APPEAL OF GLASS
ARGUED ON BRIEFS
Three Principal COntenders
Furnished in Submitting
Case to Court

Argument on the appeal OF Lcuis
Glass. vice president and former gen
eral manager Of the Pacific telephone
and telegraph company from his con-
viction on the charge OF bribing for
mer Supervisor Thomas Lonergan was
heard yesterday by the district court
of appeals. and the case was submitted
on briefs. Assistant District Attorney
O'Gara appeared for the people. the
appellant being represented by Attor-
neys T. c. Coogan and c. w. Cross.
Three principal contentious furnish
the grounds Of argument: First, that
the evidence in the case was insult
cient to justify the verdict OF guilty;
second. that the Indictment was faulty.
and. third. that error was committed
by the trial court in admitting certain,
evidence and refusing to give certat1
instructions 10 the jury.
CLOSING ARGUMENT REPEATED
The argument relative to the sum
cheney of the evidence occupied the
larger part OF the time allowed for the
presentation of the case and brought
out a recital on each side OF most OF
the salient features as made out on
trial The argument OF the attorneys
representing Glass was almost identi-
cal with the closing argument in his
behalf at the trial. being based on the
premise that there was no positive evil
denee to show that Glass himself
authorized the payment of the bribe
and that it might have been author
lied without his knowledge by some
other official Without making a a.
rect accusation there was an endeavor
to shift the blame to the shoulders OF
F. A. Pickernell. the representative OF
President Fish of the American Bell
telephone company. who was In San
Francisco at the time the Doodle ar
rangements were completed. z J.
Zimmers name was used in the same
connection. ii being averred BY Glass
attorneys that his refusal to testify
should have been considered a strong
point in favor Of Glass
O'Gara went at some length into the
testimony as shown by the record,
combating all the claims made by the
appellants that il was weak in it's gen.
eral trend toward proving the guilt OF
Glass. Cross closed the argument for
Glass. but the attorneys were limited
to brief discussions Of the case and
the final decision will hinge largely on
the arguments IN the briefs.

GIiddon Will Take No Action

De Putron Gliddon, when intervie ed
at the Fairmont last night, said:
Il am not contemplating any action
against young Lamberton for threat
ening my life. He was released yester-
day, understand, as no charge was
preferred against him.
His statements concerning me are
absolutely false. Who could believe a
person who was so base as to make
such charges as he has against his
mother, even supposing, for the sake of
argument, that they were true?
i. met Mrs. Lamberton at Del Monte
while l was inspecting the hotel and
grounds for an English syndicate
which was anxious to place a figure on
1T, when 1t was reported the hotel was
for sale
Mrs. Lamberton judged from my oc-
cupation and commission that l was
the person who could assist her in
looking after and place in business
shape her own holdings. The charge
that l was attempting to influence Mrs.
Lapberton against her son is ridicu-
loqs. The young man, besides has
nothing to expect from Mrs. Lamber-
ton. In the divorce papers 1t was
stipulated that Lamberton should act
as the guardian of the son, Mrs Lam
berton acting in similar capacity
for the daughter.
Lamberton Sr. has money and can
well afford to look after his SON."
Mrs. Lamberton was at the Fairmont
hotel during the day, but did not take
apartments Gliddon said that she was
unstrung and on the verge of nervous
collapse by reason of the affair in the
Key Route inn and was seeking rest
and seclusion.

RICH MANS SON
FREED BY JUDGE
Young Lamberton Fails to Get
Bail, but Is Permitted to
Leave Jail

OAKLAND. Jan 1S.--William w.
Lamberton Jr., the wisconsin mil
lionaire's son who passed two days and
nights in the city jail after his ar
rest at the Key Route hotel for dis
turbing the peace. gained his freedom
this afternoon. Police Judge Smith,
before whom he had been taken In the
morning, ordered the young mans re-
lease on his own recognizance, eau
tioning Lamberton to appear in the
court again tomorrow morning.
If no complaint has been filed by that
time by De Putron Gliddon, the Eng
lishman who caused Lambertons ar
rest. the case will be stricken from the
court calendar. Lamberton professed
his gratitude at being freed, but has
not lost his rancor toward Gliddon.
Mrs. Gladys Lamberton, who called
Gllddon TO her aid wnen her son was
hurting the remonstrances that caused
the arrest, left the hotel today. Gid
don left at the same time and both went
to the >Fairmont in San Francisco. 1t
was bru1ted around that the manage
mento had ordered the man and the
woman to leave because Of the expose
by the irate son. but Henry Barker the
hotel lessee. denied this.
Young. Lamberton denied today that
his father was his guardian, as alleged
by his mother yesterday.

ASK AID FOR DESTITUTE
ORPHANS, FIRE VICTIMS
Clothes and Money Urgently
Needed for Children


A disastrous fire at the orphanage
farm conducted by the Salvation Army
at Lytton Springs has made it impera-
tive that the appeal be made without
delay for donations of clothes and
money for the destitute children. AS a
result Of the fire last Friday evening
many many OF the children are without a
nome, and more than 81 900 is needed
at once to rebuild the cottage, that was
completely destroyed by fire.
Ihere are about 200 children in care
or the institution and the necessity for
housing the little workers Is urged
upon the public, which doubtless will
respond generously to the call for as
slstance. The farm is an industrial in
stltution and the. boys are trained for
farming, dairying and poultry raising
The recent fire has left many of these
lads without suitable shelter, and the
request for help is sent out as an ur-
gent appeal for immediate assistance.
:, The farm is in charge of Major and
Mrs. G. w. Bourne. who, with their as
slstants. will receive any donations
that are offered for the help of the de-
pendent boys

The San Francisco call., 1909-01-19

The question of whether or not San
Francisco needs more superior judges
was discussed at length by the judges
at their meeting yesterday afternoon.
The matter was introduced by the
moving Of the following resolution by
Judge Dunno:
Resolved. that. in the opinion of
the judges of the superior court of
the city and county of San Fran
CISCO the business of the court OF
this city and county can be eff
ciently transacted by the present
judges, and that at this time no in
crease in the number of judges is
necessary or desirable; further,
1t is
Resolved, that a copy of this
resolution be sent to the members
of the state senate and assembly
now meeting in regular session at
Sacramento"
The vote on the resolution was tie
nve to five-Judges Seawel1. Dunno,
Corey, Graham and Lawlor voting
yes" and Judges Mogan, Van Nos
trand, Cabaniss. Trout and Sturtevant
no
In the course of the discussion some
interesting views were educed. Judge
Lawlor stated that he was opposed to
the appointment of additional judges
and said the proper remedy for the
congestion was the amendment of the
laws so that the time of the courts
could not be wasted as II now is. Many
working hours. he said. were taken up
listening to motions for continuance,
applications for extensions of time, the
reading of affidavits and other dilatory
tactics designed to postpone the trial Of
cases. Judge Lawlor favored the adop-
tion of laws by the legislature that
would have the effect of forcing liti-
gants to try their causes within rea-
sonable time.
Judge Coffey expressed similar views.
He thought that If judges would expe-
dfte the trial of causes the courts
would not find themselves overworked
Judges Sturtevant and Trout both
strongly urged the necessity for addi-
tional judges No matter how hard he
worked or how he endeavored to push
attorneys to trial in his court. there
was always congestion, Judge Trout
said. Judge Sturtevant read the record
of cases assigned during his term as
presiding judge, and said that il was
impossible to keep abreast of the new
business initiated.
Other judges expressed the view that
1T was not the province of the bench to
make suggestions to the legislature and
opposed the motion on that ground.
The tie vote on the resolution had the
effect of tabling il, and no action such
as that suggested by Judge Dunno will
be taken.
The judges absent from yesterdays s
were Judge Hunt. who is i'll
and Judge Murasky, who was busy in
the Newburgh trial
