BARON GoTTzHEIM SUED.
A Collector Is Anxious to Know Al
About His Financial Affairs.

A Collector Is Anxious to Know All
About His Financial Affairs.
Twenty dollars, simple double eagle,
is all that stands between Baron Moritz
Stoch Won Gottzheim and the humiliation
OF having to appear before Justice of the
Peace Groezinger to tell of his worldly
possessions, and yet the probabilities are
that on Monday next the Baron will be
served with an order of examination.
Baron Moritz Stoch Won Gottzheim is a
German nobeman of the bluest blood,
who arrived in this City several years ago
with 3 magnificent wardrobe but not a
plethoric purse, and his career since land
ing has been punctuated with legal pro-
ceedings until it has come TO a matter of
putting claims in the hands of collectors
before satisfaction can be obtained.
The Baron does not work to any marked
extent, but he runs up bills nevertheless,
and it is the Indebtedness resulting from
the visits of a prominent doctor that has
brought on hls most recent troubles.
The Baron was sick enough a few weeks
ago to require couple of days attendance
from a physician, and $40 was the fee
asked.

GAVE BOND NOT TO PAY
Device by Which Ex.Attorney
Napthaly Tricked the
Police Courts.
Would Not Be Prosecuted for Perjury.
Because the Bail Bond Was
Defective.

Police Court Attorney B. F. Napthaly
has again slipped through the meshes of
the legal net. This time he was indicted
for perjury. Judge Trout yesterday dis
missed the charge.
Almost two years ago Napthaly had a
client named Mills, to secure whose re-
lease he signed bond, swearing that he
(Napthaly) owned $500 worth of furni-
ture in storage. As it was proven that the
statement was false, the Grand Jury in
dicted the practitioner for perjury.
" hen the case came up for trial in
Judge Troutt's court yesterday, the bond
that Napthaly signed was introduced in
evidence. William d. Farren, the clerk
in Judge loves court, identified the pa
per as the one Napthaly had affixed his
signature to at Farren's house. Carroll
Cook who represented the accused. then
took all the wind out of the prosecutions
sails by announcing that the bond bound
its signer mot to pay the State of Califor-
mia the sum of $780, in case Mills did not
appear for trial.
Assistant Prosecuting ATTORNEY HiukIe
was astounded and Judge Trout for an
instant did not know what to do, He then
asked for the document, and sure enough
there was the word mot" interlineated
this making the bond completely inopera-
tive.
As the document was defective of course
any sworn statement about it was imma-
terial and the charge of perjury fell fiat.
Judge Trout, therefore, dism Used the case.
Napthaly has been in trouble a num-
Der of times, and Judge Slack disbarred
him long ago. He, however, is, for some
unknown reason, allowed to practice in
the Police Courts, with the exception of
Judge Lows department. He has no
right to do so, but an alleged political pull
is said to influence the other Judges in his

per's name was called he shouted: "Mr.
Chairman, / desire TO vote for man who
has always been a Democrat Eugene n.
Deuprey."
Howls arose at this stab at the Rainey
candidate, and pugnacious Raineyite
shouted, That's more'n you've been."
Peppers remark was based on the fact
that Reynolds was nominated for Justice
ofthe Peace by the Populists two years ago.
However, at this stage Mr.. REYNOLDS
had 2O5 votes and Mr.. Deuprey enjoyed
the credit of 125.

Ralney and comprising a minority con-
trolled by Campaign Committeeman DR..
w. J. Gavigan, who will probably be
nominated for Police Judge, gave it's
thirty two votes solidly to Reynolds
When the Forty second was reached
Harry K. Wise announced 80 votes for
Reynolds. When the vote reached 328 to
l57 Osgood Putnam moved that the rollcall
be suspended and that the nomination of
Mr.. Reynolds be made unanimous.
There were cries of mo, no." and DIV the
voice one OF the protests came from Max
Pepper.
Chairman Sullivan said that every dele
gate had right to have his vote recorded
on every important matter.
"There are some delegates who want
their votes recorded on this ISSUE" added
Mr.. Sullivan sarcastically.
The vote was announced to be 1863 for
Reynolds and 204 for Deuprey. Mr.. Rev
holds was escorted TO the chair and Mr..
Reynolds made a speech. He gave thanks
and then replied to Max Peppers thrust.

Raines Law in Brooklyn.

New York, May 4-More intoxicated men were arrested in Brooklyn yester-. day than on any other day since the Raines law went into force. The num- Der was forty-five. The second highest was made last Sunday, when thirty one arrests were made,
 There were but five arrests made for alleged violation of the law. Reports were lodged this morning with District Attorney Backus to the number of thir- ty-five. The Twenty-second precinct led in lawlessness. Ten complaints came out of that district alone.
 Considerable interest is taken in Brooklyn as to the attitude the May grand jury will assume toward these complaints. The last jury was so much opposed to indicting alleged violators of the law that MT. Baekus refused to permit it to consider any more cases. The number of reports this morning was very low.
 Last Sunday they aggregated sixty four for the same time. Nevertheless this grand jury will have more than it's share of excise work to do It will have to take up about one hundred cases that it's predecessor should have disposed of.

RO0sEYELT MAKES 4 TOUR.

Looks Into the Workings of the Raines
 Law-Police Captain of the Union Market
 Station Will Have to Explain-The Sa-
 loon Hotels and the Evasion of the Law.
 New York, May 4.-Police Commis- sioner Roosevelt, accompanied by his private policeman, went the rounds of the city yesterday for the purpose of observing the workings of the Raines law. Concerning his tour he said to- day:
 q wanted to find out generally what the effect of the law was at this time, and especially to look into two or three cases concerning which I was not quite satisfied from reports I received.
 There was one saloon man in the Thirteenth precinct of whom it has been alleged that he was allowed to keep open because his brother was a sergeant of police, My policeman got into his saloon without trouble, and as the police of the Thirteenth precinct had neglected to close the place sent over to the Fourteenth and had them arrest the man. The captain of the Thirteenth precinct, Captain Theron s. Copeland, will have an opportunity to explain later.
 As for the working of the law, 1t is yet too early to say anything. This is a transition period, and undoubtedly matters will be improved when the off, cers created under the law get fairly going and when, by July l, the licenses have to be all made out under the new conditions. But at present in certain | saloon hotels the practical effect of the law is merely to charge double for the 1 first glass of beer That is if man will buy one sandwich for five cents he can have all the beer he wants. The | police have made many arrests in such cases during the past few weeks, but | the cases have been thrown out, And | it seems to be settled that, perhaps I because of the very severe penalties
 both court and jury will be extremely l lenent in their constructions of what l 8 meal is.
 Tn some of the so-called hotels ant l restaurants the dining rooms were no 1 10 feet by G. The men did not register
 and the offering of the sandwich wal
 very perfunctory. In some of thu
 hotels the sleeping room accommoda I tions were so bad as to create the pre- 1 sumption that there was no real pur
 pose to accommodate guests.
 T believe, however, that as the lav
 gets into working shape most of thes I evils will be remedied, and that tn l hotels will be forced to become such il I fact as we'll as in name. The penalt, for infringement of the law is so sever I that even the securing of a single con viction will accomplish very much"

Ministers Meeting.

At the United Ministers meeting yes- terday the topic announced for discus sion was "The Ethics of Authorship, ,' to be presented by Rev. J. Balfour Smith of the Summerfield NJ. B. church, but owing to the small attendance the discussion was postponed until the fall. There was a discussion as to holding the meetings and several of the clergy men believed it would be better when the denominational meetings are held, as in the case of the Baptists yester- day. to omit the general pastors meet ing for that day.
 The matter was not decided, but will be taken up again next Monday, which is to be the last meeting for the season; the topic for discussion then will be ''The Use of Illustrations in Preach ing" and Rev. MT. Hutchins will read the paper.
