as soon as the formal consent Of their
respective parents. residing at Los An
geles. can be obtained by Secretary
White Of the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children. Mr.. White
wrote 10 the parents yesterday and,
pending his receipt Of an answer the
young couple viii remain in the City
Prison. where they have been confined
since Thursday evening. when they
were arrested and booked for va
grancy.
When the lad and the lass appeared
before Judge Mogan yesterday morn
ing and his Honor heard their story,
he suggested marriage as the best
thing he could prescribe for them.
They agreed. Then he sent for Mr..
White, who cheerfully consented to ar
range the preliminaries.
Pearl and Joseph were sweethearts
IN the southern metropolis, but their
mutual attachment was not approved
by the girls mother. who did every
thing in her power 70 keep them apart
One day. however. she took Pearl out
70 visit a dentist and the girl en-
braced the first opportunity to slip
away from her and join the waiting
Joseph. They took a steamship for San
Francisco. arrived here about week
sgo and. representing themselves TO
be husband and wife, engaged an
apartment at IL Howard street. There
they were discovered by the policeman
who was sent in quest OF them as soon
as Chief Whitman received notification
Of the eloDement from the young wo-
mans parents.
I'VE would have been married as
soon as we arrived here" said Joseph
70 the Judge, but we could not OBJ
tain a license because neither Of US is
Of legal age TO marry without parental
consent, and we knew that If Pearls
mother could prevent the union she
would do So"
Joseph seems to be a well-meaning
young fellow, for he obtained employ
ment in a biscuit factory the day after
his arrival here and worked steadily
until he was arrested. Pearl is very
pretty girl and says her life aim is TO
become Mrs. Joseph c. Woodwork.
Judge Conlan. rejuvenated by his six
weeks vacation, gave Patrick Ferry
six months for stealing s17 and a watch
from the apartment Of Allan Davis at
724 Howard street.
John Carr visited the lodging house
at 5l5 Mission street and behaved in
such a disorderly way that the land
lady. Mrs. Margaret Cook, had him ar
rested for disturbing the peace. He
was drunk. Mrs. Cook testified, and in
sisted upon visiting every room in the
house 10 find a real or ina gined Mr..
Healey, Of whom she had never heard
before. and when she and her hus-
band attempted 70 expostulate, Mr..
Carr promptly knocked the latter pros
trate and also treated her with un-
seeming rudeness.
AS he stood before Judge Mcgan and
his misdemeanor was recounted Mr..
Carr plainly was not entirely sober. for
he swayed and muttered unintelligibly.
Bafin Hickey. whose keen sense Of
propriety was shocked by the defend
ants condition and demeanor, en-
desvored TO straighten him UP, when
Mr.. Carr turned upon him and acted
SO outrageouslv that the Judge ordered
his removal TO iho tanks.
When the case Of former Police Ser
geant Reuben F. Wolf. accused Of bat
terry by Edmund E. Coblentz. a news
paper reporter, was called before
Judge Fritz the defense asked for a
two weeks continuance on account Of
the illness Of the defendants attorney,
Hiram I. Johnson. The prosecution
was ready 10 proceed with the i'm
paneling OF a jury from the venire
then IN court, but the Judge stated
that the apparent seriousness of the
case demanded that the full legal
representation Of each side be present
and ordered a continuance till 8
o'clock next Wednesday morning.
Judge Mogan concluded the taking
of testimony in the case OF Charles
Edward Eichelberg. proprietor of the
Peoples Laundry. who was charged
with battery by Joseph Toomey, sub
stitute driver Of one Of the wagons
belonging TO the establishment.
The evidence went to show that
Mr.. Toomey violated the laundry rules
by entering a room where some young
women were employed and engaging
them IN conversation. The foreman
reminded him that he had no business
there and ne would better depart,
whereupon Mr. Toomey calmly began
manufacturing a "cigareet" and re-
marked that he would like to see any
one attempt TO enforce his exit. This
so angered the foreman that he went
10 the front Office and notified Mr..
Eichelberg OF Mr.. Toomy's defiant at
titude and Mr.. Eicheiberg hastened
TO where the intruder coolly awaited
expulsion and at once expelled him.
Mr. ToOmey averred that unnecessary
violence was used in his removal. as
he was pitched headlong down stair
way and into an empty barrel at its
foot. Mr.. Eichelberg. on the other
hand vowed that he used no more
force than was necessary to effect his
purpose Of Kidding the room of Mr..
Toomey's presence.
His Honor has the case under ad-
visement.
Fred Landmasser Of 1O041k Mission
street was charged with threatening
70 kill his wife, Madge, and Judge
Conlan continued the case in response
10 Mrs. Landmasser's request that she
