AGED MAN is DETECTED
STEALING MAIL NATTER
Has no Use for the Public Library and
Prefers Real Estate Fiction
SariaIS.

For some time frequent complaints
have been made to the postoffice in
spectors that pamphlets, circulars
and magazines were being stolen from
private letter boxes after having been
placed there by the mail carriers. The
matter was put in the hands of Post
Office Inspector James OsConnell and
Clerk R. H. Morse and watch was
set. Yesterday morning they detected
an old man taking real estate circu-
lars and a pamphlet of the Woodmen
of the World from a letter box in the
hallway of 231 Post street.
The man was arrested and gave his
name as Constant Marchand. Mar
chand is rs years of age. He said
that he had taken the real estate cir
cular and the pamphlet for the pur-
pose of reading them. He was charged
with having embezzled mail matter
before it had been delivered to the
person to whom it was directed. 1t is
expected that Marchand will plead
guilty.

BATHINC.HOUSES
ARE DEMANDED
Committee Asks Park Board
to Forbid Half-Dressed
Bathers Use of the Beach
TO STOP BIRD KILLING
Commissioners Offer Fifty
Dollars Reward for Con-
viction of Depredators

At a meeting of the Park Commits
Commissioner Reuben H. Lloyds Of
fee, a committee from the Oceanside
Improvement Club presented a long
list of grievances. The members of
the committee seemed somewhat at
variance over the different reforms re-
quired, but all agreed that the actions
of half-nude bathers on the beach
were offensive and scandalous. One
of the committee said that the bathers
seemed TO take a pride in displaying
their shapely anatomies for the de-
lectation of their admiring friends.
They asked the board to place a po-
liceman on the beach to prevent this.
w. L. Harper, who had already
asked the Commissioners for permis-
sion to erect bathing-houses on the
beach, then requested that the Com
missioners themselves erect bath
houses. Commissioner Lloyd replied
that the Commissioners had asked for
funds with which to do this, but had
failed to obtain an appropriation.
Complaint was also made that de-
spite the notice of the Commissioners,
automobiles still continued to "scorch"
along the ocean boulevard. The i'm
provement club was told that if it
would hire and pay for a special man
the Commissioners would procure him
a permit to arrest such offenders.
They also said the official would be
empowered to arrest any semi-clad
bathers along the beach. The club
made the following requests: That an
entrance to the park at Forty-seventh
avenue be constructed; that more
lights be placed along the boulevard
and that picnic parties be prevented
from littering the sand dunes and
beach with papers and refuse. These
requests were taken under advisement.
The Point Lobos Improvement Club
asked that Mountain Lake Park in the
Richmond district be improved and
that the destruction of birds be
stopped. This, together with the re-
peated killing of quail in Golden Gate
Park, led to a vote that notices be
posted in all the parks offering a re-
ward of $50 for the arrest and convic-
ton of any person trapping, manning
or killing any bird or animal in any of
the parks.
Petition was made that the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the improvement
of Dolores street, from Fifteenth to
Sixteenth, be used by the Park Com
missioners. This appropriation was
made by the Supervisors. but the
money was tied up. The residents pc
tition the Commissioners to take
charge so that the work, which has for
its object the Identification of the Mis-
sion Dolores neighborhood, may be
completed. The commission will call
for plans for the work.
The peddlers are still seeking to
gain admission TO the beach. They
claim that the Park Commissioners
have no jurisdiction over the strip of
sand between the boulevard and the
ocean. William r. Hewitt, Chief of
the Department of Electricity, who
was the original surveyor. testified that
his survey made no dividing line be-
tween the highway and the ocean.
Judge Mpgan has the case under ad-
ViSement.

Relieves Troubled OmciaIs.

When the Supreme Court handed
down a decision freeing Nolberto Cor
onado from a murder charge it was
ruled that the demurrer should be sus-
tained. AS there was no demurrer in
the case the officials of Santa Clara
County were much perplexed. The
court yesterday issued another order
directing the trial Judge to dismiss
the information as previously decreed
and to disregard the mention of de-
murrer. Coronado will be rearrested
on new complaint and new infor-
nation will be filed. 1t was not stated
in the first instance that his victim was
a human being and the court holds
that such an allegation is necessary.

SAYS DENTISTRY LAWS
ARE CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Sustains Action of
Dental Examiners in Refusing
IN Grant Licenses

TO Grant Licenses.
The Supreme Court has decided that
the dentistry laws are constitutional.
Henceforth the Board of Dental Ex
aminers will have all the power it has
claimed in the issuance of licenses to
prc~tice The arguments of the un-
licensed dentists that the laws were
discriminatory are shown to be inap-
plicable The contest was instituted
by those who could not get licenses
from the State board. The matter
was carried to the Supreme Court on
a petition for a writ of habeas corpus
in favor of c. II. Whitley, who was ar
rested for practicing dentistry without
a license.
The court holds that while the law
gives the Board of Dental Examiners
great power, the Legislature has the
right to impose such restrictions as it
may choose when the public welfare
and health is involved. Dentists who
were practicing prior to the passage
of the act and those who are grad
uated from schools of recognized
standing may secure licenses under the
law at the will of the board.

RAILROAD NEWS
SPRINGS A new ONE
Young HoIIander Teaches Rail.
road Men Something

c. NJ. Heye Won Kroonenburgh. of
Holland. called on the Great Northern
road yesterday on his way westward.
MI. kroonenburgh wanted some trans
portation and he got it. He told the
officials that he was getting out pub
hcation describing travel in America
and wanted to have look at the terri
tory traversed by the railroad before
he started homeWard
The officials were somewhat doubt
ful, but Mr.. Kroonenburgh clinched
matters in his favor by flashing a big
book in which he had pasted and
classified passes from nearly every big
road in the northern part of the United
States.
That fixed it and he got his pass.
Then one of the officials thought it
rather strange that none of the trip
passes had been taken up by the con-
ductors at the points named as ter
minals Of the various tickets, and he
asked the Hollander how he happened
to have the passes in the book when
by rights they should be in the offices
of the auditors of accounts of the vari-
Gus roads,
Kroonenburgh was somewhat sur
prised at the question, but finally adj
mitted that he realized the value of
just such a flash as he had accumu-
lated and had taken the precaution to
leave the trains the station before the
passes would have been taken up.
Then he paid his fare on the next local
train and the stub of the pass was his.
The young man was extended an
ovation as he left the Office and an in
formal vote of thanks was rendered
him for showing the officials a brand
new wrinkle in the transportation line.
