THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1895. TEACHERS" PENSION FUND. City Attorney Creswell Sub- mits an Important Opinion. A TRIAL BEFORE DISMISSAL, The Manner of the Creatlon of the Fund Still a Little Cloudy. Sup ntendent of Schools Moulder, who has been ill, put in an appearance at his office yesterday, and was the recipient of congratulations from principals and teachers. The teachers, by the way, wereallina y about two different and distinct natters affecting their interests and duties, but they begged the Superintendent to be- ware of giving them any thought in the fear of its causing him a relapse. One of these was the order requiring them to report the residence of their pupils on a new “block system” looking to the redistricting of the City for the schools. The other was the new pension law, over which not only teachers, butlawyers, have been struggling to gain some understand- ing since the L ure adjourned. Some time ago Superintendent Moul- der suomitted a request to City and County Attorney Creswell asking his opinion upon the essential features of the law. Late yesterday afternoon the opinion in due form was handed him. The superintendent, however, had not time to give it such attention as would warrant him in expressing an opinion upon the matter. The law, he said, was of so mixed a quality thatit was doubtful if any lawyer could make anything out of it. reswell’s communication is as follow Andrew J. 3Moulder, Superintendent Common Schoo 1 have received your communication submitiing questions suggested by the act ap- proved March 1895 (Stats. 1895, p. 170), and requesting my opinion upon the same, h this commupieation, ‘tion 3 does. not give the board the power arbitrarily declare that a teacher who has in the public schools for twenty years tatedm fro performing the .’ The incapacity to perform “the duties of » teacher” must exist in fact, ist by the Board of Ed- 8 rarily aring that it does exist. 'he discretion is given to retire the teacher when the incapacity exists, and not to estab- sh an incapacity when none exists. ection 6 alone provides & way for the crea- 1 of the pension fund. Itreads as follows: . 6. To provide a fund for the payments ded for in this act, the secretary of the ard of Education of each municipality shall fy monthly to the treasurer of such muni- and the Board of Trustees in every istrict outside of such municipality certify and pay over in like manner to County Treasurer of each county,and 1 ent of the amount due each teacher as salary for the previous month; and all moneys ived from any other source shall be paid to County Treasurer to the credit of such 1. Such board shall also receive and place to the credit of such fund all moneys received m donations, legaces, gifts, bequests or erwise.” Upon the construction of the unhappy ob- ties of this section depends the practical of this meritorious statute. It 1s plain the conjunction ‘‘and” preceding the “one per cent” has no grammatical g in this sentence. It is asyntactical or &n estray impounded there by a misdi- ccted legislative energy. It means nothing ere it is, it prevents the sentence from meaning anything, and consequently no rule of construction can be violated by omitting it I'yen the sentence, omitting the part refer 8! to school ‘districts outside of municipali- should read as follows: provide a r the payments provided for in this act, cretary of the Board of Education of each ty shall certify monthly to the asurer of such municipality * * = 1 rcent of the amount due each teacher as ary for the previous month.” means that the secretary shall at the fl X sha T end of each month certify to the treasurer of ¢ municipality what amount of money is 1 er cent of the teacher’s salary for the previous month, which 1s the beginning and_ending of the of the secretary of the Board of Educa- tion in this matter. The object of this certificate is to inform the urer of the amount due from each teacher purpose of providing a fund for the pay- of the pension. Still the act does not say xpress terms that the 1 percent of the of the teacher in the mungcipslily filing otice required by the act must be paid by such teacher, or that it can be collected from for that or any other purpose by any- he fund cannot exist without money, and the only certain way of obtaining it is from collections from the teachers. The money cannot be obtained by the certificate of the eecretary of the Board of Education alone. The. certificate of the secretary must be presumed 1o have been required for some purpose, and the only purpose it can serve is to be made, in conjunction with the notice, the basis of the voluntary or involuntary payment of the amount due from each teacher at the end of each month. The signing and delivery of the notice, required by the act, make it compul- sory upon the teachers to bear whatever bur- den is required of them by the act, in order that they may enjoy its benefits. The only burden is the payment of 1 per cent of the salary of each month, and the benefit is the pension to be paid. “The treasurer is made the custodisn of this notice and ex-officio treasurer of the fund. The possession of this notice informs the treasurer what teachers are bound to bear the burden of the act, and the receipt by him of the certifi- cate of the secretary of the Board of EQucation informs him of the amount that should be paid | by sa1d teacher. In my opinion, no other person being bur- denea with this information, and no one being expressly charged with the duty of collecting the money, the Legislature intended that it should be the duty of the treasurer to retain from the salary warrants of such teachers the sum of money 5o found to be due the fund from each. 1 am irresistibly led to this conclusion de- spite the unfortunate obscurities and crude- ness of this piece of legisiation. I would sug- gest, in order to avoid complicationswith pur- chasers of the warrants of teachers bound by the provisions of the act, that the sum due the fund on account of the notice filed by them be made toappear acrossthe face of each war- rant, so that the purchaser would have notice of the sum the treasurer could retain out of same. Yours very truly, HARRY T. CRESWELL, Attorney and Counselor. Dated June 4, 1895. This opinion, however, disposes of the question which has chiefly worried the teachers—whether or not the law gives to the Board of Education the right to dis- miss a teacher without trial simply be- cause she has been in active service for twenty years, In Mr. Creswell’s opinion the board cannot, under this law, dismiss a teacher until incapdeity is shown to exist— which means that she shall have a trial in regular form. This will donbtless give a boom to the organization of the pension fund, or rather the formal acceptance of the pro-* ions of the law by the teachers. ey 1 | as a committee to look after the bequest in one of the wills of the late Senator Fair to the pension fund. | The Railroad Company Prepares a Time- Limit Schedule for Excursions to the Conventions. | For the convenience of people who in- | tend taking advantage of the four big ex- | cursions from San Francisco, to be given in July, August and September, the South- ern Pacific Company has arranged a time schedule, and will sell tickets on stated days.

A Pullman Train Service That In- cludes Three Days’ Hotel Accommodations. There will be no difficulty about getting to Santa Cruz during the water carnival. Ample facilities, both by water and land will be afforded from San Francisco and return by the transportation companies. The special Sunday excursion train service will be put on daily and the Los Gatos train will be run through to Santa Cruz. Commencing Tuesday, the 11th, the nar- row-gauge trains will leave the foot of Mar- ket street on the following time: 7:45 and 8:15 in the morning, and 2:15and 4:45 in the afternoon. On the broad gauge there will be no special service other than that provided for the accommodation of the Half-million Club and its guests, and the special sleeping and dining car train, via Niles and San Jose, that leaves the ferry depot at 5 o’clock on the evening of the 14th. This seryice is for the accommoda- tion of those who desire to attend the ball. Tickets for this service are $8 for the round trip, lasting three days, and including sleeping accommodations on the train for three nights. Meals will be served on the train a la carte. Persons who go by this train will need no other hotel accommoda- tions than those furnished on the cars. The regular broad-gzauge service, starting from the ferry, to Santa Cruz, includes one train at 815 o'clock in the morning and one at 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon. Special round.-trip tickets, good from the date of sale until and including the 18th, will be placed on sale at _the ticket offices of the Southern Pacific in San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley on Satur- day morning, the 8th. The price of the tickets will be $2 80, which is the usnal single-fare rate. Saturday next the regular parlor-car service on the narrow gauge between here and Santa Cruz will be put on for the rest of the season. On Saturday, also, a second campers’ excursion will 'be run to the mountains of Santa Cruz. The excursion likely to be repeated frequett!y during the summer months. Over 1100 passengers went on the last excursion, and even a larger party will R_robnbly avail them- selves of this one. The train leaves on the narrow gauge at the foot of Market street at 7:45 o’clock Satarday morning, and ar- rives here at 8:15 o’clock in the evening. The round-trip ticket is only §1 25. The Hali-million Club has accepted an invitation to visit Santa Cruz during the Venetian Water Carnival. A special train of seven Pyllman cars and diner will leave the depot, Third-and Townsend streets, Friday, June 14, at 4:30 ». M., returning to this city early Mominy morning, the 17th. The train will be at the disposition of members’ families and their guests during the entire stay at Santa Cruz, thus avoid- ing the necessity of securing hotel accom- modations while there. The Southern Pa- cific will have a ticket agent at the office of the Half-million Club, rooms 4 and 5, fifth floor, Mills building, Tnesday and Wednesday, the 1ith and 12th of tais month, so that members can procure their tickets for themselves, families and friends. No tickets will be sold for this train after the evening of the 12th inst. A special rate, including transportation and sleeper for three days and mghts, has been fixed at $8 for the entire trip. All members of the club with their families and friends are invited. Special arrangements have been made by the directors of the carnival for their reception and entertainment. To Santa Cruz by water is a longer but a very pleasant tri?. The steamship Po- mona makes weekly trips to Santa Cruz and Monterey. She leaves Broadway wharf Saturdays at 4 o’clock in the after- noon, reaches Santa Cruz the same even- ing between 9 and 10 o’clock, remains there till 8 o’clock in the morning, when she runs down to Monterey in two hours. On the return trip the Pomona leaves Monterey at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon and Santa Cruz at 10 o'clock the same evening, and arrives at this City at 5 o’clock Monday morning. The round fare for this trip is $4 to Sanfa Cruz and §5 to Monterey. Those who desire it may take the steamer Eureka to Santa Cruz on the 10th or the steamer St. Paul on the 14th. In returning the St. Paul leaves Santa Cruz on the 12th and the Eureka on the 16th. The local fare by boat is $250 each way or $4 for the round trip. With all these facilities at hand there seems to be but little dnn%er that anybody who cares to attend the festival will'be hindered for lack of transportation there and back. Bt Mo s e Two Street Arabs. The boy must have been pretty hard up, for he had no shoes or stockings on his feet. He had with him another boy who have been holding off for fear of placing themselves in position to be: retired on pension.without appeal. Among the champions of the law and one who was largely instrumental in secur- ing its passage is Mrs. Craven, who, at the meeting of the teachers at tHe Girls’ High School to discuss it, stated that she knew a lady who intended to give the fund, if established, a gift of $25,000. Y A. L. Mann said he had the word of three lawyers for it that the teachers could not be retired without a trial. Miss Hunt was of the same opinion. She said that it was well known there were teachers in the department who should be retired, but who had no means of liveli- hood. She was willing, she said, to con- tribute a portion of ner salary each month toward their support. She had no doubt, the fund being in the hands of public officials, it would receive many gifts and beq{uesu from the rich. Mrs. Grifiith referred to the retirement of Inspector Byrnes after twenty years’ ser- vice upon a pension of $3000 a'year, while John Swett, after forty years of faithful service, retired without a nickel. A. L. Mann, Mr. White and Mrs. Craven Were appointed at the meeting referred to occupied just about the same position in the juvenile financial world. There was a little wooden crucifix hnniover the door of a Catholicinstitution. Before the image of the Savior these two waifs of the street paused and looked at it for a moment. “That wuz purty tough on ’im, wasn’t it?”’ remarked the elder, who had been told at some time during his youthful career the story of the crucifixion. *“The couldn’t hev’ bhad much blood in their veins, thet crowd, could dey, Pete?”” ‘“Naw,” replied Pete, “just cold tea, I ot's this here?” “W’y, a new buildin’.” 1t was an hour past noon and the men who had laid down the burden of life for sixty short minutes had taken it up again and were hard at work upon an u&mr story. On the ground floor, where they had met to eat, some newspapers and other debris which told of lunch were scattered. “Let’s go in,” said Pete; ‘‘mebbe there’s scraps or somethin’.”’—Chicago Dispatch. ————————— ‘PLAIN gilts, cream and gold, green and gold, English and antique oaks :r:d “the finishes in 1 lding just received.

Handed by Paulsell to an Offi- cer After the Faro-Bank Robbery. BERT DONS A MACKINTOSH. Curlosity Aroused as to What Line the Defense Intends to Pursue. The prosecution rested yesterday in the case of E. W. Paulsell, charged with rob- bing the Carroll faro bank on Market street of nearly §5000, and the defense will open this morning. Considerable interest has been aroused in the case, and Judge Belcher’s courtroom | bailiff, M. J. Sullivan, was deputed to bar the door against the crowd which sought seats in excess of the supply. The toils have been drawing closer around Paulsell, and the defense declines to show its hand. From the evidence it can only be gathered thatit will be at- tempted to show that there is no direct evidence connecting Paulsell with the rob- bery, and that all testimony against him is | an eloquent pistol which had forced him from the outer to the inner room and kept him facing a wall there. He had fumbled | at the front window after the robbers’ exit, | but failed to open it for a while, when | Porter Allen had raised it. Then he had seen two men looking like the robbers de- camping in different directions. He | couldn’t tell whether the robbery occupied | an hour, or half an hour, or five minutes, or any time at all. X James Watson, 2 special police officer, | helped to arrest Paulsell at the entrance to the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, while the faro-bank employes were shouting ‘“Stop thief!” from a window. Paulsell, who then wore a mackintosh and soft black hat, | handed him a stocking full of gold without remark. The officer afterward secured other pieces of gold picked up on the side- walk. At the station the money was lumped together; there were at least thi | teen twenties in the stocking. A big, loaded pistol was found on the prisoner | Paulsell’s person. Special Officer Martin Tehaney was the first to accost Paulsell, who had said very little. Toa remark “I shouldn’t think a man of your appearance would be in a thing of this kind,” the Yrisioner had merely replied, “That’ll be all right.” | Beside the stocking of gold Paulsell had | only about 10 or 15 cents in his possession. | Under cross-examination it was brought | out that Paulsell would have had plenty of | time to run away before the officer’s ap- proach had he been so disposed.

[Reproduced from a sketch made for the *“Call” by Kahler] circumstantial and cumulati From certain questions in cross-examination it seems likely that Paulsell’s attorneys will contend that he was merely passing the bank at the time, was attracted by the crowd, and picked up $1000 in eoin spilt by the fleeing robbers. A number of wit- nesses are exdpectcd to testify to the de- fendant’s good character, There was a steady addingof links to the case of the prosecution yesterday. One incident of the morning trial was vhe don- ning by Attorney Bert of one of the mack- intoshes supposed to _have been worn by one of the masked robbers, in order that a witness'might refresh his memory as to its appearance. More of the faro bank em- ployes retold the story of the hold-up and police officers narrated the circumstances of Paulsell’s arrest. The first witness was J.J. Allen, a police officer, who had shown to Paulsell a mac- intosh after his arrest. Paulsell had re- marked that it looked like his coat. J. A. Smith, doorkeeper of the faro bank, told about his memory of the rob- bery and directed Attorney Bert how to adjust over his shoulders the mackintosh produced so as to make him look like one of the masked thieves. After the raid was over he went outand picked up $180 on the sidewalk, where it had been_dropped by the robbers. Hammill and Billy George had picked up $160 and $180 respectively. His duty was to look out for undue in- terruptions to the game which he knew was illegal. It had been running five months, and Paulsell was a frequent vis- itor. It was customary for players to keep ‘‘going the rounds.” The door be- .| tween the inner and outer rooms was kept locked, and he only admitted patrons, who had to knock at the door to be released. J. C. Satterlee’s testimony at the police court trial was read, contributing nothing of moment. Harry Bowman, a hackman stationed at the gore of Kearny, Market and Geary streets, proved an important witness. He had sprinted down toward the scene of the robbery a few minutes after its occurrence and had seen a man apparently changing his clothes in a basement entry at 626 Mar- ket street. His attention had been called to the man by J. K. Landis, an employe at Madison & Burke’s office above the entry. He saw the man emerge, wearing a brown overcoat and a derby hat, and he followed him until he disappeared up Kearny street. The defense objected very strongly to this testimony, which was understood to refer to the second, unarrested robber, on the ground that no conspiracy had been proved in the matter,but the court held that it was not necessary to prove a con- spiracy. ~ Then defendant’s counsel at- tacked Bowman on other grounds. “You could have arrested this man, could you not 7 was asked. “Why didn’t ou? *‘Oh, yes; I could have,” reglied the witness nonchalantly, “but it didn’t in- terest me; “Idon’t stake my life against anything that don’t interest me. I didn’t see him do anything wrong.”” The witness had then gone back to get some of the money he heard was scattered round, and at Landis’ suggestion searched the basement entrg. There he found a mackintosh, two hats (one soft, one a derby) and a mask. He had thrown the mask away later, but kept the coat, as it fitted him, until it was claimed by De- tective Ben Bohen. 3 “You didn’t volunteer any information about the coat?” queried the defense, “Certainly not.” “Didn’t you conceal the coat and keep quiet about it because you recognized the man in the entry and wished to hide the %vidence of his crime?” asked Attorney ert. This theory was vigorously denied by Bowman, who declared that he had never seen the man before and only noticed that he was white and not colored and wore a mustache. % i John E. Hammill, a ‘visitor” at the faro-rooms while they were robbed, was somewhat forgetful of all the circum- stances of the raid. His main impressions were the command, “Hands up,” and of | | fied to finding the loaded pistol on Paulsell | at the Southern police station, and the | prosecution rested. ALONG THE WATER FRONT, War of the Three C.’s Over the Appointment of a Harbor Employe. The Synonymously Named Craft Ocean Spray, Alias Sea Foam, ! Goes to Sea. The State Harbor Commission crossed swords with itself yesterday over the re- moval of William Cruse, superintendent of tugsand dredgers, and the appointment of Louis Heste to the position. The first stroke of hostilities came when President Colnon proposed the removal of the old superintendent, and Commissioner Cole vigorously opposed the motion. “It is a plan,” said he, “‘to replace all the old efficient employes, especially the heads of the departments, with Democrats. A better man than Cruse could not be found. By putting this new man over the tugs and dredgers it will place that whole department under the control of his politi- cal party.” Commissioner Chadbourne said that he would not let his party affiliationsinterfere with his duty as a public official, and as he believed that President Colnon was striv- ing to promote the good of the service he would vote with that officer in this case. The question was put to a vote and Commissioners Colnon and Chadbourne snowed Commissioner Cole’s solitary bal- lot under. A warm argument occurred between the three Commissioners, in which the names of two political parties were mentioned. Colonel Chadbourne felt his military ire getting up and objected to his political brother’s strong language on the Eround_ that Colnon, as executive officer, as a right to make the appointment. Cole denied this, but the appointment was re- corded. By this test the Republican employes on the water front say their heads are under the suspended ax, and that Commissioner Chadbourne will in the future vote with the president. Others more thoughtful say that the colonel has a retentive memory and is now getting back at the Cole-Basseft combine that worked so efliciently against hix;:t in the matter of patronage’in times past. Thomas Deasy was nominated for the gositinn of wharfinger at Steuart street by ole, and was elected without opposition. A communication from the Manufactur- ers’ Association was read asking that a galvanized iron roof to be places on the ferry building be purchased of local man- ufacturers. No action was taken regarding the China Basin lease, as Governor Budd was absent in the upper portion of the State. The schooner Sea Foam sailed yesterday for Iversens Landing, a notable fact in that it is her first trip to sea under that name. Her last voyage was made asthe Qcean Bpray, when it will be remembered she was found off Point Reyes on her beam- ends and abandoned. Her captain and crew were lost, and from the day they sailed out of Iversens Landing nothing has been heard of them. ————— England and Wales furnished 23,763 army recruits in 1894, tland 8232 and Ireland 3446, as compared with 28,444, 3046 and 3857 respectively in 1893. The per- centage of rejections was 40.3, as compared ‘with 41.0 in 1893, 13,020 being rejected for ‘“‘yarious ailments” and 11,958 for ‘want of physical development.” CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HOME. | A Peculiar Institution That| Has No Parallel in This | Country. | HOW PATIENTS ARE TREATED. | A House Without a Head—Unclois~ tered and Unhabited Nuns Know No Fear. | A peculiar institution is located at 1231 Pine street. For nearly three years it has | been quietly pursuing its work, which, at least as far as its business basis is con- cerned, has no parallel in the United | States. It is known as the Christian Sci- | ence Home. A sweet-faced young woman ushered a CALL representative into the audience- room. Then she began to talk of the “Divince principle within us” and ‘‘our joint inheritance with Christ.” “How do you treat patients?”’ was asked. ““We treat them solely by awakening their conscience of the divinity within them,” | was the answer. “We talk with them about the reality, which is the good, and show them that in their thought alone | disease exists. Qur system is simply prayer, which asks that the patient come into the light of truth, when we know the | claims of error and the physical will dis- appear. : “We keep no records of our patients,” she said, ““so I could scarcely strike an average. Sometimes we have thirty a day, sometimes fewer. Of late we have had what the world calls ‘difficult cases,’ some of whom were morphine fiends. But there, I should not use that word, ‘fiends.’ I never shall again. A few of them have not rid themselves of the habit, because they were not sure they had been ‘satis- fied’ by the drug. Others who were weary of the fancied hold upon them have aban- | doned the habit and are leading beautiful Christ lives. ““We deal with all sorts of patients and all kinds of physical claims as Jesus did. He never looked at the external. He ap- pealed to the ‘I,” the real self. We know that no matter how strong the belief in disease, or the claimsof the physical, there is no case that cannot be cured. We know | this from experience, and we have de- monstrated that, ‘Whatsoever ye ask, be- lieving, it shall be given you.’ ““There is no fixed charge. We use the voluntary system. Ifa patientis not able to pay he is not asked to do so. The amount itself, and, indeed, paying at all, is optional. We know our wants will be supplied. That has been proved to usin the past, and we bave no anxiety.” {2 ?’ho is the head of the institution?” was the next query. “There is no_head. God is working through us, and makes us his instru- ments,” “But Miss Fulton’s name is used in that connection.” “Yes, there are times when some name must be used for business purposes, but we avoid -glorification above all things.” Adjoining the building over whose door appears in golden letters the sign *‘Chris- tian Science Home” is another neat but unpretentious two-story building where the material wants of eighteen followers of the peculiar faith are looked after. | “There is a fixed price foraccommodations there,” said the young lady. ‘“We charge $5 & week for board and the price of rooms varies. We require only thatapplicants be Christian Scieutists or those interested. ‘We never talk of sickness or sin. Thatisa requirement. We discuss strength, health and good, for they are the only realties.” The first building which, it was stated, ‘was used solely for spirituaf purposes, con- sisted of the little chapel or audience-room, with, its eighty chairs, its small reading- desk and masses of lilies and Marechal Neil roses, a large room adjoining, which is used for the *‘silent services” from 10 to 11 A. M. and 7 to 7:30 p. M., two treatment- rooms which are in nowise different from | the average sitting-room, and the patients’ rooms. The patients usually come for a treatment and go away, but a few remain there for a few (fays and occupy the rooms assigned during that time. *‘Have you had special training for the management of this institution?’ was asked, and the reply was, “None but what | God has given us. Miss Fulton and I were both invalids. and were restored to health | by Christian Science and know its wonder- | ful value. The house is in our charge en- | tirely and we never have any fear either of the patients or people from outside. The doors are never locked. ‘Perfect love casteth | out fear.’”’ At Newmarket there are two courses, the | long and the round. The first is exactly | four miles und about 380 yards, i.e., 74 yards. The second is 6640 yards. Chil- ders, the swiftest horse ever kown, has run the first course in 7:30 and the second in 6:40, which is at the rate of more than 49 feet in a second.
