| I. G. Pilkington, who proudly boast
ed that he has dwelt more than two
/ score years in the United States with
out relinquishing his allegiance to the
British crown and constitution, gazed
! with lofty contempt at his environ
ment yesterday in Police Judge Mo-
! gan's courtroom. He was arrested
last Friday evening for hurting oral
abuse at the attaches of the Central
| police station, and when arraigned
| Saturday morning he haughtily in.
formed the Magistrate that he did not
care d-n whether he was sent to
Jail or not, because he was tired of this
country and everything and everybody
in 1t. A second charge of disturbing
! the peace was Immediately filed
against him and he was remanded for
| further examination till yesterday,
when he showed that his spirit had not
been in the least subdued by his forty
eight hours Incarceration. With folded
arms and head defiantly poised, he sat
| aloof from the other prisoners in the
crowded cage and watched the court
proceedings as if he was bored. When
! his name was called by the bailiff he
| languidly rose and sauntered to the
defendants stand. Ticking some dust
specks from his shabby enteel coat
as he faced the Judge.
| What do you think of yourself this
morning." his Honor inquired.
There has been no radical change
in my self-rating since last saw YOU.
was the answer. Il was born gentle
man and in the old country would be
treated as a gentleman"
Even if you were to behave yourself
as you did the other day."
My dear sir. gentleman once is
gentleman always. l can show two
coats of arms and trace my ancestry
a thousand years"
My dear sir, 300 coats of arms or
distinct lineage extending to the flood
would not condone the blackguardism
of which you stand accused. In this
country a man is less honored for his
ancestry than for his progeny. For
your own sake it is to be regretted that
you cannot appreciate the grossness of
the insult you addressed to this bench
an insult which no American gentle
man would utter if he were similarly
placed in a foreign tribunal"
Maybe 1 did go little too far,
said Mr.. Pilkington.
You went a great deal too far,
said the Judge. II will sentence you
Tomorrow"
Judge Cabanlss sentenced P. Marsh
cano, convicted of renting the prem
Uses at 1929 Dupont street for immoral
purposes, to pay a fine of $500 or serve
125 days in the County Jail. In pro-
nouncing sentence his Honor said that
he did not take into consideration more
| than was necessary the moral phase OF
| the case, but acted strictly in accord
ance with the spirit of the laws made
| for the regulation of the social evil.
| Yet he added, lit must be admitted
! that any man who allows premises
nr
immoral use degrades himself and
must love money over much. No man
! could retain his self respect and profit
| from the uses to which the premises
| leased by this defendant were put with
his evident knowledge and consent"
The united strength of six stalwart
policemen was requisite to overpower
James Wallace, arrested for disorderly
conduct at the laundry blaze on Eddy
street last Sunday morning. and in the
| struggle Patrolman Crowley had sew
eral fingers broken by the muscular
prisoner. Wallace will be sentenced
to-day by Judge Fritz.
Thomas Dolan, accused of cruelty to
his five minor children, has been
placed by some of his friends in an in
stitution for the cure of inebriates.
/ Since his first arrest he was twice re-
leased TO aid the police in finding his
wife and on each occasion he gave
his escort the slip and was drunk when
recaptured Secretary White of the
! California Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children appeared before
| Judge Mogan yesterday and stated
! that Mrs. Dolan had been found living
! at the home of an acquaintance and
| that she did not seem to be responsible
for the neglect to which her offspring
| had been subjected, as she was COM
| PEELED to work to supply them with
food and lodging while her husband
'electioneered' and got drunk. The
complaint against the woman was dis
missed and the man will be tried as
| soon as he is able to appear in court.
He was recently appointed a special
| policeman, but the appointment has
been revoked on account of his con-
| duct.
Charles A. Rath. vagrant. hoped
| that Judge Fritz would not order his
compulsory departure from the city,
| as he was afraid a sudden change of
climate might injure his health. He
came here from San Mateo, he said,
/ and found the climatic mutation very
| beneficial to him.
Il must order your deportation"
said His Honor, "and I would advise
| you to walk back to San Mateo, so as
to avoid the sudden change of atmos-
| pheric condition that a trip on the
! train would mean. The slower you
walk the less abrupt will be the
change"
1 Herbert Freeman, colored youth.

Patroffnan Isaacs. who arrested him
| for disorderly conduct last Saturday on
Powell street, between Union and
Green. When the officer advised Mas

manner compatible with the neighbor-

was "sassed'' in return.
