THEY WERE EAGER
TO Be ACTORS
Arthur Sears and His Sis
ter Paid to Be Made
Stars.
They Sue Belasco and Say He
Failed to Make Them His
trionic Artists.
Say They Were Led to Believe They
Would Become Great Artists
in Six Months.

One of the most in Dteresting claims fled
for many a day in the Justices Court of
San Francisco is that of Arthur Sears and
his sister, Mrs. Nellie E. Covington,
against Frederick Belasco, manager of the
AlcaZar Theater and of a school of prac-
tical acting conducted by him at the Odd
Fellows building.
The complaint shows that the plaintiffs
have met with sore disappointments in
life within the past six months, and they
attribute their reverses of fortune very
largely to Instructor Belasco. They have
employed G. w. Howe, local attorney,
to set forth their claims in legal form.
'These people give fair idea of what
we have 10 encounter every day." said
Manager Belasco; 'people.who expect TO
become histrionic marvels in about six
weeks and positive world beaters in
year."
The complaints set forth that Belasco
adyertises in the daily papers and else
where-and they show these ads-"his
ability to make proficient actors of pupils
who attend the said school; that he will
rehearse said pupils on the stage, and put
them through q course of practical and
efficient exercises and enable them to ef-
feet natural expressions, and to arrive, as
nearly as possible, at complete por-
trayal.'
These claims raised great expectations
in the minds of plaintiffs, Sears longing to
abandon the business of painting houses
and yearning for the wide field where he
might portray human emotions. His
sister, too, wearying of the Berkeley hills
and monotony OF the workaday world,
says she was induced TO believe that she
would soon arrive at a degree of culture as
an actress that would keep the world busy
guessing how long she had been on the
stage.
The complaints set forth the aspirants'
grievances in detail They say the plain
tiffs "were promised that in six months
they would be fully qualified and compe-
tent actors, so much so that he (Belasco)
would defy any old time actor or theatri-
cal professional discovering or detecting
that they had not been full-hedged actors
for number of years"
The complainants ask for joint sum
exceeding $500, each allegation of DAM
ages being within the statutory limit for
Justices courts. They allege that the
plaintiffs have been put to great incon-
venience and trouble in travelling to and
from Berkeley during the period of the
tuition, and that they have awakened TO
a painful realization of the fact that they
are not perfect actors, so drilled in decla-
nation, gesture, feeling and expression as
to defy dramatic critics to distinguish
them from the heroes of the stage.
Mr.. Sears thinks it would require about
$299 SO 10 repair the injury done to him
by forcing him to continue the vocation of
painting houses, while his sister thinks
she could stop the heartaches and disap-
pointments inflicted upon her for about
$246 Both have concluded that acting Is
an uncertain profession.

FAVORABLE To THE RAILROAD,
The Supreme Courts Action in a Suit
for Damaged Trees.

The Supreme Courts Action in a Suit
for Damaged Trees.
The State Supreme Court has ordered
new trial in the case of r. w. Pierce
against the Southern Pacific Company.
In February, 1891, Pierce shipped from
Florida to Gulick Bros. at Riverside, CAL,
two carloads of orange trees. When the
trees reached New Orleans it was found
that the route through Arizona was broken
by washouts caused by severe storms and
the trees were sent by the northern route
through Texas and Colorado to Utah and
tnence over the Central Pacific Railroad.
While in transportation over the northern
route the trees were destroyed by freezing.
Pierce brought suit against the Southern
Pacific Company, claiming that by send
Ing these perishable trees by the cold
northern route 1t had violated its contract
and he obtained judgment for $8965 dam
ages. The railroad people asked for new
trial OF the cause. which was denied, and
IL was from this that the appeal was taken.
The Supreme Court declared that the
lower court erred as 10 the extent of the
damages and in not permitting the rail-
road company to show the market value
OF orange trees at the point of shipping
and at Riverside.

ATTEMP TING To
CLOG THE COURTS
Hundreds of Chinese Sports
Crowd in on Judge
JoaChimsen.
Defendants Refuse Arrangement
and Are Given Jury
Trials.
The Gamblers From the Chinese
Quarters Are Taught Lsgal
Trick by Their Attorneys

Poi Loi is the star performer in the
theatrical circles of China. He is Henry
Irving or Patti in his particular sphere,
and when Little Pete was alive Loi had
a standing engagement of $1,000 month
to come here and delight the patrons of
his Jackson-street theater.
Well, if Poi Loi had condescended to do
Spartacus, Chimney Fadden, or any other
play here, he could not have gathered q
greater crowd of ill-smelling heathens
than the police crowded yesterday morn
ing in Judge Joachimsen's court.
There were 236 Cinnamon in every stage
of cleanliness and dirt, but principally the
latter.
Per force the court had to order the
white people out OF the room, so as to
make place for the Cinnamon, and they
sat and stood up to get view of the bench,
just as they do at the Chinese theater.
Make them stop iabbering!" exclaimed
Judge Joachlmsen. "Stop them from
smoking in courtP
The heathens were so numerous that
they regarded the courtroom as one OF
their own haunts and did pretty nearly
as they saw tit until Bailff Duncan and
his corps of assistants taught them other
wise.
These Chinese were arrested in the high
binder clubs last Saturday night by Chief
Crowley's men, and they were all on deck
20 stand trial.
Major Smith and Joseph Coffey. their
attorneys, had all their clients on hand,
and they declared they would fight the
cases to the bitter end.
Ex-Judge Louderback employed as spe-
ciaI counsel by Chief Crowley, was ready
! to meet them on their own grounds, and
in the conflict Judge Joachimsen doffed
| his skull bonnet and retired, saying:
! You gentlemen can settle this thing
! among yourselves. l do not propose to
sit here and listen to your wrangiing."
The court ordered a recess, but when he
returned at its conclusion The attorneys
| were no nearer a conclusion than they
| were before.
AS Attorney Louderback explained it
the law required each defendant to be ar
raigned separately, or else the conviction
would be overruled upon appeal in the
Superior Court.
Major Smith took advantage of this and
demanded that the entire 238 defendants
| be heard as one.
AS result only four prisoners were ar
| raigned.
They followed the instructions of their
representatives and absolutely refused to
plead either guilty or not gnilty. The
| court was then compelled to order the
| plea OF not guilty to be entered and
venire of jurors to be called He in

When the Finance Committee of the Board

The santa fe Wreck.

The wreck on the Santa .Fe road near Emporia, on Wednesday night is said to have been caused by Q miscarriage of orders. .= . =-
 The conductor Of the east bound train was ordered al Emporia to meet and pass the California flyer at Lang, seven miles east, The order sent there to the conductor of the west bound was Hot delivered and he supposvd they were to meet at Emporia. Consequently, each train was kurrying on the main line and met at full speed. There was no warning signal and the shock was as if the trains had struck a stone wall, followed by q terrible ex- plosion, a crashing sound and total darkness.
 The west bound train had two engines, and when they struck, all three exploded. The smoking car was piled up on top of the wrecked engines, and soon caught fire, but the Iasengers escaped from the windows. The cars of the mail train did not leave the track.
 Five postal clerks were injured and the mail car attached to the west bound train was burned The list of killed and injured is given us follows:
 Killed-Jas. Branham, engineerj Nate Hollister, engineer; Benjamin Walters, fireman; Joseph Hurley, fireman; Edward Yonseivi. fireman; {; Daniel McKennon, aged F. Topeka; an unknown, burned and pnrecOg- nizable.
