Astonishment was plainly written on
Judge Kerrigan's face yesterday when
knight took the stand and testified

make living as mattress-maker. he
would prefer that his wife allow him
a portion Of the income of her little
furniture store at 69s Valencia street.

Police Judge TreadwelI
SHOUTS IN THE BATTLE
Corridors of City Hall Ring
With Cries of Amazonian
as She Bends to the Fray

Ex- Police Judge A. b. Treaowell
was upon the brink Of annihilation for
few minutes yesterday. Earl Pat
terson. fat lady wrestler at the Chutes,
struggled violently in the corridor out
side of Judge Kerrigan's court, after
she had been worsted in a case, to get
q strsngle hold on Treadwell, shout
ing a fierce battlecry the while. Tread
well was as pale as his natural swarthy
complexion would permit and his re-
lief was unbounded when corps Of
bailiffs finally persuaded the lady Her
cules to abandon her purpose.
"WheW, 1t looked like curtains Tor me
for 2 few minutes" said Treadwell
after the fair exponent of jiu jitsu lum-
bered down the corridor waving her
arms threateningly. I've seen her
'rastIe with that other fat woman at
the Chutes. and Earl generally throws
the other one clear to the rafters.
And she's there with the we1lop, too.
Close call for the Judge Guess yes"
Esrl's anger arose over the action
Of judge Treadweu as counsel for
Frank Sanchez. contesting EarPs ac-
count as guardian OF the estate OF
Young Sanchez. Treadwell was REIN
forced by Josephine Sanchez, Franks
sister. and between them they explain
ed that EarTs account was unfair, as
Il called for $500 of Franks $430 estate,
~and." they declared, Earl has done
nothing on earth TO entitle her to this
money. Why even the fees were re-
rastted by order of court and how on
earth she comes to be entitled TO $3.50
we can't see"
The court said he would consider
the matter carefully and then the Am
aEouian Earl. Judge Treadwen ana
Miss Sanchez walked out into the cor
ridor, where Esrl's wrath broke

So speaking GROSSLY she assumed a

Judge. Treadwel sidestepped and
round and round they went, Earl
shouting aloud the most shocking
or5iufon she held of the lawyer that
dared oppose her account Then Miss
Sanchez Joined in and the two women
engaged in a desperate wordy battle.
Finally a sufficient number Of bailiffs
arrived to render safe an effort to calm
Earl the fat lady wrestler, and after
srrveving the forces arrayed against
her she decided to go in peace.
Treadwell says he is willing to make

COURT SPEAKS PLAINLY

The action instituted by Thomas w.
O'Dowd and Martin O'Conor to oust
the board of trustees of the Free Pub
lie Library from Office was uncere-
moniously thrown out of court by
Judge Hebbard yesterday morning.
The court wrote an exhaustive opin-
position taken by Attorney Daniel
O'Connell to secure the relief sought,
but O'Connell was not convinced of the
error of his position and announced
that he would take the case to the Su-
premc Court. That Judge Hebbard
looked upon the suit as naught but a
political scheme is made plain by the
language of his decision. In part he
says:
Beyond any doubt plaintiffs seek alone to

reason visible In the complaint. They claim
that the charter OF this city and county.

VIII Examine Escapes.

Secretary Louis Levy of the Board
of Public Works has directed inspec-
tors of the bureau of buildings to ex-
anime the fire escapes of the various
buildings in this city, with view Of
discovering whether they have been
weakened by corrosion. 1t appears
that the Fire Department has called
attention to the fact that the salt air
has had tendency to rust the fire
escapes, and, at the suggestion of the
Chief of the Fire Department, the
Board of Public Works recommended
to the Supervisors that they amend the
ordinance and force all owners of
buildings on which there are fire
escapes to galvanize the same. The
ordinance is to be enforced by the
Board of Public Works and the Fire
Wardens of the city intend to CO.
operate with that department.
