A Lady's Idea of What Constitutes Dis
turbing the Peace.


turbing the Peace.
DR.. +. L. Atkinson was in the Police Court
yesterday charged with disturbing the
peace of Mrs. Adams. The testimony
went to show that the doctor rented a
house near the corner of Seventh and |
streets to Mrs. Adams and her husband.
She paid him $40 advance money, and he
had the house renovated for her.
After everything was in readiness for the
tenants to move in, Mrs. Adams went to
the office of the landlord and told him she
would not take the house. She had re-.
ceived letter from Montana which called
her thither, and asked for the advance
money which she had given the doctor.
The latter explained to her that he had
spent considerable cash in preparing the
house for her. and did not feel Obliged to
return any of the money. He gave her S5,
however. But this did not satisfy Mrs.
Adams, and in the conversation that fol.
lowed Atkinson remarked: Oh it, l
won't pay you another cent
The prosecuting witness claimed that he
afterwards met herself and husband on the
street and used similar language again.
She therefore considered her peace dis
turbed.
Judge Buckley reviewed the case and dis
missed the charge. He said he did not be.
ieve Mrs Adams peace was disturbed on
account of the language used. He recalled
a part of the husbands testimony, in which
the latter said that when his wife came
downstairs after talking with DR.. Atkin-
son, she made the remark that 1.-The doctor
had raised hell" about it.
The Court did not think the expression
used by the defendant amounted to dis
turbance Of Mrs. Adams peace under those
circumstances, and dismissed the case.

METApHoR1cALLY SPEAKING.
A Coroner's Jury Sits on the Body of

A CorOner's jury Sits on the Body of
Yam Foo.
An inquest was held last evening by
Coroner Clark on the remains of Yam Foo,
the Chinaman who committed suicide at
the City Prison on Friday morning. The
deceased murdered Chinaman at Court
land three years ago and then fled.
Sheriff w. R. Mcfarland of San Diego
testified before the jury that he arrested
the deceased and one All Dock about one
month ago on account of an aItercation
which occurred between the two, and in
which Yam Foo was injured. All Dock
had told him (McFarland) that Yam Foo
murdered Gum Bac Lee at Courtland three
years sgo. After the murder Foo escaped
and went to his (Ah Dock's) house at
Stockton and told HIM that he had killed q
Chinaman.
All DOCK said he concealed the murderer
for some time, until he had an opportunity
to get out OF that section of the country
withou. being detected.
After hearing this statement from Ah
Dock, the witness sent a telegram to Chief
OF Police Drew of Sacramento, asking if
Yam Foo was wanted. Chief Drew re-
piled by wire, requesting that Foo be
brought here. During the trip up the
prisoner was continually watching for q
chance to escape, but made no direct at
tempt. He denied having committed the
murder.
Chief of Police Drew testified to having
taken photograph of tie deceased to
Courtland. 1t was identified there by the
Cinnamon as being that of Yam Foo. the
man who murdered Gum B &C Lee.
Officer Rider testified to the fact of his
finding the deceased dead in q cell at the
City Prison on Friday morning, where he
had hung himself with silk sash.
The jury returned verdict to the effect
that the deceased was the murderer of
Gnm Bac Lee, and that he committed
suicide by hanging himself.

THE SWIMMING BATHS.
No Difficulty in Securing an Excellent

No Difficulty in Securing an Excellent
Location.
The committee engaged in securing SUBJ
scriptions to stock for the purpose of estab-
lishing swimming baths in this city has
met with such success, having secured $1O,-
600, that there is no doubt that this great
public convenience will be supplied within
very short time. When a sufficient
amount of stock is subscribed meeting of
the subscribers will be held and corpora
ton formed and location for the baths
selected. Where they will be located is
matter that will rest entirely with the cor
poration.
When the first meeting looking to the
establishment of the baths was held there
was some discussion in regard to location
and there seemed to be an impression that it
would be difficult to find a good location, ex-
cept near the river, and the objection raised
to that was that the water would be muddy
or else it would have to be filtered at a
heavy expense. Since then it has de.
veloped that if there be objections to the
river water good locations may be found
where there are wells of clear, soft water.
fully capable of supplying the demand.
The corporation will doubtless have several
good places to choose from when the pro-
per time arrives.
Mr. Jacob Gebert yesterday stated to a
representative of the RECORD UNION that he
was warmly in favor of the establishment
OF the baths and wanted to see the plan
succeed. He had already subscribed 500
and would take more stock if it was neces.
sary, no matter where the baths were To-
Gated, for he believed they would pay if To-
Gated almost any place within the CITY
limits. When the proper time arrived.
however, he proposed to call the attention
OF the corporation to his half block on the
corner of Twenty first and o streets, which
he believed for various reasons, possessed
more advantages than any other site in the
city. He was ready to sell the lot at low
prlce, or lease 1t for term of years at nom-
nal rental, or build the bath-house upon it
and rent the whole thing. and at the same
time pump all the water at cost For this
purpose he has excellent facilities on the
block below, where he has one of the finest
steel boilers in the city, with heavy
pumping machinery, located over a practi-
cally inexhaostible well of clear. soft
water. The ground is high, and is con-
nected by four stone sewers with the main
sewer, so that the drainage would be per.
feet. 1t is located on the line of the street
railway and is easily accessible from all
parts of the city. In fact, Mr.. Gebert thinks
he can offer more inducements than any,
one else. But, as stated, the question of
location is one that must be settled by the
corporation after its organization, and it
will probably be settled on pure business
principles.

cerity. but its scheme, so far as bathing
and raising the hight of the pond is con.
cerned, is impossible and visionary.
The sheet of water referred to is private
(: property in the main. Probably $4,000
would not buy it, certainly 100000 would
not reclaim u as suggested. The pond
Is fed from the bottom by sipage, and
never can be healthfal for bathing, and to re-
pleDish 1t from the American river will not
tend to make it attractive, ani the cost of
such piping as is suggested would be enor-
nous.
The work outlined could not be accom-
piished in three years time But if it
could, it would be folly, so long as China
town remains where it does People of
cities in this country do not bathe in ponds
In the heart of cities or towns, or make
public exhibitions of themselves in the
open 10 cities, whatever they may do at
the seaside.
Moreover, pond bathing would be linz
tied to the few and shut ont the many
those VINO will not or cannot bathe in the
open air and in cold water; and would de-
bar the ladies and the children from using
It. The pond would be nearly as dangerous
IN Its depths as is the river. To erect
bathing-houses with tanks for swimming
and with hot and cold water over the
pond" would cost more than to build on
solid ground.
In short. our correspondents scheme Is
out of the question. However, years ago
the RECORD UNION agitated the question of
condemning Chinatown. cleaning Lake
Como" grassing the banks. and making il
pleasant to the eve. Unless it is filled that
ought to be done, but it will not be until the
present
