United Railroads as an attorney, hav
ing become a full fledged lawyer af

brought to the attention of the Com
missioners and Sheehan was ordered
several days ago to report to Chief
Wittman for duty, but he has failed
to do so.
Charges have be«n filed with the
Police Commissioners against James
F. Sheehan for insubordination, and
they will be heard at the meeting of
the board to-night.
Sheehan was retired by the pension

under one of the seats on the lower
deck of the ferry-boat while they went

Joseph Meyer went into a Chinese
restaurant on Clay street Saturday
night and ordered a repast. It con
sisted of chicken, . duck, $12 worth of
ham and eggs, frijoles and three pieces
of hot mince pie. The magnificence of
the order caused the chink to conclude
that at last he was famous and he
saw golden streams and fashionable
people pouring into his narrow eating
house.
After Meyer had dined he sat back
and rolled a cigarette. He had dined
and was impervious to fate. When
he arose to eo the Chinaman gently
questioned him about compensation.
For reDly Meyer pushed the muzzle of
a revolver in front of. the Chinaman's
nose at such an angle that the slant
ing eyes of the Oriental almost became
perpendicular in trying to realize the
awful possibilities of eternity contained
in that narrow barrel.
But when Meyer had departed, leav
ing the score unpaid: the Chinaman
blew a police whistle and secured the
aid of a policeman to whom alt guns
looked alike. The accused man was
before Judge Conlan yesterday and was
fined ?50, which it is understood he will
pay.
.Judge Conlan tame to the same de
cision and the little chaps will have to
learn from Judge Murasky the full
enormity of the offense of staying up
late. There have also been Instruc
tions from the Juevnile Court that the
police are to arrest any children, of
school age who are engaged in selling
papers or other commodities on the
streets during the hours when they
should be in school. Beware, children!
•The bogie man'll git you ef you don't
watch out."
Under instructions from Superior
Judge Murasky the police are taking
into custody all of the little boys who
vend sum "and other merchandise on
the streets after S o'clock, thus violat
ing the curfew ordinance. Judge Mo
gan had twelve of the kids before him
yesterday and Judge Conlan dealt with
•eight of the cases. '"Curfew must not
ring to-day," said Judge Mogan. as he
eyed the gran? of unwashed Italian
kid?. "I think this is a matter for
the Juvenile Court."
"I find that you are a traveler in
three distinct senses. You were com
ing from Tonopah; you intended to re
turn to Tonopah on the first train and

Defendant is discharged."
Judge Cabaniss, • always a Daniel
come to judgment, found plenty of ex
cuses for Charles Johnson, a Tonopah
miner, who appeared before him yes
terday on a. charge of carrying con
cealed weapons. Johnson averred, a art
his demeanor spoke truth, that he had
come on a hurried business trip from
the desert mining camp, where a heavy
gun is as much of a garment as a pair
of socks. He intended to catch the next
train to the waterless, gold-banded bar
rens of the Sagebrush State, but chance
acquaintances caused him to overlook
the time limit.
When he sought the tram It had gone
and would not come back for him. So
he made one glad night of. it in the
city. During his wanderings he met
some kings of evil with whom he be
came embroiled. They rudely threw
him into a rathskeller at Geary and
Market streets and his trusty revolver
popped from its hidden depths. A po
liceman came along and arrested John

Coroner Leland held an inquest yes
terday morning on the body of Giu
seppi Martini, a divekeeper ..t S23 Pa
ci.lc street, who was shot and killed on
January 6 by Edward Richards. The
jury returned a verdict of justifiable
homicide.
The evidence was to the effect that
Richards and a depraved female
habitue of the dive were drinktns lager
beer together, a bottle being: ordered at
a time, the charge for each bottle being
GO cents as against the regulation price
of 10 cents in the groceries.
A dispute arcse between Richard3
and Martini respecting the payment for
one bottle of beer. Richard3 claiming
that he had already paid 50 cents for
it and Martini insisting that he had
not paid anything. Finally Richards
declared that he did not purpose to
pay again and that he was being im
posed upon. Martini thereupon resort
ed to the usual argument of the dive
keepers—a police club— and was ad
vancing toward Richards with the
weapon raised. Richards warned him
to keep back, and Martini continuing
to advance after the second warning.
Richards fired. iF- f -',s .;¦-?¦
' In rendering their verdict the jurors
said: '•We believe from the testimony
in the case that the said Edward Rich
ards feared great bodily injury and
fired the sliot in self-defense: and we
furthermore believe it to be a case of
justiflable homicide."
Richards* preliminary examination
began before Police Judge Mogan yes
terday. Two witnesses were examined.
One of them v.as the girl who was
with Richards at the time of the
shooting. She srfid there were no
words and no quarrel previous to the
killing. She said she w^s sitting at a
table with Richards in the dance hall
when she 'heard a shot and saw Mar

Japanese Seeks l>aniasrc~.
H. Dochi, a Japanese, brought -suit
in Justice of the Peace Daniels* court
yesterday ajcainst Charles Mahoney to
recover 5299 damages. Dochi alleges
that Mahoney pushed him off an £llfs
street car on the morningr of January
26, 1903. and that he sustained in
juries that prevented him from work
ing for many months. The Judge took
the case under advisement.
urged the Finance Committee to make
arrangements for- an exhibit in the
Model City. Phelan announced that
an endeavor would be made to raise
535,000 additional by popular sub
scription in order that the amount for
a creditable exhibit will aggregate
550,000. ;
Xegro Agor.tino has an equity in
one of the most wonderful timepieces
that ever came from the hands of a
watchmaker. For its rarity he values
it highly and rightly enough. If
watches were sold by the pound It
would be worth nearly a million dol
lars. Compared to it the ferry clock
looks like a finger ring timepiece.
Agontino found himself Saturday
night with his precious watch and a
hold-over thirst that needed quench
ing. With considerable exertion he
packed his jag and the watch to a
pawnbroker named Crockett on Clay
street, who advanced $3 on the unique
indicator, but refused to lend on the
jag. The next morning Agontino
awoke without his cherished posses
sion and obtained a search warrant
against the pawnbroker.
The case was before Judge Conlan
yesterday. The pawnbroker and his
assistant took the disputed watch to
court. Luckily the courtroom was not
crowded, otherwise the exhibit would
have been deposited in Portsmouth
square for inspection. Agostino could
speak no English and told his story
through an Italian interpreter. He
said the watch had been stolen from
him while he was drinking.
"What!" said Judge Conlan. "Steal
a watch like that from a man? Why,
it would be easier to steal a truck
load of sewer pipe out of his inside
pocket. If this man carried this
watch and it was taken from him sud
denly he would have gone up in the
air 300 feet and floated around in
definitely."
The pawnbroker testified that Agos
tino had personally received $3 and
given his unique timepiece as a pledge.
The Judge told the complaining wit
ness that he would have to pungle up
the $3 if he wished ever to connect
himself with his ponderous watch
again, and dismissed the case.

old man was searching for his missing
money she told him who the thief was

A committee consisting of E. B.
Pond, F. J. Symmes and J. D. Phelan
The San Francisco committee mem
bers were disappointed at the refusal
of the Commissioners to promise to
pay for erecting the San Francisco
building at St. Louis at the estimated
cost of $12,000, and did not hesitate to
say so after the conference was ended.
As neither the executive committee nor
the display committee for the city was
fully represented no action could be
taken. A report will be made back as
to the lack of success. The expecta
tion of the San Francisco committee is
that the show to be made by this city
will cost about $50,000 to collect, install
and maintain during the continuance
of the St. Louis exposition.
While the St. Louis Commissioners
yesterday declined to guarantee $12,000
to defray the cost of the San Fran
cisco bulldlne, it was agreed to pay
the transportation charges on all that
San Francisco wishes to send on as
exhibits. As the San Francisco display
will consist principally of maps, pic
tures and other articles that have little
weight, the transportation item will not
be. relatively, very large.
The Board of Supervisors yesterday
adopted a resolution authorising an
appropriation of $5000 out of the ur
gent necessity fund, if it contains that
amount on June 30, 1904, and pledg
ing the board to appropriate an addi
tional 510,000 for the purpose of de
fraying a portion of the expense of a
municipal exhibit at the St. Louis ex
position.
It was also pointed out by the mem
bers of the San FVancisco committee
in conference that unless San Fran
cisco has its own building at the great
show it will not be distinctively rep
resented, while many counties will be
on exhibition in the agriculture build
ing:.
The conference did not last long. The
St. Louis Cemmisaioners said that it
would be impossible to appropriate
512,000 as asked for the reason that
the entire appropriation has been prac
tically apportioned and there are un
avoidable expenses that will be very
large. For instance, the railroads are
going to charge a rate of 60 cents per
100 pounds for moving exhibits from
San Francisco to St. Louis. This rate
is for goods moved in one direction.
Those which are to be brought back to
California will trke a higher rate.
There are tons of mineral exhibits to
be moved to the mines and mining
building. There are many tons of fruits
In glass, vegetables, educational exhib
its and various bulky products which
at the transportation one-way rate of
60 cents per 100 pounds will make away
with the funds very fast.
COMMITTEE DISAPPOINTED.
REFUSE APPROPRIATION.
The Commissioners to the St. Louis
exposition were asked yesterday by the
executive committee and members of
the display committee for the city and
county of San Francisco to appropriate
$12,000 to pay for the erection of a mu
nicipal building at St. Louis to house
the exhibits this city will send on to
the great show and declined to make
the grant. . Ex-Mayor Phelan. Presi
dent Symmes of the Merchants' Asso
ciation, President E. B. Pond of the
San Francisco Savings Union and Mr.
Colburn, secretary of the San Fran
cisco committee, waited en the St.
Louis Commissioners at the Russ
Houie. Commissioners Filcher and
"Wiggins were in the headausirters of
the commission when the delegation
from San Francisco called.
Within a very few minutes a confer
ence took place. The representation
was made in behalf of San Francisco
that this city pays about one-third of
ail the taxes paid in this State. The
State % appropriated $150,000 for St.
Louis. On that basis, so said the mem
bers of the committee. $12 COO was not
a large sum to be appropriated to
have San Francisco provided with an
appropriate building among the other
municipal structures to be reared at
St. Leais.
All through, the hearin? the defend
ant, gowned modestly in brack, sat
rmiling at the discomfiture of Lay
mance and showing no traces of anx
ierY on her own account.
At 4:20 o'clock the hearing was ad
jcurne<l until Wednesday morning,
when Laymance will be further cross
examined and the prosecution expects
to present more testimony of bank offi
cials to the effect that they do not be
lieve the signature to be -genuine.
Jam*! H. Swift. pr^Fident of the
Columbian Banking Company, was a
witness for the prosecution as a hand
writir:? expert. He told the court that
fce bas^d his conclusion that the dis
puted checks vrere suprious on the fact
that they were not written on forms
ordinarily used by Laymance and in
the demeanor of the defendant when
the was accused by the bank officials
of presenting a forced cneck. During
th* cross-examination it was strongly
hinted by counsel for the defense that
Mr. Swift, who is the actual complain
ing witness, and the institution which
he represents would be made defend
ants in a heavy damage suit.

Cabaniss was powerless to prevent the \
revelation of the relations which Lay- j
nance is alleged to have borne to the i

particularly peasant story to listen to,
despite the repeated assertions of Lay
mance that for the twelve years of !
th^ir acquaintance there was nothing
meretricious in their association. From
the Questions asked on cross-examina

In civil and possibly criminal proceed-

Judge Cabaniss clearly intimated his
opinion cf the merits of the case during
the grilling of Laymance by stating in
rlain language that he believed the al
legred spurious check to have been writ
ten by the same hand that penned ad
mittedly genuine exemplars of the
fame character? introduced as evi
dence. He did this for the # purpose of
to spare the witness the
frtur* 1 of a castigating cross-question
ing. The prosecution's counsel failed
to grasp the situation and allowed his
client v to suffer the ordeal.
Among the witnesses introduced by
the prosecution was Daniel E. Ames.
one of the old school of handwriting ex
perts. During his examination Judjre
Cabaniss picked up two checks, both
claimed to be forged, one for $50 and
one for HO.
"Show me the essential differences
between these two checks." said the
Judgw. The expert went into a long
discourse on up-«rrok~s. slants, shading
and other technical terms. Finally he
specified one check as genuine and the
uther as a forgery. As both of the
checks were claimed to be forgeries
his further testimony fell on unheeding
•ars.
