interest in sliding buckle patent from
G. A. Conger covering the territorial rights
of California, Oregon, Washington and

organized the Conger Sliding Buckle Com
pany, which usurped his rights.
After hearing the evidence Judge Low
dismissed the case, as it was matter for
the civil courts. Mr.. PhiIbrook, who ap-
peared for Hollingsworth, said he would
take the case before the Grand Jury. He
also threatened to have Selvage arrested

Philbrook was excited, and when he got
outside the courtroom he remarked in Sell

Selvage imm ed1ately reported the remark
10 the Judge and Philbrook was called
into court.
The Judge demanded an explanation
from him and denied in emphatic terms
that either Selvage or any one represent
ing him had spoken to him about the case.
Mr.: Philbrook said nothing in response
and the matter was dropped.

The subject of pew rent was discussed
yesterday by the Presbyterian Ministerial
Association. Rev. S. S. Palmer of Oakland
spoke strongly against the pew-rent sys-
TEN. DR.. Minton said: ''It is question
of finance in one way, and is not so much
matter of principle as of method" The
other pastors expressed, on the whole,
opinions favorable to the abolition of pew
rents, when the financial condition of the
church made such thing possible.
Rev. DIR. Scott alluded to communica-
tion, which he stated had been received
from the Evening Post, requesting the
ministers to furnish every week items CT

INSANE TO Be CARED FOR
The Supervisors Make an Ap-
preparation for That
Purpose
IN THE RECEIVING HOSPITAL.
The Contract for Designing the Home
for Dipsomaniacs Still in the
Balance.
IN THE RECEIVING HOSPITAL.

The Board OF Supervisors are arranging
for the care of the insane who are taken
into custody and detained by the local
authorities pending an investigation into
their mental condition.
The Health and Police Committee at its
meeting on Friday decided to recommend
that the unfortunates be sent to the Home
for the Inebriates, the management of that
institution having offered to care for
thirty, more or less, at the rate OF $435 per
month.
Later special meeting of the commit
tee was held to reconsider the matter, the
members having arrived at the conclusion
that the insane should be cared for in a
public institution rather than in one con-
Quoted by private individuals.
The original recommendation was
changed to provide for an appropriation
of $500, to be used for fitting up several
rooms in the Receiving Hospital with
padded walls and other arrangements nec-
essary for the care of those who are men
tally unbalanced.
The report OF the committee was adopted
without dissenting voice, and later a
resolution providing for the immediate
expenditure of the money was passed
unanimously.
In spite of request from Mayor
Sutro that the board take no action
regarding the Pesthouse during his ab-
sence on vacation, an effort was made to
pass the resolution locating the hospital
on the Almshouse tract, and it only failed
by one vote.
AN. effcrt to postpone action for two
months was unsuccessful, and the matter
finally went over for two weeks, Super
visor Dimond stating that he would GER
talnly make an effort to have the subject
settled at that time, unless some satisiac-
tory showing could be made that site is
being negotiated for.
A communication from w. G. Little.
Mayor Sutro's agent, was read, in which
the agent announced that he was negotiat-
ing for suitable site for the hospital, and
one which he thought would be satisfac-
tory to the entire board.
An effort to settle the question whether
or not the Home for Dipsomaniacs is to be
built within the time stated III the appro-
priation came to naught, as usual. When
