the city. The Presi- dent assured Mr. Byrne that if the people of San Francisco wanted' the soldiers to remain on duty there they would be permitted to continue there for at least a month or more.” “I think that if Byrne made any such statement to President Roosevelt he is putting this city in a wrong light,” said the Mayor yesterday. “He cer- tainly acted without any authority from me or any one else in this city. No one gave him such a commission, for the simple reason that no such representative to the President was necessary. “I ‘know as -well as every one else, does that the San Francisco police department can handle the situation here without the aid of any troops; We. have.succeeded in getting every- thing down to a system now and there- fore things are very much easier. Chief Dinan has done and is still do- ing noble work with his men. The department is fully equipped now, bet- ter in fact than it ever was before. “Now I do not want-to intimate that the troops did not do their share of the work. They performed- theit duties in a manner to bring out the praise of the people. We neéded them badly a few weeks ago, but that time is now passed and we can get along very nicely with our police depart- ment. “I have had an understanding with General Greely that the troops are to be withdrawn when in my opinion such action is advisable. - “I believe that we can 'withdraw them right now, though I do mot in- tend to do this for a while yet. It is understood between General Greely and myself that the troops will be taken away by the fir§t of July at the latest and I will probably havé them withdrawn long before that time if the present order of things continues.”. Chief of Police Dinan was also in- dignant that Byrne should have made such a statement to the President.| “The police department has been com- mended on all sides for its efficient work,” said the Chief, “and I do noit sée how Byrne or any one else could have done such a. thing. We have been able to handle the situation without any trouble or inconvenience. I will admit the military gave us grand support.and we will not forget it. But the strenuous times are passed and we can look out for the welfare of the city from now on without out- side aid.” Secretary Taft has instructed Major Genera¥ Greely, in command of the Pacific Division, to make arrangements to re- tain the military forces in charge of the relief work in San Francisco until July 1 if such action be necessary. — e SECURES TWO GREAT TENTS IN WHICH TO GIVE PLAYS Bishop-Howell-Dodge ' Company 'Plans to Open on the Central Park Prop-. erty.

Platt Urges That Geary Road Be Left to Private Owners. Horace G.

According to Platt the cjty is in need of new buildings and the money voted to equip the Geary street road should be devoted to what he regards as of greater im- portance. Regarding the situation, | Platt said: “The city has voted the sum of $350,000 to build and maintain the Geary street railroad as a conduit system. Now it will be utterly im- possible ‘for the city to construct an overhead trolley system there for the: simple reason that the money was voted for a conduit system and it will have to be that or nothing. The terms of the issu¢ will have to be lived up to if the city wants to oper- ate the road. “It will be out of the question’ for | the city to levy an additional tax.-The | taxpayers cannot stand any such | pressuré at the present time. = They | have lost everything by the fire and | therefore an additional tax would mean sure ruin to many of them. | “At the present time the city haa! not a roof over its head. It needs a | new city hail, hall of justice, county jail, hall of records, schoolhouses and | other public buildings too numerous to mention. - Now this money that has been voted for the Geary- street road should be devoted toward these buildings, as they are needed immedi- ately and no time should be lost in their construction. “The city has gotten along for, a great many years without an under- ground electric system - of its own. There is no/ reason why it cannot prosper in the future under the same conditions. Private capital can very well rebuild and maintain the Geary street road. But private capital can- not and will not reconstruct our pub- lic buildings. Therefore, I think it behooves the city to rebuild its lost structures with a portion of the money appropriated for the road and let private capital attend to it.” g St sl Tawemy gy LETTERS LYING AT OAKLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Unclaimed Missives Will Be l!uided to Their Owners if- Application The following letters await owners at the Chamber of Commerce, Twelfth and Franklin streets, Qakland: Mikolo - Antunovich, * Arthur Boetner, A.

The other Witnesses in the case, eight in number. will be brought before the District Attor~ ney in his office ,this afternoon at 3 ' clock. 0%:: prosecution will have considerable difficulty in proving the corpus delicti. So far no person has been found who can testify positively that the man whom De icke admits having shot Is dead. Some they are certain that he was left cold death, but they can give no testimony that they examinéd the corpse. No one of medical knowledge has been found who ascertained it death had taken place. It is stated by some of the witnesses that a man representing himself to be a naval surgeon looked at the body, but did not examine it. j Many of the witnesses have seen dead bodies and are certain that the unknown man who was shot was dead two hours after the shooting, but there is a question whether a court would admit as expert tes- timony the views of the several laymen. In the absence of the body of the dead man the District Attorney will have & strong defense to work against. B The corpus delicti, as defined by District Attorney Langdon, is the “essence of the crime.” He said yesterday that it was a mooted question whether the corpus. de- licti could be shown without the produc- tion of the body of the deceased. “It will be an interesting case,” he said. “I have no doubt but that we will be able to prove that the John Doe in this particular case is dead. We are 3t work now on the cor- pus delicti end of the case. The meaning of corpus delicti has been construéd dif- ferently in different cases. Still, I take it to mean the essence of a crime, and do not believe that it will be necessary to produce the body of the deceased to prove that a crime was committed.” In the case of Luetgert, the Chicago sausage manufacturer, who was convicted of murder, the corpus delicti was shown by bits of bone and rings of the victim found in the great vats of the factory. Luetgert was hanged for his crime. A peculiar case confronts District Attor- ney Langdon, one that will arouse much interest among the practitioners of Wi charge of manslaughter was made merely for holding the defendant. District Attor- ney Langdon says that he does not know who authorized the charge of manslaugh- ter, but states that any charge on which the man could be held until trial would suffice. The ordinary method pursued to prevent the escape of a defendant is to place the same en detinue, pending the consideration of the charge. The police do not say why they did not pursue the regular and safe method in booking Den- icke. Aside from the witnesses, most of whom term the shooting as “cold-blooded mur- der;” no expression of opinion has comae from those connected with the case, offi- cially or otherwise. District Attorney | Langdon will reserve his opinion until he has finished the examination of all of the witnesses. Then the detectives who have been working on the case will be asked to swear to a complaint. A rigorous search will be made for othee witnesses. The Prosecuting Attorney is anxious to ascertain the whereabouts of the alleged drunken sailor who precipi= tated the killing of the unknown; the al- leged naval surgeon who is said to have attended the deceased and the army or militia officers who placed under arrest, at the instance of Andrew Sbarboro and P. C. Rossi of the Italian-Swiss Colony, the alleged drunken sailor who is said to hava attempted to stab the deceased. Detectives Hammil and Dow will conduct the inves- tigation for the poliee. The witnesses examined yesterday were’ Andrew Sbarboro, P. C. Rossi, E. w! and J. S. Daley of 1824 Page street, watchman for the Pacific Mail Steamsh. Company. Their stories were the same as have already been published in The Call. A Boon to Workmen. A large shipment of mechanics” tools has arrived by Welll—l'll}b Express from various Eastern points.
