.CHOYNSKI RESENTS
SLUR ON BRAVERY
Characterizes w. Hoff Cook as
"Dirty, Sneaking Coward
and "Cowardly Cur"
Preliminary Hearing of Joseph
BRAKEMAN for Subornation
of Perjury Closed

The preliminary hearing of Joseph
brachman, charged with subornation of
perjury in connection with the trial of
Gee Gong, a Chinese, for murder, was
enlivened yesterday afternoon by a
passage at arms between Herbert
Choynski, attorney for the defendant,
and Attorney w. Hof Cook, special
prosecutor.
During Lyons cross examination
Tuesday, Choynski saw a button of the
Spanish American war veterans in the
lapel of Lyons coat and obtained an
admission from Loyns that he was not
in good standing, but that he had a
right to wear 1t, as he had bled for his
country
When Lyons cross examination was
concluded yesterday afternoon, Cook
said to Lyons: You were not stationed
watching the barracks at Sausalito. or
the warehouse at the foot of Van Ness
avenue, or Market and Powell streets
watching"
He got no further. as Choynski
jumped to his feet, looking as If he
would attack Cook, and shouted: I've
a good mind to kick somebody's head
on for making suggestions of that kind.
| think anybody that would do that
is dirty, sneaking coward. You
never had the pluck to come forward
and serve your country. L am ready
at all times to do it and have been, and
| say to you, Mr.. Cook, in all sincerity.
L think man who makes a statement
of that kind is a cowardly cur"
Judge Deasy interrupted by remark
ing: Gentlemen. this is all outside the
record"
The reason for this said Cook, sis
that Mr.. Choynski has aspersed this
man and sneered at him, for when he
said he bled for his country for the
button he wore"
And he had no right to wear It,"
interrupted Choynski. II can tell you
that and he can be prosecuted for it,
and L propose to see that he is ar
rested"
The prosecution closed its case with
the testimony of Attorney ]. E. Alex
ander to the effect that he remembered
BRAKEMAN calling at his office in the
Flood building one evening in January
with Lyons. The case was continued
until Saturday morning, when Choyn-
ski will decide whether to put on any
witnesses for the defense.

ONE WEEKS GRACE

Matter Is Promised Attention at
Next Meeting of School
Board

One weeks grace was granted the
pupils of the San Francisco high
schools, who have joined sororities and
fraternities since the passage of the
law prohibiting such action, through
the leniency of School Directors Payo,
and Whelan at the meeting of the
board of education held yesterday
President Bannerman and Mrs. Kin
caid, the other directors, wanted to
suspend the recalcitrant pupils at once
Bannerman introduced a resolution
suspending them forthwith. But the
motion was lost, owing to Payot and
Whelan's votes.
Payot introduced an amendment to
the Bannerman resolution providing
that all pupils who had not resigned
from their Greek letter societies by
Wednesday, April 20, should be sus-
pended.
This failed to carry Then Payot
said that on next Wednesday he would

Annapolis with Senator Hale of Maine
on one occasion Moody, then secretary
of the navy, was thrown out of his car
riage when the horses ran away and
was severely shaken up. When he had
reached the stage of convalescence,
President Roosevelt called upon him at
his apartment one night to- see how he
was. Moody was engaged in social
game of cards in back room.
Is the secretary in?" inquired Presf-
dent Roosevelt

said the butler.

Moody, recognizing the voice of the

A year ago the chief justice fooled a
Washington lawyer who had been in
the habit of playing the stock market
on supreme court decisions, and he did
it in such neat manner that even the
court attaches have not yet been able
to figure out whether the justice knew
what was going on or not. They pre-
sumo, however, that Chief Justice
Fuller was using his eyes to good
purpose and deliberately. blocked the
game.
When the Consolidated Gas case
from New York city was decided in
favor of the people at previous sit
ting of the court habitues of the court
room noticed the lawyer in question

heard ordering his. brokers to sell 900
shares of gas stock for him at once.
The result of the deal was a net profit
to the lawyer of $4,000. The next day.
every body about the courtroom knew
of the speculation and its outcome.
A few days later the gas company
filed a petition for a rehearing. The
lawyer, being well acquainted with the
decisions of the court, recalled one re-
lating to southern water company
which seemed to be on all fours with
the gas case To make certain he was
right. however he attended court. in
tending to use the telephone again If
the court decided as he thought it
would He listened all day without
hearing a word. AS he left the court
room late in the afternoon, when the
stock market had closed, he heard that
the petition had been denied; but the
announcement, instead OF being made
from the bench, had been handed to
the chief clerk by Chief Justice Fuller
and the former had carefully sum-.
moned the newspapermen to his pri-
vate Office and given them the informa-
ton to be sent to the newspapers.
What the lawyer said about the coup
would not look well in print.
Although the fact is not generally
known, it is nevertheless true that It
was Chief Justice Fuller who put a
stop to the Roosevelt propaganda for
phonetic spelling so far as his co-ordi-
nate branch of the government was
concerned. One day Solicitor General
Henry M. Hoyt made the opening argu-
ment to the supreme court in land
case BY the order Of President Roose-
velt, all documents printed for the
executive departments were spelled
phonetically On this occasion, Chief
Justice Fuller happened to pick up the
brief in the case which had been sent
from the department of justice to the
government printing Office. The first

thing that struck his eye was a re-
ported literal quotation from a decision
of the late Justice Bradley, In which
the word through had been spelled
thru"
do understand you to say that this
purports to be literal quotation from
the opinion of Justice Bradley" said
Chief Justice Fuller, sarcastically, to
Hoyt. who caught the burden of Jus
tice Fuller's objection without further
ado and promised that the mistake"
would not be repeated again.
Shortly afterward the house of repre-
sentatives plucked up the courage to
vote down phonetic spelling in the
legislative branch of the government,
and thereafter President Roosevelt,
although sticking to 1t himself, per-
mitted his suberdinates~to spell as they
pleased.
Vigorous Justice Holmes
OF the two New England members of
the court, Justices Moody and Holmes,
it Is said of the latter that he has
taken his fathers brilliant career so
much to heart he has made himself
pretty much unlike his sire in looks
and in the polish of his manners. Close
friends of Justice Holmes are authority
for the statement that whenever he
SAYS anything in public aof extraor-
binary wit or humor an expression
passes over his face which seems to
say: Gee whizl that sounds too much
like father. I must not do that again
Nevertheless. Mr.. Holmes is perhaps
the freest and easiest talker> from the
bench of any ofAhis collea CUES. and he
is noted as a most vigorous talker in
private conversation when he is on a
subject in which he is deeply interested.
Not long ago an artist of national
repute, who was painting his picture.
happened to tell Justice Holmes that a
friend had lost his wife shortly after
the birth of their child and that the
wife's parents insisted that the baby
should be turned over to their care to
raise.
II would see them in hell first" Jus
tice Holmes is reported to have said.
The artist noting the presence of Mrs.
Holmes in the room, turned to her with
a shocked expression on his face, as
though he expected to hear gentle
rebuke from that quarter.
$50 would l." demurely replied Mrs.
Holmes. showing the greatest possible
faith in the decision Of her husband
The pages Of the senate have great
respect for Holmes.
