substitute last September In the fraud ulent deal which resulted in the death of Deputy United Btates Marshal Gamble and the arrest of Jailers Dempsey Dasha and Burnett was released Wednesday by a decision handed down by uniteo states District Court Judge de Haven When the sir men were1 arrest ed it was impossible for the United States Marshal or the United States Attorney to learn the name of one of them Consequently when the Indictments were drawn up this particular Chinese was designated as John Doe When the men were arraigned all pleaded guilty Including the uiknown Chinese who stated In court that his true name was Lee Hon In freeing the man the Judge had the following to say In his decision It is a fundamental rule of criminal pleading that a defendant must be so described In an indictment that he can be Identified and for this purpose the general rule Is that he must be charged by his true name ot if not by the name bv which he is generally known and if neither his true name nor tne name by which he Is generally caUed is known then he must be otherwise so described that It shall appear what particular person is charged wttn tne commission or the of fense named In the Indictment The Federal officials received the opln Ion with much surprise and not a little consternation The Judge virtually held that the Grand Jury Indicted a man of the identity or whom they anew

South Wales in the steamer Ventura as a workaway with light duties to perform He had previously been allowed pas age on the Ventura to Sydney as a workaway by Superintendent Howard of tbe Oceanic Company and was on the crew list at 25 cents as a matter cf form He failed to find an inviting field at Sydney and wishing to return here applied to Captain Hay ward of the Ventura for a return paj sage This could not be granted and then according to Captain Hay ward young Clark made It known to the authorities In Sydney that he was a convict and wanted by officers here Captain Hayward was thereupon directed to return the fellow to this port whence he had been taken by the Ventura Clark came back as workaway with wages fixed at 25 cents and upon arrival called for the 50 cents due him Superintendent Howard was struck dumb by the exhibition of rerve and paid the money In silence 0 FIRST FUNCTION IN NEW HOTEL Big Banquet Is to Be Given by the Promotion Committee In the Latter Part of March A big dinner la neheduled nMht Ral Ifernl Promotion Committee to take place In the latter part nf March The dinner will be given at the Bt Pranele Hotel and will he the flrt function held In the new hotel a well as a noteworthy event This fact was an nounced yesterday evening at the reg ular monthly meeting of the Callfoy nla Promotion Committee In the re port of Rufus Jennings executive officer Those present at the meeting were A Sbarboro chairman repre sentlng the Manufacturers and Producers Association Itutus Jennings executive officer representing the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce George McNear treasurer representing the Merchants Exchange San Francisco A A Watklns representing the San Francisco Board of Trade and Fred Koster representing the Merchants Association The great necessity for a large increase In the membership was discussed and the members present ex pressed confidence that the recent clr culars sent to associate members ask ing each one to secure at least two new members for the Committee would bring about the desired result The great publicity that has come to the Committee throughout the United States and Europe as being the organization that Is working for the whole State of California has so Increased the demands upon the Com mittee that it Is absolutely necessary to have a larger amount of money with which to carry out the work done and planned The Committee Is arranging with a number of prominent papers In Europe to publish California numbers President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California has stated that the University will be glad to translate these articles into the differ ent languages for the European papers The object is not ony to call the resources of California to the at tention of desirable settlers from Europe but also to advertise California products A most vigorous campaign for the future is outlined and the Committee feels great satisfaction that in all its work there has been an avoidance of anything of a boom nature and that its literature was meeting with general approval DESIRES TO RETURN MONEY SUBSCRIBED Treasurer Sbarboro of Martinique Relief Committee Has Fund to Distribute There are a number of people in and about San Francisco who have money coming to them and do not know it according to Andrea Sbarboro president of the Italian American Bank and honorary treasurer of the Martinique relief committee In this city It will be remembered that at the time of the volcanic disaster which overwhelmed the Island of Martinique a general appeal for funds to succor the distressed was made to the people of the United States San Francisco was not slow tn coming to the rescue and a sum of over 3000 was soon made up Mr Sbarboro was appointed treasurer and the money was forwarded to Cornelius Bliss treasurer of the na ttonal fund In New York It was found however that nearly twice as much had been subscribed as was needed owing to the fact that Mount Pelee had done its ghastly work all too well There were very few sufferers for Martiniques population had been wiped out Half of the sum collected here was returned by Treasurer Bliss A meeting of the trustees of the fund Including the Mayor Scott and Andrea Sbarboro was held and a proposition to turn the balance over to the Philippine relief fund was discussed It was finally decided to refund half the amount subscribed by each subscriber and this was done when practicable Many had left no addresses and letters simply addressed San Fran cisto have been returned to the treasurer by the dozen In many cases the money was sent in anonymously so the treasurer now finds himself in posses sion of funds of which he cannot properly rid himself All who contributed can obtain a rebate upon presentation of their receipts GRAY BROTHERS HAVE NO PERMIT TO BUHD Gray Brothers it has been discovered by the people living near Thirtieth and Dolores streets have no permit to put up a building on
