TREADWELL IN CONTEMPT.
Judge Joachimsen and a Wel1-Known
Attorney Create an Exciting
Scene.

Judge Joachimsen and ex-Judge A. B.
Treadwell locked horns yesterday after
noon, resulting in the latter being adiudged
guilty of contempt of court and ordered to
be sent to the County Jail for twenty-four
hours.
The case of William Lynch, China
town guide, charged with procuring
woman to give an indecent exhibition,
was being tried before jury. Treadwell
appeared as attorney for the defendant.
He rose to argue certain propositions and
the Judge ordered him to sit down.
Treadwell continued his argument,
when the Judge said sternly, "Sit down,
sir" Treadwell did not sit down and was
protesting against the command when the
Judge said: II will adjudge you guilty of
contempt of court and will sentence you to
twenty-four hours in the County Jail. "
There was a scene of excitement in court,
which was intensified when the Judge or
dered Sergeant Duncan to place TreadweU
under arrest and take him to the City
Prison. Treadwell was taken to the prison
and the Sheriff was notified. The Judge
dismissed the jury and ordered them to be
in attendance this afternoon.
Meantime friends of Treadwell urged
him to apologize to the Judge, but he re-
fused. After half an hour Prosecuting At
torney Dare prevailed upon him to see the
Judge, and he made an explanation, which
the Judge accepted as satisfactory. The
order committing him for contempt was
accordingly withdrawn.

4 VERY BRILLIANT AFFAIR,
Opening of the Louvre at Mar
ket and O'Farrell Streets
Tomorrow.
Finish Which SURPRISES the De-
mands of the Most Aristo-
cratic Taste.

San Francisco, once noted for its miners
huts and temporary wooden structures,
where the adventurer existed, has of late
years become famous for the princely &C
commodations for its guests. The City
numbers several trst-class restaurants, and
as peer OF the best stands the old Louvre.
This beautiful place, located at the gore OF
the Phelan building in the basement, will
be opened tomorrow evening. Such
achievements OF artistic taste, elegance of
appointments and lavish expenditure
should more often constitute the assign
ment of the descriptive writer.
Everything throughout is massive and
enduring, and will look as we'll fifty years
from now as 1t does to-day. The architect
of the place was William Curlett, and the
finish and furnishings of special design
were executed by Bader d Fincke.
The private dining-rooms are dream of
beauty well furnished, lighted and venti-
lated. The lncandeScent electric-light sys-
tenn, introduced by the Western Light and
Power Company, is itself notable. The
kitchen is completely shut off from the
dining-rooms and provided with canopy
tiues to carry away all the steam and odors
from the range.
Pabst Milwaukee lager beer. which main
talnS the leading favor here it receives in
other cities OF this country, will be served.
The proprietors of the Louvre are Gus
Schwarz and Adolph Beth. The former
gentleman for many years was in business
on Market street, near Mason, where he
acquired a big circle of friends as we'll as a
fortune, while Adolph Beth is best known
as the proprietor of the Post Kellar, many
years popular place at Post and Kearny
streets. A continuation of the care and
oversight of these gentlemen, united with
their affable manners, which made their
former places so popular, will give the old
Louvre widespread popularity

Superior Court.
The preliminary examination of J. G.
Davis of Rochester, n Y, charged with
passing fictitious check for 5000 upon
Jacob Macowsky, ieweler, Kearny street,
was concluded before Judge Joachimsen
yesterday.
The check, or draft, was drawn upon the
american Exchange Bank, New York, -
and S.P. Smith, assistant cashier of the Bank
of California, testified that there was no such
bank in New York. Captain Lees also tes-
tilted that Davis had admitted to him that
the draft forms were purchased by him
from Upton Bros. on Montgomery. street.
Attorney Frank NJ. Stone moved for a
dismissal, which the Judge denied and
held Davis to answer before the Superior
Court in $1,000 bonds.
Another case of similar nature against
Davis, in which W. K. Vanderslice 81 Co.,
jewellers, are the complaining witnesses,
was continued until Tuesday.

THE TELEGRAPH TAX.

A short time ago the Board of Super
visors passed the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the opinion of the City and
County Attorney is hereby requested as TO the
power of this board to impose q municipal
incense upon telegraph companies, and if SO,
whether the board can fix stated sum pei
quarter, the said companies using the public
streets for the erection of poles and in the

In answer thereto City and County At
torney Creswell sent down the opinion
yesterday, in which he quotes the opinion
of the Supreme Court of the United States
in a case presenting the same question
from the city of Mobile, in which it is held
that to do so would be contrary to the pro-
vision of the constitution which gives TO
Congress alone to regulate interstate COM
merce.
In conclusion it says:
In our opinion y no State has the
right to lay tax on interstate commerce in
any form, whether by way of duties laid on the
transportation OF the subjects of that commerce
or on the receipts derived from that transpor-
tatfon, or on the occupation or business of
carrying it on, and the reason is that such tax
alton is burden on that commerce and
amounts to a regulation of it, which belongs
solely to Congress. We may here re-
peat what we have so often said before, that
this exemption ofinterstate and foreign COM
meree from State regulation does not prevent
the State from taxing the property of those en-
gagged in such commerce located within the
State as the property of other citizens is taxed

your independent action in leading,
on your own responsibility, the move
ment for better service will not necessi-
tate the severance of your relations with

for mutual protection is essentially the

on the Atlantic seaboard to resist the

usages, inattention to complaints, imposi-
tions incompatible with liberty and prog
ress-all that is implied in the idea of
espotism-induced our ancestors to declare
their independence. All the world admires

tends his rights, and hence the associations

was owing to the radically differing modes
of organization in the two competing con-
Germs. No plan had been devised, he said,
at the recent conferences by which COM
binatlon of interests could be effected
without one of the associations surren-
dering its distinctive methods. The Chi
cago Associated Press is cooperative
partnership, in which each paper, re-
eardless of its importance, has a voice in
the management equal to that of the big
Chicago dailies. The United Press is
purely a business concern, which buys and
q sells news, although it is actually con-
trolIed by the principal New York papers.
Mr.. Phillips is confident that the United
Press Will eventually triumph over the
Western rival. and he bases his prediction
upon the fact that the cooperative idea
has never been a success in other bust
nesses. He believes that the Chicago
Associated Press is organized upon wrong
principles, and can have no permanent ex-
istence.
Mr.. Phillips said: "The United Press
has behind it the great newspapers OF the
East. notably those in New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston. 1t also serves the
more prominent papers throughout the

The Peoples Church, Boston, has pro-
vided a place where bicycles will be cared
for during church service and invites
people to come to church on their wheels.
This is a step which other churches alive
to the opportunities will follow. A bicy.

ate ~appendage to a meeting than a horse
shed. The churches cannot stop cyelers
from Sunday riding by rebuking them
for ID in their absence, but may by hos
