THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1897 TEACHERS AND CONTRACTORS MAY SUE FOR THEIR BILLS Ex-President Hyde Says Cla the Auditor Must Pay ims. HE SCORES TWO BOARDS Says the Last Two Bodies Have Been Extravagant and Arbitrary. CANNOT DIVIDE SCHOOL FUND The Ex-Schoo! Director and Attor- ney Says Mandamus Would Be Against the Auditor. There has been considerable interest in the status of the public school funds for several weeks owing to Auditor Brod- erick’s statement that there are no avail- able assets with which to pay teachers their current salaries. Auditor Broderick’s statement seems to confirm the esiimate of Chairman Wal- ler of the Finance Committee of the Board of Education, to the effect that the department is confronted with a deficit of about $90,000. F. A. Hyde, ex president of various boards of education, has entered the field as a disputant of mnearly all the facts alleged by Chairman Wailer and Auditor Broderick, That the case may appear clear to the taxpayer, it is well to recur to Auditor Broderick’s figures. His statement ot the condition of the finances of the de- partment is coniained in the following table: Appropriation for 1896-97, For Mission High School. Balance from 1595-96. $1,000,000 00 200,000 00 Total Andited 81, 1896, Allowed under one-twelfth act. Surplus from 1895-96. Total amount avallable to De- cember 1, 1896.. Total amouut audited. 8541,27 560,16 e3 Overdraft for the last half of the fiscal year E $18,873 85 Bills on han: ted ! : 17,958 12 Estinate for teachers’ salaries for Junuary . A 74,000 00 Estimate for office, shop, jauitcrs T Y R SR 5,582 50 Total estimated expenses for Jauuary Allowance of the one-twelfih et for January .. Gt T Estimated overdraft end of Jan 5 o 314,056 55 The chief contest in which the public is concerned is that between the chairman of the present Finance Com: mittee and the chairman of the same committee of & for- mer board. The Auditor's statement seems to confirm the estimate of Director Waller, but F. A. Hyde, former presi- dent of various boards, has different ideas. In an interview with THE CALL yesterday he said: The fact is that none of the figures are cor- rect. The claim of ex-Director Hawley that there is no deficiency 1s correct, but his fig- ures in support of the proposition are absurd. The figures of Waller and Auditor Broderick are correct, but they do not support their con- clusions that there is & deficit. The Auditor’s error, which has been accepted by the present and past Boards of Education, 18 in settin~ aside the sum of $200,000 for the Mission High School, as a separate fund, not to be trenched . upon except for that purpose. It is true that the Board of Supervisors sssumed to do this, but there is no authority of law there- for. There is put one school fund, and if the Bupervisors cun say that $200,000, or any sum, shail be spent for the erection of & High Bchool they can say how much tne directors shall spend for slate-pencils, or carpenter- Wotk, or salaries. The school Directors themselves have 1o power to divide the school fund. The fund is Tesponsible for bills of any character in the order of presentation. The late board re- tained a half month’s salary from the teach- ers. The money was in the treasury to pay them and they were entitied to their money. I understand that the Auditor has declined io approve some of the bills contracted by the late board. In my opinion he hax no right to do it, and if the contractors know their rights they will get their money before it is used for other purposes. The shortage will become ap- parent when the contractors for the Mission High School apply for their money, but as their demands will not mature during this fiscal year, there seems to be o rcason why the teachers should not be paid their full salaries. Whi Balance it is true the last Board of Education emoployed & great many un- necessary teachers, that is no Treason why ail of them should foot the bills, But, 1f the present board refuses to pay the teachers their hali-month’s salary, which was withheld by the late board, they ean collect it by law. The same is true of the contractors. The Auditor must know, for he has been in office long enough to know, that he has no right to withhoid the payment of any bills approved by the Board of Educatiou—pro- vided the one-twelfth act is not violated. The board of Supervisors appropriated $1,200,000. I, in that appropriation, it was stated ‘that $200,000 was for building a M sion High School tnat was only advisory. tollowing out that advice, the Board of Edus tion chose not to spend the $200,000 for other urposes, it could appropriate it o the Mission igh School; but, ii the directors contracted indebtedness in ¢xcess of $1,000.000 then the surplus must come out of the $200,000 fund, In fact there is but one innd. The Auditor says that there isat present an c the funds of the department of $36, this deficit he does not include the $200,000, of which $100,000 is t0 the credit of the fund up to the first of this January,and it leaves, instead of a deficit, aconsidernble fund car- ried over. Tt is undoubtedly true that the late board bougnt supplies and contracted obligations that were nnnecessary and extravagant, bnt that {8 no reason why those who have parted with their goods or furnished labor and mate- rial should not receive their money. They made their contracis with the Board of Educa- tion, and their bills huve been presented and approved. 1 thiuk that the Auditor knows too much law to refuse to pay them if they give him to understand that their claims will be enforced through the courts. 1 see no necessity ior closing theschools, nor for the teachers losing any_ portion of their salaries for the present fiscal vear. THE SEWER BOND ISSUE. Ex-Mayor Ellert Zhinks That Sewers Can Be Provided Without Bonds. Ex-Mayor Ellert says that he believes that a sewer system can be provided for san Francisco without a bond issue, by providing it gradually. He has long been of this opinion. ‘“We were on the right track to accom- plish that when we had the Sewerage Commission, consisting of Colonel G. H. Mendaell, Professor Davidson, Irving M. Scott, Marsden Manson and C. E. Grun- sky. But the politicians got away with that commission, althouzh I did not think when the Commissioners were ap- pointed that they would dare to do that. Atter that experience, it is doubtful if an- other commission could be appointed on the same general plan. *‘Tne resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors calling upon the San Fran- cisco delegation at Sacramento to work for an act enabling the Supervisors to submit the question of bonding the City $116,415 47 | and County to the people may result in trying that question out. I bave never been in .favor of running the City and | County into ‘debt and am opposed to it now. Still the question will be sestled by the majority if it is submitted, and if the majorily want bonds they will have them.” ————————— H PROGRESS ON SIXTH | That Street to Have | Bitum The merchants on Sixth street are by no means satisfied with the partial improve- ment so far made on that street by the illumination lately added to its attractive- ness. The prime movers in the improvement of this street are: H. Wolf, J. F. Swee- ney, L. V. Merle, H. Alsbach, S. Rosen- thal, W. Marks, H. H. Plant ana W. A. Etting. These gentlemen with others will institute a crusade against the cobbles on the street, in favor of bitumen. They will aiso agitate for a better car service. “We want,” said H. Wolf, “ a line of cars that will connect us with South San Francisco by giving tranafers at Third and Townsend at that end of the line, and also_to Market and the cars running to the Western Addition. “Asfar as the City Front and North Beach is concerned, we understand that the idea of the Market-street Railroad Company is to cross Market, go up Taylor as far as Bush and run down that street as far as Kearny, where it already has a track that connects with Montgomery and Sansome. Once there it can run over its present route to the ferries and up Jack- | son to Kearny, where it can transfer to | the cars on that line to the Beach. “The only thing, as we understand it, that stops this scheme is that the fran- | chise of the Suttar-street road is now be- fore the Supreme Court waizing for a de- cision. Then we expect to see a move- ment made in this direction.” | These 1deas of Mr. Woli are shared by | others and a new era of prosperity is lookea | to for the future of Sixth street. | At the next meeting of the club all the ectric-Cars and | real estate owners will be invited to be present and to join the club. For, as the merchants express it, what will benefit the tenant must assuredly benefit the | property-owners. | The following new members were added to the roll at the meeting on Tuesday night: | 1.8.

FELL 70 HIS DEATH, A Chinese Plunges Down One Hundred Feet in the Palace Hotel. Tried to Get Into a Moving Elevator, but He Slid Under It Into the Shait. Chin Wah Sing, a Chinese housecleaner employed in the Palace Hotel, fell down an elevator sLaft yesterday morning and was killed. It was a shocking accident, for the distance be fell was from the fifth floor to the basement, something over 100 1get. When the Goroner’s deputies reached the place they found Sing lying on a pile of ‘pipes. Scarcely a bone in his body escaped unbroken: in fact, the man was literally crushed by the_ force of the fall. The accident occurred at the elevator on the Annie-street side of the building, the one chiefly used by the servants. The cage stopped on the fifth floor, going up, to allow James Casey, a carpenter, to enter. When the carpenter was safely inside Joe Giilispie, who was in charge of the | elevator, closed thedoor. At thai moment Sing ran to the elevaior and seized the door beton!_n:e latch caught, and throw- it open sprang for the ascending cage, which was then about three feet above the leve! of the floor. In doing so he slippea and both feet went into the eleva- tor shaft under the car and the rorce of the fall threw the Chinaman's body into the shalt. A moment later there was a sickening crash as the body of the man |1anded on the iron pipes over 100 feet | below. From appearances the unforiun- ate fellow must have turned over com- pletely as he went-down, for his head was crushed out of all resemblance to that of a human bein ————— Lecture on the Alps.

LAST CHANCE FOR THEIR LIBERTY Two Manacled Prisoners Attempt to Swim Ashore. They Are Supposed to Be the Highwaymen Wanted in Fresno. Frank Hall and James Wilson Make Desperate Attempt to Get Away From a Sheriff. The early risers who frequent the water front viewed something out of the ordi- nary shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday morning, when the Stockton boat reachea her mooring. Two prisoners, handcuffed, who were in charge ot Deputy Sheriff W. E. Henry of Presno, saw a faint possibility of liberty, and they availed themselves of it. It was a forlorn chance, and came near being their undoing, but they were daring enough to grasp at it. The men are Frank Hall and James Wilson, who are said to be the two hard- est characters who ever visited Fresno Connty. Quite recently no less than twelve peo- ple have been ‘“held up” in Fresno city within a few days. Deputy Sheriff Henry and a friend named L. P. Timmins got a fairly good description of the men and traced tnem to Stookton. While Henry was on the levee from which leaves the afternoon boat for this City on Tuesday he noticed his men among the passengers. The gang-plank was about to be hauied in and there was no time to notify Timmins of the fact. Henry therefore jumped aboard and started with the steamer for tnis City. At midnight Henry and the captain of the vessel placed the men under arrest, handcuffing them for safekeeping. They pleaded mnocence of all crime, as is usual with their kind, and behaved quite prop- erly until the steamer neared the dock in the morning. At this stage of the trip the prisoners made a desperate rush for the vessel’s side and clamoered overboard. They endeavored to swim to the wharf, but their manacled wrists provea unhandy and they were almost drowned before a boat reached them. They were conveyed to the Receiving Hospital and put to bed while their clothes were being dried. At4 o’clock in the afternoon Deputy Sheriffs Henry and Timmins, who reached here on a later boat, took the two men back to Stockton. MANHATTAN ATHLETES. An Evening’s Evtertainment of Boxing, Fencing and Tumbling. The monthly athletic exhibition of the ManhattanClubMonday evening drew over 2000 spectators to their clubrooms at 1749 Missian street. An excellent programme, consisting of boxing, fencing and tumbling was given. The following men appeared in three round exhibition bouts in which a great deal of science was displayed: Koster and Stark, Lynch and Crowly, Kane and Lea, Jerry Keany and Reilly, Wiggins and Schoenield, McDeavitt and Bonsages, Fred Muller and Smith. Messrs. Fleischer, Alpen, Hoops, Kam- ern, Koster and Berguram of the San Fran- cisco Turn Verein gave a pretty exhibition on the vaulting horse and parallel bars. Lorraine and Alpers of the Turn Verein gave a fencing exhibition in which the honors were even. Foster of the Manhattans and Georze Bates of the San Francisco Athletic Ciub concluded the evening’s entertainment with a boxing bout that warmed the hearts of all present. ——————— Held to Answer. Alfred F. Davis, a barber, who shot his brother-in-law, William F. Healey, in the Mis- sion on New Year's morning, was yesterday held by Judge Low to answer before the Su- rior Courton the charge o 2 Hor Tn $1000 bonds. Hesley a5 oné ine was expected to die, but he is now in a fair way to recover. ——— Market-Street Masher. Joseph Bush, the Market-street masher, Who was convicted of vagrancy by Judge Conlan Tuesday, appeared lor sentence yesterday. The Judge, after giving him a deserved scorching, sent him to the County Jai! for six months. THE MEET OF THE ENDEAVORERS W. A. Gillespie Here From Pennsylvania to Fix Ho- tel Accommodations. He Estimates That at Least 5000 East:rn Delegates Will Come to This City. Says It Is Untrue That Philadeiphia Is After the Convention—A Great Meeting Expected H-re. W. A. Gillespie, formerly president of the Phuadelphia Christian Endeavor Union, comprising 20,000 members, ar- rived here yesterday to arrange for the reception here of the Pennsylvanians who will attend the great couvention in this City July 7 next. Mr. Gillespie is accom- penied by George A. Metzger, also of Philadelphia. He =ays about 350 mem bers of the Chris- tian Endeavor from Pennsylvania have arranged witn him to come here. Besides them in the sgme party will be 100 or 125 from Washington, D. C. “The rates are fixed,” said Mr. Gillespie. “They will be $50 from Chicago for the round trip, and about $63 irom Phitadel- phia. We will come by way of Chicago, stopping there for half a day, at Denver one day, Manitou a day. Glenwood Springs part of aday, and Salt Lake over Sunday. “My object in coming was to arrange for stobping over at those places and for hotel accommodations here. The matter of our transportation has been already fixed. “Philadelvhia is not a possibility in con- nection with this convention, notwith- standingt ie recent dispatch that claimed that City was in the field for it. To begin with it does not want it. It isn’tready for it, and if it did want it it would take a year to get ready. “I think at least 5000 will attend the convention from the Kast, and I will be disappointed if there are not 15,000 as a whole bere. The largest convention ever held was in Boston, with 56,000 registered delegates and 70,000 delegate« as 2 whole. Many of them did not register. ““The convention at Washington last year had 41,000 registered delegzat The vari. ous States East, s0 far as I am informed, are expecting 10 come here in large forces. ‘“Coming by the Union Pacific and Cen- tral Pacific we will retnrn by way of Port- Jand, the Northern Pacific and Yellow- sione Park. We will come on special Puilman trains, composed of the finest modern cars. There will be two or three of the trains required to carry the Penn- sylvania and Washington delegations. - “‘Our date of leaving Philadelphia will be June 28, and we expect to be absent just a month. “The Pennsylvania State Endeavor Union is the largest in the world. It has ::er 4000 societies and over 200,000 mem- sl Messrs. Gillespie and Metzear will be here but two days, and will then go to Los An- geles. Returning here they will go home via Oregon. POINT LOBOS OLUB. Favors an Increase in the Pay of Fire- men and Police. At the meeting of the Point Lobos Im- provement Club Tuesday a special com- mittee on transfers on the cross streets re- ported it had succeeded in getting trans- fers to and from the Fillmore-street line after the 1st of February. For thiscon- cession a vote of thanks was tendered the committee. A report was received from the com- mittee appointed to induce the Olympic Salt Water Company to put sidewalks in front of its property on Point Lobos avenue, with the assurance that this much-desired accommodation would be complied with. A resolution was introduced instructing President Fletcher, now at Sacramento, to advocate the bill now befote the Legis luture increasing the pay of the chief and captains of the San Francisco police. An amendment was offered to this reso- lution advocating an_increase in the pay of the chief of the Fire Department to $6000, assistant chief $3000. secretary $3000 and district engineers 10 $2100. Both were carried unanimously. BURGLARS HAD IT THEIR OWN WAY They Looted the Scott-Street | Home of Samuel | J. Allen. Diamonds and a Quantity of Valuable Jewelry Was Secured. The Police Have Been Notifi d About Two Suspicious Characters Who May Have Done the Job, The residence of Samuel J. Allen, a weigher In the employ of Dunsmuir & Co., the greatcoal importers, was selected as a choice bit of houseliold to enter and plunder last Monday morning. This quiet little home is a six-room flat at 412 Scott street, within a few doors of Oak. Mrs. Allen and her daughter left their home on Saturday afternoon for a pro- tracted trip into the country. The hus- band and father would have followed in a few days but for the fact that he wds noti- fied by the police that the house had been plundered. He immediately recalled his family and they have been looking over the place ever since discovering the ab- sence of additional articles of value. The Allens’ flat is an upper one of a new style of building. The bathroom opens up both'on the back porch facing the East and into the kitchen through which admission is obtained by a sliding door. About 2 o’clock in the morning of Mon- day, the French maid of Mrs, Curry, who | hves in the lower flat, heard some noise lin tne story overhead. She knew that| | Mr. Allen’s family had gone away to the | country and she suspecied that burglars were at work. Her suspicion was strong enough to make her hide her face beneath the blankets and await results with fear and trembling. Monday afternoon she became courage- ousenongh to climb tne steps to the upper | flat, so as to hang up her washing, and | she discovered that the bathroom door leading into the flat had been broken into | by burglars, wuo had looted the place. | She immediately informed the lad in tne corner grocery-store, #ho in turn told all about it to the police. The iatter, there- fore, sre in search of the burglars, who are supposed 10 be Lwo *‘suspicious char- acters” wno have been loitering about the neighvorhood for the past ten days. The burglars managed to pick the two locks from the outside door to the kitchen. In the bedroom they secured a valuable pair of marine glasses, two choice razors, a diamond snirt stud, one cameo ring, a microscope and a lady’s diamond-studded vspider’ brooch. They were frightened awsy, no doubt, as they left several purses of coins, siiver and gold, that Mrs. Allen bad been collecting as souvenirs of her European travels. Other pieces of jewelry and the silverware were also overlooked. RAILROAD _ BUDKKEEPING Action on a Uniform System Temporarily Postponed by the Commission. Small Transpor at:on Lines Will Be «quired to Present Their Tar ff5 The Railroad Commission did nothing of vast importance or interest to the pub- lic at its regular meeting yesterday after- noon. | Communications were read by Secretary Newman from various railroads in regard to making a report of every tariff 1o the cemmission, and in regard to a uniform system of bookkeeping which, it was pro- posed, all the raflroads of the State shou'd adopt. The replies on these matters have been published and are in the biennial re- port recently distributed. As to tariffs, many small railroads and other transpor- tation companies of the State repiied, in brief, that they carried no passengers and no freight outside their own private bustaess, which business was, in most in- stances, stated to be that of logzing or lumberinz in their own camps, ar for their own mills, and that they had no tariffs of any nature to submit. he reading of these communications brou -ht out some discussion in regard to tariffs and charges made by stage lines and small steamboats on inland lakes. The opinion was expressed by Chairman La Rue and Commissioner Stanton that the small transportation companies of this kind also come within the province of the commission, and the result will be that the secretary will communicate with as many of them as he can find. The replies in regard to uniform book- keeping showed, with some few excep- tions, a general disposition to acquiesce and fall into line. Where sug.estions were made by the companies they were to the effect that the interstate commerce system be adopted. No action was taken. A communication dated Montreal, from the “Canadisn Inquiry Into Transporta- tion Charges on Farm Products,’”’ was read. It asked for the tariffs in this State on a variety of things from milk to hop })oles. The secretary will give what in- ormation he has. After the meeting adjourned Commis- sioner Stanton was asked concerning the bringing up before the board again of the commissioa’s right and duty under the constitution of proceeding to make an in- vestigation of rates and charges and ‘bonds on its own hook, under its constitu- tional authority. Nothing toward an in- dependent investigation will be done at present. e Populists on Bills.
