DIR. Rosenau Says That Sanarellf's New
Bacteria Are Doubtful
Things,

DR.. NJ. J. Rosenau of the United States
Marine Hospital service, who is ID charge
of the quarantine station at Angel Island,
told the Microscopical Society Wednes-
day about the latest discovery OF the
cause of yellow lever, and said that the
medical world was waiting Tor it to be veri-
fed or dlsproved.
DR.. Rosenau's paper and the discussion
that followed constituted the proceedings
at the monthly meeting. The discovery
was made by DR.. Sanarelli OF Rio de ia
metro. whose report of the discovery of the
bacillus of this disease was published.
translated, in the last issue Of the sanitary
reports of the Marine Hospital service.
DR.. Rosneap said that DR.. Sanarellis
claims were rational and strong, but they
were broadly made and apparently based
on comparatively slight data. Nobody
had yet confirmed or disproved his claims
to the discovery OF bacillus which Sc
cretes in the blood and issues poison
which produces the dread disease. 1t is
currently understood that DR.. Sanarelli
has been awarded the 500 600 offered by
the Government of Brazil for the discov-
cry of the cause of yellow fever.

WRECKED HOME AND HEALTH.

Contractor KelsO Sued for SO, 900
Damages by Mrs. Minna Foerst.
John Kelso, who is accused of COMPEL
ing his workmen to toll more than eight
hours day in excavatng for the new
United States Postc flee building, has
trouble in another for m to meet. Suit
was commenced against him on Friday by
Minna Foerst to compel payment OF $40.
600 for injuries to her property and person
caused by the blasting operations of the
defendant in cutting through Railroad
avenue near Eighteenth avenue south.
Mrs Foerst asserts that while the blast
ing WAS going on ste was in constant
danger that Kelso kept huge fragments of
rock hurting through the air most of the
time, that one Of these crushed the root of
her stable and severely wounded her
shoulder, that another wrecked her
kitchen and tore through to the very
foundation of her house. and that at
different times the shingles and weather.
boarding of her home were scattered in
splinters.
The edifce was frequently shaken
violently by the frightlul conclusions
caused by the careless explosion OF giant
powder, and in consequences OF all these
things the lady thinks that she ought to
be compensated, for in addition to the
demolition of her home, she has stuff cred
! physically and mentally.

SLAVE-KEEPERS IN COURT.
A Mass of Chinese Testimony Confronts
the Mission Workers.

A Mass of Chinese Testimony Confronts
the Mission Workers.
The trial of All Leong and Sing Fa, who
are accused of keeping a minor in an i'm
moral house, was concluded before Judge
Low yesterday. The courtroom was
crowded with friends OF the mission, who
are making determined effort 10 rescue
little Wong Ling Que from life of shame,
and there was present large mum Der OF
Chinese who are interested otherwise.
Barclay Henley, who represents the
prosecution, stated to the court that he
had hoped to have the girl in question in
court that the Judge might have ocular
evidence OF her minority, but since she
had been released from tue mission on
habeas corpus proceedings all effort 10
locate her had been unavailing. William
NJ. Madden. who appeared for the defend
ants, denied that his clients knew OF her
wherea bouts
DR.. J. T. Gardner, official interpreter for
the United States courts. testified that in
his opinion Wong Ling Que was not over
Is years of age. He explained that long
experience had made him an expert in
such matters. The defense put on num-
Der of witnesses, mostly Chinese, who tes-
tilted that Leong and his wife, Fa, kept a
highly res pectabe lodging-house. The
defendants themselves testified to that
effect. Mrs Hull of the mission wa
called in rebuttal and told of damaging
admissions which the woman Sing Ia
hsd made to her.
Judge Low took the case under advise
ment until Tuesday at 10 O'Clock.

ROBLEs PERJURY CASE.
The Supreme Courf Tells How One C'
Lie With Safety.

The Supreme Courf Tells How one Can
Lie With Safety.
The Supreme Court ON Friday handed
down decision in the case of William
Robes, who was convicted of perjury In
the Aggie a bbott grand larceny case. The
fellow. in order TO get the woman Tree.
made an affidavit that he and not the
woman was the guilty party and that he
stole the money. This affidavit was used
by the at o-ney for the woman, but the
matter was so apparently false that it was
of no avail, and Robes himself was ar
rested and convicted. HIS attorney con.
tended that the Indictment was INSULT
cient, inasmueh as it did not show that
tn e defendant did make use OF the affidavit
after he signed il. The use others made
of it did not cut any figure in the matter.
Justice Garoutte, in his decision, takes a
similar view, for he says:
The Indictment must charge a crime IL
words. differences cannot be invoked to ala
charges the making of false affidavit. 1t does
not charge enough. 1t should have declared
that the affidavit was delivered with the In
tent that ii be uttered and published as true.
Such statement in the pleading is just as
necessary as to charge that the affidavit was
made by the accused, or that IL was false; II IL
were in the hands of the accused no m1schlef
was done. 1t is only when 1t leaves his hanus
that evil results follow. For the
foregoing reasons the judgment ana order are
reversed and the cause renamed.

cognizance of the philanthropy of the

gage the attention of the great men upon

tape and formality which should charac-
terize the action of so high dignitary, he
has taken measures to have his acknowl-
edgment communicated to all to whom
it was due.
The gratitude of the English Govern
ment in this particular Instance was mer-
tied by the relief which was sent to fam
ished India, and Rev. r. G. Hobbs, DID,

lowing is the text:

PLUCKY WOMAN
STOPS A BURGLAR
Mrs. O'Brien Of Twenty
Sixth Street Shows
Great Nerve.
Confronts the Fellow at the
Door and Arouses Her
Husband.
The Burglar Jumps Barefooted From
second-Story Window-Steps
in the Dough.

1t is an open question whether the bur-
glar who entered the home OF Butcher j..
O'Brien OF 1920 Twenty-sixth street on
Friday evening week ago or the resi-
dents of the O'Brien household were the
most badly scared. The burglar is still at
large, with the police on his trail with a
hat lett behind for Identification, and the
residents of the household are vainly try
ing to recover their composure.
About midnight on Friday week ago
Mrs. o. Brien, who happens to be a light
sleeper was awakened by the sound OF
doors creaking i'll the hall from which her
bedroom opens. With splendid presence
of mind and unusual courage, she arose
from bed stepped behind the door and
opened il. the reflection of the electric
Ii ght shining through the window of the
bedroom disclosed the pres nee of man
standing motionless in the corner Of the
hall
Mrs. O. Brien at once closed the door
and commenced calling to her husband.
who was sull asleep in the room: ION,
Jonn, wake up quick and get your pistol
There's robber in the house!'
Mr.. OBrien responded as quickly as q
plucky man could. and as his brave wife
opened the door for him he plunked the
revolver III front OF MIN, ready 10 nre.
But the burglar himself had got scared by
this time and Mr.. o. Brien had the salts
faction only of seeing the fellows coat
tails disappear into the dining-room.
There was some lively chasing Tor the
next second or so. participated in by the
whole family. The burglar made straight
for the kitchen window, which he had
evidently left open on entering, and van
ished before Mr.. OBrIen's revolver could
get within dropping distance.
Officer Duffy wes Immediately called to
search for the fleeing criminal but the
best he could co was to find traces of him.
The traces consisted OF an overturned
flower pot just outside the window, some
bare footprints on the dusty porch under
the window, and the i'm print OF foot In
a pan OF bread dough which stood in the
path of fight through the Kitchen. Lying
upon the table was a black sloucn hat.
The burglar had entered b.refooted and
had departed bareheaded as well.
Mrs O'Brien recovered we'll from the
shock OF the incident but was unable 10
give The officers any satisfactory descrip-
ton of the burglar. She could say only
that he was tall and appeared to be dressed
entirely in black.
In leaving the window the burglar had
made a sheer Jump OF fifteen feet to the
ground below, and had done that In a pas
sage not more than two feet wide between
O. Brien's house and that OF his neighbor.
