A BRITON'S WOES
An Innocent Man Jailed
for Two Months.
He Loses Two Hundred Dollars
Wages and Also His Job
as a Sailor.

About two months ago the policemen
who ratrol the water front at night found
q sailor lying on one OF the wharves seri-
ously wounded. They sent for the patrol
wagon TO convey the man to the Receiving
Hospital, and while awaiting its arrival q
crowd OF sailors approached the officers and
the wounded man, and one of them-an
Englishman named w. II. Smith-rec0g-
nized the injured seaman as shipmate.
Smith told the officers that the wounded
mans name was Maurice Powers and
kneelipg beside the man Smith tried to get
him to tell how he had been injured and
who it was that injured him. Powers
finally opened his eyes and declared that
Smith, who was kneeling beside him. was
the party who had cut him. Smith was
thereupon arrested, protesting his inno-
cence and was taken to the City Prison.
while Powers was first take n TO the Receiy-
ing Hospital end then transferred TO the
Marine Hospital.
Powers wounds proved more serious than
was at first imagined, and resulted in the
loss of his right arm. For seven long weeks
Smith was kept in the City Jail. all the time
demanding a trial and protesting his limo
cence. His story was to the effect that lie
had not seen Powers on the night the latter
was injured until he found him lying on
the dock. and then he tried 10 aid his
wounded shipmate, only to be arrested for
an attempt upon the life of the man ne was
trying to help
So impressed did Judge Campbell become
with the story told by Smith as day after day
he was brought into court and begged Tor
trial. only to have the case continued and
be sent back to his cell, that finally his
Honor with the Prosecuting Attorney went
to the Marine Hospital. where they exam-
ined Powers, and his evidence completely ex-
onerated Smith. the wounded man admitting
that he did not know who IL was that cut
him, or where he was when he was injured.
Yesterday the case against Smith was dis
missed and the man set free, but he was
turned adrift in this city without friends or
money and without employment alter hav-
ing been unjustly incarcerated for TWO
months in the foul prison of the old City
Hall.
worse hardship was worked upon him
in that he has lost 500 wages due him. lie
shipped for a r0und-trip voyage, TO be paid
off in England. but, being in jail when the
ship sailed il was impossible for him to JOIN
1t, and consequently lie loses all the mouey
he earned on the voyage over.
Smiths case was called III court time and
time again. and he was not only always
ready for trial, but anxious TO have a hear
ing. Being without money. however, he
was constantly sent below" and now, after
suffering two months Imprisonment for a
crime lie never committed, and losing $500
hard Learned money, he is turned adrift with
no other satisfaction than that OF having
experienced law and justice as IL is doled
out in our Police Courts.

in NEED OF CASH.
Short of Money at the
Union Mission.
Homeless Men Are Compelled to Sleep
on the Floor for Lack of
Beds.

The work of the Christian Union Is still
progressing very rapidly. but this cannot
last long. as Mrs. Frank French, the chair
woman of the lady mana gers from the twenty
various churches Of this city, told CALL
representative yesterday Mrs. French
said that the mission was entirely without
means TO provide beds for the three hundre
or more poor unfOrtunates who sleep on
the floor every night. "Of course" said
Mrs French. that Is better than they have
been used to, but we do not like to see the
poor fellows get sick from the cold. 1t was
only the other night that one man was taken
down with pneumonia aud had to be sent to
the City and County Hospital.
NOW, what we want is money enough
to procure beds the same as the sixty that
we have. We need about 300 of them,
which can be obtained at cost of So each.
The people OF this city, whether generously
inclined or not, cannot help but observe the
good work the mission is doing, and ii they
would just start subscription so as TO help
the mission out Of this predcament they
would be doing An act OF charity.
''W hen these beds are procured the men
who sleep in them will be required to battle
themselves and keep clean, and every night
when they get into bed their clothes will be
put through steam heating process, which
VIII destroy any vermla Whlch may nave
collected thereon"
Steve Holcomb. the man ager of the mis-
sion, has decided to try an experiment which
will materially assist in helping the mission
out Of its financial straits. The basement
of the Bijou Theater, where the mission is
situated. will be turned into laundry.
where instead of housewives giving their
washing to the Chinese they will be doing
an act of charity by giving II to the mission.
''Some people," said Mr. HOlcomh, "have
an idea that all the men who come to cur
place are dirty trampS. drunRards, ETC.
That is wrong impression. Many of the
men who come here are sBilful and indus
trous mechanics and workmen, who,
through lack OF employment. are without
funds. On inquiry among the men we
found that some Of them are neat
laundrymen, and those are the men whom
we will put TO work in the new addition"
Mr.. Holeonb can be found at any hour OF
the day or night at the mission, where all
subscriptions, no matter b Nv small, will be
thankfully received. He is also ready to
show visitors through the mission. to con-
vince them Of the good work which is being
dune.
