YOUNG KOHLER's DEATH.
He Took an Overdose of Morphine by
Accident.


Accident
An inquest was held by the Coroner yes
terday in the case of Charles Kohler, who
died on New Years day in DR.. Loryea' s
Hammam Baths on Post street from the eff
tects OF morphine poisoning. Joseph Cal
egar1s, chemist, testified that he had not
been able to analyze the stomach of the
dead man because it had not been removed
from the body as it should have been. He,
however, had analysed the bottle contain
ing the mixture OF whisky and morphine
and had found that it contained enough of
the poison to produce death.
Among the other witnesses were DR..
Loryea and the doctors who had been called
in to attend the man before he died. Their
evidence was not material except as to the
details Immediately preceding and atten-
dant upon his death.
After the testimony was all in the jury
returned verdict to the effect that
Kohler's death was caused by morphine
and was accidental. The deceased was a
native OF this State, aged 30 years. The
fact that he was buried without an inves-
tlgatlon being made and his stomach
taken out for analysis is somewhat singu-
lar, but the responsibility for the over
sight rests with ex-Coroner Hughes and
not with Coroner Hawkins.
Frank alias king" McManus was one
of the witnesses yesterday and he testified
that he had been with Kohler the day
before he died and heard him say that he
was troubled with insomnia and could not
sleep. McManus says he advised him to
go home and try to get some rest. Other

act OF single member thus selected in
validates the entire election would work
lust hardship and tend to thwart the will
of the electors in many instances, and
should not be INDUCED in unless rendered
imperative by the mandate of the consti-
tuition"
The same constitution, the court held,
provides that the legislation by general and
uniform laws shall provide for election or
appointment in the several counties OF
Boards of Supervisors, etc., a Supreme
Court and the members of the Legislature.
1t would hardly be contended that be-
cause the constitution provides for Board
of Supervisors an election for Super
visors in which a single member elected
was disqualified would invalidate the cleo
ton of other members.
After proceeding to long discussion OF
the provisions of the code relative to ma
jority and minority representation in GER
tain specified organized bodies, which was
fortified by frequent references to decisions
of the Supreme Court of this State during
previous years, the decision says:
We reach the following conclusions:
l. The thirteen freeholders, constituting, as
they do, majority OF all the members OF the
board, were competent to organiZeEand act as a
Board of Freeholders under the constitution
and law, and may lawfully prepare and pro-

q I. w. Hellman and W. B. Bourn are not
eligible to the Office OF freeholders, and though
regularly elected and commissioned are not
de juTe officers of the board.
8. Said Hellman and Bourn having been
elected and commissioned became de facto
members of the board, and as such their acts
were and are valid as to the public and third
parties.
We are asked by counsel in the event of hold
ing that Bourn and Hellman are not entitled
to their seats, to indicate:
l. Whether or not Patrick Reddy and ]. c..
Whiting, who received the next highest num-
Der of votes, are entitled to demand and re-
ceive certificates of election; and if not, then
2. How shall the vacancies be filed?
The first query seems to be settled in this
State. Saunders VS.. Haines, 13 Cal, 145 /;
Crawford VS.. Dunbar, 81 Cal, SO.
We must, however, decline to pass upon
either of the foregoing propositions for the
reason that they are not involved in the issues
presented in this case, and anything which
might be said would be obiter dictum and Of
no binding forces should the same question
The judgment appealed from should be
affirmed as to all the defendants except I.
w. Hellman and w. 3. Bourn, and reversed as
to the said two-ast named defendants, with
directions to the court below to override the
separate demurrerS OF said l. W. Hellman and
W. B. Bourn with leave to amend.

NEWEST FORM OF CHARITY
1t Is Hoped to Help the Poor in
Every Way.
This Large Class Will Not Only Be Well
Fed, but Taught How to Live
Hygienically.

1t has been found by practical men and
women who have given the subject OF
charitable relief their most serious atten-
ton that the surest way to aid the poor
is to enable them to help themselves. To
do this requires organized bodies. One OF
the most deserving of these is the San
Francisco Hygienic and Medical Mission at
422 Fifth street, which combines many
features OF striking interest in these hard
times for the worthy poor.
The object of this mission is to attend to
the wants of the poor in all their con-
ditions; to supply them with food, cloth
ing, bedding, fuel and medical attendance,
and provide for them free dispensary.
Another feature of this mission work is
to supply the needy with properly pre-
pared hygienic food daily, also to teach
them how to prepare such food. Daily
lectures will be given on hygiene at
O'Clock in the afternoon. The following
subjects will then be discussed in manner
to be comprehended by the most simple:
of the Digestive Organs, Digestion, Il
''The Uses and Comparative Value of
Foods and Their Relation to Digestion, y
when, How and What to Eat, " "Classi-
fed Dietary" Diseased Foods ''Adul-
terated Foods Condiments and Stimu-
lating Foods" Relation of Food and
Temperance, "Healthful Cookery" can
atomy and Physiology of the Muscles and
Their Hygienic Relation" Exercise and
Rest" 'Healthful Clothing "Respira-
ton, Ventilation, Germs, Bathing and
Cleanliness of Body; 1.-The Circulatory
and Nervous System" Tobacco using a
Cause of Disease" ''Alcohol Cause of
Disease, Hygiene of Infancy and Child
hood, especial Physiology and Hygiene, :"
Mental and Moral Hygiene"
The bread for distribution will be made
on strictly hygienic principles and the BEN
efts OF such food viii be clearly explained
This institution will be supported en-
tirely by voluntary contributions of money,
clothing, bedding, groceries, coal, firewood,
coal oil, druggists sundries for the sick
etc. A monthly statement will be made in
the daily papers OF receipts and distribu-
ton OF supplies, with an itemized account
of work done.
The following part of the plan is worthy
OF special mention: No one will be author
lied to make any solicitation for the mis-
sion, with one exception, and that will be
IN delivering meal tickets. These will be
sold twenty for 81, but one-half will be
given to the purchaser and the rest kept
by the mission to supply transient visitors
who need meals but have no money.
The San Francisco HYGIENE Mission is
strictly non-sectarian and will probably be
opened at an early date. When once begun

A SOUTHEAST GALE EXPECTED.
A Very Low Barometer Points TO
Danger.

A Very Low Barometer Points TO
Danger.
The storm signals were still flying last
night when darkness set in. a violent
gale from the southeast was predicted, out
at o'clock the indications were that the
storm was breaking.
The weather all along the coast from
northern Washington as far south as Te-
hachapi was marked during yesterday by
wind squalls and sudden showers. In this
vicinity the fercest gales blew in the vicln,
ity of Cape Mendocino, where the wind
obtained velocity of sixty miles an hour.
In this city the barometer began rising
yesterday morning and continued ascend
ing until noon. 1t then dropped back
couple of points and then remained sta
tionary. Forecast Officer Hammond is of
the opinion that San Francisco will be Wis
tied by heavy gale before this storm
breaks.
The wind raised a considerable sea on
the Sacramento River yesterday, and some
of the levees were in danger. The river
was falling slightly, however, and 1t was
hoped that if the wind went down the dan
ger might be obviated. Up to P. NJ. yes
terday over an inch of rain fell in the city.
During a very severe rain storm in Fresno
lasting only very short time, a quarter OF
an inch fell

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Police Sergeant Nash Taken for a
Burglar.
He in Turn Thinks c. 4. Parker. a Car.
penter, Is a Thief, and Gets
the Worst of 1t.

Sergeant of Police Nash and G.. a. Parker,
a carpenter, played at cross purposes at an
early hour yesterday morning, and now
Nash is nursing wounded forehead and
Parker is in the City Prison.
Parker, along with other carpenters, has
been employed on building in course OF
erection at Oak and Steiner streets. Re-
Gently thieves visited the building and
stole lot of tools. AS they were afraid
that the thieves would make another visit
Parker agreed to sleep in the building and
protect the tools.
The police had been notified of the theft
of the tools and were also on the lookout
for the thieves. Nash was informed by
Policemen Flood and Coleman that sus-
picious character had been seen entering
the building, and about o'clock yesterday
morning the three guardians of the peace
raided the building.
Parker was awakened by the noise OF
footsteps in the building. He listened in
tently and heard some one say, 'These are
plumbers TOOLS" He was satisfied the
thieves had returned and, seizing piece
of scantling, he went on the warpath.
Flood and Coleman had gone to the rear
of the building to capture any one attempt
ing to escape that way, while Nash searched
and Parker saw each other, and each made
a rush at the other.
When Nash saw that Parker was armed
with piece of scantling he drew his club
and each struck at the other. Parker found
his weapon practically useless, so he
grabbed hold of a hammer and struck
Nash violent blow on the forehead, and
the blood ran down his face. Explanations
were then in order, and Parker was ar
rested and taken to the City Prison, where
he was charged with an assault with a
deadly weapon. Nash had his wounded
forehead dressed.
Nash says that when he saw Parker he
told him he was an officer and showed his
star, but to his establishment Parker struck
at him with the scantling and then struck
him on the forehead with the hammer.
Parker denies that Nash either told him
he was an officer or showed his star till
after blows had been exchanged between
them. He had heard the whispered con-
versation about the plumbers tools, and
knowing there was more than one, he
struck the sergeant in self-defense, believ-
ing he was burglar.
The case was called in Judge Conlan's
court yesterday morning and continued
till this morning.
