Into Police Captain Roberts ONCE
there yesterday afternoon entered an
aged and bent gentleman, who, at times
half blinded with tears and his utter
ances choked with emotion, related a
tale of alleged mistreatment while an

urgent request his name is not given. as

He is now 70 years Of age and bent and

land. Ore. filling the position of collec-
| tor of internal revenue in that city for
something like three years. While in
Oregon he was attacked with rheuma-
tism. and returned to San Francisco
seeking relief.
When he came back to the bay city
he says he was possessed of fortune Of
some $4,000, but. being confined to his
bed for six years. the money was nearly
dissipated. Something over a year ago
he went to st. Louis to a celebrated
German physician, whom he had faith
could cure him. and remained in hos
pital there for nearly year. His money
by this time was completely gone. but
he had secured a measure of relief and
was able to get around. From st. Louis
he came to Los Angeles arriving here
about three months ago.
Being again seized with his old mall
ady. on April 90 he entered the hospital
for treatment. He claims that he could
not stand the fare served to the inmates
and concluded to leave This he did on
Monday. but when he came to go out
was confronted by a nurse who de-
nlanded that he take bath before be-
ing discharged The old gentleman de-
clared that the tub was In a filthy con-

treatment he claims to have sustained.

were covered with black and blue welts.
where the attendants had grasped him
to drag the unwilling victim to the bath
Capt. Roberts referred him to District
Attorney James. and the latter drew up
a complaint against the two attendants
charging them with battery, which was
sworn to by the old man. They will
now have to answer In court for the
rough treatment meted out to the de-
crepit gentleman. and perhaps Incl
dentally explain the condition Of the

The way John D. Spreckels. the high
class Republican boss of San Fran
cisco, is singing the words damn" and
"lie" around at the Sacramento conven-
tion, when he talks about the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, is quite awful for a
political purist. That is the kind of
language the bosses of the other gang
use, and John, if he would retain his
prestige, must be more circumspect
when he expresses his disapproval of
the Chronicles departure from the line
of veracity. Besides. he ought to be used
to that sort OF thing now.
