CASE DISMISSED AS MAIN
EVIDENCE BROKE DOWN
Slovenian Confesses That He Is Un-
certain Whether Fellow Coun-
tryman Actually Shot
at Him

at don't know whether he shot at
me or not" testified Tomica Gagja, a
Slovenian, in the preliminary eXamina-
ton of George Sporan of the same ma
tionality before Justice Summerfield
yesterday on a charge of assault with
deadly weapon.
"Well, if that's the case 1 guess
that the only thing to do is to dismiss
the case" remarked the court, as he
signed the discharge papers. "There
seems to be no case whatever against
the man."
Sporan, according to the complaint
filed by Garja, was alleged to have shot
at the latter the evening of March 10
after an alteration in their quarters
on New High street. The case caused
a sensation among their countrymen,
who crowded the little court room,
giving it the appearance of a Rus
sian tribunal. A few moments on the
stand under fire placed Gagja's testi-
mony in a decidedly negative light, and
with the consent of the prosecuting at
torney the case was dismissed.
Sporan at once proceeded to collect
the $1,000 he had deposited as bail
money, but instead of the rusty coins
he had dug up from their months of
lying in old back yards and out-of-
the-way corners he received shining
gold pieces fresh from the bank.

ALLEGES ROBBERY BY
Her DAUGHTER-iN-LAW
MOTHER BRINGS SUIT AGAINST
SON AS administrators
Asserts Her Trunk Was Rifled and
$1,000 Stolen-Defense Get
Up Is That of Out
laWry

That her daughter-in-law took from
her a sum of money amounting to $1,000
and that the money was never re-
turned is the allegation of Mrs. Kath-
crime Nelson, an aged resident of Coz
ton, who yesterday filed suit for the
recovery of the sum from the estate of
Mary B. Nelson, deceased. The case is
another belonging to the category of
family troubles with which the courts
are filled daily, but the circumstances
are somewhat peculiar, presenting d
situation in which the son, as admins
traitor of his wife's estate. opposes
the prayer of his mother for the return
of the money alleged to have been sto-
len and has retained an attorney to
contest the suit.
The incident leading to yesterdays
action took place in March, 1906, ac-
cording to the terms of the compliant.
At that time the aged am crippled
Mrs. Nelson was residing with her son
and daughter-in-law in their Los An
geles home. There, it is alleged, Mary
B. Nelson took from her mother-in-
laws trunk the sum of money which is
said to be missing. Mrs. Katherine
Nelson states that she did not dis
cover the loss of her little fortune
for several months, but when she found
it gone she demanded that Mrs. Nell
son ir. return it. This was refused,
and later Mary B. Nelson died. John
Nelson was appointed administrator Of
his wife's estate, and the mother.
through Attorney Haas of Haas, Gar
rett & Dunnigan, filed a claim on the
estate for the amount named. The son
refused to allow the claim on the
ground, it is alleged, that it was out
lawed.
Subsequently Attorney Charles S.
BurnelI acting for Mrs. Katherine
Nelson and with the firm already re-
tanned, was authorized by her to file
the suit against the estate. Attorney
Nathan Bunday has been secured by
the defendant to contest the suit, and
a long drawn out legal battle, in which
all the minute details Of the case will
be brought out in an effort to settle
the matter is looked for. The attorneys
for the complainant state that Mrs
Nelson is in dire circumstances and
being physically unable to provide for
her sustenance, is anxious to secure
judgment to provide for her old age.

GRAND JURY MAKES
CHARGES OF FRAUD
Accuses Sacramento Supervis-
Ors of a Want0n Waste of
County's Money
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 21.--Charging
the county supervisors not only with
an extravagant expenditure of county
funds, but with fraud in the awarding
of contracts for supplies, the grand
jury today concluded its years work in
a sensational manner. Figures accom-
panied the charges to show how the
county had been overcharged on con-
tracts.
The report recites that the supervis-
ors are conducting county affairs in a
manner that would soon wreck pri-
vate concern. Among the flaws picked
out was an instance where a road con-
tractor drew pay not only for his con-
tract, but also for acting as road in
spector. The system in awarding con-
tracts for supplies, the report holds,
has driven Sacramento merchants away
from bidding.
A livery bill for ss.577.s5 for the
year, in which partner of super
visor shares literally, is denounced by
the jury. A demand on the officers to
stamp out the malpractice of local
physicians is also made.

RETAIL COAL DEALERS
DENY FORCING PRICES
Declare That Supply Is Unequal
to the Demand

OAKLAND, Dec. 21.-The retail coal
dealers of this city have entered a
vigorous protest against the report
that they are responsible for the ad-
vance in the price of coal.
Some assert that the advance is
directly due to the attitude of whole
sale dealers of San Francisco, who are
alleged 10 be endeayoring to recoup
some of the< losses Of a year ago,
when the coal market broke suddenly
and they were obliged to sell off sur
plus stocks at reduced prices.
Others, among them j. b. Muir, sec
retary of the Oakland retail coal deal
ers association, are more conservative
in their explanation of the present
condition and assert that there is
real scarcity of coal Muir said:
The retail dealers unable TO secure coal
enough TO meet their demands, and | am 1n-
clined TO fear that there is grave danger OF an
other coal famine like that of last year. Al
ready fher@ IS something Ike a famine In CHI
csgo and as result the western mines are
diTerting their output 10 the east and reducing
the supply on the coast. Unless relief comes
from some unexpected source it looks as II IT
would be extremely difficult TO get coal here
during the latter part OF the winter.
The statement that the retail dealers are in
any way responsible for the present condition is
absurd. 1t is impossible for them to get coal
now and | do not Believe that the wholesalers
Of san Francisco have more than 10000 tons In
reserve at present
There are now strikes In the coal mines OF
Aussralia and bad accidents have almost en-
tireis suspended the output in British Columbia.
SO there is a real shortage 1t would not sur
prise me If the wholesalers in view of the
losses which they sustained when the market
raising prices in the face of the existing short
age.

SLABS BROTHER OF
FORMER fIANCFE
Young Berkeley Dentist Resents
Vile Names With Dagger
and Is Jailed

BERKELEY, Dec. 21.-Dr. Ethan w.
Scott, a young South Berkeley dentist.
is booked at the city Jail charged with
carrying a concealed dagger as a re-
suit of a fight last night with E. M.
Brodenstein, brother of Miss Minnie
Brodenstein, a pretty II year old girl
to whom Scott has been paying marked
attention. Brodenstein, who admits
that he provoked the fight in which he
wounds. which were sewed up at the
Roosevelt hospital
He caused Scott's arrest on a charge
of assault with a deadly weapon. but
this charge was dropped and the minor
offense placed against the dentists
name on the detinue book.
Back of the quarrel. which almost
resulted seriously last night, is the
engagemen& which Scott says existed
between him and the sister of Broden-
stein. His first trouble with the fam
lily over his attentions to her was last
October, when he was ARRESTED for dis
turbing the young woman's peace, but
the case was dismissed at Miss Broden-
STEMS requeStl
Since then, according to Doctor Scott.
he has not talked to his former fiancee,
but last night met her brother, who
was engaged in conversation with Leo
Simpson, contractor. at the corner of
Fairview and Adeline streets. Broden-
stein. they both admit. called Doctor
Scott vile names and then struck him
in the face. Simpson is also said to
have had hand in the fight.
Scott drew the dagger and defended
himself by striking Brodenstein be-
hind the ear and on the forehead and
by cutting his coat into ribbons. The
police then interfered and Brodenstein
was taken to the Roosevelt hospital
and Scott to the station.
Just why Scott had the dagger on his
person was not known, nor would he
discuss the case. According to the
Brodensteins his attentions to the girl
have not ceased and this led up to the
trouble last night and Scotts rearrest
today.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WANTS
TO EXTEND NEW LOOP
Would Connect Alameda System
With FruitvaIe Line

ALAMEDA, Dec. 21.-The Southern
Pacific company made formal applica-
tion tonight before the city council
for a franchise for about 400 feet Of
track to extend from the east and loop
of the new electric system to the south
end of High street bridge afross the
Tidal canal. This indicates that the
Southern Pacific company plans to ex-
tend its Alameda system to connect
with the suburban line projected east
of Fruitvale.
The council instructed the city clerk
to take the necessary legal steps to
advertise the franchise for sale, as re-
quired by law. Such an extension as
seems proposed would be followed by
application to the war department for
the use OF the High street bridge.
1t appears that the Southern Pacific
company purposes to use the new elec-
trio system as an outlet for some of
its suburban traffic. Such connection
as is outlined from their application
would give immediate co7nection with
the north side. or Lincoln avenue direct
to Alameda mole.
The city council decided to call q
special election for a bond issue of
$1S0,00o, s150,000 for schools and
$4,000 for a south side sewer. No date
was fixed,
