City Attorney Hewitt was informed
yesterday that the supreme court had

The issue involved questions of COM

they preferred to have their claims

bidder in the administration of Street

city carried the case higher.

"A. r. APPEL of SIG West Eighth street.
in letter to the city council, asked
that the voting machines be abolished

APPEL suggests that each party have
representative at the polls and that
voters tell these representatives which
candidates they want elected, the names
being checked openly on books. The
scheme does away with the secret

The letter was referred to several

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
VENICE, May 15.-That he had COM
mitted no assault and that his incarcera-
ton in the city jail for more than twenty
hours Sunday was an outrageous proceed
ing, was the opinion of members of the
jury that tried Caspar Bauer local kelp
curio manufacturer, this morning in jus
tice Wheats court as a result of Bauer's
refusal to let the complaint against MIN
be dismissed at the option of w. E. Win
chester, a husky skating rink employe,
who on the strength of a deputy's badge,
which his identity with the local fire de-
partment entities him to wear, caused
Bauer's unpleasant experience.
The evidence brought out at the trial
was to the effect that a number of Win
chester's friends had congregated in the
vicinity of the kelp mans home and
work shop at the entrance to the Wind
ward pier late Saturday night and after
carousing around until after 2 o'clock
Sunday morning began disturbing a
quantity of kelp that had been laid out
on the sand to dry. Bauer ran the men
off his property several times and as a
last recourse seized a shotgun, intending
to scare the disturbers out of the neigh
borhood Bauer swore that on sigl. of

shoot, and appeared to be too intoxicated
to know what he was about. Bauer con-

THIEF IS GUEST
OF SYDNEY SMITH
New York CIubman Sails for Europe
with Man Who Admits Taking
Money and Jewels Worth
$4,000
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 15.-Sydney Smith,
well known in New York society and
member of many clubs, sailed today
for Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm II
and has as a guest George Collins,
alias Bevington, deserter from the
British army and a self-confessed thief.
Mr. Smith pays all expenses and made
little or no attempt to conceal his
somewhat odd situation.
Collins, or Bevington, is the valet for
Morrison Warren, and in March last
took from Mr.. Smiths apartments in
the Hotel Ritz, Paris, money and jew
elry to the value of $4,000. After his
arrest here he confessed and declared
that $4,000 worth of the property is
in a metal box and is hid under a
bed in a room in Paris. Mr.. Smith
Is taking him over there to give him
a chance to prove the truth Of his
assertions.
1t would not do the valet any good
to tell an untruth, because the French
authorities will be awaiting him at
Havre anyhow. Bevington himself Of
fered to go to France without awaiting
extradition papers in the custody of
the man he robbed.
