GRAY BROTHERS IN
DANGER OF PRISON
Alleged to Have Violated Judges
Order Prohibiting Tele-
graph Hill Blasting
Contractors Are Cited to Ap=
pear to Answer Charge of
Contempt of Court

Af1idavits from numerous persons
living on Telegraph hill, filed in Judge
Murasky's court yesterday. declaring
that Gray Brothers had recommended
blasting below Calhoun street and
thereby violated-<an injunction re-
straining them from doing so, resulted
in contempt of court proceedings.
Should they be unable to give a salts
factory explanation to the court there
Is strong possibility of the Gray
brothers being sent to jail. They have
been cited to appear to show cause
why they should not be punished
This firm said City Attorney
Long, lis absolutely INSCRIPTIONS in
Its dealings. This time, however, we
believe We have sufficient proof to
show they have been fragrant in their
violation of the law and we will push
the case"
Residents of Telegraph hill have
| long endeavored to prevent blasting
of the hill, one of the contentious
being that it was destroying the sub
lateral supports of Calhoun street.
Last March Judge Murasky made per-
manent an injunction restraining Gray
Brothers from further blasting in that
vicinity.
July 5 the residents of the neigh
borhood heard an exceptionally loud
report. The first theory was that the
big guns at the Presidio were being
| fired in celebration of independence
day. The theory was, however rapidly
| dispelled, as the report was followed
by shower of stones and rocks about
| the roofs and houses on top of the
| hill
| Within a few minutes mob of men
and women was rushing down the hill,
| to find band of workmen for Gray
Brothers rapidly harvesting the scat
tered rock. The workmen broke and
ran without parley, leaving the resi-
dents masters of the field u
! Complaints by the score followed and
a brief investigation by the city at
torney's Office resulted in Assistant
City Attorney Steinhart bringing the
tmatter to the attention of Judge Mu-
rasky. yesterday.
We have sufficient proosn said
Steinhart, Ito show there has been a
| fragrant violation of the order of the
court and it is the intention of this Of
/ flee to deal with the case as sternfy
as we are permitted to do

Concerning Two Sounds.

When Joseph Henry Lumpkin was
chief justice of Georgia a case was
brought up from Columbus in which n
wealthy citizen asked for an injunc-
tion to prevent the construction of a
planning mill across the street very
near bis palatial residence. His grounds
for complaint consisted chie1y In the
proposition that the MOIST OF the mill
would wake him too early in the morn
ing.
LET the mill be built" said the chief
justice in rendering his decision. Let
its wheels be put In motion. The prog
ress Of machinery must not be stopped
to suit the whims or the fears of any
man. Complainant's fears are imagi-
nary. The sound of the machinery will
not be a nuisance. On the contrary, it
will prove II lullaby. Indeed. | know
of but two sounds in all nature that IL
man cannot become reconciled to. and
they are the braying of an ass and the

M arriaqe.

Marriage if not carried to excess
is a wise provision and sacred obli-
cation. Marry your opposite as far
as possible, especially as regards
sex. You will never regret it. If
possible marry above your station.
Both of you should do this. 1t is
sure to advance your race. Do not
marry foreigner unless highly
recommended by those in whom
you have perfect confidence or un-
less you want to very much indeed.
Do not encourage long engage
ments. 1t is better to get weary of
each other at your leisure after
marriage than to do j beforehand.
Courtship, however, is most de-
lightful industry and should not be
rashly broken in upon by marriage.
Some people seem to be admirably
fitted for suitors, bat fail in other
occupations. This is very fortunate
indeed. No suitor can be sure of
permanent situation. The supply
greatly exceeds the demand.-Ex-
change.

Poulticed With Mud.

A noted explorer recently returned
from central Africa tells of IL unique
method employed by his companions
and himself to alleviate the dreadful
agony of prolonged thirst. In parts Of
the dark continent there are great
stretches of country where no water
fit to drink is to be found although
there are here and there pools of thick,
stagnant mud. In such country the
party wandered for FIVE days without
water and might have perished but for
an idea that occurred to their leader.
Following his advice and example,
they collected the stagnant mud wher-
ever it was to be found and made it
into long poultices. which they fas-
tened round their bodies next the skin
This simple process they found to give
great reief.-London Answers.

Insurance came from medieval Italy

did not know insurance. The nearest
they came to it was the practice of a

was soon abandoned. because damages
had been collected for sunken ships
