DECLARES DEN|CKE
SHOT W|LLFULLY.
Assistant District Attor-
ney O'Gara Argues
Against a Dismissal

Under the law 1T is unnecessary to
show proof of hatred or malice" said
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara yesterday in arguing against
the motion to dismiss the information
against Ernest Denieke, accused of
murder. TT is sufficient that the act
was done willfully with the intent to
take life and that the shooting was
deliberate.
The circumstances of the case show
that the defendant was entirely indif-
ferent of the rights of the deceased.
He shot him deliberately. Three times
he shot to kill, and every shot took
effect He saw the man fall wounded,
groaning in his agony, packed up the
gun, handed it to the marine and
walked down the street, without going
to the assistance of the dying man"
It was toward the close of an all
day argument, touching at length on
the technical points that had been
raised by former Governor Budd in
favor of the motion that the assistant
prosecutor combated the argument that
Denicke had shot without malice in his
heart and was therefore not culpable.
He contended that Denicke had shot
the stranger deliberately and should be
brought before jury to answer for
his act.
Assistant O'Gara said that Mayor
Schmitz's proclamation Afforded no
justification beyond the rights that are
prescribed by the statutes
The prosecution will conclude its
argument this morning and Abraham
Ruef will close for the defense

FOLLOWS WHISKY
TRAIL To END.
Wiser Says Brechemin
Has Receipts That
Clear the Situation

Colonel John P. Wiser has finished
examining the military witnesses in
regard to the missing eight wagon
loads of whisky and is satisfied that
the army can account for every drop
of liquor that passed through the medi-
cal supply depot.
The colonel makes a criticism Of ci-
william doctors who were in temporary
charge Of stores--those in the city
emergency service had nothing to do
with supplies-that is likely to make
him the center of storm. He frankly
expresses the opinion that the physi-
clans first mentioned showed incom-
potency.
The colonel has questioned every man
in the medical supply and quartermas-
ter's service. These men all assert that
Colonel Brechemin was careful to se-
cure receipts when supplies were sent
out and on more than one occasion the
goods were returned to the depot be-
cause the proper person could not be
found to receipt for them. Colonel
Brechemin, who is now in New York
has sent a duplicate list of his re-
ceipts, which is expected to arrive any
day.
Although the authorities from the
stations and the Red Cross hospitals
have been invited to testify. none Of
them seems anxious to clear himself
or to show his receipts for goods re-
ceived or given out. AS Colonel Wiser
has no authority to subpoena civilians,
he has decided to make known his re-
port and then If any of the civilian
doctors wish to contradict it they will
have the privilege to do so before 1t is
sent to Washington
The colonel recited many instances
that have recently come to his notice
where goods of all kinds were picked
up from all parts of the city and
dumped at the relief stations without
the slightest record being kept of them.
In several instances whole boatloads
of stuff were dumped at the Preside
wharf and the only record the officers

bility has been prepared by Professor

versity of California, for the informa-
ton Of the Policy Holders League

information has been secured from pol
icy-holders through letters sent out by
the Chamber of Commerce, which is
conducting an inquiry. The banks
have also supplied facts. which they
were enabled to obtain from the large
number of fire insurance policies held
by them as part security for loans on

CONGESTED CARS
BEGIN MOVING.
Work of Merchants Aids
the Southern Pacific
in Relieving Situation

The serious congestion of freight
cars in the yards of the Southern Pa
cific between this city and Ogden. Utah
is being partly relieved through the
efforts of the merchants of San Fran
cisco to unload their goods from the
cars standing on the Oakland tracks
One week ago 5000 cars filled with San
Francisco freight stood blocked in the
Southern Pacific yards. This number
has been reduced TO 1000. General
Manager E. E. Calvin says that with
the effective cooperation of the mer-
chants all of the cars can be unloaded
within the next ten days and the tracks
cleared for further shipments. Unless
the merchants do provide means for a
more rapid unloading OF the cars IT is
probable that an increased demurrage
will be charged by the Southern Pa
cihc
Meanwhile telegraphic orders have
been sent to Southern Pacific agents
throughout the country to refuse all
freight consigned to San Francisco un-
til the blockade is removed. These in
structions inform the agents that they
will be notified as soon as shipments
can begin.
Tons Of freight are lying at Seattle
and Portland awaiting transportation
to San Francisco. The Portland mer-
cnants were renewed yesterday by the
news that the steamers Costa Rica
Columbia and Barracuda would soon
be plying along the San Francisco
route. These vessels Will relieve the
congestion Of freight on the Portland
docks. The Alliance left last night
with a full hold The California and
Oregon Steamship Company is looking
for another vessel to put on the San
Francisco-Portland service.
The committee on railroads of the
Oakland Chamber of Commerce, having
ascertained that over 81 per cent of the
loaded cars in the yards at West Oak
land are consigned TO dealers in San
Francisco. has sent letter to Manager
Calvin of the Southern Pacific Com
pany stating that the congestion is
caused not by freight for Oakland,
but by freight addressed to San Fran
cisco; also that the shippers of Oak
land cannot get their goods delivered
by reason of the Oakland cars being
placed between cars destined for San
Francisco, and winds up by asking:
Would it not be possible to segre-
gate the freight destined for Oakland
either at Ogden, Sacramento or some
other terminal point. that the Oakland
cars may arrive here none promptly
and delivery be made immediately

ROLLS At SCHOOLS
GROW STEADILY.
Total Attendance of Year
Will Be Greater Even
Than Was Expected

Increase in the enrolment of public
school pupils has been steady since the
opening day, and the general attend
ance for the year Is promising to be
even more than the most optimistic OF
the school authorities had estimated
when studies were resumed. Out OF
twenty-five schools, about one-third OF
the total number, which had sent in
reports last night, an increase OF 44O
pupils was noted over the number at
tending the same schools last week
President Altman of the School
Board said:
The increase is certainly encourag-
ing. 1 think it will continue until the
middle of August, anyway.
People are returning to the city as
rapidly as they can tnd places In which
ito live. Many are coming back In
search of homes to rent, but are unable
to find them. New houses that are be-
ing constructed will allow many of
them to find homes here in a short
time.
Out in the northern end of the city
the buildings are being constructed
rapidly and the number Of children is
increasing steadily. The Temporary
building for the Hancock School will be
completed the coming week. and that
will accommodate a large number Of
children in that locality. Several tene-
ment-nouSeS are going up near there
and will probably be filled with families
Immediately.
"A temporary structure will be made
for the Washington Grammar School to
accommodate the pupils until the new
building is constructed. 1t is included
in the new bond issue. The Garfield
School wilF be established on Union
street, between Dupont and Kearny.
The Washington Irving School will be
on Broadway, between Montgomery and
Sansome streets. The Lafayette School
will be moved to Greenwich street. be-
tween Fillmore and Webster"

Company policy-holders have received
a letter from counsel in Hamburg
which contains a statement made by
the North German Company TO the
Hamburg Fremdenblatt
In answer to your request to give

fire." so the article runs in part, I'VE
learn through communications received
from San Francisco that the whole

that, in our opinion, according to the
text of our insurance conditions, COM
pensation need not be made for a con-
siderable portion of the claims.

holders, says that liability has been
denied here, while in Germany the ad-
mission has been made that the loss
that must be met is s1,250,000. In San

whisky can be accounted for and 1 be-
lieve that had the civilian doctors been
as careful about their receipts as the

w-v ]. DUTTON, president Of the
N.Y. old Firemans Fund Insur-
w ance Company OF California
and Home Fire and Marine
Insurance Company of California an
nounced yesterday that II there is sim
& balance due the policy-holders when
the affairs OF his two companies are
wound up he viii dig down into ms
own pocket and promptly pay his snare
OF the amount due. This message was
sent in answer 10 the questions Of the
Organized Policy holders Association,
which met last night TO consider steps
by which they can best secure payment
for their policies held by these two IN
surance companies.
The organized pOlicy-holders did not
adopt any plan by which they will at
tempt to collect all that is due them
from the Fireman's Fund and the Home
Fire and Marine. A committee appoint
ed last week TO talk with President
Dutton reported through Attorney G
E. Kinard that Dutton had promised
the policy holders absolutely fair treat
ment in the distribution Of the com
panies' assets.
FEARS DOUBLE-DEALING.
Kfnard started the only exciting
period OF the evening by declaring that
and Marine were holding star cham
Der" sessions with a committee from
the Policy holders Protective League,
the organization Of the larger policy
holders He said that these meetings
would bear investigating" The as
sured present grew excited at the
thought Of possible double dealing on
the part Of the insurance companies
and CRIED for 2 motion 10 investigate.
T. c. Friedlander, secretary of the Mer-
chants Exchange, silenced the talk Of
favoritism by inviting the committee
from the Organized Policy-holders to
meet with the committee from the
Policy holders Protective League and
confer jointly on the best grounds TO
be taken toward a settlement Fried
lander assured the policy holders that
the merchants organization was work
ing for the good Of all.
These two committees viii meet to-
Rether and decide whether q settlement
with the Fireman's Fund and the Home
Fire and Marine shall be made through
the courts or privately. President Dut-
ton has asked that the directors of his
companies be allowed 70 distribute the
assets out OF court, claiming that this
will be the cheapest way for the policy
holders. This plan. with the addition
OF several poliey-holders to the COM
mittee, may be adopted.
TRICK Is SUSPECTED.
The policy-holders may attack the
formation OF the Ffremen's Fund Cor
pOrstion. the new company which took
over the unburned risks of the old
Fireman's Fund and received about
81, 1000. 600 from the latter's assets for so
doing. Some OF the policy holders de-
clare that this was a trick on the part
OF the directors to get a part of the
assets out OF the reach OF the assured.
No suit will be commenced until the
Fireman's Fund and Home Fire and
Marine have been given full opportu-
nifty TO settle their losses.
