The San Francisco call., 1905-08-05

simply tried to arouse the drowsy in
mates of, and thus obtain admittance to,
the house in which he has dwelt ever
since he came to this disappointing land.
In his own country there never is occa-
sion calling for the humping of a door.
because no man fears unwarranted inva-
sion Of his domicile.
In this country, however, every man
seems to be constantly guarding his
property from theft Mr. Sato would like
to add that in the Mikado's empire. even
If a man Of such respectable ensemble as
he presented did pound a door, no police
man would presume to stay his hand,
much less subject him TO the indignity of
arrest and Incarceration
ASK him how he cultivated that chin
appendage," said the Judge, gazing with
admiration, not unmixed with envy, at
the defendants abundant whisker crop.
He says responded the interpreter,
after a tedious exchange Of vernacular
with the defendant, that he is an Aino
from Northern Japan, where perpetual
snow exists and boards are grown and
nurtured to protect the throat from the
severe cold that exists almost throughout
the year. The faces of the women of that
region, he says, also are whiskered,
though less heavily than the men, and
tradition has it that a smooth-faced
female Aino is unbeloved Of the gods

then he continued the hearing in order to
afford Mr.. sato opportunity to rally
friends to his aid.
John Wallace laughingly declared that
for the life Of him he could not adduce
logical reason for the silly conduct al
legged against him by Patrolman Holmes
Il think L was born a cut-up," he
chuckled, "for 1 have been a cut-up as
long as L can remember"
The "cuttingup" for which Mr.. Wal
lace was arrested occurred on Kearny
street, and consisted of his absurd whirl-
ing Of a revolvable stand upon which
boots and shoes were displayed at the
door Of dealer in those useful articles of
merchandise.
Gee, folks, Just see 'er gor he glee-
fully shouted as he spun the rack until
its velocity made the footgear upon it
almost indistinguishable. "Aint she
bute?" he asked the amused onlookers.
When the owner of the impromptu play
thing expostulated he was hilariously in
suited by Mr.. Wallace, and it was for
that feature Of the entertainment that
Judge Fritz imposed a fine of IS, which
was paid.
James Rogers, a building contractor,

Charles Johnson's apartment at II
Fourth street and stole therefrom a
gold watch and chain and 81 so cash;
but he is inclined to believe that he
never committed the alleged offense at
all Mr.. Johnson and Patrolman T. F.
Flood, however. are pretty positive that
Mr.. Rogers did perpetrate said burg
larry, and Judge Fritz has set the hear
ing of the charge for next Wednesday,

Robert Kennedy was asleep in his
room, at Brady street, the hour be-
ing 2 a. m, when a noise awakened
him, and in the semi darkness he dimly
perceived a man searching the pockets
of the pantaloons which he (Afr. K.)
had doffed before he retired. He in
stantly leaped from his couch, but not
quickly enough to capture the visitor,
who fed and escaped immediate cap
ture, but not probable Identification, as
Mr Kennedy swears he recognized him
as Patrick Foley.
When arrested by Patrolman w. Y.
Douglass a few hours later, Mr.. Foley
denied Mr.. Kennedy's accusation, and
Judge Conlan has continued the case in
order to afford him opportunity TO
prove an alibi, which he processes abil-
ity to do. The plunder abstracted from
Mr.. Kennedy's trousers consisted of
one package of tobacco and ninety
cents.
Judge Fritz dismissed the peace dis
turbance charge on which Thomas
Acosta, an instrumentalist of the Mexi-
can Band, was arrested on complaint of
Mrs. L. Marquis of 1927 Powell street,
where his wire and two children reside.
The Acostas are parties to a divorce
suit pending before Superior Judge
Sloss. and when the husband claimed
right to possess the younger child, a
baby, the wife exhibited what she al
legged was an order of court awarding
the infant to her custody. Soon after
ward the husband ascertained that no
such order had been issued, and last
sunday he forcibly carried away the
little one to his home in South San
Francisco, whereupon Mrs. Marquis,
doubtless instigated by Mrs. Acosta,
had him arrested for peace disturbance.
