DOORS WILL
NOT HIDE THEM
Frequenters Of Saloon Side
Entrances Are in a
Quandary.
Police Determined to Enforce
the Ordinance Prohibiting
Closed Rooms.
Liquor-Dealers, However, Say That
Portieres Can Be Used to
Advantage,

The crusade of the police against the
SIDE entrances and private boxes in sa-
looms which was started in 1893 had its
effect for a time, but the moment the po-
lice ceased their vigilance the evil seemed
to increase rather than to abate.
In consequence a new fight against the
supposed evil has been started. 4 copy
of the ordinance prohibiting the sale of
liquor in side rooms where doors shut Oft
the view from the general public has been
distributed throughout the saloons in this
City. The general opinion of the saloon
keepers in regard 10 the ordinance is that
the Christian Endeavorers started the
new fight against them. The ordinance
reads as follows:
Order No. 1896. Regulating the sale of liquors
in barrooms or saioons.-The people oil the
City and County of San Francisco do or
dain as follows:
Section l. No person engaged in selling
spirituous, malt or fermen liquors or wines
in quantities esS than one quart in any bar
room or saloon shall sell any liquor to be de-
livered or used or that shall be delivered or
used in any side room, back room, upper
room or other apartment i'll the same
or any adjoining building connected by
use with such barroom or saloon, excepting
only open alcoyes or booths open at the top
and without doors and not over six feet in
loon; or shall have or maintain any private of
separate entrance for any particular class or
uStomers; or any words or signs upon anv
entrance slgnifying that snch entrance is for
ladies, or families, or for any particular Class
OF persons; or is q private entrance to such
barroom or saloon, or to any other apartment I
used in connection herewith provided that
nothing herein conta1Ded shall prohibit the
serving OF such liquors to guests in a hotel or
restaurant having valid license to sell the
same.
Sec. 2, Any person convicted of violating any
OF the provisions OF this order shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding 800 or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding thirty days, and
for every second violation of this order the
penalties shall be d. ubled
Sec. 3. All orders and parts of orders in con-
htct herewith are hereby repealed.
The police have been ordered to strictly
resting all parties who refuse or do not re-
within the next few days. The ordinance
is supposed to have again been enforced
on account of the many saloon robberies
committed within the last few weeks.
In many places i'll .own the doors have
already been removed, but the proprietors
Of the places dodge under the order by
having portiere5 hung in the doorways.
The curtains will answer their purpose
as we'll or even better than the doors, as
they seem to please the frequenters of
public places better, as the surroundings
are more comfortable with curtains than
they formerly were.
The saIoon-keepers are anXiously await
ing TO see whether or not the orteres
will come undr the general head of doors.

LITTLE MARY BROWN.
Mrs. KuhPs Application for Guardian
ship in the Probate Court.

Mrs. KuhPs Application for Guardian
ship ia the Probate Court.
Mrs. Helen XuhPs application to b, ap.
pointed guardian of Mary Brown, the IA.
year old half Indian daughter OF the late
Captain William Brown, was called for
hearing in Judge Coffey's court yesterday.
Mrs. Kuhl testified that she would give
the girl good home, and said she had
never been cruel 10 her, and insisted that
she was the proper person for the place.
She dio not wish 10 have anything TO do
with the girls estate. which is by some
estimated to be worth $40, 900, while others
estimate it at $40, 900.
This case has attracted considerable at
tention from the fact that accusations have
been made against Mrs. Kuhl and also
against Donald Ross, who has charge OF
the girls property. Much of the same
ground was gone over, but nothing new
was developed.
Several witnesses testified that they con-
sdered Mrs. Kuhl an excellent woman
and q proper person to nct as guardian.
Judge Coffey continued the further hear
ing OF the matter until Tuesday at 10
O'clock

SUPPORTED HER FATHER
a Peculiar Case of Child Slavery
Unearthed by F. A.
Holbrook.
Little Bertha Sauermann Sold Flowers
Through Oregon and Wash
ington.

A peculiar case of child slavery was
called to the attention of f. A. Holorook
OF the Eureka Society for the Protection
of Children Thursday. He had noticed
a little girl not over 10 years OF age
peddling flowers on the streets and she
seemed 10 be a stranger in this City. He
to ok the child to the office and questioned
her and from her answers he found that
she was the sole support OF family OF
four-a father and three children.
The little ones name is Bertha Sauer-
mann and her father is now living at 735
Harrison street. Further investigation
developed the fact that the father has
com peled the child to peddle flowers for
several years, while he and the other chill
dren have lived in idleness off her earn
ings. The child has earned enough to
take the entire family through Oregon
and Washington, she selling bouquets for
a living in all of the principal cities and
towns in both States.
Holb-ook thought that, from appear
ances, the father was able to earn good
living for the family, and be asked him
why he made the child follow such a life.
Sauermann replied that it was because he
was poor and could not find work Ac-
cordlng to Holbrook's opinion, the excuse
was very lame, indeed. He is OF the idea
that lazlness has more to do with this
state of affairs than inability TO secure
work.
Little Bertha is bright child and has
fairly pretty face and winning ways.
This is probably the secret of her success
as a flower peddler. and the old man was
not slow to take advantage thereof. Hol-
brook took the girl with him and placed
her in an institution, where she will be
cared for until soUething can he done to
make the father attend to her support, as
well as take care OF the other children.

Jurors. Fees in Civil Cases.

City Attorney Creswell has given notice of
appeal in the case OF Hilton VS.. Curry, which
was recently decided by Judge Hebbard In
that matter the plaintiff sought to compel the
County Clerk to issue his certificate of services
as Juror in civil proceedings in order that
the fees might be collected from the County
treasury. Mr.. Curry refused on the ground
that the litigants were the only ones to pay
fees In civil cases. The court held that the
law of 1895 modified former statutes to such
an extent that Jurors who answer for service
are entitled to their fees for the day. whether
they are accepted as jurors or not 1t is to ties t
this question that an appeal will be taken.

The AdministratOr VIII Be Asked to
Pay Interest on Balan ces.
John J. Crooks, administrator of the
estate of Susan Crooks, deceased, testified
in Judge Coffeys court yesterday that the
income of the estate is from $1,000 to $500
a month. He reported to the court that
he had made separate deposit of the
funds of the estate. Hitherto he had not
thought it necessary to keep those funds
distinct from his private deposit. He had
been the manager of his mothers business
affairs before her death, and after her
death made no change in the keeping OF
the accounts. When he heard that obiec-
ticns were made he complied with the
wishes of other heirs at once.

Season Nearly Over.

To- o-morrow, as usual, the commodious
ferry steamer Ukiah will make four round
trips between San Francisco and Ell
Campo. This is one of the few resorts
which retains its popularity throughout
the entire season. There seems to be only
a slight diminution in the volume of
bu sinass since the height of the midsum-
mer picnic season. Delightful walks and
shady hooks, with many artificial attrac-
tions, make El Campo a resort worthy of
oft-repeated visits.

AT 4 o'clock in the morning a terrific
explosion in the fOrehOld blew the
hatch covers into the air, killing one
seaman and injuring the chief mate.
Dense columns of thick yellow smoke
poured out and a choking, penetrating
OdOr ~pervaded the ship and the crew
were at once called to fire quarters,
1t was necessary to batten down the
hatch to prevent the fire having full
vent. Meanwhile the ship was wallow-
ing in the high sea and occasionally
burying itself under a giant cOmber.
The life boats were smashed by the

them in the face. All hands worked

She il loaded with oil shipped by the
Standard Oil Company and was bound
from New York to Hong Kong, China,
She had a severe experience and the
crew We're about to cut away her spars
when the wind shifted and the storm
abated. AS it was. besides the loss of
her sails, they had to throw overheard
2,450 cases of oil and the rest of the

a narrow escap from drowning. the
cabin nearly filling with water before
they could be gotten out. They were
