SAVES W|DBER
ANOTHER TRIAL
Motion to Dismiss the
Second Indictment
Is Granted.

The second indictment against A. c..
Widber, eX-City Treasurer, charging him
with the embezzlement of $4,000 of the
city funds. was. on motion of Attorney
PeiXotto, for the defendant, dismissed by
Judge Cook yesterday on the ground that
the sixty days during which the trial
should have been held had elapsed. The
point was made in view of the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Bergerot case
from san Jose.
The Judge in granting the nation said
he would like to have the point decided
upon by the Supreme Court, but the Dis
trict Attorney says he is doubtful il ~
can appeal in view of the fact that the
Indictment was dismissed, which practi-
cally ends the matter. II the indictment
had been quashed it would have been diff
ferent.
When Widber was sentenced to eight
years in San Quentin about three wears
ago, the second charge was put on The
reserve calendar without objection, so
that in the event of Widber beng released
on parole he could be tried again on thar
charge.
The District Attorney claims that the
decision in the Bergerot case did not an
ply In the Wldber case. In the BergerOt
case the Jury mad disagreed and no effort
hSa been made by the District ATTORNEY
OF San Jose 10 bring the case up for re
trial within sixty days, thereby depriving
tne ue1endant OF his liberty which was
me polnC aimed at in having a case tried
within that period unless reasonable cause
! could be shown for a continuance In
the Widber case the defendant could not
be deprived of his liberty, as he is in San
| Quentin.

May NOT PAVE
MISSION ROAD
City Attorney Lane Says
the Procedure Is
Illegal.

City Attorney Lane advised the Board
of Works yesterday that the Board of SUI
perviSOrS had no power to authorize the
expenditure of $4,000 upon the paving OF
Mission street from Silver avenue to
Onondaga avenue and advises that the
bids therefor be considered as void and
that the check deposited be returned.
This opinion will be unwelcome news to
the property owners along the line of the
proposed Improvement who subscribed
Sl5,e0e for the purpose, the city appropriate
ing like sum. The opinion says:
The city. under the charter. cannot expend
its funds for the pavement of unaccepted
street. Nor the city expend more than
$4,000 per year for the Improvement of county
roads, II there be any such roads within the
limits of the municipality. Therefore what
ever Mission street may be, whether county
road city street, there was no power in the
Board Of Supervisors to authorize the expendi-
ture of 900 for the work proposed and no
power in the Board of Public Works to caII
for bids therefor.
The proposed street work involved herein is
important and necessary and it may be that
by following another line of procedure it can
be done by the city, but the procedure taken
has not been such as the law cOuntenances.

DRUNKEN FATHERS MUST
PROVIDE FOR CHILDREN
Judge Fritz Has Been Successful H.
Bringing Two Male Parents
&o

Judge Fritz has for the second time
played the role of protector for chill
dren who are neglected by their male
parent, and he feels proud of the
achievement. A week ago Joseph Thomp-
son, a longshoreman, residing on Perry
street, between Harrison and Bryant, was
brought before him for getting drunk and
neglecting his family by wasting all his
wages. The Judge made him promise to
take the pledge and in future give his
wife enough money to support her and
the children, and continued the case for a
week. Yesterday Mrs. Thompson APP
peared in court and said that her husband
had taken the pledge and had not tasted
4 drop since, giving her all the money
she needed. The Judge continued the case
for another two weeks to see how Thomp-
son behaved himself.
Yesterday he had a similar case before
him. Christian Peterson, a longshoreman,
was charged by a neghbor, Mrs. Mar
garet McClenegan, 5O4 Greenwich street,
with frequenting saloons and not proVid-
ing for his four young children, who were
produced in court. They had to depend
upon the neighbors for support. The
Judge made Peterson promise to go to
work at once and totally abstain from
liquor for a week, and 70 bring him a
strict account next Monday of what he
had earned and what he had spent for
necessaries. The case was continued till
then.

DEFINES LAKE
COUNTY MINES
Aubury Brings Out First
Of Long Expected
Registers.

The State Mining Bureau yesterday re-
ceived from the State Printing Office at
Sacramento the first copy Of a register
of the mines and minerals of Lake
County, which was prepared under the
direction of State Mineralogist Aubury.
Some curiosity has been manifested con-
corning this register, which is the first of
series of ten which will, severally, ex-
plot Lake, San Diego, Ell Dorado, Placer,
Anadcr, Santa Barbara and Shasta coun-
ties in an entirely new and practical way
for the benefit of all concerned in mining
as operators or investors. With the Lake
County register is map upon which are
figures showing the exact locality of min
eral deposits mentioned in the register.
The register and map are, therefore, sup
Elementary. Each successive register will
be accompanied by map. The introduce
tion TO the register OF Lake County lndi-
Gates the general scope OF the work I'M
dertaken. IN part it is as follows:
The Register Of Mines and Minerals of the
State OF California, issued by the State Mining
Bureau is intended to give information con-
corning the gold mines--quartZ, hydraulic,
drift. placer etc.-as well as a list of mills
and arrastras, and also to give corresponding
information relating to each OF the mineral
substances mined or commercially utilized in
the State. This forms both State and county
directory of the mines of California, the reg
lister being so printed that each county Is
represented in q. separate pamphlet. The reg
lister viii answer for the guidance OF those
to learn the essential facts concerning it. To
accompany the printed register is a topo-
graphical map of each county showing all
mineral locations. etc. These maps are the
scale of two miles to one inch. The mines
are numbered in the table and a corresponding
number on the map indicates the exact loca-
ton. One may find from this. approximately
how far he must go from any specified town OF
station to reach any particular mine and may
! learn the location Of railroads, trails. roads
1 etc.
The Lake County register has a pre-
| liminary summary of the mineral re-
! sources Of the county, and this is fol
! lowed by a tabulation In which the min
! ing deposits are enumerated and de-
! scribed with considerable detail. From the
lable 1t appears that Lake County has

mines, one onyx deposit, one chrome iron

off the train during its stop and when
travel was resumed the conductor refused

The persuasive arguments of the police

Preside and the neighborhood has re-
sumed its customary appearance of peace
and quiet. Additional guards have been
placed at all points where disturbances
might reasonably be expected to arise and
an all-night patrol of fifty men has been
established, so that there can be no loi-
tering on the streets after taps.
Corporal White has been Identified as
one of the ringleaders of the mob and he
is at present in the guardhouse awaiting
such punishment as a general court-mar-

citing his comrades to riot and he also
will probably be given an opportunity to
repent of his untimely belligerency.

in the case of three coolies who swore be-

three firms, of which they gave the
