He Fractured General Keuey's Head
Year Ago.
Police Officer John Scanlan, charged with
assault with deadly weapon, was on trial
to-day before Judge Ellsworth. Seaman
is charged with using his club on Kelley,
because the latter refused to desist from
speaking on the streets year ago.
The case has been continued from time
to time, until, finally, Kelley went East.
At present his whereabouts is not known
and other witnesses are also missing.
The Jurors were examined particularly
regarding their prejudices against police
men and industrial armies One juror
who has lived at San Leandro since 1868,
said he had never heard of the Industrial
Army.
Offices Abolished.
The Ordinance Committee met tonight
and decided on several recommendations
regarding he abolition of offices. 1t was
decided TO recommend for passage a reso-
luton abOllshlng the office of Assistant
City Attorney. The office was only created
about two months ago, but since then the
economic wave has set in and the COM
mittee thinks that $3.50 per month is
sufficient to run the office and decline to
recommend more. The office of Assistant
City Engineer will be retained, as it is
believed it saves the city money, but the
License Inspector is doomed to go.
Professor Soule was before the commit
tee, and made an earnest appeal that. the
ordinance regulating the bathing-suits to
be worn on the estuary should be finally
passed. The professor lives near the estu-
airy, and has said many things about the
bathers of neighboring boat clubs that the
latter deny.
The committee decided that they would
make a few trips to the bathing grounds
GurTnp I ia cOn0Inn week and
for themselves Just what kind OF ordi-
nance is needed.
Cases Disposed Of
Dictrict Attorney Shook has moved the
dismissal of the information for perjury
against Frank Shay of the Southern Pa
cihc legal department. He said that he
did not think conviction could be secured.
Judge Prick assented 10 the dismissal.
The second dismissal was a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon against
James Ingler, an ex-deputy constable who
was charged with shooting a man named
Ryan in the leg. The evidence seemed
sufficient to the mind of Judge Wood to
warrant holding Ingler TO answer to the
Superior Court District Attorney Shook
admitted yesterday that he did not feel
that he could secure a conviction and the
case was dismissed.

To Tunnel the Hills.
". H. Buckley of Contra Costa County,
started an agitation to-day in favor of con-
structing a tunnel through the hills
