14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1896. OLD SUPERVISORS WANT T0 TARRY Preparing to Test Their Tenure of Official Life. They Are Hoping to Hold on Two Years More as County Officers. ASEWORTH MAY JOIN 1IN, And an Issue Will Be Raised in the Supreme Court of Great Impor- tance to Citizens. The old Board of Supervisors does not propose to get out of office without first testing the tenure of their oflicial life in a legal war. This information comes from asource which leaves no room for ques- tion concerning its accuracy. The news was at first doubted, but 1t was confirmed late last night. The facts concerning the Kahn against Sutro suit before the Su- preme Court are so fresh in the mind that it isnot necessary to more than briefly recapituiate. The Supreme Court de- cided, and this consideration is the essen- tial one in the present instance, that the officers who administer the executive de- partments of the City and County ot San Francisco are in two classes. One class is made up of county oflicers and the other class, under the terms of the decision quoted, were ascertained by the Supreme Court to be only municipal or city officers. Those in the class of county officers were Jound by the Supreme Court to be entitied, under the county government act, to hold on two years longer in office. The officers so classea are well known. Now it has recently occurred to some members of the present Board of Super- visors that they are county officers. ‘Whether they were so considered by the Supreme Court, or whether their point was taken into account at all by the Justices, does not appear from the wozd- ing of the decision, which is entirely sitent in that regard. But when the snggestion took hold that Supervisors are county officers, and that they may be as weli entitled to hold over as the other officials who have been specifically designated by the Supreme Court, the idea was so taking that itat once secured a strong and lasting grip on the minds of certain of the present board. The prospect of legally holding office two Yyears more was surely alluring. The success of the scheme may have been thought to partly depend upon the degree of secrecy which was attendant upon the taking of the initial steps. Gon- ferences have been held from time to time during the past two weeks, at w ich Jearned counsel has been present. Who the lawyer is who has principally figured as legal adviser 1o the Stpervisors has not been made public, but a hint was thrown out last night that General Dickinson might be the man. Supervisor Benjamin said last evening that he had heard the talk about holding on. He understood aiso that Superin- tendent of Streets Ashworth was going to see whether the law does not entrench him in & legally impenetrable | position for two years more. Mr. Benja- min has been confined to bis home some days, but he knew of the talk before he went home. He said that if the others go in together to test their legal rights and legal standing he would co-operate with them. A close friend of Supervisor Wagner said last evening he had heard that all the Supervisors, or nearly all, were of the opinion that under the Kahn against Sutro aecision they were stricily in it, and they have secured legal advice that their atti- tude is entirely correct. The matter is common talk among them. This proposed move of the present Supervisors wiil proba- bly be a source of astonishment to the newly elected board, who were peacefully banqueted a few nights ago by Mayor- elec. Phelan, their calling and election then bemng supposed by them and also by the very great majority of the citizens of San Francisco to be sure beyond cavil or question. The secret projection of such a Jeading 1ssue comes with the suddenness and some of the surprising effect of a bombsheil of the political sort. Whatever the result may be the move- ment points ont once more the singular snarl in the official affairs of the City and County which has been occasioned by the opinion and decision of the Su- preme Court recently. The news was ob- tained too Jate last night to make it pos- sible to interview many persons. Some of the present Supervisors were out when CALL reporters sought to find them at their places of business or homes, The idea was prevalent that they did not wish to be questioned at this time, for they have not their plans fully made. One who shoula know said that they had been advised that there are several claims which they may advocate with a show of success. The news is sure to occasion a sensation. Theexisting official situation is entirely unique. The Supreme Court changed the old-time understand- ting concerning the legzal position of officials who In the City and County of San Francisco were heretofore considered ‘to be in one class. New complications are possible if the old Supervisors succeed. THE BOY BEATER. Charles Peterson, the Sailor, Ordered Iuto Custody and His Bonds Con- siderably Increased. Charles Peterson, the sailor who bru- tally beat his stepson, Frank Augsberger, Sunday night with a rope’s end and was arrested Wednesaay for cruelty to chil- dren and battery, failed to appear when his case was called in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morning. He had been released on $300 bonds, Attorneys Frey and Becsey being his sureties, and the Judge deciared the bonds forfeitea and ordered a bench warrant issued for Peter- son’s arrest. Shortly afterward Peterson in court with his wife. Both were drunk. Peterson was immediately ar- rested and taken to the City Prison, and the Judge, who had seen the boy’s condi- tion, increased his bonds to $1000 on each charge. Mrs. Peterson was also arrested ‘on the charge of drunkenness. She presented a repulsive sight. Both her eyes were black and swollen and her face was covered with contusions from her husband’s blows. Policeman T. J. Coleman, who had charge of the boy, took him again to the . Recerving Hospital, where Dr. Weil dressed his lefteye. There is a possibility that the boy may lose the sight of his eye. He is being cared for at the Youths’ Di- rectory. The Pacific Coast Society for the Pre- vention of Uruelty to Children will see to it that Peterson is vigorously prosecuted {for his brutality. appeared ol MRy Sl Returned for the Winter. Colonel W. P, Harrington and John Boggs, both of Colusa, arrived here yesterday, accom- panied by their famiiies, and have taken apartments at the Palace for the winter. They have been absent from the City, staying at their homes in Colusa County, for a long time, Ty (IR I— L &) 3 It o ey o 4f Ry s = aSE ¥ a Coullen The Above Sketch Gives a View of the Northern Portion of the Bay as It Appeared Yesterday. The American Ship Francis Is Shown in the Fore Part of ®the Picture With Her Flag at Half Mast on Account of the Death of Captain Smith’s Wife. AN INFLUX OF WHEAT VESSELS Over Two Dozen of Them | Arrived in Port Yesterday. Some Are Chartered “(o Arrive,” but Others Are Here on “Spec.” SEVERAL IN THE FAIRWAY. The Monowai and Rio de Janeiro Will Have a Race to Hone- lulu. Never since the days of '49 has the har- bor been so crowded as itisat present. All classes of vessels are here, and seven out of every ten are seeking a charter. Many of them are in ballast, ana some have brought coal from Australia for a nominal sum in order to make expenses. All the captains are exciied over the ad- vance in wheat, and some of the new ar- rivals are holding out for a 35-shilling rate to **Cork for orders.’ A few days ago the disengaged ton- nage in port aggregated 68,535 tons, while in 1895 it was only 27,664 tons. At the | same time the engaged tonnage was 103,- 828, while in ’95 it was.only 92,415. Since the above figures were made up quite a number of vessels from foreign ports have arrived, end in consequence the disen- gaged list has been lareely increased. Among the vessels lying in the stream is the American ship Francis. Early in the morning the tug Alert wentout to her and brought ashore a funeral party. Cap- tain Smith’s wife died when twelve days from port and he brought the remains here for interment. The American vessel stood up among the forty or fifty British- ers, the only one that flew the stars and stripes, and it was at half mast. When the tug landed the mourners the remains were at once taken to Laurel Hill, where the interment took place. Several of the vessels that got in an- chored in the fairway, and Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott was kept busy or- deringz them to mave. The Alcinous got in last night and nas been on the move ever since. The captain would not accept the services of a tug, and sailed up the bay from Meiggs wharf. In the first vlace he had anchored right in the way of the Tiburon and Sausalito ferry-boats, and on the second occasion he was in the fairway of the Oskland Creek boats. A second warning was given and Captain McCormaig had to again hoist up his an- chor and move on. The ship is now well up in Mission Bay and out of harm’s way. The Inverneill and the Pierre Corneille were also in the fairway, and M:. Scott went out on the Governor Irwin and ordered them to move this morning. The Larnaca, which was in collision with the Pierre Corneille, was also in the fairway, bnt was moved last evening. The Lancing, which started for the gas works and ran on & mud bank, will be hauled off and docked at Fremont-street wharf to-day. There was considerable trouble in finding a berth for her, as she occupies the space usually assigned to two ships. Her cargo of coal will be dis- charged into scows and lightered to ifs destination. The water-front thieves are still at work. Their ingenuity is remarkable. While they can steal a 200-pound bell from a sbip, they are also equal to rifling a nickel-in-the-slot machine. Yesterday two of them went inio the Dundon Tim- ber-preserving Company’s office and got away with about $6 in nickels. One of them bad a coil of wire in h's hand and the other had a bag of.tools. They told Dundon that his telephone was out of order and that they were going to fix it. They did fix it, and at the same time got away with a week’s colleciions. Several other nickel-in-the-slot telephones along the front were also tapped, and now the police are looking for the thieves. The whaling bark Cape Horn Pigecn ‘is baving 2 new mainmast put in, and the Calfornia will go on the drydock. As soon as the repairs on the two vessels are completed they will sail for the southern seas after the sperm whales. The Pigeon is the most successiul ail-round wualer aflont, and her captain expects to make a big catch next seasen. _The new boilers for the Spreckels col- lier Czarina were put 1n yesterday., When in position and the machinery keyed up the vessel will te one of the bestof her classon the coa:t. She will carry Beaver Hill coal'to this port, and then there will be a chance of supplying the demand for that class of coal. At present the bunkers are empty half the time. The Czarina will have her trial about the first week in December. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Monowai and the Pacific Mail Company’s Rio de Janeiro both sailed for Hon- olulu yesterday. The Monowa! is en route for Sydney, N. 8. W., via Honolulu, Apia and Auckland, and the Rio for Hongkong via Honolulu and Yoko- hama. Chief Engineer McCaig oi the Monowai says thai with the “retards’’ now in use in the boilers he can beat the Rio into Honolulu twelve hours. The Pacific Malil people laugh at the idea, so the out- come of the run will be looked for with much interest. The passengers on the Monowai are: For Houolulu—Miss L. A. Banning, W. H. Baugh, H. S. Cross, E. L. T. Fuhrmann, C. B. Hall, A. Haas, Dr. G. H. Huddy, W. J. Kane, J. M. McChesney, wife, three children ana maid, Cantain John Metcalfe. Miss Ruth Met- calie, J.

Hall and wife, Karl Hermann, Pro- fessor D, H. Shauinsland and wife. The Rio took away very few passengers but considerable cargo. The schooner Berwick, now on the way to San Francisco, had a peculiar experi- ence in Coquille River. In passing out Captain Straban ran her on a sand spit, and when the tide went out shg was hard and fast. She settled and it was finally decided that the easiest wnI\; out of the trouble would be to haul the schooner over the spit into the river. This was done and the Berwick sailed again forSan Francisco little the worse for her mishap. The Harbor Commissioners met yester- day and instructed Superintendent of Re- pairs Patterson to inspect the water front, and anywhere he found a hole in a wharf to put a fence around it and also a light on the fence at night. After doing so he will report to the board, and then it will be seen whether the City or the State is liable for the repairs, An ambulance is to be stationed at the water front, and the Board of Health wants the Commissioners to co-operate. The matter was taken under advisement, but the chances are that the required fa- cilities will be granted. There is trouble brewing on the bark Mohican, that gotin from Honolulu ves- terdoy. The men say that Chief Officer Murray was too handy with the belaying- pin, and that the second mate and several of the crew still carry marks of his disci- pline. The chances are that the matter will be aired in the United States courts. The fleet in the stream was added to last night by the arrival of the Cloncaird from Newcastle, N. 8. W., the Grenaaa from Departure Bay and the Indian Empire from Callao. g = KANE WAS IN THE WAY, Story Explaining Why a Cours- ing Match Did Not Come Off. O1e Humane Sccicty Seems to Have Stalled an Exhibition Intend-d for Anothers There are two stories concerning the failure to give a sample coursing exhibi- tion at the Presidio athletic grounds last Sunday for the enlightenment of the di- rectors of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. One story, which was given out last Sunday and which was generally accepted as true, was that no hares could be procured for the day. The other story is of a very different sort. The exhibition was arranged to come off, and the directors were there all right; but there were others. . Frank J. Kane, secretary of the Pacific Society for the Suppression of Vice (this society also embracing within its work the prevention of cruelty to ani- Su:!s and the prevention of cruelty to chil- ren) heard in advance of the exhibition. He had no doubt as to whether the re- sults of coursing—the tearing of the hares—was cruelty. He determined to put a stop to the exhibition, and so went to the Presidio with the intention of camping on the athletic grounds all day. He arrived there about 3 A. M. and -re- mained there until about 3 ». M. Then he concluded that the exhibition was off, and went away. When the events of the day have since been mentioned Mr. Kare has acted as if he were amused. The parties interested in coursing were not. particularly pleased to see Mr. Kane, for his intentions had in some way be- come either known or were guessed at shrewdly. It will be recollected that C. B. Holbrook, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, on a previous occasion disapproved of the coursing of dogs after live hares. Then pressure was brought to bear upon the di- rectors of the society to witness one exhi- bition, that they might make up their minds from parsonnf observation. Sev- eral directors consented to go. The exhi- bition did not come off. Mr. Kane says that he did not know until late in the afternoon that the di- rectors were at the Presidio. He had not seen them und did not see them until, late in the afternoon, the weather having become threatening, he started to go away. So the directors did not see any coursing mateh after live hares. The rectors may or may not have been sur- prised, but at any rate the mystery was explained, ————— RELIANCE ATHLETIC CLUB. It Will Give a -‘Gentlemen’s Night’ on Tuesday Evening Next.

IT WAS TO0 DARK - TO SEE. Fright as an Emstic and a Timely Physician Saved the Pretty Actress’ Life. Miss Victory Bateman went through her part as Derothy at the Grand Opera- to get the wrong box, or how they hap- pened to be together,” said the actress, as she tossed her aching head around on the pillow. “It was a dreadful mistake, and it will not nappen again, I assure you. I knew I had taken strychnine just as soon as I had swallowed it, and { thought 1 was gone. And how glad I was when it made me sick, for I knew that was my onlv salvation. *‘Oh, I'll go to the theater and go through my role to-night. but I'm afraid ‘Dorothy’ will make a poor showing, as I would rather stay here in bed all the evenine. Please don’tsay anything about this, except that it was a mistake. This is not the kind of notoriety one cares about.” Then Dorothy, the heroic maid of the revolutign, in the play, wiped her eyes and fevecish brow in real life, and turned her head away, and tried to remember her partly forgotten lines in time for the cur- tain call, LONELY SEA LIFE. Captain Moore of the Patterson Tells How the Gloom Was Lifted by Occasional Mails. - Captain E. K. Moore of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey ship Patterson arrived here yesterday and is at the Occidental. His ship will go into the drydock at the foot of Main street to re- ceive some repaire. She will not return to the Alaska coast, where she has been, till next spring. **We were at work off the southeast coast of Alaska,” said Captain Moore last night. “The ship has been up there each season since 1884. She was built a year previous. MISS VICTORY BATEMAN. house last evening with an aching head and a nervous system very much un- strung. In fact, the popular little astress was very much inclined to go home to bed and let “The Minute Men of 1774-75" worry along without her, and 1t was all because a few hours before she did not notice that a box containing phenacetine and"another of the same size containing strychnine lay in a dangerous proximity on the wash- stand in her room when she sought a dose of medicine for an attack of neuralgia. About 12 o'clock Wednesday night Miss Bateman returned to her room at the Langham, corner of Ellis and Mason streets, from the theater and soon after retired. Being unable to sleep from neu- ralgic pains in her head, she arose from her bea and turning up the light she started to measure out about ten grains of phenacetine, the quantity she in_the habit of taking. This she dropped in her mouth, immediately washing the powder down with a little water, Instantly the intensely bitter tasteof the powder told her fiu haa taken the wrong dose. Then she rembered that some strychnine in an old phenacetine box had been placed on the stationary washstand for the purpose of destroying the tiny water worms. The dreadful knowledge that she had taken enough poison to kill several per- sons not accustomed to that diet and the nauseating flavor of the strychnine made ber deathly sick, and the vomiting that ensued saved her life. 1A physician was called, who imme- diately ook the proper measures to re- move all the poison from her stomach, and when she was pronounced out of all dancer she was in an extreme state of nervous prostration. When Miss Batemen was interviewed yesterday afternoon at the Langham bi' a CALL reporter, she confessed to fee ing somewhat *‘shaky,”” but much rejoiced at her narrow escape. ; *It is no use to explain how I happened Our force has been ioing rightalong doiag regular survey work, getting our bearings in the first place by the stars and then makiog triangulations_and studying the contour of the coast. We have also been tak:ng regular soundings. “We have been out at sea during almost the whole of the present season, away from towns and stations and where we saw no one. It would have been very louely, but fortunately we were working along the line of the regular mail and passencger steamers to Alaska. A steamer came by us each way every two weeks. **The steamer from below brought our mail and took aboard any we had, and the Jetters and papers we got helped im- mensely in enanling us to pass our time when we were not at work.” SINGING AT MIDNIGHT Edith Fletcher, Aged 12, Taken From a Stage Where She Was Performing.

HARRY EMERIC AND THE GOVERNOR The Fish Commissioner Resigned Because He Was Angry. Budd Was Slow in Appointing Alexander Vogelsang to Office. WHY MORRISON WAS ABSENT The New Board Will Be Composed of Emeric, Vogelsang and Mor- rison of Sacramento. Harry Emeric, who is one of the three Fish Commissioners of this State, is a very near friend of the Governor. Mr. Emeric, it is said, used his influence and expended several thousand dollars in making a fight for James H. Budd when he was in the field two years ago against M. M. Estee, the defeated candidate. The Governor thoroughly appreciated the good work accomplished by Mr. Emeric in his behalf, and unhesitatingly appointed him to the posidon he sought, which was that of Fish Commissioner. Mr. Emeric is passionately fond of angling; in fact, he takes more enjoyment in fishing than in any other pastime, and it cannot be gainsaid that since his ap- pointment he has proved a valuable ad- junct to the Fish Commission. William C. Murdoch was Emeric's right bower, and when Mr. Morrison of Sacra- mento was appointed by Governor Budd to succeed H. L. Macneil of Los Angeles Emeric put on his warpaint, and, so the | story goes, he informed his friend the Governor that Morrison was a stranger to matters that pertained to fish, etc. The Governor informed his friend Emeric that the sportsmen of the State were desirous that some person conversant with the game interests should figure on the commission, hence the appointment of Mr. Morrison. The latter gentleman attended some of the meetings of the commission in this DOCKERY AND HIS FO0D STATIONS One of the Best Inspecting Systems in the World. Not Only Milk but Meat, Vége- tables and Liquors to Be Tested. ANEW CHEMICAL LABORATORY The Terror of Impure-Milk Venders Will Still Skirmish Around in the Roads. This City has now in operation what may well be considered one of the most thorough systems of food inspection to be found anywhere in the country, or, for that matter, in any other country. It consists of four food-inspection sta- tions, covering the whole of the City and County of San Francisco. No.1 is situ- ated near the ferries, at the foot of Clay street; No. 2 at the intersection of Fourth and Berry streets, No.3 at the intersec- tion of Army and Alabama streets, ana No. 4 on Geary street, near Central avenue. A year ago the 1st of last October the milk inspection of this City had its in- ception. J. P. Dockery was appointed Chief Milk Inspector, and the crusade was carried o to the tune of cracking re- volvers and the merry clink of milk- cans being emptied of their impure con- tents. In February last an ordinance was adopted by the Board of Supervisors spe- cifying that ever vender of milk must ob- tain & permit from the Board of Health. Application blanks were made ont giving all data pertaining toeach man’s business. He was permitted to choose which station he would rather pass through nigntly to have his milk inspected. The ordinance provides that all dealers must have their permit number on the sides of their wagon seats. These num- bers have been segregated according to the stacion through which the vender passes. The deputies in charge of these stations make daily examinations of the milk, and in case they find it nct up to the standard they take two samples, each in a pint bot~ tle. The milk is then emptied into the gutter, The samples taken are hermetically sealed with wax, one being returned to the dealer, the other being set aside in the station and properiy labeled for identifica- tion. Each day one inspector will make the round of the stations and take all samples to Chief Food Inspector Dockery’s office in the new City Hall. The fact of adealer having a certificate of inspection on his wagon by no means grants him immunity from examination on the road: Dockery is iikely to pop up with his little Jactometer at any time, and a man who has watered his milk after leaying any of the stations wiil find him- self in a sorry predicament. Any wagon carrving a certificate of inspection and adulterated milk at the same time will subject the owner toa loss of his license. The originator of the station ideais J. B. Reinstein, attorney for the Board of Health. It is claimed that by its opera- tion in & short time no one will atiempt to se!l adulterated milk. In regard to the inspection of foods other than milk, the intention of the Board of Health is to wage war on evervthing found adulterated. This will include vepetables, meats, canned goods, wines and liquors. As soon as the chemical laboratory vlanned by the board is completed the various deputy inspectors will collect samples -of different kinds of foods throughout the City. All adulterated brands will be condemned and confis- cated. city, but he says he discovered thatall fish and no game was the order of business, and that his suggestions in reference to the importation and protection of game birds and animals received a cool recep- tion from his confreres, so he grew dis- gusted, and for several months subse- quent to the first and second meetings of the commissioners, which he attended, he has remained aloof from the regular ses- sions. In fact, according to a copy of the biennial report of the commission, Mr. Morrison’s name is omitted. Owing to some unexplained cause Mr. Murdoch handed in his resignation to the Governor some months ago. Mr. Emeric suggested the name of Alexander Vogel- sang. The Governor seemingly was a little tardy in appointing Mr. Vogelsang to the position left vacant by the resigna- tion of Mr. Murdoch, and as a result Mr. Emeric, who evidently did not approve of the Governor's slow methods, forwarded his resignation as a representative of the State Fish and Game Jommission. Now that theGovernor has appointed Mr. Vogelsang a fish commissioner, it is pre- sumed that Mr. Emeric will reconsider bis determination to resign from the commis- sion, and that the new board will be com- posed of Emeric, Vogelsang and Morrison, WITHOUT FENDERS. Suit Against the Market-Street Rail- way on Account of a Boy’s Death. Attorneys Henley & Costello, on behalf of their client, Mrs. Eila Green, will to-day file a suit against the Market-street Rail- way Company for §50,000 damages on ac- count of the killing of her minor son, Eddie Galvey, by a Mission-street clectric car on the 20th of last month. An important principal point involved is the question of the liability incurred by the company for exceeding the lawful speed in running cars, and for neglecting to {urnish cars with proper guards or fen- ders as they are reqnired todo by a statute passed by the Suvervisors of this City and County, and approved June 26, 1889, The plaintiff sets forth the requirements of the ordinance, to the effect that the guards for dummies or cable-cars must be S0 constructed as to prevent the killing of persons who may be accidentally struck thereby, so far as the same is practicable,” and that the design 1or such fender should be submitted to the Board of Supervisors (o}' approval or rejection. The complaint alleges that no such pre- vention was taken by the company, and that in consequence of such neglect, the boy was kitlea. "It is also alleged that the car was going ten or fifteen miles an hour, which is much in excess of the lawiul speed of eight miles an hour. —————— A million acres of forest are cutdown every year to supoly European railway companies with sleepers on which the lines are laid. — CASTORIA Dealers in_the same will be handled in accordance with the pure food laws of the State of California.

John Malone was driving a sand wagon across Sixth and Folsom streets about 7 o’clock last evening when electric-car No. 1092 cotlided with the wagon. Malone was thrown from his seat by the shock and fell to the ground, alighting on his knees. The rear part of the wagon, which was struck by the car, was smashed in pieces. Malone was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital, where Dr. Fitzgibbon found that both of his kneecaps were broken. He will be a cripple for life. Albert Benton Bage, the motorman, was arrested by Policemen Connors and Hem- enez and taken to the Seventeenth-street station, where he was charged with bat- tery. He was released on his own recogni- zance by order of Captain Spillane. ———————— Sons of Vermont.
