Power of Woodland (chairman), Mrs. L. Baston of San Francisco and Mrs. Mate H. Cart wright of San Francisco, grand trus tees. At a quarter to 6 the grand body adjourned to meet again this morning, when the business of the session as yet unfinished will be disposed of. \ A large part of the day's sessions was devoted to consideration of new by-laws, and much . legislation of im portance to the order was adopted. Last evening a banquet was . given the grand officers and delegates in the Assembly Hall of the Alcazar building. Covers were laid for 150 and every seat was occupied. Supper was served on tables garnished with roses, carnations and ferns, and at the close Jacob Label, editor of the American Forester Re view, the offlcial organ of the' order, presJded as toastmaster. Addresses were delivered by many of the officers and members of the order. American Companions of the Forest Elect Their Leaders for the Ensuing Year GRAND CIRCLE HAS NEW CHIEFS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 2. — The Missouri Supreme Court to-day decided that the State Board of Arbi tration had no power to punish wit nesses for contempt who refuse to tes tify before It- Lacks Power to Commit for Contempt. "Go back to Jail ' till next Thurs day," said his Honor, severely, "and then I'll decida how^much longer you are to stay there." As she staggered away in the bailiff's custody Mary expressed regret that she had not forfeited her f 50 bail money. "You've been drinking again," re marked Judge Fritz as he glanced at the flushed face and heavy eyes of Mrs. Mary Galvin, the "Aristocratic Soak," to whom on Tuesday he had given two days' freedom In response to her appeal for permission to see her daughter graduated' from an out-of town seminary. " 'Deedno," expostulated Mary, val iantly endeavoring to separate her words and steady her wavering frame. Thomas Moore was asleep in a Chinatown gutter when Patrolman Clancy scooped him in. "I'll, hand It to you quite severely to-morrow," said His Honor Mogan. "I hope you'll get the limit for giving the name of Erin's Immortal bard, whether it's your correct one or not," growled Bailiff Hickey as he rudely thrust Mr. Moore Into the "pen." when his Honor pronounced Peter guilty. . Then It developed that the baseball belonged to neither of them, but wa8 the property "of a third boy who did not participate in the quarrel at- all. Peter will be fined $5 to-day. Ladies are cordially invited to visit the new gas range and heating department of San Francisco Gas and Electric Co., 415 Pont st, now open for inspection. • "George D. Collins, the attorney, yes terday filed a complaint In the Su perior Court against Adolph Ottin«;er, the ticket broker, demanding Judg ment for $2000 for professional ser vices. Collins Sues Qttinger. The lawyers about town ask, "Why this delay?" The charges against Col lins have been made public. Their transcription into legal form is not a difficult task. Whenever the matter is mentioned there is general interroga tion. No one knows anything of these charges apparently. It is rumored that for some pause or other the charges will not be filed. None of the interested parties will •vouchsafe any information. A Justice of the Supreme Court said yesterday: "I cannot see what has been done so far except to give him (Collins) plenty of free advertising." Collins stated last night that if tlje accusation was not presented within ten days he would institute a libel suit. Referring to the case last night At torney Collins said: "I have been ac cused by a committee and there the case has ended. They have fired a gun and hunted their holes. They must file the threatened charges or I shall sue them forlllbel." Attorney George D. Collins has filed in the Supreme Court his answer to the expected accusation of the San Francisco Bar Association. He says he has done this to force his accusers to file the threatened charges against him and that he will sue them for libel if they fail to do so. Collins' argument is labeled, "In re Accusation Against George D. Collins; Brief of Accused." But where is the accusation? The clerks of the Supreme Court have been waiting until after the closing hour for many days in order to be sure to get the charges which are aimed to disbar the attorney. The secretaries have kept their rooms cleared of visi tors in case the accusers wish to enter their brief necretly. The Justices have been perusing the answer to the charges which have not been preferred. The whole situation is anomalous. He Says His Enemies Have 1 Fired a Gun and Run, but Must Fight in Court IS OX THE AGGEESSIYE Gladys SL Clair corroborated all that Rose Decker told Judge Mogan anent the disorderly conduct of "Kid" Nash, who was jilted by Miss Decker and uttered dire threats against her life. Miss SL Clair was described by the prosecuting policeman as the "star roomer" of Miss Decker's select apart ment-house in the 200 block of Mason street, and she seemed to enjoy the distinction thereby conveyed. "I wasn't in me right mind vr*en I did de t'lngB youse say I did," said Mr. Nash to his accuser, "an' dis bull knows dat I wuz bughouse w'en He pinched m«. Ain't dat right?" 'Miss Decker acknowledged that her erstwhile consort's behavior was rather irrational on the occasion referred to, and the policeman testified to the same effect. "Tell youse wot I'll do> Judge," sug« Mrs. Maud Inman of 119 Turk street and Mrs. E. Ramft of 906 Market street tried' to "have it out" before Judge Mogan, but were prevented by the admonitory gavel of the ever vigilant and peacfe-preserving Hickey. Mrs. Ramft rented a suite of apart ments toyMrs. Inman, who gave vapor baths and advice to neurotics in quest o/ treatment and able to pay for it. When Landlord Walsh intimated that he intended to increase Mrs. Ramft's rental that lady besought Mrs. Inman to exercise her well-tyiown power of suasion to Induce him to forego his intention. "If you talk him Into let ting my rent alone," Mrs. Ramft is al leged by Mrs» Inman to have said, "you can have your rooms rent free for three months." Mrs. Inman immediate ly Interviewed Mr. Walsh, who yielded to her request, and Mrs. Ramft fairly fell upon her shoulder and deluged it with tears of gratitude. A month later, however, Mrs. Ramft demanded her rent, as usual, and pooh-poohed Mrs. Inman's reminder of promised immunity. Mrs. Inman refused to pay, and when she returned from a brief outing she found her doors locked and all her effects in the hands of Mrs. Ramft. So she began proceedings for their recovery, and thfas It happened she and Mrs. Ramft, each backed by an able and eloquent pleader, came near "having it out" yesterday in the presence of his Honor. The women glared at each other In anger and laughed at each other in scorn, and each openly accused the other's legal adviser of excessive real. His Honor fortunately found a way oat,, by suddenly discovering that no return had been made by the officer who served the search warrant upon Mrs. Ramft, and when he told the par ties to take their contention to a Jus tice of the Peace there was suppressed joy in his tones. Joseph McEvoy, who was held in $500 bail to answer the charge of embez zling $200 intrusted to him as collector for Reinhold Richter Camp, Spanish- American War Veterans, was surren dered into custody by his bondsmen and is now a prisoner. Thomas Crow ley, one of the bondsmen, heard that McEvoy was about to leave the city. Mary Fleming told Judge Mogan that she was taking a walk to ease a pain in her back when a^ policeman arrested her at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning on complaint of Joseph Smith of 603 Natoma street, who alleged that she had an annoying habit of haunting bis dwelling with larcenous intent. Soon after one of Mrs. Fleming's ma tutinal visits, Mr. Smith said, he missed an alarm clock which he had wound up and set the previous night, and he strongly suspected that she had taken it, this suspicion being strengthened J?y the fact that as she was passing a neighbor's residence the inmates there of were startled to hear a prolonged musical whlr-r-r-r emanating from be neath her wrap, while her manner be trayed great perturbation of* spirit. Mrs. Fleming denied knowledge of the clock and disclaimed intention of taking property not her own when she dropped in at cockcrow to see the Smiths. Her visits, she asserted, were solely of a sociable kind, so far as she was con cerned, although fhey were not accept ed in similar spirit, but rather as in trusions, by the Smiths. She will be sentenced to-day for vagrancy. When the case of former Police Ser geant Reuben A. Wolf, charged with having brutally asaulted Edmond Cob lentz,^ a newspaper reporter, was called in the court of Judge Cabaniss the at torneys agreed that they were not ready for the hearing. So the Judge ar raigned and instructed the defendant and set the trial for next Wednesday. "It was a few minutes past mid night. " ; Special Officer Canham testi fied, "and I was standing at Sutter and I*avenworth streets when these two messenger boys came running — " "RUNNING!" exclaimed Judge Mo gan. "Nonsense!" muttered Bailiff Hickey. "Don't forget you're on oath," whis pered Clerk Grey, warningiy, to the witness. The attorneys' table growled incredu lity, and the Inmates of the "pen" perked up and took notice.' "Yes, running," repeated the officer; "they were running; and running fast, too, as they passed me." Then everybody stared at the two diminutive defendants, who fairly shrank into their natty uniforms as if they were ashamed of the traditions smashing conduct alleged against them. Bailiff Hiokey immediately opined that they were amateur Mercuries. The policeman went on to say that after the boys had passed him he was informed by a citizen, name not given, that they had just burglarized the fruit store of Emil Savio, at 835 Sutter street, and that it was his duty to follow and arrest them. He adopted the sugges tion, and when he took his prisoners back to the fruit emporium he found that the shutters had been broken. "We didn't burgle nothin'," said James Itodela, eldest of the defendants. "We wuz jist a * playin' tlck-tack tock," was the defensive explanation volunteered by the other accused, Al bert Flick. As the owner of the damaged prop erty was not present to tell whether any of his wares had been purloined, the case was continued till to-morrow, with bail fixed at $250 apiece. Peter Morrlsery and William Jagoe, fourteen-year-olds, fought on Cheney street for possession of a baseball and Peter landed a right hook on Wil liam's mouth which ended the "scrap" and led to Peter's arrest for battery. The lads renewed their oral discussion in Judge Fritz's court and were rap idly advancing toward the fistic stage John Donahue confessed that twen ty-two of his fifty-five years on earth have been largely devoted to drunk enness and consequent vagrancy. "And you look it," said Judge Mo gan. "For three months from this dq^te, however, you will not have op portunity to indulge your penchant." Attorney Fennel, representing the Citizens' Alliance, informed Judge Ca baniss that the prosecuting witness against Cliff Killner, charged with as saulting a non-union stableman on Hayes street, had suddenly and myste riously disappeared, and that without his testimony there was no probability of convicting the defendant. The case was accordingly dismissed. Charles Hanson, accused of selling lottery tickets, pleaded inability to de cide whether it would be better for him to acknowledge guilt or stand trial, and Judge Mogan gave him until next Tuesday to wrestle with the problem. Dave Warfleld, similarly charged, was remanded till June 9 by the same Judge. The police say tliat Warfleld sold lottery tickets to the Sheriff of an interior county, who mailed them to the authorities here. Israel Berg smiled when Judge Fritz sentenced him to six months' imprlBon ment {or having failed to provide for the woman and two minor children whom he deserted in England and by whom he was followed to this city, where he had taken unto himself a wife. Throughout his trial Berg acted in a most heartless way toward the un fortunate woman with whonY v he was forced to confess he had maintained in timate relationship for years, nor did he show the least symptom of affection for the little ones, who unmistakably inherited his facial characteristics. Shortly j after Berg's removal to the prison hi3 accuser appeared as com plainant against Albert Doran, John McClean and William Burns, young men recently from the East, who in drunken frolic had smashed three doors of the lodging-house kept by her at 17 Fourth street. They were booked for burglary, but a charge of malicious mischief was substituted, and of that they were found guilty and will be sen tenced to-day. The owner of the prefn ises said they destroyed' about $1200 worth of his property. • • • Edward Crawford, accused of being connected with the theft of rubber boots and brass machine fittings from the Charles Nelson Company, was dis charged bj» Judge Cabaniss. John Brown and £>aniel Bigelow, boys who are before the juvenile court on the same charge, testified that Crawford had nothing whatever to do with the stealing. The plunder was Bold to va rious second-hand dealers on Mission street. • Two pretty little girls appeared be fore Judge Cabaniss and c«mplained that since their father, James McFall, sailed away to Hilo as master of the bark Martha D&vis their mother has been drinking and . neglectful of her household duties. The case was referred to Officer Young of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Miss Decker expressed willingness to make it a "go," and Miss St. Clair also acquiesced, although she could not forget that he (the defendant) had treated Miss Rose "just awful." The Judge interposed no objection, the po liceman didn't seem to^care how the case turned out, and Mr. Nash's pro posal was accepted. gested the "Kid," seeming to relish having his mentality pronounced de fective.

I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong ; and vigorous and perfectly well. • "My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good you have [done me." — Sincerely yours, Miss Maeqabet Merkley, 275 Third St, i llilwaukee, "Wis.
