MANHATTAN q" IMCONTEMPT
Taber Brothers Seek to Have the
Officials Punished.
Judge Gildersleeve Hears Argument
and Reserves Decision.

Judge Gildersleeve, of the superior
a motion made by Lawyer John Il.
Parsons, counsel for Tuber Bros, Of
Pearl and Wall streets. to punish the
officials OF the Manhattan Elevated
Railway Company for contempt OF
Court for what MIR. Parsons character
lied as "a fragrant and deliberate vio-
lation of an injunction of the Court
restraining them from operating their
road until they had paid judgment
for $4,000 awarded the Tabers."
The Tabers have been at loggerheads
with the Railroad Company since 1873.
when the Elevated structure was
erected In front Of theif premises.
Litigation began In 1884 when the Rail
road Company attempted to acquire title
TO the easements. Since then the matter
has been almost continuously I'm the
courts, and the printed record OF the
voluminous litigation makes a book of
more than one thousand pages. The suit
did not come actually to trial until 1898,
Freedman's time trying the case, which,
as stated. resulted In Il judgment for the
Tabers.
Before the trial OF the case the Rail
proceedings in the Supreme Court
Col. II. &. James appeared for the
Railroad Company. He contended
that the Supreme Court had absolute
authority and jurisdiction In condemna-
ton proceedings, and that the fact that
such proceedings were pending In the
Supreme Court when the injunction
was issued by the Superior Court
acted ms stay to the injunction and
relieved the officers OF the Company OF
being guilty Of contempt OF Court.
Much Of the past litigation OF the
parties was gone over at length by the
counsel.

MRS. G.. II. WEBB'S CONDITION.

Win an ACCIDENT.
Oaa siderable commiseraiion is being
expressed for the fate of Mrs. c. II. Webb,
one of the champion lady swimmers of
this coast, who was seriously injured
while bathing in the bay short time ago.
Mrs. Webb is a light little woman.
weighing not more than 110 pounds, and,
in spite Of being no longer in the first
youth, she has always been as active as a
young girl until quite recently. In addi-
ton to being the proud possessor of sew

KEARNY STREET.
There Is Some Hope That II Will
Be in Shape Shortly.

bC III oudpC SuOTttys
The work on Kearny street has not been
progressing sufficiently of late to suit the
business men along that thoroughfare.
The railroad company has nearly sue
ceeded in illuminating its portion Of the
street, but there has been practically moth
ing done toward completing the rest Of
the thoroughfare. The work has been at
standstiil and the merchants are COM
planning over the bad condition of the
street as a detriment to their business.
The city had purposed to pave that por-
ton which was not TO be bitumlalZed by
the railroad, but the Merchants Assocla-
ton interposed and promised to bltumen
1t, providing that the city would bear a
part of the expense. This proposition the
city authorities, in an unoheial way, ac-
ceded to, but the Merchants Association
resolved not to push the work until IL had
a specified contract with the City Fathers.
This contract theJ did not receive until
last Monday.
4 prominent mem ber of the association
when seen yesterday IN regard to the
Kearny-stTeet improvement SAID: Yes,
we are now all ready to go ahead with
the work. We were somewhat hIndered
in beginning our undertaking. We did
not feel able to take hold of the job until
we had written guarantee from the
city that they would bear portion of th e
burden. This assurance we received on
Monday, when the Supervisors passed the
ordinance authorizing the contractors to
complete the work Instituted by the rail-
road.

Commissioners have had three persons

On Wednesday Gus G. Sandick was
taken before the Commissioners. Sandick
was arrested in July last by Detective
Seymour for passing forged certified checks
on several wholesale Fl ms in payment of
goods purchased by him. The checks
bore the certified stamp of the Bank of
California aud the forged signature of
Thomas Brown. the cashier
Sandick came here from Chicago and he
stated that be had procured the bank

When taken before Judge Joachimsen
for his preliminary examination the plea
of insanity was raised and be was re-
manded for examination before the COM
missioners. 1t was stated that hs had
twice before been confined In a lunatc
asylum. At that time the Commissioners
deemed hin: sane. and on July 81 be was
held 10 answer before the Superior Court
on three charges Of forgery. He was sent
TO the County jail to await mis- trial, ana

his attorney had him taken before the
Commissioners again, and they decided. he
was insane. He was removed to the Re-
ceiying Hos pital. and yesterday morning
was sent to the Ukah Asylum.
Yesterday Mrs. Lydia Popp Wilson.
charged with the murder of her husband,
appeared before the Commissioners. Mrs.
Eiizabeth Mckinley, constah visitor at
the City Prison, told the Commissioners
that Mrs. W ilson since her arrest had been
acting strangely and her conduct was such
as to warrant the belief that she was in
sane.
Several acQuaintances of the prisoner
were called as witnesses. but they all ies-
tilted that they had never considered her
insane. Mrs. Wilson remained quiet dur
ing the proceedings, and there was Moth
ine in her demeanOr 10 suggest that she
was not perfectly sane.
The Commissioners decided to remand
her to the custody Of the police, remarkng
that it would be time enough to inquire
in TO her mental condition when she was
held to answer.
John Shea was also before the Commits
sioners yesterday, and they decided that he
was not insane. He was accordingly sent
back TO the City Prison. Shea. who is a
peddler, was arrested for trying TO kill his
mother and sisters with an ak. He was
only charged with disturbing the peace.

PLENTY OF TEACHERS.
No Need Of Eastern Educators to
Come TO This Coast.


"For every educational position In the
State Of California there are two appli-
cants," says Fred NJ. Campbell speaking
of the surplus Of school teachers on the
coast.
NEARLY every school has its lists
of substitutes, many Of them never re-
ceiving day of employment. The supply
is constantly increasing and educational
channels are overaowing with compe tent
graduates of normal schools who seek
positions that do not exist.
Il cannot understand why it is neees
sary to sent East for single teacher when
we have such an enormous SUI DIV RIGHT

Campbell. We have three State normal |
schools, two universities, and a normal
class in San Francisco, all grs duating COM
petent teachers semi-annually, 10 saw
nothing Of ffty-seven county boards who
issue teachers certificates semi-annually.
This outpOt of teachers is constantly going
on and yet teachers come from the East
seeking positions in California. field that
offers them 10 advantages whatever as it
cannot find employment for its own grad
yates. There are very few demands for
Instructors and the calls are constantly
growing less.
Il certainly think il is a good thing to
increase the educated population by turn
ing out all The graduates possible, but this
can be accomplished ia the public schools.
When a young man or woman goes to a
university or a normal school il is gener-
ally with a view to becoming an instructor,
and the course is adopted as means of
furnishing and rounding off an excellent
education by adding a little OF the prac-
tical experience.

brilliant faculties. and there Is no reason
why the educational standard should not
be very high among the graduates.
