M|SCREANT CUTS
PHONE WIRES
Lines at City Hall Are
Almost Completely
Destroyed.
Slow Sending of Hospita /
Call Nearly Results
in Fatality.

Some miscreant entered the sub-base-
ment of the New City Hall some time be-
tween and 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and cut three telephone cables that car
ried most of the lines that make up the
entire hall system.
The person who committed the bastard
ly deed was one who is evidently we'll ac-
qainted with the working of the system
Entrance was gained through a heavily
ironed door on the Larkin-street corridor
and within a few feet of the City Hall
police station.
The miscreant had to grope his way
through the dark basement for quite
distance in order to get to the switch
board. Once there he easily accomplished
his purpose and rendered useless nearly
every line in the hall.
The wrecking of the system came near
resulting in a fatality. Lizzie Hedger-
son, domestic employed at 1873 Golden
Gate avenue, was seized with a hemor-
rhage while al work yesterday afternoon
and was relieved by physician of the
neighborhood. Soon after another and
more severe hemorrhage came on and it
was decided to send her to the Park
Emergency Hospital For an hour the
woman lay bleeding, and almost died
while her helpers were trying to make
connections with the hospital.
lHaIly, tnrOugn the private line OF the
Police Department, the Central Emergen-
cy Hospital was reached, and then came
another wait. that department trying to
communicate with the Park Hospital,
which is much nearer to the original call.
The Central ambulance was at last dis
patched, after an enforced loss of valua-
BILE time. The woman. when she was
brought in. was in very weak condition.
and DR.. Boskowitz, after treating her,
ordered that she be kept at the hospital
for the night.
In all, some $50 wires were cut. and the
force of workmen will be occupied until
tomorrow in completing repairs.

was never more pleasing than when rem
dering the beautiful vocal number, "Oh,

popular Sean Bean Bocht." Miss Nora
Sandy gave a plaintive and sweetly me-
lodious rendering Of a Gaelic song. for
which she received a hearty and we'll de-

with a eulogy on Robert Emmett by Rev.
P. c. Yorke and the singing Of God Save
Ireland
Miss Nora Sandy acted as accompanist
and admirably she filled the Office.

BACHMAN HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Witness Is Threatened
With Arrest by At
tOrney Banning.
His Testimony Is Refuted
by That Of an Old
Mongolian.

Charles Bachman. who assists his
father in conducting a hardware and gun
shop at IL Clay street, will not again ap-
pear voluntarily as a witness in a Chi
nese deportation case so long as his
recollection Of the raking over he re-
celved yesterday from First Assistant
United States Attorney z. J. Banning re-
mains green.
The grilling Of Bachman occurred dur
ing the taking Of a deposition in the case
Of Won An Foo, a Chinese arrested in
Montana for being unlawfully in the
country. Won claimed TO be a native of
san Francisco and called as his principal
white witness young Bachman. Bachman
swore that he knew Won since infancy
and knew that Won was native of San
Francisco's Chinatown He also knew
Won's respected father and saw him not
later than a month ago. when the ven
cradle gentleman who poses as Won's
father came into the hardware store and
made several extensive cash purchases
Among the items Of this transaction
were six axes, six saws and other useful
implements.
All the witnesses except the one on the
stand were excluded from the courtroom,
and when Bachman left the room Won's
putatiVe father. Won Ali Ii. was called
10 by Bachman he made fiat denial and
said that he had not been in the Bach
man store within a year al the latest.
Banning called Bachman into the room
and after introducing him to Deputy
United States Marshal Benas, said
You have committed perjury in this
case. and II 1 ever catch you in this
courtroom again I'll have you arrested
Well said Bachman, shaking all over,
4 want 10 explain TO you
4 don't want anything to say TO you,
pursued Banning.
At this iuncture o. P. Stidger. attorney
for Won All Foo, came UP and said: oh,
Lord why did you swear thar way2'
There said Banning. your own at
torney admits that you were lying.
Nothing further was done in the matter
and Bachman left the building without
further loss of time
