Spreckels made the quickest run of the season so far from to Saa Francisco. She brought a cargo of sugar for the refinery, and as the wind was fair Captain Christensen took no chances but sailed in through the Golden Gate ana took his vessel up the bay “under a wrap,”’ but nevertheless at a speed that was fast enough to distance the Custom-house and quarantine boats and also the tugboats. Off the Oregon dock Captain Christensen took in sail and the tug Alert caught the brig and towed her to the refinery. While the J. D. Spreckeis was sailing up the bay the Piver, Aden, Goodall com- pany’s stern-wheel steamer Hope was drifting toward Angel Island, while the tug Millie was full speed in pursuit of her. The Hope stopped to pick up a whiteball boat that was adrift, and while waiting for the crew to get the craft aboard a log drifted paddle-wheel. When the signal to go ahead was given the paddle-wheel of course forced the log against the rudder and then there was trouble. The rudder was damaged to such an extent that the ‘captain lost all control of the vessel. He let ber swing until she was head on and then he kept her going at half speed until the tug came along and towed her . The Spreckels making twelve kuots an | hour up the bay and the steamer doing her best to stem’ the tide until assistance came made the only interesting scene witnessed on the bay vesterday.

The Eva went adritt, and her anchors only held when she-'was in striking distance of the Flintshire. The Anglesey also dragged, but her captain put out an extra anchor and she weathered the gale without any more trouble. At Folsom-street wharf the tide took command and the wind helped matters out.

Objects to Paying Half His Sal- ary to His Divorced | Wife. | Says Her Coaduct Ought fo Rei ve Him From This Extra Finan- | cial Burden. The old divorce case of Nannie Murdoch against William C. Murdoch came up in a vexatious form in Judge Slack’s court vesterday. It was an application by Mur- doch for custody of the minor son of the parties to the action, and for relief from the order of court which compels bhim to pay $125 a month alimony. In order to establish the jastice of his | application Mr. Murdoch offered to prove that Mrs. Mardoch is not a proper person to have the custody of the child, and that | her life is of such a character as woula entitle him to be relieved from the obliga- tion to pay her alimony. This presents a case never before considered by a court in Calitornia. Mr, and Mrs. Murdoch were married in Sutier County, this State, in 1881, and soon afterwarda removed to this City, where they still live. He is employed by a prominent financial institution at a salary of $200 a month. The divorce was granted to Mrs. Murdoch in this City on the 25th of February, 1895, on the ground of crueity, since which time he has been paying more than balf his salary to her. Attorneys James Alva Watt and W. C. Cross, representing Mrs. Murdoch, inter- posed a legal objection to the application for the stoppage of the alimony. They denied that their client had been guilty of any improper acts, yet they contended that even if this allegation were true it would not be a good reason for a diséon- tinuance of the alimony payments. In support of this position the gentle- men cited the cuse of Forrest againt For- rest. Mrs. Forrest secured a divorce from the eminent actor for some detinquency, and was accorded an order for alimony. Subsequently Forrest appeared and of- fered to prove that Mrs. Forrest had not Leen living according to society’s rules. The highest courts to which this case could be taken decided that this was not sufficient cause for relieving Forrest from paying alimony. Chickering, Thomas & Gregory,appearing for Mr. Murdoch, argued that the facts and the law in this case are not identical with the circumstances covered by the New York case, and insisted that their client ought to be relieved from his bur- den. Judge Slack promised to give a decision on Monday. If the decision goes against Mrs. Murdoch gshe will make a contest on the alleged facts of the case. This Week’s Town Talk. The individuals styled “false alarms” are sketched by the Saunterer's pen in Town Talk this week. The same caustic writer shows up the methods of street mashers and points out the fact that even the legal and ministerial professions are occasionally invaded by this undesirable class. The weddings of the weex, fancy dress party of the Entre Nous Cotilion, Nordica concerts, Modjeska’s return to the stage, stories by the siaff, graphology speci- mens, rousing editorials and a multitude of miscellaneous subjects constitute & highly pleasing number. * ‘Work for San Francisco.

He Says His Accuser Is a Poli- | tician Who Does Not Know the Facts School Direc'or Waller Charges That the Ex-Director’s Fizures Are Wrong and Misleading. The controversy set in motion by Attor- nev F. A. Hyde, ex-president of two | former school boards, bids fair to result in | a thorough Grand Jury investigation of matters pertaining to the School Dzpart- ment. Mr. Hyde attacks the present board and its predecessor with accusations of extray- | agance, nepotism and violation of the |law. He plainly states that the Board of Education is a band of political plunder- ers and says, furthermore: | “I thrown down the gauntlet and chal- | tenge them to deny my accusation. | may call mea crank, | | nd such men as but I care not for pamphleteers if they can- not combat my facts.” There is one among the accused who has decided to come back at ex-Director Hyde and fight him with his own weapons, and that man is Auditor Broderick, who has been charged with gross violation of the |law. He first said he did not care to enter | the lists as a combatant, but; became rest- less under ftire and consented to notice | Mr. Hyde’s charges. To a CALL reporter he said yesterday : | Idislike to enter into what might seem a discussion about my acts as & public offictal | with-those who are not in & public posigion and with whom I have no public dealing. Of course 1 do not mean by this that 1 object 10 | giving the utmost satisfaction to any citizen, Do matter who hie may be, if he desires io gndersiand the resson of any public act of mine. The discussion between Mr. Waller and Mr. Hawley might have been confined to them, but you insisted upon my figures asto the con- dition of the school fund, and now you are asking me what I have o 8ay as to what Mr. Hyde says about me and my figures. One of the most notable things in San Francisco political affairs is shown in_this requesi of yours. It is to be regretted that the press of 8an Francisco is so open, but perhups it an- swers a good purpose. Mr. Hyde at one time had a good deat to say 1n school maiters, but he is not so situated now as to be able to have a voice. To me 1t sometimes seems that when sensations are not at hana those who hold public office must allow themselves to be made subjects for sen- satfonal comment. Mr. Hyde's interview, to which you call my sttention, and on which | you request my viéws, has many things in it | that axe correct; but it has much in it calou- lated to mislead. It snould be borne in mind that we have not heard of Mr. Hyde in public school matters for some time, and I think he gels into & suspicious position when he at- tempts to knock the heads of Hawley, Waller and myself together, a8 he does in the first paragraph. Mr. Hyde is wrong in saying that the $200,000 is set aside &s & separate fund. Tt 15 but @ segregation or part of a fund set aside for a speciiic purpose wnd must of ne- gessity bo applied to that purposs If meeded. The Board of Supervisors las law enough for doing this in the ordinance passed by them as | to appropriations and their uses. They have | ordered and published an allowance of $1,- | 000,000 for school purposes and $200,000 for | tue'Mission High School. That is iaw enough for an honest Board of Education and an Audi- tor that will act under its spirit. In the second paragraph of il interview in TiE Cav Mr. Hyde is right about the tosch- ers’ salary or halfsslary retained, but he is sadly wrong in sll else he says about the de- mands I held out rom parties this month, be- cause of tho overdraft of $18,000 that was caused by the auditing of thé teachers’ De- cember salaries in full. Mr. Hyde does not view the question from the right standpoint. He is an ex-School Director, not the Auditor, and therefore is under no respousibility that might call for his spectacles, The reference in the third paragraph to the last board is & little severe, but perhaps he is right. He says: "“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 Educa- tion, provided the one-tweilth act is not vio. lated.” Of course I have been Auditor for some time without any assistance from Mr. Hyde or politicians of hLis class, and he speaks from personal experience on this subjact, for he tested my powers on bills allowed by tho Board of Education very fully when he was president. I successiully refused to auait sev- eral, however, to his displeasure and vexation, and’ my action was sustained by Iaw an court decfsions. The teachers, I think, can collect thelr back salarics i1 they place themselves on record ight; bui they must tnke no chances on the advice of enthusiasts. I beg leave to differ from Mr. Hyde in his placing contractors and others wno may have claims against the school fund, based upon_the diser etion or or- ders of members of the board, in the posiiion teachiers hold, Ifsuch partics find thomsolyes tangled up in the meshes of the constitution and one-twelfth act the result will not be pleasant. It Is not long since a Board of Supervisors made contracts and ordered ma- torfal, supplies and labor equal to about nine- twelfths o They | 0'Conuor may issue circalars agamnst me, | P a fiscal year appropriation before | they retired from office and San Francisco has ever since been scandalized ail over the world as “‘bad pay.”” 1f those Supervisors had been a little more careful to respect their pledges and their oaths of office, and if they had confined their action to the requirements of their terms of office, it would have been far better for many good people who now hold claims and demands allowed by said Board of Supervisors. They are not worth the paper on which they are printed. Had they placed the responsibility where it belongs (on_the board instead of on the City) they might haye received something. The retiring Boara of Education has been guilty of & like indiscretion, and this has caused the trouble that brings Mr. Hyde from his seelusion. The reference to the Board of Supervisors’ sporopriation of §200,000 for a High School is rather hazy. It imvlies that if the Board of Education saw fit to use it for uometmns else there is no law against it, and if they di use it for other purposes they need not buildza High School. Of course not. How.could they? That would be a downright dishonest trick upon the taxpayer, however, if 1t were pos- | stble to use the money for its appropriate pur- pose. | " In'the caso at fssue_the situation isall sup- | posed to be settled. The lot hes been bought, | though somewhat larger than needed. Con' tracts have been entered into and bonds given for the construction’of the school building, at & cost equal to the amount appropriated. It these contracts be valid and legaily made it would be the sheerest nonsense to include the $200,000 thus appropriated and pledged in the estimate made of the amountof money availing under the one-twelfth act. I there- fore do not include it in any calculations as to supplies, salaries, etc. It does not fit there. The coitracts were made by the retiring Dboard. Ti money be not retained or transferred | from other funds and carried over into the | next fiscal year to meet these contract obliga- tions whex the work is completed, the con- tractors will be losers to the amount of deficit, and no levy of tax can be made for the pur- pose of paying them. The constitution, the oue-twelith act and supreme decisions make that dead sure and certain. School Directer Waller said yesterday in reference to the averments of ex-School Director Hyde: We are compelled by the law to appoint some one to watch and superintend the work upon the Mission High School. That is pro- vided for by the ‘Act to regulate the erection of public buildings and structures.’ That act | sets up that the Board of £ducation must ap- polut some one to superintend to see that the lans and specifications are carried out. School Director Hyde does not seemingly upon_several other propositions. The archi- tect has only to see that the architectural plans are carried out. He is not Tequirea to put in all his time while the building is under construction to watch the materials used snd soon. Butsome one must do that. The work of buiding has begun. Theretore. Mr. Hyde is agnin mistaken in saying that there is noth- ing to inspect. The grading has been done and on the site of the buildimg. The original reso- lution provided for a saiary of $250, but we cut down the price to $200. The old board contracted for the work. We want only to see that it is done right. Mr. Hyde does not take accountof the regular increace in snlaries paid teachers after they have served ten years. This increase amounts to £6000 or §7000. I have introduced resolu- tions in the board that have been sidetracked, but if they were adopted, they would mean a saving to the department of $32,148 before the first day ot next July. 1 have a resolution before the board to ap- portion the balance of the fund for the fiscal year, 50 that a saving of $21,000 can be made in six months’ time. The figures will show this to be so by comparison with the apportinment of the oid_ board. Here is my apportionment in s nutshell, for the six months’ allowance: Old Present Committees— i e ) Finance.. $12.000 86,000 Buildings 8000 8,000 i 800 900 750 indigent children. 00 600 This hes bevn siletracked, but I shall call the matter up again. Dispensing with several teachers would havs saved $1150 per month or $6900 in six months. That has also been sidetracked. The board would not face the issue. Then the proposition to do away with fifteen substitute teachers, to save $600 per month, has siso been kuocked out. The sum of $648 has also been saved by the refi of the Finance Committee of the board to audit the bil ENDED THEIR OWN LIVES. Coroner Hawkins Kept Busy Holding Inguests in Suicide Cases. Coroner Hawkins held several inquests yesterday, most of which were cases where the subjects had taken upon themselves the responsibility of ending their own lives. Mary Thiery of 828 Howard street ended her life on the 24th inst. by the uss of a revolver. A verdict of suicide was re- turned. A verdict of suicide was given in the case of H. H. Griesbach, who lived at the Cosmopolitan Hotel on Fifth street. De- ceased was a native of Germany, 50 years of age and a solicitor by occupation. On January 23 be was found on Stanford Heights, near the Corbett road, with a bullet-hole in his head. His revolver ly- ing near at hand told the tale. gn January 22 Richard Binder, a native of Germany, 44 years of age, living at 221 Lexington avenue, went to 624 California street and turned on the gas. Suicide was the judgment of the jury. t The evidence in the cases of William L. Blake and William J. Bnckl:{ the paint- ers who were killed by falling trom a building on Stevenson street near Third, caused the jury to believe that their deaths were accidental and due to their own carelessness. Blake lived at 194 Har- rison avenue and Buckley at 1307 Broad- way, Oakland, Both had families. On the 26th_inst. the body of Abigail E, Perrine of 1212 West street, Oakland, was recovered from the fooi of Clay street, Ban Francisco. A verdict of suicide caused by despondency was rendered. Suicide was the verdict given in the case ot Robert 8. Harris, the student who blew his brains out with a revolver on the 22d inst.

An Enthusiastic Gathering in Honor of Scotland’s Noble Poet. : His Memory Lives Again in Prose and Music on His Birthday Anniversary. The one hundred and thirty - eighth anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns was celebrated last evening by the members of the St. Andrew’s So- ciety and their friends with literary and musical exercises as well as a dance. In his introductory address President Andrew Wilkie spoke of the cosmopolitan nature of the assemblage, and he hailed this fact with delight that while the Scotchmen were not less in number in the society’s gatherings, still, the attendance was not distinctively Scotch. In alluding to the proposed monument to Robert Burns for Golden Gate Park, President Wilkie outlined the attitude of the St. Andrew’s Society. *Itis purely a benevolent society,”” he said, “and funds cannot be diverted for any other purpose. “Individually, I dare say that we are il in accord with the worthy object. Asa matter of fact, most of the prominent members of our society are also members of the Caledonian Club, which organiza- tion is assisting the good cause along. It can therefore be understood that if we are not in the movement as a body we cer- tnilnly arein it heart and soul as individ- uals.” Robert B. Scott delivered an address on Robert Burns, excerpts of which were as follows: ‘It is now 138 years ago since the wife of a Scottish peasant was made happy by the birth of her first burn, with clouds of glory, of inspiration and of po- etry circling his head, and wno was des- tined thereafter to be known to his coun- try and to the whole world as Robert Burns, cne of the few immortal names that was not born to die, “Shortly before Burns’ death he said to his wife: ‘I'li be more respected 100 years after my death than 1 am to-day.’ Burns’ prophecy has been realized more than he | himself or his warmest admirers ever an- ticipated. His fame has gone beyond his own country and become universal. His songs are quoted from the pulpit and the forum. “Monuments of enduring granite and bronze have been erected to his memory in his own land, in Engiand and in Amer- ica, Australia and New Zealand, and it should not be long before « monnment is raised in Golden Gate Park to the plow- man poet, one that will be a fitting trib- ute to his memory and an embelli-iment and honor to the great city by the sea. “Burns, with his noble and independent spirit, was truly one of earth’s chosan heroes. who stood alone for humanity and for righteousness. As he said himself he was no saint and he had a whole lot of foibles and sins to answer for. ‘Butif I could,’ he said, ‘and 1 believe I do as far as I can, I would wipe all tears from all eyes.’ ‘‘We are thankful,” added the speaker, “that he was no saint, though he was one NEW TO-DAY.
