a place because he was One-half hour

?. J. Refill, drunk and disorderly, s..
E. Racket. Eugene Tabor and Willie
Van Slick, three boys under seventeen
years of age, were run in for vag-
rancy. The boys are said to be
in the habit of loafing around
theGSan Pedro park. They all have
parents in the city who stated that the
boys are living at their homes. Their
cases were dismissed as two are attending

John McGee, the pistol toter, who

who insulted women and stuck his gun in
mans face. and who is reported as an
alI-around tough, turns out to be boy
abOud seventeen or eighteen years old,
very green, and appears to have slept in a
hay-stack lately. He was out to have a
a little fun with another young friend.
They got drunk and consequently tough.
They inSulted some young girls, and the
man who was with the girls proceeded to
resent the insult. MCGEE pulled his gun
on him. the man grabbed the boy, threw
him down and took the gun away from
him and then turned him over TO the
special policeman at San Pedro park.
The judge fined him 800, and gave him
30 DAYS, which will keep him out of
trouble for a short time at least.
Joseph Spence, soldier belonging to
F company. 9TH infantry. was fined s. for
being drunk and disorderly.
j. c. Dale, drunk and down, 50.
The partner of John McGee has not as
yet been found.

THE alice CASE.
Testimony Yesterday and Witnesses
Examined this MOrninS.

Yesterday at the resumption of the evil
dence in Alice habeas corpus, Capt. Alonzo
Mllet was the first witness called. He
requested the judge not to allow the law
yer for the defense to interrOgate him.
They had not spoken to each other for a
long time and he wished to be relieved of
the embarrassment. The Judge over
ruled and promised only strictly business
questions should be asked. He then teS-
tefed that Alice said if Bowen put his
name in the paper again, he would hunt
him like a coyote.
]. C. Hardness next testified and was
followed by Blair Harry, Ben Darlington,
Mr.. Harris and Henry King.
This morning MeSSrs. Miller, Hume,
Thomas, Harris, Babbitt and Mrs. Alice
were put on the witness stand and their
testimony taken. There were no new
facts brought out. The principal attempt
on the part of the defense seemed to be in
rebuttaI of the prosecution and certain
testimony taken in the hearing before
Judge Dove.

What the People are Saying.


The published report of Architect Giles
upon the condition Of the high school
| building, suggests so many possibilities
of danger from defects discovered that it
becomes the immediate duty of the city
government to thoroughly overhaul the
| structure.
The natural inquiry is, what has be-
come of City Architect Kramer: he is
paid a salary as city architect, yet an
outside architect is employed to examine
a public building.
Mr.. Kramer may be incapacitated by
Illness from attending his duties, but he
figures in the last financial statement as
drawing. his salary with commendable
punctuality.
The high school building is a boon from
the French administration, and it can be
shown that the city administration then
in power, were crlminally negligent in
not needing the repeated warnings and
suggestions of the architect entrusted
with the completion of the building.
The specifications were very faulty and
the frail character of the work provided
for was pointed out to the city authOri-
ties during the construction.
Architect DobSon. man of genius in
his line, drew the plans and Specitica
tions, but in this instance paid slight at
tention to details and prepared the plans
for cheap structure.
A building to hold several hundred
children should have been beyond perad
venture safe structure, but despite the
warnings of the architect who finally
supervised the building, Mr.. Wahrenberg-
er, the building committee would make no
changes: the contractor, Mr.. Jas. Muir
ply did better work than the spectica-
lions called for, and precautions were
taken despite the Indifference of the city
officials.
But now we have another city building
that is already proving to be an eye-sOre
by reason of its faulty construction, due
to the inability of the present admininiS-
tratiOn to undertake such an enterprise
the new city hall.
The high school building was finished
within the appropriation made for the
purpose: the city hall will cost SiXtyfVe
or seventy per cent more than the APP
preparation voted and the contract
price.

There is no such luck as the building
falling down as it is substantial enough,
but some future, intelligent city admins

whole thing remOdeled.
