WHAT IS & PUNERAL2
Novel Point Raised in the Case of a
Shipwrecked Sailor.

NoFei Point Raised in the Case OF a
Shipwrecked Sailor.
Justice Carroll at the City Hall has a
question to consider which is somewhat
novel 1t is this, What constitutes a
funeral? Timothy Linehan went to sea
and was drowned in shipwreck. He was
member of Pohonachee Tribe No. 10 of
the Improved Order of Red Men. Suit
has been brought to recover $100, the
amount OF funeral expenses as prescribed
IL the bylaws of the order to which he
belonged. As he was shipwrecked there
were, necessarily, no funeral services at
sea. Was there any funeral on shoreP
Ex-J udge Lauterbach appeared before
Justice Carroll yesterday to argue that
there has been no funeral. "How can there
be funeral without the presence of
corpse2" he asked. He then argued that.
in any event, the heirs OF Linehan were
not.entitled to recover for several reasons.
The first was that there has been no I'm.
neral; the second was that under the by
laws of the order suit at law was barred.
then it was also argued that because the
matter had not been appealed to the
Grand Council the heirs had not ex-
hausted out of court their means Of re-
covery.
Elizabeth Linehan brought the suit.
Her attorney argued that there really had
been a funeral on shore. requiem mass
was held, and this he construed to be
funeral.
The facts were agreed upon, and the de-
cision of the law point was lett to the
Justice as to whether requ EN- mass NAV
be legally held to be funeral.

HOW he MADE MONEY.
Prison Bars on Charge of
EmbezzIement.

Osmond L. Kelly was booked at the
City Prison yesterday by Detective Ross
Whitaker and Policeman w. Coleman, on
two charges of misdemeanor embezzle-
ment. The complaining witness is H. S.
Stedman, who has a music store at 769
Market street.
Kelly went to Stedman's store on
January u and said he wanted 10 purchase
g mandolin. He represented himself as a
brother of D. V. Kelly of the firm of Kelly
& Liebes, 120 Kearny street. He selected
an instrument costing $35. and asked to be
permitted to take it home, as he would
like to try it before concluding the pur-
chase. Permission was granted, and he
went straight to a pawnshop and got $6 so
on the mandolin.
Next day he returned to the store and
said he wanted q more expensive mando-
Ain. He promised to return the first one
bitter he had tried the other. He got one
worth $55, and also pawned it for IS so.
As he did not return the instruments,
Sted man reported the matter TO the police,
and Detective Whitaker and Policeman
Coleman were detailed on the case. They
soon recovered the two mandolins and got
a description of the man who pawled
them.
Complaints had been received at police
headquarters about man who had been
obtaining money and goods by represent
ing himself as the brother of D. V. Kelly,
and It was suspected that the same man
was the operator in each case.
Rev. Father Byrnes Of st. Mary's
Cathedral was victimiZed to the extent Of
$40. George L. Beck, druggist, 627 Larkin
street, is out S5 worth of drugs, and a
druggist on Polk and o Farrell streets IS
also a victim.
Kelly was located at 919 0 Farrell street,
but when the officers went there Tuesday
they'were informed that he had left few
hours before. a sewing machine was de-
livered at the house for Kelly shortly
after his departure, and a messenger had
called with a type-writing machine, but
refused 10 leave it unless the money was
pad, so it was not delivered Kelly was
located yesterday and was promptly ar
rested.
Kelly was arrested about eighteen
months ago for defrauding servant girls.
He and an old woman calling herself Mrs
Kelly had an EN- mployment Office in the
Flood building and got deposits from
girls wanting situations. They got notes
to different houses, but on calling there
found there was no vacancy. Complaint
was made to the police and Kelly and the
old woman we're arrested. They got out
of the difficulty by refunding the money.
Kelly went to Los Angeles and returned
about six weeks ago. The police believe
that he has victimiZed large mum her of
people who have not yet been heard from.

BUTTE TEAM SUSPENDED.
Amateur Association Demands Posses
sion of Charity Game Re-
ceipts.

The disposition of the gate receipts of
the Butte Olympic football game for char
ity is still q matter OF contention. Moth
ing has yet been done with the money,
some $3.50, which is in possession of Pres
ident Newhall Of the olympic Club. A
long, animated meeting of the Pacific
Amat eur Association was held last night,
when several representatives of the Olym-
pic football team and Mr.. Fitzgerald
of the Reliance Club, as represe ntative
for Butte, appeared and presented their
side of the case.
Then to further emphasize and define
it's position, the association adopted the
following resolution:
ResotUed, That the game played on January
/, 1897, between the Butte and Olympic foot
ball teams was for charity and that the pro-
ceeds, less the expenses of the grounds, labor
and advertising, were TO he entrusted to the
sociation, and that the same be placed IN the
custody of c. ]. Bosworth, as trustee for the
Pacific Amateur Association.
A committee consisting of Reinhardt Of
the University of California, Rothkopf
and SWEET was appointed from the board
of managers of the am mateur association to
examine further into the merits of the
All concerned agreed that the proposition
had been, as maintained by the president
of the association, game for charity with
expenses allowed only tor grounds and
advertising, but as a matter of equity and
financial hardship the Olympic Club rep
representative re asked for consid crate
in depreciation of the off-hand agreement
made dusing the urgency of arranging for
game of some sort. The Olympic rep
resntative said that the football season
meant loss of from $1,000 to $500 to the
club
A ban was placed on the'Butte players.

Consumptive Cows.

Herman Vogel. butcher, San Bruno
road and Silver avenue, was convicted in
Judge Conlans court yesterday of violat-
ing the health ordinance by killing cow
outside of the prescribed limits. and was
ordered to appear for sentence to-day.
VogeI was arrested Tuesday night by
Meat Inspector Davis and Policeman But
terworth. They had been watching him
for some time, and about dusk Tuesday
night they saw his wife locking the door
of the shop. They burst open the door
and ran to the rear. Vogel heard them
coming and blew out the light.
Davis lit match and ordered Vogel to
throw up his hands, which he promptly
did. They found that Vogel had Just
killed a consumptive cow for man
named Solomon, as he wanted to earn
dollar.

''Such court can be provided for by a
simple amendment to the constitution,
adding additional sections TO those now
within that instrument and without
eliminating any therefrom. The plan
now before the Bar Association is so
lengthy that it will not be generally read,

WILL DEFEAT THE BILL.
The SOuthwick Convict Goods Measure
Not Likely Ever to Be
Reached.

There Is considerable apprehension on
the part of the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association that the Congressional
bill that is intended to put stop to the
of convict made goods
from one State to another and compelling
the branding of such goods so that people
will know what they are buying, will
never be passed by Congress. The local
organization has done all in its power to
have the matter taken up in earnest at
Washington, and while the entire Pacific
Coast delegation is in favor of the measure
it is still likely to fall by the wayside.
The Cham ber of Commerce took up the
question and gave its hearty Endorsement
to the bill.
Not only ere the Pacific Coast manufac-
turers keenly alive to the importance of
the proposed law, but New York has
1allen into line ond at its State prison all
machinery for the manufacture OF goods
competing with free labor has been aban-
eoned and such work as is being done is
performed by hand. 1t is New York
Congressman, George n. Southwick, who
introduced the bill in question, and he
even is fearful of its passage, as indicated
by the. e.annexed letter received yesterday
by the President of the Manufacturers
Association:
