The Library Building Will Be Fin- Ished Within the Next Flve Years. The Regents of the University of Cali- fornia, as recommended by the Affiliated Colleges committee, accepted the Sutro site at a special meeting held in the Mark Hopk Institute of Art yesterday after- noon. Every regent present voted for the cite except George T. Marye, who asked to be excused becanse he did not consider himself sufficiently informed on the matter to vote intelligently. In the absence of Governor Budd Regent Timothy Guy Phelps presided, Professor Bonte acting as secretary. There;were pres- ent Regents Kellogg, Wallace, Bartlett, ve,Hallidie, Phelps, Hellman, Rodgers, Crocker, Miller, Martin, Foote, Houghton | and Waymire. On motion of A. S. Hallidie the Affiliated Colleges committee, represented by Dr. R. Beverley Cole, F. A. Beckett, ex-Judge Evans and Dr. L. Dunbar, were invited to | read any communication they might have in reference to the Sutro site. Dr. Cole, as spokesman for the commit- tee, in a few words told the result of the committee’s work, concluding with an earnest recommendation that the board | accept Mr. Sutro’s magnificent gift. At the conclusion of his remarks Secre- tary Bonte stated that a minority report by Drs. McNutt and Taylor had been placed on file, and that with the consent of the board he would read the same. Che report referred to is practically the same as that read before the Affiliated Colleges committee last Friday night. The main feature of the report was the argument asking the board to defer action until J. B. Reinstein, ex-president of the Alumni As- sociation, and A. F. Morrison, president of that association, could be heard from. These gentlemen, the report affirmed, were strongly in favor of the Potrero site. In reply to this Dr. Cole denied the ex- istence of a minority report, claiming that it was a ‘‘report from the dissenting medi- cal department.”” He then referred to the clinic, the question of car fares and the un- certainty of the v and County Hospital remaining in its present location. *‘Why, for over an hour,” he continued, ‘‘the author of this so-called report argued with me to accept four acres almost immedi- ately in front of the Sutro site. We are backed by the alumni of the Medical, cal and Law Colleges and by the expressed preference of over fifty pro- fessors directly interested. Against all comes the dissenting opinion of two Judge Evans followed with a brief irging the regents mot to refuse this ideal location, after which Mr. Sutro ad- dressed the meeting. “I simply wish to say that T am here to s,”” said the Mayor. gentleman present who does nderstand my offer I trust they will not hesitate to make it known.” 4 Mr. Hallidie wanted some information as to when Mr. ro would buiid the library, and Mr. Crocker asked what re- Board of Education of the town of Berke- ley, asking the board to sell or lease ground'on iaxkspur street as a site for the High School. Referred to the committee on grounds. Mayor Austin of S8an Jose and a com- mittee composed of C. M. Wooster, E. E. Goodridge, Judge Spencer, O. H. Hale and Clifford Owen, on behalf of the Board of Trade of San Jose, offered a site for the Wilmerding School of Mechanical Arts. Mayor Austin said they would give eight 50-vara lots, or twice that amount of land, if necessary, in order to secure the school. The matter was referred to the committee on sites. EMMA SARGENT'S DEATH. An Erratlc Career Ended in a Ward in the City and County Hospital. Emma Sargent, who claimea to belong to the wealthy family of that name living near Gilroy, died at the City and County Hospital last Saturday evening. Her body was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery at the expense of friends. Sunday morning, on an order from a Miss Drew, who used to visit the girl while she was in the hospital, the body was de- livered to H. C. Porter, and was by him buried in a small plat bought for the pur- ose. Pothe girl had been away from home about two years, and her relatives had completely lost track of her whereabouts. She is said to have led a_wayward life while in San Francisco until seven weeks ago, when she was taken with quick con- sumption. She went to the hospital then, and Saturday she died. She was only 20 years old. [T WAS MEDICAL ETHICS, Physicians Who Object to Their Rate of Fees Being Cut Down. A Factional Fight Narrowly Averted In the San Francisco Medi~ cal Soclety. A few astute members of the San Fran- cisco City and County Medical Society nar- rowly averted a conflict in the ranks of the organization at the monthly meeting last evening. At the August.meeting of the society Dr. Kuhlman, the president of the organiza- tion, presented the measure that was re- sponsible for the trouble. It was a set of resolutions of about the following import: That in the City and County of San Francisco and in the ranks of the society are a number of men connected with the so-called dispensa- ries and medical institutes that abound, and that these institutions charge from $1 8 month to ®1 per annum for treatment for all charac- ters of diseases. That their charges are totally inadequate for the support of legitimate business, that there are a large number of physicians in San Fran- cisco who have families dependent on them for support, and that the competition of these institutes does not permit them to make what their education entitles them to. That it is against the ethics of the American medical fraternity that such institutions should flourish, or reputable physicians en- gage in them. The resolutiofis closed by stating that it was the sentiment of the society that its members be not connected with such institutions, and | that other medical societies in San Francisco be requested to pass similar resolutions. The matters was laid over until last night, when Dr. Kuhlman made an effort | to have the measure adopted, but in vain. The majority was with him, but the minority was resourceful and determined L[OLLEGE TRACT PARY HET e CIBRARY cTRACT MAP SHOWING AFFILIATED COLLEGES SITE, LIBRARY TRACT, LIBRARY ENDOWMENT AND THE ABANDONED STREET RAIL- ROAD. A FULL COFFIN AFLOAT, Found, Tenanted by a Corpse, in a Pool Near the Marine Hospital. WHERE DID IT COME FROM? Physiclans Think That Some One Robbed a Grave and Trled to Hide the Sacrilege. Sunday afternoon about 6 o’clock Ea- gineer Kiplick while in the power-house of the Marine Hospital saw a coffin float- ing in the pool called Mountain Lake, which lies in front of the hospital build- ings. The coffin was towed ashore and found to contain the skeleton of a man dead sev- eral years. Some flesh was still on the bones, and both bones and flesh were cov- ered with a thick incrustation of a lime- like substance. The entire top part of the skull had been sawed off in a single piece, which lay beside the head. The coffin was made of rough boards and was bored along the bottom with sev- eral large auger-holes. It had been in the out at & nice profit. But she never got the money. Instead she got Fox's personal note at 6 per cent interest, upon which twenty-two months’ interest is now due. Fox, when questioned, gave a plausible explanation from his point of view. He admitted receiving the money, but said he did so as her trustee, with the fprivllegu of buying and selling’ at will for her. In 1887 he was lucky, and was worth $35,000. Then he proposed to Mrs. Holland to al- low her 6 per cent interest on her money if she left it with him, whether he used it or not. She accepted his note. s As to the $1000 transaction, over which the present charge of felony embezzle- ment 1s made, he says he invested it as in- structed, but in his own name, sending her monthly dividends and finally disposing of the stock. Then, in 1893, a friend of his thought he had a good thing and Fox and he went into the market strong; in fact, to the extent of $11,000 worth. His friend happened to get short on the market and when they figured up the results of their venture Fox was a broke man, with $1300 to pay on that speculation and noth- ing‘to show for Mrs. Holland’s money. ince 1893, he says, he has worked pretty hard to redeem his credit, and in the two years has paid off $10,000 of his debts, re- ceipts for which he claims to be able to show. Tha Hollands called on him last April and May and begged for their money. He explained his circumstances and agreed to gny them $15 a month, and whenever he ecame able to do so to replace their Spring Valley stock investment. WOULD NOT SHIP THE PEARS. Suit of F. L.

[Sketched by a “Call” artist.] water probably for a long period, as the wood was soaked through. No inquest has yet been held, as Dr. Godfrey, the superintending physician, desires to push his investigations further regarding the cause of the coffin being found in the lake. 2 The physicians in charge at the hospital have a theory that it was a body taken from a grave in the hospital cemetery for the purpose of anatomical study. The supposed medical student evidently de- sired to study only the skeleton, and chose a grave some years closed. On opening the coffin he found more flesh remaining on the bones than he expected, and so covered the body with a preparation of lime, bored holes 1n the coffin to admit water, and sank it in the lake that the ac- tion of the water on the lime might hasten disintegration. However, no evidence of a weight having been attached was found on the coffin. An investigation was made in the hospi- tal cemetery, and many of the graves were probed. One grave was found violated, that of a sailor named John Wolfe, who died in the year 1892, of paralysis, ahd was buried there. The coffin is built like other hospital coftins and is of the same material. With its contents it now lies in the rushes near the margin of the lake. The piece removed from the skull was made by two cuts at right angles to each other, one vertical down through the parietal bones, the other horizontal cleav- ing through the occipital at the base of the brain. The work was neatly done butin a different manner from that physicians usually employ to lay bare the brainsina post-mortem examination. In such cases the forward cut is begun nearer the eye- brows. The physicians think the piece was taken out merely .to allow the en- trance of the water. The remains were not otherwise mutilated. A portion of a vest of coarse texture lay across the chest of the corpse. The water in the lake sinks several feet during the dry season. This may have been instrumental in bringing the coffin to the surface. strictions were thrown around the pro- posed deed of gift to the regents. In an- swzr to both these questions Mr. Sutro said: It may be two or it may be five years before the library building is completed, but I will obligate myself to open its doors to_ the public before the iast named period expires. Now as to restriction. 1 only require that no dwell ings other than the oe required for the janitor shall be erected on the Afliliated Colleges site, or the library tract. Within ninety days after the acceptance of my offer 1 will turn over to the regentsa deed covering both properties, subject only to these conditions. Mr. Rodgers then moved that Mr. Sutro’s offer be accepted, and that a com- mittee from the law, building and finance committees be appointed toconfer with Mr. Butro and embody in the agreement the conditions above named. Every regent present voted in favor of the motion ex- cept, as before stated, Mr. Marye. “I am not sufficiently familiar with either the Sutro site or the Potrero tract to vote intelligently,” he said, “and conse- quently would ask the board to excuse me from giving an expression of opinion.” With the Affiliated Colleges matter set- tled to the satisfaction of the parties most interested, the regents proceeded to trans- act ordinary routine business. Dr. John Fryer was appointed to the professorship of languages and literature at a salary of $3000 per year. On recom- mendation of the faculty W. H. Graves was apguimed reader in the Latin depart- ment, 8. R. Morse as student assistant in the department of mechanical engineering, R.J. La Pere teacher of French, with F. G. Cottrell and George D. Louderback as student assistants, Professor Kellogg also recommended that the degree of bachelor of arts be conferred on W. F. Larsen, and of chemistry on Samuel Baker of Watsonville. William Setchell was appointed botanist at an annual salary of $3000. A communication was Tead from the and the doctor finally went down in defeat. The chairman gave way to Dr. Davis to speak to the measure, but the rulings were against his cause. The friends of the measure tried to have it adopted, and when it was proposed to have it referred to the committee on ethics attempted to have the by-laws suspended to rush it through, but they lacked the necessary majority and it went to the committee to be reported on at the next meeting. OFF FOR JAPAN, THe American Congregationalists Will Go to the Orient to Investi- gate. When the American board of commis- sioners for foreign missions return from the land where the birds never sing and the flowers have no perfume, the American people will then know whether or not the much-abused missionary lives in the best houses in Japan and draws a high salary for doing nothing. The board, now at the Occidental Hotel, consists of James Gibson Johnson, a min- ister of the New England Congregational Church at Chicago; f)r. A. H. Bradford of Montclair, N. J., associated as one of the editors of the Qutlook with Lyman Abbott and Hamilton W. Mabie; W. P. Ellison of Boston and Dr. James L. Barton, also of Boston. They will also investicate the claim that Japanese ministers are now able to take up and conclude the work be- gun by the Christians. It is stated on good authority, however, ever, that the Government of Japan has discovered that the Congregationalists own too much property in the country and that | & it is all in the names of Japs who are faithful to the church. They object to alien landholders, hence the trouble. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov't Report Rl Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE ARREST OF BROKER FO. Is Charged With Using Up an Old Nevada Couple’s Savings. Thelr Money, He Explains, Went Into a Very Unfortunate Stock Venture. A little old Nevada couple, Robert Hol- land and his wife Bridget, came to this City a day or so ago from their farm near Columbia Hill to see what they could have done toward Henry L. Fox, a stockbroker doing business at 318 Pine street, whom they accuse of swindling them out of $3000 altogether. They consulted Attorney John T. Dare, with the result that Fox was arrested yes- terday by Police Officer Tannian on a war- rant issued by Police Judge Joachimsen, and he was locked up at the California- street station, his bail being fixea at $3000. Robert Holland is a hard-working man, the major portion of whose seventy-seven years have been devoted to plodding toil for a family of six children, his wife care- fully saving up the dollars until they might profitably jinvest in something. Now their six children are all married and the_father and mother are left alone in their declining years with their money all one. The rticular charge they brought against Fox is felony embezzlement, ]frs. olland being the complaining witness. According, to%er story she let Fox have $1000 on December 7, 1888, with which to buy ten shares of Spring Valley Water stock, allowing him to speculate to advan- tage if he could and to sell when the stock went up to a good figure. About every month for a while she would receive a let- ter from Fox with an inclosure of $5 as “‘dividends,” but after a time these remit- tances dropped off, and then she began to investigate through her Nevada counsel. She was finally informed that her name was not on the stock books of the Spring Valley Water Company at all. Previous to entrusting Fox with this $1000, she said, she let him have $2000 to speculate with in Spring Valley. He did buy some shares with that, so she believes, and when the stock reached $104 he sold ages for failure to keep a shipping con- tract was transferred “yesterday to the United States Circuit Court from the Sacra- mento Justice’s court, in which it was first begun. Atkinson’s complaint is that the associ- ation on May 29, 1894, contracted to ship Bartlett pears for him East n%to July 15 of that year at 75 cents per box, but though he bad packed 250 boxes by July 11, the nls]sncintion refused to take and handle them. THE BELEI IS UNNURED All Needed Assistance to Move the Big Steamer Is at Hand. It Is Belleved That Beckman Fell Overboard While in Dis- charge of His Duty. Late last evening D. D. Stubbs of the Oriental and Occidental steamship line received a dispatch from the company’s agent at Yokohama stating that the stranded Belgic would be floated. The hull was uninjured, and all the assistance necessary to get the steamer off the sand- sprit upon which she lies was at hand. To those acquainted with the locality there isno doubt that the big vessel can- not be extricated from her predicament. Kings or Su Nosaka Point, which means ‘“‘point of sand,” juts into the Uroga Channel just inside of the Bay of Yeddo or Harbor of Yokohama. There is com- paratively no swell in that locality, and there is a probability that Captain Walker was going ahead in the fog under a slow- bell and the steamer slipped easily up on the beach. It is believed the second officer, George Beckman, lost his life by falling overboard either from the high deck of the Belgic or from a boat alongside of the vessel while in the discharge of his duty. i All the treasure, $129,585 in Mexican coin and $69,005 in gold and silver and the mails were safely landed at Yokohama. The Oriental and Occidental steamship Coptic will sail for China and Japan ports at 3o’clock to-morrow afternoon. She will call at Honolulu, leaving that place about the 19th inst., arriving at Yokohama about October 1, and at Hongkong on the 9th. The Belgic's sailing dates are: Leaves Hongkong Beptember 28, Yokohama Octo- ber 8 and arrive at San Francisco October 22, not calling at Honolulu. All the officials of the company deplore the death of Officer Beckman, who was an intelligent, brave and skillful seaman. They think his loyalty to what he consid- ered his duty caused him to expose him- self to the danger that lost him his life. A STEAMER WATERLOGGED. She Lies at Anchor Off Chetco, Oregon, Rudderless and Disabled—Not Kuown Here. A dispatch from Crescent City was re- ceived at the Merchants’ Exchange last night stating that the steamer Maid of Or- egon was at anchor three miles off Chetco, Or. Her deckload and bulwarks and a jury rudder, which the crew had rigged up, were gone. She is waterlogged and almost helpless. The people aboard of her would try to get her fto. &zeu:o or Rogue River. The dispatch was signed James Ross, master. Nothing is known of the vessel in this port, and it is probable that she is a_small steamer plying between Astoria and Cres- cent City or Cietco, a port in Oregon near the California line. ——————————— Boatswain Mooney’s Arrest. Boatswain Thomas Mooney of the steamer Olympic was arrested by & Deputy United States Marshal yesterday on complaint of a sea- man named Theodore Sweers, who charged him with brutal treatmenton the high seas. Commissioner Heacock fixed Mooney's bail at $500 and set the hearing for to-morrow. Moonez “is Sweers pulled a knife on him and that what he did was in self-defense. ——————— A Word With the Wise.

GREAT AMERICAN IMPORTING TEA CO.S BRANCH STORES EVREY WHERE. Headouarters 52-58 Market street, San Franclaco, THE FERRY DEPOT PLANS, Architect Percy Suggests Changes to the Harbor Commissioners. RULES OUT NEEDLESS DETAIL. Recommendations to Enable Cali- fornia Ironworkers to Fur- nish Material. Architect George W. Percy has been as busy as a whole hive of bees ever since he was employed as an expert by the Harbor Commissioners, ten days ago, and to-day he will submit a report that is good read- ing. It will be good reading not only to Architect A. Page Brown, whose ferry depot plans are on the gridiron that Mr. Percy dextrously turps. It ought to be good reading to all the Harbor Commis- sioners, who, as servantsof the public, will be told how many dollars can be saved by not following the Brown plans as closely as at first proposed. It will certainly be good reading and good news to all tax- paying citizens, for the report points out a way by which the big depot can be built in a reasonable length of time, and within the amount of bonds upon which all these same tax-paying citizens are now paying interest. There is no nonsense about Architect Percy. He believes in going to the bottom of things, and in hitting nails on their heads. He does this in the report, over- hauling and keelhauling those long-slum- bering ferry depot plans, just as his ship- maker father, d%wn in Maine, used. to do when he watched over a crait’s construc- tion. It’s a long report and full of technical terms and abstruse figuring, about as in- teresting to the average citizen as Box Royce’s latest definition. The gist of it is that if alterations in the plans are made as recommended the ferry-depot structure can be built within the $600,000 for which the State has issued bonds. If the plans are altered as recommended all the ironwork— and there is a tremendous amount of it— can be done here and not in the East, as the original plans contemplated. These are all telling points. That concrete and cement island at the foot of Market street designed as the foundation of the ferry depot has already cost over $400,000. course, that has come from the Harbor Commission fund and not from direct taxation, but it all comeg from the general pocket of the public, just as much. If the depot superstructure can actually be added for _enough more to make up the round $1,000,000 as the total cost it will certainly be much better than to have another con- tract on hand—twin to San Francisco's City Hall. The principal changes suggested in the report relate to weight and material. Ap- parently the original plans were drafted with an idea in mind that elephants or mastodons or the owner of those famous Nevada footprints misht any day step ashore from the upper deck of a ferry-boat and shock the depot floor with their pre- historic_weight. All the iron girders and piers called for were lLeavy enough to up- hold the Colossus of Rhodes or the bronze angel that now guards New York harbor. A floor pressure in the wai:ing-roum of the second floor of the depot of 280 pounds to the square foot was calculated upon. The present report says that any such estimate is entirely unnecessary; that an estimate of half that amount is more than enough to meet all possible exigencies. The possibility of using lighter material as now recommended not only simplifies the whole construction, but keeps the cost down, and gives California ironworkers some sort of a chance. Other changes are recommended, but those revising the weight and strength of material form the principal features of the report. Architect Percy’s report will cost the Harbor Commissioners $1000, but the Com- missioners are not worrying about that. The awkward thing. about the matter is that Architect Brown'’s plans have already cost about $12,000 and as much more will be due Mr. Brown in case he supervises the construction of the depot. Mr. Percy’s services do not end with reporting on the original plans. He will give the Commis- sioners any further advice desired, but he will not superintend the building of the depot. A special expert—no one yet knows who—will be ewnployed for that purpose. TEMPTING SCHOOLGIRLS. Edward M. Barnes, an Attorney From Ukiah, in an Awkward Predica- ment. 1 A charge of disturbing the peace against E. M. Barnes, alias 0. H. Johnson, is on the calendar of Judge Conlan’s court, but the Judge and Prosecuting Attorney Mor- gan are of the opinion that a more serious charge should be entered against him. Complaints were made to Policeman McGrew on Wednesday last by the teach- ers of the Starr King Primary School that a middle-aged man had been loitering round the school and !ryinE to_make ap- pointments with some of the girl pupils. He had given them candy and money and had invited them to accompany him to a vacant house on Townsend ‘street. The officer stationed himself near the school, and it was not Jong before he saw the man in conversation with some of the girls. One of the teachers told McGrew it was the same man, and he started across the street. As soon as the man saw him he ran, but was overtaken at Fifth and Brannan streets. The man proved to be Barnes, who told the police he was a commercial trayeler for a Brannan-street wool house. He was booked for disturbing the peace, and in court offered to plead guilty and pay a fine. He was released on bail and the hearing of the case was fixed for to- morrow. Barnes was formerly an attorney in Ukiah, and his fondness for female society got him into trouble, as he was. once pep- ered with birdshot by an angry mother. e married there, and subsequently went to Alturas, where he served for one or two terms as District Attorney. TO LECTURE AT ATLANTA. Several Speakers From the State Board of Trade. Several members of the California State Board of Trade will go to the Atlanta Ex- position as soon as it opensand deliver lec- tures upon California and the productions of the State. Ata meeting of the board yesterday Mark L. McDonald introduced the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That the chairman request such members of the Board of Trade as he deems advisable to attend the Atlanta Exposition and lecture upon the resources of the State of Cali- fornia and to be present as much of the time at the California exhibit as possible to answer in- quiriesregarding the State. Mr. McDonald stated that it is desirable to secure speakers from every district in the State so that all parts may be equally represented. He volunteered to spend a month at Atlanta asa representative of the Sonoma County district. % Dr. D. G. McLean of Salinas City said he would represent Monterey and vicinit for several weeks at the exposition. E. W. Maslin, who isin the Naval Officein this city, stated that he would do his share of lecturing if he can secure a leave of absence from his duties. e The seventh carload of California ex- hibits was shipped to Atlanta yesterday. it coutains wine, honey, fruit and the Ven- tura County exhibit, NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

The Extensive Preserve Will Be Stocked With Foreign Game and Fish. The annual election and business meet- ing of the Tamalpais Sportsmen’s Club took place yesterday and a most enthusi- astic gathering of sportsmen it proved to be. The officers who will attend to the af- fairs of the club for the ensuing year are: J. W. Sperry, O. C. Miller, Otto Muser, William Berg, John Tallant, John Bergez, H. A. Cobb Jr., E. G. Rodolph and W. C. Brown. The club has renewed its lease for the next five years of the magnificent preserve which includes several thousand acres of timber and open lands and is well stocked with game of divers kind. The Tamalpais Club ranks second to the famous Country Club, which controls the shooting and fishing rights of a great stretch of country 1n thevicinity of Olema, Marin County. 1In speaking of the future intentions of the Tamalpais Club, cne of the directors said yesterday that the stocking of the preserves with foreign zame birds was one of the first things suggested and that an effort will be made to procure grouse, woodcock, partridge and pheasants, all of which variety of game fowls, it is ex- ected, will thrive and increase in num- rs if the proper precalitions are taken to protect them from the attacks of poachers and other dangers. The keepers have ex- terminated large numbers cf wildcats, foxes, coons and other vermin which proved very destructive to the game of the preserve prior to the time the club secured the shooting and fishing privileges from the Throckmorton estate. The lagoon, which now contains a splen- did supply of trout, will be restocked with several kinds of game and food fishes. The cuttbroat, brown and New Hampshire trout will pe given an opportunity of basking in the deep and shaded pools of cBhe stream which empties into Bolinas ay. Owing to the many opinions received from experts who have made the habits of trout a study, the future doings of the brown trout will be watched with partice- lar interest by the members of the club whose principal amusement is that of angling. Authorities on matters piscatorial con- tend that the brown or Von Behr trout will not depart from fresh water streams to the ocean at a season of the vear when the anadromous fishes—steelheads and rainbows, so called—are to be found only in salt water—that is, excepting where they become landlocked. John Bergez stated that striped bass of from one to two pounds in weight have been seen recently in the mouth of the lagoon, and he isof the opinion that in the near future the bass will afford magni- ficent sport to the anglers, as they are annually increasing in numbers. ¢ The club proposes to hold a grand bulls- head. breakfast in honor of the newly elected officers at its clubhouse in a few weeks, and it goes without saying that the affair will be the inauguration of a season of grand sport and pleasure to the members and invited guests. ————— Burned Out the Basement.
