The San Francisco call., 1904-03-27

Robert Sieke. master of the sturdy
tugboat Milton. failed to show good
cause why he should not contribute to
the support of his two minor children,
and Judge CabaniSs ordered him to-
pay their mother SIS a month until
they are able to provide for themselves.
1t was a pitiful tale that the mother,
Mrs. Adie Sieke of 201 Langton street,
told the Judge. When she was di-
vorced from Sieke two years ago the
court awarded her the custody of the
children, now aged six and eight years,
respectively, and she worked to keep
them and herself alive until her health
broke down and she was incapacitated
for toll. Her two brothers and a sister
kept the wolf from her door until one
brother died. another went East and
she adopted the advice of well wish
ing neighbors, gulped her pride for her
children's sake and applied to the
court to compel their father to help
her feed and clothe them.
In defense of his conduct Sieke
pleaded that he married again and is
the father of a third child and that
his salary of $65 a month is barely
adequate to keep his second family
from want. To which the Judge re-
torted that no man has a right to un-
dertake the responsibility of maintain
ing a second family until he has in
sured the offspring of his first mar
riage from becoming paupers.

The next case" said Clerk Gray to
Judge Mogan, lis that of James Ed
ward"
Every one in court started, every
neck craned and every eye was leveled
at the disheveled contents of the
prisoners pen. An awed murmur, in
which Britt" was clearly distinguish
able, waited over the auditorium.
Hey? What's that? James Ed
ward what?" exclaimed the Judge,
eagerly scanning the equT.ly eager
countenances in the pen
James Edward nothing-just James
Edward, that's ALL" was the clerk s
somewhat tart reply.
Bailiff Hickey started the gusty sigh
OF relif that displaced the expectant
manner.
James Edward pleaded guilty to the
charge of keeping a lottery shop and
the Judge postponed sentence till next
Wednesday. The arrest was made by
Officers Regan and O'Connor.

Because he asserted that he did not
smoke cigarettes, Henry McAlpine. a
lanky and sallow youth, was ACQUITTED
of the charge of playing ball without
bat on Fifth street. When the charge
had been rammed home by Policeman
Whelton and the defendant had de-
chned to dispute it. Judge Mogan
scanned him with critical eye and then
inquired:
How many cigarettes per diem do
you burn?"
'NarN one" was the reply; never
smoked Gig since was born"
'Sure?"
'tHopermaydie If I did"
"That evidence is so strongly in your
favor that l must acquit you of the less
serious offense," was the courts rul-
ing.

A yellow cat Unexpectedly crept into
the testimony at the third hearing of
the Travers- -Helbush case before Judge
Mogan yesterday morning and for
while threatened to upset the prose-
cution's original theory, force adoption
OF new line Of defense and necessi-
tate indefinite prolongation of the al
ready tedious dispute. Calamity was
averted, however, by the retirement of
the saffron-hued intruder as suddenly
as 1t had been introduced. There seem
ed to be implied understanding be-
tween the court and the attorneys that
the animals temperance must be pre-
vented at all hazards.
Richard Travers OF 10 Second ave-
nue., Richmond District, accused Spe-
cial Policeman Fred Helbush, his next
door neighbor, OF having malic.ously
perforated the basement walls OF the
Travers domicile with bullets fired from
a revolver. Helbush denied the charge,
and his wife was called to substan-
tiate the denial. She 1t was who men
toned the cat In the Helbush home
dwelt young man boarder, she said,
and he had often complained to her
Of nocturnal serenades by the cat which
nao murdered his sleep, because he was
young man OF nervous temperament.
She had not heard any shots fired at
any time from any part OF her house,
and she just submitted the fact that
the young man had complained of the
caterwauling because il might serve
to throw light upon any shooting that
might have taken place without her
knowledge.
Other witnesses testified for the de-
fense, and most Of their testimony was
apparently directed to the end of show
ing unreasonable antipathy OF the COM
plainant toward-the defendant, as
shown by the formers objection to the
latter's erection and maintenance of a
pigeon house in proximity to the Trav-
ers residence. The exact distance of
the pigeon house from the Travers
house was variously estimated by the
witnesses, and for half an hour or more
the attorneys wrangled over it. In
the course of his perfervid pleading one
of the lawyers inquired if the pigeon
house was ''disattached." and then
amended his English by asking if it
was "nontouching" the premises of the
complainant.
In evident dread that the yellow dis
turber of the nervous young lodger's
slumbers might be resurrected in the
heat Of legal debate, his Honor con-
tinued the case another week, advis-
ing the disputants to dwell in peace
during that period and forever after
ward.

OUAY'S INDIAN FRIENDS.
Late Senator'S Experience with
Seminole Chief.

Late Senator'S Experience with n
Seminole Chief.
Among the red men the late Senator
Matthew 8. Quay had some very firm
friendships, says the Washington Post.
Near his lodge in Florida there was an
unconquered remnant OF the Seminoles,
between whom and the Pennsylvania
senator there had sprung up warm
intimacy.
On one occasion he sent one of the
unconquered Seminoles, who was suf-
fering from a cancer, 10 hospital at
Jacksonville and kept him there, pay
Ing all bills for a year.
The chief OF those Indians was a
man OF great dignity and character.
Just before starting on a trip to the
sunny lands Senator Quay purchased
q beautiful silver mounted rifle, intend
ed as a gift to this chief, who, to his
surprise, refused TO accept II.
II cannot take any gifts from white
men," was the big chiefs gruff reply.
But IL is a present / brought YOU"
rejoined the senator.
II will buy IT," said the chief.
Il am not selling rifles" replied Mr.
Quay. 81 want to give this TO you"
The upshot of the parley was that
the chief refused, but later brought
around young Indian buck, 10 whom
the chief wished the rife might be
sold. Mr.. Quay resisted that, but IL
ended by his selling the silver mounted
rifle to the Indian chiefs favorite for 81.

TO LOCATE FRACTURES.
Use Proposed by n Chicago Surgeon
For Tuning Forks.

Use Proposed by n Chicago Surgeon
For Tuning Forks.
A very simple method OF locating
fractures in bones. particularly In long
ones, by the aid OF tuning fork, Is
proposed by a Chicago surgeon, says
Golfers Weekly.
A stethoscope is placed over the bone
as near as possible 10 the point OF sus-
pected fracture and on the side where
the skin is thinnest. Then a vibrating
tuning fork is placed against the flesh
near the bone, but on the other side of
the fracture IL possible II the bone is
continuous, distinct clear sound will
be heard in the stethoscope, but II the
break is between the two, this sound
VIII be faint and Irregular as the VI
brations will not be transmitted past
the break.
or course this method depends upon
the fact that hard bone is an excellent
conductor OK vibration, while tissue is
not. Perhaps even a more valuable
application OF this idea would be IN
finding out when a break has knitted
properly, for when the joining is again
perfect the sound will be as clear as
that Of an unbroken bone.
