THE WATER WAS TOO COLD,
Anderson's Attempted Suicide Discour-
aged by the Temperature of
the Bay.

N. K. Anderson, tall, healthy looking
man, who has been engaged in the agri-
cultural pursuit of sowing wild oats for
several days past, made wild lunge for
the shores of eternity yesterday afternoon.
He walked briskly down East street in his
slippered feet and without hat, until he
reached the Piper, Alden, -Goodall Com
pany's wharf at Jackson street. Then he
jumped. He had no sooner touched the
water than ne was stricken with remorse.
He shivered and yelled for help. Three
ropes were thrown to him and he made for
the stoutest line.
''Yiminy, dat vas cold p he murmured as
he was hauled upon the dock A bottle of
whisky was handed to him and he returned
1t empty. Then Sergeant Mahoney sent
him to the Receiving Hospital for medical

THEY WANT Big DAMAGES
THE CITY TO BE SUED FOR $4,000
ON ACCOUNT OF A FAULTY
SEWER.
SURETIEs ON A FORFEITED BOND
ASK THE SUPERVISORS
FOR RELIEF.

Buckingham e. Hecht, manufacturers OF
boots and shoes, whose factory is situated
at San Jose avenue and Army street, want
damages from the city and county of San
Francisco in the amount of $4,000 on ac-
count of a choked-up sewer that flooded
the basement of the firms establishment
on the night of December 7 last, causing
great damage to manufactured goods and
stock stored there.
The claim was laid before the Judiciary
Committee Of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday afternoon by NJ. L. Gerstle OF
the firm of Gerstle & Sloss, attorneys for
Buckingham & Hecht.
No legal action has been taken in the
premises, but Mr. Gerstle explained that
suit and vigorous prosecution will ensue
over the claim unless some arrangement
for compromise can be made between the
complainants and the Supervisors Unless
an amfcable adjustment is made Mr..
Gerstle said there would be heavy costs to
pay for both sides, besides great deal of
unnecessary delay, annoyance and finan-
cial embarrassment for his clients.
''The claim is clear and indisputable
We can prove it beyond a shadow of
doubt" said Mr.. Gerstle.
The City Attorney was consulted as to
whether or not the Supervisors had author
ity to adjust SUCH claims and compromise
with claimants. 1t was his opinion that
the board could compromise at once after
suit for damages had been fled but not
before. 1t was the sense of the committee
that if the claim was just the city should
pay it, and it was intimated to the COM
plainants' attorney that he had better file
his suit at once, which he said he would
do, and then submit proposition to the
Supervisors.

peared before the committee and asked to
be relieved OF the payment of an appear
ance bond for $4,000, made for the release
from custody of Robert Rutledge on the
sth of September last, which bond has
been declared forfeited in Judge Lows
court.
Rutledge was arrested last September on
charge of felony embezzlement, it being
alleged that he had appropriated certain
trust funds from an estate in which several
m EN- bers of his family were interested. He
was released on a bond of $4,000 signed by
Joseph Ghirardelli and j. S. Irvine. Shortly
after the case was settled out of court. Rut-
ledge paying back $3.50 to the parties inter-
ested and agreeing TO pay stipulated sum
each month thereafter. The bondsmen
were then informed by the prosecuting at
torney, the court bailiff and Rutledge and
his attorney that the case was settled and

JUDGE CAMPBELL ON THE RACK
He Is Closely Questioned by the Grand
Jury.

He Is Closely Questioned by the Grand
Jury.
Police Judge Campbell spent stormy
hour before the Grand Jury yesterday aft
ernoon.
The jury was particularly inquisitive re-
garding the bonds of Charles r. Fletcher
and his wife, who were arrested for obtain
ing money under false pretenses through
their connection with shady real estate
transactions Fletcher's bond was &C.
copied by Judge Campbell, and that of
his wife was taken by Judge Bahrs. When
their cases were called both failed to ap-
pear and an examination of the bonds
showed them to be worthless.
The Judge insisted that he had accepted
the sureties in good faith and on the
representation of attorneys that he consid-
cred to be perfectly reliable, and that no
one was more surprised than himself when
he learned the character of the bonds.
He was closely questioned regarding
his methods of continuing cases and the
reasons why certain trials were postponed
for long periods. Whether or not his an
swers were satisfactory will probably tran
spire later. Several Police Court attorneys
were examined regarding bond swim
dies, which enabled criminals to make
their escape from Justice.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-16

he was released on this own recognizancee.
He disappeared soon afterward. Now suit
has been brought to collect the forfeited
bond. Judge Lows court records do not
show that Rutledge was released on his
own recognizance, but attaches of the
court say that such was the case. The
matter will be brought before the finance
committee for investigation.
Auditor Broderick appeared before the
the deficiency in the appropriations and
shortages that may be expected for the
next fiscal year. He said that the next
fiscal year will be confronted with de-
iciency of not less than 100000. The
courts have largely oyerdrawn and County

the first life class medalist that the Hop
kins school ever sent out, is with Charles
Judson, the 1898 medalist, back in San
Francisco, and working hard.
The fact that these men, graduates OF the
life class at the Hopkins Art School, have
been abroad and received fattering notices
of their work, is fair ground for the as
sumption that the present class, which is,
as is admitted by its master, as strong as
any of its predecessors, holds as many
promising men as could reasonably be ex-
pected of any art school in the country.
The studies reproduced here are artistic
ally representative of the boys life class at
the Hopkins school this year. In the
words of the master of the class, Mr..
Mathews, las whole the class is strong.
In composition there is little doubt of its
collective excellence. 1t is not too much
to say that, as it is the largest class which
the school has ever seen, and | think that
the statement will be borne out by the
future work of the present pupils"
Such statement from such source can
mean but one thing. 1t must mean that
the work of the present class shows a de-
cided progress. If the class shows progress
it must necessarily mean that the entire
artistic feeling on the Pacific Coast is
working ahead and that its work is so
strong that the constant addition to the
numbers of the students and the constant
increase in the necessary facilities for their
work demands even if it does not receive

THE CORONER PUZZLED.
Bodies at the Morgue Cannot Be Buried
for Lack of Funds.


for Lack of Funds.
The Coroner is in quandary. There are
three bodies in the Morgue, and the city
undertaken refuses to bury them. The
contractors are the Pacific Undertaking
Company at III Mission street. Yesterday
a member of the firm went to the new City
Hall and attempted to draw the money
that was due them by the city for past
burials of the INDECENT and unknown dead.
He was informed that there were no funds
wherewith to pay him, and he at once tele-
phoned to his employees to take no more
bodies from the Morgue.
There are at present in that institution the
bodies of Brick" McDermott and Jane
Clark, two morphine fends. and the re-
mains of an infant which were found in
the bay.
When the Coroner was fully informed of
the circumstances he at once notified the
City and County Attorney, and requested
that something be done as soon as possible.
Ii no action is taken to-day t he Coroner
viii have the bodies inferred by some I'M
dertaker who will agree to sue the city.

Mrs. Garcia's AIimony.

The woes of the Garcias, Frank and Helena,
were before Judge Hunt yesterday, upon the
hearing of the order to show cause why Garcia
should.not be punished for contempt of court.
He had refused to pay his wife the $75 month
alimony which the court has allowed her Mrs.
Garcia told how she had been treated by her
husband previous TO the divorce which sepa-
rated them, and also how little money he used
to give her.
Garcia was then called to the stand and testi-
fed that he was in debt and it took all of his
T125 salary to support himself and liquidate
The case was then continued until Monday to
allow Garcia time TO make an Offer If he does
not make one he will go to jail.

And yer the recommendations con-

that every building now used for the

The plan of improvement proposed

$4,000, 900. OF course this sum would
not be needed at once, but the appro-

seems large-nOt 50. however by
