TOO MYSTERIOUS TO
GET HALL PERMIT
COMMISSIONERS TELL JASON
STANLEY "Noe
Fearing Third Parties Were Back Of
Deal, Board Turns Lcwn New
East Seventh Street
Reques:

, Police commissioners yesterday declined
to give permit to Jason Stanley to run
a billiard hall at 2OS4 East Seventh street.
Chief Kern reported that the depart
ment sent for Stanley several times to
visit headquarters in person, but he never
did. Instead a man was sent who was
not in good standing with the officials.
Fearing that the license was being got
ten for some one else the chief recon-
mended refusing the permit, which was
done.
The proposed location is between Mateo
street and Santa Fe avenue and bore
the Endorsements of these names: r. A.
Collins, 129 Malcomson; William Pridham,
per Collins, Alameda, CAL; w. F. Wood
yard, 20f0 East Seventh; Maier Brewing
company. G.. p. Haines. 2007 East Sew
enth; p. A Klassen, zoos East Seventh
street. and Frank Smith, 2009
Two billiard hall permits will be acted
on by the police commissioners at their
first trial session in 1908.
J. M. Miller has asked for license for
hall at 519 West Seventh street, his sign
ers being George w. Walker, j. NJ. Tay-
lor s. Irael and C. L. Smith.
The other is for Henry Stepner at 1896

every newspaper reporter was -, and
he didn't give q - who heard him
say it, that he was wise and his friends
would get him out, and then he would
care any to monkey, with him !;
that he was the coroner and the most
owerfu. man In the county, and they had
better leave him alone
Never did prisoner in the police court
receive such an excoriation as did Lam
terInan.
AS he proceeded, Lanterman covered
point the attack sunk in and finally he
writhed under the terrific storm of
words.
"consummate Nerve"
"A married man with two beautiful
children and a timid, sweet confiding
wife. This is the person for whom
counsel for the deLense asks pardon.
Look at him. He stands disgraced be-
fore the eyes Of decent men and instead
of resigning his office he clings to 1t In
defiance to the demand of the law itself.
He was not only drunk, but he was
found beating a woman of the half world
over two photographs which she had in
her possession In a .bawdy house on Ord
street. And now he has the consumnate
nerve to face this court and ask 1t to
dismiss a complaint charging him with
intoXication."
AS Fleming stopped for breath and
pointed scornfulIy at Lanterman, the
coroner bowed his head In shame, shrink
ing under the hiss that spread through
out the crowded court room.
Prosecutor Fleming cited the law,
taken from the penal statutes of Cali
fornia, which states that any officer
who through intoxication is disqualified
for the performance of his duties, is
guilty of misdemeanor and upon convic-
ton forfelts his office.
Fleming was the center of the drama
yesterday. Earl Rogers was not well
received when he referred to the alleged
drunkenness of governors and presidents
as an extenuation of Lanterman's orgy.
Machine Men There
Every tool of the corrupt political ma
chine was present to attempt to intimi-
date and bluff Fleming. Open threats
were made in the court room, and the
machine politicians did not hesitate TO
stultify the very atmosphere of the halls
of justice by threatening Fleming in a
loud tone of voice.
But Fleming had finally committed
himself and he stood true All Of he
black looks. whisperings and poorly
yelled threats of the machine henchmen
present failed to move him. i,
Rogers was obviously nonplussed. He
made a meek retraction of his statement
that "newspapermen are vultures. and
humbly explained that ''he was only
joking at the time"
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Ford
also took whirl out of the doubly dis
graced coroner and showered his con-
tempt upon him in scathing terms.
Counsel for defense presents an alb
surd argument" declared Ford, turning

to where Earl Rogers sat with sneer
on his face, land the fact that the
coroner might have been called upon
to arrest the sheriff himself shows the
sophistry Of his position, let alone exc
cute the duties of coroner. Suppose he
had been called upon to arrest the
sheriff? No one else but the coroner
in the county has the authority to ar
rest the sheriff. 1t is perfectly plain
that the sheriff would not have been
arrested.
"It is plain that Lanterman violated
his oath of office. Instead of being at
any and all times ready to perform the
duties of his office, he was engaged in
the elevating task Of fnauling prosti-
tute in disorderly house on Ord street
after he had attended a prize fight"
Justice Frederickson continued the case
for further hearing on the demurrer
until next Monday morning.

Such was the climax of the speech made
by Attorney Earl Rogers In open court
before Justice Frederickson yesterday
morning In his argument for the defense
of DR.. r. s. Lanterman, coroner, who was
arrested by Patrolman Clifford December
II as a plain drunk.
According to Rogers logic DIR. Lanter-
mans offense was palliatej by the fact
that he was only drunk"
Attorney Rogers violently assailed the
newspapers, recalling his epithet of 'vul-
lures" and said
This is a case of. for and by the news
papers. Nowadays there is no case In
this state that is tried by jury. Every
case is tried and practically decided by
the newspapers"
Rogers asked Justice Frederickson to
dismiss the complaint on the ground that
the court had no Jurisdiction In the case.
City Prosecuting Attorney Fleming tore
Rogers argument into shreds. He showed
that the statute did give the court juris-
diction; used Rogers admission that his
client was drunk as charged against him,
and proved conclusively that there could
b no basis for the demurrer inasmuch
as the evidence ready to be submitted by
the people was incontrovertible and suf-
ficent to oust the coroner from his office
forthwith upon conviction.
Makes Telling Point
Fleming made a telling point in his
argument that made Lanterman shrink
into. his chair and turned his face red and
white.
THE coroner, by his very oath of. office,
is subject at any and all times to call
to duty. He must be ready night and day
to perform his duties. On the night that
