THE TURNER CASES.
He Will Be Tried on Charges of Gran'
Larceny and Forgery.


Larceny and Forgery
]. F. Turner real estate agent, appeared
in Judge Lows court yesterday afternoon
for his preliminary examination on the
charges preferred against him by ]. P.
Frenna, the Polk-street barber. Turner
has been in the City Prison since his
arrest, about three months ago.
Turner was represented by Attorney
George A. Knight and Frenna by ex-Judge
Dibble
About a week ago Judge Low dismissed
a charge of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses in regard to the Fresno property
There were three other charges against
Turner--one of obtaining money by false
pretenses in connection with the Santa
Cruz property, one of grand larceny and
another of forgery in connection with the
Fresno property.
The forgery is based upon the certificate
of registration of the deed to Frenna, 1t
being alleged that the signature of the Re
corder was forged. 1t is also alleged that
Turner stole this deed from Frenna hence
the charge of grand larceny. Frenna says
that although the deed cannot be found
he has several witnesses who will swear to
having seen the certificate of registration.
There was brief argument between
counsel as to which case should be taken
uD first, and it was decided to take up the
grand larceny charge. Then by mutual
consent the charge of obtaining money by
false pretenses on the Santa Cruz property
was dismissed.
This leaves the grand larceny and forgery
cases to be disposed of, and on those At
torney knight secured a continuance till
tomorrow.

THE QUARANTINE OFFICER.
To BE APPOINTED BY THE STATE
OR BY THE FEDERAL
AUTHORITIES.
Two BILLS ON THE SUBJECT ARE
Now BEFORE THE LEG
STATURE.

The appointment of quarantine officer
is causing considerable comment owing to
the fight that is being made over the matter.
Two bills are before the Legislature-one
providing that the office shall be trans
ferred to the United States authorities and
the other that the appointing power shall
be vested in the Board of Supervisors.
The Governor is in favor of the former
proposition.
The bill abolishing the Office OF State
Quarantine Officer was introduced by limo
thy Guy Phelps, ex-Collector of the Port.
1t re-enacted the old law relating to the
Board of Health, but under the head of
''retrenchment and public expenditure"
the Quara milne Officer and his assistants
were left out in the cold. Section of the
bill provides that:
The State Board of Examiners are hereby
authorized and required to sell at public auc-
ton or at private SALE as they may deem best
the boarding steamer Governor Perkins," un-
less in their opinion it can be properly put to
some other service of the State, and to sell all
other property of whatever kind belonging to
the State, and heretofore used by the Quaran-
tine officer and not needed by the State, and
cover the money received therefrom into the
State Treasury.
This bill passed the Assembly and has
gone to the Senate.
Later on Phelps introduced Joint reso-
luton, which was passed, requesting the
Federal Government to assume control of
maritime quarantine matters at the port of
San Francisco. In accordance with this
Governor Budd has telegraphed to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury REQ uesting the Ma
tional Government to assume control.
AT Angel Island the United States has
established thoroughly equipped quaran-
tine station. A steamer with all the neces-
sary apparatus for fumigating infected yes
sells was built and after a few months of
service was laid up on account of there
being no funds wherewith to pay the nee
essary expenses.
The State also supports a quarantine
service which costs about $4,000 a year.
William M. LAWYER M d., is the head of
the office and the Governor Perkins is the
steamer employed by him in boarding for
eign ships and American vessels coming
from foreign waters. His appointment
lies with the Board of Health and the lat
ter is appointed by the Governor. Conse-
quently when bill was introduced in the
Assembly, seeking to take the appointing
power out of the hands Of the Board Of
Health and vest it in the Board of Super
visors, there was considerable trouble
The latter body is strongly Republican,
and naturally 1t would appoint Republic
can quarantine officer. The whole matter
therefore stands thus: If the United States
will take control of quarantine matters in
San Francisco the State will retire and thus
save $4,000 year. If Uncle Sam will not
do anything in the premises then the State
will have to carry on the service ITSELF
either as an adjunct to the Board of Health
or the Board OF Supervisors.

Secretary Rogers said that a cranky let
ter had been received, but that he doubted
whether the Mayor had read it.
at came on Friday he said, land
was given to the Mayor on Monday. The
meeting was held on the Saturday pre-
vious, so he could not have been frightened
out of attending. The letter has not been

Mayor read my summary of its contents
and then tossed it into the waste-basket.
"The Mayor has not moved his desk into
a dark corner to avoid being shot at by
cranks from the outside, and the only
thing we fear is that some crazy individual
will be urged on to attack him by the
efforts that have been made in certain
quarters to make this simple incident
prominent. 1t is simply making noun

Though Mayor Sutro himself claims to

the strange publicity given the matter will
urge on some crank to commit an assault
on him.

FASTEST LAUNCH
ON THE WATER.
The CRACK STEAM CRAFT WHICH
Is BEING BUILT FOR DIR.
BUCKLEY.
SWIFT LITTLE SATELLITE.
IHE BOAT WILL MAKE ELEVEN
KNOTS AN HoUR-THE
TRIAL TRIP.

The steamer Farallon, which arrived a
few days ago from Puget Sound ports,
brought from Seattle the hull and frame of
launch for DR.. V. P. Buckley, the we'll
known physician of this city A few days
ago the little craft was taken to the Union
Gas-engine Company, where an engine is
now being made for her. The Satellite is
the name of the new launch, and before
the season is over it is predicted that she
will have passed everything in the bay.
The vessel itself is thing of beauty, but it
is her lines which catch the yachtsman's
eye. The graceful sweep of the white
cedar hull, the sharp bow and overhanging
stern give indications of what she can do,
and if the gas engine meets the require
ments, the Satellite will be the fastest boat
of her class on the bay.
The designer of the novel craft, for she
will be novelty in these waters, is r. I.
Engelbrecht, now of Seattle, but formerly
of this city. When only ten years old he
was whiting models of boats, and, al
though his fathers wealth and position
were such as TO give him his choice of
vacations, he wanted nothing better than
a boatshop. He became a crank on the
subject, and has travelled all over the
United States and studied the art of boat
building in the best-known ship and navy
yards.
Last year Dr. Buckley owned the
Hirondel. and Attorney George A. Knight
tried in vain to beat him with the Arrow.
The aquatic attorney vowed to build a
launch that would beat everything the
physician could produce, and he has now
a great bay-sweeper in course of construc-
ton. DR.. Buckley heard of Engelbrecht
and decided TO try him. He became inter
ested in the boat-builder, and was aston
ished when told what he could do. The
result was that contract was given for the
Satellite, and DR.. Buckley is more than
pleased with his bargain.
When completed the launch will be one

She is 356 feet in length over all, but so
beautifully is she proportional that she
does not appear to be more than 25
feet. Her extreme beam is feet s
inches; depth at bow ST. feet, at the

She is copper fastened throughout,
and is the first vessel ever built on the
coast in which plugs have been used in
stead Of putty. Her rails and stanchions
are OF ash and her deck is seven-eighths
inch tir, soaked in hot linseed oil Her in
terror is a gem of art as well as of utility,
and when the furnishings are in place, the

and trustees no such limitations are made.
In other words, if they should be dis
charged and sent to prison for embezzle-
ment in the meantime it would cut them
out of the $4,000, but they would still be
the executors. Now, do you suppose Will
liam M. Pierson drew will like that, ex-
cept at the direct order of somebody? That
provision alone indicates to me that Pier
son never sat down with Fair as his adj
visor in this matter. He simply changed
into his own handwriting something that
was sent to him for that purpose.
Mr.. Goodfellow was Fairs personal
attorney and confidential man. Why did
he not draw the will? 1t would not have
looked right Mr.. Goodfellow knew that
this will would be closely inspected, and
all these questions raised, and he must be
IN position to say i never saw the will /;
did not draw it?'
Did Fair himself write it? Is it likely ?
can Imagine his debating to his secretary
what he wanted incorporated in the will at
different times and having it sent to Pier
son, perhaps, to have it put in legal shape.
And this could be done again and again,
could 1t not? separate clauses being sent to
PlerSon until we have those seven separate
half sheets of legal cap, fourteen pages so
oddly worded, calling for signature at
the foot of each of thirteen pages, but hav-
ing signature at only one, the last of
these thirteen and all of the first eleven
pages, which were unsigned, handing over
the estate to the trustees
eff Pierson had had a consultation with
Fair, don't you suppose he would have
asked DO you wish to have these me II
serve as trustees even though they have
left your service before death and you have
cut them out of the $4,000 legacy?' If
you were building a will and were de-
termined to have it just right, wouldn't
you expect your attorney to call your at
tention to such lapse as that? No, Pier
son never consulted with Fair directly; he
did as he was directed and he did not get
his words from Fair personally.
But the most significant thing in the
whole document is the provision in the
body OF it that no codicil should change
any of the stipulations as to the trust
Now the idea of Jim Fair, if he was in his
right and hard-headed mind, as they say
he was, cutting himself off from the posi-
bility of changing the provisions of his last
will, isn't it beyond reason and very sig
nifcant?"

GRANTED FREE LICENSES.
The Prayers of Several Petitioners
Heard by the Supervisors.

ny thc SupeTNlsOTss
Numerous applicants for free licenses
appeared before the License and Order
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday and presented their cases.
The California Florists and Growers
Association sent a communication re-
questing the board to refuse street flower
vendors free licenses on the ground that, by
reason of their peculiar way of plying their
calling, they were able to undersell the
regular florists, and damaged those who
had large sums invested in the business.
Florence c. Walker, whose card de-
scribes her as a woman editor" of a local
weekly publication, appeared as the repre-
sentative of the street vendors, and asked
that the petition be passed until the next
meeting of the board. This was granted,
and the communication viii come up as
special order of business on Wednesday
next.
Felix Steen was granted a free license
for the unexpIred portion of the present
license term on the showing that he had
been induced by a bogus license collector
to pay 81 90 for an old license number.
Thomas Hayes, an ex-member of the
police force, was granted free license on
representing that he had several mother
less children to support and was unable to
pay the fees.
S. Johnson, who was once prosperous
mechanic and did large amount of sewer
cleaning for the municipality by means of
a mechanical device which failed TO prove
prontable. was granted free license to
peddle fruit.

License Collector, created much amusement

LOUIS STRASSMAN SENTENCED.
Condemned to Seven Years. Imprison-
ment for Perjury

Condemned to Seven Years. Imprison-
ment for Perjury.
Judge Belcher denied a motion for new
trial made by counsel for Louis Strassman
yesterday morning, and then proceeded to
sentence the prisoner to seven years i'm
prisonment in San Quentin for the crime
of perjury, of which he stood convicted.
Strassman was straw bondsman. He
was defended by Carroll Cook, who, when
the prosecution had finished it's case,
moved that the court instruct the jury to
acquit. The motion was denied, the court
giving reasons for the denial and Cook took
exception to the remarks of the Judge in
the presence of the jury. and in great
measure based his motion for a new trial
upon the substance of that exception. In
his opinion Judge Belcher claims it to be
the inherent right OF the court to pass
upon matters of law submitted for judg-
ment, and this right necessarily includes
the power of giving reasons for the courts
