DRAIN OF GOLD IS STOPPED.

The enforcement of the rule prohibiting
Assistant Treasurers of the United States
from paying gold for silver certificates
has caused considerable inconvenience to
the business community, as all violent
and sudden changes in financial methods
are likely TO do.
Recently, Assistant Treasurer Berry saw
indications of a rush for gold and an in
tiux OF silver into the treasury, and in
order to prevent the great drain of gold
which wouid take place to the detriment
of the efficiency of the Sub-Treasury Mr..
Berry gave orders that the standing rules
should be enforced. The important rules,
the enforcement of which has caused all
the hubbub, are the following:
Silver certificates are redeemaDle in standard
silver dollars only, o. exchangeable for other
silver eertifcat tes. National bank notes are re-
deemable IN lawful money or the United States
by the Treasurer, but not by the assistant
Treasurer.
According to the rule national bank
notes to be cashed must be delivered to the
Treasurer at Washington and are not re-
deemable at the various sub-treasuries.
1t was because of the trouble expense ana
delay besides the risk of loss in transmits
sion that impelled a certain bankeryester-
day to refuse to cash Eastern bank notes.
A rumor was prevalent in financial cir
CieS yesterday IuOIulDS W tHc euSCG Ln6L
certain City banks had established dis
count rate on silver. The managers of
leading commercial banks were inter-
viewed by a CALL reporter and each de-
MED that his bank was exacting a dis
count on silver when converted into gold.
1t was stated, however, that the cause of
the rumor was the enforcement of the
rule that silver certificates and not gold
should be paid out at the Sub-Treasury for
silver.
Assistant United States Treasurer
Berry said that it had been the custom
hitherto, although against the rules, to
exchange gold for silver, or for anything
else that came into the Sub-Treasury.
From now on the rule will be observed,
and silver certificates will be given in ex-
change for silver.
Manager Bigelow of the Nevada Bank
said that when large round sums of silver
were deposited with the expectation that
those deposits would be withdrawn in the
shape of gold, discount would neees-
sariiy have to be charged by the banks to
protect themselves against loss in the
present disturbed and feverish condition
of the financial world.

Pleads Guilty to Collins Charge
of Assault and
Battery.
THREATENS ATTORNEY REED
Warns Sketch Artists Not to Draw
His Picture-Case Continued
TO This Morning.

David Neagle, the Southern Pacific man
who recently threatened Editor Barry of
The Star, was up before the police court
yesterday forenoon on charges of battery
and breach of the peace. On Wednesday
of last week he forclbly moved A J..
Collins, a peddler of knife and razor
sharpeners. away from the entrance to the
railroad offices, and Immediately after he
took the peddler by the throat and banged
his head against the stonework of the
railroad building, corner of Montgomery
and Market streets. Neagle pleaded guilty
to the charge OF battery, but asked that
the charge of disturbing the peace be dis
missed as superfuous.
If he hoped to have the case quietly dis
posed of with only fine contributed from
the Golfers of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, he was disappointed. There were
unexpected and interesting developments
in store for the expectant crowd that had
gathered in the small courtroom of De-
partment4 4
Charles Wesley Reed, the attorney, was
there and Immediately interposed an OBJ
stacle to the Neagle plan by requesting that
he be permitted to introduce witnesses to
show the nature and extent OF the battery.
"I have pleaded guilty. That is all there
is to it," declared the irate defendant.
Judge Low confessed. however, that he
was ignorant of the whole case and evinced
a willingness to be enlightened on the sub
ject of the battery.

elderly gentleman, was called TO the stand

BRAUNSCHWE|GER'S MIND
Judge Sanderson Decides That
Sadie Nichols Husband Is
Not Insane.
He Is Irrational When He Is Intoxi.
Gated, but Not Subject for
an Asylum.

Herman Braunschweiger Jr. was before
Judge Sanderson yesterday on,a charge Of
insanity preferred by his father. Braun
schweiger is the young man who a few
days ago went on spree and married
Sadie Nichols, the keeper of an Eddy
street lodging-house. Mrs. Braun
schweiger Jr. was in court yesterday and
testified in her husbands behalf
The mother of the accused testified that
her son is "a years OF age; has at times
had an over-fondness for drink, and that
she considered him weak minded. This
mental weakness, she says, is worse wben
he Is drinking. She considers that his
impaired intellect is due to an attack of
heart trouble, which the young man ex-
perienced when boy. Last May young
Braunschweiger went to the Home of the
Inebriates for treatment for the liquor
habit, since which time he has held him.
self straight until last week, when he
ag ain began to drink heavily, and during
his spree married Sadie Nichols.
Mrs. Braunschweiger said she feared
that Herman might commit suicide, as he
had said he felt very bad over the shame
lie had brought on his family. The father
of the young man also was fearful as to
his sons life.
Braunschweiger Sr testified that when
his son was drinking he did not know
what he was doing. He said that if the
young man had been sober he would never
have married Sadie Nichols. The witness
reluctantly acknowledged that there was
a taint of insanity in the family, and said
he desired to have his son placed in some
institution where he could be taken care of.
William Craig, an attorney, and an old
friend of the family, testified that two
cousins of Herman Braunschweiger Sr.
had committed suicide while confined in
an asylum, and that an uncle of the ac-
cused was now confined in Folsom prison.
because of forgery committed while tenn
porarily deranged.
The accused spoke in his own behalf
saying that he had been drinking before
the marriage and afterward, but that he
formed. He claimed to be sane and said
he could take care of himself. He ac-
knowledged having taken treatment for
the liquor habit.
Sadie Nichols, or Mrs. Braunschweiger
Jr., corroborated her husband 8 testimony
as to his condition at the time of the
wedding. She said it was not a hasty
marriage, but that the matter had bee5
talked over between herself and her hus-
band several times before. She did not
believe him insane and had never noticed
anything to indicate that such was fact.
Judge Sanderson, after listening to ali
the evidence. ordered the prisoner re-
leased. His Honor said that, although
drinking, he was no fit subject for an in
sane asylum.
Braunschweiger Jr. at once left the
courtroom with his wife

officer. Then called for some one to call
an officer"
Here Neagle again burst in and de-
manded: Ibid Mr.. Reed go and dig you
up and get you to make this complaint?"
"No, SIR" answered the pe6dler, II saw
this case about the attack on Barry, and
that this Mr.. Cubery said he was willing
TO come and testify about this other cage,
and SO 1 came myself"
The defendant, Neagle, emerged from
the crowd and took the witness-chair on
his own behalf. "I heard" he began,
that this man was around there all
the forenoon a-shaking razor and
a-threatening. 1 just put my hand on
him and run him around the corner away
from the crowd. AS far as butting his
head against the building 1 didn't do
nothing of the kind"
Fortunately for Neagle he had not come
to court relying implicitly upon the effect
of his plea OF guilty. He had few trump
cards in reserve.

clerk as the second witness for the defense

before given valuable suggestions again
came to the assistance of the man who
does not wish TO be sketched and called
Mr.. NeagIes attention to another artist on
the other side of the room. The NeagIe
ire was rising, for his threatening finger
would not be noticed by the more distant
offender.
But just then Mr.. Neagle's attention
was called in another direction. Mr..
Reed was asking, DO you know the de-
fendant, Mr.. Neagle? What is Mr.. Neagle's s
employment? Do you know his reputa-
tion.'
That was too much for the distressed
defendant. He forgot the artists. He
stormed forth, 81 don't see what my repu-
ta:ion has got to do with it, your Honor.

restrained the impulsive Mr.. Neag1e as he
was moving threateningly toward Reed.
