POLICE COURTS
Are CENSURED
Coroner Leland Severely
Criticizes Officials for
Leniency Toward Thugs
KIND WORDS FOR NURSE
Does Not Believe That Miss
Wiley Should Not Be Ac-
cused of Committing Crime

Coroner Leland yesterday morning.
in presence of a jury, severely criti-
cized the Police Courts of this city for
the management of certain criminal
cases. He said in substance:
We find that the police court takes a very
serious view of this case. Nurses risk their
lives daily for the good OF their patients They
work for the love Of doing good. We all know
that these same courts make no examination
into and Immediately discharge cases Of Grim
skulls. They take no cognizance whatever OF
many things which were matters of life and
death, and even the thug and men with the
very worst of motives meet with a leniency
which trained nurse working with the very
best OF motives could hardly expect TO receive.
The matter in issue was the inquest
into the cause of death of Frans John
son, who was killed in the Marine Hos
pital by being given bichloride of mer-
curry by mistake for sulphate of mag
nesia on July II. Miss Stella Wiley
was the nurse who made the mistake,
and she had been placed under $4,000
bonds by Police Judge Fritz pending
her examination for manslaughter- The
Coroner's speech to the jury had its
effect, for verdict was rendered of
accidental death, without any censure
upon the nurse or the management OF
the hospital.

ARBITRATOR Is TO SETTLE
WARFIELDS DAMAGE
Controversy Over Surrender of Lease
On California Hotel 10 MacdOn-
ouch Estate.


The Macdonough Estate Company
and Richard II. Warfield, former les
see of the California Hotel, have en-
tered into a controversy over the mat
ter Of Warield's responsibility for
damage to the house and its contents
during his tenancy and, according to
papers filed yesterday in the County
Clerks Office, both sides have agreed
to submit the differences to William
5. Miller for settlement.
Warfeld leased the hotel on March
/, 1899, and his term of proprietorship
expired on March 81 of this year. For
the whole period the rent was to be
$500 or $3.50 a month. After the
expiration of the lease and the deliv-
cry of the property to the Macdon-
ough estate Warfield rendered all of
the glass, china and plated ware and
kitchen utensils. but the estate COM
pany refused to accept them on the
ground that they were unfit for use
in a hotel j the California.
Besides this the question arose as
to Warfeld's liability for damage 10
the furniture, carpets, walls, wood
work, etc, and Warfield discIaimed
any liability further than for SIS 35,
which he paid. The other damages al
legged go into the propositions for set
tlement by the arbitrator.

GRAY BROTHERS DECLARE
THEY HAVE BEEN LIBELED
Commence Suit Against the Bulletin
for $4,000 on Account OF
Article Published.

A suit for $4,000 for libel was
commenced yesterday against L. a.
Crothers by G. Z. Gray and II. y.
Gray, doing business as Gray Bros,
which is based upon an article which
appeared in the local columns of the
Bulletin on July 80 last.
Gray Bros. are contractors ana fur-
nish the city with rock for use in
street improvement. The article Cf
which they complain was headed
Grand Jury After Grafters." other
portions Of the heading stated that
the Board of Public Works was par
tial to Gray Bros blue rock; that
GRAY Bros. owned all of the blue TocK
and that the Board of Public Works
forbade contractors using a better ana
cheaper red rock, and that chemist
had found tht the red rock stood a
5000 test and the blue rock only 1000.
The plaintiffs aver that the article
meant to convey the impression that
Cray Bros. had committed dishonest
acts and were liable to be indicted by
the Grand Jury. They say that the
statements were false, scandalous
and unprivileged.'

Saves Sailors From Drowning

The steam schooner Celia on Wednesday
evening saved seven members of the crew of
the French ship Duchesse de Berry from drift
ing to sea in a water-logged ships boat The
French sailormen had started to row ashore in
a boat the seams Of which the suns rays had
robbed OF calking. There was a strong tide
running and when the boat began to leak the
water poured in faster than all hands could
bail it out. Rowing was out Of the question
and there was no sail in the boat, so the seven
sailors just baled and bailed while the tide
swept the leaking craft seaward When the
Celia intervened the water in the ships boat
was within a few inches OF the gunwale and
seven different kinds of fear had found lodg-
ment In the hearts of the sailors seven. The
Celia landed the men at the Main-street wharf
