An important action at law for the set- tlement of the affairs of the well-known Crooks estate nas been begun in the Superior Court by M. C. Hassett, attorney for Samuel R. Crooks, the amount in- volved being nearly $1,000,000. It is in all respects a friendly suit intended to deter- mine the rights of heirsand ciaimants to the Crooks estate.

Opposes the Appointment of a Deputy District At torney. He Says That There Will Be No Money on Hand With Which to Pro- viie a Salary. Mayor Phelan at the last regular meet- ing of the Board of Supervisors spoke in opvosition to the proposition made for an ussistant to District Attorney Barnes. He stated some of his reasons for his opposi- tion. He has now prepared a letter set- ting forth his views more fully, which is as follows: It 1s proposed to elect a Deputy District Attorney at asalary of $250 a month,and I desire to communicate certain information upon this subject for yourguidence. First, under act of March 2, 1891, the District Attor- ney has power 1o appoint three deputies,s chief clerk and two assistant clerks, which compose his statutory staff, and which I be- lieve 1o be sufficient for the proper conduct of his office. In August, 1895, che District Attor- ney asked the Board of Supervisors for an as- sistant in the prosecution of criminal cases, because of the Durrant trial, and W. 8, [inkle was appointed. Since then the board has passed seven resolutions extending the em- loyment of Mr. Hink'e, generally for three or our months nt a time. The last resolution was adopted January 2, 1897, permitting him- toretain his position unil February 1, 1897, when his employment ceased. The Board of Supervisors, in giving adai- tional assistance to the District Attorney, is supposed to be acting under the iaw of May 1, 1861, which confers power upon the Board of Supervisors “to allow and order paid out of tne general funa not to exceed the sum of $5000 in any one fiscal vear for the employ- ment of special counsel.” The object of this act was to enable the Board of Supervisors to employ special conusel in civil cases where the interests of the City demanded such em- ployment, and that has been the practice up To'the time of the request made by the District Attorney, who asked that counsel be allowed for the prosecution of criminal cases. For the fiscal year ending June next the following sums have alrcady been paid out and contracted for; which vou will see ex- hausts the appropriation of $5000: Mr. Hinkle, Assistant District Attorney, seven months ut $350.

Dharmapala, the Buddnist monk, delivered a lecture a Stites Hall, in Berkeley, at the invitation of the Uni- tarian congregation, Friday evening, his subject being “The Reconciliation Be- tween Christianity and Buddhism.”” He gave a brief and very lucid exposition of Buddbism, showing the poinis of resem- blance between the two religious, narticu- larly in the ethical teachings. He said he thought that many of the Buddhistic ten- ets were specially adapted for the Oriental people and their nature, and that the true work of missionaries would be to try and amalgamate Buddhism and -Christianit on the basis of universal brotherhood. The lecture was lisiened to with great at- tention by a large audience. Last night Rev. 3ir. Dharmapala lec- tured in San Jose for the Unitarians, and to-night he will give his second lecture in Native Sons’ Hall at 8 o’clock, the subject being “Buddhistic and Brahminical Tran- scendental Science.”” Rev. Mr. Dharmapala is the guest of Luman Wadham ai 1909 Leavenworth street. B e oe— CRIMINALS SENTENOQED. Judge Dunne’s Dock Was Crowded With Culprits Yesterday, Judge Frank H. Dunne held a well- attended levee in Department 11 of the Superior Court yesterday. The dock was filled with criminals and the courtroom was crowded with the usual number of sympathizers and spectators. It was noted that there were thirteen in the prisoners’ dock, which, Clerk Martin seriously re- marked, was am unlucky number. The prisoners probably concurred. Neal Nicholson was convicted of burg lary in the first degree for raiding an un- dertaker’s shop at night, and was sen- tenced to three years at hard labor in the State Prison at Folsom. It was fortunate for Nicholson that he chose a business place instead of a private residence as the scene of his depredations, as the courts deal more sternly with criminals wuo in- vade the homes of citizens than with those who enter empty nouses, where there 13 little danger of murder resulting from the attempt to plunder the premises. Michael Enright, convicted of grand larceny, was sentenced 10 San Quentin for two years. Pairick O'Mally was fined $100 fur hitting & policeman on the head with a club. Emmett Brennan, who was also found gnilty of grand larceny, had his sentence postponed until the 13th 1nst. Frank Carnivali is a fugitive from jus- tice. He is charged with assault to Kev. murder. Herman Cohn, charged with stabbing Petronia Quinores on the 17th of last January, pieaded not guilty to the charge of assault to murder and will be tried on the 16th inst. Nine other culprits of ereater or lesser degree also had their cases aitended to, dates of trial set and motions for reduc- tions of bail and the like heard and deter- mined. Judge Dunne’s calendar is getting in a | better condition than it ‘has been fora long time. Trials are expedited as 1auch as possible, having due regard to the in- terests of the community and the rights of the defendants. - The Labor Convention. The California Labor Convention will not hold its regular meeting until next Suncay, March 14.

Constitutional Amendments Re- lating to Special Meetings. Librarian’s Report Shows the Insti- tute to Be in a Very Flour- ishing Conditicn. The annual meeting of the Mechanics’ Institute called out an unusually large number of members last evening. In his retiring address President Ernst Denicke told of the progress of the organisation during the past year, and predicted much prosperity for the institute should the members work in harmony and for the best interests of the institution. He a vised against the sale of the Meshanics' Pavilion for some time to come, and recommended that the secretafy be also appointed as superintendent with general supervision over the library. It was announced that on Monday the first number of the Mechanics’ Library Bulletin would be published. This peri- odical will appear monthiy and will give information as to the new books received, notices of meetings and other matters of interest to the members. The report of the librarian was submitted, showing that 941 members, including 7 life members, joined the institute during the year. ]l'harc are 73,645 volumes in the library. The total expenditures in that department were $624251 for the year. During 304 days there were issued for home use 166.- 971 volumes, being a dally average of 564. Classes have veen well attended and ihe leciures have been interesting. An amendment to the constitution pro- viding that a majority of the board of trustees or twenty-five members in good standing may call special meetinss on three days’ notice having been given was adopted. An amendment substituting the tralian ballot system for the one now in use in the election of trustees was voted down. Ex-President Hallidie was elected to honorary membership by a rising vote. A complimentary vote was passed in acknowledgment of services of James H. Culver. The judges of election then announced NEW TO-DAY] Tea sold loose gets stale.
