DEERING DECLARED NOT
GUILTY OF MISCONDUCT
Captain Baneson Fails to Prove
His Accusation Against
Inspector.

The charges of Captain John Barne-
son against Thomas P. Deering, As
sistant Inspector of Hulls, were dis
missed yesterday by Supervising In
spector Birmingham. Captain Rarne-
son complained that Deering, by dila-
tory and exacting methods, had delayed
the clearing of the steamer Buckman
on June 4.
Supervisor Birmingham found that
Deering had done no more than his
duty and that the fault Of the non
clearance of the Buckman lay at the
door of Captain Barneson himself, for
the vessels equipment was not ready
for inspection in time.
Captain Bermingha decision con-
tains this modification: Captain Deer
ing is a man competent, faithful, dill
gent and an honest inspector of hulls,
but under excitement a little indis-
Greet in his language" This has refer
ence to the testimony that Deering
called Engineer Levin a liar. "a mild
er word than liar would have sufficed,"
is the opinion of Captain Birmingham
An investigation was held also into
the charges of incivility preferred by
Harry B. Thomas against o. T. Bolles,
United States Local Inspector of Hulls
Thomas accused Bol1es of roaring" at
him when he applied to Bolles for in
formation as to the standing OF George
H. Harvey, the pilot who took out the
cruiser Milwaukee recently. Bolles ad-
mitted that he was under great stress
of business at the time and may have
talked somewhat loudly, but denied
that he was disrespectful to Mr.. Thorn
as. The case was taken under advise
ment.

Policeman Hicks was sent, and he
had considerable difficulty in taking

HER LONG FALL.
Alice Kenney Gives Evi-
dence Against Hus-
band, Who Is on Trial
FIVE-STORY DROP

With scars testifying to the wounds
she claims to have received at the
hands Of her husband, Alice Kenney
told a jury yesterday afternoon how
William ]. Kenney broke into her room
in the United States Hotel last Decem
Der. nnistreated her until she was un-
conscious, presumably showed her out
OF the window and left her clinging to
the windowsill Heeding with unpity
ing eyes her beseeching plea to save
her, he left the room, and Mrs Kenney
dropped five stories TO what she thought
at the time was certain death.
There is one weak point in the story
broken all relations with the man she
married and whom she is now endeav-
oring to send to prison. She cannot
testify positively that her husband
threw her through the window. Her
mind is q blank from the time she was
being dragged toward the window until
she came TO her senses to find herself
desperately clinging to the sill.
Mrs. Kenney gave graphic account
OF her trouble with her husband on the
night OF December 16. Some six months
previous, Mrs. Kenney said, she had
left her husband. On the night in ques-
tion he entered her room. They quar-
relied, and she ordered him from the
room. Kenney refused to go and then

the witness, "and commenced to drag

looked Kenney in the face and said,
Will, you won't leave me to die" He
meyer took his eyes from my face, but
backed away toward the door. 1 looked
at him and called on him to save me.
He never said a word, but stepped out
of the door. and then 1 dropped"
Mrs Kenney broke her jaw and her
arm, and for a time it was feared she
would not live. The two police officers
who arrested Kenney were on the stand,
and the prosecution closed the case
with the exception of the testimony of
DR.. Frank Tillman of the Receiving
Hospital
Judge Lawlor ordered a bench war
rant 70 be issued for the arrest of the
physician, but when DR.. Tillman ex
planned that he was absent through
misunderstanding he was eXonerated.
The case will be concluded this after
noon and sent to the jury.

COMPANY DEMANDS

Merchants Must Act to
Relieve Congestion,
Kruttschnitt Declares

julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and operation of the Southern
Pacific Company, said yesterday in ref
erence to the great congestion of cars
in this State and Nevada:
We have some 5000 cars tied up on
the line from this city to Sparks. The
majority of the cars are located right
here in this vicinity, however. This is
a serious situation of affairs for the
company.
We need the cars and we want to use
them We have asked the merchants of
this city to help us out. We want them
to take their goods away. While we
are willing to hold the goods, for a GER
tain length of time in our cars, we are
not doing a warehouse business.
We bring the goods across the con-
tinent. but we don't guarantee to store
than forty eight hours. Then the stor-
age charges begin at 81 day per car.
AS 1t is now we are practically acting
as a warehouse system.
This, of course, must cease, and cease
shortly. 1t is up to the merchants TO
help us out and take their goods We
have sent them all circulars stating the
come to our rescue.
We. cannot do more than this. If
they fail to offer a solution we shall be
compelled to act for ourselves.
Although we have heard much about
the question of raising charges for de-
murrage, this factor in the situation
has never been under discussion by our
company. After we hear from the mer-
chants this question of an increase In
demurrage may come up.
