JURY WILL BE IMPAkELED
FOR MINNIE ADAMS TRIAL
Woman Accused of Poisoning Her Baby
Boy to Be Brought Into Court
This Morning.

The impaneling of jury for the sec
ond trial of Minnie Adams on a charge
OF murder will commence in Judge
Lawlor's court this morning. At the
first trial six years ago the jury
brought in a verdict of murder in the
first degree, with the penalty of i'm
prisonment for life. A motion for a
new trial was denied by Judge Lawlor
and an appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court. That court granted a
new trial on the ground that the jury
while considering the verdict was al
lowed to separate.
The prisoner was accused of causing
the death of her illegitimate son, John
Richard Gray, then years months
old, by compelling it to drink carbolic
acid at her fathers home, III Parker
avenue, on March 13. 1899. She was
arrested on information given by Will
son Gray, the father of the child, to
Captain Duke, who at that time was a
sergeant in that district. The trial
lasted over two weeks and on July 81
the jury brought in the verdict of MUIR
der in the first degree and on Septem-
Der 10 following sentence was passed
upon her. She has been in the Branch
County Jail since that time.

CHUTES HIGH DIVER
STRIKES TANK FLOOR
Loses Control of Himself in
Midair and Lands Oh
Back.

C. A. Bigney of 2S16 Golden Gate ave-
nue., engaged as high diver at the
Chutes, came near to death yesterday
afternoon while diving from seventy
five-foot height into shallow tank.
Bigney was treated at the Park Hospl-
tai for severe contusions and possible
internal injury. Thousands of terror
stricken people saw the diver leap into
the air, lose control of his body and
plunge on his back into the shallow
water. The athlete struck the cement
bottom of the tank with great force.
Bigney does his diving stunts regu-
larly at the Chutes. He says he was
slightly nervous yesterday. He climbed
to the high platform. and for moment
posed before the BREATH crowd.
Then he launched out into the air. For
half the distance he had smooth sailing.
Then suddenly, as he sought to throw
his head forward, he seemed to lose his
muscular control. His body struck the
water with q great splash and Bigney
sank to the bottom. He was rescued by
the Chutes attendants and conveyed to
the Park Hospital in a dazed condition.
DIR. Glover, who treated him, says that
he is not seriously hurt unless internal
injuries develop.

SLEUTHS WILL
Get MORE PAY

AS Mayor Schmitz has signed the
budget for the next fiscal year, which
includes an appropriation TO meet the
expense of increasing the detective
force from fifteen to twenty-five men,
in compliance with a provision of the
charter, much speculation is rife in the
department as to who the lucky ones
will be to receive the increased salary
of $50 per month. The appropriation
will take effect on July l. and Chief
Oman will in a few days announce the
names of the new detective sergeants
AS there have been rumors that some
men who are doing patrol duty, notably
Commissioner Reagan's son, would be
among the ten, the Chief was asked
yesterday if there was any truth in
the rumors. He replied that there was
no truth in them and that the ten men
would be selected from those who are
now doing detective duty. He added
that the names would not be given out
till shortly before July /.
There are ten men at police head
quarters doing detective duty who have
been drawing the pay of a patrolman.
They are s. V. Bunner. John B. Freel.

Duncan Matheson, G. F. Mulcahey. T.

r. NJ. Silvey, besides T. A. Atchison and

the Identification Bureau. There are
also ten men doing detective duty at
outside stations. They are T. T. Con-
lon and James MCGOWAN at the Har-
Dor station, James Regan and Patrick
OConnell, at the Southern station: R.
F. Graham and w. H. Harrison, at the
Seventeenth street station; James E.
Cottle and P. ]. Mitchell. at the City
Hall station. and H. c. Smith and
Joseph H. Gorham, at the Golden Gate
Park station That makes a total of
twenty-five from whom the ten will be
selected. The ten who are doing duty
at headquarters expect to be the lucky
ones, as they are under the immediate
supervision of Captain Burnett, the
others having to report to the cap
tain of their district. but some of them
will be disappointed. The Identification
Bureau is also under Captain Burnett's
supervision, and Atchison and Wolters
think they have as good a claim for
recognition as the other ten

Disagreement Over Payment

All Join to Fight Police
BAD FEELING EXISTS
Dissension Among Families
of Association Leads to
Some Very Serious Trouble

Trouble in the Ming Yung Chinese Asso-
citation last night over money matters
caused general riot among the Tum
and Fong families and the arrest Of four
members of the society. Fong You, in
spector Of the association; Hum Fie,
Fong Yup and Gung Yaw were arrested
and booked at the City Prison for assault
ing an officer and peace disturbance.
The row occurred at So yVaverly place,
where the meeting was held for the pur-
pose OF settling the payment of S205, al
legged to be due the Fong family, and
upon the refusal of the Turns to allow
the bill, Inspector You called in the high
binders tc force the collection. Over 200
Chinese defended their companies and all
joined to prevent the arrest of the men,
bers.
The hallway of the building was a surg
ing mob of murderous Chinese when
Officer Reade arrived and he was thrown
down the stairs several times before he
succeeded in reaching the top. Sergeant
Ross and posse dubbed their way to the
landing, but could only gather in four of
the fighters, the remainder making good
their escape.
There has been bad feeling between the
societies in Chinatown for some months
and the dissention has crept into the
families of the associations. Fong You,
an inspector or manager of the Fong
family. has much influence in his COM
pany, and as his is the stronger of the
two families the attempt at extortion OF
the money from the Turns was aided by
a majority of the meeting. The Turns
tried several times to come to a peace
able settlement of the difficulty, bat the
Fongs were insistent that the sum should
be paid. The fighting spirit
of the men was aroused at the Highlander
bluff of the Fongs and murder was mar
rowly averted by the appearance of the
