SACRAMENTO. July 19.— The propo
sition to bond the city for $200,000 for
a new high school' carried at a special
election to-day by 224 votes more than
the necessary two-thirds of the votes
cast. The same proposition was placed
before the people several years ago and
defeated. It was believed by many pol
iticians that the same fate, awaited it
this year, .when the Council of Women's
Clubs of Sacramento took hold of the
matter and started a campaign more
vigorous than the city had ever wit
nessed. The council went before the
Board of Health, and had it condemn
the present high school as unsanitary.
It next enlisted the assistance of every
fraternal order in. the city in behalf
of the project. The council has caused
every street car, every tree, every thea
ter curtain and every faction of all po
litical parties to blazon forth or talk
up the claims of the new high school.
It aleo arranged with the Southern Pa
cific Company to allow Its thousands of
employes time to vote.
All day to-day the women used their
private equipages to carry voters to
the polls and everybody to-night de
clares the Women's Council Is entitled
to the credit for the victory.

SCOKE A BIG VICTORY
The title to two diamond rings of the
aggregate value of $440 was argued be
fore Judge Fritz by former District
Attorney D. J. Murphy, representing
Mrs. Kittle Bennett of 304 Sutter streef,
and Attorney Arthur Mack, pleading
for B. Jacobs, pawnbroker at 702
Kearny street.
Mrs. Bennett testified that she was
In the court of Judge Mogan there
was a ruthless tearing away of the
mystery pertaining to a recent "illu
sion act" at the Chutes. Claude Alex
ander, manager of "Argo, the Floating
Lady," was accused of serio-usly as
saulting W. H. Nicholson, his as
sistant, his sole provocation being a
suspicion that the complainant had
"tipped off" the secret of how Argo
was made to float in the atmosphere
and strike entrancing poses without
having any visible material means of
support. Whether the suspicion of Mr.
Alexander was justified or not. Mr.
Nicholson certainly did "tip off" the
illusion when he mounted the witness
stand. In response to an inquiry from
the bench as to his occupation at the
time of the assault he said he operated
the iron rod that held up "Argo" while
she mystified and delighted all un
initiated beholders.
According to Nicholson's story the
assault was a dramatic affair. Under
neath the stage, with lights extinguish
ed for the purpose, he was knocked
down and kicked on head and body by
Alexander until his senses fled. Ere he
entered oblivion, however, he heard
Alexander soliloquize to the effect that
the limp body would be carried to the
highest point of the scenic railway
and from there dropped to the asphal
tum navement far below, whence it
would be removed to the Morgue as
the corpse of one who had fallen from
a car on the elevated track. The in
tended finale was frustrated by Nichol
son recovering consciousness and
crawling away.
Further testimony will be heard to
day. *-•-.;•
John Hansen, George Smith and C.
F. Frazer, deep water sailors, who
were windjammed around the Horn to
gether, celebrated their arrival from a
voyage thickly punctuated with storms
by drinking to excess and then indulg
ing in a three-cornered fight in a wa
ter front boarding-house. The land
lord of the establishment, alarmed for
the safety of his palatial barroom fur
niture, indiscreetly butted into the me
lee and endeavored to split out the
combatant. He was seated in a saw
dust-filled cuspidor and nursing a bad
ly mashed face when the policeman
arrived and arrested the battling trio.
When the quartet appeared before
Judge Fritz the boarding master's
head was a pitiful sight, while the
leather-like countenances of the three
mariners exhibited no sign of recent
punishent. As nobody seemed partic
ularly eager to prosecute anybody else,
one of the seamen declaring that he
would go to the brig and exist on wee
viled hardtack and bilgewater for life
rather than testify against a shipmate,
the case was dismissed.
The story was reminiscent of a
"thriller" at the Central Theater.
Time, 3:30 a. m., Thursday, July 14.
Landlady awakened from sound slum
ber by muffled noises. Traces them to
apartment rented to Howard Love,
night toiler on a morning newspaper.
She tiptoes to door and listens at key
hole until convinced there are at least
two persons 'n the room and that they
move and speak with a caution that
would not be exercised if their intent
were honest. Then she hangs on to
the door knob and yells for aid. In
mates of apartment grasp knob on
other side and also pull, but their
united strength cannot open the door.
Then they are nabbed by lodgers, who
fly to assistance of landlady.
Testimony for the prosecution was
concluded yesterday. Love identifying
as his own some plunder which the
burglars had packed up while in the
room, and various witnesses telling of
the coolness and pluck displayed by
Mrs. Blythe. Then the hearing was
continued till to-day, and as Bailiff
Mahoncy was escorting the two de
fendants back to prison he overheard
Geer remark to Benson that he intend
ed to kill Love. The remark was re
ported to the Judge and Geer will
probably be reminded of it when he
reappears in court this morning.
There was nothing of the traditional
heroine in either the appearance or the
manner of Mrs. William Blythe as she
sat in Police Judge Mogan's court
room yesterday morning and modestly
listened while witnesses told how she
effected the capture of two young and
apparently desperate burglars who
were ransacking a room in her lodg
ing-house at 511 Taylor street. Mid
dle-aged, rather delicate looking, and
with careworn facial expression, she
was about the last woman In the
world that one would suspect of pos
sessing/ the resourcefulness and cour
age credited to her by the testimony.
There was no appearance of the com
plaining witness. Mrs. E. Petrich,
against William H. Stansbury, charged
with sealing a purse from the woman
while she was standing near her resi
dence, 585 Post street, ;. last Sunday
night, and the case was dismissed by
Judge Conlan. Stansbury seemed to
be more aggrieved than pleased with
the dismissal, as he claimed ability
fully to prove his innocence of the of
fense of which he was accused.
Judge Fritz sent three cases to the
Superior Court, with bail in each fixed
at $1000. The defendants are Walter
Haynes, charged with having stolen
two calves, killing them and selling the
carcasses; C. L. Daniels, accused of em
bezzling $98 from the Illinois Pacific
Glass Company while employed as
claims agent for that corporation, and
Joseph Mann, who beat a woman on
the head with a bottle.
August Geber, charged with murder
ing the Hartmann brothers, Charles
and George, was in Judge Conlan's
court, but his arraignment was con
tinued till to-day on account of the
absence of witnesses who were attend
ing the funeral of George. The shoot
ing occurred on Sunday, July 10,
Charles dying instantly and George
lingering until last Sunday evening.
Judge Fritz delivered a scathing lec
ture to three small boys— George Pine,
William Flower and George Farrell—
who were arrested for disorderly con
duct last Sunday at the Seven-mile
House. They indulged in rabid hood
lumism on a street car, to the annoy
ance of passengers who were taking
advantage of the rest day to obtain
quiet recreation In the suburbs.
"This thing of hoodlums making
Sunday hideous for respectable folk
who venture to visit the suburbs will
be severely dealt with by me," said
his Honor, "for I understand it is on
the increase. These defendants are
young, and that fact is the only ex
tenuating phase of their conduct. The
case is continued until I can ascer
tain more about their general charac
ter."
Edward Beach and his wife were
married thirteen months ago and a 4
months-old Infant is said to be so bad
ly neglected by its father that the
Universal Service Society, of which
Mrs. John Pettee is the president and
active worker, has him before Judge
Mogan on a charge of failure to pro
vide for his minor child.
Mrs. Beach says there is another
woman In the case— baptismal name
Nellie, surname unknown — and that
ever since Mr. Beach met Nellie he
has had no use for his own family. He
Is a house carpenter, and was
temporarily pursuing his vocation at
Woodland when he met and became
enamored of Nellie, and now he haa her
living at his father's house on Folsom
street, where he spends most of his
time, leaving his wife to support the
baby as best she can.
The case will be more fully aired to
day.
