Attorney James H. Long in an Awkward
 Position.
He Is Accused of Making False Statements to Judge
 Low.
Another Acute Stage of the Trouble Between Him and Prosecuting
 Attorney Reynolds.

The misunderstanding between Attorney James H. Long and Prosecuting Attorney Reynolds of Judge Lows court over pool room cases has reached another acute stage.
 Several days ago Long took occasion, while speaking to a question of privilege before Judge Low, to call Reynolds a con- temptibIe cur, and Reynolds retaliated by characterizing Long as a low, dirty liar.
 The new cause of the trouble is the case of Richard Creighton charged with violat- ing the poolroom ordinance. The case was assigned to Judge Lows court and it was set for trial by jury yesterday after noon. Reynolds had, in view of the diff culty in getting conviction, secured the services of ex-Judge Murphy as special prosecutor. of which fact Long was ad- yised.
 During Reynolds temporary absence from the courtroom Monday Long ap- peared and addressing the Judge said: ''In the case of Richard Creighton, charg- ed with violating the pool ordinance, 1t has been arranged between the parties that continuance should be granted for a week and l would therefore ask your honor to fix the trial for March P and then we will all be ready to proceed"
 The venire had been sent out, but in the circumstances the Judge continued the case as requested and withdrew the Ve- hire.
 All this was done without the knowledge or consent of Reynolds, and when he heard yesterday morning that the case had been postponed he asked the Judge for an explanation. After hearing 1t he denied having been approached by Long in regard to a continuance and said that Long had been guilty of making state ment that was utterly false. The wit nesses had been subpenaed and would be in court at o'clock. Thinking that possi- bly, Long had made an arrangement with ex-Judge Murphy, Reynolds called upon him and was assured that he had not spoken to Long for months. Ex-Judge Murphy decided to have Long brought up for contempt of court and Judge Low agreed to be in court at 2 o'clock to con- slider any proposition that might be laid before him.
 Secretary Green of the racetrack and other witnesses were in court at o'clock and were much chagrined when they learned that the case had been postponed without being notified of the fact. After the matter was talked over it was de- cided to try the case tomorrow after for contempt of court will be determined.

Lieutenant BirdSall Did Not Like Him and He
 Was Removed.
Peculiar Action of Whitman. the Captain of the Central
 Police Station.
HARPER GETS HIS PLACE,
Determined Attempt to Disgrace an Officer Who Did His
 Duty.

Captain Whitman announced yester- day that he had decided to transfer Sergeant Clarence Coogan, who for some months past has had charge of the tenderloin district, to the North End Station. His successor is Sergeant Harper, who seems to be pet of the Captain of the Central Station
 Coogan was appointed sergeant sev- eral months ago, and during his brief career in the tenderloin district he made a brilliant record. Before being appointed to the position which he now occupies he was a patrolman on Larkin street.
 About a week ago Lieutenant Bird sail, who for some reason seems deter mined to degrade Coogan in the eyes of his fellow officers, appealed to Whitman to transfer the new sergeant. He rep resented that Coogan and Blank, also a sergeant, were not on speaking terms, which considerably annoyed him. Af- ter listening to his story, Whitman, without consulting the Chief of Police or the Police Commissioners, decided to assign Coogan to another district.
 To a reporter last Monday night Whitman, who seems determined to rid the department of new sergeants in
  mitted that Birdsall had complained against Coogan.
 After I was told that Coogan and Blank were not on friendly terms" he remarked, 'I sent for the former and read the riot act to him. I told him that if he wanted to stay in the depart ment it would be necessary for him to make up with Blank He refused to do it, claiming that Blank had no desire to speak to him, as they could never agree. I told him I thought he was getting sWell-headed, and threatened to transfer him. I subsequently, spoke to Blank about the in-feeling between him and Coogan, and he offered to shake hands with him and call it square. I am running this department, and intend that the sergeants shall be on speaking terms, or I will see that they are relieved of the stars"
 Whitman has also announced that he intends to transfer Blank to the Mis- sion district just as soon as the Com missioners appoint a successor to the graced sergeant, Davis.

< MRS. BELLS ALLOWANCE. Ordered Reduced From $500 to S100
 8 Month by Superior Judge

The "House of Mystery" the home of the Bells, must in future be run on the modest sum of $10o a month. For many years Mrs. Theresa Bell, guardian of the household, has enjoyed the yearly allow ance of SIS 900, but Judge Coffey yester~ day reached the conclusion that the sum was far beyond that required by the fam fly, and he cut it down to $120O.
 The action of Judge Coffey was precipi- tated by statement filed by the Caliror- mia and D. O. Mills banks, principal cred itors of the Bell estate. The statements show that the estate is now incumbered in the sum of over $500 900, and that the interest on this amount and the expenses of administration on the estate amount to about s25 O00 a year. The income of the estate is not great enough to a,pa1 pay this in mained as ordered by the court in 1895, and yesterday the s order tbo was astota vacated been ordered to show cause why the or der of the court made :. yesterday @ should that the amount is large enough it will be allowed to stand

which was carelessly overlooked by the reckless robbers. Leaving the lower part of the house they entered an unoccupied bedroom on the second floor, emptying the drawers of a bureau and throwing the mattress of bed into the center of the floor. Leaving this room they en- tered a storeroom containing trunks filled with linen and wearing apparel While ransacking this room they were heard by Mrs. Mary E. Warren, an elderly lady, the mother of Mrs. Peters. Noticing a light in the room she at once suspected something wrong and called her daugh- ter, who alarmed the burglars by loudly knocking upon her door. Upon this they ran downstairs and out of the house; Mrs. Peters then opened window and blew a police whistle, which brought the officers to the place. A thorough search of the premises and neighborhood was made by the officers, but no clew was found.
 The early hour at which the burglars entered the house would indicate that they believed the occupants to be absent from home, as the house was in. total darkness, both Mrs. Peters and her mother, the only occupants of the house, having retired before g o'clock, After a thorough investigation it is believed that nothing of value was taken, the only thing missing being part of a bottle of whisky with which the burglars had re- galed themselves during their presence in the dining-room.

selected a more competent guardian among the men of the country who pro- fess to be famous as trainers and hand lers of fighters. Jeffries is now in tip-top condition, and is ready at moments mo- tice to face the music of Jackson's pom derous dukes"
 He remarked yesterday that he expect ed a hard battle, but with youth and strength on his side he is of the opinion that the once famous colored heavy weight cannot hold out very long against the attacks that will be made on him next Tuesday evening.
 Jeffries is very confident of whipping the champion of the old countries. He does not underrate Jacksons great clev erness, but he contends that every fight CT has his day, and that Jackson has long passed the zenith of his prime; still he ex- poets to see Peter give great account of himself for ten or twelve pounds.

 MATCHED

'I like this place very much to train said Jeffries. ''The Reliance Club boys are all f1rst-class fellows, and I am greatly indebted to them for the privileges they have extended to me. But somehow this is a great place for catching black eyes. Ryan when he trained here caught a beautiful smash in the eye and so did his trainer. Yesterday while boxing with my brother his head came in contact with my left eye, and you can see for yourself the result"
 Quite a gash was made over the optic, which has placed it in temporary mourn ing. But it will be itself again in a few days.
 As may be seen by a glance at the pie ture represented the big heavy weight is in splendid condition, and if he fails to lower the colors of his opponent his de- feat cannot certainly be attributed to a lack of training and grand physical con- dition.

T HE next great fstic contest will be
 held under the auspices of the
 Olympic Club on Tuesday evening
 at Woodward's Pavilion.
 The principal feature of the en- tertainment will be meeting of the white and colored giants of the ring, namely, Peter Jackson, champion heavy weight of England and the Australias, weight 200 pounds, and James J. Jeffries, champion heavy weight of the Pacific Coast, weight 210 pounds.
 The articles of agreement state that the contest is to be twenty rounds, and that a referee, if not selected by the prin- cipals by o'clock of the day of the fight, will be appointed by the directors of the club, and his decision shall be final.
 Jeffries has been training in Oakland for several weeks under the eye of Pro- lessor Billy Delaney, and it goes without saying that the big fighter could not have

 traZ Island

Theodore c. Krohucke of 922 Battery street, while boating near Alcatraz Island yesterday, found the body of an unknown man floating in the bay. The body was lowed to the wharf and delivered to the Coroner.
 The man had been in the water a long while and the features were unrecogniz- able. He was of large size and wore a blue flannel shirt, heavy boots and striped trousers. There was considerable coal dust in his clothes, and this has given rise to the belief that the deceased may have been a stoker a worker on the coal bunkers. In the pockets were found 9 cents in small change, a pocket-knife, white metal watch, with leather chain. a silver-plated Catholic medal and a small crucifiX
