ing Pierce was seen to enter the store,
carrying a sackful of the caps. He

HOSPITAL SHIP SOLACE
SAILS FOR .GUAM ISLAXD
Communicates With Honolulu by
Wireless Telegraph When Nearly
200 .Miles Out From Land.
HONOLULU, June 2. — The United
States hospital ship Solace, which left
here yesterday afternoon for Guam
Island, made wireless telegraph testa
and kept In communication with the
apparatus of the cruiser New York
for seventy miles. Later she main
tained communication with the Inter
island Wireless Telegraph Company
for 194 miles. At noon to-day, at a
distance of 250 miles, the test signal
letter "V" was five times repeated.
When leaving San Francisco the
Solace lost communication with tho
shore at seventy-eight miles.
After the entire morning session had
been spent in the wrangling of attor
neys on technical points of the law, six
jurors were finally secured yesterday
of the twelve who will try Jacob Ep
pinger, charged by the International
Banking Company with obtaining
money under false pretenses. The aged
defendant was in the courtroom during
the entire proceedings, but betrayed
no more interest in them than did the
ordinary onlookers. Only when it came
to the making of peremptory challenges
did hfe consult , with his attorneys or
offer any suggestions to them.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing the old dispute regarding the ac
ceptance of jurors who had been drawn
in 1903 was renewed. Attorneys Dunne,
Ach and ghortridge making lengthy ar
guments in support of their challenge
of the panel. They were answered by
Attorney J. C. Campbell and District
Attorney Byington. The chief conten
tion of the defense was that as new
names were drawn this year the hold
overs from last year / should be disquali
fied, even though they had only served
a month instead of a year, as the law
requires^
On the other side the contention was
made that. there had been no departure
from the statute; that the jurors were
all regularly dra,wn and were qualified
to serve.
HOLDS PANEL IS REGULAR.
After hearing the arguments Judge
T«iwlor denied the motion to dismiss
the panel, to which ruling Attorney
Ach took exception. The court held
that the statute quoted by the defense
was not mandatory, but rather direc
tory, and that a broad and liberal con
struction "should be placed upon It. The
names in the jury box were not a false
quantity and the men were still quali
fied for jury duty.
The examination of jurors then con
tinued. H. M. Holbrook, the hardv/are
merchant, was first called, but was ex
cused, as he had discussed the case
with wheat brokers and did not feel
that he could give a fair and impartial
trial. Goldwin McAvoy, a Polk street
shoe merchant, had formed no opinion
regarding the case, had not discussed
it with anv one and had never even
heard of Detective Tom Gibson. He
was accented. William Piljer, who con
ducts a pleating establishment on Post
street, was next accepted. '\ f
Daniel McPhee, a contractor, an
swered all the questions propounded
satisfactorily, but as he admitted that
relatives of his had lost money by the
Eppinger failure he was peremptorily
challenged by the defense. John Man
ning, a retired police officer, was chal
lenged by the defense because his name
was on : :ii 1903 list. The challenge was
disallowed.
BUSINESS MEN* EXCUSED.
John F. Plum, a real estate agent in
the Mission, and John E. Sills, who has
a machine shop in Oakland, were suc
cessively examined and accepted. Solo
mon Schlossa, retired Bhoe merchant,
was challenged by the defense on the
ground that his name was on the 1903
list, and as the prosecution did not ob
ject he was excused. P. C. Rossi was
peremptorily challenged by the defense,
and Henry Schuck was excused by con
sent of both sides. Herman Hinkelman,
who is connected with a hay and grain
house, said it was impossible for him
to give a fair trial and he was dis
missed. John Greely, a contractor, re
siding in- the Richmond district, was
the sixth talesman accepted.
Court adjourned until 11 o'clock this
The Ujilted States cruiser Tacoma,
Captain F. R. Nicholson, from Hono
lulu, arrived here yesterday, having
spent four days. May 24 to 23, cruising
in search of doubtful Islands hereto
fore reported in the neighborhood of
•17 degrees north latitude and 136 de
grees west' longitude. The Tacoma
found no islands or shoal water and
saw no signs of land.
James D. Hague of New York, who,
by authority of the Secretary of the
Navy, accompanied the Tacoma for the
purpose of participating in the search,
says that this result is absolutely con
clusive so far as it concerns the ocean
area actually seen from the track line
of the Tacoma. The area thus exam
ined is about one-third of the ques
tionable region where islands have
been occasionally reported, and may,
possibly, yet ba found. The search of
the Tacoma was restricted to four days
by her limited v coal supply. As she
carried no appliances for deep sea
sounding, her exploration was wholly
superficial.
These results afford no hope for light
on the loss of the United States ship
Levant, which disappeared mysterious
ly in 1860, on her voyage from Hawaii
to Panama, and is now believed to
have been wrecked on rocks) some
where In her sailing track. This be
lief is founded upon almost unques
tionable evidence, indicating that some
of the wreckage of the Levant was
washed ashore on the south end of
Hawaii about nine months after her
departure from Hilo. Mr. Hague has
recently obtained some further data
concerning this wreckage and its sig
nificant relations to the question of
the Levant's fate. He is more than
ever confident that the vessel- did not
founder in mid ocean, but was wrecked
on some reef, perhaps, island, when
possibly there might have been, and,
in such event, still may be, survivors.
The search of the Tacoma was un
dertaken in hope of finding such an
island, if there be one. In this re
spect the result is disappointing. In
other respects the result of the cruise
Is beneficial, since It tends to the ul
timate removal from the charts of an
existing menace to navigation.
It is now for the Navy Department
to decide upon a further search. As
lias been stated, the short time of
search was due to lack of coal. It was
originally the department's intention
to fit out a vessel of large coal carry
ing capacity and equipped with proper
instruments for soundings, and this
The determined efforts of the police
to keep in custody William B. Ken
nedy, alias Richard Jackson, alias "Yel
low," who was one of the thugs arrest
ed for the murder of Policeman Eugene
C. Robinson, have aroused the anger
of Judge Cook.' Yesterday he cited
Frank H. Norman, clerk to the Chief
of Police, twice, and Detective .Ser
geants J. F. Dinan and E. J. Wren
once to show cause,, why they should
not be punished for contempt of court.
Kennedy was before the Judge for
the fourth time yesterday morning on
an application for a writ of habeas
corpus for his release. He had been
booked as a last resort "en route to
Grants Pass. Or., for burglary." He
was brought \ into court by Deputy
Sheriff Welch, and an oral return was
made by Clerk Norman that Kenpedy
was not in the custody of the police,
but of the Sheriff. The Judge insisted
upon, a written return being made, and
Norman, thinking the matter settled,
left tho courtroom. The Judge ordered
him arrested for contempt in open
court, and when Norman was brought
back he made a satisfactory explana
tion and was purged of the charge.
He later made the written return and
the Judge granted the writ and or
dered the prisoner discharged.
IS AGAIN' ARRESTED.
As Kennedy left the courtroom he
was arrested again by' Detectives
Dinan and Wren and taken to the
prison, where he was booked for an at
tempt to commit burglary at Cypress
Lawn Cemetery on the night of Janu
ary 20, 1902. Attorney Newburg at once
applied to the Judge for another writ,
which was made returnable forthwith,
and attachments were Issued against
Clerk Norman and Detectives Dinan
and Wren to bring them into court to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt by again arrest
ing Kennedy after the Judge had is
sued a warning that if any such arrest
were made somebody would have to
answer for It. They were brought into
court and released on their own recog
nizance till 2:30 p. m.
When the cases were called in the
afternoon Assistant District Attorney
Harris asked for a continuance of the
contempt proceedings till this morn
ing:, as he was not prepared with an
answer. V ¦: ¦ ''¦''!
NOT TO RK_TUIFLED AVITH.
The Judge said that if the police had
no legal cause to hold the prisoner it
should have been set forth in their re
turn. The prisoner had been arrested
on the threshold of the courtroom, and
the court was not to be trifled with. He
read a section of the code to the effect
that •». prisoner while going to, in at
teni. -;ice at or returning from court
could not be interfered with. He said
he had repeatedly held that a prisoner
must not be arrested within the court
house. A serious contempt had been
committed, and he wanted' to know who
had done it or advised It. He granted
the continuance till this morning. Tho
respondents were released on their own
recognizance.
After hearing testimony on the appli
cation for the writ th'e Judge said that
although the prisoner had been illegal
ly arrested, still he was in the custody
of the Sheriff. The point that the pris
oner had with the others conspired in
this city to commit a burglary, or at
tempt at burglary, in San Mateo Coun
ty could not be sustained. The offense,
if any, had been committed In San Ma
teo County, and he made an order re
manding the prisoner into the custody
of the Sheriff of this county for forty
eight hours, adding that if no demand
was made by the Sheriff of San Mateo
County for the prisoner within that
time the prisoner should be discharged.
