TEACHER IMSULTED
BEFORE HER PUPILS
UNIDENTIFIED CONDUCT OF A
TRAINER OF PUGILIsTs.
A Warrant Sworn Out for the Arrest
of "John Doe" Altman by Mrs.
Rebeeca Greenan.

Mrs. Rebecca Greenan. principal of
Sunnyvale school at the Five-mile House
on the San Bruno road, has been annoyed
beyond endurance by a few of the people
residing in close proximity to the school
building.
She appeared before Judge Low yester-
John Doe" Altman with the offense of
insulting her in the presence of her pu-
pills. The complaint is based on section
654 of the Penal Code, which is as fol-
lows: Every parent, guardian or other
person who upbraidS insults or abuses
any teacher of public schools in the pres
ence or hearing of a pupil thereof is
guilty of a smisdemeanor.'
The trouble has grown out of a dis
agreement between herself and the jani-
tress. Mrs George Burnett, who Is the
daughter of Henry Blanken, who keeps
the SiX-mile House on the San Bruno
for some of the San Francisco "pugs''
while in training. In this disagreement
between teacher and janitress the
parents of some Of the pupils have taken
sides, the majority being on the side Of
the principal.
Yesterday Altman, who is a rubber for
''Slogger' Kennedy, mounted a horse and
rode around the school building whisthng
and yelling like an Indian, thereby an
noying teacher and pupils. Not satisfied
with this he rode up to one of the school
back of his horse poked his head in
through the window and Missed, whistled
and made grimaces at the teacher.
After Mrs. Greenan had dismissed her
pupils she procured a warrant for the
arrest of Altman.

TO PROMOTE VAUDEVILLE.
Harry Jackson, the Alhambra's New
Manager, Arrives From New
XnrI-

Harry Jackson has come out from
the East to take upon his shoulders the
manag cement of the Alhambra Theater,
and though he arrived but last night he
has already entered upon the many du-
ties of his new position.
Mr.. Jackson is by no means unknown
to old San Franciscans. He is a pioneer
of the coast in matters theatrical, and
a short chat with him last evening re-
called former times to his many friends.
Said he:
Il started my career in the profession
in 1886 as a child actor at Maguires old
theater in this city. My father was at
dian there. Since that time I.have tray
eled all over Europe, and it was in Eng
land that 1 managed my first company.
At the age of is l took out an organ
ization from the Princess Theater there,
and since that time have been constantly
in the business l was also representative
for the late Charles Reade, who was a
partner of my father. until in 1882 when
/ took the stage for the late John Stetson
of New York. and afterward handled
many road companies"
When the vaudeville field was opened
Mr.. Jackson saw the possibilities, and at
once entered the field and became con-
nected with some of the most successful
theaters in the East, and has devoted
himself to the task of finding out what
the public require, both behind and in
front of the curtain.
Manager Jacksons many friends
