WILL NOT TAKE
| COMMON DRUNKS
DR.. Stephen Says Police Use
Hospital for a Dumping
Ground for IntoXicants
~ oMN 9. Ao&

It would be wise for those who in
dulge in CHEEKY stimulants not to mis-
Judge their capacities until Chief Sur
geon Stephen and the police officials
can come to an agreement Is to the
proper place to keep beastly drunks
who have lost their senses for a time.
The first clash came early yesterday
morning when the police brought to
the Central Emergency Hospita. for
treatment George Henry who was
simply unconscious from the excessive
use of alcohol. Such is the diagnosis
of DR. Pinkham, who treated the man.
Henry was ordered sent TO the City
Hall station to, be locked up. Stewards
Mulally and Manville put their load of
human freight on the movable stretch
er and showed him into the station Office
to be booked for drunkenness. Cor
poral Callinan, who was in charge, re-
fused to accept him as a prisoner, say
ing that he would not take the re-
sponsibility, and he passed the matter
up to Lieutenant Colby.
Colby likewise refused to book the
man and the two stewards showed
Henry back to the hospital second
trip was made some time after in the
hope that they would take the prisoner
for a drunk, but again the police re-
fused TO take him.
When Henry regained part of his
senses the police were notified and they
then took him.
Some months ago Chief Surgeon
stephen issued orders to. his assist
ants that drunks must not be received
as patients. He says that at times the
beds which are for the use of others
are taken up by alcoholic patients and
that the police must cease making a.
dumping ground out of the hospital
He says it would be necessary to en-
large the hospital and put on another
attendant if this should continue He
also says the drunks are a menace TO
sick patients. They are usually dirty
and keep the patients awake.
The police station is no place for
sick people" says Lieutenant Colby,
and this is how the matter rests.

Gang of Hoodlums Steals
$12 From Henry Borrman
When He Sinks to Floor

A crowd of young toughs of the Hayes
Valley district yesterday afternoon badly
beat Henry Borrnan, proprietor Of sa-
loon and grocery at Cough and Fulton
streets. and then tapped the till of the
place for s12 Borrman was found lying
on the floor in an unconscious condition.
His wife was very i'll in an adjoining
room and the shock completely prostrated
her. The police are on the trail of three
oc the rowdies.
According to the story told by the sa-
loon man, 4 number of young fellows en-
tered his place Of business shortly before
o'clock. and after purchasing several
rounds of drinks proceeded to create a
rough house..
Borrman says he tried to quiet them,
but in the mix-up that followed he was
struck on the head with a large beer
glass and sank to the floor in an uncon-
scious condition. He was discovered by
a patron of the place and when an inves-
tigation was made it was found that the
hoodlun1s had broken open the cash reg
lister and taken $12, all the money 1t con-
tanned.
Borrman was treated at the Central
Emergency Hospital for a badly lacerate
scalp and possible fracture of the skull
He told the police that he recognized
George Swicker. Toby Bernstein and Dan
Hayes, three young men of the neighbor-
hood in the party that started the trou-
BILE in his saloon. Last night Detectives
Hostetter and kissane were detailed to
arrest the three men.

ONE-ACT MELODRAMA
SCORES AT ORPHEUM

The Orpheum programme has several
new features this week, which, with a
few of the holdovers, furnishes the
San Francisco amusement seekers with
ample material for an evenings enjoy
ment Ceci1e and Francois are failures
in their pretended potpourri of comedy
up to the time of their Loop the Loop

to display some creditable ability in
the character of an Arizona peace Of

opera skit, entitled THE Queens Fan"
in which Oriska Worden, Adele Archer
and Lucille Geirgi appear as an inter

1t remains. however. for Colonel Bor-
deverry, introduced as the king of

interest of the spectators with his
clever pistol stunts. He is unquestion-
ably one of the cleverest marksmen
that has ever appeared on the stage
and his performance is keenly appre

James Murphy Is Discovered
Unconscious and Suffering
From a Fractured Skull
DETECTIVES SIFT CASE
Conclude Oh Investigation
Man Was Thrown From
Wagon He Was Driving
DETECTIVES SIFT CASE

James Murphy, an old and respected
employe of the Geary Street Railroad
Company, living at 415 First avenue,
was found about s o'clock yesterday
morning lying in an unconscious state
on Fourth avenue near G street. F. A.
Brookbank, who discovered the man,
called for assistance and he was taken
to the Park Emergency Hospital. There
it was found that Murphy was suffer
ing from fracture of the base of the
skull. His family had him removed to
the French Hospital.
At first the relatives feared he had
been the, victim of foul play and es-
pecially as some youths he had haled
up to court for throwing rocks at his
house had. it is alleged, been heard to
threaten him harm. However. Detec-
tives D. Matheson, G. Mulcahey and G.
Gorham made a thorough investigation
of the neighborhood and concluded that
Murphy had been thrown from wagon
he was driving onto a pile of rocks. 1t
is very dark at the place where he was
discovered and it is surmised from the
wheel marks on the pile that the We
hicle was driven over the heap. The
accident must have occurred at mid
night, at which hour Murphy finished
his work at Fifth avenue and Fulton
street, and was on his way to put his
horse up for the night.
DR.. S. Cleary at late examination
of the patient last evening expressed
the probability of his recovery, though
the case appeared critical.
Murphy has been in the employ Of
the Geary Street Railroad Company for
twenty-Six years. He is a man Of
strictly sober habits and is highly
esteemed.

the criminal expeditions when no one else
was available
One of the first cases he took part in
was with his brother on October 13 of
last year. They held UP a. II. Guidice
in Lafayette Park, Just behind the high
school. Guidice was with a young lady
and the elder Crowhurst placed re-
volver under his nose while the younger
searched his pockets. All that they found
was 35 cents whereat the elder Crowhurst
became wrathy and searched the man a
second time himself. When no more
money materialized he said to Guidice,
You're cheap guy, anyway, to go out
with a girl with only 80 cents in your
pockets Guidice had a considerable
amount of money in an inside pocket
Another case that young Crowhurst has
confessed to is the holdup of a man by
the name of Goody, as nearly as he could
remember. This took place directly across
the street from County Clerk Cooks
house in East Oakland, and few dol
lars were obtained.
STORIES ALL AGREE.
All these stories told by young
Crowhurst agree with the stories told
by the others, except, as in
the case of the others. he shields
himself as much as possible. But
young Crowhurst exhibits more cool
ness than any of the others. with the
possible exception of Blaker. who has
not said word. He is more self-pos-
sessed than any Of the others. and tells
his story with more clearness and more
attention to detail.
So much for what has actually been
traced to the Jim Crow gang" AL
though without any direct evidence as
a basis, Sheriff Barnet strongly sus-
poets this gang responsible for the
death of Policeman George Brown,
who was shot to death on the evening
of December II last year This was
just at the time that the Jim Crow
gang" was operating most actively
and there is good reason to believe that
these desperate young criminals, who
would not stop at murder to get Cooks
5000. would not stop at the murder of
a policeman if they felt that they were
in danger.
There never has been any good de-
scription of the assailants of Brown,
and it is not likely that this case can
be fastened upon them unless they
should confess. But so many unex-
planned crimes have been connected
with this gang by their own confess
, sions that the Sheriffs Office is of the
opinion that could the whole truth be
obtained it would clear away the mys-
in addition to those of a score of rob-
berries, burglaries and hold-ups.
AS a general rule the Jim Crow
gang preferred a highway robbery or
some daring assault like that upon Mrs.
Nash in Berkeley. They seemed to
seek the more exciting exploits. They
have told the officers that they had be-
gun to think that they could not be de-
tected, and after period of quiet dur
ing the summer they had planned a Sc
ries of rcbberies for this winter. the
first of which waste be that of James
Miller. the pottery man.
The badge that each member wore is
cheap metal affair. but the boys had
the daring to have stamped upon each
badge the very name of the organiza-
ton, on each one being engraved the
words, Jim Crow Gang, Oak"
Accusation of murder will be placed
against Baker, Schneider and Penn
broke tomorrow, and charges of rob-
berry will be made against all five.
