OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
sos Broadway, April g.
An incident of interest to the whole
State transpired recently which will cause
test of the constitutonality of the race
bill passed by the last Legislature.
William Pctt, colored man, living in
this city, went into a barber-shop for the
purpose of being shaved. The establish
ment is conducted by white BARRIERS and
patronized exclusively by that race. Pott
was looked upon as e curiosity, and after
he took off his coat and collar he walked
toward one of the chairs and was per-
mitted to seat himself. AS soon as he
said that he wanted shave he was in
formed that he could not be accommo-
dated. Pott had anticipated this, and he
informed the proprietor that under the
new civil rights bill he would have an ac-
ton for damages. But the barber said he
would take chances, and declined the
work.
After leaving the barbsr shop Pott
hunted up an attorney and expressed his
intention Of at once commencing an
action for damages. AS the bill had not
been sent out in the statutes for 1897 ap-
pIication was made to Sacramento for o
certified copy. 1t arrived this morning
from Secretary of State Brown and con-
tains the following paragraph:
That all citizens within the Jurisdiction ot
this State shall be entitled TO the full and
equal accommodations, advantages, facilities
and privileges OF inns, restaurants, hotels
eating houses. barber shops, lighthouses
theaters skating Kinks, and all other places OF
public accommodation or amusement subject
only 10 the conditions and limitations esia b.
lis he'd by law and applicable alike to all citi
Zens
Suit will be commenced at once and
both colored and white people ali over the
State will be greatly interested in the re
suit. Potts friends IN this city have de-
clded 10 put up purse and carry the case
to the Supreme Court if they are defeated
in the lower tribunal.
White proprietors of places m entioned in
| the act are also interested in the result, fol
| they declare that it will be i'm POSSIBLE tC
enfore the law, even il it be held TO be
valid. On former occasions some trouble
| has resulted when white folks have been
expected to sit at table with colored peo-
| pie, and the hotel proprletors are anxious
to beat the law.
Many attorneys have expressed opinions
on the matter. T. +. Garrity will fight
the case on behalf of the coIored folks.
On the other hand ex-Judge Nusbaumer
says he believes the bill to be unconstit1l-
tional as regards barber-shops. He says
he does not see how one man can com pel
another TO render personal service agains ST
his will.
In the Judicial Committee of the House
and Senate this question was thoroughly
discussed before the bill was recommended
for passage, and it was decided by bot
those bodies that the bill would stand.
The outcome, therefore, would be of equal
interest to attorneys and others.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when

times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up TO the mental suffering day or

such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until 1t was question whether he had not
better take a dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of com binat ton
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak
emaciated parts TO natural size and vigor. and
he now declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and address may
have the method OF this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when say free l mean absolutely

Against the Warnings of the Coz.
ductor He Persisted in V!olat.
ing the Ordinance.

W. B. Bradbury, the wellknown capi-
talist and millionaire living at 1900 Van
Ness avenue. has the honor of being the
first victim OF the ordinance recently
passed by the Board OF Supervisors max
ing 1t misdemeanor for any one to eI.
pectorate on the floors of streetcars and
public buildings or on the sid walks.
The alleged offense was committed on
the evening of March 26, in car 506 Of the
Sacram ento-street line, of which II. J.
was The conductor.
According to the conductors statement
the car left the ferry on March 26 at 1927
P. NJ. Between Drumm and Davis streets
Huth observed Bradbury expectorating e on
the floor of the car, and he politely drew
his attention to the notice posted up in
the car, and requested him not to use the
floor as cuspidor.
How dare you speak to mev said
Bradbury. "Pll spit just where have a
mind to-"
Huth went out to the dummy to collect
some fares and told the eripman what
Brad bury had done, and as he again en-.
Tered the car Bradbury expectorated on
the floor.
Huth again rem onstrated with him, ant
Brad bury said: 81 don't care what you
say. l have paid my fare, and you can
tell E. 2. Vining that l. II spit on the floor
of his cars when / wish to.'
How would you feel if l were TO spit
on your carpetP' asked Huth.
This isn't a carpet" replied Brad bury.
mo, retorted Huth, ''but have 20 keep
it clean, and l don't want you to spit on
it."
Bradbury asked for the conductors s
name and told him he would make it hot
for him. He tantalized the conductor by
continuing TO expectorate on the floor,
and when he left the car at Van Ness ave-
nue. he expectorated on the platform be-
fore stepping off.
Huth sent in report of the case to the
uperintendent, detailing the facts as re-
lated. and Attorney Kelly was instructed
to take action against the capitalist.
Yesterday morning Conductor Huth
appeared before Judge Low, accom- panied
by Attorney Kelly, and swore To the COM
plant charging Bradbury with violating
the ordinance, and warrant was issued
for his arrest.
There were three ladies in the car at the
time. and one of them, Mrs. Jenkins, 21OO
Mason street, told the conductor that she
would willingly appear as witness.
Bradbury had not been arrested up 10
late hour last night. He was seen at his
residence, and when told that The warrant
was out for his arrest for expectorating in
q cable-car he was very much surprised.

The suit on trial was brought by Ayl-
Power Company to prevent an assessment
on his stock and to compel the defendants
to fulfill their contract.
A year ago Jim Stanley, the Mission
San Jose politician, gave Mr.. Aylward an
introduction to w. J. Dingee, and the
conversation turned upon the advisability
OF making Mr.. Aylward's water plant a
profitable concern. A little later, accord
ing to Aylward's story, Mr.. Dingee's
man, Ed Vincent; w. +. Boardman, his
engineer, and Jim Stanley went to Liver
more and surveyed the property.
They were very favorably impressed
with it, and when they saw the fine sun
ply of water, the riparian rights OF which
were owned by Aylward, they reported
very favorably to Dingee. One week later
Mr.. Dinges made trip to Livermore to
see for himself what Aylwald possessed :.
Aylward placed q fine carriage at the
disposal of the party and drove them out
to the Mocho Creeks Mr.. Dingee was
very favorably impressed with the out
look. According to the witness story he
went into raptures over the prospect and
declared that sucn rights were worth $50. =
600. At that time Aylward was receiving
crty, and when he was informed that by
the judicious outlay OF about $25, 600 the
income could te increased to $1,000
month. AYlward wanted 10 get in on the
ground floor. At that time his plant was
mortgsged to Mrs. Montgomery for $1,000,
and there were no other incum Drances
upon il.
There is another water plant owned by
Mr.. Bernal, and at Mr.. Dingees sugges-
tion Aylward furnished him (Dingee)
with the data of Mr.. BernaPs plant and
course of their conversation Mr.. Dingee
stated that if Ayiward's plant would be
improved there would be no alternative
for Bernal but 10 quit.
Aylward admitted that he thought this
was pretty good scheme, and as there
were a few minutes 10 spare Mr.. Aylward
drove his guests to the top of a neigh bor-
ing hill. where they all surveyed the town
while Mr.. d D.ngee expressed his belief that
l. vermore was one of the most promising
fields for water investment that could be
found.
Some time later Aylward, Dngee and
others formed a company, ia which Mr.
Dingee holds no stock ana of which Frank
j. Mottitt is president. Aylward declares
that his stock was not to be assessed, but
recently he was served with a notice to
pay $40 share. He now wants the court
to come TO his relief and the defendants
declare that they would be only too will
ing to allow Aylward to take back his
plant if he will pay hem the monev they
have expended upon 1t. In cross-exam-
ination Aylward admitted that his plant
was pretty well worn and that he was
willing to have it improved and enlarged.
This morning the case was contin nued
till Saturday.

been peculiarly free from discord. Re-
Gently, however, according TO the COM
plain: fl-d by Mrs. Borein. her husband
has been practicing numerous bad habits.
not the least of which is indulging a taste
for liquor and neglecting his home.
A few days ago Mrs. Borein applied to
the court for temporary aIimony. A
notice OF the motion was served on Borein
and was to have been heard this morning,
but Borein cannot be found. 1t was
stated that he had crossed the State line,
had taken his trunk with him and that he
would proba bly, not return, either to listen
to the alimony proceedings or to fight the
divorce case. Before going out of the
State Mr.. Borein secured a mortgage upon
the homestead. His stepfather when he
heard Of the difficulty offered TO release
the mortgage ne held on the property
provided they would get loan upon it
for $500. They were to pay $500 TO a
party IN this city and send him the bal
ance to hold for their joint benefit.
Borein negotiated the loan, paid the $500
and sent $3.50 to the stepfather The
balance he Kept for himself. with the ex-
ception of a paltry SIS, when he gener.
ously sent to his wife.
After the divorce was filed Borein
offered to quit all his bad habits and
square up all his debts if his wife would
consent 10 the mortgage on the home
stead. She consented and the money was
raised. But she benefited very little The
parties have been married twenty-five
years, and it was a great surprise to local
society when the secrets of the Borein
home were made public in the complaint
for divorce.
The attorneys believe that he paid all
his debts, squared up his business and left
for Illinois, where his stepfather lives.
Nothing has been seen or heard of him
for week. Mrs. Borein never spoke to
him after the suit was flied and was yery
much surprised at his abrupt departure.
Her stepfather always seemed deeply in
terested in her welfare and in ali of his
letters he planned for her individual good.
If Borein has gone TO his stepiather he
will get no more than his share of the
monev raised on the homestead unless
Mrs. Borein has been very much deceived
in his character, and this she declares she
has not.
The divorce will be prosecuted and the
money will be declared community prop-
erty, and by this means Mrs. Borein hopes
to obtain her legal share.
