SHOTGUN QUARANTINE
Sitka Citizens Refused to Allow
Smallpox Corpse to Land.

Washington, Feb. ALASKA seems
to have adopted the shotgun quar-
antine policy heretofore confined to
southern latitudes. The army cable
ship Burnside, which is laying cable
in Alaskan water, recently touched at
Sitka for the purpose of burying the
remains of member of the crew, VINO
died of smallpox. The captain went
ashore to make the necessary ar
rangements. When the citizens learn
ed of his errand. they informed him
that the body could not be landed.
When he insisted they told him that
the first man to come down the gang
plank with the corpse would be shot.
The Burnside returned to Seattle
without entering on the work of
cable-laying. 1t is assumed the
corpse was buried at sea.

THE FORD JURY
HAs...D|||skGREED
Were Discharged by Judge
Swing After 5Twenty-Four
: Hours Deliberation

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 7.-After twen-
ty-four hours deliberation the jury in
the case of Mrs. Jeanette Stewart
Ford, charged with blackmailing
Charles L. Warriner, the defaulting
local treasurer of the Big Four rail-
road, was unable to reach an agree
rment andswere discharged yesterday.
Judge Swing stated after he dis
missed the jury that he had been in
formed that on the last ballot eight
jurors had stood for acquittal and
four for conviction. A..
The unexpected end to the sensa-
tionai case was explained by two of
the Jurymen as due to the fact that
majority of their colleagues refused
to give any credit to the testimony of
Warrfner. They asserted that a man
VINO had confessed to embezxling for
twenty-five years would not hesitate
to perjure himself against woman.
who. he believed, had been the cause
Of his exposure.
Prosecutor Hunt announced today
that he expected to bring the woman
to trial again within the next three
weeks. At the same time he intimated
that he might abandon the case. He
asserted that the result of the trial
was due to species of diseased
mentality which seemed to affect
American jurors and prevent them
from convicting a woman on any
charge" He declared the same pro-
cess of reasoning was evident in the
sympathy displayed for Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw and Nan Patterson. to both
of whom he compared Mrs. Ford.

BR0THER-iN-LAW SUED
BY BELL FOR $4,000
Charges A. R. Sanger with Mali
ciouS Prosecution of Charges


Frank NJ. Bell. against whom a
charge of perjury was dismissed in
Judge Davis court May 20, filed suit
in the superior court yesterday against
his brother-in-law, A. R. Sanger, for
$52 900 damages for false and malicious
prosecution, alleging that his health
and reputation has been damaged to
that amount as the result of COM
plants sworn to by Sanger.
Bell charges Sanger with securing a
warrant for his arrest from Justice
Ling January 26, 1909 charging him
with perjury in swearing Sanger and
o. P Widaman tried to kill him in a
room in the Hollenbeck hotel several
months previously.
Bells charges against Sanger and
Widaman nearly two years ago fell
through, and it was after the case
against them was dismissed that they
charged Bell with perjury. The trial
of Bell was postponed frequently and
more than a month ago the jury in his
case disagreed by a vote of eleven to
one.
Subsequently the charge against him
was dismissed and now he seeks to col
lect damages from Sanger, declaring
that his arrest was inspired by spirit
of revenge and hatred on the part or
Sanger, and that his health was in
iured by his incarceration in the coun-
ty iail for twenty-four days before he
was admitted to $4,000 bail.

DROP SUITS AGAINST CITY
OVER GARBAGE CONTRACT
GaIbraith and Boos Brothers
Quit Their Contest

On motion by the attorneys for the
plaintiffs. the suits of G. w. Galbraith
against City Auditor Meyers and Boos
Bros. against Mayor Alexander ana
other city officials, in regard to the dls-
posal of city garbage, were dropped IN
Judge Wilbur's court yesterday, the
plaintiffs being satisfied with their VIC
tory in the habeas corpus proceedings
in Judge Hutton's court several weeks
ago. when Henry Laramee was treeu
from custody on the charge OF Vlolat-
ing the new garbage ordinance.
During the proceedings brought 10
free Taramee, an employe of p. ]. Dur
ban. Judge Hutton held that the new
garbage ordinance was unconstitutional
and invalid. -,,-..
The decision Of Judge Hutton allowed
P. 7. Durham and Boos Bros. again TO
collect garbage from hotels and res
taurants for the purposes OF feeding
stock. .
The suit of Galbraith against Meyers
followed the superior court decision,
Galbraith contending that Meyers had
no right to authorize the payment OIL
s400O to Alexander, because the con-
tract allowing him to dispose OF the
citv garbage was invalid because 1t
contained unconstitutional provisions.
Having secured a return of the con-
ditions under which they formerly col
lected garbage the plaintiffs announced
Yesterday that they were willing TO
drop all proceedings against the city.
1t is understood that new garbage
ordinance, eliminating the provisions
termed as unconstitutional by the su-
perior court, is under preparation by
the citV attorney.

START SUIT TO COMPEL
LEAVING TEN-F0oT WALK
James A. and Emma Thomas to
Make Sure of Access

According to suit filed in the su-
perior court yesterday by Attorneys
Beardsley & Gould for James A. Thom-
as and Emma Thomas, his wife, the
couple are in danger of being hemmed
in on all sides by property owners in
block A of the Addison tract. The
plaintiffs ask the court for an order
compelling Antonio Caterino to allow
them space for access to and from
their property.
The plaintiff owns portion of lot 13
in the block. and their property is in
the center, no portion of it fronting on
a street or alleyway. Caterino recently
purchased the northeast forty feet of
lot IS, and since that time the plaintiffs
aver that thirteen has become their
unlucky number.
They declare Caterino. knowing that
the plaintiffs had a right to use the
property to gain access to the street,
had begun to erect fences which are
shutting the plaintiffs in their home in
sueh a manner that they will be able
to get in or out only by balloon or an
airship.
Contending that CATERING bought the
property with the understanding tina t
the plaintiffs were to be allowed to use
a portion of it for passageway, they
ask the court to compel Caterno to
make an opening in his fence ten feet
wide for their use.

MAYOR TO VETO ORDINANCE
EXTENDING FANCY LIGHTS

An ordinance intended to increase the city
expenditures for the lighting of streets py
ornamental eectroliers will be vetoed by
Mayor Alexander. He told the council COM
mittee of the whole as much in very plain
words yesterday afternoon when 1t was con
sidering the subject of ornamental lights.
The mayor would be better pleased If the
city would refuse to contribute anything
toward ornamental lighting, and he does
not propose to stand for any increase. He
said Yesterday that 1t would be nearer a
square deal If the city would take the money
1t contributes to the ornamental lights and
put arc lights out in the dark residence dis
trcts where there are no lights.
The council is still unable to agree on what
proportion of the cost of these lights 1t will
pay, but it is expected that 1t will eventually
result in the city assuming 25 per cent OF
the cost of the lights between Main and Hill
and First and Seventh streets, and Is per cent
in other portions of the city.
Mayor Alexander believes that If the city
is to continue to pay a share of the cost
of the ornamental lighting no more orna-
mental lights should be installed until the
owens river power is harnessed and ready
for distribution in Los Angeles through mu-
nicipal light plants; then he wants the city
as light at night it is in the day.

BOARD RECOMMENDS HARBOR
WATER RATE AT rs CENTS

The Wilmington Transportation company at
San Pedro will have to reduce its charges for
water This is the decree of the board of
public utilities, which submitted a report
to the council yesterday fixing the rate to be
charged vessels entering San Pedro at 25
cents for each 1000 gallons, with a minimum
charge of 81.
At the hearing evidence was brought out
showing that the Wilmington Transportation
company pays the San Pedro Water company
cents per 1000 gallons for water and retails
it to vessels entering the port of San Pedro
at SIS for 1000 gallons. This charge has been
so excessive that vessels have, whenever pos
sible, taken on enough water at San Fran
cisco to last for the round trip.
The board of public utilities made an in
vestigation of the rates charged at San Fran
cisco and found that the maximum rate was
$160 for 1000 gallons, but that by making
special arrangements with the water com
pany it was secured as low as 16 cents
