sCHLITZ'S METHODS
More of the Manner of Operating of
the Lodging House Beat

| After toying with the Carl Schlitz case
| for an hour in the forenoon yesterday in
| the police court, the attorneys engaged
in it took continuance till O'clock but
the trial had to be postponed until today
at that hour. in consequence of an exami-
nation for burglary which took up all of
Justice Morrison's time until adjourn
ment.
Detective Goodman resumed the stand
at II o'clock for cross-examination, but
it brought forth nothing but wranglins
and personalities.
Mrs. E. Hudson, proprietress of an
East Second street lodging house, was
called by the prosecution and produced
the ring which Miss Everett claimed to
have lost as a result of Schlitz's last
visit to her establishment. 1t had, she
said, been given to her by Schlitz when
he applied for a suite of rooms at her
house under the name of Mulhausen.
The fair and fat lodging house beat had
likewise presented to one of her lady
dodgers, since departed for Arizona, a
pair of green silk stockings, the descrip-
ton of which tailed with that of one of
the pairs of hose which had undergone
the process of now you see 'em and now
you don't" at the Everett mansion. 1t
was from Mrs. Hudson that Schlitz Sc
cured the wedding ring, which he carried
off while she was temporarily out Of the
parlor and which was recovered only
afterward when Mr. Hudson had
thrashed the German to his hearts con-
tent.

FIGURING ON A SHORTAGE
City Auditors Next Report Will Be
Interesting

The next weekly report of the city aud
itor to the council will be one of the most
important that that officer has made for
some time. From time to time during
the past two weeks the several depart
ments of the city government have been
filing with the auditor their quarterly
reports of the expenditures made by
them during the first two quarters of the
fiscal year and the amounts which re-
main uneXpended from the appropria-
tions allowed them. These reports have
been carefully examined and Auditor
Nichols is now engaged in comparing
them with his own records and those of
the several departments. He will re-
port the result of these examinations
and comparisons to the council next
Monday. From that report 1T can be de-
termined just what the amount of the
financial shortage will probably be at
the end of the fiscal year. That there
will be deficiency is known and some
of the members of the council have esti-
mated it as high as $50, 900.

USED HIS WHIP
DR.. Harmon Objected to Being Crowd
ed in Buggy Race

Dr. John Harmon of Estrella avenue
was tried yesterday in the police court
on charge of battery committed upon
x. r. Bradley, contractor, of 125 West
Second street, on December 18th, near
College and Buenavista streets. DR.. Har-
mon is a man who is so deaf that no
sound reaches him, but he speaks
clearly.
Bradley and Christian Berg were driv-
ing in a buggy along Buenavista street
on the day in question and DR.. and Mrs
Harmon were ahead of them in light
vehicle drawn by two spirited horses.
Berg and Bradley overlook Harmon for
the purpose of looking at the doctors
horses, so they said, and this led him to
believe, according to his testimony. that
they were trying to crowd him on the
electric car track. This maneuver hav5
ing been repeated several times, the doc
tor pulled his whip for the purpose of
touching up his animals and it struck
the plaintiff and Mr. Berg squarely
across the face, inflictng long welts and
drawing the blood.
None of the parties would acknowledge
that they had been racing. but still it
looked very much that way. This was
seemingly the cause of the battery. The
doctor denied that the blow had been
intentionally struck, and he said that
he rendered his apology to Mr.. Berg but
not to Mr.. Bradley. These people were
utter strangers to the Harmons. Mrs.
Harmon, who was quite voluble in ex-
planning away her husbands action. also
denied that the blows received by the
two gentlemen had been Intentionally
inflicted by the doctor. Mr.. Berg was re-
called and testified that DR.. Harmon,
when he called upon him to apologize,
said that he was sorry for the cut he
gave him across the face as he was an
innocent party, but that he had meant
to strike the blow which the contractor
received. The court took the case under
advisement and will deliver judgment
next Monday.
