PRODUCERS' ASS0CTA | A Professional Witness Ordered Into Custody on a Charge of Porjury. | Police Judge Low yesterday ordered George Brown into custody, cansing him | to be booked at the City Prison on a charge of perjure. Brown was a witness in the case of Charles 0. Downing, charged with assault with a deadly weapon on the person of Maurice Reardon, an ex-police officer. The testimony of several eye-witnesses | 10 the affair was that Downing hit Rear- don with a bottle, rendering bim uncon- scious for many hours, . The physicians at the Receiving Hospi- | tal testified that Reardon lay at death’s door for twelve hours. The 1 olice testified thatowing to the terrible injuries inflicted on Reardon, Downing was held a prisoner in the tanks awaiting thewresult of the sault.y In the face of a'l this testimony, George Brown swore that not only Downing had not struck Reardon fbut that the latter was unbarried and walked out of the saloon in which be {is supposed to have been struck. Judge Low believed the witness was de- The Handsome Mansion on Mission and Twelfth Streets Which May Be Utilized as a Clubhouse for Choir Boys. tand- Mission, for a home or club for the men and The choir corps attaghed to this chu ambers at the present time twenty-eight menand a similar number of boys mak- ng fifty-six in-ail, who use the basement or. Sunday-school gnarters of the church as their place of meetinz. These quarters are too small for the athletic exercise which the boys would like to enjoy if they had suflicient room in-which'to rig up their paraphernalia. in order to. provide them with suitable quar- ter: only for eymnasium sports, but also. billiards and teninis grounds, together with mental culture, there will be elegant Jiorary and reading rooms provided for the use of the men and boys belonging to the society. The pastor wiil make the quarters recently occupied by Dr.. Spalding his home, thus bringing himself into touch with the members in their studies and amusem All this, however, is problematical uitil Judge Slack gives his judicial c serit to the administrators of the Fair estate- leasing the premises to the Rev. Mr. Emery for a number of years, as this gentlem take the property on a monthly t will. He wants a lease, inasmuch as it is his intention to muke certain alterations in the old schoolroom and to beautify the grounds the building, besides and making and garden at laying out tennis-erounds otherimprovements. It he intention o1 the administrators of ‘the_ estate to apply to the Probate Conrt for permission to lease the premises asstated. This conclusion was decided upon at a meeting of the officers of the Choral Soclety, consisting of Rev. J. A. Emerr, president; Henry K. White, -vice-presi- dent and choirmaster; Edgar Cameron, sec- retary, and F. V. Daniels, treasurer, acting with the consent and approval of - the choir corps, which is anxious to get into the building. TO FIGHET THAT INCREASE.

Max Popper will leave for Sacramento this morning to take the field in. person against the adop- tion of the proposed legislation. Copfes of the resolutions recently adopted by the ciub have been mailed to all the ‘Assemblymen and - Senators. These resolutions are as-follows: WHEREAS, There are now peuding in_the Legisiature ceriain bills, the object of which is to ‘incresse- the salaries of many officials of the City and County of San Frencisco very largely over the amounts those. officials have received for many years past; ‘and whereas, it is & matier of common kuowledge that for some years pasi the profits of all Lines of busi- ness in BSan - Francisco -and throughout the State have stéadily diminisbed. that wagesin all occupations bave-fallen, that values of operty have greatly declined and that the burdens of toe. taxpayers have yearly become harder.to bear; therefore be it . bt we deem it unfortunate that Legisiature should “at this time consider ropositions 1o increase official salaries, ex- the salary of the Chief of the Fire Depart- d the present amouuts,-which d when this City and Siate were more prosperous” than .now, and_which amounts haye satisficd hose oficials for manuy years; and beit further Reso ved, That a copy of these resolutions be mailed by the secretary to evary member of the Legisiature, and that & commjtiee of ihree be appointed from ‘the clab to go to Sacra- mento, snould. it be necessary, to protest against the.passage of these billé; and we in- vite the cb-operation of all improvement clubs, ‘Merchants’ Association, etc., and they 10 appoint similar committes Resolved, THat we are in favor of the early cstapiishment of a full paid Fire Department r thisCity and County. b S 2E Fighting an Obnoxious Bill. ta recent: meeting of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Assoeiation the Boiler In- spector .bill now before the Legislature wa discussed and condemned as a cinch measure.

All Bids and Offers Are to Be| Sent Back to Those Who Made Them. The Board Also Deciares Against !hc, Use of Folsom Stone Upon the City Streets. | The Board of Supervisors yesterday re- scinded everything that was done by the old board relative to the award of the franchise to the Geary-street, Park and Ocean Railroad Compauy, and in a resolu- tion it was agreed ‘‘that all bids and offers for said franchise be returned to the persons to whom they respectively | belong.” The mover of the preamble and resolu- tion was Supervisor Rottanzi. .Tiere was | no opposition when the roll was cailed. The text upon which this action was taken is as follows: - WHEREAS, There is now pending and unde- termined before this board the matter of the application of the Geury-street, Park and ean Reilroad Company for a iranchise for | the right to construct and maintain and | operate, for the term of fiity years, s single or | aouble line of street railroad upon certain strects in the City and County ol San Fran- cisco, to wit: Commencing at the intersection of Geary strect with Market, and runniag | thence along and_upon Geary street to junc- | tion with Point Lobos avenue; thence along and upon Point Lobos avenue to Fifth avenue; thence along and upon Fifth aveuue to Golden Gate Park; and whereas the award of said franchise has been interdicted by an order of | the Superior Court in aud for the City and | County of San Francisco; and whereas, it is the sense and policy of this Board of Super- visors that no tranchise or priviiege skall be | awarded to renew either directly or indirectly | any existiog franchise or privilege unil the | | lapse or expiration of such iranchise or privi- lege, for (e reason that the offer of any fran. | chis before its expiration is destructive of | fair, open and public competition, and that e sule thereof would produce a revenue to | this municipality greatly disproportionate to 1ts value: now, therejore, be 1t Resolved, That this boatd take no further Action toward the award of the franchise ap- | plied for as aforesaid; that the resolution of | the Board of Supervisors of this City and County, passed aud adopted on the 29th day of June, 1896, aud numbered 1464934 (third | series), providing for the submission to public | compelition of said franchise, and all pro- | ceedings taken by the Board of Supervisors of | this City and County in pursuauce of said | resolution, be and they are hereby rescinded and repealed, and that all bids and offers for | said franchise be returned to persons to | whom they respectively belong. | Supervisor Rottanzi spoke briefly, de- i already been done. e velieved tuat to award the franchise before the old franchise has expired would be | unconstitutional, l Another matter of general interest came up. This was the following resolution, the adoution of which was moved by Super- | visor Britt: Resolved by the Honorable Board of Sup ervisors | of the City and _County of San Francisco, That we respectiully remonsirate against tue passage of any law wnich brings conviet labor into | competition with free w lebor. We re- cifully remonstrate against the passage of 80y measure providing for the crushing of rock at Folsom prison to be used for street or town or city | of the State. We objuct 1o this because there | are u large number ot our fellow-citizeas now cagaged in quarrying stone and preparing it for mucadamizing and concreting purposes in the various cities of tnis state, and thus sup- port their families, and such labor camnot compete with convict labor in that line. We do not cbjcct to the sale of rock by the State for county road purposes. This resolution was adopted, Supervisor Brit urging immediate action to aftect | legislation which may be had at Sacra- | mento soon in reference to this matter. | The customary resolution that the board should meetasa committee of the whole to consider the fixing of water rates was adopted upon motion of Super- visor Delaney. Supervisor Clinton also gave notice that ihe Water Committee would meet Wedesday afternoon in ref- erence to water rates. Dr. Clinton said | that the Water Committee would not in- terfere wiih the action of the board as a committee of the whole. he Commiitee on Licenses and Orders reported in favor of reducing the licenses | on cycleries, to place upon them the same figures as now apply to livery stables. | Among minor matters considered were | the following: Stephen J. Whelan and many others pe- titioned for the passage of an order to prohibit the opening of the rourth-street bridge be- | tween 6:30 and 7:30 A. 3. and between | and 6:30 P. X, and o require vessels passing | through the channel to be moved by steam power, and also asking lor repaics to the | briage suflicient to eaable it to make a com- | plete revolution. The Sunset Improvement Club_ requested the board 0 take action to_conrol the over- flow to Lake Honda; sewerage of the Alms. bouse, eic., on J street. The same club also | asked that all proceedings in contemplated | street work in sireets and avenucs south of | Golden Gate Park may be stopped, excepiing on Seven ih avenue, until a system of sewerage is provided, Nathan Crocker asked that an esily date be | set for the hearing of the petition o1 the asso- ciated improvement clubs for the abolishment | of the rattler lest. | The protest of the California State Labor Convention against allowing inmates of the Almshouse and City and County Hospital to work i and about these institutions without regular compensation as fixed by the trades unions was received. The California Acetylene Gas Company asked pormission 1o place generators iu the Crocker building. The Manhatian Athletic Associstion wes voted & free license for a_boxing tournament. | Justice of the Peace Kerrigan was given per- mission to leave the State for thirly days. It was voled 1o leave street lamps unlighted six days each month about the time of the full | moon. Resolutions were adopted inviting proposals | for a franchise tor a street railrond on Masonic | aveuue from Oak sireet to Page and on Clay- | ton from Frederick to Carl | it STREET IMPROVEMENTS. i Summary of the Week’s Work Acted on by the Board.

FIRE - DEPARTM ENT | | 1 ARTHUR JACKSON August Florentine’s Slayer Convicted of Man- slaughter. Prisoner’s Sister Fainted When . the Fateful Words Were Uttered. Sorrowful Scene in Julge Wallace's Court Upon the Rendering of the Jury’s Verdict. There was a painful scene in Judge Wal- lace’s court yesterday, when Arthur Jack- son, 19 yvears old, was declared guilty of manslsughter, for the killing of August Florentine on the 10th of last August, near the intersection of Fifteenth avenue and San Bruno road, in this City. Jackson made a stubborn defense and Attorney T. V. Eddy exhausted every legal expedient to clear his client. At a former trial in Judge Belcher’s court, the jury had failed to agree. When the jury re- tired for deliberation yesterday morning, the defendant and his counsel expressed hopes of a speedy acquittal. After the jury had been out for a couple of hours, Jackson’s friends arrived at the conclusion that there was to be another disagreement. The young man’s father and mother were present, as were also his three sis- ters, and they were bracing themselves by strong resolve to withstand the strain and 1atigure of another trial, which they feared was imminent, when the warning bell from ttre jury-room gave notice that the | jury had reached a verdict. ) - At once the twelve good men and true were escorted into court by Bailiff Curtis, and without formality Clerk Salomon read the verdict which consigns Arthur Jackson to stripes and a felon’s cell. Immediately wild shrieks filled the chamber of justice, and Miss Lena Jacl | son, one of the sisters of the prisoner, fell | in & swoon, while ner mother and | other sisters burst forth into hysterical her sobbing. The prisoner’s father, his face seamed with manly tears, sought to com- fort his dear ones, while overpowering grief at the law’s sentence seemed to crush him. Juadze Wallace quickly withdrew, as did also Deputy District Attorney Black, who | had conducted the prosecution. The curi- | ous onlookers were evicted by the officers | of the court and the members of that dis- | tracted family were left alone with their sorrow. It was an hour before the ladies were able to be removeq to their homes. Jackson pleaded self-defense, but this was discredited by the jury. The killing took place in Florentine’s saloon. Jack- son entered the place with two com- panionsand they conducted themselves in such a disorderly manner that Fiorentine ordered them from the premises and was shot by Jackson. The testimony for the the deceased snapped & pistol at Jackson and was shot before he could do so agail Judge Wallace's instructions to the jury were of unusual lenzth and his anaiysis of the law of the crime of murder was elaborate, “The I be said, “is tender of human life and will not sanction its taking wantoaly or without reason there- for. In order to make it seif-defense it must appear_that Jackson, when he fired the shot, had, or thougit he had, or, as a reasonable man, had grounds to think that he had, no reliable means of escape from the then present personal peril other than the means afforded him by the shooting of Fiorentine. In order toexcuse murder on the ground of seif-defense the slayer must use all the effective means he knows to be in his power to secure nis per- sonul safety. 1i he knows that retreat is practicable and will afford him such safety he must retreat.” The court lurther stated that when Florentine ordered Jackson and his com- panions to depart it was their duty to obey, and the fact that he resorted to menace did not absolve them from their duty to depart unless his conduct was such that they could not with salety de- part or retreat from the saloon, in whicn case they would have the right to defend themseives against the assault. Some of Jackson’s friends expressed dis- satisfaction. They thought that the ver- dict of mansiaughter must have been reached as the result of a compromise. If averdictof maurder had been given they would have regarded the chances for re- ver-al in the Supreme Court more favor- able. Tm;!x!mme penalty for the crime of mansifluehter is ten vears in the State and with good conduct this may e reduced to less than e years. Two Chinese Deported.
