HOW FLYNN NET KNIGHT
The Two Were at One Time
Partners in a Railroad
Enterprise.
C0R0NER's INQUEST TOMORROW
DR.. Bohm, New Witness, Promises
to Give Some Very Important
Evidence.
COR0NER'S INQUEST TOMORROW

The appearance of George A. knight as
attorney for J. T. Flynn, the alleged
destroyer of his own child, recalls an in
stance of few years ago in which both
figured with equal prominence as the
promoters of one OF the most important
railroad deals ever undertaken on the Pa
cifc Coast.
The plan included the extension of the
San Francisco and North Pacific Coast
Railroad from its present northern
terminus at Ukiah to Portland, Or, q
distance of about $50 miles. The inten-
tion was to convert the Donahue road into
trunk line to be known as the Pacific
Coast Terminal Railway Company.
Had the schedule gone through an inlet
would have been made into San Francisco
for the Great Northern, the Union Pacific.
the Northern Pacific and the Canadian
Pacific railroads. The idea was the Joint
product OF Knight and Flynn. and was
only defeated by the untimely death of
Colonel Donahue.
During journey to Portland in 1890
Knight met Flynn. who was then largely
interested in Southern Oregon land en-
terprlse. A two hours chat in Pullman
smoker on their way north resulted in the
birth of the coast road scheme. Knight
was personal friend of Colonel Donahue.
while Flynn was interested in various
land deals with w. H. Holcomb, vice.
president of the Union Pacific, and G. HI.
Prescott, holding similar position with
the Northern Pacific.
An introduction to Donahue followed
resulting in tacit greement on the part
of the northern roads to use the Donahre
terminal line into San Francisco. The
four roads were to pay combined track
age rental equal to the interest on the
bonds issued Tor extension purposes. This
would have given each OF the northern
less than sixth of that of Individual
ownership, and still left Donahue in pos
session of all the local business.
Arrangements were made at the same
time to take in the Oregon Pacific system
and use it as a feeder for the terminal !:
also to construct another branch from
Eureka to the Upper Sacramento Valley
and possibly another into the Rogue
River Valley from Crescent City.
This system would have opened up a
vast territory along the coast between
Mendocino County and the Oregon line.
besides making San Francisco master of
the coast business. Colonel Donahue laid
the question of a bond issue before syn
dicate of Boston bankers and was assured
that they would be taken at par to the
extent of $50 900 per mile, or within $40, 600
per mile of the estimated cost. Shortly
after the receipt of this intelligence
Knight, Flynn and Mr.. .Zook proceeded to
Ukiah on special train, where thev met
Colonel Donahue and party of Eastern
friends. AS the result of this conference.
Colonel Donahue started north with a
surveying party, intending to 90 to the
Rogue River Valley by way of Eurek..
but the rough weather encountered made

Green Stones in Favor.

Green stones are the fashion Just now.
Or these, of course, first comes the emer-
aid, for green diamonds and green sap
phIres are too rare ana small for modern
jewelry. Nothing can equal really fine
emerald-rich, dark, yelvety and glossy
yet it is said that a flaw or fault almost
always lies in the stone, and an emerald
without flaw is priceless. Next to emer-
aids come peridots (the French name for
Indian chrysolite). These stones are par
ticularly soft, and they are difficult to cut
and polish. Peridots, when really fine in
size, depth and color, are lovely stones.
They are clear, deep leaf-green, showing
almost yellow beside the blue tone of color
OF the emerald. Few peridots are now
brought into the market, and those SOLD
are usually old stones recut and reset in
modern fashion.
Both emeralds and peridots are "step
cut" with large broad table or center
space. The chrysoprase is pretty, but
lacks depth of coloring. The reason the
emerald and peridot make lovely orna-
ments is that they can be set round with
sparkling diamonds to show off their
lovely coloring, but pale stones, like the
chrysoprase or beryl, have to be set plain
by themselves, as they will not bear the
contrast. About twenty years ago fash
ion came in of setting peridots with en-
amel and surrounding them with pearls.
Ihls fashion now seems to have returned.

POLICE COURT COMEDIES
The Meeting.Place of Luckless
People in the Limbo of
the Law.
THE LADY AND THE LAWYER.
Interpreting Counsel's Flowing Diction.
Floored Under an Interrogation
Point.
THE LADY AND THE LAWYER.

There are more things in morning ses-
sion of the Police Court than was ever
thought of in ordinary, everyday philoso-
ply. 1t is the general meetin place at
the foot of the grade-the point where
people who have got to the end of their
rope fetch up. and the fiounderings of the
unlucky ones in the limbo of the law are
pathos and bathos mixed and mingled.
Even the painful efforts of the be-
leaguered court seeking to restrain the
sometimes too much industry OF the prose.
cution, or struggling to escape the pitfalls
and ENHANCEMENT of defending attorneys,
are often ludicrous. The muse of comedy
and the goddess of justice sitting in bank
might preside not unfttingly over the
destinies of the Police Court.
After the foregoing preface several acts
from the serio-comic performances in
Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday morn
ing may be given:
One Duffy, In Judge Joachimsen's court,
and his running mate, Ellis, were charged
with attempting to rob an individual OF
innocency and inebriety Of his slender
assets after night among the "steams."
The Prosecuting Attorney had gently ex.
tracted the victims plant for the edifica-
tion of the court stenographer, and then
defendants council was turned loose al
him:
"Upon your solemn oath, Mr.. Schmidt,
will you state upon your personal, apart
from any conclusions you may have ar
rived at from hearsay, testimony Just to
what plane of intoxlcation you had re-
duced yourself previous to this assault
mean alleged assault-on Natoma street
on the morning mentioned in the COM
plant, and how many drinks-~
There is no evidence that this would
have stopped before autumn set in if he
had not noticed that the Judge was en-
gagged IN an argument with brother at
torney regarding bail for another offender
and had probably forgotten all about the
cross-examination. However, ii had taken
forty seconds to ask that much of the ques-
ton and that was so much time saved,
and that is much when and where time
(expended) is everything.
The witness struggled while with the
ponderous Interrogation point and then
sank down in complete inanition.
"Were you not, Mr.. Schmidt, more or
less in startling state of inebriety," re-
turned counsel to the charge, "while in
the company of Mr.. Duffy and Mr.. Ellis
that morning2'
"Were yon drunk?" suddenly inter-
preted his Honor, looking at the galloping
ha nds on the clock dial.
mo, sirv'
~ should prefer, may your Honor
please, that the witness answer my ques-
ton" said the attorney blandly.
''All right-read the question-witness
answer it, ordered the Judge.
The witness answered mo, sir" again

THE BUILDING TRADES.
Woodworkers Will Hold an Open Meet
ing Tomorrow Evening,

HooOWOrkeEs Will Hold an Open Meet
ing To-Morrow Evening.
AT the meeting Of the Building Trades
Council last evening the woodworkers' del
egates announced that tomorrow even
ing their union would hold an open meet
ing to all members of the craft in their
hall at 1859 Mission street. The purpose
OF the gathering will be. to organize all
branches of the trade. In the woodwork
ers line there are many departments, es-
pecially in the mills 1t is desired to
bring all classes of woodworkers into the
union which is possible under the rules of
the National amalgamation.
The Shinglers' Union is still seeking for
a representation in the council, and the
delay is caused by their work in many in
stances conflicting with that of the car
penters. The latter will not object so long
as the shinglers confne themselves to the
roofs and do not work on the side walls or
do repairing. Another hitch is that the
shingler work by the piece while the 9th.
ers in the building trades work by the day.

Planned Flying. Machines.

Leonardo da Vinci, being great archi-
tect and engineer, as well as painter and
sculptor, left notebooks proving that he
had studied the flight of birds, and had
planned fying-machines to be driven by
wings or by screw-propellers. But as
Leonardo was good at figures he seems to
have abandoned his plans after finding
out how much force would be needed.-St.
Nicholas.
