GRAND JURY
AFTER LEVY
Objects to His Methods of
Caring for Corporation
Yard" Carriage Receipts
TREASURER is IGNORED
Inquisitors Insist Munich
pal Funds Shall ALI Go
Through Usual Channel

The business methods of the "cor-
pOration yard" which is under the
control of the Department of Public
Works, are being inquired into by the
Grand Jury. and the matter will prob
ably receive attention at its session
this afternoon.
A considerable amount of property
found obstructing public thorough
fares is gathered up every month by
the department and stored at the cor
poration yard until the owner redeems
it. He is compelled TO pay the cost
of carriage. In these transactions the
moneys do not pass through the city
treasury. The grand jurors declare
that municipal employees should not
handle any funds except through the
usual medium of the City and County
Auditor and the Treasurer.
Expert Young also discovered that
Morris Levy, secretary to the Public
Works Commission, has had 500 in
his possession for year that was col
lected at the corporation yard. but
was never turned into the treasury.
1t appears that property which a POI
liceman had ordered off the street re-
manned at the yard for long time
without claim for 1t by it's owner. A
purchaser was found who put up a de-
posit of S100. He regretted his bar
forfeited. But to whom it was for>
fe1ted no one seems to know. 1t is
explained that there is no provision
for turning such money into the city's
treasury and that Levy has simply
kept it because he did not know what
to do with it.
The Grand Jury has ideas of its
own in the matter, however, and is
giving the case a thorough investiga-
ton. Secretary Levy also has on hand
$40, surplus of collections for carriage
of the dry goods boxes. scrap iron and
the like that were summarily hauled
off the street. Those who redeem their
property are mulcted in a slight
amount for the purpose of raising a
fund with which to pay for hauling
the loads that are not redeemed.
The Grand Jury is working on the
theory that the secretary has no right
to arrOgate to himself the authority
to handle funds on his own RESPONSE
bility that are received in the course
of municipal business.
Public Works Commissioners Mae
stretti, Eagan and Aigeltinger were
before a committee of grand Jurors
yesterday. District Attorney Bying-
ton, who was present. insisted that
the plan of having city funds handled
by a secretary and not through the
Auditor and the Treasurer was highly
improper and pointed out that the
Bond and Warrant Clerk in his office
must turn bail moneys over to the
Treasurer, although they may be re-
paid within a few hours.

NO MORE HOPE

Circuit Court of Appeals
Says Testimony Shows

Walter N. Dimmicks last appeal
from the judgment of the United
states District Court convicting him
OF the theft of $4,000 from the
United States Mint was dismissed yes
terday by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. In passing upon
the case the appeal court said:
There is ample testimony given at the trial
lenuihg TO show that the money of the Gov
ernment was stolen from the Mint and that
Dimmick was the person who committed the

as to the credibility of the witnesses
Tor the Government the court said:
The rule is well settled that the credibility

Court cannot weigh the evidence The only
question before the court is whether there is
any legal evidence to sustain the verdict.
Dimmick is serving an eight years
sentence at San Quentin
The court also sustained the ver-
dict or the jury in the United States
circuit Court awarding $4,000 dam
ages TO Samuel c. Pierce for bodily
INJURIES received while working under
ground in the mine of the Mountain
copper Company, Limited. The appeal
court used this language:
Inc law. in our opinion, made it the duty OF
the plaintiff in error TO inform the defendant
OF the collar and set screws. and how to per-
form the dangerous task before sending or
permitting him in the course of his employ
ment to undertake it. He was not IA
miiiar with machinery. True it is
that Pierce knew it was dangerous to approach
a smart belt or other machinery in motion,
nevertheless it is the duty of the master be-
Iore sending or permitting an inexperienced
employe to perform such dangerous work to
instruct him how to perform it, and especially
TO INFORM him of any hidden, concealed or OBJ
scure danger.
Judgment of the lower court was
affirmed in the cases of William Baen
Ewing, convicted of using the post
Office to further scheme to defraud.
and Wong Din, convicted with Dasha
and Dempsey of conspiracy to land
Chinese illegally.

o'clock yesterday morning. Strange to
relate not one of the eggs was
smashed during the arrest, which was
not affected without some resistance,
and the absence of breakage inclined
the policeman to believe that his pris-

and slowing fragile plunder.

AGED BURGLAR
BEHIND BARS
Henry Cook Arrested While
Making Attempt to Break
Into an Apartment House
LOOKING UP HIS RECORD
Two Watches Found on the
Prisoner Are Identified
by r. ID. Burtis, the Owner

One of the burglars who has been
operating in the Western Addition was
arrested early yesterday morning by
Policeman z. j. Plume as he was at
tempting to break into an apartment
house at 1898 Post street. Plume took
him TO the City Prison, where he gave
the name Of Henry Cook. When
searched two gold watches. two nickel
watches and some skeleton KEYS were
found in his pockets. He was locked
up pending developments.
A few hours later r. D. Burtis.
clerk in the freight auditors office OF
the Southern Pacific Company. report
ed to the police that his residence at
S13 Webster street was entered by a
burglar about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. His wife was awakened by
the noise Of some one moving about
the house. A gold watch and a nickel
watch were stolen from a jewel box.
Burtis was shown the watches found
in Cooks possession and he identified
two of them as the ones stolen from
him.
The prisoner is between so and 20
years of age. The police are under the
impression that he is an old-timer at
the burglary business. Detective Ser
geant cambridge of the Identification
bureau has been unable so far to place
him. but a careful examination of the
''rogues' gallery" win be made in the
hope that the prisoners photograph
may be recognized there.
Cook tells a story that two men
were fighting on the street and before
commencing the battle each handed
him his watch to keep. During the
progress of the fight policeman ap-
peared and they ran away in different
directions

forming the top layer in an open box
that stood in the store, and then they
laid in wait. Almost the first per-
son to enter the store yesterday was
Mr.. Sweeney, and he was given clear
field for larceny by Mr.. Dickman, who
for that purpose retired to rear
apartment, but the eagle eye of the
policeman was riveted on the visitor
When the eighteenth egg, marked r.
anP SO entered as an exhibit, was
transferred from the box to the hip
pocket Of Mr.. Sweeney's pantaloons,
the arrest was made. For obvious rea-
son the policeman's search of his
prisoner was not conducted with any
rudeness usually exercised in that pro-
cess. The most intrepid law guardian
would hesitate to plunge his hand into
a pocketful of scrambled eggs.
In the court of Judge Mogan the
defendant acknowledged that the
eighteen eggs were found on his per-
son, but he denied having stolen them
and declared they had been given to
him by his mother-in-law. The al
phabetical marks would not down,
however, and finally Mr.. Sweeney
pleaded guilty as charged. He will be
sentenced for petty larceny.
Frank J. Harris, accused of steal
ing a typewriting machine from the
headquarters OF the Building Trades
Council, 927 Market street, was sent
by Judge Cabaniss to answer a grand
larceny charge in the Superior Court.
From the North End Music Hall to
the court of Judge Mogan was con-
veyed the information that Miss Eva
Dimples, soprano serio-comic, ac-
cused of having waylaid and Battered
Miss Alice Wainwright, clog and soft
shoe danseuse, was suffering from
nervous prostration and unable to ap-
pear either in the tribunal or upon
the stage. AS the understudy who
took Miss Dimples' place on the North
End programme could not reasonably
be expected to act as her substitute on
the court calendar also the case was
continued until March /.
Mrs. Bella Pettigrew's charge of
battery against her husband, Andrew
j., a marine fireman, was dismissed
by the same magistrate after Patrol
man Heinrichs testified that to him
she confessed marital infidelity. The
Pettigrews keep a lodging house at 13
Hawthorne street and the husband,
suspicious of the wife's fealty to him,
waited and watched until he was con-
vinced of her guilt. When he burst
in one door of her apartment at 4:30
o'clock yesterday morning one James
O'Brien, a lodger in the house, fed
through another exit. 1t was for tap

Mrs Julia Ileo of 323 Montgomery
avenue averred that her new hat was
worth $50 of any ladys money ere it
was violently plucked from her head
by Mrs. Amelia Buzier, but the treat
ment to which it was subjected by the
angered -despoiler ruined its shape and
irreparably ruff1ed its plumage. Mrs
Buzier, who was charged with battery
by Mrs. leo. laughed the complain
ants appraisement to scorn and called
Mrs. Annie Eremita, millinery ex-
pert, to justify the sneering disclaimer.
Mrs. Eremita said that the original
cost of the hat did not exceed SO and
that the feathers added to it by Mrs.
Ileo were few and of inferior quality
and did not elevate the total value of
the headgear to more than SIS, which
sum, indeed. would be difficult to OBJ
tain for it at this. time, when new
style casters are mostly in demand.
Judge Cabaniss is giving himself am
pie time to determine just to what ex,
