NOT AN EXTORTION.
Sister of John Bowling Corrects the
Story of Her Brothers. Death.

The story of an alleged effort of John
Bowling to extort money from his relatives
by pretending to be dead at Colfax, as tele-
graphed from Ukiah on Wednesday, is
denied by his sister, Miss Aggie Bowling,
and her brother-in-law, ID. G. Heger of 31s
Kearnv street, this City.
Miss Bowling says that her sister Mrs.
Heger went to Colfax upon hearing OF
their brother Johns death for the purpose
of identifying the body. Mrs. Heger had
no conversation with Coroner Mitchell
but transacted her business with the under.
taker, Mccullough. She says there was nc
effort at extorting money and that the
charge for the coffin was only $12 So Hel
only complaint was that the body was moi
properly buried and that it was not prop
erly exhumed for identification.
Mrs. Heger thought the body was that Of
her brother, though she was not quite
positive, but assuming that it was ordered

CONTENTION OVER A CHILD.
The Father Charged by the Grand
mother With Cruelty and
NEGLECT,


The custody of little Katy O'Connor is
the bone of contention between Patrick
O'Conror, the father of the child, and Mrs.
John QuinIan, the grandmother. The aid
of the courts has been invoked to adjust
the differences between the two.
At the instance of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the
father, who is in the employ of the Union
Iron Works, was arrested on charge of
failure to support the little one. O'Connor
gave bonds, and few days ago served a
writ OF ha beas corpus on the grandmother
There was stay of proceedings until the
9Th prox., when the story will be ventilated
in one of the lower courts. Meanwhile the
father has made an unsuccessful attempt
to steal the child who lives with her grand
mother at los Clinton street.
After O'Conner's marriage to Mrs. Quin-
lan's daughter all went well, according to
the mother-in-law's version, until soon
after the birth of the child. The father
went to Humboldt, ostensibly to look for
work, but until relatives discovered his
whereabouts he never communicated with
his wife. She was neglected bv him for
the few months she spent at Humboldt,
and then she came home to die, being in
,, the last stages of consumption.
The husband made no inquiries about
her and did not put in an appearance I'M
til telegram summoned him to her
funeral.
''He never looked at her dead face nor
showed any more feeling for his child than
if she were stranger" said the mother
in-law. "He never has pretended TO sup
port the child, but propose that he shall
be made to do so, and that | shall keep her
with me. Do you suppose man who
neglects dying wife will take proper care
of his child? l have eleven children of
my own, but l have made room in my
home and heart for this one"

SUPERVISORS CONVENTION
The Meeting in the Chamber of Com
merce Next Month Creating
General Interest.

The convention of Supervisors from all
the counties in the State that will be held
on July Is in the Chamber of Commerce
promises to be an important event. The
object of Governor Budd calling this con-
vention is to devise means for sending an
exhibit of Californian products to the in
terpational exposition at Atlanta, Ga,
next September.
Half railroad fares and special hotel rates
have been secured for the visiting Super
visors.
Yesterday Mr.. Filcher had conference
with several members of the Half-million
Club, with view of having that body as
sist in entertaining the visitors. He called
attention to the fact that it will be an ex-
cellent opportunity for the Half-million
Club to return some of the courtesies it re-
celved during its recent trip over the State.
Besides the occasion will be most favorable
for the establishment of stronger bonds of
good feeling between the interior and the
metropolis.

MEYER is DISCHARGED,
The Supreme Court Decides
That He Was Not Guilty
of Perjury.
Judge Beatty's Opinion Declares the
ThalIa Was Not Gambling
House.

Julius Meyer. who was recently held to
answer the charge of perjury lodged
against him for failure to answer questions
as to his qualifications as a juror, was dis
charged by the Supreme Court last evening
upon writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Beatty rendered the opinion dis
charging the prisoner and in SO doing
establishes the relative merits of poker and
faro in the eyes of the Supreme Court. The
opinion is as follows:
1.-THE petitioner has been held to answer
on a charge of perjury and asks to be dis
charged on the ground, among others,
that he was committed without reasonable
or probable cause. The evidence adduced
before the committing magistrate is in my
opinion wholly insufficient to sustain the
charge as laid in the information or any
charge.
at seems that one Paulsell was on trial
in the Superior Court on charge of rob-
bing the -proprietors of a faro bank. The
petitioner being a member of the regular
panel of trial jurors in attendance upon
that department of the Superior Court was
called into the jury-boX and examined on
his voire dire touching his qualification as
a juror. He was questioned by the prose
cution and passed. Counsel for defendant
then asked him the following question,
among others, DO you know man named
Carroll or Ross or Weber, the men who
were proprietors of the gamblipg-house at
620 Market street,? To which he an
swered, No, sir. / have nothing to do
with such places
1.-THE charge is that the latter part of this
answer is false; that in fact that petitioner
did have something to do with such
places
at appears from the evidence that the
place kept by Carroll Ross and Weber, at
$40 Market street, was clandestine and
illicit gambling-house, but it is not proven
that the Thalia is such place as the
gam pling-house at $40 Market street The
| difference between the two places is Just
exactly as broad as the difference between
legality and illegality, or in other words,
since we have none but statutory crimes,
it is as broad as the difference between
| guilt and innocence.
And since there is neither evidence nor
accusation of any other false statement
made by him, it follows that he cannot be
held for perjury and must be discharged
| from custody. 1t is so ordered"
Meyer had been in Jail since his exami-
nation, since otherwise he could not be
tried on writ of habeas corpus, and his
attorney, Andrew Clunie, was anxious to
have the question finally decided.

TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS,
The Street Sweeping Will Be
Let by Contract as
Before.
How the Wage Workers. Union
Took Trick From the Labor
Council.

The Street Committee Of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday assured President
Dohrmann of the Merchants Association
that it had no intention of turning the
street sweeping work over to the Street
Department of the City government.
The committee-rooms of the board were
quickly filled up when Chairman Spreck-
els told the sergeant-at-arms to call the
Merchants Association. An army of we'll
known and influential citizens filed in in
response, among those following President
Dohrm ann being Henry L. Dodge, NJ. P.
Jones. Louis Sloss Jr., George A. Newhall,
members of the Chamber of Commerce
ana representatives of other commercial
bodies. Acting as escort to these was a
big delegation of working men, among
them w. G.. G. Pitts, business manager OF
the Voice OF Labor, and I. j. Fitzsimmons,
one of the editors of the same, who repre-
sented the San Francisco Labor Council.
They took their places on the left of the
big table, while conspicuous in the crowd
on the other side was Denis Kearney, and
it was only because,he was there to com bat
the Merchants Association that they had
come.
it appears that the resolutions submitted
from the Wage-workers' Union had opened
the eyes of the Labor Council and the atfil-
lated unions to a trick of which they had
been the victim, and the Wage-workers'
Union, in the person of w. Greenwood, was
the author, and they had come to the
meeting to square the account.
The Labor Council has all along been in
sympathy with the Merchants Association
in their efforts to take the street-sweeping
work away from the machines and put it
in the hands of laborers. They have rec
ognized the justice OF the system employed
by the association in giving the work to
men and paying the wages they earn and
long ago took action to the effect that the
work should be given into the hands of
laborers on this, or the best possible basis
that could be secured
AT the meeting of the Labor Council on
June % this Mr.. Greenwood, representing
the Wage-workers' Union, asked the priv
lege of the floor and urged the council to
protest against the City street-sweeping
being let out by contract, "such a course
being inimical to the interests of labor

considerable saving having been made by
manufacturing on the mountain the bricks
used
Modern architecture on snow summit
as an experiment has many disadvantages
for the builder. 1t is not pleasant under
taking to drag lumber up to 5000 feet above
sea-leyel, and the average bricklayer can
work to better advantage when he does
not face binding snow blasts and strong
mountain winds.
Nevertheless, these were some Of the
conditions under which the two hand

The two buildings are located on a hill
Immediately south of the summit.
Each is commodiously fitted up inte-
riorly, and the roofs and walls are so
constructed as to throw off the snow,
which falls on the summit the year round.
!. The bricks used in preparing the founda-
lions and walls were, as stated, burned on
the mountain in brickkiln improvised
close to the buildings.
The principal care of the regents was to
prevent the possibility of the astronomers
getting snowbound and to relieve the star
gazers of the task of shoveling their way

during bad weather.

A petition was received from the resi-
dents of Noe Valley asking for better fire
protection, and it was referred to Chief
Sullivan. Another petition was received
from residents in the Richmond district,

The report of the finance committee

the fiscal year.
