MISSION REPUBLICANS.
Meeting of the Executive Committee o
the Thirty Fourth District.

Meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Thirty-Fourth District.
The executive committee of the Thirty
fourth Assembly District Republican Club
held brief but important and spirited
meeting at Sixth and Mission streets Friday
evening under the direction of Chairman
Charles Mayer and Secretary S. M. Will
liams.
In calling the meeting to order the
chairman stated that one of the most i'm
portant matters before the committee was
the arrangements for the participation by
the club in the ratification meeting to be
held the night following the nominations
at st. Louis.
Messrs. G. w. Elder, Cord Wetien and
F. J. Hurst, constituting the finance COM
mittee of the club, were instructed to pro-
coed to raise the necessary funds, and a
committee of arrangements consisting OF
e. w. Eustice, William Whan, George
Dieterle, James e. Ellington and Joseph
Becsey was given full power to act for the
proper representation of the club at the
ratification.
After the regular meeting E. W. Eustice
called meeting of the finance committee
and committee of arrangements and it was
decided to have three transparencies, q
band and calcium lights for the line of
march, the members to rendezvous at Six
teenth and Mission streets on the night of
the ratification.

HE SENDS HIS
WIFE OUT TO BEG
Paul Vannek Forces His
Helpmate to Solicit
Charity.
PREFERS TO PLAY NURSE
Washes and Cooks While His
Better Half Seeks Aid
From Merchants.
SHE Is ALMOST a CRIPPLE.
Rain or Shine, However, She Plies Her
Vocation-Son and Daughter of
Professional Bsggars.

There are beggars and beggars. Some
solicit aims from necessity, others in
sweet charity's name, while there are not
few who beg because it is an easy way to
make both ends meet, and incidentally
put by few pennies for the proverbial
rainy day.
To this latter class belong Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Vannek of 1887 Stockton street. The
husband is fit subject for police inyesti-
cation, though the wife is hardly less Gull
pable because of her quiet submission to
the brutal greed and avarice of her lord
and master.
The Vanneks are peculiar people and
they come from family not one whit less
strange. In fact they, with the parents
on both sides, may be said to be a family
OF professional beggars, successful almost
beyond belief in their fra udulent calling.
The wife of Vannek up to eighteen
months ago lived with her parents some
where in the Mission. Marie, for that is
the girls name, assisted her mother in
supporting family of eight including
the father and husband, who, it appears,
was really a fit subject for charity because
of certain physical deformities. 1t was an
easy matter to gather in the sheckles. The

new trial, and as to him the case may be dis
missed, for the evidence of The prosecuting
witness shows that Collins came to warn Mars
and his son and not to injure them. That evil
dence clearly showed that he had no intent to
do wrong, and as he WAS not an actual wrong
doer there is no evidence to support the YER
dict against him.
The motion of the other defendants for a
new trial has been denied Now judgment is
10 be pronounced against them. The matter
OF judgment has troubled me a great deal.
Since have been on the bench I have never
had any case before me that has given me so
much concern.
The prisoners were striking fathers, and
they went to the building where Mars and his
son were engaged in lathing with the plan
ana intention OF compelling them by force
and numbers to quit work. They did compel
Mars and his son to quit work, and in the
midst OF the alteration assaulted and beat
them. ordinarily, the case would have been
one OF assault and battery; but the arteries of
the elder Mars were in an atheromatOus (cal-
carious and non-elastic) condition, and blows
such as he received upon the head, which to q
person in good physical condition would not
have been productive of serious consequences,
might 10 person in his condition cause the
rupture OF an artery ana, as consequence,
death. The evidence tended to show that the
mediate cause of Mars death was the as
sault upon him by the strikers.
The acts of the strikers were not within the
law. No person has any right, by violence or
unlawful means to prevent ano Their from pur-
suing lawful trade or calling, or from doing
any other lawful act. But the strikers intend
eu Dy Iorce ~ lndhe nldts anu LIS son qulC
work--probably intended to beat them for the
sake of example-but had no intent to take
life.
But for the unintended death the facts
would ordinarily have made out case OF as
sault and battery-an offense of a misde-
meanor grade, punishable by fine or imprison-
ment in the County Jail. Say there was feud
between two men and they were to meet, and
one were to strike the other with his fist and
knock him down; ordinarily the offense would
be assault and battery. But say the person
knocked down had heart disease and the blow
accelerated his death. Clearly the offense, as
against society, is not of the same grade-does
not require as severe punishment as where
man is shot and killed on the instant. In the
battery case there is an entire lack OF motive
and intent to take life
The punishment must be imprisonment in
! the State Prison, and, under the circum-
stances, think it should be Tor a minimum
term.
An appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court

SENTENCED TO
STATES PRISON.
Fate Of the Striking Lath-
erS Who Caused Mars
Death.
TO SERVE ONE YEAR.
The Jury Found Them Guilty,
but Did Not Want Them
Punished.
A VERY PECULIAR VERDICT.
Judge Belcher Believes There Was
No Premeditated Murderous
Intention.
A VERY PECULIAR VERDICT.

Despite the efforts OF the jury in the case
of James Holmes, William Starr, D. Dunn,
J. D. McRea, Neal Collins, w. Bowling, E.
G. Waltz and Walter Mccoy, the striking
fathers who on March 10 beat c. A. Mars
to death on Welch street to protect the de-
PENDANTS from the consequences of their
crime, Judge Belcher yesterday sentenced
six of them to serve one year each in San
Quentin.
OF the others J. D. McRea was acquitted
and Neal Collins was granted new trial,
it having been Shown that he endeavored
to save Mars by getting him away from
the gang.
The case has been peculiar one. The
jury, on the evidence presented could only
bring in q verdict of guilty, but tried to
shield the defendants as much as possible.
They presented a paper which read
I'VE, the jury, find the defendants guilty
of involuntary manslaughter, not felony,
and recommend them to the extreme
mercy of the court"
Atterward the attorneys for the defense
tied to introduce an affidavit signed by
the members of the jury stating that it
was neither the desire nor intention OF
that body that the defendants should be
punished. Judge Belcher, however, re-
fused to hear the affidavit read.
The words of the verdict were, to say the
least, confusing. Involuntary manslaugh-
ter is a felony, according to the Penal
Code, and the introduction of the words
mot a felony" mixed matters, so that his
Honor took several days 10 consider.
Yesterday, in giving his decision, Judge
Belcher said:

Will Render a Varied Programme al
odd Fellows Hall.
The pupils of the Polytechnic High
School are taking departure from the old
custom of holding graduating exercises at
their school building. They have almost
completed carefully selected programme
of vocal and instrumental numbers, which,
with the addition of a well-staged farce in
three acts entitled THE Society Report
er's Christmas" will be presented to their
many friends and former classmates at
Odd Fellows Hall tomorrow evening at
s o'clock. The affair will be concluded
with dance and be the occasion of the
reunion of the graduates of the school.
As the pupils receive no funds from the
department an admission fee of so cents
will be charged. and judging from the
efforts OF the mem bers of the school and
of the alumni, who have the handling of
the tickets, the young folks will meet with
deserving success in their well-merlted
effort to present an attractive and enter
tanning programme.
The class of $50 is particularly fortunate
in having in its ranks excellent talent,
who will make the entertainment and
dance an occasion that will be borne in
pleasant remem brance by those who at
tend.

THE NEW CHARTER.
An Effort TO Have 1t Placed at the
Head of the Ballot.


Secretary ]. Richard Freud of the Mer-
chants Association yesterday forwarded
to the Board of Election Commissioners

passed by the association relative to plac-
ing the matter OF the proposed new char
ter on the next ticket. The resolution is
as follows:

Der 8 of this year; and whereas there will be
ninety-one offices to be voted upon at that
election, making, in case of three parties, 273
names upon the electoral ballot; and whereas,
the examination of such a long ticket will pre-
vent many electors from voting upon the final
portion of the ballot; and whereas, it is neces-
sary and highly important that full and fair
expression OF all the qualified electors of San
Francisco be secured upon the adoption or re-
lection of the new charter; therefore be it
.ResOtUed, That the Election Commissioners
and Registrar are hereby earnestly requested
to place the words, "For the new charter" or
Against the new charter" at the head of the
municipal portion of the ticket; that special
committee of five be appointed by the presi-
dent of this meeting to present certified copy
of these resolutions to the Election Commits
sioners and Registrar at their next meeting,
and to report the result to the president of this
meeting.
The comm ittee consists of Joseph Brit
tan, James d. Phelan, Hugh Craig, l. j.
Truman and Hugo D. Keil.
