that. i.e felt a mans hand in his
pocket but in the crowd that surg

identify the person who took the
purse.
1t is believed That there is a
professional pickpocket in Taco

Two men lost pocketbooks on the

police have received several recent
reports of similar offenses. The
man Is evidently an artist in his

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-
he was ready to begin the second
trial of Patrick Calhoun, presi-
dent of the United Railroads, on
the charge of bribing ex-Super-
visor Nicholas, without delay, Spe-
cial Prosecutor Francis j. Heney
today presented a motion in court
asking that the case be called to-
morrow.
The motion was bitterly contest-
ed by the defense, and most OF to-
days sessions of Judge Lawlor.s
court was occupied in listening to
the contentious of the opposing
lawyers.
Charging Judge Lawlor with
bias and stating that Heney had
never been legally appointed as
sistant district attorney of San
Francisco, A. A. Moore, attorney
for the defense, demanded that he
be given sufficient time in which
to get rulings on these points.

that he intended to bring about a

said his health was. sufficiently
good to carry him through anoth-

that he did not intend that the

dropped.
When Heney made his motion
Moore arose, declaring that Judge
Lawlor had plainly demonstrated
bias and that the defense had NOT
been given fair trial. He said
Heney was assistant attorney gen.

KICKING BECAUSE
GRADING ISN'T
DONE

A big kick Is coming from the
Fourth ward over the delay OF
the contractor in getting McKin-
ley avenue graded from Forty
third street to the city limits.
This contract was let to G. N. Gill
several weeks ago, but up to date
he has done little more than
blast out stumps.
Councilmen say they will not
stand for any extension of time,
and unless Gill gets busy 1t is
likely the city will refuse to ex-
tend the time and will call on his
bondsmen to make good the work.

Say Women Can Dress on
$4,000 q Year Easily


CHICAGO, June 21.-Chi-
cago women today, discussing
the testimony of Mrs. Kath-
crime Clemmons Giuld given
in her suit for separate main
tenance, have come to the
conclusion that a society
woman of taste and brains
can be decently clothed at an
average expenditure of $4,000
a year. This is in the face of
the fact that Chicago wom-
en-, though quite as well
gowned as those of New York,
do not have such extensive
wardrobes.
"The amount of $4,000 seems
to me to be absurd" said Mrs
H. G. Chattfield-Taylor. There i,
not a woman in Chicago wht
pends anything like as much, will

mer.
"If a woman has taste, discrim
mates and uses her brains regard

tifully dressed for $4,000 a year

Sunday Letter to my Mother

Sunday is mothers day, and every man or
boy away from home is expected to write to his
mother There are some mothers with missing
sons who will watch in vain for the postman.
To them this letter is addressed. 1t is what their
own boys would write-Editor
My Dear Mother:
When was a little boy and was soiled by
play or was hurt, came to you. sure of the love
cure my pain.
Now the world has stained me with its Bit
ter game. am hurt in habit and in fame, and
turn to you sure of love and comfort
the little boy who sobbed his troubles at your
knee.
I have not done the best with the life you
gave me. have done bad things and good
things too often have neglected. but never, no
matter what my stress or my fault. have for
gotten your love and how much owe to it.
My silence must have panied you. I can
you in the old home waiting word of your absent
boy. hoping against hope for his welfare, and
sure in your perfect mother faith that your son
must be brave and good. The long, long wait
ing has hurt you and it hurts me. too. Do you
think any man forgets his mother? 1t Is not 20.
When he lets himself drop out of her life IL Is
because he knows that news of him will be worse
even than the agony of waiting. The pain it gives
me to pain my mother is one of the things, and
the bitterest one, that make up the price pay for
my way of life.
Nor would you take to yourself any blame
for me. If had been what you made me could
come to you. 1t is what have made myself
that keeps me away. Every mother gives so
much of good to her sons-no man ever sinks
low that all that is fine and clean and brave
in him is lost. In the very lowest some traces
still remain, and to his mother he owes II that
he is not worse than he is.
The boy you waiting for may never
come. It is best perhaps he should not. But
every day of his life he thinks of you, and he
hopes you remember him the little chap who
kneeled down at your side to say his evening
prayer as he never forgets the kindly face and
the tender smile that went with him to his
dreams
Goodby mother mine and remember in
spite of all, love you.
YOUR GROWN UP LITTLE BOY.
