WATSON WASIN CONTEMPT,
Judge Murphy Decides Against the
Original Clerk of Police Court
Number Two.

Ambrose Watson, the former clerk in
Police Court No. 2, has been declared to be
in contempt of Judge Conlan, the Judge OF
No. 2, for refusing to turn over, at the
courts order, the books and papers of his
office to Morgenstern, his successor.
The case was on a petition to the Su-
perior Court for writ of prohibition re-
straining Judge Conlan from pursuing his
charge of contempt against the recalci-
trant clerk, and also upon motion to dis
miss the charge.
The claim was made before Judge Muir
ply that Judge Conlan had no power to
pass upon Watson's title to the position, a
right which he assumed when he ordered
the books turned over to Morgenstern.
Judge Murphy held. however. that regard
less of the power of the Police Judge to pass
upon the title to the position, the records
of the court are nevertheless under the ex-
elusive control of the bench, and therefore
Watson should have obeyed the order to
turn them over. He therefore dismissed
the writ and denied the motion.
The case will be appealed to the Supreme
Court, and in the meantime Watson will
be arraigned before Judge Conlan for his
contempt writ of habeas corpus will
then be applied for, and upon the appeal
from Judge Murphy's decision and the
writ the Supreme Court will have to decide
the case finally.

Street.

The Preside was visited by fire yester-

Government estimated at from $25, 600 to
10000. The fire destroyed the gunshed
of Light Battery F and the Catholic
church which was over the shed, forming
the upper story of the building, together
with some very valuable ordnance.
The sentinel on guard saw an unusual
light in the gunshed at the hour named,
and made rush for the building to find
upon reaching it that the entire interior
was in flames. The smoke was so dense
he was unable to enter, SO he hastily made
his way to the guardhouse and dteiephcne

DAVIS SUES FOR DIVORCE,
Miss Blanche Bates to Be
Separated From Her
Husband.
The Cause Alleged Is Desertion, and
Miss Bates Will Make No
Contest.

The brilliant marriage of Blanche Bates
and Milton f. Davis, which took place in
st. Luke's Church about year ago, is
about to find its sequel in the divorce
courts. The suit was filed Monday last.
He was lieutenant in the army, she an
actress, and though she quit the stage for
six weeks after her marriage, its fascina-
ton proved irresistible and she left her
husband to go once more behind the foot
lights.
The marriage had been celebrated with
all the pomp and glitter which gay uni
forms and military etiquette lend even to a
wedding ceremony and scores of friends
offered their congratulations.
The couple went to live at the Preside

such as is now attached to the First Regi-

The corps will be formed on the basis of
three drummers and two fifers to each
company, making corps of thirty men.
the corps will be purchased, and it is in
tended to make it a fine band of field
music. The only reason given for the
change is that the army seems to look with
dlsfavor on the bugle corps and to be sub

called Davis to Gilroy. He soon returned
to find his wife gone.
Mrs. Davis, under her maiden name OF
Blanche Bates, took to the stage again, and
after touring through the East for several
months she is again back in San Francisco
with T. Daniel Frawley's company.
The suit is brought by Mr.. Davis upon
the ground of desertion. There will be no
contest, and it is probable that default
will be entered, although an answer may
be filed admitting the allegations of the
complaint.

Round at the Water
Carnival.

1t is evident that the success of Moros-
cos melodramas does not depend entirely
upon scenic effects, for ''The Power OF
Gold, " in which there are no waterfalls,
millwheels nor even an explosion, has
made greater hit than any of it's prede-
cessors which contained these effects.
This play is the best suited to the powers
OF Morosco's company of those which Sanford
has yet presented. Swain is particularly happy
in his delineation of Sammy Smudge. W. L.
Gleason only has small role as the deputy
keeper of the asylum, but he does it admirably,
and Walter Sanford gives careful study OF the

Ofenbach's bright and sparkling opera, 'Ja

Laura Millard makes an effective Perichole,
both vocally and histrionically, her singing of
"I'm tight and of the farewell song in the
first act being especially good. Laura Willard
and John j. Rafael are excellently suited to
their parts, and Ferris Hartman, who plays a
sort of Rip Van Wrinkle role, keeps the audi

the stage with his puns and jokes
