CHARGES LANDLORD WITH
STEALING FROM LOGGER
Man Several Times Accused Is
Being Investigated by Police

OAKLAND. May 3.-Honore Pons.
proprietor of the Smith lodging house
at s36 Broadway, is held in detinue at
the city prison on the complaint of a
lodger. Louis Strubel of Hayward, who
accuses the landlord of stealing s24.40
last night. The arrest OF the French
lodging house keeper followed a long
list of similar alleged thefts from lodg.
ers and the police are investigating
Pons' activities in the belief that the
prisoner used his lodging house as a
lure to bring persons with a little
money into his reach.
Strubel rented room last night at a
late hour and soon after going to he'd
fell asleep. Early this morning he was
awakened by footsteps near his bed
Rlslns up he saw a man moving to
the door. The intruder explained fhaf
he had brought towels into the room.
but Strubel noticed that his own
clothes had been disturbed.
Following the person into the lighted
hallway, Strubel recognized Pons. and
accused his host. Meeting with EN-
phatic denials, he raised an alarm
which brought Patrolmen McKeegan
and Nefls. At StrubeFs demand the
proprietor of the Smith house was ar
rested.

STRAYDOG TANGLES
COURSE OF JUSTICE
Knotty Legal Problem Presented
When Dispute Arises Over
Ownership

OAKLAND, May 3.-Poundmaste Ju-
Illus label and his much execrated es-
Enlistment became an adjunct to the
police court this afternoon when Po-
lice Judge George Samuels passed over
to him for settlement a peculiarly
knotty tangle which centers about the
disputed ownership of a stray dog.
The abrupt change of venue fol-
lowed a reference to the laws of the
state and city which was preceded by
few hours of testifying by the two
Itigants, and Of argument by two baf-
fed attorneys.
The disputants were William Mach
Ter. living at 80 Laurel avenue, and
Charles c. Wright of 24o1 Piedmont
avenue Maehler averred that the
much desired dog. a Gordon setter. was
his property until last December. He
alleged that he lately found the ami
NAL in Wright's possession, and sued
out search warrant to obtain his pet.
This was the basis of the police court
proceedings of today, which have been
pending for several weeks.
The testimony adduced showed that
James Mack. II years old, a nephew
of Wright, found the dog straying in
East Oakland, and presented the setter
TO his uncle. Then Attorney William
Mcguire, representing Wright, raised
the point that Maehler. the claimant,
had not proved his title. Prosecuting
Attorney Hennessey and Wright went
into an argument, and law books were
produced
This gave Judge Samuels an oppor-
tunity to pass the tangle along by
showing little legal dexterity. He
dug up a COPY of the n1tIniciDal ordf-
nances. in which he discovered a hith-
erto ignored provision relating to the
finding of strays.
That ordinance in part declares that
any person finding stray animal
which is not attached to a vehicle shall
notify the chief of police or the
poundmaster within IL hours. 1t also
stfpulates that animals thus found
shall be taken in charge by the pound
man.
Reading that ordinance. Judge Sam
uels gave his ruling. He put the Cor
don setter in the poundmaster's Gus
tody. and presently the dog wagon was
called for the beast
so far no ownership has been estab-
hshed, Judge Samuels finding himself
unaole to render decree. So 1t will
be necessary for Poundmaster Julius
label TO learn whether whatsoever calls
for the dog is really its owner. Judge
SamueIs and two lawyers were unable
to discover that much.
BESIDES loading trouble on Zabel's
shoulders, the resurrected ordinance
puts James Mack, Wright's nephew. in
trying position. BY the terms of the
ordinance he could be arrested and
hned 500 for not notifying the pound-
man Wnen he found the Gordon setter.

TEMPERAMENT AND DISEASE,
Each Type Is Predisposed to Certain
 Maladies.

The different temperamentS or types of vital action into which mankind is divided are usually reckoned as five, although the classification is not very definiately fixed. Each of these types is distinguished by a predisposition to cetrain maladies and by special mode Of reaction to the poison of the infec- tious- diseases. Those of the lymphatic or phlegmatic temperament-a slug gish and disinclined to exercise, their muscles are soft and flabby, and there is d general absence of tone in the sys- tenn. The diseases from which they suffer are usually those marked by de- bility. and they have often to be keyed up with tonics even when they are not really ill
 Those of the nervous type are of small frame. active in mind and body. light eaters and light sleepers. Their tendency is to diseases of the nervous system. They tire easily after a spurt of work or play. but above all things should resist the temptation to resort to pick -me-ups,' which have fatally good effect for the time being These people need sleep-but must not resort to drugs to get it-and restful vaca- tions
 The jolly people of the sangune tenn perament. with their flord com plexions, their hearty appetites and good dgestions, enjoy life as it comes. The diseases to which they are most liable are gout and premature harden ing of the arteries. with it's consequent heart and kidney troubles and apo pleXy. The means best adapted to ward off these maladies is q restricted diet, especially as regards flesh food, avoid ance of alcoholic beverages, and the drinking of plenty of pure water tol wash away waste materials.
 Persons of the bilious temperament are prone to diseases of the liver, gall stones. intertinal indigestion and con- stpation. They are large consumers of food, but derive little enjoyment from eating. They are often. much benefited by course of dieting and consumption of mineral waters. after the plan developed to a high degree byl the German watering place phy sivians.

was 9 drunkard. man of general bad character, and that he had not only sworn two innocent men into the peni- tentiary but was himself guilty of having stolen valuable property of some kind. tough just what it was is not related. Enough of his misconduct was discovered to move the Graham county authorities to begin search for him. though it has thus far been fruitless.
 When these things became known Judge Lewis immediately directed tne sheriff and district attorney to com pile the data necessary. preliminary to an application to the governor for a pardon, which the judge most heartily endorsed and the governor very cheer fully granted on acquainting himself with the facts. The men have now served six months in the penitentiary and that six months Of lost liberty can never be restored to them. but the promptness with which Judge Lewis and the Graham county officials, as well as the governor, have acted on discovering the wrong done. cannot be commended too highly.
