2 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1895. THE MECHANICS' ~ FAIR, More Steps in the Preliminary Work Taken by the Board of Trustees. SUME OF THE NEW FEATURES, The Floor Plan Is a New Departure From That of Pest Exhl- bitlons. President Hallidie presided last night at the meeting of the board of trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute, held for the purpose of taking action in connection with the opening of the fair in the ravilion. After some discussion it was decided not to aavertise the fair in any of the weekly papers in this City, nor in any of the inte- rior journals, but torestrict the advertising n Francisco dailies to the number application of Mrs. B. Rumney to ed to solicit woman’s work for in the woman’s department e employment committee. zht Company offered to n, except the art gallery but it is considered an that thisin conjunction with the bill for gas would make the lighting too expensive, therefore the offer was declined and the Il be as in the past. was awarded the privilege of ecream and soda for $2290, and that for the sale of popcorn for $36C. The matter of a tamale factory and res- taurant was referred to a committee. W. H. Ma: ill in consideration of $20 be allowed 1o sell canes and whips. pay 25 per cent of perfumery, and J. to sell root beer. . Cumming and Root Tustees were appointed a committee on aquarium and fish exhibit. Superintendent Symth will move his of- fice to the Pavilion to-day, The superintendent then read his report in which he said: The floor plan, which is a departure from those heretofore, and which, it is_expected, will be found not only eonvenient, but, being of & symmetrical and somewhat ornate char- acter, will present an attractive appearance from ‘above. The first is to facilitate the move- ment of large crowds of people. The floor plan hes, therefore, been so arranged that crowds of visitors will move in_intersecting directions. The second object is _the enhancement of the beauty of the exhibit by having as much front. sge to exhibits as possible. Incidentally it may be stated that for the pur- pose of diversity of effect and beautifying of the general appearance, spaces have been ar- PROMEKADE Diagram of Gallery. ranged for Enrlicullrly attractive or orna- mental exhibits, which wiil stand by them- selves in the center at the junction of aisles. It is the intention of the superintendent to make the gallery on the Polk-street side one of the attractive places of the fair, in which will be congregated many light manufacturing pro- cesses of particular interest, such as silk weav- 1nlu and modeling in clay. tis the desire of the management to, as far as possible, consult the preference of exhibi- tors in the location of their exhibits, and they will in all cases concede to an exhibitor the Jocation which he deems the most appropriste to hisexhibit if such location can be made available. With the object of receiving such expressions of preference it is suggested that exhibitors will cut from this paper the diagram upon which he shall mark tbe location which he desires for his exhibit and send the same at once to the superintendent of the exposition. Such will receive the most careful and con- :gdenu attention by the committee on loca- ions. The amount of space applied for in the ma- chinery department has aiready far exceeded the available space. A large portion of the main floor of the build- ing will be occupied by manufacturing pro- cesses, which will receive their power from the same line of shafting. It is the present inten- tion of the exhibit committee to occupy the hall which adjoins the Pavilion on the glylye!— street side, commonly called the ‘annex,” with exhibits pertaining to the subject of roads and road-mal 'his will form a most interesting and attractive department of the exposition. Many of the exbibitors are mak- ing elaborate X,rm]au'-ncms in this department, besides the Merchants’ Association, who will Ll have a joint exhibit, pertaining to the same subject, comprising individual exhibits by members of that organization. Manufacturing enterprises which have never before been brought to the notice of the public will be there seen in large variety and in actual operation. _ The interior counties are waking up to the importance of the forthcoming exposition, and ap{-)icmflonx for space are coming in in a sur- prising manner. The entire space in the Pavil- ion available for exhibits is estimated at 80, square feet. There are applications at present for 76,000 square feet. Scheel is preparing a select musical pro- gramme for the opening exercises. FRANCHISES IN DANGER. Electric Street Railways That Carry Freight Must Report to the Rail- road Commissioners. The usual monthly meeting of the Rail- road Commissioners was postponed yester- day for a week, as Commissioner Clarke was prevented by a delayed train from at- tending. Among the communications upon the table for consideration was an opinion from Attorney-General W. F. Fitzgerald on street railways that have been carrying freight and operating be- yond the corporate limits of cities where they had obtained franchises. The question had been raised by the Commissioners as to whether the Hay- wards electric line from Oakland, the San Francisco and San Mateo electric road to Baden and some lines in Southern Cali- fornia, all of which carried freight and still carry it, as well as passengers, should not come under the control of the board. Protests were entered by these companies against making a statement to the com- mission, as other railways have to do once a year. And in that condition the ques- tion was submitted to the Attorney-Gen- eral for his opinipn. He held that it made no difference how trains or cars were propelled, so far as the railroad law is concerned. If a railroad company carries freight and passengers in cars propelled by steam, electricity or ani- mal power it was amenable to the com- mission’s supervision and control. He stated positively if proof coula be presented to him that any electric or other road having a franchise for a ‘‘street rail- road’’—that is, to carTy passengers only— was engaged in transporting freight he would proceed at once to annul the franchise. In such case the privilege would be forieited to the State. 1f, however, the franchise was found to contain a provis- ion for handling freight then the company | money outlaid on the Atlanta Exposition. should make its report to the Board of Rail- l CASH COMES ROLLING N Generous Financial Assistance for the Atlanta Expo-~ sition. SUPERVISORS DO QUICK WORK Santa Clara Representatives Ap- poirted to Perpetuate the Organlization. At the Chamber of Commerce yesterday morning members of various Boards of Supervisors throughout the State assem- blea, pursuant to a call from the Governor, to discuss the advisability of making a California exhibit at the Atlanta Exposi- tion soon to be held in Georgia. Nearly all the counties in the vicinity of San Francisco sent delegates, and others gave assurance in some form that they could be counted on as ready to contribute when the time came. Supervisor Taylor called the meeting to order. “I hope,’” said he, “action will be taken by you here to-day that will redound to the credit of the State, and materially aid in putting forth its products and possi- bilities in the best possible light.”” Supervisor Ivory of Contra Costa County was elected chairman and H. C. Hulit of Glenn County secretary, both withoutoppo- sition. A rolleall by counties showed tggt the agricultural portion of the State was well represented. J. A. Filcher of the State Board of Trade sajd: “Governor Buda, who_ is greatly interested in the Atlanta Exposition, suggested that we go to the counties of California and secure suflicient money to o on with the work, or better still to call the Supervisors together in San Francisco and get the consensus of opinion on its advantages.

The preliminary examination of Attor- ney James H. Long, charged with embez- zling $820 belonging to Carroll & Webber, the proprietors of a faro bank on Market street, which was held up by three masked men, was continued before Judge Camp- bell yesterday. One of the men suspected of the robbery was W. Paulsell, and when arrested thc $820 was found in his pockets. The money, less $20, which was retained as evidence by Property Clgrk Cullen, was banded to Attorney Long on an order by Judge Wallace on May 25,1894. He sub- aef&umtly gave $500 of the amount to Car- roll & Co., but retained the $300 to re- imburse him for his services as special prosecuting counsel -at Pau'sell’s prelim- inary examination. The wholefacts were published about a month ago, when the | ‘warrant for Long’s arrest was-issued. Frank Rhoads of SBacramento and James Carrol! testified for the prosecution, and Attorney T. J.

The reports of the damage ‘done by the so-called army worm in various localities have not disturbed the members of the State Board of Horticulture to any extent. In the first place the pest is not the regu- lar army worm that has donme so much damage to crops in the East, although' of the rame family. And, further, the reports of the damage are considerably exag- gerated. Every year this pest appears. Quarantine Officer Craw says they can be easily killed by placing alfalfa poisoned with paris green, one teaspoonful in a bucket of water, where the pest can get it. To prevent the pests from climbing the trees, a paper band should be put around each tree and smeared with printers’ ink softened with castor-oil. The reports also 'state that a worm simi- lar to the army worm is injuring the toma- toes. It is probably the larve of the sphinx | moth. Several vineyards in Fresno last year were seriously 1njured by the caterpillar of this moth during May and the first week of June. The moth is large and handsome, with narrow sinewy wings, indicatinfi great power of flight. When expande they measure nearly four inches from tip to tip. Mr. Craw says he considers it dangerous to use paris green or other poison when the catapillar 1s among the tomatoes. He says the most effective way to check the pest is to hand pick, or clip the worms in two with a pair of scissors. As this can be done in the daytime very thorough work can be accomplished. e Attempted Robbery. August Schmidt came from CalaverasCounty & few days ago, and engaged a room at 215 Tehama street. At an early hour yesterday morning he made the acquaintance of three men on Grant avenue, and aiter having a few drinks they watked him along Turk street. At the corner of Leavenworth they took him into. & doorway and knocked him on the head with & slung-shot. He jumped to his feet before they could get through his pockets and ran away from them. A wound on his forehead and a contused scalp were attended to at the Receiving Hospital. A Family Jar. GREAT AMERICAN IMPORTING TEA CO.’S Stores are selling MASON FRUIT JARS .

Irish welcomed the Supervisors, saying: “I hope you will do all you can to assist the Board of Trade in this matter, and I wantto call your attention to the fact that you will have the current revenue of the board and the assistance of vprivate, but public-spirited men who will give their support and their money to advance this State. Youare now in a way to do with a small sum a large amount of good.” A few other remarks from various quar- ters of the hall were given, and A. Green- ing finally moved thata sum of money not to exceed $10,000 be allowed to make an ex- hibit, but this was not carried, owing to the fact, as John Boggs of Colusa stated, that it would be necessary to equalize the sum of money each county was expected to apportion to the fund. Mark L. McDonald of Sonoma appeared on behalf of the Supervisors of his county and stated that they were heart and hand with the movement, but did not feel able to appropriate any money. “This in a great measure,” said Mr. McDonald, “is true, but I will guarantee that we will do our share of the ‘subscribing, if I have to. go down into my own -pocket, and I will get others to do so. Sonomas, you can bet, will come in.” Hugh Craig, ‘on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, subscribed $250 to start the ball rolling. Mr. Boggs moved that a committee of five be appointed, the secretary of the Board of Trade to be one, for the purpose of making an equalized assessment on each county to raise the necessary funds, and to report at the afternoon session. This mo- tion was carried. ' Becretary Hulit read the following dis- }la_nuéh from the Los Angeles Board of rade: Owing to the inability of the Board of Trade to attend the convention of the County Super- visors in 8an Francisco in the interestsof our exhibition at Atlanta, I am instructed to state that Los Angeles will appropriate as much us any one of the five southern counties to aid the enterprise. A. W. FRANCISCO, Chairnian Board of Trade. The committee then adiourned to meet at2p.y. Chairman Ivory announced that the following would serve on the appor- tionment committee: €. L. Taylor, William witness, who, he said, would testify to a conversation with Rhoads in which the | latter admitted that Long was entitled to a fee for prosecuting Paulsell. He would not argue for a dismissal, as his client wanted a thorough investigation and a iree exculpauion from the charge. Attorney Martin Stevens, for the prose- cution, strongly objected to a continuance, but the Judge ganted it. FAIR'S ESTATE. . Judge Slack Orders Mining Interests in Placer County to Be Sold for #72,500. The special administrators of the Fair estate were yesterday authorized by Judge Slack to sell the half interest in the Pioneer mine, Placer County, for $72,500. It was shown that the other half interest, held by A. E. Davis, bad been sold for the same amount on July 1. > Other orders issued yesterday were to pay Warren & Malley $2750, to cultivate the Knights Landing ranch at a cost of not more than $25,000, to pay $870 38 in ‘wages at the Knights Landing ranch and $234 45 at the Berryessa stock farm.

O’Brien Made City Physi- clan—Lovelace, Chalmers and Others Go In. | i The Board of Health met yesterday and began the work of decapitation, which is to extend through the Health Department. In addition to the changes predicted in yesterday morning's CALL there were two more—that of City Physician and Assist- ant Secretary—Dr. A. P. 0'Brien and H. H. Zovel, respectively, being the fortunate | ones. > Before the meeting there was a caucus in the Mayor’s office. Quite a crowd was in waiting for the doctors in the Health | Office, and anxious looks were exchanged when Mayor Sutro, Drs. Morse, William- | son, Hart and Fitzgibbon filed in and took their seats. The proceedings were carried on in a very businesslike manner. | The first thing which was done was to | declare the position of Health Officer Keeney vacant on August 1. Just then, on motion of Dr. Fitzgibbon, Dr. A. S. Love- Jace was appointed Keeney’s successor by a unanimous vote. On motion of Dr. Williamson the office of Quarantine Officer was declared vacant. Dr. Hart nominated Dr. William A. Chal- mers for Quarantine Officer. The next to go was Secretary Lawlor, who was compelled to cast the vote declar- ing his position vacant. Dr. Hart named as his successor Edmund Godchaux. As- sistant Secretary Kennedy was next guil- Jotined and H. H. Zovel was appointed in his place. The ax then fell on the head oi City Physician ‘Kahn, and Dr. A. P. O’'Brien was named as his successor. A vacancy was created in the office of police surgeon, and after August 1 Dr. Conrad Weil will reside over the destinies of the Receiving gms ital. He will have for his assistants Dr. Frank Fitzgibbon, Dr. Edwin sunnell and Dr. G. Howard Thompson. After the latter gentlemen were named the board adjourned until nextTuesday morning. Dr. Lovelace, the new Health Officer, was formerly located in Sacramento, but has been practicing in this City for several | years. Dr. W, P. Chalmers is well known in this City, where he has resided for many years. Dr. Conrad Weil is the resident surgeon of the German Hospital, and Dr. Fitzgibbon, one of his assistants, is a brotger of the member of the board of the same name. Dr. A. P. O’Brien was born and educated in this City, and is a grad- | uate of Toland Medical College. He is looked upon as one of the promising young members of his profession. BRIBES BEING OFFERED. Offer the New Board ofl Applicants Health Moncy for Places—Com- petitive Exnminations. The members of the new Board of Health frankly confess that they have been ap- proached by office-seekers, and that offers of money have been made to them if they would pledee themselves to make certain appointments. “T11 just tell you what it is,” said Dr. Williamson yesterday, after he had made his escape through the crowd of office- seekers, “if we were accepting bribes for places we conld have a whole bhatful of money. People come to me every day and make me all sorts of offers, until I am as- tonished. Ihad frequently heard it said trifling when the protection to the mortgagee is condd‘erud. c.pf'n.'.nm will consult their own safety when they insist on insurance for lll‘l reul estate upon which they loan money. * | that 1t was next to impossible for a man to secure any office without putting up for it, and during my brief experience I am vir- | Ci tually convinced that there is more truth than poetry in it. Ican assure you that the members of this board are above bribery, and those who have offered money will find it so. g “We propose to appoint men irrespective of politics. *‘We are absolutely unpledged and shall Inpu()int health inspectors only on com- petitive examination, as we want onI{ such inspectors as can perform_their work from a mathematical point. We are in no haste in these matters, and shall fully deliberate before we act.” Dr. Fitzgibbon was highly indignant over the manner in which bribes have been offered, and said: “I had scarcely entered upon my duties as a member of the Board of Health when an old woman came to me for a piace. She explained why she wanted that particular place and had the nerve io offer me money if I would guar- antee her the position.” I informed her that the Board of Health was not selling places, and ske unblushingly informed mo that she had been told that places could only be had by paying for them. I have had many offers of money,and in each case I have placed a mark to distingunish these applicants when their applications come up for action.” o *~This is my first experience in politics,” said Dr. Hart, “and the revelation is some- thing wonderful. Scores of offers of money have been made, but you can bet none were accepted. We Fropose to_act fairly and honestly and fulfill our obligations as best we can. No person unworthy will re- ceive recognition, let him be whomsoever he may.” Dr. Morse also admits that there have been some remarkable revelations, but says: ‘‘As one member of the Board of Health I can assure you that when we have concluded our labors the public will have no cause to complain. We ro{xose to make San Francisco clean and healthy |and our officers will be a credit to the City.” Mayor Sutro is authority for the state- ment that the present Market Inspector will not be decapitated by the board. The members of the Board of Health are considering and preparing a list of ques- tions which will be useda by them.in con- ducting their competitive examination for health inspectors, which will not be held for some time, as there are other matters which the board desires to take up as soon as possible. ———————— CHINESE ON A STRIKE. ‘Why Sam Wah Wants to Hire Forty- One White Women. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yester- | day received an order for forty-one white women to work in Sam Wah’s overalls manufactory at 310 Jackson street. Wah stated that the Chinese were very careless, and were constantly breaking the sewing machines, and he believed that white women would do better work. Wah said that he would pay as good wages as any other manufacturer in tHe same Jine. That is 75 cents a dozen for engineer’s overalls, 65 cents for ordinary overails and jumpers. ‘Wabh said further that he would not retain any Chinese, and the foreman would be a white man. Later in the day the true reason for the Chinaman’s offer was learned. ‘Wah wanted his Chinese workmen to stand one-half of the expense for breakldge of the machines, and the whole force de- cided to go out on a strike before submit- ting to any such terms. Knowing that if the men did strike it would be very diffi- cult to fill their places with other Chinese, he decided to employ white women. One woman went to accept work, but was told to return to-day, by which time the result of the Chinese strike would be known. —————— The Afiiliated Colleges. The committee on ways and means of the University of California Affiliated Colleges held an informal meeting yesterday, and nu- merous offers of property upon which to ercet the professional college were considered, but asyet no definite Jocation has been decided upon. Dr. MeNutt is of the opinion that the citizens of San Francisco will have to be called upon to purchase property in a central loca- tion, as all offers rewlvei up to the present lix:aa have been in undesirable parts of the City. The WOMEN KNOW. Ask your wife or sister to help you select the BEST FOR THE MONEY. Without reference to the matter of Home Industry, she will decide for STANDARD SHIRTS. White, Outing, Percale.
