ton of his guilt. He urged the board not
to take any action which will deprive Croft
of his reputation while his appeal is pend
ing. 1t was explained that the appeal acts
as a stay of the operation of the sentence,
and it was contended that the trial board
should not exceed what the court has done.
His dismissal at this time, counsel stated,
would do Groff an irreparable injury.
And would you not feel that you had un-
justly dealt with him If the court should
say his conviction was improper asked
counsel.
Mr. Stevens. in response. said he would
admit that Mr.. Conrad had said of Croft 8
innocence just what counsel had read. but
he could not see what bearing the remarks
had upon the case. The Jurors were in
trusted with the duty of determining upon
Judges. He referred to the statement OF
Justice Pritchard, in which he told counsel
that he would not have taken Groff's case
from the jury even il counsel had made the
thought the case before the trial board was
such that the accused officer should be
dismissed.
Question Interjected.
''why should the board anticipate the
Court Of Appeals?' counsel for defense
asked. SHOULD Croft be granted new
trial and be acquitted. would you say he
had been guilty of conduct unbecoming an
oflcer?'
1.-THE Indictment and trial of the case are
enough to bring discredit and disrepute
upon the police force" Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Stevens stated. "A police
man is public officer. and in the eyes of
the public must walk in the paths of recti-
trde In this case we also have a convic-
ton, as the record shows, and we must as
sumo that the defendant was rightfully
convicted"
''Then there are many violent assump-
tions," Mr.. Maddox remarked. I'm the
event OF Groff's dismissal and his subse-
quent aoquittal In court what could the
board do?' counsel asked.
Mr.. Stevens replied that the board would
have no authority to undo what It had
done.
IT was at this Juncture that Mr.. Sinclair
wanted to know II the board had the power
to recommend the ofhcer's dismissal mere

timony showed. Mr.. Maddox said, and was
not contradicted. that Samuel A. Croft
never saw that letter, showing that Groh
was convicted upon an erroneous impress

astounding one ever rendered in a court of
justice. Counsel then spoke of Groff' 8
twenty years on the police force. follow
ing his service in the army, which he en-
tered when he was a mere boy of sixteen
years. His record on the force has been Of
the best, and no one ever knew him to

injured by footpads to such an extent that
he never fully recovered from its effects

COURTS WITHOUT POWER
Lee Wing Chung'S Case to
Go Before Supreme Court
for Final Determination

Acting under instructions from the
United States Attorney General, United
States District Attorney Woodwork
took the preliminary steps yesterday
TO appeal to the United States Supreme
Court the habeas corpus case of Lee
Wing Chung and have the question
decided whether the action of the Com
missioner Of immigration in denying
a landing to a Chinaman claiming TO
be native American is final, or
whether il is renewable on habeas
corpus by the Federal courts.
United States Court Commissioner
Heacock fled his report yesterday with
United States District Judge de Haven
10 the effect that the evidence had con-
vinced him that Lee Wing Chung was
a native American and was entitled
TO be landed, notwithstanding the ad-
verse action Of the Commissioners Of
immigration. Duncan Z. McKinlay, on
behalf of the Government, filed a de-
murrer TO the report of the Commis-
sioner and cited the decisions of Judge
Ray Of New York and Judge Wheeler
Of Vermont TO the effect that the ac-
ton Of the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton in such cases is final and not re-
Viewable.
Judge de Haven took the demurrer
under advisement. He has already held
in another case, and the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit has held likewise, that a native
American desiring TO return to his
country from a foreign land and being
prevented from doing so without due
process Of law and on that ground ap-
plying to a United States court for a
writ of habeas corpus is entitled to
have a judicial determination of the
facts. and no act of Congress can be
understood as a bar TO such judicial
determination.
United States Circuit Judge Morrow
has also rendered a similar decision.

CITY ENGINEER
TO STATE COST
Supervisors Committee Is
in Favor of the Proposed
Widening of Fourth Street
WANTS POLES REMOVED
Outdoor Leagues Petition
Is Referred to Department
of Electricity for Report

The Supervisors Street Committee
yesterday referred to the Board of Pub
lie Works the petition of the Market
Street Company and other property
owners for the widening of the roadway
of Fourth street from Market to Chan
mel by reducing the sidewalk widths
four feet on each side
The City Engineer will be directed to
prepare plans, specifications and an es-
innate of cost OF the proposed improve
ment, for which provision will in all
likelihood be made in the next munich
pal budget.
The members of the committee-Su-
pervisors Rock, Connor and BraGnhart
expressed themselves in favor of the
proposed widening, as it would relieve
the congested teaming traffic on the
thoroughfare and result in less interfer-
ence with the progress Of the street
cars, as in the case Of the widening of
Third street.
The Street Committee referred the
petition of the Outdoor League that
action be taken to cause the removal of
all telegraph and telephone poles with
in the limits prescribed for under
STOunQ COnQulIS TO the department Oh
Electricity for investigation. The de-
partment is to make a report as to
whether the poles can be removed at
this time.
Mrs. Emma Merritt, executrix Of the
Sutro estate, and her attorney, z. W.
McKinstry. objected to the proposed
change of grades on j street west of
Fifth avenue. as recommended by the
Board of Public Works. The protestants
stated that the change would be detri-
mental to their property interests, and
the committee postponed action for one
week to see if some amicable UNDER
standing can be arrived at by the prop
erty owners.
The committee decided to make a
personal investigation of the petition
of the Raymond Granite Company to
construct a spur track in the PotTero,
and recommended that Clay street. be-
tween Franklin and Cough, be fully ac-
cepted. A personal investigation will
also be made of the petition of the
Haslett Company to maintain spur
track on Second and Townsend streets.

BOTKlN TRIAL
IS POSTPONED
Court Orders That Examina-
tion of Jurors to Retry Cele-
brated Case Begin Monday
DEFENDANT IN COURT
Accused Woman Shows De-
cided Increase of Avoirdu-
pOiS, but No Emotion

Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, once convicted
of killing Mrs. John P. Dunning by
sending a box of poisoned candy
through the mails. appeared in Judge
Carroll Cooks court yesterday morning
for a retrial of the case. During the
Branch County Jail Mrs. Botkin has
not wasted away. On the contrary,
her form. which never could have been
described as syIph-like, has increased
IL bulk.
The case was set for 10 o'clock yes
terday morning, but Judge, attorneys
and witnesses waited until IL o'clock
before the accused woman was ush-
cred into the courtroom. Her entry
was not like that of a condemned GRIM
inal about to make last stand for
liberty, but, neatly dressed in a close
fitting suit of black, with bunch of
violets pinned TO her bosom, she swept
through the courtroom and took seat
by her attorney, as miladi coming into
church with a new gown during the
middle of the sermon goes to her pew.
less and her eyes wandered furtively
from time to time toward the District
Attorneys desk and then at the motley
throng of curious sightseers who filled
the courtroom.
AS there are but thirty-two jurors
on the present panel ii was deemed
advisable TO augment the list, both
sides being satisfied that it would be
impossible to select twelve men from
such a small list District Attorney
Byington suggested that the Sheriff
summon a number of men suitable for
jury duty, but to this Attorney knight
for the defense, vigorously objected
stating that he had had experience with
such talesmen and found they were
too suitable
Judge Cook then ordered the County
Clerk to appear at the afternoon ses-
sion with the general jury box, as his
Yenire at present contains but thirty
two names and there is no possibility
of securing a trial jury in this case
from such a small list. One hundred
men were selected and will be notified
to appear tomorrow morning, wher
those who wish to be excused will have
an opportunity to be heard. The ac-
tual work of selecting jurors will be-
gin at 10 o'clock Monday morning and
viii probably occupy the greater por-
tion of the week

ARTISTIC AND HISTORIC
CREATION By A REDSKIN
Colonel j. W. Redington Lends Paint
ing by Bannack Warrior TO Hop
Ixfns Institute

As an art center San Francisco at
tracts some of the best work of some
of the best artists of all nations. And
now, as variation, it has acquired a
painting by the widest kind Of a wild
Indiana pioneer member of the war
ring Bannack tribe of Idaho now
named Old Man Who Walks -On-His-
Feet. He has accumulated that name
on account of having become so Grip
pied that he cannot sit a horse any
more. Having been shot all to pieces in
campaigns against both white and red
men, and not being able to engage in
any more horse stealing raids, he has
now taken up art.
His creation is a large war blanket
which he painted on common cotton
cloth. his colors being made with In
dian dyes, berry juices and the vermil-
lion with which Indians paint their
faces This war blanket has been lent
to Captain r. H. Fletcher, curator of
the Mark Hopkins Art Institute, in or
der that local artists may have an op-
portunity to examine and comment on
il, for it is an artistic curio. 1t was
brought to town by Colonel j. W. Red
Ills lOD VI 4aCOlllds us ONnCis WHO ndS
refused all sorts of offers for it and
would not swap it for the finest canvas
on any wall in the country.
In the war with Chief Joseph's Nez
Perces in 1877, during which that part
of the regular army stationed in the
Department of the Columbia pursued
the hostiles for more than 1900 miles
over the toughest parts of North Amer
lea, Colonel Redington served as a
scout under Captain Fletcher. who was
then in the regular army on General
Howard's staff Among the scouts was
a party of wild Bannack Indians under
Buffalo Horn, who came out to help
the whites clean up their red brethren
Of the Nez Perce tribe. These same
Bannacks went on the warpath against
the whites the next year and raided ali
over Idaho and Eastern Oregon.
The war blanket is really historic. 1t
represents a skirmish that actually
happened in the wild Yellowstone coun-
try during the Nez Perce war, when
the Bannacks tried to set the Nez
Perces afoot. but instead of stealing
the enemy's horses they lost most of
their own.
There are figures of more than 100
war horses and Indians in gaudy war
bonnets on this blanket. and the shapes
are really good, considering that the
Indian artist never saw such a thing as
an artists ''stretcher,'' but merely hung
his cotton canvas" on the tall sage
brush and the sides of his wickiup.
1t took him a year to complete the
picture, and he presented it to Colonel
Redington when the latter attended a
powwow and war dance of the Ban
nacks at the Fort Hall agency a few
years ago. The red man had not forgot
ten that the white boy used to divide
"hardtack" with him in the hungry
days at the front, when supplies had
run out and food was very scarce.
