An Insane Man Turned Away
From the Receiving Hes
pital.
JUDGE sANDERsoN's ORDER.
l. G. FredrickSon's Friends Finally
Appealed to the Court for
Assistance.

1t took an order of court signed by Supe-
rior Judge Sanderson to get l. G. Fredrick-
son, man whose mental condition rem
dered it necessary that he should be
restrained, into the Receiving Hospital
yesterday to await an examination by the
authorities as to his fitness to be at large.
Fredrickson's friends have noticed for
several days that his actions were strange,
and yesterday they came to the conclusion
that his mind was unbalanced and that
he should be taken care OF in some secure
place until he either recovered or was de-
clared insane.
He was accordingly placed in a hack
and conveyed to the Receiving Hospital.
where the physician in charge was re-
quested to admit him until he could be
taken care of elsewhere, the representa-
ton being made that he was likely to in
jure himself or others if not kept in re-
straint. The answer was that the hospital
was full and that the man must be taken
to some other institution. In vain the
friends who were caring for Fredrickson
expostulated. The physician was obdu-
rate, and the man, who was becoming
violent was taken to the City Prison, his
friends not knowing where else to leave
him. Here he was put into an ordinary
cell, the prison furnishing no other ac-
commodations, and those who had inter-
ested themselves in his behalf hurried off
to ascertain what course to pursue to have
him properly careo for.
An attorney was consulted and he coun-
seled calling on the Superior Court. Judge
Sanderson was indignant when he learned
of the refusal of the Receiving Hospital
authorities to admit Fredrickson.
Draw up an order of court directing
the physician in charge to admit this man
Immediately" he said, 'and l will
sign it."
Within a few moments Fredrickson's
friends had procured the order and were
back at the prison, where two stalwart po-
licemen were keeping sharp watch on
the man to prevent his injuri1g hims self
by dashing his head against the iron bars
or stone walls of the cell.
The Receiving Hospital people made no
further objection to receiving Fredrickson
when the order of court was presented to
them, and be was made as comfortable as
the circumstances would permit. 1t is be-
ieved that Fredrickson's alteration is not
OF a permanent character, and that with
proper treatment he will recover within
short time.
An effort will be made TO have Judge
Sanderson join with Judge Hebbard in
trying to induce the Supervisors to make
proper provision for insane patients at the
Receiving Hospital.

About year ago Mr.. Kruttschnitt took
a trip over the Chicago and Alton Railroad,
which has had the gated cars in use for
the past two or three years with very sat
isfactory results, and was much impressed
with the innovation and concluded to
adopt the device on the Atlantic system

BRITISH RECRUITING,
Secretly Carried on in This Country
During the Crimean War.

Secretly Carried on in This Country
During the Crimean War.
In the North American Continent the
spirit of adventure is strong. During the
Crimean War l was an attache at the
Washington legation, and as this was
about forty years ago, 1 do not suppose
that am disclosing secrets in saying what
then occurred. We received orders to re-
cruit force for the Crimea. This was a
fad of Lord Panmore, who was then War
Minister
Sir John Champion. our Minister, vainly
wrote to explain that this might get lis into
trouble with the United States Govern
ment. The only reply was an order to
obey. So we did. ] was sent TO New York
to look after the recruiting there. We had
ship in the harbor and we found no
difficulty in filling it. A recruiter got IS
per man, and the man So, accompanied
with many promises OF good things.
When the ship was full it was sent to
Novia Scotia, where we had as
Governor an old soldier with the
reputation of being able to knock any regi-
ment into shape. Ghe Government of the
United States soon got wind of our pro-
ceedings at New York, and at Niagara,
where we had Hungarian employed to
slip recruits across the frontier. The re-
suit was that the members of the legation
at Washington and the Consuls at New
York and one or two other places received
their passports. What particularly amused
me was that the Consul at New York had
had nothing TO do with the matter.
But we had elaborated q far grander
scheme. We had found a sort of filibuster-
ing general, who had agreed to provide us
with several thousand men, who were to
be recruited in Texas and the adjoining
Southern States. These were to be COM
manded by the general. The negotiations
went off because while we were prepared
to give him the local rank of general in the
Crimea he insisted upon being made what
he called a full general in the British army.
To this we could not assent.
| never could discover what became OF
my New York recruits. They were landed
III Nova Scotia, and shortly afterward the
Governor telegraphed that they had re-
belled, and that be was going to take steps
to reduce them to fitting state of dis
cipline. This was the last heard of them.
The Governor was omewhat of a dun
derheaded man. We wanted q forget
why) to have a ship sent from Nova Scotia
to Jamaica. We had cipher dictionary,
but l could not find the word Jamaica in
1t, so l telegraphed the code words for
liam" and "acre." This was too much
for the Governors intelligence. Again
and again he telegraphed to ask where the
ship was 10 go; again and again | tele-
graphed back referring him to the code
words for ''jam"-'acre.' Finally we had
to send messenger with letter.-London

THE BRIDGE PROBLEM.
Council May Fence 1t Up to Save Max
ing Repairs.


OAKLAND, CAL, April 3O.-The Coun-
Gil is wrestling with the problem which is
presented by the Eighth-street bridge over
the estuary to East Oakland. 1t has been
declared unsafe, and yet it is used by an
electric line and the public at large. The
Finance Committee has decided that it will
be cheaper to fence up the street entirely
than to pay some big damage awards.
There are no funds available this fiscal
year to make the necessary repairs. Street
Superintendent Miller considers this the
proper thing under these circumstances,
as the city would be very liable to get
into some big damage suits If the bridge
was not Immediately repaired or closed.
City Attorney Peirsol was instructed to
look up the law as to whether the city had
power to fence up the tracks of an electric
line, as would have to be done if the bridge
was fenced. He will present. resolution
to the Council Monday night in accord
ance with his findings.
The bridge carries the 30-inch water
main of the Contra Costa Water Company,
and the company is now taking the pre-
llminary steps to remove it to the Twelfth
street dam. This move is in accordance
with recent resolution of the Council.
A horse belonging to the Western Meat
Company was so seriously injured on the
bridge recently that ii had to be killed
There is now bill before the Council for
$500. Another big break is reported in
the ola structure, but the floor will be
patched so as to stand until the necessary
legal steps can be taken to close it to all
traffic.

OAKLAND, CAL, April GA meeting
OF the members of the suspended Lyon
Post, q. A. r., was held last night, and it
was practically decided that the best thing
to do was to wait quietly till the ninety
days were up, and then to commence
again and forget about the recent troubles.
A committee of two was appointed to con-
slider the turning out of the members on
Memorial day. They cannot parade as a
post. so they will probably appear as an
