A dispatch was received from New
York last nigbt to the effect -that John
H. Coe. who', was found dead in- the
rear of a Sixth-street &aloon last Sat
urday morning, was the son of John
W. Coe of Brooklyn. ;i prominent pol
itician and former State .Senator. Coe
i» said to have l^d a wayward life for
many years. in New York. He disap
peared suddenly sonic years ago and
nothing was heard of him by his rel
ative* till the news of his death was
sent East.

Mrs. White Gives Up Fight.
Mrs.. Jennie White, the divorced
wife of the late Jonathan Whit<\ who
recently lost a long legal battl« to re
cover White's «state, she claiming that
the decree of divorce obtained by
White had been secured by fraud,
yesterday filed a notice waiving her
right to appeal from the decision of
Judge Troutt. which declared her to
be without interest in White's estate.
to Leslie Falkenberg, "that the-law re
stricts me-' from sending you , to * " the
penitentiary. I can'oiily order your im
prisonment in • the County Jaill ' but
your, term -there will be the longest I
can legally: impose. You are the most
contemptible .wretch that ever faced
this court. Your Instincts are those of
the ¦ hoodlum. " I . will sentence you to
morrow." •
Falkenbefg;was convicted of mali
ciously obtaining a warrant for the' ar
rest of -Mamie Garrlty, the mother of
his_ : two , illegitimate children, .with
whom he had quarreled. He sent word
to the woman that he' would like to see
the youngest, of their offspring, a ten
month-6ld babe; and when she 1 -took it
to the house of his parents and left it
there.' Intending to call later and get it,
he swore' out! a warrant ..accusing her
of abandoning the infant/ arid alleging
that its "father was his brother George.
In court it. came, out that he never had
a brother George, and that his charge
against, the woman was systematically
trumped up'. for the purpose of obtain
ing revenge on the unfortunate woman.
Dr. Thomas- i-r. . Brennan submitted
his defense yesterday .to the charge
that he embezzled $37,000 : from the Rev.
P. J. i Grey, 1 and evidence in* rebuttal
will be heard next. Saturday ".by .Judge
Fritz. R. W.'- Putnam, a notary public
at Paso Robles, testified that .on Sep
tember 13, 1899, while Dr. Brennan and
Father Grqjr were staying at the hotel
there, the latter signed a document as
signing all his money on deposit in .the
Hibernia Bank to the defendant, and
that the aged clergyman 'seemed to be
"in good and vigorous mind" at the
time. Five photographs of as many
different houses in which the doctor
and priest had dwelt were produced to
disprove the charge that the defendant
had insufficiently cared for his pa
tient's comfort." Mary Ann Wilkinson,
who had served as housekeeper for
Brennan, testified that his 'treatment
of Father Grey had always been good,
and then Brennan submitted ah affida
vit made by him and dated January 7,
1904, that- Father Grey had signed th,e
checks? on which he drew the $37,000
from the Hibernia Bank.
After he had been sentenced to six
months' .imprisonment for vagrancy
John Roach glared at Judge Mogan
and yelled:
."^Vhat.have I done to get such a
dose as that?" " .
Then the, court gave him thirty days
additional for.disturbing the peace, and
John again bridled up and was about,
to say something more when Bailiff
Hickey considerately grasped his col
lar and harried him from the. court
room. ' • . .
Myrtle and Francis Gallagher are
held' to answer to- the Superior Court
on a charge of robbing John Parker
of $60 in a Minna-street lodging-house.
The defendants are man and wife,
having been married many years,
in Judge -Conjan's court- each tried to
pass up to the other sole responsibility
for. the robbery. "Their bail 1 was fixed
at $500 each.- • • . . ' !- ;.•
Teresa. Hendry. accused' of; bombard
ing with rocks the "residence 'of v W. F.
Whlttier on Jackson street,- between
Octavia and Laguna, had a brief'hear
ing through her attorney in. ; Judge" Mo
ga'n's .court.' The .complaining ..witness
did'. not appear- to prosecute and the de
fendant's counsel dramatically declared
his readiness to proceed with' the trial
and demanded, either ;instant dismissal
or-.the immediate production of' testi
mony sufficient to convict. 'Then he
darkly hinted .that the complainant had
been "smuggled away.". : A' continuance
till to-morrow was ordered. »\ ¦
The defendant 'alleges that *he.'has
a c!aim against. Mr. Whittler for an
injury inflicted' in the long ago and
that she is willing to -setUe-it-for $7000
cash. Some time ago she was arrested
for assailing the complainant' at his
place of business and Judge Mogan dis
missed the case wHen she had -prom
ised to abstain from repeating the of
fense. When she was reminded yes
terday of that' promise she informed
the court that she had not broken it.
as her latest offense was not com
mitted at the place" of business, but at
the residence of the complainant.
Julius Kruttschnitt, the newly ap
pointed 'director of transportation of
the HRrriman lines, yesterday stated
that in a few days a circular will be is
sued announcing the appointment .of
A. L. Mohler, president of the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company, to
the position of; general manager of. the
Union Pacific Company's lines* east of
Green ¦ River.-. . •• . '•
In this way the operating responsi
bilities of the entire Union Pacific road
and 'its branch lines will b» about
equally divided between Mohler and W.
H. Bancroft, who was appointed gen
eral manager of the Union Pacific lines
shortly after the retirement of Horace
G. Burt. Bancroft's Jurisdiction will
include the Union Pacific from Green
river Ho Ogden. the Oregon Short. Line
and' the Salt' Lake division of the Cen
tral Pacific road, between Reno and
Ogden. Mohler's successor as j general
manager of : the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company, Mr. Kruttschnitt
said, -will be E. E. Calvin,- at present
assistant general manager of the Ore
gon-Short Line. To him will also be
assigned the charge of all the Southern
Pacific Company's lines in Oregon.
These changes, explained Mr. Krutt
schnitt, will greatly'facilitate the gen
eral operating of all the Harriman lines
from the office of the director of trans
portation in Chicago.

"General Manager Bancroft," said
Mr.. Kruttschnitt, '"will, have his head

Mr. Kruttschnitt added that Charles

POSITIONS AWAIT MORSE.
There is considerable gossip In local
ialfroad circles over a report received
here from the East to the effect that
S. *F. B. Morse, former assistant pas
senger traffic manager of the Southern
Pacific Company,- is to re-enter the
railroad, business. Morse, who is one
of the most popular tr#fflc men' ip the
Southern States,- "retired from the
Southern Pacific Company about ten
months ago .to become a "partner of
Daniel J,- Sully, the cotton operator,
whose failure last week was a sensa
tional affair in Eastern commercial
circles. *• • ' .'-^
Morse, during his railroad experi
ences in tha South," became "thoroughly
acquainted \ with the cotton situation
and this fact led to his becoming a
member of the 'Sully firm, the failure
of which is said to have cost him sev
eral millions which he aiade during his
! short connection with Sully.; One of
| the stories that reached here yesterday
is that President Harriman- r>f tnfc
SoHthern Pacific: Company had offered
him'hisold position at Ne"w Orleans,
.but local officials of the Southern "Pa
cific discredited this report. 'v

elgns of improvement. Evidently . his
etrenuous work in the Philippines has
much to do with his present malady.
The Twenty-ninth Infantry will be
the next regiment to return from the
Philippines. It is scheduled to leave

ent indications and so far as o.rders
from the War Department are con

Troop M. Ninth Cavalry, under com
mand «>f Captain L. W. Cornish, has
fitted up social club quarters in its
barracks. These quarters are of a pre

borne by the troepers themselves. The
rooms are fitted with billiard and card
tables and those musically Inclined can
enjoy the use of a fine piano.
The Philippine Scouts put up a fine
drill yesterday between 3 and 4 o'clock
on the grounds in front of the General
Hospital buildings. For the first time
the band played during the drill and
added much to the smartness of the
occasion. At 3 o'clock dress parade
took place, followed by manual of arms,
and again the band was a feature.
The First Squadron. Ninth Cavalry,
now stationed at Ord Barracks, has
been selected for the national parks'
detail of California, where it will re
main for about five months. Last year
the Third Squadron, now stationed at

is deemed one of the finest details in
this department and is much sought
after by the different squadrons of
trooper? stationed on the coast.
The reK^ilar monthly field day of the
Tenth Infantry will be held this morn-
Ing at 9 o'clock on the grounds in front

afternot-n the grounds were all staked
off for the proceedings, and unless rain
prevents a fine morning's sport can be
exrected, at a splendid programme ¦ of
events has been arranged.
McEnerney °also * contended that the
indictment was without force here as
an indictment, but was to be examined
as any other bit of evidence. He then
attacked it as failing to make a pre
sumptive case against the defendants,
apd closed by citing cases to support
the defendants' .contention that the
Government is bound to support the
indictment w&h other evidence. The
same line of argumen.t was carried on
by Wheeler, who again questioned the
jurisdiction of 'the court at Washing
ton and was reminded'by the Commis
sioner of his wish not to consider that
matter.
McEnerney made a Tierce attack on
H<^nf*y's positions/ repeating in the
main arguments that had been set
forth by his associates, Schlesinger and
Knight, on Monday, but driving them
home with great force. He further ar
gued that California and Oregon not
having attacked the Government's title
to the lands deeded to it by the defend
ants, that title was good, and therefore,
that every act alleged in» the first
thirty-four courts of the indictment
was an entirely lawful act, because the
Government had not been defrauded of
any land. If any fraud had been com
mitted it was against those States.
Replying s tp- a question by Heney,
counsel- made this remarkably frank
statement of the position taken by the
defense:
We" hold that when a man conveys land
within a reservation to the Government In
exchange for.; land selected outside the reserva
tion ttic transaction * js complete whei> the
Govcrnmept 'acc*Dts it and cannot be at
tacked, no matter whetKer the land within
thc° : reservation l^as b*cn acquired' by fraud
or net. »
mcK.vi:hxky's able plea.
The Commissioner brushed the whole
matter aside with the significant re
mark: "I do not regard the warrant
as very material, but will admit It. As
at present advised I am unwilling to
go into the question of . the court's
jurisdiction. It is not my business to
interfere with a superior tribunal."
The rest of the day was occupied by
McEnerney and Wheeler in replying to
Heney. Wheeler ha<J not concluded
when 4 o'clock brought the adjourn
ment, and he wiK continue this morn
ing at 10:30. V
Heney closed by citing eases to show
that the Government's' titles obtained
from the defendants would nof stand
against a suit by California or- Oregon.
Then, after offering in evidence the
bench warrant from the Supr.eme Court
of the District of Columbia, he rested.
Schlesinger and Wheeler of defendants'
counsel vigorously objected to the war
rant, the latter declaring that it had
been issued by a court without juris
diction.
"That is just what we allege these
defendants did," replied Heney. "They
object that the indictment is defective
because it falls to set forth, in each of
the thirty-four counts, which method
was- used. But that was not necessary.
The indictment simply charges that the
defendants adopted these three methods
of obtaining school lands fraudulently,
in order to«have them included in the
reservations and then exchange them
for the thirty-four tracts of outside
lands belonging to the Government."
HteACOCK LETS IX LIGHT.
At this point Commissioner Heacock
interrupted with a question that was
at once taken by all in the courtroom
as showing his agreement with the
Government's position. He said:
L'nder the words of the indictment specify
ing: the iiarrrls the defendants are charged
with c^nspirinc to ohtaln from the State by
fraud three methods of a!le£ed frauQ are set
fcrth. May it not be true that in the. case
of the larcer parcels offered to the Govern
ment all three of these methods were used
to obtain ! nsscssion from the States? May
not one section or quarter sc-lion in the tract
hsvo l>een obtained on a fictitious name, an
other by using; the name of a man not quali
fied to buy. and still another part of the,
tract by usinp th» name of a man who. al
th-HiEh nualifled. had no intention of settling
upon the land?
The indictment here is valid' in spite of the
defendants' objection that we charge they
conspired to defraud the Government by three
methods, one or more of which they claim
were lawfu!. In fact all we were required to.
Allege was that the defendants conspired to
defraud the Government and that In further
ance of this unlawful agreement they com
mitted one overt act. If two of the methods
by which the defendants grot possession of
the State school lands should b«» shown to be
lawful the indictment would still stand as to
the -third method. '
The forest reservation act was made neces
sary by the stripping of the timber from
(aft a reap throughout the* country. It has
never been the Government's policy to make
money out of its outside lands, but to hold
them for the benefit of the citizens that should
become actual settlers. It was never con
templated that fraudulent titles- lnsi.1» the
reservations could be exchanged for valuable
tracts outside.
United-, States Commissioner E. H.
Heacock spent the entire day yesterday
in listening to further argument in the
land fraud cases on the motion of the
two defendants, Fred A. Hyde and
Henry P. Dimond, to dismiss the Gov
ernment's complaint and relieve them
from the necessity of going to the na
tional capital for trial. Several inti
mations given by the Commissioner
during the day were accepted as indi
cating his disinclination to grant the
motion, unless the defendants put in
evidence establishing their Innocence,
but his final decision will not be known
until the conclusion of the argument
to-day.
Francis J. Heney, special counsel for
the Government, in concluding his
argument, arraigned the State officials
of California and Oregon for negligence
in the methods by which individuals
had been able to get possession of
large areas of the school lands through
fraudulent means, and in* violation of
the purpose of the Government that
these cessions Ehould benefit the whole
people of the United States by being
sold only to actual settlers. Continuing
he said:

"I deeply regret,'' said Judge Mogan

plain to Judge Fritz this morning his
reason for smashing a * seltzer siphon
on the head of G. Greco, night clerk at
the Hotel Florence, about 4 o'clock
yesterday "morning. .
Policemen J. H. Pearl and D. Mur
phy, .who made the arrest, ; found
Greco's head so badly v cut that they
sent him to the Receiving Hospital.
The clerk says the afctsault grew, out of
a discussion over drinks Eppinger had
ordered taken to hisToom in .the Flor
ence. Eppinger wanted the drinta, . but
had no money to pay for them, and the
bartender refused to serve them. .Then
Eppinger dressed himself, went down
stairs and soon afterward, Greco says,
the assault was made. After striking
the clerk Eppinger hurried 'back to : his
room, where .he was arrested. , Eppinger
declares that the clerk struck him; with
a cane and ' that he merely slapped ' his
face in retaliation.- '<

floor of the building at Nineteenth and
Kentucky streets, the lower portion of
the structure containing Louis Edel
stein's stock of Second-hand furniture.
In the court' of Cabanies yesterday .Jlr.
Edelstein accused Master Crotty" of
having been the ringleader of a crowd
of club lads that mobbed him abput- 8
o'clock Monday evening while he. was
about to board a street car and . pro
ceed to his '.lodge. The complainant
averred furthermore that the defendant
struck him with a stick. • .., •.
There was tio lack of testimony, for
the defense. A swarm of. Master G?rot
ty's juvenile acquaintances were posi
tive that from 7 till 9 o'clock '. the ac
cused was in the efubroom, ' punching
the bag and o indulging in other meth
ods of self-rnflicted physical .torture.!
Despite }he overwhelming evidence of
an alibi, however. Master Crotty was
bound over to keep the peace toward
Mr. Edelstein and all other residents
trf South San Francisco.
After straining their ears and ' their
imagination to ascertain what j Steven
Sadowa was trying to make intelligible
expert dialecticians groaned and con*
fessed themselves baffled. Linguistic
sharps also stood . beaten by Sadowa's
verbal contortions, and finally Judge
Mogan postponed his hearing of the
man's testimony until the services of
a person qualified to translate muti
lated Polish into up-to-date ' English
can be obtained. Enough of Steven's
gibberish could be interpreted to con
vey the information that he learned
to talk in some part of Poland's fair
land that is in proximity to the em
pire of the Czar and has mixed up
some of the Slavonic lingo with its own
origipal tongue.
It was .as a complainant that Steven
appeared in court. He charged a mid
dle aged and decidedly unprepossess
ing female named Sarah Martin. with
having pilfered $180 belonging to him,
and it was his effort to explain how
the alleged robbery occurred that drove
the interpreters to despair. From other
witnesses, however, it was learned that
Steven came to the great, city from
the town of Hanford, where for two
years he had worked industriously as
a dairyman and scrimped his pecuniary
expenditures until he had saved $300
of his scanty salary. With this goodly
sum in his pocket he sought social
recreation on the Barbary Coast and
found it in a Pacific-street dance hall.
There he saw and was Immediately
smitten by the matured charms of.
Sarah. Without insisting upon the for
mal introduction that in some other cir
cles of society is considered an essen
tial preliminary - to the proper fore
gathering of strangers. Miss Martin
permitted herself to be addressed col
loquially by the gentleman from Han
ford. In her defense it may be pleaded
that his weird dialect left her in doubt
as to what he was saying when he
asked her to accept liquid refreshments
at his expense, but such a plea must
collapse before the fact that- she un
hesitatingly imbibed the beverage
when he handed it to her. It has also
been proven by the undisputed testi
mony of persons among those present
that Steven and Sarah did not dance,
but nosed as wall flowers and sipped
arcient spirits until they departed from
the temple of Terpsichore in the small
hours of morning.
What happened after that is known
only to Steven and Sarah, but prob
ably will be disclosed to-day with the
aid of an interpreter, in search of whom
the city is now being scoured.
