Regret They Caused Arrest

A warrant was sworn out yesterday
by S. r. Jacobs on behalf of the San
Francisco Lodge No. of the Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows for the ar
rest of H.. c. Madigan. the recently ex-
PEELED noble grand. He is charged
with ~appropriating s12 80. and the
lodge members say the peculation
amounts to less than 800. After the
arrest Jacobs discovered that Madigan
is doing his best to make good the
money after having been sick. and now
the lodge is sorry that the arrest took
place. Several members scurried
around during the day to secure bonds
men so that Madigan may continue at
work.

RESENTS CRITICISM MADE
OF SOME ENGINEERING WORK
Woodward Asserts That Improper
Joining of Pavements Was Due to
CareIessness of Contractors.

City Engineer Woodward takes ex-
ception to the criticism made by the
Federation of Mission Improvement
Clubs that the engineering work for
the paving of the crossing of Vicks-
burg and Twenty fourth streets was
improperly done some ten years ago
resulting in the unlevel joining of the
pavements on the two streets. Wood
ward says that on April Is last he
called the attention of the Board OF
Works to the bad condition of the
pavement, which was due to the care
lessness of the contractors who per-
formed the work. 1t will be necessary
TO reconstruct a strip of the pavement
five feet in width. The fault, Wood
ward says. lies not with the official
grades as established, but to the negli-
gence of the contractors to conform to
the grades and the failure Of the in
spectors TO see that the work was
properly done at the time. Other pave
ments in similar condition will receive
the immediate attention of the engin-
eering department.

PENDANT pleaded not guilty. and against

he would apply for writ of prohibition
to the District Court Of Appeals and
would also take the case to the United
States Circuit Court on the question Of
jurisdiction, and If necessary to the
United States Supreme Court
The Judge delivered a long decision on
the points raised in the demurrer, chiefly
the one bearing on the courts jurisdic-
ton to try the case. The Judge held that
If bigamous marriage was consum-
mated in another State and the parties
to that marriage came to this State and
lived openly as husband and wife the
court had jurisdiction under the law. The
Judge held that the Indictment was SUI
ficient. and overruled the demurrer on
all of the grounds submitted. He said he
had been much aided by the briefs filed
in reaching his conclusions.
Collins promptly took exception to the
ruling of the court and said that as
basis for a writ of prohibition to the Dis
trict Court of Appeals he would call the
attention of the court to the defect In
the jurisdiction and 10 the other points
raised in his demurrer.
Attorney Hiram Johnson, special pros
ecutor, and District Attorney Byington
suggested that the defendant make his
plea. and when the case was set for trial
he could make his motion.
The Judge decided that the next step
would be to take the defendants plea,
and Collins thereupon moved that his ar
raignment be set aside, as the document
on which he was arraigned was not the
original Indictment The Judge denied the
motion.
Then 1 plead not guilty" said Collins.
land have to say that the charge Is alb
solutely and UNANIMOUSLY false"
Byington suggested that the case be set
for trial on June 26, but Collins objected.
as he had to subpoena numerous witnesses
and the time was too limited The Judge.
however, set the case for trial on June rs.
Collins again made his motion in regard
to the writ of prohibition. and the Judge
said he would take it under advisement.
Collins Immediately said he would with
draw the motion, as he did not wish to
obstruct the proceedings he intended to
institute.
The Judge then made an order appoint
ing Judge T. ]. Lennon to preside at the
trial.
