8 TWO BOARDS OF EDUCATION CHARGED WITH EXTRAVAGANCE Ex-President Hyde Accuses Them of Nepotism and Gross Jobbery. GRAVE CHARGES MADE. He Says Buildings Are Repaired and Places Made for Di- rectors’ Relatives. AUDITOR BRODEBICK SCORED. The Ex-School Director Makes a Sweep- ing Accusation That Funds Are Squandered. The controversy between the chairman of the Finance Committee of the present Board of Education and the chairman of the last board promises to assume far wider proportions than either one im- sgined at the outset. F.A. Hyde, ex- president of various boards of education, bas entered the arena to lodge grave accu- sations against the last two boards. He makes specific charges of great extrava- gance and nepotism. Mr. Hyde's contention is that the School Directors have no power to divide the scbool fund and that the Auditor has no right to withhod the paymentof any bilis approved by the Board of Education pro- vided the one-twelfth act is not violated. Speaking of Mr. Hyde's allegations in Thursday’s CaLL Auditor Broderick said last night: I am acting under legal advice, govern- ing myself by the statutes of 1871-72 and of 1875-76. According to my attorney’s views I have aright to respect the con- tract for the Mission High School and to refuse to touch any such funds as may have been set aside for that purpose. Ido not think Mr. Hyde’s opinion worth any- thing, for heis away off on the factsand the law.” Mr. Hyde, however, reiterates his accu- sations of extravagance and violation of tne law. “There is a striking object lesson in what the Board of Education did last night,” said Mr. Hyde yesterday. ‘“They had hardly warmed their chairs until they appointed an inspector for two yearsat $200 a month to inspect—nothing. They | pretend that heis to inspect the Mission High School. Whenever there is anything in sight to inspect it will be found that | the architect has been paid and hired to | do the inspecting. The truth is thisisa | fat job for somebody’s friend. This board promised wonders in the way of economy. What is it doing? It has dismissed no- body, cut short no expenses; but has be- gun to create fat places for its friends.” Continuing in the same strain Mr. Hyde said: The enormous increase in the expenses of department chargeable to the creation of uunecessary positions and the employment of unnecessery teachers is strikingly exemplified in the estimate of expenditures présented last evening 10 the Board of Education by the chairman of the Finance Committee. He esti- metes that for the first six months of this year the sum of $453,117 75 will be required for teachers’ salaries, which s at the rate of | $906,235 50 per annum. For the fiscal year 1893-94 the total sum expended for teachers’ saiaries amounted to $814,110 39. For the | cxving helf year during the administration of the same board the expenditure was $408,- 034 80. This would show an average teacher'ssalary | list of about $815,000 per snuum. Thus it | sppears that the last Board of Education in- | creased the salary list alone about$90,000 | persnnum. While there has been a gradual | increase in the expenses of the department from 1884-85 to the present time Lo such re- markable increase in any one administration bas heretofore been shown. The average | daily attendance of pupils in 1393-94was about 83,000. This attendance has been increased by ebout 1500. Such an attendance as that, scattered through the School Department, would necessitate the employment of but few, if any,additional teachers, for it never hap- pens that the classes are full. In factat a time when the minimum number for one class was placed at fifty the actusl average sttendance was only about forty-three, If every class in the department, however, had been full, and it were necessary to employ additional teachers for the 1500 additional pupils, only thirty additional teschers would have been required. As & matter of fact the actual number required would be nearer five, and yet there are in the department about seventy-five teachers more than there were three years ago, The sentiment of the Supervisors and of the people has been that $1,000,000 per annum was enough to conduct the schools; and, out of that, the Directors are obliged to apportion over $900,000 for selaries, leaving a littie over $90,000 per annum to pay all of the other | rTunning expenses, out of which about $40,000 is disbursed for janitors and others receiving fixed salaries. Mr. Hyde's indictment of extravagance refers to Buperintendent Babcock on the question of back salaries, and is as fol- lows: The law provides for a City board of ex- amination, who may examine applicants for teachers’ certificates and grant two grades of certificates—primary and grammar grade. The primary-grade teachers arc authorized to teach only in primary schools, and their maximum pay is considerably-less than that of & person holding a grammar-grade certifi. caie, notwithstanding that they may teach in the same classes. About the year 1887, while B. C. Stone was chairman of the Classification Committee, the Board of Education passed 8 rule allowing applicants for teachers’ certificates 1 per cent extra for each year of successful experience | in teacning, not exceeding 10. Shortly there. atter, the Board of Examiners, misunaerstand- ing the rule of the Board of Education, rec. ommended that several teachers, numbering | sbout twelve in all, should recsive various ex- | tra credits for experience, and added the | same to the credits whien they had previously received on their primary-grade certificates, | thereby making the aversge of 85 per cent | and, on the strength of that result, gave them grammar-grade certificates. The Board of Ed- uention,” later, discovered this error and an nulled the action by which these grammar- grade certificates had been granted. Miss Annie Hines, who was oue of the teach- ers who received a certificate in this manner, entered a suit against the Board of Education for the recovery of her grammar-grade certi- ficate, and also for the payment of back salary, the difference between the salary of & prim. ary-grade teacher and that of a grammar- grade teacner. Before the action in court was settled, however, Miss Hines entered an ex- amination and, in the proper manner, se- cured & grammar-grade certificate. The suit in court, notwithstanding, weut on to a final issue upon the question of salary only, and, during the last six months. it was decided oy Judge Murphy in favor of Miss Hines. During the time that the application was also while it was being considered by the Board of Education in 1887, and subse- quently, while the matter was being consid- ered in’ court before Judge Murphy, Superin- tendent Babcock always favored the side of Miss Hines as against the Board of Education; and it is supposed that it was largely through his influence and testimony that the court decided in her favor. The Superintendent, on various otcasions, both in the Board of Education and in the committeeof the wWhole of the board (which is simply s private meet- ing of the members) urged the Board of Edu- cation not to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, and also urged that the payment of the back salery, smounting to sbout $700, be made to her. The attorney for the Board of Education, William Grant, was strongly of the opinion that Judge Murphy erred in giving the judg- ment in favorof Miss Hines, and recommended the Board of Education to appeal the case. So sure was he of the accuracy of his position that he offered to bear all the expenses of car- rying the case (o the Supreme Court, and to charge no fee for his services; and, even fur- ther, he offered to pay the interest which had accrued by reason of the delay in paying the judgment; but the Board of Education refused to order the case appealea to the Supreme Courtand paid the judgment. Superintendent Babcock called the atten- tion of the Board of Education to the claims of Miss L. A.Orr and Miss E. L. Willamson and urged that they should be paid their back salaries on the ground that their claims were similar to that of Miss Hines. The amount of money involvea in these two claims is about $700 and $500 respectively. The Board of Education postponed cousideration of the recommendation of the Superintendent from time to time, buf finally, just before going out of office, these two claims were included in & report of the Committee of Finance, which re- port was not read in detail to the board, and the claims were allowed and ordered paid and sent to the Auditor for approval. So little was known sbout it that the Directors who had persistently opposed these claims from the be- ginning voted in favor thereof without know- ing what they were voting for. These claims sre now before the Auditor and not yet paid. Two of the three teachers referred to have since procured first-grade certificates, so that the decision affects them only in the matter of back pay, but the third holds s second- grade certificate, and the action oi the board will necessitate paying her about $12.a month exira in the future. Among other contracts the board made one with the Whittaker & Ray Company of this City to furnish all subscription books at speci- fied discounts. Among these books was the subscription edition of Webster's Dietionary. Ignoring this contract the Supply Committee purchased from some Eastern agent 100 copies of the dictionary for $10 80 each, amounting to $1080, the books were de- livered. Tocover up the transaction it was arranged that the bill should e divided into ten parts, and that, each month, a bill ior one-tenth of the whole should be presented to | the board. Payments have been made aud it is ex- pected that the new board will meet the bal, ance as they become due. When School Director McElroy came into office his daughter was a primary teacher in the department. Through his influence he had her elected to :he principalship of the Harrison Primary School, situated on Grove stieet, west of Larkin. The building wes an old, dilapidated structure, unfit for school purposes, not only by reason of defective con. struction, but because of 0ld age and lack of repairs. There is no necessily of maintaining # primary school in that locality. There was abundant seating room for all of the chilaren in that neighborhood in the surrounding schools ; but, instead of abolishing the school when the principalship became vacant, the board appointed Miss McElroy as principal; and McEiroy, as_chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, induced the board 10 order the building repaired, and over §5000 was spent on the school building and yards. The North Cosmopolitan School is ne of the old buildings and skould be torn down. A new building of the same capacity could be erected for about $30,000. The late Board of Education ordered repairs to be made whicn cost $17,000, without increasing the capacity of the school. The Webster School is situated in the rear of the Lincoin School building, ana consists of two buildings, poorly constructed. It was found about & year and a half ago that there was vacant class Toom in the surrounding schools, and that the pupils from the Webster School could be conveniently accommodated therein. School Director Henderson made & strong fight to have the Webster School abolished, and at least fiye directors were in favor thereof; but the majority prevailed and the school is stili running, while there is abundant room for the pupils in schools uear by. Something over a year ago the Directors made & great show of intention to abolish the Normal School. They said at that time that the school should be abolished at the end of the year. It was not abolished but was con- tinued, and one of the last actsof thelate board was the election of & so-called vice- principal. This was not only entirely unne- cessary, but 15 said to have been against the wishes of the principal. During the past two years an immense quantity of furniture and school supplies has been purchased from C. F.Weber & Co. It will be interesting to follow down the pur- chase and see what goods this firm sold the department during that time. About $1000 worth' of maps were recently bought of C. F. Weber & Co. They were pur- chased out of the Library Fund, depleting it 50 as to make it impossible for the teachers to get what library books they need. The board has usvally employed about thirty teachers, known as the substitute class. It is to this ciass that appointments are made. The board of 1893-94 made noappointments to that class, except as the result of competitive ex- sminations. The last board had & rule provia- ing for such examinations, but never made an sppojutment thereunder. All avpointments were mede under suspension of rules, and as & result of bargaining and trading among the members. On January 1, 1895, there were about 891 teachers employed. On the 1stof Junuary, 1897, the board had increased the number o about 956. On January 1,1895, there were 27 day-school substitutes on the payroli. On Jaunuary 1. 1897 there were 35 under pay and 6 not under pay, and about 8 unassigned teachers, making a total of about 50 day- school teachers in the department not in charge of clesses, besides 12 in the evening schools. The average number of teachers actually employed in the day schools, to do substitute work, is about 15, and in the even- ing schools the averaze number of substitutes actually at work is about 2. The following school bu:ldings are old and dtlapidated and should be torn down as fast as they can be replaced: Harrison, Longfellow, Marshall, Redding and Webster. Most of the money that is spent in repairing buildings goes into these schools. A good school build- ing uses very littie money for repairs during the year. Every new board that comesin makes a §trong showing of the amount thatis necessary for school repairs and instances these buildings. They ought not to be re- paired. The policy of the boara of 1893 and 1894 was to keep them in habitable order, Money that is spent on extensive repairsis thrown away. Mr. Hyde thinks there is more reckless extravagance, nepotism and jobbery in the scho Isof San Francisco than in any other department of the goverument. He say« matters are controlied by a political ring and that some people do not work at any visible occupation after they become School Directors. pending in the Board of Examination, snd HypNoTiC Inst., treatmt, teaching, 6 O'FarrellL* FORMS OF BLANKS USED BY COONEY Lees Succeeds in Introduc- ing a Big Batch of Dzeds. The Notary’s Name Appears in Print on All of the Ac- know’edgments. D:tectives Assert That Only in the Craven Documeats Was the Crocker C:rt ficate Used. The prosecution in the Cooney case scored a point yesterday, when it was ovened for the introduction of some forty documents acknowledged by Cooney, which the detectives have gathered dur- ing the past four months. These docu- ments were dragged into court to prove that the young notary was in the habit of using a notarial form with his printed name, instead of the general acknowledg- ments on the printed deeds. These papers and deeds cover the pericd beiween August, 1893, and December, 1894. They have been guthered from the four corners of the State, and if of no relevancy in the case, as Cooney’s attorneys con- tend, are at leasc evidence that the police have bestirred themselves to a consider- able extent in making the collection. These instruments include two made on the day preceding the date of the pencil deeds, while one of them, a conveyance by Joseph Enright of some property in the Mission to his wife, was acknowledged on the same day as the forms of the deeds would seem to have been signed. Now, in the case of the Euright deed Cooney used a biank about the size and shape of an ordinary bank check, with his name printed on it. In the majority of the acknowledements attached to the batch of instruments brought in by Lees and the District Attor- ney this particular form of blank was used. In the remainder a form somewhat larger in size was adopted. Cooney’s name, however, appears on it in type, and 1t was this very fact that caused the District Attorney to drag the documents into court. Arguing by inference the logic of the prosecution ran in this wis: On all deeds, with the exception of the documents of Mrs. Craven, Cooney used a notarial biank with his name printed on it. Ergo, is this not a strange and pecu- liar array o. facts? The fact that they bave deeds bearing a date later than that of the pencil will that Cooney acknowledged with forms contain- ing his printed name the detuctives cite as proof that he was not out of that par- ticular style of blanks on Septemver 27, 1894, They would go a step farther and suy that Cooney never used the general form of blanks on the Craven deeds in the course of his regular business. They say they have ransacked the State, from Shasta to Indio, and can find no aeeds or other documents acknowledged by Cooney with a general notaral biank. This might or might not be so, but the defen- dant maintained it could be of no earthly significance in his case. What more natural, asked Reddy, than that Cooney used two sets of blanks, as is the custom of every notary, and that when James G. Fair called on him to have the pencil deeds witnessed the notarial form that was first at hand was used? Cooney had admitted, said Reddy, that be fiad blanks with his name printed upon them. District Attorney Hosmer was tooth and nail for getting the result of the detectives’ work in the way of collecting Cooney acknowledgments into court and nave tbem duly scheduled as “exhibits” or something else in the famous case. It wasa theory of the prosecution, argued Hosmer, that Cooney never used such blanks as appear on the pencil deeds, but was accustomed to use what is known as an individual form. Attorney Reddy came back with his famous metaphor of the beefsieak and the turkey. Because Cooney had blanks with bis name printed upon them was no reason why be had not the general form of acknowledgment. Because he was in the kabit of using the individnal form in ably because on the preceding day it came to grief in the beefsteak and turkey logic. Reddy put Seymour through a some- what extended cross-exammation. The detective said that he had gained posses- sion of the Enright deed about Decem- ber 18. | “How did vou come to make inquiries | in this case?” asked Reddy. 1 was detailed by Captain Lees,” was the reply. “‘How long before the filing of the com- plaint against Cooney was this?”’ “I began work on the case September 27 last.” There was no charge then pending against Cooney?'” sir.”” “Then why were you investigating the case?”’ “As I understand the matter it was re- ported to Captain Lees. At any rate, Captain Lees detailed me on the case.” ““When you started out on your search you were, of course, informed what the object of tue police inquiry was?” Yes, sir.” State what this purpose was.”” “Well, on September 26 Captain Lees called me into his office and stated that the Craven deeds and will had been re- ported to him as forgeries, He said he had besn asked to investigate the matter and detailed me at once on the case.” “Did you receive any further -instruc- tions ?” ““Well, as Captain Lees was in charge of the case, I was in consultation with him ‘from time to time.’” ““Well, when did you include Cooney in your searches?"” “Well, as soon as the pencil will was dropped I turned my attention to the deeds.” “You kept a record of the various wills in the Fair case presented to the Probate couri?” “Well, I remember something about them.” ““You were informed that the Fair people believed themselves injured 2"’ “I was informed that the Fair heirs had made a complaint to Captain Lees.’” “Up to the time the pencil will was with- drawn you devoted your search to that document, you say—gathering evidence to prove that it Was a forgery?” “Yes, sir.” “After that what instructions did you receive from Captain Lees?” “He told me to try to collect all the deeds Cooney had acknowledged asa no- tary.” “You understood the purpose of that inquiry ?"" “Oh, yes—to find evidence to prove that the acknowledgments on the pencil deeds were false.” “You have produced here all those kinds of deeds?” “Oh, yes.” “You had two objects—one was to prove the falsity of the acknowledgments, and the other was to find evidence to convict Cooney of perjury ?” “That's correct.” “Now, asa public officer, what object had you in securing evidence to show that the deeds were not genuine?”’ ““Well, I suppose it was in anticipation that more people would be arrested if :his investigation continues.” *‘As a public officer, have you ever been requested to investigate the genuineness of a deed to property where the parties were not millionaires?” “I don’t think I have.” “‘Have you ever investigated deeds or a will where the parties were millionaires?"” *“This is the first one.” “You have never been asked before to ascertain if a will or deed was false or genuine?” “No, sir.” Captain Lees followed to increase the number of documents acknowledged by Cooney by seven mortgages. Butler Smith was called to show a deed Cooney had acknowledved for Lim on September 1894, Attorney Hugh J. Jones had a similar exnibit of the date of September 22, 1894, In each case Cooney bad used an individual blank, and they were all labeled in turn and turned over to the custody of the court clerk. & District Attorney Hosmer then at- tempted to get J. O. Jehsen to say that he bad printed these 1orms of blanks for Cooney, but the Magisirate threw the evi- dence out of cours. John F. Lyoas, who uumadfi Cooney as a notary, was called for the prosecution to say that he had fallen heir to a number of Cooney’s blanks, all of which were of the individual form. It transpired that Lyons has an office at 607 Montgomery street. He was appointed a notary first in 1884. For about two months previous to Cooney's retirement he had no office and had his notarial work aone by the latter. Cooney had taken a number of blanks to Lyons’ office for this work. When Lyons was finally reappointed he found about thirty of these forms in his desk, left there by Cooney. “These blanks had been taken by Cooney from his own office to yours to do your business for you?"’ “Yes, sir.” “And there were too many of them?'’ “Yes, I suppose s0.” “Youdon’t kriow what blanks Cooney left in his own office ?” “No, sir.” “Did Captain Lees ask you tnis ques- tion 7" “Yes, sir.” That was the end of the evidence along the line of what kind of blanks Cooney was accustomed to using. This morning Max Gumpel, the expert in handwriting, will be called to compare the defects in typography in the pencil will certificate with what is claimed to be similar flaws in the blank printed by Crocker & Co. on January 8, 1896. This will complete the case for the police on the preliminary hearing. They say they have much important evidence in reserve which they will not make public until the trial of Cooney, that is, of course, pro- viding that Magistrate Cook sees his way clear to hold 1he young attorney.

The greatest secrecy is being main- tained by the family relative to the burial. All that is known is that the funeral will take piace some time to-day.

Up at the brownstone mansion on the hill all inquiries of tender, solicitous friends meet with no response. The great oak doors, destitute of all badge of mourning, are hermetically sealed. This funeral, at which no friend may attend or even send a flower in loving remembrance, is in keeping with the oft- expressed desire of the deceased, and also in strict accordance with the views of her son and daughier. Only they and Rich- ard Follis, brother-in-law of Mrs. Flood, and James Follis and Miss Lillie ¥ollis, nephew and niece, will follow her remains to the grave. Mrs. Flood’s death was not altogether nexpected by her intimate friends, who have watched her health failing for the past year. Nevertheless her passing away with so little premonition was a great shock to them. Speculation is rife as to the disposition of the vast estate, but as yet no one is in a position to state just what disposal Mrs. Flood has made of her colossal fortune. e - NEW TO-DAY.
