CLERK ON TRIAL
FOR SHORTCOMINGS
MANY WITNESSES ARE TO BE
EXAMINED
William McQill of the Health Board
Accused by Superior Officer* of
Being Incompetent and
Inattentive
Former Secretary of the Health Board
William McGill was put on trial be
fore the civil service commission last
night on charges of incompetency and
Insubordination and only two of tho
one hundred witnesses subpoenaed In
the case testified between 7:30 and 11
o'clock.
The trial was held in the council
chamber, which is the only room In the
city hall large enough to accommodate
the tribunal.
The lobby was occupied by the array
of witnesses made up mainly of city
officials, doctors and undertakers. The
defense will seek to prove by these men,
■who have much business wtth the
health department, that McGill was
competent.
Witness said he had reported the
defendant's derelictions to the board
orally on previous occasions.
Secretary Sief testified that McGill
called him down before a crowd of
people, for reporting for duty so early.
He cited cases where Maor Harper had
refused to pass on requisitions because
ithey were not made out on regular
blanks. It developed that McGill had
neglected to order them, though it
was his duty.
He cited cases and filed exhibits
•where because of carelessness and in
accuracy bins, voucheio and demands
•were mixed, lost or not made out, and
footings and entries in the books were
•wrong in one month, this was noted
by casual investigation. How the
other months entries stood, witness de
clined to say as he did not Investigate.
The prosecution will conclude tonight
after which McGill -will make his de
fense.
Errors Perplex Chief
Dr. Powers testified that McGill's
errors in the statistical tables ham
pered his work, as he could not use
them as a safe basis for calculations.
Eventually this work was given to an
other to do. McGill usually waited till
9 o'clock before reporting at the of
fice mornings, while the present In
cumbent, Sief, reports before 7 o'clock
generally in order to get much work
done before the invariable morning
rush.
Dr. Powers said he could not get
statistics he needed in order to get at
the average cost of quarantining, and
despite orders, McGill would send work
to the printers without submitting
proof sheets for approval to his su
perior.
Commissioner Haynes, who presided,
and Commissioners Young and Edel
man showed a disposition in question-
Ing Witnesses Powers and Sief, who is
secretary of the board at present, that
ordinary rules of evidence could be
modified in order to get at the real
facts and motives for certain acts.
Attorney Dockweller tried to confine
the testimony to this year's work,
though Attorney John Shenk of
City Attorney Hewitt's staff circum
vented this repression to a great ex
tent.
Although the charges were filed by
Assistant Health Officer Harris Garce
lon at the direction of the board of
health, McGill's attorneys, Messrs.
Dockweiler and Foley, sought to con
vict Health Officer Powers of Inspiring
the charges and of entertaining an
animus against the man who has
served one-half of Dr. Powers' term,
>vhich is twelve years.
Raking Up the Past
The trend of the prosecution nar
rowed down largely to the question
•whether Mayor Harper's health board
shall take into account McGill's al
leged shortcomings under the McAleer
board. Most of the evidence of the
present board so far deals with what
happened in previous years, such as
carelessness and errors in keeping
looks and records, doing politics, in
Interfering with Dr. Powers and in
protecting inspectors whose removal
for drunkenness and otherwise the de
partment sought.
In a word the department charges
that McGill is Walter Parker's go-be
tween in the department and as such
is objectionable and defies authority of
his superiors.

nesses were subpoenaed : Dr. L. M.

"The commanding officer of the Trux
ton states that the dancing pavilion of
Pine Beach refuses admittance to men
in blue jacket uniforms; at the same
time granting unqualified admittance to
soldiers in uniform. S. F. Lane, gun
ner's mate of the first class, was on the
15th inst. refused admission to the danc
ing pavilion, the manager stating that
under no circumstances would men in
blue jacket uniforms be admitted; that
the men were not objected to but their
uniform was, and that if they wished
to do in and dance other clothes would
be furnished them.

"This park is advertised as being
under the management of the Columbia
Amusement company, incorporated,
with F. Grawl president.
"As the navy is doing everything in
its power to make the exposition a suc
cess, your attention is invited to this
instance of apparent discrimination
against the service uniform and It is be
lieved that some action should be taken
thereon by withholding license or other
wise.
"If such practices be permitted the
result will be, this department feels
assured, highly prejudicial to the navy
service by causing the uniform of the
navy to be looked upon with dlsfavdr."
A copy of the letter was sent to Pres
ident Tucker of the Jamestown Exposi
tion company by Secretary Metcalf.
Both Governor Swanson and Presi
dent Tucker explained that Pine Beach
park was entirely outside of the grounds
of the exposition and that the exposition
company had no authority or control
over its management.
Mr. Tucker expressed hearty sym
pathy with the secretary's position.

Roberts Gets His Man
Up the center of the street passed the
group with Roberts keeping abreast of
them and endeavoring to spot his man
so that at the proper minute the war
rant could be served and Mazzini ar
rested without being given a chance to
make a break for liberty.
For nearly a block the party passed
when one of the women was heard to
say:
"Oh, I know why Mrs. Russell lives
out here. We are so far away from
anybody that the cope can never find
us."
"Guess it is up to me," said Roberts,
and the detective accosted the little
faker by name.
"Yes, I am L«o di Mizzinanda," said
the spookster, and he dropped back In
amazement when informed that he was
under arrest.
For fifteen minutes he stood pleading
with the officer to allow him to go to
his home, to eat his supper, to do any
thing but take him to jail, where he
was recently compelled to sit while
awaiting bail. The women pleaded with
htm, and all manner of maledictions
were called down on the head of the
man who had dared to swear to the
complaint against the fallen chief of
the spookstor.
"Forty dollars has been set as his
bail," said the detective, "and if he can
obtain that amount he will be released
from the jail."
Hopes to Get Bail
At last he decided to accompany the
detective without more words, and to
gether they boarded the car for the jnll.
On the way to the police station the
fortune teller continued to plead with
his captor and to beg for mercy. He
raved against those who were re
sponsible for his arrest and swore that
justice was not obtainable in the local
police courts.
"I did not receive justice last time,"
he said, "and besides my lawyer was a
bum one. This time it will be different
and I will do things in a different way.
I have friends who will s.tand by me.
but I cannot find them tonight. They
will get me out tomorrow and then I
will find out why I am arrested. I have
not told any fortunes and have done
nothing but preach the gospel of Budda
to my classes. Thia is persecution."
When the officer and his prisoner
reached the police station an eager
crowd, largely composed of members of
the Anti-fakers society, gathered to wit
ness the second downfall of the man
who organized the Mediums' Protective
association for the purpose of defeating
the license law, and the convicted
spookster and fake medium shrunk be
fore their eyes as he formerly shrunk
when haled before the court of justice.
His pockets were searched and 45
cents, a bunch of keys, a package of
tobacco and several cards were brought
to light. These were placed in a police
envelope and Swaml Leo di Mlzzananda
was led to his place among drunks,
vagrants and crooks in the lower tanks.
In Mazzini's pockets were found a
card of H. R. Moore, the medium ar
rested at the Ninth street raid laai
night, and the business card of Mrs.
M. E. G. Howe, associate editor of the
Occidental Mystic. According to the
card Mrs. Howe is state organizer of
the California State Spiritualists' as
sociation.
Mrs. Howe's husband is Arthur
Kowe, editor of the Mystic. The How«s
stood loyally by Mazzini during his
former trial, even after he was shown
to be a fraud.
The failure of tho Howes to repudiate
Mazzini after his exposure has been a
hard blow to their cause.
Scores of honest Spiritualists are said
to have forsaken the C. S. S. A. ban
ners on account of this action.
Moore Caught with the Goods
H. R. Moore and Cora H. Moore were
arrested at 9 o'clock at 816 West Ninth
street by Detectives Ritch and Rob
erds, the capture being made right in
the midst of one of their trumpat
seances and with a large and appre
ciative assemblage of dupes present.
A warrant had been sworn out earlier
in the evening for the arrest of Mrs.
Moore and the officers were instructed
to arrest Moore the minute it became
apparent that he was collecting money
under false and fraudulent pretenses.
The arrest was made as directed and
the fact that there were not several of
the subjects and dupes of these two
fakers sent to the receiving hospital
for repairs is wholly due to the for
bearance of the officers making the
arrests, for not only Moore himself but
several of his fanatical adherents
started a rough house which only the
coolness of the officers turned into a
rather lame and abject surrender to
the majesty of the law.
Silver an Open Sesame
When the two officers arrived at the
spook temple conducted by the Moores,
there was a goodly crowd gathered to
witness the "manifestations."
There was little difficulty experienced
in passing the outside and inside
guards that are maintained in the
house. The ring of the coin of the re
public was magic in its open sesame
qualities and Mrs. Moore greedily ab
sorbed two half dollar pieces that were
tendered her as admission fees for the
strangers.
"Mr. Wright" and "Mr. Buck" were
conducted to a nice cosy corner in a
small room in which were crowded
some twenty-five or thirty other per
sons. After a survey of the crowd had
been made and no suspicious charac
ters discovered, Moore walked to the
center of the room and deposited on
the floor three telescoping megaphones
or trumpet- of tin. They were of dif
ferent lengths and sizes and while he
was handling them he talked in a fa
miliar. straJn with all those present,
telling them that as a trumpet medium
and producer of spirits he was unex
celled except by one person and that
person had been a long time dead.
After this little preliminary talk the
people were arranged around the room
in what was seemingly regular order
and then a number of double slates of
the usual "bunk" kind were distributed
and the "members of the class" in
structed to think real hard of some
message they wished to receive from
dead and gone relatives or friends, and
in time it was stated they would get
what was coming to them.
Little Child Is Used
The lights were then turned out and
the room draped in black hangings
presented the appearance of the bot
tom of a coal mine at midnight.
"Now be very quiet," said Spook
Doctor Moore's voice, "and I think
Pansy will come and see us."
Immediately thereafter "Pansy" ar
rived.
In a squeaky and rather incoherent
voice "Pansy 1 ' announced through one
of the tin trumpets that she was on
the spot.
"How are you. Pansy," was the
greeting that went up from a dozen of
the throats of the fanatics present.
"I am very well, thank you, and oh,
so happy over here," was the response
in the squeaky voice.
Then "Pansy" went on to greet each
one present in the room by name and
inquired after their personal health and
affairs.
Even "Mr. Wright" and "Mr. Buck"
were not overlooked, and they were
Informed that there was a nice warm
place waiting for them on the other
side where "Pansy" was ready to greet
them.
Then "Pansy" disappeared and
"Lightfoot," with a frog in his throat
and a voice hoarse from long associa
tion with the booze bottle, came on tho
scene. "Lightfoot" went through the
same vocal gyrations as did "Pansy"
and then "Pansy" came back, this time
with her "nighty" on, and the people
were cautioned not to look, for she
was in undress.
Light Reveals All
Just about this time the unfeeling
and vulgar police officers flashed two
electric lights on little "Pansy" and
her "nighty" and Faker Moore was
discovered In the act of dropping ona
of the tin trumpets to the floor while
his eleven-year-old daughter disap
peared through a folding door at his
back.
The moment the denoument came
pandemonium reigned in the close
room. Women shrieked and men
cursed and gathered in a threatening
manner about the two officers. "I'll
knock your d — d block off;" "what the.
h—lh — 1 is the moaning of this?" and sev
eral like choice expressions dropped
from the lips of some of Moore's ad
herents, and two or three of them
made threatening demonstrations to
ward the officers and declared that
Moore, who had been placed under
arrest, could not bo taken out of the
room without bloodshed.
Cool, deadly determination exhib
ited by the officers soon brought the
fanatical bluffers to their senses and
they finally backed water and Moore
and his wife were taken to the police
station, where they waited from 9:30
o'clock to midnight for one of their
dupes to gather up bail money for
them. At that hour they wore released
and returned to their spook palace on
West Ninth street.
It is probable that a number of ar
rests for disturbing the peace and in
terfering with an officer may grow
out of the arrest of the Moores. as
several of their dupes interfered with
and made as hard as possible the task
of the police In executing their orders.
Moore's Bad Record
"Rev. Dr." Hugh R. Moore, the new
loader nf thp Los Angeles fake spook
sters and tho man who was arrested
last night for obtaining money by false
pretenses, formerly worked the same
game in Now York and other eastern
cities that he has been unloading on the
Los Angolos public. His work In the
east was so raw and crude that he w:is
at last forcod to leave that city and
seek new regions for gulllbles.
Los Angeles was recommended to him
as a city which contained many easy
marks and where a good live spookster
could easily build up a firm bank ac
count by bringing back the departed
from the spirit world and exhibiting
them to their friends at four bits a
throw.
Confident that this was the place he
had long sought, Moore, his wife and
child, who aid him in his spirit work,
packed their grips and came westward.
News of his coming had preceded him,
however, and no sooner was he installed
In his lodgings at 816 West Ninth street
when word was passed to the police that
an arch faker was In the city and pro
paring to carry on his trade.
Moore was recently shown up in New
York, when Mrs. Harriet E. Strickland,
one of his assistants, sued him for $25,
0 for defamation of character. This
one was one of Moore's "spirit friends,"
and in her complaint Mrs. Strickland
told of ghostly visits to coal dark
rooms, and how, garbed In a cotton
gown, she would visit the seances and
press her cold hands on the feverish
foreheads of the dupes who attended
and whisper cheering messages into
their ears.
All went well with her and she drew
down her weekly wages of $12 per
from the "Rev. Dr" until one night a
young man In the audience became
suspicious and grabbed her. Mrs.
Strlrkland lost her gown in the get
away, and she also lost her job, as
Moore found It would be impossible
for him to continue to employ her when
she had been captured while carrying
oft one of her stunts. She was dis
missed from his service, and according
to her complaint, Moore began to
spread stories detrimental to her
character.
Mrs. Strickland was willing to be a
spirit — that did not phase her. But she

objected to having stories told about
her and the suit was the result. At the
trial the inside secrets of the spirit
world were given light and several
other "spirits," among them a bar
keeper and a hired girl, gave testi

his wife were arrested in Brooklyn
about three months ago.

CORPSE IS THAT
OF A FEMALE
Remains of Former "Secretary" of
Baron Schlippenbach Exhumed
and Recognized as Nicolai
de Raylan
By Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., May 28.— Seeking
to avoid publicity by previously an
nouncing Thursday as the date, the
undertaker yesterday afternoon ex
humed the body of Nicolai de Raylan
and brought it to the parlors, wheio
the fact became known upon the ar
rival of Baron Schlippcnbach, Russian
consul of Chicago, at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, accompanied by Samuel J.
Schaeffer, attorney for Mrs. Anna de
Raylan.
The body is in a fine state of preser
vation, considering interment since
December. The face is entirely un
changed. The body is attired in a
woman's white robe and rusting in a
spotless white casket.
The inquest establishes beyond a
doubt the identity of the corpse, as
tho body of De Raylan and that .he
person was a female. In notarial ses
sion tonight nothing was brought out
contradictory to the story already
given to the world, and all facts are
corroborative.
Samuel J. Schaeffer, attorney for the
alleged v. .dow, made frequent objec
tions to questioning of witnesses. Tho
objections were noted and questions
answered. Schaeffer was not present
at the first exposure of the body, but
later in the evening viewed it in tho
undertaking parlors. Naturally he
made no admissions and - :ught to
complicate the situation as much as
possible by contentions of substitution.
So far as known here Schaeffer did
not !:now De Raylan in life.
At 4-30 o'clock Baron Schlippenbach
reached the undertaker's, and after
viewing the body a moment ..o said:
