street saloon and her duties are to sell
beer at 81 per bottle. The strenuous
life she leads grated on her nerves
Wednesday night, and when a Gus
toner began TO make light of her oc-
cupation she threw a beer glass at
him. With the proverbial womans
aim she missed her intended mark and
landed heavily on w. j. O'Neill, who
was on the firing line, and cut deep
cash in his face.
O'Neill. who is employed as a ma
chinist at the Union Iron Works, had
no desire to prosecute, and Mary was
dismissed with an injunction to study
up on Rube WaddelI and the art of
cutting the corner Of the plate.
Samuel Bowen, who is a grocer in
Los Angeles, but who has no connec-
ton with Goldberg, Bowen & Co. of
this city, was before Judge Cabaniss
yesterday on two charges Of passing
fictitious checks. He admitted that he
had been on a "whiz'' that would put
an electric motor out Of business in
seven and three-quarter minutes.
Joe Poheim, the tailor, and W. A.
Roberts, a liquor dealer, who accepted
Bowen's paper to the amount of two
$40 checks, told the court that they
had no desire to prosecute. as the mat
ter had been settled. Accordingly
Bowen was allowed to journey back to
the southland.

terfiy who winged his way into the
Palace Hotel, signed the name of Jack

dered a $50 suit Of clothes from a cloth
ing house. The clothes were delivered
and Kruger wore them off, while
menial messenger awaited his coming
with payment for the raiment.
The police located the man in the at
tire and he was before Judge Fritz
yesterday. Lame excuses and previous
records were listened to and at the end

County Jail, where he can get clothes
for nothing, if need be.
Chris Miller was so busily engaged in
reading The Call bulletins of the Rus
So-JapaneSe war Wednesday night that
he forgot the eXpectorating ordinance.
Every time that an exclusive piece of
news came forth he took another chew
of tobacco and said, BY Gar, d-e-e-s
is de stuff" Then he spat plentifully
until the congregated crowd was in
danger of a flood.
Policeman Dan priscoll happened
along in time to keep the throng from
being overwhelmed by the yellow peril.
Judge Mogan dismissed Miller yester-
day on the ground that the superior
war news furnished by The Call was
an excuse for making any one forget
an ordinance.

INTERVENTION OF AMERICAN
WILL COST HlM,A SENTENCE
Judge ConIan FINDS Fred P. Scott Guilty for
Ba1tering a Russian in Argument Over the
War Question = Search for Sister Rebukec

According to the latest and most
reliable sources, drawn from the Po-
lice Court presided over by Judge
Conan, the Russo-Japanese war has
been interviewed" by America.
Wednesday night Fred p. Scott, who
claims descent from the commander
Of the United States forces at the bat
tie OF Vera Cruz, became involved in
an argument with Peter Vladivostok
Whitsb, a native Of the Nolga River
section and an ardent Russian.
What happened to Whitsk is really
too painful TO tell. He looked on riv-
ers of blood and he viewed the far
northern consultations. Sometimes
he grasped at shadowy forms Of loved
ones long lost and they slipped from
his hands. Ii was a frightful quarter
OF an hour.
When he awoke he was on neutral
ground in the saloon of A. Carlson. a
Swedish man. He was cared for like
a stricken soldier by the Red Cross
nurses, and Scott was Don Juan on
first base to aid the injured man.
There really was nothing but patriot
ism behind the assault
Whitski viewed himself yesterday
morning and concluded he had been
sadly abused. That is the first con-
clusion he would naturally come to
after he lamped around a bit. So he
swore out a warrant agaist Scott and
the case was before Judge Conlan yes
terday.
All would have been well for Scott
had 1t not been for a diminutive Jap,
who butted in Unexpectedly. Scott
testified that the Russian. in discuss
ing the war. had made remarks about
the Cnited States that an American
could not stand for reasonably. The
Russian was called to the stand and
said that he was not sure who hit him
and really couldn't identify his as
sailant. 1t came so suddeply, he said
that it was like the Russian warships
in the cold waters of Port Arthur
He was hull-up before he knew it.
Scott and Whitsk had evidently ar
ranged a protocol. Then along came
an intervenor in the person of Finna-
hashi Marrideorr, a Jap, who is al
lowed the high privilege of cleaning
out the saloon where the trouble Oc-
Cured. He testified that Scott was
the man who beat the Russian and
the witness thought Whitski got
merely what was coming. On this
testimony the Judge was compelled
TO find Scott guilty of battery and will
sentence him to-day. 1t is about a
one to six bet that the sentence will
be lightly laid.
Charles Hanlon, who was gathered
into custody for disturbing the peace,
was before Judge Mogan yesterday.
He was arrested because he approach
ed a number of women conferences in
front of the ferry building, and when
the groups broke UP he followed them
persistently.
He told the Judge that he was look
ing for a long-lost sister, who left her
happy home yeahs and yeahs ago."
He said he hoped TO find her among
the groups in front Of the ferry build
ing and his insistence in disturbing
punches Of women was due TO the fact
that he hoped to recognize his missing
relative The plea did not buy any
thing. and he was sentenced to three
months in the County Jail.
