RICHMOND WANTS SCHOOLS.
Several Children Compelled to Roam About the Streets Because There
 Is No Accommodation

Richmond district would be a bad place | for man to go to advocate the zoo prop osition. inasmuch as the people in that section of the city are sorely Tn neeo or better school facilities for their children. As 1t is now. there are over 300 children of school age who are deprived Of the ad- vantage of obtaining an education Tn the public schools of the city. The injustice of this mana gement-or, rather, mlsmah- agement-is chargeable to both the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Educa- tion at least the residents of Richmond
 so hold. They claim that the wants of the district were fully and fairly repre- sented to both boards before the annual appropria lions were made last year. The increase in the population or the Flch, mond district was presented to them anu request made for additional School buildings, but no heed was taken of the request and in consequence nuhDer ol the children are compelled to alternate between the forenoon and afternoon III their attendance at the schools, While several are compelled to remain away al together
 During the past three months several meetings of the parents and others nave been held to protest against this treat ment At some of those meetings reSo- lutions were passed requesting the Board of Education to add two class rooms 10 l the Richmond schoolhouse as part con 1 cession, but no heed was taken Of this l request and the condition remains as It was one year ago, while the increase in

disdainfully at the witnesses on the other side when evidence was given that might hurt her case.
 She had the best of the day, how ever, and if the courts rulings are any criterion the Thalia management will have to pay her the wages claimed. Several exciting scenes occurred, prin- cipally caused by the lawyers, before the case was submitted to Judge Barry.
 Jack Chretien, of legal and theatrical fame, caused one diversion. He was produced as a witness by the defense and took the stand with all the assur- ance born >of long acquaintance with the stage.
 The dispute between the music hall management and the musical baroness hinged on the question as to whether she had a right to perform at other places of amusement while under con- tract to the Thalia and MT. Chretien was expected to testify that it is the custom for performers to give their en- tire time to houses where they were en- gagged.
 MT. Chretien tried to answer, but was greeted with a chorus something like this:

WHO MAY USE
 HOTEL PHONES NOn-Su bscreibrs May Not "Ring Up" at Their
 Will.
Contracts With the Telephone Companies Can Be En-
 forced.
An Interesting Decision Recently Rendered by Justice Cox of
 the Supreme Court
May hotel guests use the office

May hotel guests use the office phone?
 According to authorities they cannot at least at their own sweet will As- sociate Justice Cox, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, has lately decided what is known as the Hotel Fredonia telephone case, which has attracted much attention.
 It seems that the proprietor of the hotel procured telephone for his pri- vate business, and signed the usual contract The guests of the hotel used the telephone for their wants. The company notified the proprietor that the phone would be removed unless the contract was compiled with. The proprietor applied for an injunction to prevent the removal. Judge Cox de- cides that the telephone company has the right to have the contract com piled with, and may terminate the use of the phone if the agreement Is v1o- lated; that the proprietor could not permit the phone to be used for other purposes than those mentioned in the agreement, and should not allow the guests of the hotel to use it for their private business, such as calling TOT stock reports, ordering theater tickets, etc. The Judge says:
 The telephone company Is obliged to maintain a special plant and Is entitled to charge for all services rendered. All that the law requires is that the company shall not discriminate between its pa irons, but must serve all persons on the same terms The explicit terms of the contract made between the parties in 1896 are that the telephone shall be for the subscribers use only, and on breach or the terms the contract Is violated When the subscriber allows others to use his telephone it Is an abuse of the time of the telephone operator It is also an in fringement on the rights of the telephone company. Furthermore it is an infringe ment of the. rights of other subscribers; ITS The guest of the hotel does not have his telegrams sent free of charge, nor does he secure the service of messengers and the use of carriages without pay. Why should he be allowed to use the telephone without paying for its use?
 The case seems to be one of great interest to all telephone companies and has been very generally noticed in the newspapers throughout the United States.

honor'-"Not an eXpert." :"
 Then while the lawyers argued and wrangled and quoted the statutes the placid Chretien read copy of The Call and waited for them to finish. Between objections and exceptions he managed to say that it was the custom for per formers to hold only one engagement at a tune, but Justice Barry intimated that the testimony cut little figure and that IT contract had been entered into between the Brothers Schwartz and the Baroness Won Zieba she was entitled to some compensation for charming the patrons of the place
 The Baroness herself took the stand at one stage of the proceedings and when asked why she had left the Thalia declared Because MT. Schwartz was so insolent to me-"
 The lawyers finally disentangled themselves from the legal labyrinth in Which they had been lost and submitted the case as they said on it's merits. His honor decided that the legal prob lem was deep and intricate one and withheld Judgment until tomorrow morning

yet the loss it will sustain on it's Shasta route by the war started here will force 1t to take measures for it's own protec- tion as it cannot afford to lose the splendid business it has been doing for some time past between this city and northern points.
 The other northern roads refuse to consider any proposition looking toward compromise that will restore to the Canadian Pacific it's differential and say they will rather fight it out on the present line if it takes all summer.
 To sum the situation up in a few words, it is war to the knife between the three northern lines, with each one watching anxiously to see what the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe will do.

a dispatch from the police of Marsh field, Or. asking him to arrest Fred erick Simpson, charged with embezzle- ment.
 He is badly wanted" read the dis patch. Do all in your power to arrest him.
 A short time afterward another dis patch was received stating that Simp- son was aboard the Arcata, which was due in this city last Friday morning. Detectives Gibson and Wren were. de- tailed to arrest the alleged embeZzler and. after a short consultation, they agreed to board the vessel before it. docked, so as to preclude the possi- bility of escape. Accompanied by Ser geant FitZgibbon Gibson hired a small boat and rowed out in the bay, intend- ing to board the Arcata.
 As they hailed the vessel the captain refused to take them aboard, notwith- standing that they told him that they |, were officers of the law. Gibson at tempted to fasten a hook attached to his boat to the Arcata, when Captain Reed in an angry manner ordered him to "caSt away" under penalty of being forced to do so.
 Rolled in their efforts to board the vessel Gibson and his fellow officer started for the Vallejo street wharf, in the hope of heading off Simpson after the steamer docked. Detective Wren who was awaiting the arrival of the all legged embezzler, boarded the Arcata as it reached the wharf and asked the captain to point out to him the much wanted embezzler. Captain Reed, it is claimed, singled out the wrong man, allowing the real cuiprit to escape. The individual whom Reed said was Simp- son readily proved his innocence and was allowed to go. In the meantime Simpson left the steamer and made his escape.
 Captain Reed last night visited police headquarters and endeavored to excuse his action by claiming that he did not know that Gibson and Fitzgibbon were police officers. Chief Lees severely rep rimanded him for his conduct, and in formed him that he will consult the District Attorney with a view of secur- ing a warrant for his arrest for aiding and abetting a fugitive to escape.

The eXten- sion of time given the undertakers hay ing the contract for the burying of the indigent dead until next July Is not op- posed as the time will be but short. The Chinese having purchased cemetery of their own in San Mateo County will
 stop those people from burying any more of their dead on city soil. The several benevolent societies who were accorded the privilege of using the City Cemetery have discontinued interring their dead in that place for some time past, conse- quently only the citys dead will be placed there between now and next July.

the show is over His life Is made bur- den to him by the number of requests that are continually made for free ad- mittance by those who desire to have a good time without paying for 1t, and the schemes that are put up on him to gain an entrance would fill a book. But long experience In the business has made him a rather smooth article himself, and 1t has to be pretty clever ruse that Is sue cessfu.
 The other night, as he was standing In his accustomed place watching the audi ence file in to listen to the Bostonians, a well-dressed young fellow rushed up to him, and grasping him by the arm, said MT. Friedlander, just step inside with me for moment, will you? l want to show you something. Friedlander, thinking that something was wrong with the house. complied, and the two passed in together. As soon as they got inside the young fellow, pointing to one of the seats at the side of the dress circle, said: You Just stand here a moment ana look" He then went over and LOOK the seat while Friedlander stood and watched him. The stranger seated himselr, ano' picking up a programme. commenced to scan 1t, while the manager continued 10 stand and watch as he had been b1dden. After about ten minutes had passed MT. Friedlander became impatient, and walk ing over, touched the young fellow on the shoulder and said, T have been standing there as you directed but have seen noth- ing. What does this proceeding mean?" "Seen nothing" exclaimed the young man. Have you not seen the smoothest piece of work of your life? Have you not seen yourself worked by a stranger for an admittance and a seat? Now, let's get down to business. Are you going ito have me thrown out and get the ha ha all along the line, or are you going to give me the reward due for such a mag nificent exhibition of nerve and allow me to remain?'
 You may remain" said Friedlander, after moments careful thought.
 The story got out through a couple who had entered at the same time and, oc- cupying seats directly back of the one filled by him of the nerve, witnessed the whole little scene.
