8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1896. FOLSOM GRANITE FOR THE COLLEGES Assured of Contracts by the Board of Re- gents. AGGREGATE OF BIDS. Tents May Be Pitched to Ac commodate Students at Berkeley. MR. REINSTEIN'S SUGGESTION. More Power and Dignity Will Be Given to the Physical Culture Department. The Board of Regents, University of California, met yesterday aiternoon and awarded contracts for construction of the Afiiliated Colleges on the land ‘deeded to the board by Mayor Sutro. The contracts were awarded as follows: For masonry, including all brick work, terra. cotta work, concrete and all necessary excava- tion based on using granite, Ray Building ana Construction Company, $143,500. Iron work, Pacific Rolling-mills, $4925. Carpenter, plastering and electric and glazs- ing work, 8. Carle 219, Plumbing and gas-fitting work, D. C. Swee- ney, $11,193. Heating work, E. J. Lawton, $8325. Tinning, galvanized iron and slating work, Joseph F. Forderer, $9975. Painting and graining work, $3780. The report of the committee recommend- ing the foregoing bidders as the Jowest is signed by Regents J. West Martin and John E. Budd. The aggregate amount of the bids is $248,928. It was found that the board did not have sufficient money to make the award, but a communication was received irom Martens, Coffey & Kroft, the archi- tects, waiving their commission and a tender of $1151 was made by Dr. Beverley R. Cole, The architects’ waiver and Dr. Cole's contribution were received in writ- ing, and the-board passed resolution of acceptance. The contributed sums brought the transaction within the limit of woney on hand. It appeared that the bid of J. H. Riley of San J’ose for sandstone was $142,000, but the regents preferred sranite, hence the award to the Ray Building and Construc- tion Company at the figure of $143,500. The proceedings disclosed the fact that granite quarried by prison labor at Fol- som will be used in the college buildings. The regents adopted a resolution assur- ing the Prison Directors that the granite used would inure only to the benefit of the Affiliated Cotleges. This resolution is responsive to proceedings taken by the Board of Prison Directors in September, 1895. Dr. Beverly R. Cole received a vote of thanks for his generous contribution of cash. He responded in a graceful liftle speech, expressing his pleasure that the long contest for the building of the col- leges had culminated in victory. He men- tioned incidentally that he had worked in behalf of the enterprise for seven years, and in closing promised to dedicate the remaining years of his life to the univer- sity. Judge Waymire, who was a member of the last Legislature, paid a tribute to the zeal and eloquence of Dr. Cole in behalf ff the appropriation of money for the col- eges. egent Reinstein. introduced the sub- ject of providing tents for students at the university. He said the classrooms were inadequate, and something should be done at once to provide room. A suggestion was made that military tents might be ob- tained from the Government. Mr. Rein- stein replied that ln%e tents, each capable of accommodating fifty stuaents, were needed. The subject was referred to the commirtees of finance and buildings and grounds. The spreading of tents to shelter the students would no doubt produce such a spectacular effect as would arrest the at- tention of the Legislature. The eyes of the regents are now turned to Sacramento, and a great effort will be made for a big appropriation. here was considerable talk yesterday about elevating the department of physi- cal cuiture to the importance which modern methods of instruction ascribe to that form of education. The assistant professor will hereafter be known as director and he will have a vote in the faculty. Mr. Hallidie said that the de- partment would be reorganized when more money was available. On account of the lack of funds the finance committee reported against the employment of a fellow to assist Director Holden at Mount Hamilton. The regents decided that the Michael Reese fund of $50,000 could not be nsed for any purpose other than the purchase of books. The regents attending the session were Phelps (presiding), Marye, John E. Budd, Crocker, Rowell, Kellogg, Martin, Denicke, Hallidie, Fonte, Reinstein, Mil- ler, Waymire und Slack. Not a word was said of the Bonnell- Flagg controversy. AGAINST THE CHARTER. The American Women’s Liberal League Adopts Kesolutions Scoring Ad- vocates of a Certain Section. Ata regular meeting of the Commirttee of the American Women’s Liberal League, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, At & mass-meeting of the Citizens’ Charter Association held in Metropolitnn Temple on Friday evening, September 4, one Thomes F. Barry, while trying to demonstrate who are the opponents of the new charter, did malictously and grossly insult Catholic eirls of this City by coupling them with his idea of thugs, and & ‘Police Department, that to his perverted idea, fears investigation; and whereas, this league has at all times o vosed the new charter on account of its il eral, unjust and intolerant spirit, its un-Ameri- can tendencies, the evidences of its hasty con- struction, its disposition to make an autocrat of one officer lor whose election it does not provide and the fact that it is a rehash of charters that have already been rejected with a few more objectionable points added, yet in our opposition we have failed to discover that the Fire and Police departments have ever expressed themselves in this relation. They have, how- ever, impressed us as the men wha stand in the front ranks of those who contribute to the deiense of our lives and homes, some of them even perishing at their posts of duty for the lives and homes of such ingrates as Thomas F. Barry, and we believe they shall so continue to respond after Mr. Barry and his confreres shall have been relegated to the fabled waters of the Strx; thereforc, be 1t Resolved, That we believe Thomas F. remarks are not only erratic, and lack all semblance to truth ana common-sense, but also prove that Mr. Barry lacks the attributes of & gentleman. Resolved, That we deny that the Fire and Police departments control or in any way affect the interests of Catholic girls, or those of any other denominations, in scghool matters, or any rights guaranteed them as Americans. Resolved, That we congratulate James D. Phelan on the rally of such gallant allies as Thomas F. Barry and others to the standard which fosters and encourages the bigotry and prejudice for which their ancestors sought a g;zmhe in other climes than the land of their rth. [Resolved, That we depounce as weak and all absurd the answer of William F. Gibson, that the section objected to, in relation to the ap- pointment of teachers, emanated from the fact that heretofore “importations” from the East had been employed as soon as they reached town, and that “hewspapers’ alleged that in- competent teachers secured positions to the exclusion of natives of California, who had qualified here, No such employment could have been made, in view of the rigid measures at all times required to test a teacher’s quali- fications, unless some School Directors be- trayed their trusts, or were willfully aerelict to duty, and the new charter makes no pro- vision against a repetition of such dereliction. Resolved, That we ask of William F. Gibson, if his reasons as given for framing this section are in good faith, why are the schools quali- fied by the words public? Why not say the schools of California, when the charter re- uires all to pass a_competitive examination? We ask this particularly, since Mr. Gibson has stated to a member of this league, that he be- lieved this section was a thrust at private and parochial schools. Resolved, That we believe, according to Mr. Gibson's answers, the new charter says one thing and means auother. The charter pro- vides that certain teachers must be educated in the public schools, but Mr. Gibson says any person who has taken a course in any of the public schools is considered to have been ed- ucated therein. According to this reasoning, a person taking an alphabetical course in the gublic schools and afterward graduating from tanford University would be considered ed- ucated in the public schools. Resolved, That Mr. Gibson’s answer in regard to the tenure of office of & teacher and his quotation of a Supreme Court decision do not agree with the new charter, which says that the Board of Education shall have power to grant and revoke certificates, and that the board shall determine the cause for which a teacher shall be dismissed, and we note that 10 limitations are placed on this power. Resolved, That we believe that when an applicant for a teacher’s position is proven qualified by the examination necessary fo secure & certificate, such credential is a suffi- cient guarantee of competency, and require- ment to take an additional course ina normal school, when such proof can be thus furnisbed, is calculated to impede the freedom of educa- tion, which is a bulwark of our liberties. Resolved, That we believe the method of Chairman Davis in declaring the resolutions unanimously adopted, without calling for the negative vote, is in perfect keeping with the views of the speakers, all onesided. AGHINST THE NOE HEIRS, Judge Sanderson Decides the Long Contested Case. Suit Tnvolving the Validity of Titles to Land Worth Many Millions. The long-contested suit of the Noe heirs, involving the validity of titlestoa large amount of land in the Mission, val- ued up in the millions, was decided yes- terday by Judge Sanderson against the Noe heirs. The suit was brought with the purpose of quieting title to an nundivided half of the Miguel rancho, containing something above 4000 acres, granted to Jose de Jesus Noe by Governor Pio Pico in 1846. The suit was brought by the heirs of Noe's wife, upon the ground that the wife had a community interest. The question involved was based on thiz point—whether the grant to the busband vested in his wife a community interest. The court decided against the plaintiff heirs and in favor of the defendants, who number over 1000. Judge Sanderson in the opinion filed says: The land in question here was given out- right by the Mexican Government to Noe in 1846. He paid nothing whatever for it, and some eight years later he sold it to Horner for $70,000, it appears, and now, half a century later, the property, largely covered by im- provements, is said by counsel to be worth up- ward of $50,000,000. Upon it are founded the homes and probably the entire fortunes of thousands of the inhabitants of this City, who have already lived there in periect legal se- curity as to their tiiles, which have been un- questioned for nearly, if not quite, thirty years last past. At this late day an assault of this character upon these titles, based on aquestion and con- tention of law long since definitely fixed and settled by our courts, must strike the ordinary mind as wholly without justification and prompt the wisL and show the necessity for some remedy at the hanasof our legislators whereby long-established owners of property, such as the numerous defendants in this ac- tion may, if possible, be protected in some manuer from the bringing of suits like the present one against them to determine & ques- tion long since laid at rest, without being com- pelled to undergo the expense and annoyance of defending an unfounded action in order to keep their titles unclouded. There is no way under the present law, 8o far as I am advised, by which the good faith of the plaintiffs in such suits can be tested or guaranteed prior to trial, but this I believe can be effected by a proper law in that benalf. The necessity for such & remedy could easily be more forcibly illustrated, in my opinion, than by the present suit. It may be added thatthe point heretofore stated is not the sole ground on which an action like this and based upon similar facts would be defeated in this State. Our Supreme Court has held that where property, s a matter ot law, becomes com- munity property, as is claimed by plaintiffs here, nevertheless the right remained with the husband to dispose o! the same, in the absence of fraud, and likewise to sell and dis- pose of the entire community property in order to pay community debts; and whete the property was sold, as here, for & valuable con- sideration 1t would be presumed that the hus- band disposed’ of the property for that pur- pose and a valid title to the whole property would pass thereby. ’l;hare were over 1000 defendants 1n this suit. HER PATHE)IC STORY, Emma Peterson, a Young Girl, Sent to the Receiving Hospital. Emma Peterson, a pretty girl 20 years of age, was found on Washington-street wharf yesterday afterncon by Sergeant Tom Mahoney, and as he thought she in- tended to commit suicide, he sent her to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon. She had been sitting on a pile of lumber for about two hours, and her appearance was s0 dejected that Mahoney determined to watch her. When he saw her leave her seat on the lumber pile and sit on the siringers he concluded it was time to act. The girl told her story in the hospital. She said: “I had no intention of com- mitting suicide and was paring my nails when the policeman arrested me. I am troubled with headaches and often go to the wharves, as the breeze from the sea does me good. “Icame from Norway two years ago and kept house for my brother, Julius Peterson, a carpenter "at 1911 O'Farrell street. He was so unkind to me that I tried to.get a situation. I got one with a family named Meyers at 1911 Bush street. There were ten in'the family, and as I had todoall the work and only got $10 a month, I left there two or three weeks ago. I went back 1o my brother’s, but he was so unkind that for the past two weeks I have been wandering about the streets trying to get something to do. I was arresied two or three days ago but was discharged after I told my story.” The girl told Mrs, Keane, the matron, thatshe had a sweetheart, Ole Olsen, & sailor on the Umatilla, which is now lying at the Broadway wharf, and as soon as they gotenouzh money, they would be married. Efforts will be made to find a home for her. ——————— Escaped From an Asylum. P. O'Connor was arrested on Market street Monday night for being drunk. Yesterday morning he told Captain Robinson at the City Prison that he had made his esca; the Stockton Insane Asylum beclug: ?l:’:y‘ made him peel potatoes and would not give him_eny tobacco. He was sent to the Recely- 1ng“%oapltll and the asylum authorities were notified. ——————— Broke Her Arm, Mrs. Catherine Griffin had & broken srm diessed at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning. ————— BORROW on sealskins, silks and jewels at Uncle Harris', 15 Grant avenue. WINTHROP HAD CAMPBELL'S PURSE The Planter Identifies Prop- erty Stolen From Him, STRONG BIT OF EVIDENCE The Prisoner Wanted to Recover His Telegrams Sent to Urquhart. BUT THE W. U. DECLINED. They Also Are Offered and Tell Against the Defendant—The Proceedings. Oliver Winthrop was a close and anx- ious listener to the testimony against him adduced before Judge Wallace yesterday on the charge of attempting to extort $20,000 from James Campbell, the Ha- waiian planter” His wife sat beside him all day, lying back in her chair for the most part, with a very weary expression. An important link in the chain of evi- dence was developed. Detective Charles Cody, in telling of the arrest of Winthrop in Oakland, said that upon searching the prisoner a purse containing $7 was found, besides some small coin in a vest pocket, together with a rairoad ticket to Mojave. James Campbell, the complaining wit- ness, became interested at the mention of the purse, and, it being put in evidence, asked to be allowed to examine it. TUpon its being handed to him Le said at once: “This is mine; it was taken from me while, I was held a prisoner in the cot~ tage.’ This, of course, is considered very im- portant, as it directly connects the pris- oner with the crime. “Did Winthrop say anything when he was searched ?”’ was asked the witness. ‘“‘He said, ‘Well, the jig is up.’’’ “Was the prisoner searched again?” “Yes. When he was brought to this City Detective Seymour searched him again and found in the tops of hisshoes three $20 gold pieces.” Detective Seymour being called corrobo- rated this and said, lurther, that Camp- bell and Winthrop were brought together in a room of the Police Department at the City Hall and that Campbell at once iaentified Winthrop as the man who had imprisoned and tortured him. Campbell ther retired and Winthrop inquired, “Who is that man?”’ “I asked him if he had never seen him before,” said the witness, “‘and he de- clined answering.” The witness produced a steel split ring which he said he found in the basement of the cottage at 4109 California street. Officer Clancey being placed on the stand testified to having searched the cottage on August 16, and to have found hidden behind a coal bin in the basement a chain with a staple attached, and also a quantity of rope, which wasalso attemptea to be hidden. Manager Frank Jaynes of -the Western Union Company was the next to testify. At the request of Mr. Barnes, he produced telegrams sent from this City to San Jose addressed to D. A. Urquhart by Winthrop | bearing date of July 31 On motion of Mr. Barnes, the telegrams, which made appointments between Win- throp and Urquhart, were then introduced in evidence, against the objection of the defense. Mr. Barnes next produced a letter, which he asked to have introduced in evidence. The defense strenuously objected. Judge ‘Wallace asked to see the document, and it turned out to be an order signed by Win- trop and addressed to Mr. Jaynes, ordering him to deliver to Attorney Bell all tele- grams which he (Winthrop) had sent to Urquhart from San Jose, the intention being to remove the messages from the Western Union files. In order to prove that Winthroo signed the letter to Mr. Jaynes Mr. Barnes put At- torney Bell on the stand. The lawyer admitted having written the body of the letter, but declined to state whether or not Winthrop signed it, claim- ing that if he did soit wasa privileged commaunication. In that position he was sustained by the court. Mr. Jaynes then resumed by stating that Mr. Bell called at the Western Union office regarding the telegram, but the witness did not see him. “You have another telegram sent from San Jose on July 31 and signed W inthrop, have you?”’ asked Mr. Barnes. “1 have it here sealed, and will not open it exeept by direction of the court, as I do not know whether it refers to this case or not.” 5 Judge Wallace ordered the witness to open the envelope. Mr. Barnes and Cap- tain Lees read it. The telegram turned out to be a_cipher dispatch to Atworney Quitzow. It was finally admitted for identification. It ran as follows: SAN Josk, July 31, 1896, H. W. Quitzow, San Francisco: See Main, 8 Alpine streel. President thirty-six. = Be cautious. WINTHROP, The case was continued over until to- morrow, as the court will be closed to-day. SUBSIDES FOR SHIS The Liberal Sums Which Are Now Paid by European Governments. Comp:tition With Japan Impossible. Important Advices From ‘Washington. At yesterday’s session of the board of trustees of the Chamver of Commerce a communication was read from the Ameri- can Merchant Marine Association of New York, giving a rough estimate of the sub- sidies, bonuses, etc., paid by European Governments to their steam and sail ton- nage. It shows that the total amount paid by Great Britain was $5,033,440; by Germany, $1,240,000; by Norway and Swe- den, $318,000; by France, $2,100,000; by Italy, $801,917; by Austria-Hungary, $1,600,000. It is evident, from these figures, that with the $20,000 subsidy in silver Japan will pay each way to steamers of 5000 tons burden on the line about to be established between the United States and the Orient, no steamers flying the American or En, lish flag can afford to navigate the Pacitic Ocean in competition with them. The subsidy will pay the expenses of coal, provisions and wages, leaving the earn- ings on freight and passage comparatively clear profit. Un ted States Senator John T. Morgan of A abama in reply to a resolution of thaugs passed by the chamber, wrote: Ihold in great honor and esteem the men who, through your Chamber of Commerce, have accomplished so much and are resolved to continue the great work of developing and controlling those immense resources of wealth and of our prosperity and glory as a leading Power in the world. That my deyotion to a work that is so inviting and full of the re- gummeuu of duty should have been so indly approved by your Chamber of Com- merce gives me a gratification that more than compensates me ior the inefficient support I have been able to give in the Senate. Should I live to see Alabama and California bronght into the commercial relations due to these great States of our southern border, and to share in rendering to you, sir (Captain W. L. Msn-yg. the proper reward of gratitude for your enlightened and courageous’support of the Nicaraguan canal, I shall regard that service as being in the highest sense honorable and desirable. It was stated in a communication from the Department of State at Washington that the name of Dr. Raffel had been sub- mitted for appontment as president of the Municipal Council at Apia, Samoa. in place of James R. Watson, objected to by the chamber as being inimical to Ameri- can interests. Secretary Beanston informed the cham- ber that its petition for the establishment by the Board of Education of an evening school of navigation for boys was under consideration, but would not be finally acted upon until the latter part of this month. ————————— CHUTES TC-DAY. Admission Day Will Be Celebrated Out on Haight Street. Admission day will pe appropriately observed at the chutes. There will be a special matinee in the casino this after- noon, with a number of new features, and at half-past 4 Antonio Pirri, the young man from Milan, will shoot down the chutes on his bicycle and land in the lake without injury to himself or wheel. In the evening there will be an elabor- ate illumination of the grounds, and the chutes, scenic railway, trolley, merry-go- round, haunted swing, ball of illusions and other attractionsof the Haight-street grounds will be in full operation. wkING" McMANUS DYING The Ruler of the Potrero in Past Years Waiting for the End. He Has Managed to Fight Death Away for More Than Three Months of Torture. The “King of the Potrero” is lying nigh unto death. Stricken with dropsy of the stomach, Frank McManus has been obliged to lay aside his scepter for the time being, and his subjects, who crowd about his bedside nightly, have little hope of his recovery. A consultation of physicians was held vesterday to determine whether the pa- tient should be operated upon, and it was decided that the operation might be de- layed until Dr. Morse of the Board of Health returns from Stockton on Thurs- aay. No man is batter known in the middte stratum of politics than Frank McManus. Years ago he absolutely controlled the suffrage in this County south of Mission Creek, the voters of the Union Iron Works and the slaughter-houses casting their ballots according to his dictum. %is ab- sence from the field in this campaign has been a noticeable feature, Four months ago McManus was taken sick, and from a man of powerful physigue, weighing 230 rounds, he has fallen away to a mere skeleton, weighing less than 150 pounds. BOLLES GETS THE PLUM. The Captaln of the Columbia Will Be Made Local Inspector of Bolilers. Captain O. F. Bolles of the steamer Columbia will receive the appointment of local inspector of hulls and boilers, made vacant by the recent death of Captain Tal- bot. At least such is the recommendation of the special commission consisting of Judge Morrow, Collector Wise and Super- vising Inspector Bermingham. On Friday last an examination for the vacant position was held at the Hulls and Boilers office, Appraiser’s building, six well-known sea captains undergoing the test. Yesterday their papers were opened and Captain Bolles was found to have ob- tained the highest pergenta, -90—Cap- tain F. W. Hart of the Zealandia being next on the list. ‘The successful aspirant was born in Massachusetts, in 1840. From his appli- cation now on file in the Hulls and Boilers office it is learned that he went to sea when only 18 years oid. In time he be- came mate of sailing and steamship ves- sels, and for the last twenty-six years been a licensed master. Captain Bolles is one of the most popular »cng,tnins on the coast and his appointment by the Secre- tary of the Treasury, on the recommenda- tion of the local board, is most deserving. —————————— HAD TO BE sHOT. A Valuable Horse Comes to Grief in a Free Fight. ¥ No small disturbance was created yes- terday morning at Sells & Forepaugh’s circus by a free fight among the stallions. The. powerful brutes bit, kicked and jumped upon each other in the wildest fashion, and before the hostlers could re- duce them to subjection one beautiful and valuable white horse had been so severely kicked that its sufferings were painful to witness, Officer McCurrie of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was summoned to the scene of the equine iray, and at the request of the proprietors ended the stallion’s misery by shooting it through the head. The men who had been in charge of the horse had learned to love him for his_rare beauty and intelli- s:n:a. and would not remain to see him sho! —— Italian Consul Banqueted. Cav. F.

Ceming Fete of the Women's Educational and Indus- trial Union. LIST OF THE PARTICIPANTS. Judging From Present Indications the Affair Will Be a Magnifi- cent Success. Great preparations are being made for the splendid Carnival of Nations, which will open on the evening of the 21st inst. in Natfve Sons’ Hall, on Mason street, near Post. The affair is to be conducted by the members and friends of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union, and hopes are cherished that it will result in the addition of a substantial sum to the union’s building fund. ¢If the carnival be a success,” said Mme. Louise Sorbier, president of the union, yesterday, ‘we intend to employ a part of the proceeds in the construction of a free gymnasium for women. Our main object, however, is to get a home of our own. We have many friends, and I for one am sure they will do their best to aid us in realiz- ing this good purpose. There will be many new and attractive features in the carnival, and I am sure all visitors will find it & most unique and delightful affair.” ‘.

The Brave Engineer Is Presented With Tokens of Appreciation by His Employers. Engineer E. F. Ingles, the hero of Web- ster’s, who saved his passengers from rob- bery by killing Bandit Morgan on Septem- ber 5, was called before J. A. Fiilmore, A. D. Wilder and other officers of the Soathern Pacific Railway Company yes- terday morning and given a testimonial for bravery. No other persons were pres- ent and the ceremony was simple. Mr. Fillmore handed the brave engineer the company’s check for $250, together with a beautiful gold watch and chain. On the watch was the following inscription: “To Mr. Edward F. Ingles, from the Southern Pacific Railway Company in recognition of his heroic conduct in saving his train from robbers. September 5, 1896.’ Mr. Ingles was decply moved by the presentation. He thanked the donorsand said he did not consider that he had done anything more than his dut 10 EIVCNE THE BT, A Proposal to Have a State Exhibit at a Distant City. Request for Articles for the Phi'a- deiphia National Produce Mus um. The directors of the State Board of Trade held their regular monthly meeting yester- day. At the last gathering of the directors ‘Will E. Fisher, in a communication, sug- gested that the different commercial organizations of the State and the State Board of Trade unite in the collection of a produce exhibit to be maintained in some large Eastern city. The committee which had been ap- pointed by the board to investigate the proposed matter reported that the ex- penses of collecting and forwarding the exhibit, such as would be a credit to Cali- fornia, would amount to $7250. The cost of maintaining this collection in a good locality for the first year would be $9200 and the following year about $10,000. This would make the total cost for two years $26,450. The committee recommended that the board notify the different commercial bodies that it was willing to undertake the collection and maintensnce of an adequate exhibit of the resources of the State for the sum mentioned. It was also recommended by the board | that legislative action be taken whereby the counties of the State be authorized to raise their yearly exhibition fand from $1000 to $2000, and al-o that a permanent State fund of $25,000 annually be appro- priated for exhibition purposes. The proposition to make a produce ex- hibition at the Golden Gate Park Museum was not favored by the board as such ex- hibition would injure the exhibit at the Board of Trade rooms in this City. The directors of the great National Produce Museum at Philadelphia, whica is maintained by that city, have requested that the different State boards appoint two representatives to confer with them on the subject of perfecting the Philadel- phia exhibition. 5 3 The museum managers desire to receive constantly articles for exhibit from all over the United States. They collect and transport ali articles to the museum at their own expense. The matter was favorably considered. THERE IS A DEADLOCK. Election Commissioners Cannot Agree on the Awarding of a Contract. Mayor Satro will probably have to re- turn before the Board of Election Com- missioners can decide who is to have the contract for building the voting stalls in the election booths. Thevote on the mat- ter stands a tie, and none of the commis- sioners seems to have any intention of changing his mind. The matter is being postponed from day to day.
