faced woman and ten young folk, rang
ing in age from two to twenty years,
the lawyer exclaimed: There they are
the defendants dependents"
But the defendants dependents did
not second the appeal for 1eniency.
Speaking for the group, the wife and
mother declared that the defendant ILL
treated his dependents when he was
not in Jail. SO why on earth should they
desire to have him kept out of Jail :?
They had managed to exist without his
aid, she averred, and rather than de-
prive him of his just deserts they would
cheerfully continue to survive indie
pendently of his neglect. To illustrate
how he did not provide for them she
would cite the incident of his having
purchased and taken home a beefsteak
and keeping it beneath his pillow all
night lest they might appropriate 1t to
their own use. And the next morning
he cooked and ate evepy shred of the
meat, while they perforce breakfasted
on mush and water.
When the defendants attorney re-
covered from the surprise and chagrin
conveyed to him by Mrs. Mulcahey's s
unexpected attitude he endeavored to
offset her accusations by producing a
sheaf of weekly bills for corner grocery
wares which Mrs Mulcahey had or
dered and for which Mr. Mulcahey had
paid, almost every other Item thereon
being whisky, 10 cents.

tory conclusion, this woman ordered
and obtained enough whisky to keep a
seasoned topper constantly soaked. What
did she do with it-drink it herself or
give it to her neighbors? | will leave
the court to conjecture.
The court Immediately conjectured
by sentencing Mr.. Mulcahy to sixty
days Imprisonment.
Something more horrible than gro
cery-store whisky was requisite to
counterbalance the incident of the beef
steak.

CHARTER BALKS
LICENSE SCHEME
All Mercantile Business
Exempt From Tax
Raising Plan.


BY the charter of San Francisco
Mayor. Schmitz and the Board of Su-
pervisors are completely balked in any
attempt to impose a license on mer-
camille business, retail or wholesale,
other than the retail liquor business,
except those lines of trade that are
under the supervision of the Police De-
partment.
Not only that, but it would seem
from a reading of the charter that
Mayor Schmitz and the Supervisors
went beyond the limit of their author
ity when a license of $500 a year was
imposed not only upon the retail liquor
stores but the wholesalers 1t is ru-
mored that the Wholesalers will resist
the collection of the tax on the ground
that under the charter they are eX-
empt
That such condition exists was dis
covered by Supervisor Fred Nichols
when he commenced the preparation OF
a resolution that meant the licensin g
of every mercantile business in the
city. He believes that If the saloon
men are required to assist in support
ing the city other lines of trade should
do their part.
Section Is. in defining the powers of
the Supervisors. says:
ITO impose license tax and to pro-
license taxes shall be imposed upon
any person who. at any fixed place of
business in the city and county, sells or
manufactures goods, wares or mer-
chandise except such as require per-
mits of the Board OF Police Commits
sioners."
In the section of the charter defining
the powers of the Police Commissioners
it states they are empowered:
ITO. grant perrnifS to apv r1arSOu 10
string to engage in the sale of liquor in
less quantities than one quart. or
where the liquor Is to be consumed on
the premises
Further. the powers of the Chief OF
Police are defined;
The Chief of Police shall possess
powers of general police inspection, SUI
pervise and control over all pawnbrok-
ers, peddlers. junk shop dealers, deal
ers in secondhand merchandise. auc-
tioneers and intelligence Office keep
ers."
Supervisors Nichols says that he un-
derstands the provision excluding the
licensing of mercantile businesses was
inserted in the charter as sop to the
business interests of the city. and that
for this reason they agreed to sup
port the charter when ii came up for
vote of the people. In any event he
declares there is no use of his in
Producing a resolution to secure fur
ther revenue and he will quit.
1t will also head off a plan of the
Mayor. who in his recent communica-
tion to the Supervisors intimated that
at a near date in the future he would
submit plan for licensing the mer-
camille business of San Francisco.
Nothing is contained in these pro-
visions of the charter by which il can
be construed that wholesale liquor
houses are ameaable to license The
Supervisors are not permitted to exact
licenses. save in case where the Police
Commissioners have supervision. The
Commissioners are given supervision
over retail liquor-houses. but there is
an absence of any instructions regard
ing the wholesalers in this line of
business.

FIVE MEN FACE
MURDER CHARGE
Preliminary Hearing IN
Kellner Case Is
Under Way.
Cause of Death Is Re
vealed by Medical
Testimony.

The preliminary hearing of the five
men charged with numbering Andrew
Kellner aboard the steam schooner Ma
tional City on June II last began yes
terday morning before Police Judge
Cabaniss. An attempt made by the de-
fense to secure postponement for one
week failed. The preliminary examina-
tion then opened with the taking of the
medical testimony in the case, after
which a continuation until tomorrow
morning was granted
The five men who face the serious
charge now pending are Port Captain
George l. Hammer, Joseph B. Hubbard.
Daniel T. Cahill. Frank Martin and
Clarence Mcconnell. They are each
separately charged with the murder of
Kellner. who was killed on the launch
Escort by bullets fired by armed mem
bers of the National City's crew In
addition there is pending against each
man three separate charges of assault
to murder. sworn to by John Petersen,
Andrew Hansen and Holger Borgensen
of the Sailors Union. who were wound
ed at the time Kellner was shot.
Henry Ach. who with Alfred ]. Fritz,
is representing the interests of the de-
PENDANTS. yesterday appealed to the
court for a continuation of one week
in which to prepare the defense. This
was OBJECTED TO by Assistant 11SIrlct
Attorney Rodgers and the associate
counsel for the Sailors Union. H. w.
Hutton; on the ground that many of
the prosecutions witnesses were sea.
faring men, and a postponement would
be a hardship. The defense then
agreed to the hearing of medical tes-
timony.
Autopsy Surgeon o. S. Kucich testi-
fed to the condition of Kellner's body
at the time of the autopsy. He de-
scribed the course of the death-dealing
bullet. which entered on the right side
of the chest below the collarbone and.
ranging downward, pierced the right
ventricle of the heart. lodging near the
sixth rib on the left side. The other
bullet. which DR.. Kucich described as
not necessarily causing fatal wound
entered Kellner's body at the left side
of the abdomen and passed almost
horizontally through the body. lodging
under the flesh tissues at the back
DIR. NJ E. Magnus said that Kellner
was dead when brought into the Har
Dor Hospital by seven or eight men.
Upon being asked to point out any one
of these men in the courtroom he failed
to do So Dr. Magnus described the
condition of the body. but was unable
to tell whether Kellner wore coat
and vest, and could not therefore be
certain whether such garments were
searched for weapons by the Deputy
Coroner.
With the conclusion of DR.. Magnus'
testimony an adjournment was taken
until 1890 tomorrow morning.

1t had been arranged that Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Hanley was to spend last Sat
urday at the home Of her sister, Mrs
George O'Brien. and that Mr.. O'Brien
would escort her from her refugee
abode at Seventeenth and Mission
streets, to his family residence. far out
the San Bruno avenue And that pro-
gramme might have been carried
| through without hitch if Mr.. O'Brien
had entrusted to his better half the
procuring of the liquid refreshments
which were to eniiven her sisters S
visit. Instead of doing that, however,
he purchased a bottle of whiskey while
he was en- route to Mrs. Hanley's home,
and on arrival there both he and the
lady sampled it. How often or how
deeply they drank was not reported to
Judge Conlan, before whom they were
arraigned for drunkenness
The arresting policeman testified
that he was called TO remove O'Brien
and Mrs. Hanley FROM Mission street

of the conveyance informed him, they
had slumbered throughout the entire
east bound trip. After they boarded
the vehicle at Sixteenth and Mission

the conductor further averred, OBrien
was sufficiently sober to pay their
fare; but at the end of the line
both he and Mrs. Hanley were sound
asleep, and when he was awakened and
again requested to pay fare he drows-

to Oblivion. Thus the pair were car
ried TO the ferries, where, as the con-
/ ductor was not running a lodging
house on wheels he compassed their
removal.

O'Brien had been compelled to spend
