right man and 3 he was promptly ;ac
quitted. Now Kalisch has begun a
suit for . $100,000 damages for false
arrest against the City .of San Frin
cisco. The most peculiar; feature cf
the case, is the method by which Kal
isch was caught in the meshes of the
law without really being 'the guilty
man. . x - '
:The SamueitKaiisch whom the ati

strenuous duties and ne sent a report
to r Mkyor Gaynor setting forth these
faets 'and recommending a change in
the system. In view of the fact that
the mayor of New York,, whose duties
and responsibilities are considerably
greater than those of the sheriff, re
ceives a salary of only $15,000 a year,
the Commissioner of Accounts, sug'
gests that $12,000 a year would be an
adequate salary for the" sheriff. He
recommends ' that the annual salary of
the sheriff be fixed at that amount
and that in the' future 11 fees collect
ed by the sheriffs office be turned over
t othe city. The report also contains
various other recommendations, in
eluding We.toTabolish the county jail
and transfer it ':' "tdtoe inking fund

other purposes. Strange to say the
present incumbent, Sheriff Harburger,
has expressed himself strongly in fa

. The committee in charge of the .ar
rangements for the suffrage pageant
at the Metropolitan Opera House last
week had quite a strenuous" time la
arranging for all the details but their
task was lightened by the fun they
derived from' their work, or at least
from some, portions "of it. For one
feature of - the pageant forty-nine
mere men were needed. As these
men were to appear in abbreviated
classical costumes and were to servo
a decorative purpose, it was consider
ed essential that . the men selected
chmiM ho renllv ornamental. The
committee advertised, for perfect spec
imens of physical manhood and judg
ing from the countless number pf let
ters which arrived in response to the
advertisement it seemed : that the
"perfect men" of the whole world
were holding their convention in New
York at this time and that all or tnem
Or nearly all, were anxious and eager
to display their manly beauty: ih the
service and to the glory of the suff
rage cause. '. Many of the letters were
exouisitely funny and strongly ap
pealed to the cause! of ' humor of the
members of the committee

The workmen excavating the ground

building operations and even tbe re
puted! experts if concerning the city's
history were unable to clear up the
mystery 'of. finding a big schooner
buried in the ground far from the
banks pf the river. Since then an in
vestigation . has been made which et
tablishecf, the fact that at one time,
more than a hundred years ago the
Hudson.. Riyer-extended to the point
where the hulk was found. Close to
the old hulk remnants of a pier were
found and-it is ' believed that the?
schooner was burned to the waterhne
while at the' dock ahd sank, never to
be praised. , . In . later , years the river
bed , was narrowed a by filling in and
the hulk! of the schooner and the rem-
nanta of fthe dock were covered with

A ' rather interesting suit has been
begun in 4he Chancery Court at Tren
ton" N." J. by ex-Senator; Mitchell B.
Perkins-ot? Beverly.; . By thif suit Mr.
Perkins seeks to . compel the Public
Service Corporation, now in control
of the lines of the old Camden and
Trenton Traction Company to trans
porthim, his wife and his children
free over the lines. Some years ago
the Senator granted the right of way
over some property of his to the old
Camden and Trenton Company,, in
consideration for which he, his wife,
and all of his children save one, were
to ride free. When the system passed
to the Riverside . Traction Company
the other child was- included in the
contract. . Lately the Public Service
acquired the'vline and' refused to give
the; transportation, holding that to do
so would be . a violation of the public
utility. Corporatio lawyers and
others are! greataly ,jfcted in the
suit and are awaiting decision of
the court in this case with more thai,
