The filling in of the late James G. Fair's water lots at North Beach is to be resumed on August 1, the heirs having signed a stipula- tion to carry out the contract with Warren and Malley. Considerable improvement work is goingon at the Potrero, and there is a better demand for renting property than there has been in a long time. The Western Addition Improvement Club has been organized with the following officers: President, James Bowlar; vice - president Richard '0’Brien; recording secretary, Ong isands of labor- | ists at the Me- ing the week ending | non the water front, | | horrible death yesterday afternoon that was almost miraculous.

FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND. | The Big Bancroft Suit Is to Be Carried Without Delay to the Supreme Court. The $100,000 suit of H. H. Bancroft against the San Francisco Tool Company is to be appealed to the Snpreme Court. Judge Slack granted a non-suit on the ground thatthe Statutesof Limitations had run against the plaintiffs’ claim—that the statutes began to run from the time the fatal elevator was placed in the Bancroft building, and not from the date of the ter- rible accident in September, 1888, The elevator put in by the San Francisco Tool Company was in daily use two or three years before the accident occurred, and the defendant company sets up the claim that as the elevator had been accepted, it was mot liable for any damages that might accrue from accident subsequent to the time of its acceptance. ‘When the accident occurred in 1888, one person was killed and five or six were more or less seriously injured. The Bancroft Company was sued for damages, and in settlement of the several suits made pay- ments ranging from $3000 to $6000. In the WANT DEAS ABOUT LAWS, Anybody Can Tell the Code Commissioners How to Fix Up the Statutes. HOW THE COMMISSION WORKS. Open Sessions to Be Held Soon to Recelve Suggestions on Re- vising the Codes. PR Nothing has been heard from the Code Commissioners since their appointment, but they are hard at work and very soon now will hold open sessions in this City for the purpose of receiving suggestions from lawyers and laymen who may have ideas about changing laws or making new ones, Of course lawyers are most deeply inter- ested in the work of the Commissioners, but there is much in it of popular interest, too. The work they have to do before the next Legislature meets is extensive and important. Since the laws of the State [ | | | | | | THE CODFISHER JANE FALKENBURG TOWING TO CALIFORNIA OITY. [Sketched by a ** Call” artist.] !in an instant he found himself enveloped in the fierce flames that completely filled the small apartment. He was blinded by the hot burning oil that flew in his face, his hair and eyebrows were singed off, and his oily clothes were set on fire. Throwing himself from the raised plat- form upon which he stood downon the | bottom of the tug he groped his way inthe | darkness of a small passage to the ladder, up which he climbed with' great difficlty the skin slipping off his burned hands. It took him some time to reach the open air | !and he almobt lost his hold on the ircn rungs, being suffocated by the strong fumes | from the fire burning in the forepeak and | | the flames from his clothing. Getting on deck he threw himself over the rail into the water which quenched the fire that was consuming him, but another | danger menaced him. The salt water got { into his eyes and though he had escaped | the flames he was blinded and in danger of | drowning. > | Fortunately some workmen on the dock | saw him struggling for life under the wharf and rescued him. He was taken to the tug-office, and a can of linseed oil emptied on his bleeding face, neck and hands, and the scalded portions of his | body wrapped in cloth. The unfortunate man was a pitiful object, the skin peeling | from the burned places indgren flakes. | Luckily he had not inhaled the flames, consequently his injuries, though severe, are not fatal. The flames_in the hold of the tug were soon extinguished by a_strong stream of | water sent down through a small opening in the deck just over the burning apart- ment. The Pacific Mail steamer San Blas ar- rived yesterday, twenty-two days from Pan- ama, with twenty-eight cabin and twenty- two steerage passengers, and the Panama Railroad Company steamer Progreso in fourteen days. Tom these vessels it is learned that the coast-defense vessel Mon- terey, now at Panama, on her way to San Franciseo, received a trinmphant ovation in Callao. The Peruvians took kindly to the warlike cralt, that was such an im- provement upon the old out-of-date wooden ships with which Uncle S8am has orna- mented their harbors in years past. Recep- tions and entertainments were given on board, and Lima society, under the win, of American Minister Mackenzie, dance around “‘Big Betsy and her mate’’ under the bright tropic stars. Laundryman Ah Sam of 113 Davis street is the sharpest rascal on the water front and the living sequel to Bret Harte's Ah Sing. 8o thinks Captain Dunleavy of the harbor police. A few days ago he reported to the cap- tain that one 0§ his employes had robbed him of $120, and produced’ two witnesses to the theft and an interpreter to tell about it. An officer was detailed to arrest the ac- cused Chinaman and secure the money. Upon arrival at the laundry Ah Sam, his interpreter and the two witnesses were found totally ignorant of a solitary detail of the affair. %‘o questions regarding the culprit they answered ‘‘No sabee,” and so the matter died a natural and easy death. Without doubt the accused man was a victim of Ah Samuel and his con- federates, and was forced by fear of prose- cution to give up his earnings after their return from the police station. Thisis an old trick and 1s known to the police as “China bunko.” It has been frequently played with complete success. The great log raft, which is to be towed from the Columbia River to San Francisco, will soon be ready for its trip. This is the fourth attempt to tow logs down the coast, the other three having met with disaster in the first blow encountered. Poll Dietrich, a one-fourth owner of the schooner Christina Steffins, has sued his artners, R. A. Gilbride, Mary Gilbride, eter Rasmussen, John H. Wilshusen and others, for his share of the earnings of the vessel. He alleges that Rasmussen as captain, and Gilbride, as managing owner, are interested in a woodyard in this City and use the vessel to supply this yard without crediting her for the service. The codfishing barkentine Jane Falken- burg arrived irom the Bering Sea with a large cargo of fish. She lost her fore- topgallant mast in a fierce gale in the north, which lasted several days. The barkentine Fremont came in Thursday night, also from the north, with 160,000 and ten barrels of codfish. Both vessels went directly to California City. AN EXEQCUTRIX SUSPENDED.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys contend that the Statutes of Limitation did not begin to run until the date of the accident, and that the acceptance of the elevator by the Bancroft people did not relieve the San Fran- cisco Tool Company from any legal respon- sibility resulting. from an aecident which might be traced to defective construction. Hence the appeal to the Supreme Court. The Bancroit Company paid out several thousand dollars in the settlement of dam- age claims, and 1n addition, it sets forth | that by reason of the accident the reputa- | tion of the building suffered and the busi- ness of the company was injured. N WHO WANT TOWOBK More Orders for Help Placed in the State’s Free Labor Bureau. Wageworkers’ Unions Opposed to the Salvation Army’s Pro- posed Farm. The total registration at the State's Free Labor Bureau yesterday was 2500, of which 2000 applicants for work were men. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald felt greatiy en- | couraged, for he had been able to secure | employment for a large number, and every day the orders for help have been increas- ing. Yesterday a well-known Jocal canning and packing firm placed with htm an order for 150 women and girls to pick and cut fruit. The women can earn about $1 on an_average, but experts can make from $175to $2. Another firm in the same line of business gave an order a week or s0 ago for 500 to 800 women and girls. But few women would accept housework |and cooking at less than $25 to $35 a | month. A number of good positions were offered to the unemployed. Seyeral orders were placed for engineers, blacksmiths, carpen- ters, machinists, teamsters and woodsmen. Fair wages were offered, but many of the applicants for work seemed to insist upon receivin good wages. Several days ago Ca:ipmin McFee of the Salvation Army asked for the Labor Com- missioner's co-opefation in organizing and operating a farm for the employment of many idle single men, similar to the one near Detroit. Much to Mr. Fitzger- ala’s surprise he has received several let- ters opposing his having anything to do with the Salvation Army pflwle. ‘The op- sition came from the Wageworkers’ nion on the ground that the plan would exclude men with families. The first labor union to respond to the Labor Commissioner’s reqtiest for co-opera- fion and support in gathering statistics and helping the unemployed was Cigar- makers’ Union No. 228. EXEMPT FIREMEN'S MONEY Recommendations by the Judiciary Committee of the Board of Supervisors. At the meeting of the Judiciary Com- mittee of the Supervisors yesterday the petition of the Point Lobos Improvement Club for an appropriation of $12,000 for the improvement of Point Lobos square, bounded by Bay. Chestnut, Laguna and Webster streets, was referred to the Fi- nance Committee. The committee recommended appro- priating from the general fund $9000 for the relief of Exempt Firemen, in accord- :nce with a law passed by the last Legisla- ure. N. T. Whitcomb of 205 Third street had a grievance. He stated that he had paid his taxes for 1893, and that about a montn ago he received a notice that his property shad been sold for the taxes. On the advice ofa clerk in the Tax Collector's office, ‘Whitcomb paid S. F. Sinclair $12 64 for the tax certificate and asked the board to re- munerate him. He was given $5 and some good advice regarding bunko men. Ocean Exeursions. Steamship Pomona, to Santa Cruz and Mon- terey, leaves Saturdays, 4 P. M., due back Mon- dtyl,; 5 A. M. Ticket 4 New lont‘mu.r: were codified in 1872 there has been a | great mass of legislation enacted and the | laws bearing upon a given thing are often found to be now jumbled up among the different codes and to be amended, re- amended and often conflicting. Then a | great number of laws have been modified in effect or declared unconstitutional in whole or in part by the decisions of the Supreme Court, running through twenty- three“years. g Then many acts, framed principally by legislators whose forte was neither the clear and exact use of the English lan- guage nor the legal ghmning ofa an, are so obscure and mixed up that nobody is sure what they mean unless the Supreme Court has declared it. In these and other ways the statutes of the State have been sadly in need of revision for years. The Commissioners have first taken up the Penal Code and are at work on that, dividing the labor among them. Each law |is read in connection with all decisions and all other laws bearing upon it and compared with corresponding statutes of other States and countries. “There are sections of the Penal Code that 'ave been declared unconstitutional and should beex!i_uu%d," said Commis- sioner Ryland T. Wallace yesterday. *Others have been found not to com- pletely cover the crimes they concern. As an_illustration, when Mayor Kalloch was indicted in 1881 for demanding and re- ceiving $50 a month which was added to the suFary of a man_he as Election Com- missioner had npfgainted to a position in the Registrar's office a demurrer was sus- tained on the ground that no promise beforehand being shown there was no offense under the law. It was found to be not a public.offense for a public officer to receive part of the salary of another officer whose appointment he had procured. The statute was lame, “Not long ago in this State a man burned his own house, as he had a right to do at common law, and burned other people’s housee with it. The court held that the section defining arson did not meet the case. The present English statute defin- ing arson would have made the act a crime. Our description of arson is not complete. “These are illustrations taken at ran- dom. As we do not ap?lly the common law to crimes, our criminal laws need to be especially clear, specific and comprehen- sive, without lonpholea through which criminals may escape, and there is much in the Penal Code that needs revision and amplitication, There are things in other codes that belong in the Penal Code, be- cause they are penal in effect. “8o, all thmugh the codes there are found laws passed with no comprehensicn of their effect on other laws. It has even happened that two similar laws on the same subject have been passed and been approved on the same day. There are ltnn;ie inconsistencies, such as the repeal- ing of portions of a faw and improperly leaving other portions standing.” - The Supreme Court has had many a hard tussle with California statutes, and has frequently made, in decisions, observa- tions on the kind of laws that come from Sacramento, and acts have been character- ized as “‘strange legislation.” The Commissioners are now piling up notes themselves, and have already re- ceived, unsolicited, many written sugges- tions, all of which are filed in the Commissioners’ office at Sacramento. A number of attorneys and Judges have romised to submit expositions of peculiar laws that they have especially studied. It is likely that when the Commissioners officially open the floodgates of suggestions by inviting ideas from anybody, there will be an avalanche from distinguished jurists and attorneys down to cranks with strange ideas and hobbies about law as it shouid be. At the o sessions for the official re- ception of ideas particular branches of the law will be considered at particular ses- sions. The first session will probably be held in the Supreme Court building in a few weeks. 2 The report of the Commissioners to the Legi.l-mn will be a very voluminous one, and if its recommendations are ‘adopted the reading of the statutes will be exten- sively changed throughout. When the four codes with their legion of amend- ments are thus rewritten, reconstructed and pulled together it may be possible, as it is not now, for any intelligent citizen to find out for himself what the law is on any matter. i The Commissioners are chuind with recommending also new legislation which in their judgment is needed. They will recommend a good deal of legislation goin, to the nature and effect of civil and crimi- nal statutes as well as to their form, ex- pression and arrangement, and that feature of their work promises to be especially interesting and important. It is intimated that important ch::ses in the laws regulating methods of local govern- ment and corporations in their relations to the peonle, for instance, will undoubtedly be recommended. So Judge Daly, Judge Baldwin and Mr. ‘Wallace have a hig job in revising and im- proving all the laws of California, and everybody in the State will have a free chance to get in and help. The coming session of the Legislature may be already shorn of some of its terrors by the fact that every act proposed will go through the hands of the Code Commissioners before it becomes a law. COLLISION WITH A CAR. James Comerford Probably Fatally In- Jured in a Collision on Cali- fornia Street. As the result of a collision with a Cali- fornia-street cable-car, young James Com- erford lies at his father’s home on Hyde street, near Pine, suffering from injuries that may prove fatal. Yesterday morning, at6:30 o’clock, Com- erford was driving a wagon belonging to the Cable Market on Larkin street. He turned into California street, and when opposite the cable company’s power and car house was run into by a car moving from the house to the main line. The young fellow was thrown violently to the Eround,nnd sustained injuries about the ead of a serious nature. Dr. Barger was summoned, and he im- mediately ordered the unconscious boy re- moved to his home. An examination dis- closed the fact that young Comerford was suffering from severe concussion of the brain. There were moments during the afternoon when consciousness came to him, though at a late hour last night he was far from being out of danger. As soon as the car struck the wagon the horse wheeled abruptly around, and in a mad flight down Caliiornia street to Larkin succeeded in demolishing the vehicle in a second collision with a Larkin-street car. —————————— FORREST SEABURY BURIED. Theater People Attest Their Esteem ‘With Floral Pieces. The funeral of Forrest Seabury, the scene painter, who died suddenly after finishing a drop curtain at Morosco’s, oc- curred yesterday afternoon from under- taking parlors in this City. Among those present was a large number of theatrical eople. The Baldwin orchestra, under the eadership of August Hinrichs, furnished the music. The floral offerings were nu- merous and expressive of the esteem in which the deceased was held. The painter’s last words, “The Drop Is Done” and “The Gates Ajar,” by the Morosco company, and “The Last Scene of All,” by the Al Hayman company, were conspicu- ous among the mottoes. The remains were interred in Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, a band from the ?dnsicinna‘ Union joining the escort to the erry. — - Neglected His Child. Edward Steinway was arrested yesterday on & charge of fafling to provide for his 13-year-old boy. ONLY FOUNDATIONS BUIL Work Is Stopped on the Great California-Street Apart- ment-House. THE ARCHITECTS ARE UNPAID. Ghostly Walls That Form a Queer Contrast to the Adjoining Smart Residences. The plan of building a magnificent twelve-story apartment-house at the cor- ner of California and Taylor streets has apparently entirely collapsed. Though those interested in the Nob Hill Development Company, which was to con- struct the edifice at a cost of $200,000, pro- fess to believe that the house will still tower above Charles F. Crocker’s residence across the street, the chances seem to be against such a consummation of the plans. In their present state the foundations of the great structure, the only portion that was constructed, present a desolate ap- pearance but little in keeping with the trim residences along the street. The calls of the masons and teamsters demanding that the helpers produce more stone or mortar, or that the horses domore work, have given way to the shouts of urchins who run about on the tops of the concrete walls and play hide and seek among the deserted chambers. Had the entire building been finished in as substantial a manner as the foundations it would doubtless have been one of the strongest buildings in the City. The surface of the lot on which opera- tions were begun stood ten to fifteen feet above California street and was a mass of rock so solid that in order to get down to a level with the thoroughfare the contract- ors were compelled to blast it away. Even this did not satisfy the ?mjectors and the contractors delved several feet inte the earth before the work of building up the foundations was begun. Then, when they had risen a few feet above the level of the ground, huge arches and massive walls were placed at such fre- uent intervals that only passages between them were left. When the foundation walls were complete and given a smooth finish the work stopped apparently never to_be resumed. ‘Weeds are beginning to make their ap- pearance among the deserted rooms. many of which will become wells of water when the winter rains have poured a flood upon them. Those gray, ghostly looking walls represent a large outlay of money, which it is said will fall on the contracters who built them and not on the Development Company.
