Learned Justice Takes in the Picnic McCLINTOCK WILL AWAIT ACTION OF THE COURT In accordance with a time-honored custom, no session of the City Justice’s’s Court was held this morning. The day on which the Grangers’ picnic is held is observed as a holiday by succeeding City Justices, and Justice MARCH yesterday announced his intention of attending the picnic. Charles GIBNEY, the proprietor of the Art saloon and dance hall, was to have been sentenced this morning, but Justice March continued the matter until Monday. Sam McClintock, the manager of Dick HYLAND, who last night struck and kicked Referee DONNELLY, is out on $100 bail pending the holding of Court Monday. McClintock, before the fight, said he intended to leave town this morning, but after his arrest and the putting up of the bail he will stay and face the music. Frank De Mar Is in Toils Once More Frank De Mar, the young man who was arrested some months ago on a charge of burglary for robbing the room of Bud MARSH, at 920 L street, and who was later sentenced to the County Jail on a reduced charge by Judge HART, is in trouble again. He was arrested in company with Charles CLARK by Officers RYAN and PENNISH and locked up in the police station. The officers state that the two men are charged with burglary for the alleged theft of several sets of harness from different places about town. Four sets have been recovered by the officers and more are being searched for. The men will be given a preliminary hearing Monday morning, probably, in the City Justice’s Court. Arrested on Charge of Grand Larceny Officers D. DESMOND and J.C. DUHAIN arrested Alfred BADDELY and A.F. BARNETT at 3 o’clock this morning on a charge of grand larceny. The men are wanted in San Francisco, the local police having been notified by telegraph. The baggage of the two men was also taken to the Police Station. The men will be held until the arrival of an officer from San Francisco with a warrant. Barnett, whose real name is said to be Burnett, has been peddling cloth goods about the city, and it is believed that it was for the alleged theft of these that he is wanted in San Francisco.

WOODMAN SPARES NO ELMS They Are Coming Down For the Airy Palm W.W. Greer, President of the Sutter’s Fort Trustees, Declares Everything Is Lovely With the Governor, Women’s Council, Native Daughters and the Fort Trustees. In the course of planting Twenty-eighth Street to palm trees as recommended by the Women’s Council, trees of this species were set out on the Twenty-eighth Street side of Sutter’s Fort yesterday. The incident has led to the statement that there is a controversy over the planting of palms, in which Governor Pardee, City Trustees E.J. CARRAGHER, the Women’s Council, the Native Daughters and the Board of Trustees of Sutter’s Fort are involved. W.W. Greer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Sutter’s Fort, said to-day there has never been a controversy or conflict of authority in the premises, and that the palms were planted yesterday with the knowledge and sanction of the Board of Trustees and the Native Daughters. Whether they will be retained and the oak trees taken up will be determined probably some time this Winter. To a Bee reporter, Greeg said: “There has been some difference of opinion as to whether palms should be planted on the Twenty-eighth Street side of the Fort, and Governor Pardee some time ago expressed the belief that the oaks planted there about a year ago should not be disturbed. “Superintendent J. McLAREN, of Golden Gate Park, who prepared the landscape plans for the Sutter Fort grounds, advised that native California trees be planted, and this advice was followed by the Native Daughters. Some time ago, when the Women’s Council decided on palms for Twenty-eighth Street, Mrs. R.T. DEVLIN, the President, spoke to me about planting them on the Twenty-eighth Street curb. I said I did not believe the Native Daughters would sacrifice the oaks already planted there, but she could consult them and ascertain their wishes. This was done, and it was decided that the palms should be planted between the oaks. It was also decided that both the palms and the oaks should be kept there until next Winter, when it might be decided which should be retained. That is exactly what was done yesterday. We now have both palms and oaks, and I know of no controversy over the matter.” Governor Pardee does not approve of the palm as a shade tree, but he never sought to interfere in any way with planting them on the grounds of the Fort, Greer stated. Three fine elm trees on the east side of Twenty-eighth Street, between K and L, were cut down yesterday to make room for the palms on that side of the street. The trees had attained a hight of thirty feet, and were as fine shade trees as are to be found in Sacramento. BORN ELDER - In this city, May 5, 1905, to the wife of J.J. Elder, a son.
