GALLAGHER TILTS
WITH NFWBURGH
Doodle Witness Cross Examined
in Police Court by Ruef's
Attorney
Busy Lawyer for the Defense
Rebuked for Another In
suit to the Court

Although the cross examination of
former Supervisor James L. Gallagher
took all of yesterday afternoon in
Judge Cabaniss' court little progress
was made by Ruef's attorney. New
burgh attempted to discredit Gallagher
as a witness by making much of the
fact that he had testified enormously
at the trial of Ruef before Judge
Dooling as to the presence of former
Mayor Schmitz at the famous luncheon
at the Casino rendered the supervisors
by the Parkside promoters.
Gallagher destroyed the force of the
point by admitting that at that time
he had been in error and had corrected
himself voluntarily while on the stand.
Il say now, as 1 said in my testimony
in Judge Dooling's court" said CAL
lagher, that my entire testimony in
regard to Mayor Schmitz' presence at
the Casino luncheon was entirely err
rOneous, and I made the correction my
self at that time Immediately after
finding my mistake. The mistake then
was due to the fact that 1 got the
occasion mixed with another luncheon
when Mayor Schmitz spoke at a ban
quet given by the Ocean Shore"
Assistant District Attorney Heney did
not attend the hearing yesterday and
his place was taken by Assistant Dis
trlct attorney Louis Ward. Deprived
of directing personalities at Heney,
Newburgh devoted some pains to rous-
ing the anger of the court with in
sinuating remarks. After one of his
constant objections had been over
ruled he said, IF Mr.. Heney had asked
it 1 suppose it would be granted
Judge Cabaniss rebuked him sharply.
L want to say right now very frank
ly," said he, that the policy of this
court is to overlook much that is said
by counsel unless they become plainly
and purposely offensive. You will
withdraw that remark and want yod
hereafter to make no comments"
One sharp tilt between Gallagher and
Newburgh occurred over one of New
burgh's questions.
We'll, to tell the truth" began
Gallagher when Newburgh interrupted
with L expect nothing else from you
You will get nothing else from me, -
said Gallagher.
We'll, you leave that for somebody
else to say" Ruefs lawyer again inter
posed.
I certainly wouldn't leave it to you,
retorted Gallagher.
Judge Cabaniss ordered the examina-
tion to proceed, at which Newburgh
broke out with I will not permit Mr..
Gallagher to have the last word
oh, l thought that was a privilege
only old women arrogated to them
selves said the court.

WOULD SAFEGUARD
|. THE NAME "HOTEL'
Managers Object to It's Use by
Houses of Notorious
Character
Landlords Also Protest Against
the New System of Tele-
phone Charges

Vigorous protest against the use OF
the word "hoteP' by houses of notori-
Gus character was made yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the man
ayers of the prominent hotels of the
city. The meeting was held at the
Hotel Stewart and James Woods of the
st. Francis was in the chair. The
hotelmen condemned the practice by
which large number of rooming
houses of fagrant nonrespectabilty,
the names of which were openly dis
cussed, are allowed to offer the lure of
the name of "hotel" to strangers visit
ing the city.
To bring this matter more strongly
before the administration meeting
which is to be attended by all the
hotelmen has been called for July 22
at the Stewart. A committee will then
be named to take whatever measures
may be deemed necessary and to agi-
tate before the proper city officials a
change in the present custom.
Protest was also made against the
new telephone rates as applied to
hotels. The hotel managers argue that
they are in the nature of wholesale
customers and should be given a rate
that allows them to at least meet the
expenses of a hotel telephone system.
A reduction of so cents was made on
each trunk line, but this decrease was
more than offset, the managers declare,
by the Introduction of new charge
for circuit and current power
An effort will be made to have the
double license for cafe and bar in
hotels reduced to a single license on
the plea that a hotel is not a public
grill but convenience for guests SINH
lar to the bar in a club.

DELMONTF ENTERS
COMPLETE DENIAL
Tells Police He Had No Hand in
the Murder of John
BuchnOff
Friends Secure Attorney, Who
Institutes Habeas Corpus
Proceedings at Once

Augustine Delmonte, the man ar
rested in connection with the death of
John Buchnoff, the IA year old boy,
whose dead body was found among the
garbage in a bin at the sanitary re-
duction works, made his first state
told by Buchnoff's companions, but de-
nying emphatically that he murdered
the lad.
His statement was made through Po-
liceman Rocca, who acted as inter-
prefer.
Il had received orders to chase the
boys away from the place" said he.
"I remember chasing away some boys
on the day the dead body was dis
covered, and remember, in particular,
one more impudent than the others,
who returned after I had told him to
go. / finally drove him away, and that
was the last I saw of them. After this
incident I went away to clean myself,
and the first I knew of the death was
that evening when the body was dis
covered in the bin.''
Despite the mans denials the police,
after a continued investigation yes
terday, were confident that their course
in holding him was correct
II have made a personal investiga-
tion of the case" said Chief Biggy, "and
have examined the scene of the death.
cannot yet accuse this or any other
man of murder, but I am satisfied that
our procedure in the case is right"
Biggy, accompanied by Captain Kelly,
visited the sanitary reduction works
and questioned number of employees,
particularly Peter Varni, foreman of
the furnaces. Varni explained how the
bins We're filled and went into the de-
tails of the death, telling of the po-
sitlon of the body when found and the
manner in which the refuse was
scraped into the furnaces.
Attorney A. ]. Spinettt was retained
by Delmonte's friends to represent him,
and Immediately instituted habeas cor
pus proceedings for his release.
The police have nothing more than
suspicion" said Spinetti MY theory
is that the affair was an accident. /
think the boy fell into the bin and
suffocated to death and that the wound
was caused in raking over the refuse. -
The habeas corpus proceedings were
filed in Judge Cooks court and will
be returnable Friday.

PRAISES ENTHUSIASM AT
CLUBWOMEN'S MEETING
Mrs. Lowell White, However,
Regrets Lack of Interest in
National Art Gallery

Mrs. Lowell White, a California dele
gate to the. general convention. of
clubs in Boston, has returned full of
enthusiasm over the convention.
, 1T was the greatest ever held" said
Mrs. White. land we were royalty en-
tertained. There were 100 delegates
and 500 alternates, and 1t was an in
spring sight to watch them fill SYM
phony hall. Senator Beveridge and
Prof Charles Zueblin of the Chicago
university addressed us, and Mrs. ]. w.
Orr and Mrs. Robert ]. Burdette were
the speakers from the California dele
cation. We made a rousing campaign
for San Francisco In 1910. It was all
enjoyable, except that l should like to
have seen the women take the initi-
ative in some grand national movement
such as the establishment of national
art gallery in Washington. This is a
crying need and should receive the at
tention of the clubs. The convention
was an impressive sight, though women
in politics have all the vices of men
and some of their own. However, it
Is not so much for what the women are
doing as for what they are becoming
that we enthuse over these general
meetings. The California club of New
York gave US a reception and there
were endless excursions and entertain
ments, all of which were very much
enjoyed"

PRACTICE FAILS;
ATTORNEY DESERTS
Fred Woodwork Closes Office
and Mysteriously Disap-
pears From City

Much anxiety is felt by the relatives
and friends of Fred Woodwork, an
attorney, who disappeared from this
city over month ago. No word as to
his whereabouts has been received 1t
is generally believed that, disgruntled
over his inability to succeed in the
practice of the law, without word Of
explanation to his parents, who live in
Tomales, or to his friends, he quietly
took train east.
Woodwork was a guest at the Hotel
st. James until six weeks ago. He did
not inform the management that he
intended to give up his rooms. He
left an account of SIS unpaid. After
two weeks his father, who is in the
dairy business, was notified. He paid
the bill and took charge of his sons
effects.
At his office, a single story structure
called the Woodwork building, at 31s
Van Ness avenue, nothing has been
heard of him. 1t is presumed that he
is in the east.
About week ago he sent back the
key of his room to the hotel, with q
short explanation that he was dis
appointed at his failure to succeed in
the practice of the law and was going
away. 1t was impossible to discover
any postmark on the letter The note
was turned over to Woodworth's
father.
Before going east the attorney Wis
tied Bushnells gallery and asked II
there were any plates bearing his
likeness. He was shown a few and or
receiving them dashed them to pieces
Woodwork is a graduate of Harvard
university. His resemblance to Gen
eral U. S. Grant has often been re-
marked. About three years ago he be-
gan a series of suits against the gov
ernment for some tide lands in Tomales
bay.

M'FNFRY TURNS
ON HIS ACCUSER
Physician Charges That Profess
sOr Mclaughlin of Illinois
Misused Money
Says That Educator Has Em=
bezzIed Bonds to the
Amount of $4,000

Or. william -McEnery, who was
charged by his brother in law, Prof.
Andrew c. Mclaughlin, of Illinois, with
fraud in conn ection with the estate of
McEnery's widow. has turned upon
the professor with an accusation of the
embezzlement of $4,000 belonging to
Isabelle Lois Mclaughlin, the doctors S
stepdaughter and ward.
The charges and counter charges
have engendered great bitterness be-
tween the physician and the professor,
but during their appearance in Judge
Troutrs court yesterday there was no
outward evidence of IL, except their
studied aloofness and restraint from
speech with one another.
On the question of the $4,000 which
Mclaughlin claims should be paid him
from the estate Of his late sister, Mrs.
Henrietta NJ. Mclaughlin McEnery,
who was the doctors wife, 1t was ar
ranged that McEnery should pay the
sun into the court clerks hands, there to
remain pending further order Of the
court. Gavin BfcNab, attorney for Nc
Emery, at once produced a roll Of
currency. totaling $4,000, and handed it
TO the clerk. II was on McNab's mo-
tion that this arrangement was decided
upon.
McEnery's accusation against Nc
Laughlin was then taken up. An afi-
davit by McEnery was fled, in which
IL was stated that Mclaughlin had in
his possession stocks and bonds of Isa-
belle Lois Mclaughlin, Of whose per-
son and estate DR.. McEnery is the
guardian. Upon information and belief
ii is alleged that Mclaughlin has sold
United States bonds belonging to her
for $4,000; that he has been conduct
ing a pretended administration of her
estate, and that under such pretense
he has concealed and embezzled the
proceeds Of the sale of the bonds. Nc
Laughlin was cited to show cause why
he should not pay over to Miss Nc
Laughlin the money belonging to her
remaining in his hands. McEnery will
leave San Francisco for England July
19, and IN order that both matters may
be cleared up before he departs Judge
Trout set July 16 as the day for the
hearing.
AIcNab is greatly incensed over the
proceedings taken by McLaughlin's at
tOrney, William c. Crittenden, for the
arrest of McEnery last week. In court
yesterday McNab threatened to ask the
bar association 10 investigate the mat
ter. and there was a heated exchange
between the lawyers, which, however
was quickly stopped by Judge Trout.
In one Of McEnery's afidavits ii was
stated that the order of arrest was OBJ
tained only with the direct and ma
licious intent to annoy and injure him,
and with the design of forcing him to
pay Mclaughlin $1,000 without author
ity Of court Crittenden is accused OF
having offered TO withhold the order
OF arrest and withdraw the whole pro-
ceeding If McEnery would pay him the
$4,000 for Mclaughlin.
DR.. McEnery says the estate Of his
late wife is ready TO be closed up, ex-
cept that there is due it $4,000 from
the estate Of D. c. Mclaughlin of Utah
but that Andrew c. Mclaughlin is
maliciously obstructing the closing VI
of that estate so as to epbarrass Nc
Emery.
