We respectfully submit with this re- port the testimony taken by us, and, as so much has been said through the press upon this mat ter, we recommend that one thousand copies of said testimony, and of this report, attached there | to he printhd and distri buted among the members of this House by the clerk.

BEAT THEM OFF.
Two Footpads Tackle
Supervisor Ryan.
He Knocks One Down, Spraining One
of His Fingers by the Blow,
and Both Run Away.

Supervisor Ryan had an exciting experience
with two footpads on Montgomery street on
Tuesday night ana showed them that they had
tackled the wrong sort OF party.
The Supervisor, accompanied by Larry
Buckley clerk OF Judge Joachmsen's court,
and Special Officer Hughes OF the New City
Hall. was making some New Years calls on
friends in the Western Addition.
They got on a Sacramento-street car shortly
be fore 10 o'clock to 90 downtown. Buckley
and Hughes got off the car at Powell street
and the Supervisor went on as far as Mont
gcmery street
He had just left the car, when two men
stepped up to him and one OF them asked him
for some money to enjoy their New Years. 1t
was made more In the tone OF demand than
request, and the Supervisor told the fellow to
go about his business.
He had no sooner done SO than the two men
his good right hand, which came In violent
contact with the face of one OF the would be
robbers who promptly embraced the sidewalk.
The unexpected resistance seemed to par
alyZe the two men, and they Deft hasy re-
treat. IL would have been an easy thing for
whistle and have both or at least one OF them
arrested. but he did not care for the notoriety
OF appearing In court TO prosecute them, so he
allowed them to make their ESCAPE.
The force OF the blow on the robbers face In
1ured one OF the fingers OF Mr. Ryars right hand
afternoon to see what was the matter with IL.
DIR. Deane found that the knuckle was sprained
and the skin peeled of, but 1t would be all right
In few days.
If citizens who are interfered with by per-
sistenl beggars or would. be footpads would fol-
low the example of The pIucky Supervisor there
would be fewer cases OF hold-ups reported TO

Important Event in Society
Circles.

The interior Of the quaint little church OF st.
Luke on the corner OF Van Mss avenue and

result. The bride, Miss Cora Caduc, has been
one OF the bellies Of society since her debut, and
the groom, Dr. Henri B. de Marvlle, is one OF
the most popular members of the local swell

events OF the season.
Palms and cut flowers were TO be seen on
every side, and the elegant tOilettes of the
ladies contributed largely toward making a
very pretty picture. An awning mad been
placed over the st cps leading to the sacred
edifce, the interior OF which was tastefully be-
decKed with festoOns of evergreen. The church
never looked pTetler. The side walls were
decorated with wreaths of evergreen and the
pillars along the sides were draped IN smlaX.
The hueS of Verdant green and bright ehrysan-
themums made very pleasing effect ana gave
The church charming appearance. The chan
eel was particularly attractive, palm leaves and
vases OF cut flowers being used with artistic
taste and effect.
Promptly at o'clock the bridal party en-
tered the chnrcb, headed by the ushers, j. C..
Pennie, George Z. Hail. Leon BocqueraZ and
T. n. Swyney. The bride, ACCOMPANIED by
her father, Commodore Caduc. was attlred in a
becoming gown of white satin cut high, with
a magnificent veil OF lace. She carried La
France roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Burke,
looked charming In a gown OF White silk cut
walking length and carried La France roses.
DR.. LOrini acted as best man. The impressive

OF ST. Luke.
After the church ceremony a reception was

CHANGE HAS COME.
Police Courts All at the
New Hall.
Constant Frequenters to Be Arrested
for Vagrancy - Extra Work
in the Prison.

The new City Hall had an undesirable class
OF visitors yesterday, caused by the transfer Of
Police Judges Campbell and Lows courts from
The old City Hall. The Barbary Coast loungers
and buns, like the camp followers of an army,
f1Ocked to the courtrOOms OF these two Judges
and stood ID the corridors 10 The annoyance Of
respectable citizens who had TO pass that way.
1t has been repeatedly intimated that the po-
lice would arrest all these constant lOungers in
the Police courts and book them for vagrancy,
but no definite action In that direction has ever
been taken. Judge COnlan for one is thor
ougbly determined to rid his courtroom OF all
such OBJ ctionable characters aud Bailiff Kelly
has received Instructions 10 keep an eve Oh
them and act promptly when he is In position
to do so. The other Judges nave not been heard
FROM but 1t Is supposed they will follow Judge
C0nlan'S example.
Unless something In that line is done there
will be another big roar from the Board OF Su-
peTVisorS and citizens generally against having
the Police courts located In The new hall.
Judge Campbell occupied the bench yester-
day morning in what he terms The SEWER"
that caus the death OF Mayor SandersOn. In
other words it is the room formerly occupied
by the Board OF Election Commissioners in the
basement OF the northeast wing, on McAll1ster
street. 1t Is not exactly suited for Police
Court. but the Judge Will have to be satisfied
with IL.
Judge Low will occupy the rooms just vacated
by Justice oil the Peace Gray IN the Larkin-
street wing. OF the building. The necessary
alterations have not yet been completed and he
had TO hold court IN Judge Coplans courtroom
yesterday afternoon. He will not hold court
to-day. but tomorrow morning everything Will
be In ship.shape order for him.
Ihe removal OF tile two courts to the new
hall occasioned some confusion 10 the City
Prison. 1t enIailed considerable extra work
upon the prison officials owing TO the increase
In the number of prisoners aud the assign
ments 10 the different courts. From O'Clock
yesterday morning to 10 O'Clock over $50
entries were maze on the register at the prison,
most OF them being drunHs and misdemeanOrs.

The eighteenth and last OF Scheeps present
season of symphony concerts was given yester-

TO be regretted that these performances should

CHEAPBRAIN=FOOD
"Whispers" Told to Thrill
the Thoughtful.
Those Tired Of Light Fiction May
Here Find Solid Suggestions of
Lifelong Value.

Sometimes the intelligent brain wearies
of the fairy realm of poesy and fiction, as
the healthy appetite of 'cakes and kick
shaws." 1t turns to substantials-soIi
sources of thought that will be fruitful
and multiply In future action.
But In these workaday times the aver
age man and woman of intelligence have
little leisure or Inclination to tackle Kant
or even Spencer. They are interested In
social problems. but are scared away by
the scientific GOODNESS and dry philosophy
of such writers. Their study requires long
grounding and the use OF expensive Ii
braries or sets of volumes.
When, therefore, rare chance occurs to
acquire hoce brain food In CHEAP and
attractive form the wideawake thinkers of
the day will grasp at it quickly.
Such an opportunity Is presented by
