IS PRINCE
OF MINIG
OPERATORS
Sensation Caused by the
Arrival of Frank L.
Gardner.
HIS PRESENCE WAS A SECRET.
Barnato's Adviser Has Been Busy
Examining Mines on the
Mother Lode.
GUEST OF A FEW BIG FimflEßS.
Mr. Gardner Is Worth Between $30,
--000,000 and $40,000,000, and Is
Known as ''The Kector."
Frank L. Gardner of London, one of tbe
most distinguished and wealthiest mining
engineers in the world, the adviser for
the late Barney Barnato and other great
mining kings, has been in San Francisco
and vicinity for the past two weeks.
He came to examine into the mines and
ascertain the opportunities for making in
vestments. He has visited the mother
lode, and also examined some of the mines
of Placer County and other places in a
preliminary way. He is favorably im
pressed with what he saw.
Mr. Gardner's visit here has been kept a
profound secret. He has not registered at
any hotel, although he has had rooms at
tho Palace for the reception of friends
who were aware of his presence.
His coming has been a sensation in the
inner circles among financiers and big
mining men. Mr. Gardner left on the
Central Pacific overland for New York
last night, but he is expected to return
here soon, and will probably take up some
very important mining properties.
He met W. H. Crocker, Charles D. Lane,
Alvinza Hayward, Joseph D. Redding
and other well-known people while here.
He also went with Mr. Hayward to
Nevada for a short time, lt has been
learned that while here he was the guest
of J. H. Doolittle of the Gould and Doo
little mine at his residence, Page and
Shrader streets. His family, consisting of
his wife, niece and sister-in-law, besides a
retinue of servants, were with him.
An effort has been made to keep Mr.
Gardner's visit from being known. He
desired it himself, and his wishes have
been strictly observed. However, these
details were gathered yesterday. Joe
Redding met him abroad and since his
arrival here has been with him a great
deal.
Mr. Gardner has long been known as
""the rector" because of his quaint ways
a.;id abstemious habits. It is said he
sr.ands higher in Europe than any other
adviser on all financial matters.
lie now wants to buy some big Califor
nia mines, and it was because of this that
he visited the mining regions in person.
He is worth from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000.
It was Mr. Gardner who laid the ground
work of all the great deals for the Bar
natos. He was their adviser, and, it is
said, carried them through. He is about
44 years of age, with dark hair and mus
tache, and has a quiet manner.
Mr. Gardner is one of the heaviest own
ers in the leading mines at Johannesburg,
"Kimberly, Perth, " Coolgardie and else
where, owning, as is stated, all over the
world in gold, diamond and silver prop
erties. He is a practical mining man,
highly educated in all the branches of the
business. He is an American, too, but
for many years has made his headquar
ters in London.
He is now on his way to Paris, and on
reaching New YorK will take a steamer of
one of the French lines .for that city. He
will return here in the fall. >>It is expected
that some very large mining transactions
will be made through him, affecting Cali
fornia and bringing much money to the
State.

EVICTED TWO
DOZEN TIMES
George Zimmerman, an Ex
pressman, Will Not
Pay Rent.
Deputy Sheriffs Know His Fur
niture as Well as Their
Own.
How a Wily and Persistent Mover
Manages to Get Into the Houses
of Others.
George Zimmerman, a drayman of this
City, enjoys the unique distinction of hav
ing been evicted from dwellings he has
occupied more than any man the Sheriff's
orhce has yet had to deal with.
During the past six years he has been
put out of at least two dozen houses for
which he has refused to pay rent and it
has come to such a pass .that he is on the
blacklist of several real estate offices and
cannot rent a dwelling from them at any
price.
Zimmerman seems to rather enjoy be
ing put out of the houses that he pre
empts, and smilingly refuses to move or
pay rent when the agent of the house he
happens to be in informs him that be
must take either alternative.
According to the deputies of the Sher
iff's office, who have evicted him so many
times that they have almost lost count of
the number, the drayman has several
methods of getting into houses before his
identity is discovered. When his house-
hold effects have been carried into the
street by perspiring deputies, he has his
wagons ready and loads them in a few
moments. Then he starts driving the
stuff himself until he locales a house
which strikes his fancy. Usually the key
is at some corner grocery, and he sends
one of his children in to get it on the
plea that the mother is waiting at the
house to examine it.
The wagons are waiting at some loca
tion around the corner and out of sight,
and the key once in his possession, it takes
the drayman but a few moments to un
load his effects and place them where only
a legal process can get him out. On a few
occasions Zimmerman has called for the
key himself, saving that his wife is pleased
with the outward appearance of the dwell
ing and wants to see the interior. The
result is almost invariably the same.
Zimmerman gets possession, the rent Is
not forthcoming, and the Sheriff is called
upon to perform his periodical duty.
During Sheriff Laumeister's adminis
tration Zimmerman was evicted eighteen
times, and since Sheriff Whelan took the
reins tlie deputies have the Zimmerman
belongings so often that they know every
individual piece as well as they do their
own. W
Yesterday the drayman was assisted out
of the house at 33 East avenue, and some
time ago was compelled to vacate the
premises at 1315 San Jose avenue. In
December, 1895, he was evicted Irom 10
Wool street.
It is the usual custom to grant those
I who are evicted a few days in which to
j find new quarters, but Zimmerman has
given so much annoyance in this line that
he is to be ejected summarily in future, as
[ he was under other administrations.
FOLLY OF A
YOUNG GIRL
Hattie Heritage Thought She
Could Not Live With-
out Her Friend.
She Swallowed a Dose of Arsenic
and It Is Doubtful if She
Will Recover.
Hattie Heritage, a pretty girl 15 years
old, attempted to commit suicide Inst
evening at her parents' residence, 119 Sil
ver street, by swallowing a dose of arsenic.
On April 4 the girl's constant com
panion and friend, Emily Griffiths, com
mitted suicide in the name maimer. Her
lover, James Strice, had decided to go to
Los Angeles and Emily met him by ap
pointment on the night before he was to
leave at Fourth and Harrison streets. She
pleaded with him not to go away and
leave her and when she could not shake
his resolution she told him she had before
leaving her home to keep the appoint
ment put some arsenic in a bottleiul of
soda water and had swallowed it.
■ Sirice rushed her to the Receiving Hos
pital and everything possible was done
for her, but the poison had already taken
effect and she died.
The unexpected death of her companion
made Hattie despondent and she was con
stantly grieving at her loss. Almost
every day she visited her grave, carrying
with her a bunch of flowers. She would
remain beside the grave for hours, weep
ing and bewailing her loss.
She told her parents and friends that
she could not live without Emily. She
had been a particularly bright and cheer
ful girl before her friend's death, and it
was hoped that time would bring her
round again.
During the absence of her parents last
evening Hattie went to a corner grocery
and bought a box of rough on rats and a
bottle of soda water. She went home, and
emptying the soda water into a tumbler
poured in, nearly ail the box of arsenic
and swallowed the contents.
After swallowing the poison she became
remorse-stricken, and rushing out of the
house, met a brother of Emily Griffiths
and told bim she bad taken poison. She
begged him to take her to a doctor, but he
ran till he came across a policeman, who
summoned the patrol-wagon, and she
was driven to the Receiving Hospital.
Dr. Thompson at once applied the usual
remedies, and it is possible that the, girl
may recover.

DESPERATE
MEASURES
INVOKED
Writ to Restrain Judge
Campbell From Forfeit
ing Lawrence's Bail.
ISSUED IX JUDGE SEAWELL'S COURT
Examiner Defendants Are Scam
pering to the Woods of
British Columbia.
HEARST IS lEEPLIG IS THE DARK
Glaus Spreckels Firm in His Purpose
to Corral the Whole Herd
of Libelers.
A. M. Lawrence, one of the Examiner
defendants in the Claus Spreckels libel
suits, was arrested last -Wednesday on a
charge of criminal libel and was before
the Police Court yesterday. Charles S.
Aiken, for whom a warrant was sworn
out, has skipped, and it is said that he is
in British Columbia or or. his way there.
Livernas'i started for the British Pos
sessions shortly after the first suit was in
stituted by Mr. Spreckels. Livernasb is
supposed to have been in some position of
authority about the Examiner office J when
Mr. Spreckels was accused of holding up
the stockholders of the Watsonvilie Sugar
Company. Hearst is still under cover in
New York, and using every precaution to
keep out of sight. Williams is commonly
supposed to hold a power of attorney
from the absent Hearst, but on tbe advice
of counsel refused to answer a question
on that point before Notary Craig. When
committed for contempt ior refusal to an
swer the question, Dick Whelan, tbe Sher
iff, and Pat Reddy, the Sheriff's lawyer,
decided that a notary had no power to
punish for contempt. Williams was not
arrested for criminal libel. It is said that
he agreed with the Examiner lawyers that
Hearst ought to admit service and lace
the music.
The general break of the defendants for
cover may delay Claus Spreckels in his
purpose to bring Hearst to the bar of jus
tice, but the plaintiff, in these cases has
entered the contest with a firm determina
tion to bring the responsible man of the
concern which Lawrence is supposed to
represent to a reckoning.
The attention of the interior press of
this State is called to this spectacle in
modern metropolitan journalism. Here
is the Examiner boasting every day that
it is a fearless exponent of journalism,
and yet when it is put to the test before
the law no man can be found in the estab
lishment witling to acknowledge responsi
bility lor anything that is printed in the
paper.* The great fighters for the people
break for British Columbia timber as soon
as a determined man goes after the jour
nal for proper redress in court.
The sentiment of nine-tenths of the peo
ple of San Francisco as expressed in daily
comment is that Hearst lias shown him
self to be a weakling. Alter all the lury
and bravado of independent and fearless
journalism he hides behind a residence
recently acquired in New York to shield
bimseli. He makes a'great show ol bold
ness when the adversary is some weak,
broken-down politician or workingman
without influence, means or capacity to
resist attack, but as on as a resolute
man is encountered who will stand neither
bluffing nor evasion the boasteJ expounder
of tearless journalism cannot be found.
He has fallen so low in the estimation of
newspaper people that his own employes
are ashamed of his course. If punish
ment lor contempt was universal his own
lawyers would be punished for contempt
of their client.
Andrew M. Lawrence was to have been
arraigned yesterday morning before Po
lice Jud^e Campbell.
Just as the wily hireling of W. R.
Hearst did when arraigned before the last
Legislature, and as he has done in the
Federal courts, he wriggled and dodged
the i«sue. refusing to appear and answer
to the crime of which he is accused.
With the assistance of three attorneys
and one Superior Judge Andrew M. Law
rence managed to avoid doing what other
men in this community have been com
pelled to do ever since the Police Courts
have been established. ', Charged with a
misdemeanor, he refused to obey a com
mitting magistrate's order, and has suc
ceeded to that extent at least that he has
obtained a delay by clogging up the
records. ■'."•" /
When the case was called in the morn
ing Attorney Barnes stated that he did
not deem it necessary to have Lawrence
present, and he, as counsel, would plead
for Mm.
This was objected to by Attorney Grove
L. Johnson, representing the people of
the State. He argued that the law re
quired the delendant to plead in person at
his arraignment bufore the Police Court.
General Barnes quoted one authority
showing that his position was sustained,
but Attorney Johnson pointed out to the
court that the > authority was only appli
cable to cases in the Superior Court.
The case went over until 2 p. m., but
Lawrence was not then present.
"1 desire to acquit General Barnes of
any ulterior motives," stated Attorney
Johnson addressing the court, "but it is
my belief that the line being pursued is a
cunning attempt to take this matter out
of the jurisdiction of both this and the
Superior Court.
'■"'."'lf the delendant be not present for ar
raignment and has no opportunity in per
son to examine witnesses or cross-exam-
me them, as is his privilege according to
the statutes, and he be held over to he
tried before the Superior Court, the plea
for a dismissal there will be made with
all legal right that the delendant was not
permitted to cross-examine witnesses, and
in lact was not present before the commit
ting magistrate at the time of the ar
raignment. This would be sufficient cause
to have the case thrown out of court.
"Who and what is this defendant A. M.
Lawrence -that he should be treated with
any more consideration; than any other
man accused of a public offense?"
Attorney Johnson cited the case of
Fitch and Pickering, who were arraigned
some years ago in the Police Court before
the Hon. David Louderback. The speaker
represented the defendants and pleaded
that it was unnecessary to have them pres
ent. Judge Louderback took a different
view of the matter, and thereafter the de
fendants were in court every day of t»ie
examination. ; ~
Ex-Judge'Louderback, who is of coun
sellor Theodore Figel, sat next to Attor
ney Johnson as the latter was " recalling
the proceedings of years gone - by, and
unconsciously nodded : his head >in
acquiticance, Judge -Campbell observing
the nodding and gently smiling mean
while. :.;- '■• v;\
"Call Andrew Iff. Lawrence," ordered
Judee Campbell, addressing the bailiff.
"One moment!" exclaimed Attorney
Ciunie. "Before you call him I would like
to be heard in this matter." I- V
"Call Andrew M. Lawrence first, Mr.
Bailiff, and I will hear you afterward."
Lawrence made no response, and Ciunie
stated that of course the defendant would
be produced if the court so desired. : "I
am here as one of counsel with Gen
eral Barnes and Mr. McEnerney. T. c
latter is momentarily detained in another
court and he would like to be heard in this
matter. "1 would ask, then, that the case
be continued over until to-morrow morn
ing at 9 or 10 o'clock"
"I will Ire busy Tit that time myself."
said the court. "I will let the matter
stand for an hour. At 3:3o»o'ciock this
afternoon you must have (ha defendant in
court or I shall declare his Loud forfeited
and shall have to send and pet him."
At the appointed hour Attorney Ciunie
came into court without Lawrence, but
with an order issued by Superior Judge
Seawell restraining Judge Campbell from
issuing a bench-warrant for the arrest of
Liwrence and from forfeiting the bond.
The oraer likewise set the hearing on that
particular bond and warrant question for
Aueust 23 at it) a. m. before the Superior
Court.
"Under the circumstances," stated
Judge Campbell, "I do not very well see
how 1 can proceed with the hearing of the
case. lam firmly convinced that lam
riirbt In law io insist on the defendant be
ing present in person at bin arraignment,
but I can do nothing to brine him here or
in the matter of lorfeiting his bond in the
face of that restraining order. What do
yor. think of it, Mr. Johnson?"
"Your Honor," answered counsel, "that
order is not worlh the paper it is written
on, and I, for one, as counsel, would go on
with the case as if it had not been is
sued." ';■•'.'
Judge Campbell caused some merri
ment by asking the attorney:
"And will you go to jail for me if Ido
proceed?" ' - '/'' ,:.'j
"-Mr. Barnes and I are ready to goon
with the case, as we proposed to do from
the start, without the presence of Mr. Law
rence," said Ciunie.
To this Attorney Johnson objected, and
the case was set for Saturday morning, to
be reset then if it were not possible to
have Judge Seawell shorten the period
when the hearing is to be had in the Su
perior Court.
Immediately after this movement on
the part ol Lawrence's counsel to delay
the proceedings and to shield the de
fendant from the gaze of Police Court
spectators Grove L. Johnson filed a peti
tion, as follows, to set aside the order of
prohibition:
In the Superior Court of the City and County
of San Francisco, State of California.
Andrew M. Lawrence, petitioner and plain
tiff, vs. J. A. Campbell as Judge of the Police
Court of the City and County of San Francisco,
delendant and respondent.
You and each of you will please take notice
that on Monday, the 16th day of August, 1897,
at the opening of court on that day at 10 a. m.,
or as soon thereafter as counsel can. be heard,
the above-named defendant and respondent
will move this honorable court and Hon. J. M.
Seawell, presiding Judge and Judge thereof,
at the courtroom of said court. Department 1,
in the new City Kail, San Francisco, < alifor
nia. to dissolve, vacate, set aside and dismiss
the writ of prohibition herein issued by the
said court on the 12ih day of August, 1897, on
the ground that the same was Improperly, im
p-ovidently and illegally Issued, and that the
affidavit and petition upon which the same
wis issued did not and does not state facts
sufficient to authorize the issuance of said
writ or any writ of prohibition, or to constitute
any cause of action against this defendant
respondent, and upon the hearing of this
motion defendant and respondent will rely
upon all the papers on file in his action and
proceeding and oral and documentary evi
dence then and there to be produced.
Dated san Francisco, August 12, 1897.
J. A. Spiuetti and Johnson, Linlorth <fc
WhitaKer, attorneys for defendant and re
spondent, to Andrew M. Lawrence, peti
tioner and plaintiff, and W. H. L. Barnes,
Garret W. McEnerney and A. J. Ciunie, at
torneys for said petitioner aud plaintiff.
This proceeding, instituted in Judge
Sea well's court to prevent a forfeiture of
Lawrence's bail in the Police Court, may
strike lawyers as well as laymen as some
what extraordinary, but it must be borne
in mind that the Examiner defendants
are in a desperate situation. It is pos
sible that Judge Seawell was misled by a
one-sided statement of the case. No
reason seems to have been shown why an
Examiner defendant, charged with having
committed a crime, should not appear in
court just the same as any other offender.
The facts in the case will be presented in
full when the petition for vacating the
order of prohibition comes up next Mon
day. It is safe to predict that Lawrence
will be compelled to attend the sessions of
the Police Court before the trial is finished
or suffer a forfeiture of his bond.
The arrest of ..Lawrence is merely an in
cident of the proceedings instituted by
Claus Spreckels. Lawrence is only a
subordinate who is supposed to have some
authority derived from Hearst to repre
sent the absent proprietor. He was
asked some questions before Notary Craig
which he declined to answer, and he will
be a«ked other questions before the same
notary. The Sheriff may be called upon
again to discharge his duty, and the pub
lic will be invited to see what course he
will pursue.
It is well understood that Hearst will
pull every string that can be reached to
delay the proceedings, for he Knows by
this time that ultimately he must re
spond. Tricks of the law, evasions and
scampering out of town to dodge service
of summons will he common enough be
fore the trial is ended. Every shifty dodge
to evade responsibility in court weakens
Hearst in the estimation of the com
munity and deprives his paper of influ
ence. BEBSHfi WsSJmS ■••■-"-'■ -

(Columbian Woolen Mills), 541 Market st. 1
on page 12 of your Issue of August 11, 1897,
headed "tVhelan Refuses to Obey," in which
1 rind the following: «
"The fact that Reddy, Campbell & Meisou in
the Welnstock vs. Mcidatchy libel suit ad
vanced the doctrine that a notary had power
to punish witnesses for contempt shows that
the firm, having decided both ways, is bound,
to be right in one decision at least, ana is,
therefore, not surprising.
"In view of the opinion which Redly,
Campbell & Metson rendered to the Bneriff,
and which is published herewith, it is inter
esting to note the decision rendered by the
Superior Court of Sacramento County in the
Weinstock - McCluichy case. In that suit
this law firm, now the adviserof the Sheriff of
San Francisco, was the counsel of record for
the plaintiff, McClatchy. Elaborate argument
was made to convince the court that the
notary had power to punish for contempt, and
the court, hearing the argument and consider
ing the numerous authorities presented, ren
dered this decision:
" 'I then must conclude, from the high au
thority given, that notaries have power under
our statutes to punish for contempt a witness
who refuses to answer a question proper to be
asked.'
"The lawyers employed to advise the Sheriff
were not led into ambush. The brief which
Johnson. Liuforili & Whitaker handed over to
Reddy, Carupoell &■ Mctson contained a cita
tion of the Sacramento case, and Mr. Ready
knew when he advised the Sheriff that nota
ries had no power to punish for contempt that
a decision to the contrary had been rendered
in a case in which his firm was counsel of
record and in which a client of the firm
gained the paint ut issue-"
Reddy, Campbell & Mctson were of counsel
in that case. The briefs made In this office
and sent to Messrs. Brunei & Bruner, attor
neys lor defendants, show the exact position
taken by our firm, and no intimation or sug
gestion was ever made in any of these briefs
that the notary hud power to punish for con
tempt. Reddy. Campbell it Stetson did not
appear before tho court on the argument of
the demurrer, it having been argued by El
wood Bruner. What position he may have
taken I do not know; but this I do know, that
we have never entertained and never ad
vanced any such opinion to any one, ami it is
utterly untrue that Reddy, Campbell <t Met
son, or myself, have "decided both ways," or
have rendered any opinion on the subject
other than that submitted to the Sheriff. It
Is true that I knew of the decision rendered
by Judge Johnson in Sacramento, but with all
the respect 1 entertain for the learning and
ability of that gentleman, I differ from him
on the law in question.
Mr. Hiram W. Johnson knows that no mem
ber of the firm of Reddy, Campbell & Mctson
appeared or made any oral argument on the
demurrer, and if there were any written ar
guments submitted he knows what they are,
as he was one of the attorneys 'or the plaintiff
Weinatoek in the case.
Inasmuch as the article referred to places
the firm of Reddy. Campbe.l A Metson and
myself in a false position belore the public
and : tends to injure us professionally and
otherwise I hope you will, as a matter of jus
tice, publish this letter. Yours respectfully,

CUPID WINS AT SEA.
Attorney Titus and Miss Mabel
Love Marry in a
-Tug.
A Midnight Ceremony Defeats the
Legal Limit of Twelve
Months.
Attorney Frank Titus and Miss Mabel
Love were married at sea early Wednes
day morning, on the tug Amy.
The wedding party, which consisted of
a friend of the bride and a friend of the
groom, were driven hurriedly from the
Cafe Zinkand about midnight Tuesday, to
the tug, which lav at the Folsom-street
wharf. In a few minutes, the little craft
was steaming through the Golden Gate,
and once outside the Heads the ceremony
was soon over.
The reason the couple were married in
that way was, they say, to make the cere
mony legal. Mr. Titus was divorced but
a few months ago, and the law makes it
illegal for a divorced person to marry in
the State before a year after the granting
of a divorce.
As in other States where the law has
been tested, the way to avoid the law is to
go to some sister State whore there is no
such law, or, as in this case, be married
at sea. It has been given as the opinion
of many good lawyers that the marriage
is perfectly valid. The bride is the daugh
ter of Mrs. Josephine Love, a well-Known
teacher in the Denman Grammar School.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, she
j said:
"The engagement of my daughter to
! Mr. Titus has been known to me for sev
| eral months. . They would have been
married long ago but for the fact that Mr.
Titus is a divorced man, and the law, as
you know, stood in the way of their being
married in this State before the expira
tion of a year from the time of his separa
tion.
• "We, that is Mr. Titus, his father, my
daughter and myself, had arranged for a
trip to Reno, where the ceremony could
be performed, but it would seem that the
young couple were too impatient and took
the quicker although less pleasant means
of marrying.
"I regret that they did so, but now that
it is done I am glad to extend to them my
blessing, and I am certain that Mr. Titus'
father entertains the same feelings." ' -[•'}

Attorney William B. Treadwell made his ar
gument In the Jacob Z. Davis will contest yes
terday. After his review Of the testimony,
Judge Coffey announced that he would listen
to Attorney J. C. Campbell to-day and it whs
understood that Mr. Knight and Mr. Hoggerty
would close the argument for the contestants
to-morrow. On Monday, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, the cnarge of the court will be de

xhe man worked irTan Ohio coal mine, and this is the story he
told : " For some years past I have been employed under mother
earth, from one and a half to 'two -miles from the mouth of the mine,
digging coat The great distance under the hills makes it rmpossiblttj
for me to get pure air, which is forced to us by the aid of great fans.
During breaks in machinery the air would become bad, causing first
great pains in my head, dizziness and fainting. This continued until
next was pains in stomach, indigestion and dyspepsia;- Working hard .
in the mines I naturally was a hearty eater until at last I had dyspep- ■'
sia so bad I suffered terrible. The doctor prescribed for me, but I
only got worse. I took ) several kinds of medicine. I >• saw •Ripana
Tabules advertised and going to the drug store bought some. la
three days I was a new man, my head is clear, stomach well, no dys-
peD»iajS These Ripans Tabttles did it." '
