Orders have been issued by the Fire
Commission that the engineer of each
company shall teach two or three-fire
men connected with the same to run
the engine. Although some of the
firemen are objecting to this the ex
perience will stand them in good stead
chould they take the examination for
engineer.
A meeting of the Fire and Civil Ser
vice Commissioners and the board of
examiners will be held some day next
week to arrange the scope of .the ex
amination. The questions will bear
on the general knowledge of the du
ties of the engineers who handle lire
engines. The salary is $112 50 per
month.
The Civil Service Commission is
making active preparations to hold an
examination for engineers of the Fire
Department. A board of examiners,
consisting: of E. W. Tucker, George
W. Fairchild and D. J. O'Brien, has
been appointed to conduct the exam
ination. Tucker and Fairchild are
manufacturing engineers and O'Brien
is a member of the Stationary Engin
eers' Union.

The Board -Of Works yesterday or
dered an investigation to be made in
to the complaint of Henry H. Whitely
relative to a resolution of intention
adopted by the board requiring that
stone." curbs and bituminous pavement
be laid on Broadway, between
BakT and Broderick streets. Whitely
states that there must be a mistake
in the order as the entire block has
been bituminized and other work done
at a cost of $5000.
The Risdon Iron Works was granted
a temporary permit to erect a fence
along the center line of Twenty-second
street, from to Louisiana.
Delos Rector appealed to the board
for relief in a judgment obtained
against him for assessment for street
work done on Richland avenue. Rec
tor refused to pay the assessment of
$137 35, but when the judgment was
obtained he deposited the money with
the Bureau of Streets, which turned
it over to the contractor. Now the
latter wants the full amount of the
judgment, including attorney's fees
and costs of court. Attorney Gart

matter.

Police Judge Fritz yesterday charging
Walter E. Reed" with the crime of for-:
gery- Schellenberg alleges that he and j
Reed . had been living together at 338 j
Golden Gate avenue. Reed learned that
Schellenberg had money on deposit in j
the Hibernia Bank. In the cours^ of j
conversation Reed drevir' from Schellen- |
berg that it was a rule of the bank tot
obtain from the depositor the name'of
his mother. Reed learned the name of j
Schellenberg's mother. j
"* Complainant further alleges that on I
Monday last Reed, broke open his .
trunk, stole his bank book and. took U*
to the bank. Reed was asked the usual j
questions, including the one as to the I.
name of his mother, and he answered
them readily. He withdrew $45 and
signed the book in Schellenberg's name.
Schellonberg's suspicions were aroused
by finding slips of paper bearing imita
tions of his signature. He looked in
his . trunk, found his bank book was
missing.- hurried to the bank and '
learned the trick that had been played \
upon him. % i
The Schellenberg signature made by !
Reed in the book in the bank is said to
be a very poor imitation. The bank ¦

the case and will assist in the prosecu- '>

The well-known man of letters says
that at the time of the trouble in
China he was approached by Hearst's
agents and solicited to go to the Orient
as a special war correspondent. After
arriving at a • full understanding
as to the duties expected of
him and the compensation to be
paid him, he consented. The agree
ment as to services and salary, he says,
was as explicit and unmistakable In its
terms as he knew how to make it, and
he undertook the mission in confidence
that the representations and promises
would be carried out both in spirit and
in the letter.
In due time the poet sailed for the
East and shortly thereafter Hearst's
newspapers began the simultaneous
publication of his letters from China.
Miller spent three months or more
in this work. Up to date, it is said,
he has received only $500 on account
thereof. This Is something less than
half the expenses he incurred.
For the balance due under the
terms of his contract he is
about to bring suit against the million
aire newspaper owner. His attorney
is John G. Jur>\ himself a poet of no
mean standing.
Mr. Jury was disinclined to talk of
the case last evening, saying: "Mr.
Miller placed the matter in my hands
only this morning and I have hardly
had time to look over the papers. I
believe he has a valid cause of action
against Hearst, who has paid him only
a fraction of his expenses and noth
ing for services. I have no doubt we
shall recover the full amount to be
sued for."

Joaquin Miller, the venerable poet
of the Sierras, came over to San Fran

the Piedmont hills for two purposes —

Fourteen male vagrants in various
stages of sartorial dilapidation were
ranged before his Honor Fritz as the
result of the first " spring rodeo of
"waterfront bums." Patrolman Dow
er, who directed the round-up, told
how he had found the defendants
asleep upon and under wharves, In
empty boxes and buildings, packed
away amid cargo, in coal bunker? —
almost everywhere except, in bed.-
Then the Judge requested that the
old offenders be picked out from the
first-timers, and when the sifting pro
cess had been concluded the debu
tantes were given twenty-four hours
apiece and the 'chronics were sen
tenced to terms of imprisonment
ranging from one to three months.

Dr. Chu Dan Yuen, than whom no
medico in Chinatown enjoys more lu
crative practice, was hastening along,
Jackson street to visit an, opulent pa
tient when he ran afoul of Mike Ze
peda, who addressed him with foul
words and slapped his- face. Arrest
of Mike..
Dr. Yuen informed Judge Cabaniss
that the assault was unprovoked and
the defendant was unable to give rea
8on for iL He did not admire the doc
tor's costume, he said, nor did he en
tirely approve of the way in- which
the voluminous silken skirts were
swung as the doctor walked. It was
the swishing of these garments against
SI ike's leg that impelled him to tell
the doctor what he thought of him
and finally to slap the Celestial's
cheek.
"Ten days," said the Judge.

. Police Captain Dunleavy was walk
ing along Market street when he saw
F. M. Crossley, a . teamster, brutally
beating a horse with the butt-end of
a heavy whip and the veteran officer
placed the man under arrest.
"The horse has the lying-down
habit." said Oossley in defense of his
conduct, "and he was about to squat
•*hen I poked him in the ribs with the
whip." .
Judge Fritz fined him $2 50.
• • •
When the facts had been explained
to Judge Fritz he dismissed the charge
against Brown and continued the case
of Seaver till to-day. If he had not
been intoxicated, Mr. Seaver says, he
would not have stolen the horse and
buggy and Mr. Brown thinks that Mr.
Seaver owes him at least an apology.
Frank Brown was loitering in a
barroom at Sutter and Devisadero
streets when Frank Seaver, whom he
did not know, entered the place, stated
that Iw had a fast horse attached to
a swell buggy and invited Brown to
take a ride. Acceptance of the invi
tation resulted in the arrest of both
Brown and Seaver for larceny of the
"ris"." it having been taken by Seaver
without its owner's consent.

Mrs. Hattie Johnson made her tare-
S well appearance as a complainant te
i fore Judge Mogan. Her performances
i in that tribunal have been effective,
j Michael, her husband, was given twelve
I months' Imprisonment for ill-treating
! her, and yesterday Mrs. Delia Greehy,
i who assaulted her in the courtroom
j last Saturday, was fined $10" for bat
! tery- Mrs. Johnson has announced in
j tention of transferring herself to Pc-rt
: land. Or.
The Judge allowed the woman to go
. free, and instructed Patrolman Math
j ewson to continue his chase of Alfonso
| until the elusive youth is captured and
charged with vagrancy.
In the court of Judge Mogan there
came finis to the many chaptered ro
mance in which La bra da Morales, aetat
35, and Alfonso Flores, in middle teens,
were the principal characters.
The woman was arrested about six
weeks ago and booked ~ for vagrancy
on complaint of Flores' mere, who de
clared that her son Alfonso had been
virtually abducted by the defendant
and kept away from the maternal roof.
The boy was called to testify, but ne
failed to respond, and then began his
pursuit by Patrolman Mathewson. w ho
appeared in court once a week and re
ported inability to capture. It was
the officer's latest admission of failure
that led to the shelving of the case
yesterday.
When the policeman had reported
progress Labrada addressed the court,
stating that she had decided to plead
guilty and take punishment, because
her heart had undergone a change of
sentiment in the matter of Alfonso.
Dearly as she loved him once, she said,
he does not now possess even the dim
shadow of her affection. Why- Be
cause he intensified her trouble by
blackmailing her after she had been
arrested fer his sake. Instead of sup
porting her with loyalty In her hour
of need he had threatened to appear
in court and corroborate his mother's
testimony if his silence were not pur
chased. She submitted to his extor
tion until her love an' her money were
exhausted. New she cast herself upon
the mercy of the court.
• It was philanthropy that prompted
John Cramer to remove Mrs. Maggie
Ashman from the City and County
Hospital to his home, 435% Tehama
street, and place her in his wife's
care. It was Insatiable craving for
spirituous liquor that led Mrs. Ashman
to treat her benefactors with the basest
ingratitude. She stole from Mrs.
Cramer a diamond ring valued at $50
and a wedding ring intrinsically worth
$7 and pawned them for 75 cents, which
she spent for whisky.
That was the story told to Judge
Conlan, and the accused did not deny
it. She seemed repentant enough, but
it is doubtful -whether she had recov
ered her senses sufficiently to appre
ciate the baseness of her behavior. The
grarnd larceny charge was fully proved,
and the Judge's purpose in continuing
the case till to-morrow was to con
sider how he could best treat the fallen
creature.
Mrs. Ashman was the wife of a well
to-do and respectable citizen, when her
Incurable appetite for drink compelled
him to divorce her. Continued dissipa
tion led to her entering the hospital,
and it was with a hope of reforming
her by guardianship and kind treat
ment that the Cramers took her to
their home.
"It "was the bad booze that I drank."
was the answer, "and I suddenly be
came imbued with a desire to swear
off. Then I hurled the bottle.
. "I'll give you till May 13 to pay for
the signboard," was the court's de
cision.
• "I plead guilfy, your Honor," said
Gorman to Judge Mogan, "and I will
pay for all I broke."
•'But why did ypu break anything?"
inquired the Judge.
After he had consumed about a pint
of cheap whisky James Gorman took
careful aim with the bottle that had
contained it and hurled it through
the highly ornamental signboard of a.
Kearny-street saloon.
Thomas Fallon, who shot and killed
his wife in her apartment on Mission
street, was examined before Judge
Conlan and held without ball to an
swer for murder in the Superior Court.
W. L. Ward, who assaulted William
Cluff in a playhouse one night about
two weeks ago,- has been adjudged in
sane . by the Lunacy Commissioners
and yesterday Judge Mogan allowed
him to be taken in custody by rela
tives, who said they will send him to
a sanitarium at Boca.

Margaret Ferriter, a widow with
four small children, refused to sell a
drink of whisky to Patrolman J. Mad
den, In plain attire, but she did sell to
him a small flask of the spirit for 15
cents. Then he arrested her for sell
ing liquor without a license in her lit
tle grocery on Xatoma street-'^-
After hearing, the testimony Judge
Mogan dismissed the charge and ad
vised the woman to procure a liquor
license if she desired to sell intoxi
cants. She applied for a permit, she
said, but the number of saloons on the
block now exceeds the legal . maxi
mum. ,_ . . . : .
Three months In the County Jail was
the df)s«> prescribed by Judge Mogan
for William Cox, who - maliciously
hurled a brick through the plate-glass
window of a safe deposit' vault. After
throwing the missile William expressed
regret. that. he had not inflicted $10,000
worth of damage. "You talk like an
anarchist, and as an anarchist you
should be treated," said the Judge.
"Sorry I can't give' you more than
three months."
Mary A. Reardon holds a lease on
the -two-sto'ry frame building num
bered 242 Minna street. She occupies
the second story and the ftxst floor ia
subrented to one Murray, who therein
sells liquors at retail. For some unex
plained reason Mrs. Reardon suddenly
became afflicted with strong aversion
to Murray and r his customers and
showed it in such a demonstrative way
that she was arrested for disturbing
the peace. . .
Mr. Murray was the complaining wit
ress against Mrs. Reardon before
Judge Fritz." and he cited enough ob
jectionable behavior on the pnrt of the
lady to warrant the court in pro
nouncing her guilty and deferring sen
tence till to-day. Among acts men
tioned by Mr. Z»Iurray were that of
maligning his character to mutual ac
quaintances, spilling water upon hi?
patrons as they entered or departed
from the saloon, hurling garbage at the
same targets and addressing them In
language that was not, to say the
least, ladylike. ...;/- .
• Mrs. Reardon did not plead that her
conduct was inspired by abrupt con
version to temperance and correspond
ing abhorrence of the liquor traffic. In
deed she did not plead at all.

before yesterday he swore to a com

sale to substantiate his assertion that

and then Judge Mogan' discharged him
and roundly; scored the complainant
for his impetuosity. •
"It you had gone to the defendant
and told him that the bicycle had been
stolen he would probably have satis
