The dignity of the Superior Court has been aroused through the strange actions of ex-District Attorney Page. Page was appointed guardian of Louis Lichnecker, an insane person, and took charge of his property to the value of $4000. Later it was ascertained that. Page had neglected to make any accounting, and he was cited to appear and show cause why he had not done so. On his showing that the money was on hand whenever wanted, the matter was dropped, but subsequently came to the attention of the Grand Jury. To some members of that body Page ad- riotous living while charity at an asylum. But Page defied the Grand Jury, declar- is ward accepted PETERSON'S NEWEST PET.

[Sketched by a “Call” artist.] $24,000, it was thought that the club had | made an excellent investment. It cost $10,000 to excavate some ten feet of sand. | Now the projectors wished they had raised | the plat ten feet as it would then be nearer | the street level of Seventh avenue from H to I streets. } The grading of Seveath avenue has | raised the embankment over twenty-two | feet above the level of the athletic grounds and the sand has buried the high fence and s now flowing over the different cinder | paths and the green platin the center. The straightaway course, which was just under the shadow of the big board fence, starting at the reporters’ stand, 155 yards in length | and 15 feet wide, is submerged in sand. Part of the circle track has also been buried, while the rose trees, Virginia climbers and different plants along the fence and in the triangle at the south end | are lost to sight. John T. Doyle leased the property to the Olympic Club five years ago. The lease has five years yet to run. The monthly rental of the grounds is $118. In addition to this sum the club pays an instaliment of | $112 on the original expenditure in fixing | up the grounds, which was done in the main by Mr. Doyle. It was he who caused the “dug out,” though the grounds were more than ten feet below the level of Seventh avenue at that time. Now the Olvmpic Club threatens to sue him for damages. The matter will come up before the meeting of the board of directors this evening, when a course of action will be decided upon. The tennis court, which is terraced about thirteen feet above the circle track, has not been damaged by the grading of the street, for the reason that it is only a few feet below the level, and the fence | stands the pressure all right. The rest of | the fence, 450 feet in all, has been demol- | ished, and the sand continues to pour down the embankment as the work of grading goes on. *‘The members of the club are very much worried over this damage done to the grounds,”” said Manager Peter Mclntyre yesterday, ‘‘and somebody ought to be made to pay well for it. 2 “The club has gone to large expense in improving and keeping up the grounds, and now this mountain of sand comes tumbling down upon us. The wind out here is very high during the afternoons and evenings, and every blast tends to scatter the sand over those Barts of the grounds . which are not already buried. It's an out- -rage, 1 say, and .somebody ought to be made to pay forit. The clubhastaken de- light in keeping the groundsin good order, setting out plants and keeping the grass green. Now everything is on the verge of ruin. AS TO THE PERSONAL TAX, The Collector May Seize Anything. Costs on Fifty Cents May Climb to $25. The Assessor’s office is about the busiest place in this County. ‘“The men are at work,” said Deputy Assessor Herzer yes- terday, “‘but it will be some days before we can tell just how the new law works or how long it will take them to complete the collection of the personal taxes. You see, this is all new fo the people and there is likely to be a great deal of friction. It will be to the great advantage of taxpayers to observe thejlaw and make it as easy as pos- sible on our deputies, for that will be mak- ing it easy for themselves. This new law "is really an advantage to the taxpayer, for it relieves him of the trouble of coming to the City Hall and standing in line, as many bave to do, awaiting their turn to reach the window. “On the other hand the citizen who be- comes obstreperous is liable to have big costs levied against him. The deputy is empowered by the law to seize everything a man has if he refuses to pay the tax, and a single matter of four bits may quickly mount to $25. The deputy is expected to seize enough to realize all the costs in the sale. If after the sale takes place and the. ing that he could only be called to account by the court which appointed him. As this view proved correct Judge Slack yesterday issued a citation, stating that Page had embezzled and could notbe found,and | bidding him to appear in court on the 20th | inst. to show cause why he should not be removed as guardian of Lichnecker, ———— L'ALLIANCE FRANOAISE. Giving Instruction In French to Ameri- cans Who Wish to Learn. L’Alliance Francaise of this City, of which Daniel Levy is president, L. V. Merle vice-president, and L. Goustiaux secretary, having for one of its objects the teaching of the French langunage to Ameri- can school-children, has made arrange- | ments by which classes have been estab- | lished in the Washington Grammar School, 40 feet in length over all, 10 feet in beam, bas a depth of 4!{ feet and a twenty-horse- power engine. The latter was put in by the Union Gas Engine Company, the same company which supplied the power to the Satellite. The hull was built by Koopman, and Peterson says that when he desires to open the vessel out she will make the fast- est time of any craft of her kind on the bay. “The Amy is not supposed to be a sprinter,” said Mr. Peterson yesterday afternoon. ‘‘She may not be able to out- run the Satellite, but I would like to be in the race of which Colonel Knight speaks between the Athlete and Satellite. My boat has been built for rough weather, and for endurance I will put_her, against any tug on the bay.

Found by a Fisherman on the Potato Patch, Anton Bertoline, a fisherman, while cruising about the ‘‘Potato Patch” yester- day, caught .a crab of a species never be- fore seen in California waters. The ani- mal resembles nothing so much asa ball of mud about the size of a child’s clenched hand. A snout or nose protrudes from the upper part of the body, and beneath it is a vicious looking mouth, the jaws of which, open to either side. The crab has ten legs or claws which, when it is at rest, are folded beneath the body. Eight of the claws are soit and only two are covered with shell. Crabs of this species are found in bays along the shore of Italy, in which country they are called ‘‘padroni.” ————— NoTHING spurious is found in the Almighty Dollar (Cigar). - poat in rough weather and as an excursion craft in all other kinds of weather.

Gray Brothers, the contractors of the ferry foundation under McMullin, have the “contract for the concrete work and foundation of the big gun, and they have been notified that work must be com- menced by May 25.

The Art Association Will Conclude the Spring Exhibition With a Reception. The entertainment committee of the San Francisco Art Association decided yester- day afternoon upon the details of a recep- tion to be held in the home of the associa- tion on California street at the close of the spring exhibition, which occurs on the evening of the 28th inst. The reception committee will be com- posed of C.P.Robinson, William Keith, Amedee Joullin, L. P. Latimer, J. H. E. Partridge, Wilbur A. Reaser, F. M. Ver- morcken, Mrs. Williams Davidson, Miss H. Heyneman, Mrs. A. B. Chittenden, Miss Helen Hyde, Mrs. Paul Goodloe, Miss Maren Froelich and Mrs. Albertine A. Weelan. Mrs. Daniel Bixler, Miss Maren Froelich, Mrs. Sarah B. Gamble, Mrs. F. M. Pixley, Miss Eva Withrow and Mrs. A. B. Chittenden will attend to the decora- tion for the occasion and oversee the serv- ing of the dainty lunch to the guests. There will be instrumental musicby a selected orchestra of musicians to be en- gaged by Henry Heymann, and the re- mainder of the evening’s programme will consist of ‘bronze statuary,” the produc- tion of which occasioned such a furor at a Congregational church entertainment in Qakiand a short time past. The tickets of invitation will serve as beautiful souvenirs of the reception and will be illustrated by a design of Arthur Matthews’ creative fancy. The main pur- pose of the reception is to bring together the artists and the lovers of art and thus to furnish the gucsts with a bond of sym- pathy on which to hinge a “conversation concert.” Full dress is the watchword, and the entertainment committee promise gorgeous revelations in orchestral concert music and dazzling visions of beauty in bronze. INVITED 70" SANTA CRUL, The Half-Million Ciub Asked to Participate in the Carnival. Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Sends a Letter of Thanks to the Club. = The people of Santa Cruz want the Half- million Club to participate in the water carnival, June 11 to 15, and sent a formal invitation to the executive committee yesterday. H. J. Crocker, the new presi- dent of the Half-million Club, appointed H. P. Sonntag, A. E. Castle and himself a committee to look into the matter and re- port at the next meeting. Mr. Castle called the attention of the committee to the fact that June 15 was the day for the outing of the merchants and said he believed the club could get the wholesalers to have their picnic at Santa Cruz under the auspices of the Half-mil- lion Club. E. B. Bickford tendered his resignation as a member of the executive committee, explaining that he did not have the time to devote to the position it ret‘uired. F.W. Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association was elected to the vacancy. Plans for the formation of permanent committees were submitted by W. M. Bunker and A. E. Castle. Mr. Bunker suggested eleven committees, to be com- posed of members of the club. Mr. Castle suggested fifteen committees, the chair- man of each to be selected from the execu- tive committee, and the gentlemen so se- lected to choose four co-workers from the club membership. The two plans brought out a full discus- sion of the work the committees would do and the manner of naming them. Louis Sloss suggested that the entire matter be given into the hands of a committee to be composed of Messrs Bunker, Castle, Crocker and Bouvier. This was so erdered with the understanding that the committee should report at the next meeting, which will be announced by the chairman of the executive committee. The following letter was received from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and placed on file: Los ANGELES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Los ANGELES, May 9. Hugh Craig, President Half-million Club, San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR Sik: It affords me great pleasure to advise you that at the regular meeting of the directors of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That our sincere thanks are hereby tendered to the members of the Half-million Club of San Francisco for their evident appreciation of the work, the methods and the policy of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, as shown by their many kindly public expressions, and also by the uncessing and spontaneous courtesies shown to Mr. W.

We sincerely belisve that great good will result to the State at large by unifying its people and encouraging them to make common cause for the bullding up of our vast common- wealth. .

Justice of the Peace Carroll yesterday gave judgment in behalf of Tod Sloan, jockey, in a suit in which Henry Steil, tailor, was plaintiff. The tailor had sent the jockey a bill for a suit of clothes at $70, an overcoat at $70 and a pair of trousers at §18—total, $150. Sloan paid $98 in three instaliments on this bill and there stopped, thinzing he had done enough in that line. Tod is a lightweight, as jockeys have to be, meas- uring a little above three feet high and thick in proportion. The Judge had him stand up, and then questioned the tailor as to the relative cost of making clothes for men of his size and others. The tailor said it was all the same. Testimony for the defense, however, was to the effect that it made a vast difference. The court thought the tailor had been well paid already, and decided for the jockey. e ———————— Mark Twain’s First Lecture.

LEGISLATION IS NEEDED. The Half-Million Club and the State and City Boards of Trade to Attend. An important meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in which the Half-million Club and the State and City Boards of Trade have been invited to participafe will be held to-morrow at1:30 p. 1t at tne rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. The call issued by President Dimond sets forth the objects of the meeting as follows: A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is hereby called by the trustees thereof for Thursday, the 16th day of May, et 1:30 P. m., to consider the.question of & bounty on the exports of agricultura! staples and & tonnage bounty or differential duty in favor of Ameri- can shipping. Both of these great industries re now unprotected, while the Government extends its fostering care over the manufac- turing interests of the country. It is realized that 5o long as the present widespread depres- sion in these two greatunprotected interests prevail there can be no permanent commercial and industrial revival, and that it is therefore the part of sound commercial wisdom to secure such legislation as will I)llce both of them upon an equal’ footing with the most favored industry. The proposition of protection to staple agri- culture by an export bounty has received the lg)proval of the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives, the State Grange of this and other States, and is being widely discussed by the farmers of the country. It was also indorsed by the Legislature of Cali- fornia atits last session in the form of a me- morial to Congress, which was read in the United States Senate by Hon.George C. Per- kins. The idea of uniting shipping and agri culture upon this common ground for prot tion has been indorsed by the prominent ship- ping firms of San Francisco. Believing that a union of the shipping and agricultural interests will be able to accom- plish much of mutual advantage that is be- ond the reach of either unaided, this call is ssued to the membersof the Chamber of Com- merce in the hope that it will be the forerun- ner of such a union. Various attempts have recently been made in this City to overcome the destructive tendencied of this adverse con- dition, as is evidenced in the meeting for the encouragement of home manufactures and in the formation of the Half-million Club. Praiseworthy as these efforts are they alone are insufficient as long as !hetprincipul pur- chasing class, the producers of agricultural staples, must still continue to pay for labor and necessities at nearly as high rates as in former times, and who are at the same time compelled to receive for their products half their former ruling prices. It is scarcely necessary to point out the evil results of this great shrinkage in the purchas- ing power of the farmers. These are apparent in the decline of the demand for labor, in the shrunken values of City and country real estate, in the depreciation in the value of securities, in the lessened value of our exports, which, by forcing gold abroad, threatens the depreciation of our currency. ut of far more importance is the considera- tion that the present depressed condition, un- less remedied, must tend to the elimination of our independent land-owning farmers and their replacement by a low-type peasant ten- antry, thereby not alone destroying the pur- chasing power of the Nation, but also endan- gering the perpetuity of the Republic. The merchants of San Francisco no doubt keenly realize how largély commercial success is de- pendent upon the prosperity of the agricultural and shipping interests. The bounty system helped the tillers of the soil in Great Britain most materially. It resulted, according to the writers on political economy, in securing to them a good price for their products at all times and thus furnished an additional incen- tive to industry. Excursions to Healdsburg. The San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad will run a special excusion train to the Healds- burg fiesta, whereby passengers can take & train at the Tiburon ferry at 7:40 Friday morn- ing and leave Healdsburg at 7 o'clock that night. The round trip will only cost $1 50. If parties desire to attend the entire fiesta they can leave on Wednesday evening, May 16, and not return until the 19th by ?-ymg$3 for the round trip. There will be & big time at Healds- burg and the trip is well worth the money. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. ORPHEUM.
