PROSECUTION IS OFF
 ON ANOTHER TACK
DEFECTIVE McVEY SEEKS FED
 ERAL AID.
Tried to Secure Custody of Mrs. Bot kin Through an Infringement
 of the Postal Laws.

Chief of Police Lees and Detective Mc- Vey do not propose to have Mrs. Cor della Botkin tried In this State if there is a possible loophole through which they can escape the recent decision of Judge Carroll Cook and his confreres of the judiciary.
 Yesterday they were closeted for over an hour with Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney Bert Schlesinger and h. spector Munroe of the Postal Department in discussion of sections 330 and 331 of the postal laws. Section 33O provides that if a Postmaster find a package in the mails containing destructives or poisons he shall take it out and destroy 1t, but 1t does not make the depositing of such packages a crime, and provides no pen alty. Chief Lees was of the opinion. until he had talked with MT. Schlesinger, that the section could be so construed that Mrs Botkin could be rearrested upon an infringement of the postal laws, and un- confines of Delaware, where the minor charge could be dismissed and the origi- nal charge of murder placed against her. There would be no questions of jurisdic- tion to bother under such circumstances and she could be legally tried in the for eign State.
 whatever. It relates solely to the trans mission through the mails of lottery tick cts and advertising matter. and provides that offenders of this class are triable at either the point from which the mat ter Is sent or the point at which it Is received. The chief and McVey argued that the same law applied to other of lenses, and desired to bring the matter before the Federal court upon their show ing, but as it was pointed out to them that the clause provided only for lottery offenders the matter was allowed to drop.
 The defense will not argue the triabil- ity of Mrs. Botkin in this State when that question comes. up before Judge Carroll Cook on Saturday. They will submit to the court that as their petition is for writ of habeas corpus the matter of this States jurisdiction is not relevant. At torney McGowan said yesterday that the habeas corpus proceedings was the ques- tion of Mrs. -Botkin's extraditlon into Delaware, and as that question has been already settled there is no reason for fur ther argument, so far as the defense is concerned

FLYPAPER WINDOW
 CRACKERS AT WORK
FOUR STORES SOUTH OF MAR
 KET STREET VISITED.
A Grocery Clerk Took Shot at Them but His Aim Was Not Steady
 and He Missed.

The fly paper window crackers are at work again, but this time they are talk ing in the district south of Market street. Four grocery stores were visited during the early hours of yesterday morning and from the windows of three of them bottles of Houor and other articles were stolen.
 At the fourth place visited, the store cf H. Hilberg, corner of Ninth and Grammar streets, they met with reception that they did not anticipate. Huberg's clerk sleeps in the rear of the store and he was awakened by the noise of the breaking glass He jumped out of bed and seeing two men at the window, he grabbed his revolver and fired at the men. who fled, leaving the fly paper behind. The clerk aim was unsteady and he does not think he hit one of the thieves, but he scared them.
 Last winter a number of groceries and cigar stores in the "tenderlein district were visited by these window crackers. Two or three of the gang were arrested and were sent to the House of Correction, but there are others. They paste the fly paper on the window so as to deaden the sound of the breaking glass, but it was loud enough to waken Hilberg's clerk.
 Special instructions have been issued to all the policemen to keep a sharp look out for these thieves, as they not only steal what they can get but destroy wan tonly valuable plate glass windows.

 As it is matters are bad enough. My vessel Is almost a wreck, and nothing but her collision bulkheads saved her. According to what the pilot tells me the GIenericht Is almost a wreck at Monte video, and Captain Davies wife is drowned. I was knocked insensible by the fall of the Glenerichts mizzenmast, and by the time I regained consciousness the two vessels were clear of each other.

 They got aboard aft and tell me that Mrs. Davies was with them. They were not sure but thought she fell between the two vessels or else got back on the Glen ericht. I hoped that the latter was the case, and now you tell me that Captain Davies is satisfied that she is aboard my vessel. It will be an awful blow for him, poor fellow. One of our sailors, a man named Clark, got aboard the Glenericht, and I suppose he made MOntevideo on her

Editor of The Call-Dear Sir: In my card to the press of the 23d inst. I called the atten- ton of the public in general and of the resi- dents of North Beach and the Board of Super visors in particular to the shameful and shock ing state of immortality that prevails in this section of the city. I also showed that the evil was increasing and I traced the source of the supply to the area bounded by California, Pine, Kearny and Dupont streets. Moreover. l had in my possession a number of incontro- vertible proofs showing that movement was on foot to remove many of the fallen women from that area and dump them at our doors. 1 laid the case in a letter before the Chief of Police. and while he did not acknowledge its receipt, yet l now find that he has been act ing on it's suggestions and consequently l have not been ignored by MT.

 Mir. Editor, in taking the step have taken, I chiefly moved by a desire to save the hundreds of children of this district from being morally slaughtered and to prevent shocking sights from falling upon the eyes of our vlr- tuous mothers and maidens. In my letter l

clear of the Glenericht we repaired dam ages as we'll as possible and came on to San Francisco, making as good time as the ship Madagascar, which left Swan sea the same day as we did and reached port a few hours ago"
 The Balmoral struck the Glenericht 6 glancing blow amidship almost cutting her to the waters edge. The Balmoral Is badly stove on the starboard bow, and on her starboard quarter. The cabin is a complete wreck and the forward com partment is full of water. The Glen erichts mizzen mast fell between the Bal morals mizzen and digger masts and wrecked the running gear and standing rigging. Topgallant masts and yards Were carried away, stanchions were broken, bulwarks bent, bridges carried away, her compass was broken and other damage was done.
 Captain Davies cabled report of the dis aster is as follows: Was in collision with the British ship Balmoral off Cape Horn August 20 Balmoral struck us amidship, but Glenericht not damaged below the water line. One of BalmOral's S crew brought to Montevideo on Glenericht and four of the Glenericht's sailors and Captain Davies wife are on the Balmoral, which is only slightly damaged"
 The Balmoral will be discharged and will have to go on the drydock for a general oVerhauling.

AN OUTRAGE BY. DOG-CATCHERS. .ON
 A BUSINESS MAN Charles Mitchell Is Clubbed. HIS TERRIER WAS TAGGED CoWARDLY DEPUTIES PURSUED BY AN INDIGNANT CROWD. Two of the Ruffians Have Been Ar rested on Charge of As
 sault With a Deadly
 Weapon.
HIS TERRIER WAS TAGGED
CowARDLY DEPUTIES PURSUED
 BY AN INDIGNANT CROWD.

Another high-handed outrage under color of official authority was perpetrated yesterday upon a respectable and inof- fensive citizen by ruffianly deputies of the Poundmaster. Charles Mitchell proprie- tor of the M & M saloon at 231 Kearny street, was walking along Bush street, near the corner of Kearny, with his fox terrier Spider trotting along by his side, when the Pound wagon drove up. MT. MitchelIs attention was called to thelr presence by the yelping of his dog, which had been struck on the head by the hoop of the dog net thrown by the Pound men. He at once seized the net and threw 1t into the street, for his dog had H. cense tag on his collar in plain view and was not subject to seizure. The three men at once jumped upon him and one or them struck him on the back Of the head with a club and broke blood vessel, which caused the wound to bleed profuse- ly MT. Mitchell, although dazed, did not fall but defended himself as well as he could. while a big crowd gathered around and watched the men beat him. The ex- ecrations of the bystanderS alarmed the Pound bullies and they broke for the wagon, but Mitchell seized the horses by the bridle and hung on in order that ne might detain his assailants and procure their arrest. At this juncture the driver of a dray came to the citizens rescue with a dray stake and pursued the now trembling deputies down Bush street fol- lowed by an indignant crowd shouting Lynch them! Lynch them!
 Patrolman Haskell of the California; street station came along and placed Nicholas Rolling, the driver of the Pound wagon, and Deputy Poundkeeper Henry Dan under arrest on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The third deputy was allowed to take. the wagon to the Pound, and he will be arrested on the same charge as soon as MT. Mitchell is able to appear in court.
 Mr Mitchelrs injuries were so serious that his friends placed him in hack and took him to the Receiving Hospital where his scalp was sewed up by the physicians: They advised him to go ,,h home there were symptoms of a fractured skull. MT. Mitchell was seen at his sd,sss resi- to be resting easily, although in great pain In order to prove the genuinenesS of the tag on his dogs collar he produced a receipt dated August 20, 1898, a, and certi- fying that Charles Mitchell of 23l kearny street had that day paid to the License Collector the annual tax on the fox ter rier Spider and had procured tag for the same, the tag to be good until June 50, 1899.

 l Captain Campbell of the British ship Ralmoral began a tale of disaster yes +erdav. His vessel was entering port af- fer a passage of 136 days from Hull, and her battered appearance showed she had been in trouble. In the gray of the morn ing of August 20 when off Cape Horn, the Balmoral and British ship Glenericht were in cC ision The captain of the latter vessel thought his ship was sinking and told his crew to save themselves. Four of the men clambered aboard the Bal moral, and Captain Davies is still of the opinion that his wife got on the Balmoral with them. The rescued seamen how ever. said yesterday that Mrs. Davies fell between the two ships when they were locked yardarm to yardarm and was drowned. The Glenericht put back to Montevideo in distress, and the Balmoral came on to San Francisco.
