Charges of extorting money from
prisoners confined in the O'Farrell-

been regarded as one of the most eff
cient and honest officers in the
department Numerous complaints
reached Chief Dinan that a system of

with such strength that Detective
Harry Reynolds was detailed on the
case to find where the blame lay. Ac-
cording to his report Jailer Hightower
is guilty and he will be hailed before the
Police Commissioners to explain his
conduct.
In the event of the dismissal of
Hightower from the force it is proba-

by false pretenses will be fled against
him. He is alleged to have intimi-

UNIONS ARE INNOCENT

special meeting of the executive e
board of Garments Union No. 205 will
be held tomorrow night to take up the
question of the attitude of the men
and the company in running the, cars
The occurrences of the past few nights
where incipient riots have taken place
are the cause for the meeting.
Cornelius claims that the members
of his union are in no way responsible
He says: The platform men should not
be blamed. On the other hand. the
company should. not expect platform
men to act as special policemen If
men are to be elected from the cars
there are inspectors and other officials
of the company who should attend to
that matter. Platform men are not
paid for any such service as that and
my advice to the members of the union
is TO attend strictly to the duty of
operating the cars and leave all con-
fiicts to be attended to by the proper
officials of the company"

PROFESSOR SOULE
WINS HIS SUIT

Owing, to the poor penmanship of
Henry D. Bacon, who died January 10,
1893, his will was misread and SON
in-law and a daughter-in- law, who
should have originally received from
the estate $4,000 each, were awarded
instead $4,000 each. The Supreme Court
affirmed yesterday the decision of the
lower court granting each of them the
additional $4,000 due. The error was
not discovered for several years after
the estate had been settled.
Frank Soule. professor of the de-
partment of civil engineering in the
University of California. is the son-in-
law affected by thA~ decision and the
daughter-in-law is Mrs. Mamie C. Ba-
con, wife of Frank P. Bacon. It was
intended by the will that these two
relatives should have the amounts
specified on condition that the entire
estate should amount to at least $780,
600. 1t is found that the estates value
reaches total of more than s1,500,000

UNDER TAK[R' s BILL
GUT BY JUDGE

Fifty dollars off an account for each
of three alleged misstatements con-
corning it was the way in which Judge
Graham, as legal auditor in probate
case. settled the bill of Theodore
Dierks. as undertaken, against the es-
tate of the late DR.. J. Coplin Stinson
DR.. Stinson, former member of the
Board of Health, was killed in the
collapse of the California Hotel on
April 1S of last year, and Attorney
Moody, representing the deceased S
heirs, had Dierks take charge of the
burial. Dierks returned bill for S60S,
of which S525 was for a metal casket,
and Moody refused to allow it. Dierks
then presented the bill in the Probate
Court, asking an order for its pay
ment.
Moody testified yesterday that his
objections to the size of the account
were due to the charges for the casket
He said that when he inquired of
Chief Clerk Rhinehart in Dierks' es-
tablishment regarding the account,
Rhinehart told him that it had been
necessary to send to Los Angeles for
the casket, as all in this city had been
destroyed in the fire, and that a large
part of the charges was for shipment.
Moody declared that Dierks later called
on him and said the casket had been
obtained in Reno When questioned in
court Dierks testified that the casket
had been obtained from the Odd Fell
lows cemetery in this city,
There seem to be three different
versions as to where this casket came
FROM said Judge Graham. "The court
will subtract $50 from the account for
each version and allow the remainder

COMPARATIVE TABLE
HEALTH BOARD WANTS POWER
TO CLOSE UNSANITARY STABLES
Proposed Ordinance Would Obyiate
Necessity Of Appealing to Police
Courts

Attorney James A. Devote Us draft
ing an ordinance designed to give the
Health Board power to- close up un-
sanitary stables without having re-
course to the Police Courts, as the
existing ordinance requires. The Health
Board complains that it is not given
proper support by the Police Judges
when the proprietors of unsanitary
stables are arrested for maintaining
nuisances and that convictions are diff
cult to secure.
Under the proposed new ordinance
the Health Board will be enabled to
order vacated any stable that does not
comply with the sanitary laws until
such time as the necessary improve
ments are made.
The ordinance will be introduced at
next Mondays meeting of the Board
of Supervisors Aby Lonergan. chairman
of the health committee, in response to
the requests of clergymen and others,
who have complained that the stable
evil is a growing menace to the health
of the community.
