INSPECTOR COMPLAINS
TO PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Thomas Regan Says He Is Discrimi-
mated Against in the Matter
of Employment.


The Board of Public Works yesterday
listened TO the complaint of Thomas Re
gan, street inspector, who charged that
although he stood No. on the civil ser
vice eligible list. he was given less work
than d. J. O'Brien, who stands No. 6
on the list. Regan objected to being dis
crimnated against stating that last
month he made but $42, while O'Brien
had drawn 500. Regan claimed that it
was not fair TO give inspectors who
stand lowest on the list more advan-
tageous work than those who are higher
up. He also called attention to the fact
that although he was No. ] on the list
for superintendent of paving, the board
had given the place TO Charles Gal
lagher who was second, at a salary of
$50 per month.
Manson explained that the reason why
those lower on the list made more money
was because the work on which they
were engaged lasted longer. Ohnimus ex-
pressed the opinion that preference
should be given the men highest on the
list. and the matter was taken under
advisement-
The board awarded the contract for
the erection of the new fire engine
house on Bush street, near Taylor, to
Richard Mccain for S19,743. and the
plumbing for the same to John Doherty
for 1890
The hearts of the many employees of
the department were made glad by the
adoption of a resolution reapponting
them for a period of thirty days from
January J. 1903.

EXPERTS TESTIFY
IN All LIN CASE
Difference of Opinion
Relative to Chinese
Parentage.
attic Over Custod ianship Of
Child Is Being Fought
Out.

The battle over the custody of All Lin.
alleged TO be a white child. who was
taken from the custody OF a Chinese actor
AND actress at the JacksOn-street theater,
was again taken up before Judge Coffey
1asterday afternoon.
Expert medical testimony was put on
ly both sides in an endeavor TO prove
The nationality Of the child. Dr. William
Barbat was called by petitioners to prove
that the child was a Caucasian. The wit
-ss stated that he was a specialist OF
children and could determine by his
knowledge Of surgery and the measure
ments laid down by Huxley whether or
rot the child was OF Chinese or white
larentage. He stated that the height.
color and texture OF the hair bridge OF
the nose, color and shape Of the eyes and
The diameter Of the head were some OF
the means By which the parentage could
be proved.
After some objection on the part OF
counsel for the defense DR.. Barbat was
allowed 10 take the little one into the
judges chambers FOR an examination. and
upon his return stated that he could not
md one Characteristic Of the Chinese in
the child. Cross examination did not
shake his testimony on that point
Air. de Silva Interpreter in the United
and testified that he had lived I'm the
chinese empire for some time and had
Travelled extensively in that country. He
stated that he had seen many children
with Caucasian characteristics where the
father or mother were Chinese.
Albert J. Elliott, NJ D., who stated that
he had held the chair OF pathology in
the University Of Michigan. was the next
witness. He testified that he had at
tended An Lin for some time for acute
bronchitis. and at the time OF the first
visit had interrogated the father relative
t0 the parentage Of the child. He de-
ciared that Dr. Barbat was wrong when
DE said that the child did not have any
chinese characteristics and went on TO
state that the large square shaped chest.
- ebrows. almond eyes. texture Of skin
and hair and the shape Of the hands were
indisputable evidence that some Chinese
blood flowed in An Lin's veins.
The case was continued to allow coun-
sci for plaintiff to present more expert
medical testimony.

DRAMATIC SCENE OCCURS
IN THE POLICE COURT
David Klein, Widower, Faints When
Spoken to by Mrs. Mary
nauiS

There was dramatic scene in Police
Judge Cabaniss' court yesterday when
Mrs Mary Davis was instructed and ar
raigned on the charge of murder in con-
nection with the death of Mrs. Mary
Klein and her baby from burns received
last Friday night at 1921 Sixth street
The Judge had asked Alexander Laskey
a boy who professed to know something
about the case, and a Mrs. Hannah Lee
to be present in court, so that he could
informally hear what they had to say;
but the boys statements We're so con-
Trajectory that nothing definite could be
got out Of him. Mrs. Lee was only able
10 say that she saw some woman going
upstairs a few minutes either before or
after the fire broke out.
When the case had been continued till
this afternoon Mrs. Davis went toward
David Klein, the widower, with the in
tention OF saying that she did not throw
the lighted lamp that caused his wife's
death. She put her hand on Klein's arm
and said: you know
That was as far ss she got; for Klein
with a look of hatred on his face, said:
Go away, woman; go away. Don't you
dare touch mer' and fell in a faint on
the floor 1t took several minutes to
revive him
Since the tragic death Of his wife and
baby Klein has suffered intensely, and
it has told on him both mentally and
physically.

Charge Against Kane Dismissed.

The case of Frank ]. Kane, secretary
of the Pacific Humane Society, charged
with impersonating an officer, was called
in Police Judge Mogans court yesterday.
The records showed that Kane's COM
mission as a special officer had not been
renewed since July l, 1886. Kane testified
that he believed he was still a special
officer, as he had never been notified that
his commission was annulled. The Judge
asked Kane IL he would accept notice
that he was no longer a special, and he
replied in the affirmative. The Judge
thereupon dismissed the case.
