GROEZINGHR IS ANGRY.
He Claims to Have the Right
to Represent jerks in
Court.
Says That the Judgment Was Not
Recorded as Rendered by
Judge Conlan

Justice of the Peace Groezinger is yery
indignant with Judge Conlan, and claims
that The newspapers have misrepresented
him In the jerks case. He denies that
he appeared in the case because jerks
had no money 10 pay his fine and would
have to go TO Jail, unless the judgme 1T

While discussing the matter last night
Groezinger said: Il entered in this case

Yellow Journalism Fails to
Record the Climax to It's
Own EndeaVor.
It's Theft of a Copy of 1.-THE
Call" Not Mentioned in
It's Columns.
One of the Feats and Defeats of the
Examiner Recalled in
Friendly Spirit.

Yesterday morning tue Examiner had
a chance to relate story of rare interest
indeed. 1 could have told how one of its
reporters, detailed to steal CALL fresh
from the press, had done so; how the re-
porter was caught yellow handed how he
was chased to the den OF the Hearstlings.
deprived of his booty, thumped on the
stairs, bumped on the street. But it
didn't say a word. However, it printed
the picture of one of its feminine exiles-a
picture that smiles from its pages every
time horse keels over on a Kiondike
trail or a canoe upsets its contents into
the Yukon.
For long time no strictly local episode
has attracted so much attention as this
baffied attempt at theft. 1t was small
matter, but so in keeping with the small
souls regulating the Examiner that it
caused no surprise. The comment arose
from the stupidity of a practiced larcen-
ist permitting itself to be caught. The
suspicion that such methods were in
dorsed by the Examiner simply received
confirmation.
Perhaps brief resume of the event may
not be out of place. The Examiner had
reason to believe, as it often has and often
will, that The CALL had some news that
1t had not been able TO procure; so it sent
reporter over TO steal a copy of The
CALL. choosing for the purpose a prize
fighter. He stole as directed, but was
caught in the act, chased, larruped
given a lesson in decency and deprived of
his spoils. The climax of this series of
operations took place within the Exam
iner office and yet that paper utterly
failed to recognize its news value. The
excellent opportunity to depict the light
fingered reporter with his jaw in a sling
was absolutely overlooked. Yet every
time that in the far-away Arctic Joaquin
Milier's whiskers are whisked into new
attitude the Examiner, so far as its power
is, lets the world know all about it.
There Is no desire manifest to debar SAT-
from journalism from any of its customary
avenues of information. There is a wis
that its work be less crude, that it lose its
Barbary Coast flavor, that it keep its rui-
fanly repor ers where they cannot annoy
people engaged in getting out q newspa-
per. OF course, the Examiner is not ex-
pected TO have much IN common with a
newspaper, and yet it goes through some
OF the formula of being a newspa per and
is understoo 10 be 10 a certain extent ad-
mitted to the mails. Societies for the pre-
vention of crime are naturally supposed
to keep an eye upon it, but in this period
OF lis decadence the necessity may arise
for calling in the police.

Postmaster Montague Will
Swing the AK in His De-
partment.
BIG SHAKING UP Is CONTEMPLATED.
Numerous Clerks in the Upper Office
to Be Lowered in Rank
Forthwith.

1t has been learned, through authentic
sources, that John L. Meares, superin-
tendent OF the city delivery of the San
Francisco Postoffice is to be reduced in
rank in the very near future by Pos:mas-
ter w. w. Montague.
1t is alleged that one of the latter's
friends, whose name is held secret. is to
nil the Office left vacant by the deposed
Meares.
When the new Postmaster was appoint
ed under the present administration the
clerks and carriers of this division, who
are always fairly well acquainted with the
workings OF the upper office" immedi-
ately predicted the removal of Meares
entirely, or, at least, a reduction in his
rank as superintendent. Each day they
have looked forward patiently waiting TO
hear of Meares' dismissal, or at least of a
reduction in his rank, and they ere ali
very much surprised that the Postmaster
has not as yet openly declared his inten-
tions.
Mr. Montague, the Postm aster, was
seen yesterday morning, and when ASKED
to either affirm or deny the rumor afioat
in the Federal building, that Meares was
TO be deposed, said: II am not answer
ing any questions now. When III ng is
done. I'll tell you all about it. At present
1 am not making my plans for the future
known. In fact, l should say, l do not
know what they will be-"
AS usual, all the attaches of the upper
Office lodged questions regarding
Meares' much-talked-of dismissal, by
stating that they were not in position
TO air their thoughts or opinions as to the
future course to be pursued by their
chief.
However, it is an open secret that
Meares will not hold his position as super
intendent for any great length of time.
He has been marked by the Postmaster
for either reduction in rank or an entire
dismissal from Uncle Sans employ; this
is certain.
Meares was appointed some years ago to
his present position by the late Postmas-
ter McCoppin, with whom he was great
favorite. Not a very long time after
Meares' appointment the Pos master
General informed the various division

The Captain Contracted Big
Bills for Lessons and "
Mounts.

San Francisco Riding
Club.
The Leader of Troop A 0aVorted
When His Horses Were Eating
Their Managers.

Captain jerks of Battery A, n. q. O.,
may not have rese m bled his illustrious
namesake OF the horse marines in feeding
his nags on corn and beans, but recent
DEVELOPMENTS would make it appear that
there was another particular, that of liv.
ing beyond his means, il which ho did.
To be plain, there are bills Tor Injuries
that the bedizened militiaman neglected
to pay, and they going to cause him
trouble in the Justice Court.
The captain apparently aspired to shine

and expense was no consideration with
him. What mattered it if the horses of
the troop were almost dropping from
hunger and exhaustion? The leader of
the troop must learn to sit with military
dignity on a weary back to charm the
multitude when parade days came.
So the jerks hieG him to the establish
ment of the exclusive San Francisco Rid

or otherwise, is always welcome and, join

dltion to much more for. horses hired
from the establishment for rides to the
park and elsewhere.
Probably the troop horses were not
fiery enough to suit the captains aristo-
cratic taste. In August Captain jerks
joined the Friday class and was the adj
mred of the elite while the horses he was
supposed to keep in feed were growing
bonier day by day.
