Superior Judge Frank Dunno caused
SURPRISE to put it mildly, yesterday
afternoon after the jury in the case of
sGeorge Curry. charged with the murder
of his wife, Daisy Curry. handed in a
verdict of nanslaughter Judge Dunno
seemed astonished when the foreman
read the findings. and for moment
hesitated as If pondering on the strange
trend of human opinion that in this
particular case appears to have been
decidedly opposite to his judicial views.
His Honor. whirled about in his chair,
and, addressing District Attorney By
ington, gave vent to the expressions
that are quoted above. Mr.. Byington
was startled and puzzled, but in few
moments recovered sufficiently to re-
ply in a way that showed that, while
he hardly expected so sensational
statement from the bench. he was new
ertheless strongly inclined to support
the Judge in his criticisms.
The trial of Curry began shortly af-
ter his arrest for the murder of his
wife. When he was held at the County
Jail pending a decision three of the jail
ers-Finnegan, yFeehan and Sullivan
gave testimony that the prisoner was
subject to fainting spells. and this gave
rise to a defense of insanity. A great
deal of testimony was taken which
tended to show that on July g.. 1904.
Curry shot and killed his wife at 80
Turk street, after a quarrel. The pair
were married in Oakland six months
pior to the crime. 1t was said that
they had lived together before the mar
riage ceremony was performed. Curry
said his wife deserted him for a man
named Fred and that on the daysof
the shooting he had discovered evidence
of her unfaithfulness.

JAMES II. HARE BACK

James II. Hare, the famous war
photographer, who, as Golfers rep
resentative with the Japanese army,
has seen probably more of the fight
ing in the Far East than any other
civilian, returned yesterday on the
liner Coptic. With the aid of his
camera Hare has done more than all
the correspondents to convey to the
outside world some adequate idea Of
the great Oriental drama through the
most stirring scenes of which he
passed.
Hare was assigned to the first army
and followed its fortunes from April
until December 81. He had the
good fortune to be in many engage
ments and the nerve to get more than
good fortune, he says, deserted him
at the last moment. When things
ceased to stir in Manchuria he pro-
ceeded to Port Arthur, hoping to pho
tograph the scenes attending the fall
and evacuation of that fortress. He
waited patiently. On December 81.
after a heart-to-heart talk with the
charge of the siege, he came to the
conclusion that Port Arthur's fall was
still far away. He packed up his
cameras and other paraphernalia and
started for Dalny, on his way home.
The day after he left the first nego
tiations for surrender took place and
January 2 the siege was all over.
And when. heard it, said Hare,
Il felt more like blubbering than /

two other correspondents, saved the
life of a Russian soldier on the bat

usual circumstances. 1t was three

lining heap of dead Russians piled
in a trench. One big Slav, his skin
shriveled tight on his shrunk features,
attracted their particular attention as
he lay in the full glare of the blazing
sun. A bullet had plowed a deep fur
row across the top of his head and the
blood-stained face presented a pecu-
liarly CHASTITY appearance.
Fascinated by the horror OF it, the
three men stared at the soldiers face.
Suddenly an eyelid seemed to move.
He's alive" said one of the news
paper men.
Nonsense" said the Japanese Of
ficer. He has been lying in that heap
and under that sun for three days. If
he had been a well man when he lay
down the sun would have killed him.

Chronicle. Dead men do not bat
their eyelids. Let's take another look
at him.
Two Chinese servants were ordered
to pull the body away from the pile

Harris Contempt Submitted.

fort of the Nevada Mining and Mill

the order on the ground that he is a

burglars and blew police whistle,
which, however, brought no response
Goodmanson. who is suffering from
rheumatism and sleeps lightly. arose
about o'clock to get a drink. The
faucet is near the window and glancing
out he saw three men acting suspi-
ciously in front of the Holm grocery.
While he was watching, a wagon.
drawn by a dark horse. was driven
down Hyde street and turned into
Turk, passing the store. AS the wagon
ratified by the men on the sidewalk

front door, The sound of falling glass
was drowned by the noise of the wagon
Awaiting developments Goodmanson
continued to watch the three. One man
dressed in long overcoat and soft hat
and carrying white bundle under his
arm stood on the street corner to act
as lookout" The other two, who ap-
peared to be young men, moved toward
the door.
The wagon, which had evidently been
driven around the block, now reap
peared and stopped before the grocery.
One of the young men entered the shop
and Goodmanson ran for his police
whistle. AS he returned the man inside
handed something to the one outside.
who in turn handed it to the lookout.
At that moment Goodmanson blew a
long blast on the whistle; the man in
the wagon whipped up, and the three
men on foot moved rapidly up Hyde
street and disappeared.
After blowing for several minutes
and getting no response GoOdmansOn
returned to bed, and the grocery with
the shattered door lay exposed to fur

rived in the morning. The police re-
ceived report of the affair yesterday

The prosecution showed that when
the wife drew away from Curry, pre-
Sumably when he attempted to KISS
her, he lost his temper, drew pistol
and fired the four shots which caused
her death. They alleged that the shoot

SCHOOL INCOME
IS ENDANGERED
Supervisors to Confer With
Merchants Association on
Proposed Apportionment
WILL OPPOSE MEASURE
Meeting Is Arranged for To-
Day to Present City's Case
to the State Legislature
WILL OPPOSE MEASURE

The Supervisors Finance Commit
ace held a special meeting yesterday
OH the bill which is now before the
second reading, amending the State
apportionment for the support of pub
lie schools. This will result in a. loss
of about $250,000 in the school reve-
nue. of San Francisco. 1t syas shown
that this city contributes one-third of
the taxes for the conduct of the
schools of the State and yet receives
only one-fourth in return for its own
schools.
The apportionment is to be made
in the interest of the poorer school
districts. The rural legislators are
unanimously in favor of the bill, and
Governor Pardee, it was said, will sign
1t If it passes, as it undoubtedly will.
unless this city makes proper effort to
protect its interests.
One plan suggested yesterday. but
not adopted, was for the Board of Su-
pervisors to establish eighty school
districts in this city. This would only
result in an increase of $25 900 in the
school funds, leaving still shortage
of s225,000.
The committee deemed 1t advisable
to interest the Merchants Associa-
ton and other civic organizations for
the purpose of presenting data to the
Legislature in opposition to the meas
ure. 1t was arranged by telephone for
committee from the Merchants As
scciatfOn to meet the Finance Commit
tee this afternoon at the City Hall at
2 o'clock, when a plan of campaign
will be definitely agreed upon.
Other bills affecting the municipal
affairs of San Francisco will also be
discussed, including the one to double
the force in the Fire Department,
which, the Finance Committee says,
will cost the city 100000 yearly.

HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM BEING SHOT
Oliver Sands, Manufacturing Chemist,
Fires Twice at Max Dunow In
the Press Saloon.

Max Dunow. bartender at the Press
saloon, Is Third street, was shot at
twice yesterday morning by Oliver
Sands. a manufacturing chemist living
at the Graystone Hotel on Geary
street. Both bullets narrowly missed
Dunow. Sands was arrested and
booked at the City Prison on charge
of assault to murder.
Dunow told the police that Sands
had been in the saloon twice before
during the morning and as he had
been drinking Dunow refused to give
him any more liquor. This angered
Sands and he left the saloon mutter-
ing to himself. When he returned
about s o'clock he pulled a. revolver
out of his overcoat pocket and de-
Iiher.telv fired at Dunow. The first
bullet grazed Dunow's head and
struck the mirror behind. Sands
fired again, but his aim was unsteady
and the bullet struck a glass on the
bar. Sands was arrested at Third and
Market streets. =
