FINED A FIVE.
Curly" Cameron Paid for Batter
ing H. w. Harris.

Curly" Cameron withdrew in the
City Justices Court yesterday his plea
Of not guilty of battering H w. Harris
and pleaded guilty. Harold Slater also
pleaded guilty of disturbing the peace.
Mr.. Harris told the story of how the
men came to his house early Sunday
morning and raised a disturbance be-
cause they could not get in and how
Cameron battered him up badly.
Mrs. Harris corroborated his story
and told how Cameron threatened to
break the door down and rushed in
when it was opened and attacked Mr..
Harris.
Michael Fay also testified to the same
facts.
Cameron took the stand and said that
Mrs. Harris would not let Slater go out
of the house after he got his overcoat
and he therefore insisted on coming in
to help his friend, and that when he
went in Harris grabbed him.
Justice Allen said it was evident Cam
eron was the aggressor all the way
through, and had no business in the
house. He should therefore find him
guilty and fine him So AS for Slater
it being shown that he roomed in the
house but owed room rent that should
be paid, he would suspend judgment in
his case.

KAHN ON THE PHILIPPINES.
The Congressman Thinks There
Will Be Chances There.

Congressman julius Kahn of San
francisco was in Sacramento yester-
day ON professional business. Mr.. Kahn
has been making many speeches late
ly on political and social questions,
particularly on the problems growing
out of the Spanish war. To Record
Union" reporter he said:
Il believe there will be chances for

Secretary of the Navy for a young
man from Sacramento to go on a
naval vessel to the Ladrones. He will
investigate the condition of affairs, and
on his report number of others will
act
But don't the soldiers say it's a
hot. miserable country" was asked.
That may be. So he replied, but,
While 1 have the highest respect for
the patriotism and honor of American
soldiers, I am not taking their judg-
ment on countries Why? Because
those who camped in San Francisco
wrote back East that the climate was
the worst on earth, a place unfit for
habitation. They saw it from dis
advantageous point of view, just as
soldiers everywhere do. l still be-
lieye there are chances in the Philip
pines, and / know that some of the
boys have stayed there and gone into
business"
Mr.. Kahn thinks the Americans will
give the Filipinos good government
and grant them greater liberties than
they have ever -dreamt of before

SHOCKING ACCUSATION.
MADE BY A GIRL AGAINST C, A
HOLLAND.
The Latter Has Been Arrested and
Will Be Vigorously Prose-
cuted.

Constable Henry Alter last night ar
rested Charles A. Holland on a COM
plaint sworn out by young girl charg-
ing him with criminal assault. The
crime alleged was committed a week
ago Sunday
: The victim is about IS years old
and small for her age She has been
employed as a domestic by family in
the northeastern part of the city, and
early in the evening of the day men
tioned-according to her story-was on
her way down town to visit a young
lady friend She says Holland met her
as he was driving up the street, and
asked her to get in his buggy and GO
for a ride.
He knew her very slightly, she says,
but she declined, though repeatedly
urged to get in the buggy. Holland
finally drove on, but returned and Of
fered to take her to her friends house.
This invitation she also. declined, but
was finally prevailed on to get in the
buggy.
Then, she says, Holland drove out
Sixteenth street, despite her protests.
and across the levee into the willow
jungle. There he forced her out of the
buggy and subjected her to the most
brutal treatment, as she was not strong
enough to defend herself. He then
took her down the Riverside road, and
in a secluded place repeated his brutal
attack on her.
The girl told the story of her wrongs
to her friends and subsequently made
a sworn statement of all the facts
which are too shocking to be even hint
ed at in print. The warrant for Hol-
lands arrest was placed in Constable
Alters hands and last evening the man
was lodged n the County Jail
Holland has been employed at times
as hack-driver, and has a wife and
two children.
The officers claim to have abundant
evidence to support the girls story.

Fourth-You will meet many young

Steer clear of them, and have pity.

more comedies before the American

JUVENILE HoODLUMs.
One of Them Came Near Killing a
Little Girl.

Last evening while a number of lit
tie girls We're playing on the sidewalk
on street, near Thirteenth, a boy
threw a stone at them which struck
Edith White, a 6-year-old child, over
the eye, cutting a deep CASH
Had the missile hit her an inch or
two farther back, on the temple. it
would probably have killed her, or if a.
little lower it would have destroyed her
eye.
There were several boys together at
the time, and each accuses another of
having thrown the stone, and it may not
be an easy matter to fasten the guilt
where it belongs. 1t is not the first
time, however, that certain boys in that
vicinity have shown a. disposition to in
]ure smaller children, and someone is
likely to get into trouble yet.
