JUDGE HEbbARO SENDS
A DEFIANT LETTER TO
THE BAR ASSOCIATION
Declines to Appear Before
Inquisitorial Body of
Lawyers
MAY GIVE UP BENCH
Threatens to Sue Cope and
Organization for
100000

Judge ]. C. B. Hebbard has cleared
the decks for fight with the bar as
sociation. In letter to that body.
which was made public yesterday. he
says:
'I have received your various COM
munications and alleged citations, all
of which verify every statement that
have heretofore made about your
body. I will not appear before you az
the time mentioned or any other time
have this day commenced SUIT
against you and your president, Mr..
Cope (who was a boy I taught and fos-
tered) for the sum of 100000. Let
unwrung.' Yours very faithfully and
legally, J. c. B. HEBBARD,
Judge of the Superior Court
The foregoing letter was written
last Monday in reply to the request OF
the bar association that Hebbard ap-
pear before it's grievance committee
for trial on charges of conduct unbe-
coming a member of the association.
Hebbard mentions a suit for $lO0.0OO
damages, but the records OF the county
clerk fail to show that any such
action has been instituted At last
accounts Hebbard was still thinking it
over.
A rumor to the effect that Hebbard
is going to resign has been heard and
Hebbard himself has admitted to
friends that there may be something
in it, He hints that he is weary of
acting as a teacher of law to a class
of men who either can not or will not
understand, but the resignation is
matter of contemplation. 1t
may come when the court vacations
end in August or it may not come
at all.
However, a wonderful book of verse
will soon be on the book stalls. The
title page gives only a hint of the
quality of the divine afiatus concealed
within. 1t reads:
"A Pack of Cards and a Joker
Shuff1ed and Dealt
BY
J. c. B. Hebbard,
Known as Judge Hebbard and
Sometimes Called Jack Hebbard."

SAYS POLICY is VOID

The Metropolitan life insurance COM
pany was given a decision yesterday in
the circuit court of appeals against
Mrs. Hannah Gaylord, whom the trial
court had awarded a Judgment in a
suit on a policy which had lapsed at
the time of the holders death. Judge
Kerrigan, in rendering the decision re-
Versing the action of the lower court
said that the exact language of the
policy must be followed In this case
the collector of the premium had
granted an extension of time and was
to have cabled for the premium three
days after the holders death. But the
wording of the policy did not allow
such action on his part. The holder
of the policy, Richard N. Gaylord, died
before the premium was paid, and so
the policy was void.

ORDINANCE To REGULATE
ALL TENEMENT HOUSES
Committee Prepares Draft
of Measure to Govern
the Structures

City Engineer Woodward submitted
TO the board of supervisors yesterday
the draft of a proposed ordinance TO
regulate the building and occupancy
of tenement houses and which was
prepared by committee appointed at
the recent convention of the Episcopal
church of the diocese of California. con-
sisting of Cecil NJ. Marrack, John Bake
we'll Jr. and Thomas p Woodward.
While the San Francisco building laws
are complete in other respects there
are now no regulations for the build
ing of tenements such as exist in every
other city in the country.
The proposed ordinance lays down
certain requirements for the safety or
the tenants. such as fire escapes, halls,
stairways, etc There are other re-
quirements in regard to light and ven-
tilation which specify certain minimum
sizes for the courts varying with the
height of the building. Tenement
houses must be provided with neces-
sary windows and provision is made
that every room shall be habitable and
sanitary.
There are also provisions regulating
the occupancy of cellars used for living
purposes. One section provides that in
rooms in every tenement house here
after erected access to every living
room and bedroom shall be had without
passing through any bedroom. Also
a proper light shall be kept burning
by the owner in the public Railways
near the stairs from sunset to sunrise.

CITY OF PARIS COMPANY
DENIED AN INJUNCTION
AGAINST SPRING VALLEY
Corporation Need Not Re
store Building That Housed
the Dry Goods Firm
DECISION BY SEAWELL
Terms of Lease Rendered
Unreasonable by Gen
eral Conhagration
DECISION BY SEAWELL

That leases calling for the restora-
tion of buildings destroyed in the gen.
eral confiagration of April Is, 1906, are
unreasonable and cannot be enforced
is the ruling of Judge Seawell as set
forth in an opinion rendered yesterday
on demurrer interpoSed by the Spring
Valley water company to an injunction
suit brought by the City of Paris dry
goods company
The City of Paris prior to the great
fire occupied the greater part of the
Spring Valley building at Stockton and
Geary streets under a 20 year lease
executed in April. 1896. One of the
conditions of this lease provided that
in case fire should render the build
ing unfit for use the lessor should re-
store it to its former condition and
continue the lease, giving the lessee
credit for rental during the time the
structure was not in use. Relying on
this condition, the City of Paris OBJ
jected when in June. 1906, the Spring
Valley company contracted with John
S. Spring and John S. Watson for re-
constructing the building on plans that
would make it unsuitable for use as
a department store. In its complaint
the City of Paris asked that the Spring
Valley company be enjoined from pro-
ceeding with its outlined work of res
toration and that it be compelled to
comply with the terms of the original.
contract. According to the plaintiff the
damage to the building did not exceed
one-sixth of its value.
The demurrer of the Spring Valley
company denied the sixth estimate
and contended that the building was
virtually destroyed. Judge SeawelI
ruled that the restoration clause could
not stand in equity. In view of the
extraordinary conditions created by the
great conf1agration it was unreasonable
and If 1t were enforced the Spring Val
ley company might be forced into the
hands of receiver. In the latter event
the court would have to take charge
of the work of restoration and end
less complications and absurdities
might follow. Therefore Judge SeawelI
sustained the demurrer and denied the
application for an injunction.
The City of Paris will appeal the
case.

SEVEN THOUSAND MEN
WILL RETURN TO WORK
Doors of Iron Works to Be
Thrown Open Again
This Morning

Seven thousand men will go to work
this morning in the various iron trades
industries as a result of the ratifica-
tion by the nachinists early yesterday
morning of the agreement between en-
ployers and employed.
The agreement, originally signed by
j. f. Valentine for the unions, and j.
W. Kerr for the owners. which was ac-
cepted at first by only part OF the
unions involved. was finally approved by
the entire body of workmen through
their unions, and employers through
the metal trades association. J. A.
McGregor, president of the Union iron
works, said yesterday that nothing re-
mained but to open the doors of the
shops, start the fires under the boilers
and go to work on an agreed basis of
peace for three years.
The metal trades association met
yesterday afternoon and received the
report of it's special committee. COM
posed of j. w. Kerr, r. H. Postle-
thwaite and J. j. lyman. The report
showed that the agreement drawn up
some time ago, reducing the hours of
work Is minutes every six months until
an eight hour day shall have been
reached, had been accepted by all of
the unions. The iron trades council
was communicated with and given cop
les OF the dSI6enenL WIFI In6 SIGMA
lures of all of the employers affixed.
This agreement will be presented to the
unions concerned and will be signed as
rapidly as meetings are held.
President McGregor, J. w. Kerr and
j. ]. lyman commented yesterday on
the agreement which had finally been
settled on and expressed admiration for
the dignified and generous attitude of
the international officers who negoti-
ated for the unions.
I'VE found them reasonable, yet care
full for their organizations interests
said McGregor. "a fine spirit of can
dor and sincerity animated them. We
believe they secured all that was rea-
sonable and just, and our relations with
the unions they represent are harmon
ious and pleasant
Conditions in the iron works will be
the same for the next Is months as
they were on April 80, when the men
went out; but taking 15 minutes from
the length of the working day every six
months thereafter. the eight hour day
will be finally achieved. Meantime, the
members of the metal trades associa-
ton will have completed all contracts
assumed under the old order of things,
and will not be penalized by making
the shorter hour day effective.

MOONEY DARES D|NAN
To TAKE THE STAND
BEFORE commission
Pleads Not Guilty to the
Charge of Violating
Regulations
DEFENSE TECHNICAL
Case May Be Carried Into
Civil Courts With
Conviction
DEFENSE TECHNICAL

Captain John Mooney yesterday af-
ternoon pleaded not guilty before the
police commission TO the charge OF
having violated rule SO of the police
regulations. Rule SO provides that any
officer OF the department who shall be
found guilty of spreading scandal or
casting reflections upon any other
member of the police force shall be
liable to dismissal from the force.
The specific charges against Mooney
relate to certain purported interviews
with him which were published In the
daily press. These interviews, in es-
sence. accused the police commission
of apathy in the performance of its
duty The members of the department.
duty and the member of the department
under Captain Mooney of negligent
service and probable dishonesty in not
raiding tenderloin resorts along Golden
Gate avenue, finally involving Chief of
Police Dinan in charges of incompe-
tence and collusion with criminals.
The truth or falsity of these alleged
statements was not made the subject
of the investigation yesterday. News
papermen from the different papers
testified to the fact that Captain
Mooney had made the accusations. De-
tective Sergeant P. Tanning declared
that Captain Mooney had severely
criticised the commission in his pres
ence. Another witness declared that
in connection with an interview for a
morning paper Captain Mooney said
that he would not walk on the same
side of the street with Chief Dinan.
Attorney Roach, representing Cap
tain Mooney, made a technical defense
and intimated that if he lost his case
before the commissioners he would
carry fl into the civil courts under
the provisions of the recent legislation
at Sacramento which provides that de-
partment trials may be carried into
the civil courts.
The grand jury was represented at
the session. NJ Rothenberg was an in
terested spectator, but would express
no opinion as to the outcome of the
trial He said he was there merely as
an onlooker.
While the testimony of the wit
nesses tended to show that Captain
Mooney had made the remarks against
the police commission and Chief Dinan
that had been attributed to him, it was
intimated that the question of the
truth of his allegations will be made
the subject of investigation on the part
of the grand jury.
After the session Captain Mooney
declared that Chief Dinan would not
dare take the stand. He should go
before the commission and testify"
said Mooney. "but he will not. I defy
refusing to subject himself to cross
examination as to the conditions pre-
vaiiing in the department. He will not
dare to testify against me-"
The taking of testimony was not
completed yesterday and the case was
continued until this afternoon at 1870
o'clock.
