GEORGE 3IOWRY IS FIXED
$100 BY SUPREME COURT
Executor of Simon Straus Estate Re
ceives Punishment for Clogging ¦
Wheels of Justice.
George B. Mowry was fined $100 by
the Supreme Court yesterday for mak
ing what is characterized as a "frivo
lous" a*ppeal. It is also stated that an
action for damages should be institut
ed aeainst him. „
v Mowrj% was appointed . executor of
the estate of Simon Straus in 1895.
He managed decedent's hide and tal
iow business successfully, but when
he was requested to make a partial
distribution amounting* to $2000 he
refused and fought the case in court.
The Judge ordered him to pay over
$1500, and he appealed to the Su
preme Court. The last named tri
bunal says that Mowry simply desires
to postpone the final settlement
through . protracted litigation and
that he had no reason whatever for
not agreeing to the oartlal distribu
tion desired.
The fines imposed by the Supreme
Court for frivolous appeals are few
and this method. of punishment is re
sorted to only in. very flagrant cases.

Slow progress is being made in Judge
Dunne's court in securing 'a jury to try
the case of Frederick Tobelmann,
charged with the murder of his wife,
Mary, on April 1. Out of 330 names
drawn from the jury box only six have
as ret been accepted. A venire of 150
was ordered yesterday, returnable next
Wednesday.
The jury in the case of Alexander B.
Garn<=tt. charged with the murder o*f
Major J. W. McClung In the rooms of
Mrs. Elizabeth W. Coit on November
25, after being out twentv-one hours,
brought in a verdict yesterday after
noon of murder in the second degree,
with a recommendation of mercy. The
defendant listened to the verdict apa
thetically. He was ordered to appear
for sentence on September 13, when his
attorney. George D. Collins, will make
a motion for a new trial. The penalty
is from ten years to life imprisonment.
The case has been remarkable for the
numerous, continuances granted the de
fendant on various pretexts and be- j
cause of an evident desire in certain
quarters not to prosecute. At the
preliminary hearing before Police)
Judge Fritz on December 6 and j
7 the defendant was represented j
by Attorney W. H. Alford. After
Garnett was held to answer At- !
torney W. -D. Grady appeared and j
adopted the policy of delay. He was!
successful till the Judge lost patience
and Attorney Collins stepped in to rep- j
resent the defendant. The conviction i
is considered remarkable, considering
the absence of Mrs. Coit and the great
pull for the defendant.
Judge Cook charged the jury yester
day morning in the case of George T.
Querbach on trial for the murder • of
Mrs. Annie Wilson at her residence, 5
Capp street, on November 1. The jury i
retired about 11 o'clock and returned i
about 2 o'clock with a verdict of man- |
slaughter. The penalty is not exceed- j
ing ten years' imprisonment. The de- j
fendant was ordered to appear for sen- |
tence on September 13. It is not con- j
sidered llkelv that an appeal will be '
taken to the Supreme Court. ;

SLATER OF MAJOR J. "W. Mc-
CLl'NG. WHO HAS BEEN CON
VICTED OF MURDER,
Judge Morrow held that the require
ment respecting such deposit was a
regulation in excess of the authority of
the secretary. The regulation in ques
tion provided that no alien desiring ad
mission at a port of the United States
for the professed purpose of proceeding
directly therefrom to. foreign territory
ehall be permitted to. land thereat ex
cept after deposit with 'the Collector
cf Customs at said port by the master
or owner of the vessel on which such
alien is brought of the amount of the
h,ead tax. $2. prescribed by section ¦ 1
of the act approved March 3. 1903. said
amount to be refunded upon proof sat
isfactory to- the. immigration cfflcer|in
charge at the port of arrival that said
alien has passed by direct . and con
tinuous journey through and out of the
United State?. The immigration act
itself expressly provides that the head
tax therein mentioned shall not be
levied upon aliens in transit in the
United States. The court said that the
-Immigration Commissioner had no
power to require, the deposit of the $2,
and had further no power to require
that such aliens shall pass "by direct
and continuous journey through and
out of the United States."
The case was handled on behalf of
the steamship companj- by Frank &
Mansfield.
United States Circuit Judge Morrow
rendered an oral decision yesterday in
favor of the complainant In the suit
of the Oceanic Steamship Company
vertus Frederick S. Stratton as Collec
tor of the Port. The action was
brought to recover $420 deposits ex
torted'from the steamship company by
a regulation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor providing that a de
pesit of $2 per head should be made
by th» company for each alien passen
eer in transit through the United
States.
R. D. Faulkner, principal of the new
Parental School, submitted a report on
the work of the school and the enforce
ment of the compulsory education law
in the canneries/ The report says:
"The total enrollment of this school
since its. organization, July 27, to date
is forty-five, all boys. This number is
now in .daily attendance.. There, .has
been but little truancy and no boy has
been truant to exceed one day. On
Monday I divided the boys into , two
classes, putting a substitute in charge
o-f one class in compliance with orders
previously received from you. As only
one teacher has been assigned to the
school I would recommend- that anoth
er be assigned to begin work after the
vacation, Monday, September 12." . ,
Langdon also reported that the new
course of study has been put into oper
ation throughout the. department and
its efficiency may be already deter
mined to a slight degree although not
so thoroughly as will be revealed by a
year's test.
The deputy superintendents have
been engaged in examining the work
of teachers whose probationary term
has expired in order to determine their
fitness for regular appointment. A re
pr-rt of the result of this examination
will be made during the next two
weeks.

Thomas Magee & Sons^ offered to sell
a lot adjoining the Golde'n Gate Sohool,
on Golden Gate avenue, between Pierce
and Scott streets, for $32,000. A reply
was ordered sent to the effect that the
bond issue allows only $22,700 for th*
purchase of the lot under the City En
gineer's appraisement.
W. W. Stone, principal of the Clement
School, called attention to the fact that
provision should be made under the
bond issue for the purchase of a right
of way in the rear of the school; as a
brick building is being erected back of
the school.

OFFERS TO SELL LOT. .
The Board of Education yesterday,
made a number of assignments of
teachers, five of whom were sent to
new classes.-. The teachers assigned
were: ¦ " .
Clara S. Doolan, to the Sunnyside
School; Cecelia Harnett, Noe Valley
School: Bertha Newman. Dudley Stone
School, new class: Shirley C. Hayes,
Winfield Scott, new class; Elizabeth
Vincent, .Dudley Stone, new class;-An
nie E. 'O'Sullivan, Noe Valley,, new
class; Susan Vincent, Oceanside. new
class.
The soint in the trial here was
the question of his sobriety at the time
of the rumpus which caused his arrest.
The leading witnesses testified that he
was either drunk or crazy, but as none
of them had actually seen him take
an intoxicating drink they could not
say what was the cause of his maudlin
condition or his violent and unseemly
conduct.' He therefore escapes with a
reprimand.
For a few months he apparently be
haved himself, but on his arrival here
last spring on his way to Manila, he
entered into a round • of festivities
which culminated in a sensational
brawl which landed him in the Police
Court, where he was fined $10 by Judge
Mogan on a charge of disturbing the
peace. He left the day after the dis
turbance for Manila, but General Mac-
Arthur, hearing of the scandalous es
capade, cabled to Honolulu to have
him taken from the transport on which
he was a passenger, and sent back here
for trial.-
Captain Frank A. Cook, U. S. A., is
a very lucky man. He will retain his
commission in the army notwithstand
ing the midnight brawl 'in which he
was the principal actor some months
ago in a prominent resort on the corner
of O'Farrell street and Grant avenue. .
He owes the retention of his shoulder
straps to the fact that in all the
evidence introduced at the court
martial, there was nothing elicited to
show that any of the witnesses had
seen him Imbibe an intoxicant.
As it stands now he escapes . from
being dismissed from the army, but at
the same time receives a severe repri
mand from General MacArthur and
the court of high officers in the army
who sat upon the board which tried
him. He was tried last year before
a court-martial for. conduct unbecom
ing an officer and a gentleman and
barely escaped being dismissed from
the army. Upon his assurance that he
would abstain from the use of intoxi
cants, supplemented* by his signing a
pledge to the effect that for three years
he would refrain from using stimu
lants, he was permitted to retain his
commission.
