\ 2 s . L THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1895. IT'S VIRTUE IS A FAULT. The New Revenue Law Will Not Be Enforced This Year. A LOOPHOLE IS = DISCOVERED. Auditor Broderick Finds and Seizes It — The Law Full of Flaws. City and County Attorney Creswell has before him for solution probably the most important question that he has been called upon to answer since he took office. The question is, “Does the act amending the revenue law as it relates to the collec- tion of taxesin San Francisco take effect in the present fiscal year?” Ifitdoes it will leave the city and county treasury empty for three months—which means the suspension of the government for that period. Any embarrassmentof the machin- ery for collecting the taxesat this time is an aggravation of a very aggravated gituation in view of the §211,500 worth of debtors and a threatened deficit under any circumstances of $350, But in case Mr. Creswell’ should decide " that to his mind the law is in force at this minute means would at once be taken to secure the judgment of the Su- preme Court. For Auditor Broderick. who d by one of its provisions to set ieclares emphatically some fatal defect, to Assessor Siebe, his d Collector Block and Cit torney Creswell.

Broderick replies that so s he is concerned it is. At the time the bill was signed,” ct and said Deputy Assessor Herzer yesterday, ‘‘the work i 1 essment under the old law was well under 5 30,000 returns being in our office. The new law pro- | yides for any amount of trouble and a good deal of injustice,” continued Mr. Herzer. s changing the time for taking sment, the method is different, ve unconstitu- is made a tax col- He is required to col- h personal tax as is not secured by real estate on sight.

And soitis with every man who has personal property but no real es- tate. The man with real estate need not pay his tax until October, @nd then with 2 penalty for delinquency he can have extension until the end of April following. Manifestly this is dis- crimination of the most Hagrant kind. Under all la’ heretofore’ no man was re- quired to pay until he had had his day in court, and if the thing is tested I do not believe he can be made to do'so now.”’ 'COURT NOTES. New Suits Commenced Yesterday in the Superior Court. The Security Loan and Savings Associa- tion is suing H. C. Stillwell, his wife, Mary * B. Marshall, executrix of the will of 8. A, Marshall, the trustees of the trust created by the will of Mary Craig Blethen and others to recover $6300 on a note secured by a mortgage. James L. Patterson has sued Bartlett Doe and Charles F. Doe, executors of the estate of John 8. Doe, for $20,000, said to be due on a lot in the mining district of Calico, county of San Bernardino, which plaintiff conveyed to John S. Doe on No- vember 15, 1887. Frank P. Bacon, executor, Carrie J. Bacon and Ella Etta B. Soule, executrices of the last will of Henry D. Bacon, de- ceased, have sued John K. Murphy for $1692 40 due on a judzment rendered in favor of Henry D. Bacon in his lifetime. F.W.Tapken has sued Anna M. Tapken, his wife,and the German Savings and Loan Bociety for a judgment declaring certain money deposited in his wife's name at the bank community property and enjoining the bank from paying it to his wife or her representatives. The ' husband declares that the money, amounting. to some $300 was made by himself and wife jointly while letting rooms in their common dwelling- house and was retained by defendant. ingham & Hecht is suing the city for $9756 31 damages to their premises wrought about December 7, 1894, through the improper construction of a sewer on Twenty-fourth street, between Noe and Sanchez, and other sewers in that vicinity. An exhibit of items of damage is attached to the complaint and concludes with: “Estimate of loss on account of stoppage of work at factory caused by flood, three weeks, more or less, $3000.” Kate Young hassued Margaret Wheelan, the Hibernia S8avings and Loan Society and John Doe to have a declaration of homestead made by Margaret Wheelan set aside as fraudulent and for the sale of the said property to satisfy a_judgment of 400 obtained by plaintiff against Margaret heelan on a promissory note. Marian A. Ballard has sued Louis $1000 damages for trespass on a lot on Clay and Webster streets and for an in- junction to prevent defendants . from further trespass. The plaintiff claims that on April 6, 1895, while in possession of said land, “the defendants, through and by their agents, with force and arms en- tered into and upon said lotand premises of plaintiff and did then and there cut into, demolish and destroy a part of the west boundary-fence and bulkhead.” THE PERRY OVERDUE. Expected to Arrive Daily to Go North ‘With the Cutters Bear and Rush. The United States revenue cutter Com- modore Perry is expected to arrive from New York at any time now to go to Bering Sea. She left New York on December 26, and was last heard of at Callao, Pern, on February 26, so that she is really overdue, having been already 105 days coming around the Horn. Captain Horatio D. Smith is her commander, and she has a complement of seven officers and thirty- one men. : The Perry was one of two revenue cut- ters that, to put it in the language used by Captain McConnell of the Hartley yester- day afternoon, was “stolen” from the At- lantic to do service on the Bering Sea patrol. The other one wasthe U. S. Grant, which is now at Port Townsend, and which left New York a year ago December, but reached here last March. She was built for the New Yorkjstation. The Perry OPENED THER SESSION. Chosen Friends Gather Large Numbers at Odd Fellows’ Hall. in OFFICERS SUBMIT REPORTS. Important Recommendations Made. The Election Fixed for Thursday. Nearly three hundred members were | present yesterday morning at the opening of the twelfth annual session of the Order of Chosen Friends in Odd Fellows’ Hall. Of these 186 were grand officers and represen- tatives, including some forty ladies, and the remainder consisted of visitors. Grand Councilor F. H. Selvage called | the session to order. About 100 represen- sentatives took the Grand Council degree. | The secretary’s report showed an increase of seven councils during the year and a net gain of more than 2000 new members in the order. The Grand Council recommended the the branches of learning upon which the applicant for a surveyor's license should have to be examined it states that every surveyor having been granted a license on the strength of said examination should nevertheless be forced to submit to a re- examination every five years; in other words, the more a licensed surveyor gained experience in his profession the oftener he would be obliged to bow his head before the honorable Board of Examiners, and 80 on until he died. “In addition to that every licensed sur- veyor in the State of California was com- manded, under penalty of losing his license, and under oath, to present to the Board of Examiners every year, in Janu- ary, a statement of all the work he had performed in his county, giving every de- tail and stating where the worE could be found on record. . “The Board of Examining Surveyors is comgqscr{ of men actually surveying for the public, in fact are competitors with all the surveyors in the State for patronage, and the board was authorized by this law to command all the licensed surveyors to submit to them once a year the amount of work they had performed, and in what place, and where the record of such work may be found; in other words, to submit to their competitors an open statement of their private business, enabling those com- petitors, if they felt so inclined, to bid for a part of said business in the counties where they would find surveying most profitable. ‘‘The Senators and members of the com mittee to whom the bill was referred, and to whom I wrote, unhesitatingly declared themselves opposed to its passage. Meeting Iat,elf' the honorable secretary of the hon- orable board of examining surveyors, he apprised me that the bill introduced by SOME MRS.

Fifteen knots was the reputed speed of the Perry at that time, and if she has a speed even approximating that now, she wiif be the fastest cutter on this coast. Her hull is of steel, and her full burden close to 400 tons, although she is put down on the official register at only | 282 tons. Revenue authorities agree in saying that not much will be done by the United States Government this year in the sealing mat- ter. No cruiser is expected to be sent to Arctic waters, and about the only repre- sentative of the British Government will be the ironclad Phe nt, which is to go north from Esquimalt soon. If the Perry arrives in time she may accompany the Rush and the Bear, which are to leave for Port Townsend next Monday. It is ex- pected that the Corwin will be in Port Townsend by the time they get there, and rew propeller and s | thus Puget Sound will be the rendezvous for five revenue cutters, all more or less detailed on Bering Sea service. DRAWING N THE SCHGOLS, Principals Express Their Pref- erences as to the Methods. Teachers Will Listen to Miss Ball's Instructions After School Hours. A meeting of the principals of the School Department was held late yesterday after- noon in the Normal School on Powell street for the purpose of settling the draw- ing question in the schools, which has been pending since last July. It was at thgt time the question arose regarding the special methods of instruc- tions which were to be introduced by Miss Ball. Someof the teachers thought that they were too radical, and at the first meet- ing of the Teachers’ Institute called to consider the matter, while the majority were in favor of the system, it was gener- modifications, and at following meetings modifications were suggested. As a result of their deliberations a com- mittee of fifteen was appointed to submit a of the various schools. presided. been considered: First—How much time per week should be devoted to drawing in your grade? Second—Are you in fayor of having text books in drawing placed in pupils of your grade? Third—Are you in favor of each teacher the hands of Fourth—Are vou in favor of an illustrated monthly bulletin with explicit directions for each grade? Fiith—Are you in favor of the holding of teachers’ meetings in the different schools, during school hours, under the direction of Miss Bal Sixth—Should drawing meetings be held in school time or not? Seventh—Have you any additional sugges- tions to present on this subject of drawing. The report upon these questions was_as follows: First, one hour and a half during the first year and after that one hour; second, noj; third, yes; fourth, yes; fifth, yes, with the amendment “provided classes are dismissed,” seven grades voting in favor and two against; sixth, no, six against and four against. In regard to tue seventh question the following resolution was passed: Resolved, That the drawing meetings of teachers for primary grades be held from '3 to 4 r.y. and for the grammar gradesfrom 3:30 104:30 P. M. The report as presented was adopted unanimously, after which the meeting ad- journed. ANOTHER CAR VICTIM. Fred Preston, a Schoolboy, Has His Thigh Fractured. Fred Preston, a boy about 12 years of age, living with his parents at 1311} Pine street, narrowly escaped being an addition to the numerous fatalities of the electric cars. He attends the South Cosmopolitan Grammar School on Eddy street, near Polk. Yesterday afternoon when he left school he had an engagement to meet his mother downtown. He tried to jump on a passing electric car, but missed his hold and fell. The car wheels broke his left thigh and his face was cut and bruised by the fall. Everything after he tried to jump on the car was a blank to him. . He was taken to the Receiving_Hospital in the patrol wagon, where Dr. Deane at- tended to his injuries. e The Raphael Weill Company.

The State Board for the examination of Suryeyors having failed to procure the en- actment of a bill giving them something to do has virtually passed out of existence. A.Vap Der Naillen, a civil engineer, dis- cussed the bill that did not pass yesterda, and pointed out the lusty and well devel- oped “joker” it contained. ‘‘§ was amazed at the provisions of that bill,” he said. ‘‘After relating in detail Mr. Gleaves was the child of the Board of Examiners. “I venture to say that certainly two members out of five in that board, and perhaps more, would not vote for certain sections of the bill. When the Board of Examiners or any other body of surveyors having the ele- vation of the profession really at heart will congregate openly to frame a law to protect the profession in_its rights, as well as to guard against its shortcomings, then barmony may be expected as well as a united effort to promote the rights of all citizens concerned.” CLASS IN ARCHITECTURE, A New Department Is Started in the Mark Hopkins Art School. Budding Architects of the City En- rolled as Students at the Institute. The budding architects of the city of San Francisco have successfully invaded the Mark Hopkins Institute, and will hereafter be an integral part of that institution with a room of their own, instructors of their own and be placed upon an equal footing with any of the art students in the school. Some time ago the young men who are employed in the offices of the architects of the city got together informally and con- cluded that they ought to be a part of the art school at the institute. Messrs. Willis Polk, B. R. Mayback and George H. San- ders were appointed a committee to confer { with the board of directors of the institute at the last meeting. Communication was made by letter, and the young architects, in their application, stated that their principal end was to be identified with the institute and to obtain the privileges accorded to the students of the Ynsulute School of Art. They declared their willingness to provide their own teachers, furnish their own room, but after considerable discussion, waived some re- quested concessions, and the matter sim- mered down to the admission of the young architects as students of the institute school with all the privileges pertaining thereto, at a reduced rate. The matter was then referred by the Board of Directors to the Committee on School of Design and the request of the oung _architects practicallg imnted. i]mile Pissis was appointed by the com- mittee of the School of Design to confer with the committee of the young architects and arrange all matters of detail. Most of the young men who are asking recognition at the hands of the institute are clerks in the various architects’ offices in the cnfv, and their application was made purely with a_desire to obtain the advantages of- fered by the art school, especially in the matter of exhibitions and the privilege of obtaining, through intercourse with the other art students, that artistic spirit which adds so much to architectural work, and which in this instance may have a de- cided effect upon the future architecture of this city. LEARNING TO COOK. Mrs. Ewing Gives Another Lecture on Scientific Cooking—A New Class Formed. Mrs. Emma P. Ewing of the New York Chautauqua Scientific School of Cooking gave another interesting lecture on “How to Cook Scientifically,”” at Golden Gate Hall, on Sutter street, yesterday afternoon. The 400 ladies present gave the strictest attention to the interesting lecturer, and further evidenced their deep interest in the subject by asking questions when a point was not thoroughly understood. Mrs. Ewing commenced the afternoon’s work with a very intelligent and clean expose of the art of making rice mutfins, telfing just how the rice should be pre- pared and practically illustrating the con- sistency of the mixture when all the in- gredients were in. % This was followed up with interesting lessons on the chating-dish, showing how mock terrapin, steam pudding and that dainty dish, an omelette soufle, should be prepared and_cooked. After Mrs. Ewing had finished her lec- ture Mrs. W. B. Harrington announced that she had consented to teach a class the art of cooking at the nominal cost of $1 25 each, provided 200 ladies would join. The course was to consist of five lessons— namely, veast bread, l.u'oilh'nii roasting, pastrygand delicate desserts. rs. Bwin, would “also give five lessons on breakfas breads, salads, puddings and sauces, chafing-dishes, eggs and omelettes, at the same price, or $2 50 for the ten lessons. About 150 ladies immediately signified their intention of taking the entire ten lessons, and with the amount of enthusi- asm already displayed by them it is safe to say that the class will be up to the re- quired number when the first lesson is iven next Monday. The lessons will gin at 10:30 A, . every Monday, Wednes- day and Friday until finished. FOR THE HEALTH BOARD. Prominent Physicians Who Are Willing to Serve the Public. ABLE DOCTORS ARE SUGGESTED. Governor Budd Will Be Asked to Appoint Well - Known Prac- titioners. Politicians are occupied filling prospec- tive vacancies in the Board of Health. There are numerous aspirants for these seats that Governor Budd will soon be called upon to fill, and thereis a lively skirmish going on among local physicians who aspire to serve the public in that connection. The question is one in which politicians, the men who seek to control municipal affairs, are taking the deepest interest. Governor Budd is silent on the issue. He has not even hinted at any favorites among the many who are up for the places. Noris there any likelihood that he will depart from his customary se- cretiveness and takéd the public into his confidence until the time comes for the appointments to be announced. It isnoised about in local political circles that certain potent politicians are in favor of Dr. W. E. Taylor, Dr. W.D. McCarty and Dr. Julius Rosenstirn and will push their claims with the Governor. All are amiable, capable men, but the fact that they are the choice of the so-called com- bine will not, so manv of the leading poli- ticians think, strengthen their candidacy with the Governor. Dr. Taylor was Coroner under the Buckley regime in San Francisco and re- signed his office to make room for Dr. J. M. Eaton, who was_appointed Coronor by the solid nine of the Board of Supervisors at the instance of the then reigning boss. Dr. McCarty was on the Board of Health in Buckley’s time of power. Dr. Tayvlor is physician to Mr. Buckley’s family. "Dr. Rosenstirn is scheduled as a Republican. He is physician to the family of M. A. Gunst. An effort will be made to have Dr. Keeney retained on the board. D..J. F. Morse declined to go in on the deal, though an invitation had been ex- tended to him. He stands high with Governor Budd. [ The women want representation on the Board of Health and have petitioned the Governor asking the appointment of two lady physicians. The Sanitary League has taken up this end of the fight and the ]é;djea are confident of winning out on the nish. The board is composed of four physicians and the Mayor. MAGGIE 0'SULLIVAN GONE, Information About Her Is Anxiously Sought For by Her Sister Mary. Miss Mary O’Sullivan is conducting an anxious search for her sister Maggie, and yesterday morning the following advertise- ment, inserted by her, appeared in the CaLn: NFORMATION WANTED OF MAGGIE O'SULLIVAN. Please address her sister, 26434 Tehama st. Miss Mary O’Sullivan is rooming at the address given in the advertisement, and when interviewed concerning her sister’s disappearance said: “Last July I sent my sister $100 to our old home at Castletown, Berehaven, County Cork, Ireland, to help her pay her fare to the United States. She reached the home of my brother, Norty O’Sullivan, a business man of Flatfoot, Holt County, Montana, some time in September, and has been visiting there and at Roseburg, Or., with my brother-in-law, William Bux- ton, ever since. *‘On the 20th of last December I went to Bakersfield on business, and returned on the 29th of March. I'found on my return a letter dated March 24 awaiting me from Mr. Buxton, informing me that my sister was then on her way to San Francisco. As she knows nothing of San Francisco and has not called to see me I fear for her safety. “Maggie is about %Fears old, isquite tall and has curly blonde hair and brown eyes. She has a good education, and under or- dinary circumstances is Ferfccfly capable of taking care of herself; but there is something mysterious in her failure to reach me in ‘such a long time. I don’t know which way to turn in my search.” ROOF FOR THE CITY HALL, The Commissioners Hope to Complete the Building Within Their Term of Office. The City Hall architect was instructed by the Board of City Hall Commissioners yesterday to prepare plans for a new story and roof to that building, the story to be eleven feet high from the base of the pres- ent roof. The law authorizing the levy of a 10-cent tax has encouraged the Commissioners to believe that they can finish the building some time. The architect said it woul take two or three months to prepare the plans. He was ordered to make a picture of the building as it would appear with the windows cut through the walls and not with dormer windows as required by the original plans, as Mayor Sutro is opposed to the latter. He insists on more Iilght, although the architect says it will spoil the effect. The Mayor expressed a desire for more speed also in the construction. The conflict of opinion as to the metal in which the winged figure for the summit of the dome is to be cast continues, and the sculptor, Marion Wells, is required to sub- mit_the formula of what he desires to be useg, and a test of its strength will be made.
