FIGHTING FOR A CHILD.
Nicholas III. Lang, Real Estate Agent,
Makes Damaging Accusations
Against His Former Wife.

Nicholas H. Lang, the real estate dealer,
through his attorney, James A. Hill, has
petitioned the Superior Court for the Gus
tody of his younger child. He was granted
the custody of the elder child when di-
voreed from his wife, Mary K. Lang. The
two children, however, were placed in Gus
tody of a woman where both father and
mother had access to them. The mother
took the youngest child to her home at
1925 Bush street the other day, and Lang
got out warrant for her arrest. In this
way he recovered possession, and now asks
the court to grant him custody of the
child.
The petition alleges that ever since the
31st of August, 1889, when the divorce was
granted, and for long time prior thereto,
the defendant Mary E. Lang, had been an
habitual drunkard and had been and is in
the habit of visiting saloons and staying
out at late and unusual hours and drink
ing; that the defendant is not a fit and
proper party to have The care and custody
of said little girl, Mabel Josephine Lang,
who is now aged about 6 years, but that
the plaintiff desires the custody OF said
child and will place her in a family where
she will not be contaminated by the evil
influence of her said mother.

II IS NOT A LEGAL ACTION.
GEORGE WHITTELL'S OPINION IOF
THE MARKET STREET
BOND SUIT.
OPPOSING STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
STREET ROADS FEAR FOR
THEIR RIGHTS.

That the suit of the Market-street Rail
road Company against l. w. Hellman,
which, upon pro forma decision of the
Superior Court, is now before the Supreme
Court, will not be decided without a con-
test, is shown by notice of motion for
permission to file briefs made yesterday.
The suit is one to settle the legal stand
ing of the bonds issued by the Market
street Railroad Company soon after it's
formation.
l. w. Hellman, president of the Nevada
Bank, contracted to purchase a large
amount of the bonds, but when the time
for delivery came he refused to accept
them, on the ground that they were not
legally issued. A suit to compel him to
take the bonds was then instituted, and
Judge Wallace, before whom the case was
tried, rendered judgment in favor of the
plaintiffs, thus, for the time being, estab-
fishing the validity of the bonds.
The case was submitted to him upon an
agreed state of facts, and it comes now be-
fore the Supreme Court under the same
circumstances.
Whittell's affidavit and notice of mo-
ton for permission to file briefs in the case
is made as a citizen interested in but not
connected with the suit.
Whittell is stakeholder in the Central
Railroad Company, and now has a suit
pending to set aside the transfer of the
property and franchises of the Central
Railroad Company to the combination
Joined with him in his motion is J. How
ard Smith, a stakeholder in the Ferries and
Cliff House Railroad, who has a similar
suit to set aside the transfers of property
and franchises of the road in which he is
interested.
Whittell's claim is that there is really no
controversy between the parties in the ac-
ton now on appeal, nor does he admit
there ever was controversy. He charges
that the whole case is an agreed action to
secure decision adverse to himself and to
the Directing stockholders of the roads
which entered the combine.
The section of the Code of Civil Proce-
dure which the applicant quotes in sup
port OF his claim allows parties TO ques-
ton in difference to agree upon case con-
tanning the facts upon which the contro-
versy depends and to submit the same for
adjudication. The section expressly pro-
yides, however, that it must appear by af-
fidavit that the controversy is real and the
proceedings in good faith. This Whittell
claims is not the case in the present action
The controversy is not real one, he SAYS,
but one brought by both parties for the
sole purpose of securing a judgment and
without any bona-fde difference arising
between them. His motion will be heard
next Monday. His action is brought, he
states, because he fears that unless repre-
sented in the case he as well as other op-
posing stockholders will not have their
rights protected

TWO sUFFOOATED.
Four Bodies Were Taken to the NIorgue
Yesterday.


Four bodies were taken to the Morgue
yesterday. Patrick Mathews, a peddler,
was found dead in his bed al $50 Sacra-
mento street at an early hour in the morn
ing. 1t is supposed that he died from
natural causes.
William Meloher, an ex-soldier with a
good record and liberal pension, was
found dead in bed in the New Western
Hotel, with the gas turned on, about noon.
Papers in his possession showed that he
had twice enlisted in the army and had
been discharged for disability. A letter
written by the deceased to Richard Kun
merlander, 219 Minna street, was found, in
which he wrote that the climate did not
agree with him and that he was going to
Iowa. He registered at the hotel as Charles
Bramer, and the chances are that contin-
ued Ill health caused him to commit sui
eide.
Ferdinand Imbert, waiter at 1856 Bush
street, was found in his bed on the 9Th inst
almost asphyxiated by gas. He was taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where he died
yesterday and was removed to the Morgue.
He was formerly employed at the Ingle-
side Hotel, and it is supposed that de-
spondency drove him to commit suicide.
The body of an unknown was found
floating in the bay off Harrison-street
wharf. The only means of Identification
is small tag, on which is written, Jan.
%. +. Heally 1853 Nights" The remains
were evidently those of a longshoreman.

authorities in support of that contention.
There were a also the case of property
owners to be brought up on presentments,
in logical sequence, SO that the matter
could be intelligently argued and disposed
OF, His clients declined to plead as they
did not recognize the courts Jurisdiction.
The District Attorney agreed with Attor-
ney Ruef as to the Importance of the ques-
ton, as there were fourteen cases yes
terday and there would be eighteen more
to-day, in which the same principle was
involved. He would agree to reasonable
continuance.
The Judge fixed Monday afternoon for
the argument, and if he should decide
against Attorney Ruef's contention the
cases will be tried by a jury probably on
Wednesday.
Warrants were served yesterday upon
several of the property-owners against
whom the Grand Jury made presentments
for renting houses for purposes of i'll fame
and each gave bonds in $500 or 500 cash.

DRIVEN TO DESPERATION.
Sad Experience of a Young Printer From
Seattle Who Says He Couldn't
Get Work.

"For Gods sake, lock me up or I'll kill
myselfl" was the remark that startled Po-
hceman George Lake while patrolling his
beat on the water front on Wednesday
night 1t was made by young man who
looked as if he meant it.
81 am starving said the young man,
"and have no place TO go TO. 1t is cold
night, and if you don't lock me up II do
something desperate" And he glanced in
the direction of the dark waters of the bay.
The officer took him to the Harbor po-
lice station, and, seeing his famished con-
dition, ordered and brought him a large,
juicy beefsteak, which he soon devoured
with avidity. After he had finished Lake
asked him his name.
My name is W. S. Weldon" said he,

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Attorney Ruef Will Test the Legality
of Proceedings Against Certain
Property Owners.

The question Of the legality of arrests
under Grand Jury presentments came up
in Judge Lows court yesterday afternoon,
when the cases of the four women charged
with giving an indecent exhibition were
called.
District Attorney Barnes appeared for
the people, and Attorneys Ruef and West
for the defendants and other defendants
arrested on presentments. The defendants
and the witnesses for the prosecution were
in court.
The District Attorney said that arrests
on presentments of the Grand Jury were
new to San Francisco courts. He thought,
however, the presentments would stand on
the same footing as complaint sworn to
in the police courts. He was prepared to
go on with the cases.
Attorney Ruef asked for further con-
tinuance. He thought he could satisfy the
Judge that he had no jurisdiction, and at
the proper time he would cite numerous

and geodetic survey a large photograph,
from which the accompanying drawing
was made by CALL artist.
The central figure is Professor BENJAMIN
Pierce, LID, superintendent of the
United States coast survey, professor of
mathematics of Harvard University and
one of the greatest mathematicians of the
country. 1t was at his instigation that the
tour made by Agassiz was undertaken.
Professor Agassiz is at Pierce's left hand.
On the right hand of the central figure is
Captain C. P. Patterson, photographic in
spector United States coast survey, who
afterward succeeded Pierce as superinten-
dent.
These three wise men are supposed tc be
discussing the proposed tour of the world
which was then yet to be made by Pro-
lessor Agassiz, the trip that has since
taken its place in history as voyage that
accomplished great things for science.
The trip, made in 1871, was the initial
undertaking of the Hassler. She had Just
come off the ways in the yard of Camden,
n. ]. Her performance during the entire
tour was all that could have been desired.
The trip was undertaken at the request
of Superintendent Pierce of the United
States geodetic survey and with and under
the authority of the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The steamer was commanded by Captain
Phil c. Johnson of the United States navy
Professor Agassiz was accompanied by
his wife and by Thomas Hill, LID, ex-
president of Harvard, and by D. S. Stein
dechnar, afterward director of the Impe-
rial Museum of Vienna.
On the voyage they studied the fauna of
the ocean, its currents, temperatures, deep
sea soundings and the dredgings; also, the
depths to which light penetrated the ocean.
The little Hassler. just in commission
and new to her business, brought the dis
tinguished company safely around the
Horn and all the long way up the Western
coast.
They arrived in San Diego in 1872 Com
ing on to San Francisco, they were received
by the California Academy of Sciences, of
which Professor Davidson had Just then
been elected president.
The party remained here some consider
able time, being shown all the honors that
were BETTING so distinguished compsny
and so noble mission.
Agassiz health steadily improved while
he was here, and when he left it was to
once more engage, and with renewed en-
thusiasm, in the archaeological investiga-
ton and his teaching in the field school
which his friends had established.
Ali three of these planners of the expedi-
ton have since died Agassiz last of all.

who have neglected to make oath as to
how much they received in excess of $500
during the year still have an opportunity
to do so, and if they do, they will save
themselves the penalty of 80 per cent in
addition to an arbitrary assessment.
"lf, for instance" added the deputy
"the office learns that man had an in
come OF say $4,000 the last year and he
neglected to make a return as required by
law, the office will assess him for $50, 600
and by the time he gets through with the
business he will find that it would have
been much cheaper to have made a state
ment within the time allowed by the law
Questions about the new law? Yes, we
have to answer hundreds of them every
day. To keep track of them would require
the services of half dozen shorthand
writer's. There are great many persons
IN this city who had at one time large in
come, but who by misfortune have had
that income reduced below the $500 mark.
These persons, fearing that they might be
assessed arbitrarily, come here and make
affidavit to show that they are not subject
to assessment. 1t is not necessary, but
there is no law to prevent them from so
doing. No one who has not had an income
IN excess OF S30UO need trouble himself
about the income tax"
The law provides for collection of tax
of 2 per cent on the return of gains, profit
and income received by citizens Of the
United States, whether residing at home or
abroad, and by other persons residing
therein, having an income of more than
$500 for the year 1894; and by persons
residing without the United States owning
property therein, or engaged in any bust
ness, trade or profession carried on in the
United States during said year; and by
guardians and trustees, executors, admins
traitors, agents, receivers and all persons or
corporations acting in any fduciary
capacity.
Return to be made to the collector or
deputy collector of the district on or be-
fore the 18th of April, 1885, and the tax to
be paid to the collector or deputy on or
before the 1st day of July, 1895.
1t also provides for like tax on returns
by banks, banking institutions, trust COM
panies, saving institutions, life and other
insurance companies, railroad, canal, turn
pike, canal navigation, slack water, tele-
phone, telegraph, express, electric light,
gas, water, street railroad and all other
corporations-and this to make I'D the
deficit in the treasury the result of the
maladministration under the Cleveland
rule. The law does not apply, however,
to States, counties or municipalities, nor to
corporations or associations conducted for
charitable, religious or educational pur-
poses; nor to savings banks having no
stockholders, no members save depositors,
nor capital save deposits; nor to insurance
companies on the mutual plan.
