PIsToLEsI CONVICTED.
Acting Police Judge Barry Will Sen
tence Him To-Morrow for Dis
turbinp the Peace

Attorney L. c. Pistolesi was convicted
by Acting Police Judge Barry yesterday
on the charge Of disturbing the peace and
was ordered to appear for sentence to-
morrow. On March Pistolesi and Fred
Wickenhausen went to Bacon place and
attempted to evict two women The
women refused to move and a row ensued
during which the attorney and Wicken-
hansen were arrested for disturbing the
peace.
In convicting Pistolesi the Judge re-
marked that as an attorney he ought to
have known that the proper person to
serve the eviction papers was a Sheriff.
AS he had confessed that Wickenhausen
had acted under his Instructions he would
dismiss the case against Pistolesi's agent.
PistoleSi sneeringly inSinuated that he
knew beforehand that he would be con-
victed, as the Judge was biased against
him, but he supposed that a fine of 50
no alternative, would be imposed, which
would satisfy him. The Judge hotly de-
MED that there was any bias in his mind
against Pistolesi. and if he considered
that a fine of S. with no alternative would
be imposed he was very much mistaken
Pistolesi, after he left the courtroom
said he would appeal the case and would
do everything In his power to drive Barry
out of the Native Sons organization and
ruin him politically. The Judge laughs at
his threats.

PROPERTY THAT is TAXABLE.

on Tronortant Opinion.
an Important OF

CITY and County Attorney Lane has
sent to the Board of Supervisors an opin-
ion bearing on several questions as to the
liability of certain goods to taxation. The
first of these relates to- goods consigned
to this State from another State: After
quoting the statute and the rules and
regulations of the State Board OF EquaE-
zation bearing on the subject Mr.. Lane
says: =
"The conclusion must therefore be
reached that the State statute must gov
ern. and goods consigned to this State
from another State for sale m must aS1a o,oe be
and in the hands of the consignee."
Regarding cong companies fba 6nsv Attor

In the matter Of stocks it is held held that hat
1.-The shares of stock corporations, the
tangible property of which is situated
and taxed in this State, may not be taxed,
but that the shares of stock of corpora
tions, the tangible property of which is
situated in another State, may be taxed.

gamblers took water.
Judge Smith fined each one 500. and the

go to Paris, where he studied under the

AN HONEST BELLBoY.
Returns Large Sum to Major Hays
at the Palace

Surgeon Major Hays of the Sfamese
navy arrived at the Palace on Friday
morning, and yesterday he instructed the
bellboy on the second floor, Louis Pizarro
by name, to take the suit of clothes which
he had been wearing on his trip across
the continent to a tailor and have it
cleaned and pressed. Young Pizarro, who
is about 20 years of age, did so, and as he
was passing through the halls with the
suit on his arm a wallet containing cur
rency consisting of $1,000 sterling and $500
in American notes fell out of the pocket
of the coat.
Pizarro was astounded at the display
of so much wealth placed at his disposal
but his honesty has always been above
par, and he forthwith hunted up Surgeon
Hays and handed him the money. The
major was agreeably surprised, as he had
quite forgotten that the plIls were in that

Ever since the outbreak of hos

cranks and freaks of all descriptions
have been in the habit of drifting
into the quarters of the major in
the commissary headquarters on
New Montgomery street, and the
jovial officer has evolved more

out of a first-class minstrel per-

all as jokes and chuckles gleefully
over his experiences.
