CLARK AND BRYAN 7
HELD FOR TRIAL.
Motion on Behalf of De-
PENDANTS to Dismiss
Is Denied by Court

John I. Clark and George Bryant,
accused of the theft of 290 blankets
from the lot intended for distribution
to refugees at Golden Gate Park by
the National Red Cross Socieay. were
held by Police Judge Conlan yesterday
to answer before the Superior Court.
The charge is grand larceny: Bonds
were fixed at $4,000 in each case.
When the preliminary examination
was resumed yesterday A. Sugarman,
junk dealer, as Duboce avenue, was
called. He related the incidents that
led up to the arrest of the defendants.
Bryant called at his place on June 2s
and asked him II he could handle a
big lot of blankets, say 400 per week
and sometimes S00," as he put it. The
junk man had no intention of handling
the blankets, but wanted to expose the
men who were robbing the poor re-
fugees.
Bryant went with Sugarman to the
children's Fairgrounds and gave him
two of the blankets as samples. The
junk dealer consulted Detective Ryan
and the plan was laid to catch Clark
and Bryant. Sugarman got from
Bryant a letter calling for the blankets.
which was to be presented to Clark
by the teamster. Instructions were
also given in 1t as to the way to go
leave. Sugarman saw Clark at the
camp, and the price agreed upon was
$1.20 for each blanket A teamster
was engaged and a wagon load of 400
blankets was obtained on June %.
Bryant was to call at the witness
place that afternoon for the money.
When Bryant first spoke to him about
the blankets he said that if Sugarman
did not agree to take them others
would
James Manning, an electrician for
the United Railroads, was the teamster
for the occasion. He testified to driy-
ing to Camp. 1, presenting the envelope
TO Clark and getting the load of 400
blankets. Clark told him how to leave
the camp with the load and gave him
a piece of burlap to throw over his
wagon after he had left the park.
Clark also gave him an envelope which
contained a receipt for 400 blankets
purporting to have been sent to the
camp at the speedway. Manning drove
with the load to Point Lobos avenue,
where Detective Ryan and Sugarman
were waiting for him.
Detectives Ryan and Mulcahey testi-
fed as to the arrest of Clark and
Bryant. which closed the case for the
prosecution.
Attorney Eddy, on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS, moved for a dismissal,
arguing that 1t had not been shown
that the blankets belonged to the Red
Cross Society or that Dir. Devine had any
authority to swear to the complaint
The Judge denied the motion and held
the defendants to answer before the
Superior Court.
Clark was formerly superintendent
of Camp l at the park, and Bryant was
engineer at the children's playground
there at the time of the alleged theft

WOODEN BUILDINGS
MAY COME DOWN.
Commissioner of Board
of Works Maestretti
Urges Their Removal

Within thirty days after notice from
the Board of Public Works there may
be forced removal of temporary
wooden buildings that are springing up
In the burned district and elsewhere.
Commissioner Maestretti made a report
to the board that may determine this.
1t is believed that the associates Of
Maestretti on the board are in accord
with him and will order the removal
OF dangerous structures.
1t is not known how Mayor Schmitz
will view this proposed move of the
board. 1t was only a week ago that
Chief Building Inspector John p. Hor-
gan announced mat under the Mayors
proclamation all temporary wooden
structures erected in the fire limits of
the burned district without a permit
from the Board of Public Works could
be ordered down on ninety days notice
from the board. After seeing the ex-
tent of building operations and fearing
that the wooden buildings will remain
for many years. Commissioner Macs
tretti is prepared to urge that the
board take immediate action to have
the buildings removed within thirty
days.
Commissioner Maestretti said yester-
day many buildings are being erected
without permits and are of fiinsy con-
struction. The number of buildings
and the rapidity with which they are
being erected makes 1t impossible for
the board to send around it's inspectors
to pass upon their safety.
The insurance question has been
brought up, and 1t is known that the
companies are refusing TO write risks
In menaced districts.
AS the matter now stands the Com
missioner fears that influence will be
exerted to preserve the wooden build
ings and in time 1T will be hard to
cause their removal.

ALLEGED VIOLENCE
IS THE ISSUE.
Judge Morrow Intimates
He VIII GrantLumber
People an Injunction
CASE is CONTINUED

Juo5e Morrow intimatea very strong
ly yesterday in the Sailors Union case
fhat he would grant the Injunction
asked for by the Hammond Lumber
COMPANY restraining striking sailors
and o. hers from using force and in+t,,,f
dalton gainst employees of the lumber
company. He said that the strikers
hao right 10 approach men peace
ably and advise them 10 cease work
but that the issue in this case was
the alleged violence and intimidation
set forth in the afidavits.
Inc case was continued until next
Monday. Henry Ach said that he would
present 10 the court on that dav A de-
cision OF the United States Supreme
Court holding that IL was unlawful to
interfere IN that way to the injury OF a
msn's business
During the course Of the argument.
T. w Hutton. attorney for the de-
ienoants said that several vessels car
rTlns passengers had incompetent
crews, unable TO perform fire and boat
orlils that complaint had been made
10 the United States local inspectors
concerning such crews. that the in
spectors had found such crews incoua-
petent and that the ship owners there
fore were obliged to change their YES
sells 10 freighters, because on such
boats no FIRE or boat drills are re-
Quired.
When United States Local Inspector
John X. Bulger was informed OF this
statement BY Hutton he declared il
untrue and said:
We have never found any of the
crews mentioned incompetent or unable
10 perform FIRE or boat drill. and the
ship. owners were not obliged TO go out
OF the passenger business for any such
reason. The reason is the scarcity of
sailors because Of the strike and fewer
men are required to man a freighter
than TO handle a passenger vessel We
have found all these crews compe-
cent consider Huttons statement
malicious misrepresentation of this
oflce, and il looks like a deliberate
attempt TO deceive the court at our
expense.
Judge Morrow remarked humorously
during the course Of the argument that
IL was evident from the testimony of
Secretary Furuseth that the strikers
had been counseled 70 be peacea BILE
but from the aff1davits filed in the case
r. was equally evident that this coun-
5ar had been ignored and acts Of vio-
lsnce committed. It was therefore
plain that Mr.. Furuseth needed an as
sistant, and the best assistant the
court could think OF was an injunction.
