COURT CONVICTS|
FOUR WASHERS.
Judge Mogan to Avenge
Insulted Women With
Long Terms in Jail
SCORES ACCUSED

THE women of this city must be pro-
tected from the insults of rowdies and
the advances of mashers-
This was the sentence which fell
from the lips of Police Judge Mogan
yesterday after he had found the fourth
man of a quartet accused or insulting
unprotected women guilty. The four
men whose actions incensed the court
ranged in age from 19 years to 40
years. Their names are James Gaynor.
Thomas Barnett Lawrence Craig and
Charles Laigi The offensive conduct
complained of occurred in different
parts of the city.
The case which was possibly the
most aggravated was that or Lawrence
Craig. who. has a bad reputation and a
too intimate acquaintance with the po-
lice He met two young girls at the
corner of Twenty-second and Missf0 y
streets last night and forced mem intb

young women gave vent to series
of screams. which brought the desired
succor in the person Of j. s Whitley.
a hardware merchant, whose place OF
business is adjoining He took IN the
situation with glance and. despite the
fact that he is in the lightweight class.
he trounced Craig, who stands more
than six feet high. When the burly de-
fendant appeared in court this morn
ing he had received at the hands OF the
girls gallant defender. 1t did not de-
velop during the hearing the purpose
Craig had in attacking the two young
women
Thomas Barrett OF Oakland was the
next to be found guilty of offensive
conduct. He was under the influence
of liquor when he entered a confec-
tionery store at II Market street. He
made several insulting remarks to
one of the candy girls and emphasized
them by kicking over a counter
police call brought assistance. and the
unruly OakIander was taken to the
disturbing the peace He was promptly
found guilty by Judge Mogan.
James Traynor, teamster attempt
ed to take a buggy ride with two
women who were in rig at the cor
ner of Nineteenth and Folsom streets
His advances were rejected by the
frightened women. but he climbed into
the rig nevertheless and made hfmseI[

an extent that she caused his arrest
He persistently followed her about the
Mission until his prosecutions became
unbearable.. He was then turned over
to the police.
After finding all four men guilty
Judge Mogan delivered the convicted
men lecture, saying:
1t is seldom that I have four men
before me accused of the same base
offenSe. The women of this city must
be protected from rowdies and the ad-
vances of mashers. When this court
convenes tomorrow I think that 1 can
teach each OF you something about
chivalry and the respect that is due our
women At least I can give you time
to reflect on your conduct"

Story
Is Offset by
Mehler.

The thrilling story which Howard
Powelson. a night watchman, told the
police yesterday morning, when he was
picked UP in the street with a bullet
wound in his cheek, seems to have been
largely imaginary. Powelson wanted
the police to believe that he was
wounded in a duel with three burglars
who had attempted to enter the office
of H. Levy, a contractor, at Sixth and
Bryant streets. by whom he was en-
ployed.
The story sounded we'll enough until
Max Mehler. foreman of the Sperry
flour MILL called the Southern station
on the telephone. informed the police
that he had had an encounter with
highwayman and asked that patrol
man be sent to his assistance Police
man McGovern found MehIer waiting
on the corner of Sixth and Bryant
streets, near the scene of the shooting
At the Southern station he repeated his
story of the alleged hold-up. explaining
that he had shot his assailant in self
defense. The two stories were so much
at variance that both men were placed
under arrest.
Mehler asserts that he was walking
along Sixth street on his way home
when a man stepped from the shadow
of a building and commanded him to
throw up his hands. Mehler was carry
ing revolver for just such an emer-
gency. AS soon as the words were
spoken he fired at the robber. he says,
then turned and ran away.
Powelson has another version of the
encounter. While seated In the office
of his employer, he declares, three men
attempted to enter through a window
When he commanded them to desist one
of the intruders fired at him, the bullet
striking him in the cheek Powelson
followed the men into the street, where
he exchanged shots with them.
As Mehler bears an excellent reputa-
tion the police believe his story. Yes
terday morning he was released from
custody, while Powelson was held pend
ing further Developments He will be
charged with an assault with intent to
commit robbery.
Powelson's wound is not considered
serious. He passed restless night at
the Central Emergency Hospital and in

PRESIDENT To ACT
ON ACCIDENTS.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The Presi-
dent is preparing to take UP in earnest
the railroad accident problem. The an
nouncement in his letter to Repre-
sentative Watson that he desires to
see Congress enact a law limiting the
number of hours or employment of
railroad employees contains only a sug-
gestion Of his programme. He wants
Congress to enact a law requiring g
every railroad that does a passenger
business to install the block system.
and it is his desire that the railroads
should be prodded until they comply
with the law requiring all freight cars
to be equipped with air brakes.
1t is believed that with these three
regulations enforced, fewer hours of
labor daily. the universal use of the
block signaling system and the equip
ment of all cars with air brakes the
number of accidents can be reduced.
Possibly other Federal regulations may
be suggested. These three are to be
applied first.
Just before Congress adjourned Sem
ator La Toilette succeeded in having
his bill limiting the number of hours
of employment made a special order
for January 20 next. and now that the
legislation has the Presidents backing
1t is likely to go through. The COM
mittee of interstate and foreign COM
merce in the House is preparing to
bring in bill to require the use Of
the block signaling system

Whether the new women police shall

cess of the latest styles is a problem
that is worrying the several applicants
for the positions on the force, which
Mayor Stoy plans to award to husky
women folk in the event of continued
shortage of men for the jobs of patrol
men in the exclusive Chelsea district.
An applicant today, after telling her
physical fitness for the job, which pays
SIS a month, said:
The style of uniform will have con-
siderable to do with my acceptance
should 1 be selected. I have in mind
a uniform OF blue, with the coat tight
fitting and reaching below the waist.
With this I should suggest brass but
