LIFE OF DISTINGUISHED
ATTORNEY COMES TO END
T. B. Bishop Passes
Away After Illness ,
of Months.
Lays Down Burdens at
Ripe Age, Leaving
Great Name.
Bench and Bar Affected
by Demise of One
Beloved.
Thomas B. Bishop, one of the leading
members of the -bar of California dur
ing the last half a century, passed away
early Tuesday morning at his home. He
had been ill for some weeks. He was
born in East Providence. R. 1., in 1841;
graduated from Brown University and
the Albany Law School, and, after his
admission to the bar, came to Califor
nia in July, 1864. when he formed an
association with Nathan Porter, the
senior member of the firm of Porter &
Holladay. and in 1876 a partnership was
formed between himself and Judge John
Garber and the late Colonel Harry I.
Thornton. This firm was known as
Garber, Thornton & Bishop. Upon the
death of Colonel Harry I. Thornton the
firm name was changed to Garber &
Bishop. Then Judge John, H. Boalt was
taken in and the firm again changed to
Garber, Boalt & Bishop. After John H.
Boalfs death Charles S. Wheeler be
came a member of the firm, which was
then known as Bishop & Wheeler up to
1896, when the name again changed to
Bishop. Wheeler & Hoefler.
Mr. Bishop was a member of the Pa
cific Union. Bohemian, Union League,
San Francisco and Press clubs, though
he spent the most of his leisure time at
home. He was a liberal patron of art
and had quite a collection of valuable
works, including a number of fine oriental
rugs.
He invested his money with good judg
ment in various enterprises, among which
was the Pacific Improvement Company.
L. M. Hoefler, his surviving partner,
said yesterday:
Mr. Bishop was a man of great mental
strength and of untiring industry. He was
of most genial disposition and particularly
kind and indulgent to the younger members
of the bar, who will all mourn the loss the bar
has sustained in his death.
Chief Justice Beatty said only a few days
ago that he regarded Mr. Bishop as one of the
greatest lawyers that the bar of California had
produced. It can be truthfully eaid that he
was In a lance proDortion of the cases of
importance during the last forty years.
L.KAVES OXE MII.MU.V
The ostate is not as large as popu
larly supposed. It does not exceed
$1,000,000, and consists of city property
and many ranch properties in the vari
ous parts of the State of California and
In Mexico.
Mr. Bishop leaves a widow, Mrs. Jose
phine Hall Bishop, a daughter of Pro
fessor Hall, who was for over, forty
years the State Geologist of the State
of New York, and four sons. Two of
them, James 11. Bishop and Thomas P.
Bishop, are practicing lawyers, and the
other two, Frank -Bishop and Edward
Bishop, are looking after the various
interests of their late father and in
tend to devote their lives to farming
and agricultural interests.
The funeral will take place from the
late residence of Mr. Bishop, 2309
Washington street, on Friday. The of
fices of the firm of which Mr. Bishop
was a member were closed yesterday.
COURTS SHOW RESPECT.
On the calling of the case of Lewis
vs. Potter in Judge Seawell's court W.
B. Treadwell addressed the court as
follows:
May it* pleaee the court : It is my painful
fluty to announce that Thomas B. Bishop, one
or the Dlaintlffs in this case, died last night.
Under these circumstances we, of course, can
not Droeeed with this pase at this time.
My lone and Intimate acquaintance with
Mr. -Bishop, however, impels me to say some
thlhsr more. His personal character was such
that all those who knew him were his friends.
His standing at the bar. and the work he
did as a lawyer for so many years, were such
that I am sure the court will agree with m«
when I say that his death Is felt by all of
us as a oersonal loss, by the court not less
than by the members of the bar.
Mr Bishop said to me only a few days ago
that 'the work of a lawyer is such that no
matter how earnestly he may labor, no matter
how much Rood he may feel that he has ac
complished, yet his name is written in water.
In order that we may do the little we can
to show that It is not so in this case and
that wa gball not be forgetful of Mr. Bishop
I move that the court do now adjourn out of
respect to his memory-
Judge Seawell then responded as fol
lows:
I concur in all that has been said by the
gentleman who has Just addressed the court.
I have known Mr. Bishop for a great many
years. Indeed ever since he came to California.
Tfcere is no member "of the bar for whom I
had a higher regard or a kinder feeling. While
I knew that be had been in falling. health for
twine time past, it has been a great shock to
me to hear this morning of his d«ath.
Tfce order of the court will be that it now
adjourn In honor of the memory of Thomas
B. Bishop.
Judge Hebbard adjourned Depart
ment No. 4 of the Superior Court. out
of respect to the memory of Mr. Bishop.
Judge Troutt paid a similar tribute to
the respect of the dead.

JURY INDIGTS
EIKERENKOTTER
Superintendent of San Mateo
• County Poor Farm Accused
of Perjury by Inquisitors
SCORED IN THE EEPORT
Official Said to ; Have Taken
Funds and Otherwise
Acted in Crooked Planner
> REDWOOD CITY, Feb. ,7.— The scan
dal over the management of the Poor
Farm and Hospital of this county ended
tuls afternoon by . the . Grand 'Jury
bringing in a .true bill against "Albert
Kikerenkotter, superintendent of ; the
farm, (charging him with! perjury com
mitted while he was under examination
before the jury. • He was asked under
oathiif if were not true that ho broke'
a colt. belonging to one W.'.Hunterville
of : San Mateo and he ""answered ".No."'
The jury was? satisfied [to the contrary.
Judge Buck fixed the defendant's bail
at $1000 and ordered the clerk ;to im
mediately issue -a', bench. .warrant and
place it in the. hands of the Sheriff for
service.
Late this afternoon the jury made
its report to Judge! Buck and was dis
charged..;in accepting the. report the
Judge said : "If : all i the public officers
of ..the county ".were as conscientious as
they were their duties would have been
much lighter." r • \u25a0\u25a0:.'\u25a0
Judge Buck declared that it had come
to ; his 'knowledge . that the jury had
been approached and influence had. been
used upon the - members to . prevent
their -taking any action against the
nickel-in-the-slot. machines; that even
a county official had used his influence
in behalf of the machines. "Whatever
action you took," said the court, "made
little difference, as the State law fully
covered the matter and I would see
that the law was enforced."
SCORES EIKERENKOTTER.
: The ? jury 'reported against the use of
the!county roads for, railroad purposes
and recommended that all railroads be
required to acquire private rights of
way. .It scored Albert Eikerenkotter,
superintendent of the County Poor
Farm and Hospital, and his, manage
ment, declaring, him incompetent and
mentally 'incapable of committing any
crime for which he should be "convicted.
Concerning Eikerenkotter the report
says: ..
This body met at the county poor 'farm on
November 27, l!) 05. After the usual Individual
inspection a formal meeting was called. Su
perintendent-Eikerenkotter was closely ques
tioned. 1 His answers to such questions as were
put to " him were unsatisfactory and mislead
ing disclosing , incompetency and gross neglect
of hls< duties, a condition of -affairs that is a
disgrace to Eikerenkotter and \u25a0. reflects upon
the Supervisors, who are responsible .for his
Incompetency. .; . \u25a0
His books are npt properly kept, no entries
being' made of - numerous items amounting In
value to over $750. Bills are not properly
kept and verified' and no \u25a0•" Inventory of the
county's property ha»been filed for the years
1903 and 1905. .
For; the year 1005. the cost, was 53.7 cents
a day for each inmate.- an Increase of 10 cents
over the -\u25a0 previous year. . and making a grand
total of $6177 86. • .
' -Numerous : visitors "are entertained with all
the delicacies, in season . and out. while the
food given the Inmates Is of a coarse quality.
The scandalous condition at this institution is
a disgrace to this ;county. ~ - - \u25a0 -
As: a tonic for the Inmates Eikerenkotter
recommended coal oil. It Is to be presumed
that, the barrel of . whisky ; furnished the farm
is consumed by the > superintendent as a tonic.

One hundred and seventy thoroughbred hens,
which | cost $32 a month to feed, become mere
scrubs, that do not produce. When . Eikeren
kotter explained to this body . why the in
mates are not occasionally i given eggs it was
learned ithat. the farm cows never have calves
and the farm milk never. yields butter. These
same cows are costing the . taxpayers , over. $5
a. day; according to Elkenerkotter's testimony
