P00L-MAKER FUTILE.
A Serious Defect Is Said to Exist in the
ComnInint Against Him.

A Serious Defect Is Said to Exist in tho
Complaint Against Him.
Judge RiXs courtroom was crowded yes
terday morning with an interested and ex-
pectant crowd. composed largely of book
makers and members of the sporting frater-
nifty, who had come TO watch the case OF
George T. futile, the pOol-rOOm operator,
arrested for violating Ordinance 1861. The
spectators were visibly disappointed when
the case was ordered continued until Mon
day, upon the statement of Garrett McIn-
erIy, as counsel for the defendant that his
associates, Knight aud Foote, were engaged
in the Superior Court.
1t is stated that futile is confident thai
his case will be dismissed, because he sold
no pools on Tuesday. The complaint is
based upon Paragraph g Section l, of the
statute. for "willfu!ly and unlawfully sell
ing pool and making up a certain book,
list and memorandum. The defendant
claims that if he simply held bet he should
have been arrested under the fourth para
graph of Section l, which forbidS any one
to receive any money, or anything repre-
sentng money, or any article OF value as a
bet or hazard upon the event Of any contest
or contingent ISSUE"
The defect in the complaint may result in
the dismissal OF tho charge, in which event
one Of the pOOl-roOmS Will probably be re-
ope ned to arrange for another test case. On
the other hand it is said that if Judge Rix
sustains the new ordinance by imposing a
fine Tuttle's attorney will further test the
validity OF the law by refusing to pay the
tine and applying for a writ of habeas
corpus to the Supreme Court, thus inSuring
an earlier hearing than if the case was ap-
pealed to the superior Court.

Chile.

The news from this country is not of a
startling nature and none of it in the Star
and Herald was received later than January
Goth. At Pisagua the rebel forces levied in
duties 100000, and they expected to raise
100000 i'll AntOfagasta.
An lquique editor thus wrote on January
Goth: The CachapOal ordered the authori-
ties at Caleta Bueua to hand over the port.
The authorities answered, Land and take

left the port"

FRANK MOORE,S $3.50.
How Police Court Practitioner Disposed
of Client,a Money.

VI q
The case of Frank Moore, alias Queen,
charged with grand larceny for picking the
pocket of Mrs. Catherine Kelly of SIG, was
continued yesterday by Police Judge Morley
until Tomorrow, owing to the absence of
the prosecuting witness, for whose arrest
bench warrant was ordered issued.
Moore complains strongly of the cOnduc t
of Michael Coffey, a Police Court pract-
TONER, whom he had retained to defend
him. He says he instructed Cotfey to obtain
$3.50 from his wife (MoOre's), and bring the
money to him at the City Prison. Mrs.
Moore gave Coffey this amount, and Coffey
at once proceeded to gamble it off in saloon
near the prison.
Coffey acknowledges the receipt of the
$3.50, but claims that he was to eXpend it in
buying off Mrs. Kelly from appearing
against his client He decided not to do so,
however, and spent the money on himself.

to be laatahle. The s0leS, to which the
term English" is prefXed By courtesy
are fairly plentiful in the market. and
these fish, with tue founders ana me
smells, have been the main stay of the fish
dealers during the heavy demand Of the
last few weeks. Nearly all the sOles are
caught on the sandy shoals around the
Heads, or are sent up to market by Wells,
Fargo's express from Monterey. The fish
ing steamers can make the run from
Monterey in eight hours, but it is found
more profitable and more convenient to
have the supply sent by rail.
sMELTs AND PERCH.
Smells are more plentiful than usual in
the bay at this season, and yet the supply
has not been equal to the demand. The
Oakland and Alameda shores furnish the
chief source of supply, but when the
weather permits, much better days catch
can be had in Bolinas Bay. the fishermen
have not been able to get out at all for two
weeks, and therefore the smelts in the
market to-day are almost entirely bay
Smelts.
Surf perch and black perch, both of which
are rlassed by the dealers as common fish"
have followed tue general rule Of scarcity.
They swarm along the bay shores from
Hunters Point to Fort Point, but the catch
has not equaled the demand.
"COMMoN" FISH.
Even those very common" fish, which
epicures recommend to be thrown away,
namely the carp, sucker and catfish, have
been LETT to their liberty in the ooze of the
Sacramento, because Of the uncertainty of
venture out on the fisherman's part during

moderate quantities, but both striped and
