OMAN ACCUSED
TO POLICE BOARD
Heney Files Complaint Charg=
ing Unbecoming Conduct by
Chief Under Schmitz

Jeremiah F. Dinan. chief of police
under the Schmitz regime, will have
to stand trial before the police COM
missioners on March IL on a charge of
conduct unbecoming an officer the
complaining witness being Francis j.
Heney, who filed the complaint yes
terday.
Heney says that Dinan testified be-
fore the grand jury November %, 1906,
that he did not prevent the opening of
Andrieu's crib, 712 Pacific. street, be-
cause he did not know it had been
opened till Father Caraher came to
him a week previous and complained to
him about 1t. whereas he did know it
had been opened from reports made to
him by Policemen Frank McQuaid and
]. E. Reade through Captain John B.
Martin.
Dinan ranks in the department as a
corporal, but was suspended by the
late Chief Biggy, November 25, 1907,
pending the result OF his trial in the
superior court on the Indictment for
perjury arising out of the same testi-
mony.
Dinan was served with a copy of
the charges yesterday afternoon at po-
lice headquarters. He said that al
that time he was worried about the
gaspipe murders and overlooked the
fact that the place was open until
Father Caraher spoke to him, but he
sent an order to Captain Martin to
have 1t closed and it was closed that
night.

new GRAND JURY
IN FIRST SESSION
Tomalty Case Reopened and In
quisitors Hear Evidence
Against Accused

The old wine Of the James Tomalty
case was poured into the new bottles
of the Scott grand jury yesterday when
the fresh inquisitorial body held its
initial session. The investigation was
into the aHeged alteration of records
of the city treasury by Tomalty who
was book keeper during the regime of
City Treasurer C. A. Bantel. The
original Indictment returned against
Tomalty was declared defective by the
superior court on the ground that it
did not distinctly specify whether To-
malty was an officer or an employe un-
der the city government, and further
more, because it did not specify which
ngure % In the number 1906" was al
tered by the accused. The district at
torney's office asserts that Tomalty
changed the entry "$605" to read
S5,605'' in the bail bond fund record.
Tomalty himself was subpenaed yes
terday and he will testify when the
jury meets today, unless, on advice of
counsel he decides to remain silent.
Two attorneys, Stephen Costello and
Colonel Choynski visited him in the
anteroom of the jury yesterday.
Other new witnesses under subpoena
are Fred Winter, who was receiving
teller In the treasury Office, and Police
Judge d. c. Deasy, who was head of the
bond and warrant clerks Office during
the time about which Tomalty is said
to have altered the records. Deasy
was witness yesterday and testified
that on April II, 1906. the day of the
alleged altered entry, there was not a
charge of $5,605 made against the bail
bond fund.
Other witnesses examined yesterday
were d. Davis. former receiving teller
and later paying teller in Bantel's of
fee, and Theodore Kytka, the hand
writing expert, and Lester Herrick, the
accountant who exported Tomalty's
books. Frank j. Lorigan, who was as
sistant book keeper under Tomalty
will be examined today.
The jury adjourned to meet today al

portunity to look into this matter, but
nothing concerning the complaint was
found in the company-s records.

General Manager Black of the United
Railroads declared to the supervisors
public utilities committee yesterday
that the company would never agree
to the proposed regulation that con-
ductors refund fares or give checks to
passengers kept waiting more than five
minutes by tieups of cars.
"A lot of our platform men are so
dishonest" said Black, they would
give ont half the checks given them
and turn in the rest later as fares re-
ceived."
Black agreed TO put in use on the
San Mateo line within the next six
weeks some one Of the new tenders
and perhaps to extend the experiment
10 the Mission street cars. but said
that the steep grades on most long
lines would preclude the general use Of

R. P. Busard Tells Tale of

PROPERTY IS DAMAGED

Nuisance committed by boys
Minister Hardly Able to get In,

are Plastered With Mud.

When a widow and a widower were
united in marriage on Scioto street
last week, the small boys of the vi
cinlty became pretty well arous-
ed over the matter and in belling
the couple the house in which the
knot was tied was almost wrecked
AS a result of the affair r. p. Busard
the west-end coal dealer, who is the
owner of the house appeared in the
police court this morning with the
names of the young men and asked
to prefer charges against them.
The wedding, which was OF more
than usual interest in the vicinity
was performed under difficulties and
although the date had been kept a
secret the small boys were present
before the minister arrived and In
order to enter the home he was com.
PEELED TO leap over boxes, junk of all
descriptions and climb a wire fence
which had been strung about the
house. Materials of all kinds had
been heaped upon the front porch.
Before the ceremony was performed
all of the windows were plastered
with mud, the front walk broken up
and removed and entrance gained
into the cellar where If a wrench
could have been. found the gas would
have been turned of thus leaving the
wedding party in the dark. This was
not all for when the minister at
tempted TO leave the home for an
other engagement he found himself
locked in and unable to get out but
finally succeeded in making his exit
via window.
Mr.. Busard says this manner OF
"belling" couple is carrying things
too far and he appeared before Mayor
scherff this morning with a view 10
having the boys arrested. 1t develop
ed that the majority of the boys nam
ed by Mr.. Busard are under sixteen
years Of age and so the matter was
turned over to Probate Judge Spencer

Twenty years aso, Rev. C.. w.
Bernhard, now of Cleveland, but
at that time pastor of the local
church, organized the Harmonic So

cation was three-fold: To labor in
the interest of missions; to minister
to the sick and needy, and to pro-
mote the social phase OF the church
Since that time It has been one OF
the strong factors in every effort,
spiritual or financial, attempted by
the congregation, and has increased
its roster from fourteen to forty,
all devoted to the advancement of
church interests and influence.
The society was fortunate enough
to have present last evening the
founder, Rev. C. w. Bernhard, who
delivered an address replete with
"reminiscences and the possibilities of
the future in the Christian field for
a body Of this kind. Rev. Bernhar-
dis words were both pertinent and
inspirational, and we're followed by
congratulatory speeches by Mrs. J.
Blaioh, president Of the Ladies
Aid society and Miss Lulu Keller, of
the Young Peoples society.
There were many warm hand
clasps of greeting and congratulation

endeavors of members in their flu
ture work. The present officers to
whom the success of the celebration
Is largely due are Mrs. Laura Lef-
