vide the necessaries of life. When
he had no more money he gambled
away his watch. she says.
Sometimes Sheldon went so far as
TO use his fists on her and to call her
vile names, she alleges.
The pair were married at Santa Cruz

name was Grover. They lived together
at 270S Haste street, Berkeley, until

COURT REQUESTED
TO PAROLE FLOOD
Grand Jurors and Prosecuting
Attorney Join Clergymen in
Pleas for Mercy

OAKLAND, Jan. 4.-Every member
OF the grand jury that indicted him.
prominent clergymen, professional and
business men, as well as District At
torney Donahue, Joined today in the
effort to secure probation for A. J..
Flood, who is accused of forging a
receipt for $115 while he was clerk for
former Public Administrator George D..
Gray.
Flood pleaded guilty to the charge
today. Lin S. Church, his attorney,
asked that the case be referred to the
probation officer. Church recalled that
Flood came home from Seattle when
he learned of the charges against
him. and said that he told all he
knew and thus aided in the conviction
OF John S. de Lancey, Gray's attorney.
PASTORS AS WITNESSES
Rev. Dr. John X. Mclean, president
of the Pacific Theological seminary, In
Berkeley, testified of his acquaintance
with Flood when the latter was boy.
Rev. e. E. Baker, former pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of Oak
land, also spoke for him. Others who
testified to Floods good character were
B. p. Miller. j. j. Warner, George H.
Smith, r. NJ. Edwards, I. H. Clay and
Joseph Sanders.
e. H BENJAMIN of the grand jury
that indicted Flood told of a reso-
luton passed at the last session of
the grand jury, to the effect that Flood
was worthy of probation. District At
torney Donahue said that he had at
first been against probation, but was
convinced now that the ends of JUS
tice would be served if Flood were
shown this clemency.
JUDGE DEFERs DECISION
Judge Brown did not receive
Church's appeal with great favor.
Flood was cognizant for some time,"
said the judge. "of continued series
of defalcations, but concealed them
My present opinion is that while he may
have been sufficiently punished from
his own standpoint. yet from the stand
point which / must consider, which
is that sufficient punishment should
be meted out to act as a deterrent, and
thus protect society. he has not been
punished enough
Judge Brown said. however, that he
was open to conviction, and put of
his decision until hext Monday.
FORGERY BY FLOOD
Flood pleaded guilty OF forging the
name of E. James F'inney, local un-
dertaker. to a receipt for burial ex-
penses. The receipt was found among
the papers of the estate of A. l.. Pound
stone, a civil war veteran. who was
buried at the expense of the county,
while Flood pocketed the $115 which
was paid out of his estate.
The discovery of Floods forgery
by District Attorney Donahue led to
the finding of numerous defalcations
in the public administrators Office, with
the result that Gray's attorney, John
S. de Lancey, was tried and convicted
on charge of embezzlement. and is
now serving six year sentence in
San Quentin.

QUARANTINE RULES
UPHELD BY BOARD.
Health Authorities Favor Strict
Measures Against Com
tagiOus Diseases

ALAMEDA, Jan. 4.-The board Of
health and the board of education are
opposed to any relaxation of the reg
uIations regarding the quarantine Of
contagious diseases. Several physi-
clans of the city say that the ordi-
nances work hardship on the MEM
bers of the household in which pa
tient is quarantined and that there is
also strong opposition on the part of
some persons to the placarding Of
houses wherein contagious disease
exists.
DR.. A. A. Stafford, who belives that
the quarantine rules are too strict.
told the members OF the health board
last night that he had known of in
stances where the parents of children
afflicted with measles would not call
in doctor to treat the patients, as
the physician. under the law, would
have to report the contagious diseases
to the health board and quarantine
would follow.
Members of the health board, on the
other hand, held that the failure OF
parents and in some instances of phy-
sicians to report cases OF measles had
resulted in the spread of the disease
School superintendent VIII c. Wood
said that two children who had been
return to school before the stage of
contagion had ended We're furnished
with doctors eertafcates declaring
that the children had not suffered from
the measles.
The school superintendent suggested
to the board of health that a circular
letter setting forth the danger of con-
tagious diseases, the wisdom of report
ing them to the health officer and the
DeDalty for failure TO do so be mailed
to the head of each household.
DR.. j. A. Riley, a member of the
board of health, stated that he consid-
cred rummage sales were often re-
sponsible for the spread of contagious
diseases and urged that measures be
taken to suppress such sales.
The health board favors the appoint
ment of a medical inspector for the
schools. 1t has been estimated that
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year will be
required for the inspectors depart
ment.
