PARTNER OF ARSON
George II. Perry Asks Police
to Find Man He Saw Set
ting Fire to Flats

tale of threats to kill and arson
Perry of S17 Rhode Island street swore
to a complaint before Police Judge
Conlan charging r. A Cunningham
with arson. Detectives are searching
the city for Cunningham at the re-
quest of Fire Marshal Towe.
WE'RE ONCE PARTNERS
Perry and Cunningham were part
ners in a saloon at 111a Stockton
street, but it was an Improbable Ven
ture and they dissolved partnership,
Cunningham claiming that Perry owed
him S300 Cunningham went to Raw
hide and Perry went to live in shack
at S17 Rhode Island street. He and
II. w. Baker entered into a partnership
to erect two flats in front of the shack
and Baker lived in the shack with
Perry.
Perry says that Cunningham returned
from Rawhide on Wednesday and
called at his shack. Cunningham. with
out any preface, pulled revolver out
of his pocket ami, thrusting the muzzle
into Perrys face, demanded the $500
or he would kill him. Perry temporized
with him, telling him he did not have
S3DU ndhuy. Dut TO wait Tor n day or
so and it would be forthcoming. Cum
ningham went away muttering threats.
ATTEMPT AT ARSON
Il was excited over my encounter
with Cunningham" said Perry, land
was unable TO sleep that night. | got
out of bed about half-past / o'clock
yesterday morning. and on looking out
of the window saw the shadow of
man at the flats. l saw the man pour
something from a bottle on a saekful
of shavings, and l reused Baker and
we both watched the man, who struck
a match. We could see by the light
that the man was Cunningham. He set
fire to the sackful of shavings
and. pulling a revolver out of his
pocket. leyeled it at the shack.
but did not fire. Then he walked away.
We were afraid to come out of the
shack for a few minutes till we
thought he would not see US, and when
we got outside we soon extinguished
the fire."

She SAYS: THE distress which
have experienced in watching
successive groups of pretty girls
supposed to be we'll born and re-
fined, as they gathered eagerly
about a piano to listen to one OF
their number while she degraded
a fine instrument by the produc-
tion of ragtime, has compelled
me. to think very seriously upon
these questions. One can easily
see that the Cecilian Pianos are
just as legitimate successors to the
ordinary piano as the piano to the
harpsichord, or the harpsichord to
the shepherds pipe.
q have come to believe that an
instrument like the Cecilian piano
can do for the fine art of music
more than photography has done
for the fine art of painting, sculp-
ture and architecture.
AS artists of the brush have been
spurred to a new conception of
truthfulness as applied to their art
by the accuracy with which the sun
tells the story of light and shade, SO
will the performer on the piano
acquire an accuracy and pre-
cision hitherto unknown as he OBJ
serves and emulates the perfect
mathematical precision of the
Cecilian
Il beg fathers and mothers who
want to give their children a
musical culture to purchase for
them a Cecilian piano, since find
this to be the furthest developed,
the most useful, the most re-
sourceful, the most susceptible to
guidance.
DO not turn the instrument over
to them with SO many rolls OF
music and let them regard it mere

COURT TAKES CASE
UNDER ADJUSTMENT
Judge Seawell Hears Argument
ON United Railroads Plea
for Permanent Writ
Calhoun Attorneys Rely on
Technicalities to Shut Off
Pursuit of Stolen Papers

Superior Judge Seawell yesterday
took under advisement the plea of the
United Railroads for a permanent writ
Of prohibition against Police Judge
Deasy in the Calhoun search warrant
cases. Arguments were made by At
torneys W. II. Metson. ]. A. Mackenzie
and W. II. Orrick for the United Rail
roads. and by Assistant District Attor-
ney Robert Harrison for the people.
The contention was based entirely on
legal technicalities.
ATTACK COURT JURISDICTION
The United Railroads attorneys at
tackled the jurisdiction of the police
court on the ground tnat four war
rants had been issued for the same
property and on an affidavit based upon
information and belief Assistant
District Attorney Harrison, however,
pointed out that in the warrant at Is
sue, the one directed against the
United Railroads offices in the Balboa
building. the complaining affidavit had
stated in unqualified language that the
stolen papers were there located.
MORE PROSECUTIONS
1--WE couldn't base prosecution
against Burns the way that affidavit
was drawn, said Metson.
No therell be no prosecuting of
Burns" sharply retorted Harrison.
Not with you TO draw such affi-
davits." said Metson, lamely
But there'I be plenty of other pros
.ecutions,' continued Harrison, with
meaning.
Metson attempted no other sIurs.
Harrison argued that the police judge
had acted as magistrate in the. is
suance of the search warrants and that
he derived his power for this direct
from the constitution through subsi
diary enactment of the Legislature.
Masses of legal citations were pre-
sented by both sides.
I'll take the case under submission"
announced Judge Seawell, after more
than an hour of argument.

ly as a mechanical toy on level
with the musical box of our faith
ers. Rather let them understand
that the instrument is provided to
unlock for them the masterpieces
of melody from every nation in the
world, and that by a study of the
productions of the great composers
and by an analytical examina-
tion of the musical structure of
their works they can learn the ele-
ments and beauties of correct COM
position.
"A child can learn more by
repeated listening to one of
Mendelssohn' Lieder than by
hundred hours practice of The
Battle of Prague
II can not too strongly advise
mothers anxious to develop the
musical intelligence of their little
ones to examine the educational
advantages of one of these instru-
ments.
Let them purchase a Ce-
Gillian piano, place it in their
homes and give their children to
understand that its use constitutes
q privilege and reward"
We leave our readers to draw
their own conclusions. Mrs. Sewall
has become converted to the Ce-
Gillian because of the educational
possibilities it possessed.
There are thousands of people
who still think that Player Pianos
are mechanical, and until they per-
NIT some one to demonstrate in a
practical manner the true musical
possibilities of an up to date player
they will remain with this greatly
wrong impression

Early is perfectly agreeable TO- the

is confident that when he gets to

that he is not a victim of the dread
leprosy. The Public Health and

the consent of health authorities for
the passage of the box car through
Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania

that Early is not n 1eper his WAL

EARLY claims that his disease was
caused by acid used in the Southern
paper mills, and Deputy Warden
Dawson of the Federal Prison at
Moundsdale, w. Va, has partially
confirmed this belief by whiting that
he has seen many similar to
Early's and due to poisoning by
acids. Captain Dawson declares that
he would not be afraid to sleep with
