A HUMAN HAND
FOUND IN THE
GARBAGE WORKS
RudeIy Chopped With
a Dull AK.
FROM A MEDICAL STUDENT
CORONER HILL DETERMINED
TO STOP THE PRACTICE.
Detective Egan Detailed to Ascertain
the Identity of the Miscreant
Who Is Perpetrating These
Outrages.
FROM A MEDICAL STUDENT
CORONER HILL DETERMINED
TO STOP THE PRACTICE.

Another mutilated portion of 8 human
body was found yesterday on the garbage
pile of the Sanitary Reduction Works.
1t was the left hand of a laboring man
and had been chopped off at the wrist
close to the lower joint of the thumb
with a very dull hatchet or similar in
stTument It had been in a picking vat
for some days and was as hard as a piece
of wood, and this fact leads to the belief
that it came from dissecting-room
The popularity of the thing is that the
hand had not been dissected. 1t was sim
ply chopped off, whether before or after
it had been picked it is impossible to say.
The fragment was taken to the Morgue
from which place 1t will be buried by the
City Undertaken at an expense TO the
city of IS 80.
Coroner Hill declares that he will put
a stop to this annoying practice of hair
Drained or no-brained medical students
dispOsing of human fragments in garbage
barrels. The serious feature of the case
is that it is impossible for the police au-
thOrities to determine whether or not the
fragments are those of the corpse of
murdered person or simply of a dissect-
tng-room subject obtained in a legitimate
way. The Coroner yesterday addressed the
following note to the Health officer:
DIR. A. 2. O'Brien. Health Ohcer-Dear
Sir: l suppose you have seen by the pa
pers that numerous portions OF bodies
have been found at the garbage cremat-
Ory within the past few weeks. l am en-
from, in order that the pernicious prac-
tice of throwing human ,remains in the
garbage may be stopped. trust that
I shall have your assistance in this mat
ter and would like to confer with you as
to some means of stopping II.

to discover the offender, and with that

AT the morning session of the board
plans were adopted for an incorrigiole
ward to be built on the second story or
the old factory building. The plan in
cludes thirty cells, which probably will be
built of steel at a cost of $l7OO. Another
estimate is for cells of wood and iron at a
cost of $780, The work will not begin until
the directors so order a their April ses-

the jute mill would have to be closed on
account of drought and the consequent
small supply demanded by farmers, but
the board decided that action at this time
would be premature. If better conditions
prevail at the time of the next session it
may not be necessary TO close the mill.
Prisoners who had broken rules of dis
cipline were brought before the board and
punished by being deprived Of credits as
follows: Joseph Baker, serving three years
for grand larceny, sixty days credits for
dore BOldiVia, twenty years for robbery,
six months credits for running away
for burglary, three months credits for
resisting guard; James Anderson, seven
years for burglary, one years credits for
making preparations for escape.

years for stealing a calf in Butte County,
was paroled.
The case of Baker stirred Director Dew
lin to frame a rule that after April l no
prisoner shall have any knife in his pos
session except as a tool. The Warden
said the convicts could not be kept from
putting points on knives, and received the
reply that that was what a Warden was
for. If he could not maintain discipline
somebody else should be permitted to try
it. The rule was unanimously adopted.
The report of the Warden on grain bags
and raw jute was as follows:

BERKELEY TO HAVE
A JUSTICE COURT
Governor Gage Approves Measure
Which Gives the Town It's
Own Legal Machinery.

BERKELEY, March 11-For over a
year the university town has been with
out a court and during that time NUM-
cipal ordinances have been dead letter.
The days of this state of things are now
numbered In a very short time Berkeley
will have the satisfaction of seeing law
administered, within its own corporate
limits and of knowing that the measures
passed by the Board of Trustees can be
enforced blythe effective means of legal
machinery.
a Telegram was received from Sacra-
mento to-day saying that Governor Gage
had approved a bill granting to towns or
10 900 TO 900 inhabitants the right to
establish a Justice Court. It is the Gov
ernor's signature to the bill which gives
the promise of the new order OF things.
The news of its having received executive
approval created quite an excitement here
and it has been the topic of discussion to-
day throughout the city.
The effort to secure this much-needed
legislation was undertaken by the Board
of Trustees at the opening of the present
LEGISLATURE. A previous attempt to bring
about the desired end by voting upon a
charter amendment at special munlclpal
election had signally failed. AS the need
of a court grew daily more pressing, the
only wav out of the difficulty lay in an
appeal 10 Sacramento. The appeal was
accordingly made, and not without result.
Senator E. K. Taylor OF Alameda intro
duced the measure into the Senate. 1t
was received with favor both there and IN
the lower house and to-day became law.
Berkeley watched it's progress not with
out considerable anxiety, and interested
residents have been at the capital for the
past two months endeavoring TO further
It's course Now that their work is over
the university town deems that il has
sufffcient cause to congratulate itself
When seen to-day, Town Attorney
Brewton A. Hayne, who has labored in
defatigably for the measure, SAID that II
would be a mere matter of time before
the machinery of a court would be set up.
He expected that after some preliminary
details had been looked after the County
SIlnervisors would appoint a Justice of
the Peace and thus bring the city once
more to the position where 1t could en-
