Berkeley Supervisor Finds Fault
With Cost of Installing Vot=
ing Booths

OAKLAND, Aug. ST am not afraid
of you, you can't bulldoze me in spite
of the gang of bullies you have about
YOU"
Supervisor F. W. Foss with these
words ended today's episode in his feud
with Supervisor Joseph NJ. Kelley at
todays meeting of the board OF super
visors. The two supervisors have
clashed almost every week for months.
Foss' objection to bills against the
county for installing voting booths for
the primary election was the cause of
the clash. He said that 20 men had
been employed in the basement of the
hall of records to move out the frame
work of voting booths and that no
such numbeg were needed. He held
Kelley responsible for employing them.
Kelley had been warned that the
attack was coming, and he was ready
with figures to show that it cost the
county S13 to install each booth, with
five compartments, whereas it cost the
city government $40 for each booth
with only three compartments. He re-
ferred to the city officials as political
allies of the Berkeley supervisor, and
said that Foss was making a cheap
play to the gallery by his criticism.
His statement brought forth from
Foss the angry charge that Kelley,
who is running for reelection, was
doing politics with his appointments,
and he finished his remarks with a
defiance of Kelley.

BEFORE TRIBUNAL
Liberation of Murderer Brings
Him to Supreme Court in
Certiorari Proceedings

Superior Judge J. w. Hughes of Sac
ramento appeared yesterday before the
supreme court to show cause why a
writ of certiorari should not be issued
against him for granting liberty from
Folsom prison to Fred Horning, a con-
fessed murderer, on a writ of habeas
corpus last May.
Chief Justice Beatty ordered that
briefs be filed within Is DAYS. the
case to be submitted September 6. Dis
trict Attorney J. d. Fredericks of Los
Angeles submitted the petition and il
was presented by John c. North, assist
ant district attorney of Los Angeles
and Deputy Attorney General Van
Fleet.
The proceedings were quietly per-
formed and only occupied a few min
utes. Garret McEnerney, representing
Judge Hughes, filed a demurrer to the
petition.
Fred Horning, after his arrest in Los
Angeles, confessed to the killing OF
Cesar Vervoort in December of 1905
He was sentenced to ii years in Fol-
som. His attorney applied for a writ
of habeas corpus on the ground of a
clerical mistake in the date of the kill
ing and Judge Hughes granted it, Re-
Gently Horning was rearrested and re-
turned to Folsom, where he is being
held pending the outcome of the case
against Judge Hughes.
The petition reads: 'If such an ir-
responsible order, based on no law, nc
authority or wisdom, may be made by
judge after competent court makes
final judgment, our criminal process is
of no avail"

Owing to recent illness of E. ]. Nc

board of supervisors from collecting
the water rate passed by them, the ar
gument was continued yesterday until
September 26 in the United States cir

tion to a continuance from City Attor-
ney Percy V. Long that further delay
was allowed by United States District
Judge Edward S. harrington of Nevada.
who had come from Carson City to sit
in the case.
An affidavit in opposition to the con-
tinuance was made by Deputy City At
torney Thomas E. Haven. In this sworn
statement was the length of time al
ready consumed in the trial of the case.
Testimony was first taken in the case
in August of 1904, and was completed
in December of the following year. The
record. consisting of thousands of
pages, was destroyed in the fire of
1906. 1t was thought that all this work
would have to be done again, but a
copy of the record was found among
the private papers of John H. Dock
weller, an engineer, who had appeared
at the hearings for the people. and his
copy was admitted in place of the one
that was destroyed
Attorney Haven then drew attention
to the fact that a final hearing had
been decided on as far back as Decem-
ber 10 of last Year and had dragged
along until the present time. He in
sisted that it was high time that the
water consumers of the city knew how
they stood relative to the rate of water.
Attorney McCutchen assured the
court that he would not ask for another
continuance. He said that he had been
sick, and had not had time to prepare
his argument, but would have it done
by the 26th of next month.

MOTHER OF GIRL
Thief RELEASED
No Evidence to Show That She
Was Aware of Daughters
Operations

It is the opinion of the police that
Ruth Schroeder is probably the clev-
crest and most remarkable girl thief
that ever came under their obserVa-
ton That she was hypnotized by
man is not believed. and her statement
to that effect is thought to have been
made merely to divert suspicion from
some one else. The pickpocket she
saw at work in Spreckels market on
July 10 was a man who gave the name
of Charles Brown when arrested by
Detective Behan on charge of carry
ing concealed weapon. Behan found q
loaded revolver in his pocket when
searching him. He was released on $50
cash bail, which he forfeited.
Mrs. Lillian Schroeder, the girls
mother who was arrested on Saturday
night, was released from custody by
order of Captain Wall yesterday morn
ing. There was no evidence that she
knew of her daughters operations as a
pickpocket. When she left the prison
she was accompanied by her brother in
law, H. A. Schroeder, contracting
painter, who said that none of the
girls relatives knew that she was a
thief, and that he intended when her
court, to ask the judge to allow her to
go on probation, believing that the
girl had been taught a lesson she would
not forget.
Although the police do not place
much credence in the girls statement
that she had been hypnotized by a man,
they will continue their investigation
with the object of discovering whether
she was alone in her operations or
had a confederate. In her work she
carried with her trading stamp book
| in a newspaper, which she used as a
shade" to prevent her victim from
seeing her at work. This is what has
led the police to think that she might
have been coached by some one ia
