It was found that both bullets had pierced the heart. The punctures were about two inches apart and either would have caused almost in- stantdeath. The inguest will be held to- dav. Detective Charles Cody was detailed on the case last night. He went to the hos- pital and had a talk with Dougherty, but coud notget him to make any statement | beyond the fact that he did the shooting and was sorry for it.

HENRY SULLIVAN, Who Was Killed by Policeman Dougherty. ever slight. ber 16, 1892. Why such a man should have shot down 2 companion in such a deliberate and ap- parently cold-blooded manner is what is puzzling the police authorities. As faras can be learned there was no old grudge between Dougherty and Sulli- van, and those who knew them both say they were always on friendly terms, Dougherty was suspended by the Chief yesterday morning and a charge of mur- der was booked against him. His case was called in Judge Campbell's court and He was delirious He joined the force Septem- later he was resting easier. Thé surgeons express the opinion that he will recover. He s to bé suffering the pangs of re. morse and refuses steadily to disc the shooting except to say that he s to blame in the matter. James Boyle, who was with Dougherty and Sallivan at the time of the shoolink and was' detained as a witness, as he re- fused to talk, made the following state- ment yesterday morning: I live on Twenty-second and Maryland streets, Potrero.

The State Floral Society to Contribute. Native Sons. In connectiou with the floral show to be given during carnival week by the Cali- fornia State Floral Society, > direction of Professor Emory E. Smith, an exhibit of the live birds of the Pacific Coast is now being arranged. This is the first time an a:tempt of this kind bas been made in this City. Members of the joint committee of Naiive Sons and Native Daughters are making excellent progress with their arrangem-nts for California day, Tuesday, May 4. They had a long conference with the carnival committee yesterday, and marniy novel ideas were suggested. The parade, which will open the festivities in the morning, promises to exceed in point of numbers ap7 that has been held here. For the afternoon the arrangements are not yet complete. The grand ball at the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion which wiil close the festivities h received the indorsement of all the pal lors of both orders in the City. No de- cision has been reached as to its character, although many favor a fancy-dress affair, masks to be rigidly excluded. A com- mittee of thie Native Daughters, consist- ing of Mrs. Lena B. Mills, Miss Annie Donaldson and Mrs. Perkins, has been appointed to prepare tableaux for pre- sentation during the evening. The faculty of the University of Cali- fornia has granted the students a holiday on Monday, May 3, and on Friday after- noon, May 7, that they may participate in the carnival. Professor Newcomer of Sianford University has informed the car- nival committee that exercises will be arranged at Stanford so that the students of that university may meet with their rivals in the carnival festivities, T~y under the| | created at a salary of $3000, and Ca; | Lees will now be known as Chief of De- | | teetives Lees.

Passage of the Pension and Salary Bill's Taken as a Ccmpliment., The Chief Says He Will Not Tender His Resignation Just at Present. The information received trom Sacra- mento yesterday that the Governor had | signed the bill increasing the salaries of certain officials of the Police Department gave great satisfaction to those directly | interested. The bill, which takes effect immedi- ately, increases the salary of the Chief to $5000. The office of chief of detectives is | captains—Wittman, Spillane, Gillen, Dun- | levy and Robinson—Property Clerk | Moran and Clerk Healey are increased | to $2500 each, and the salary of each of the fifteen detectives to $1800. The total in- crease per month of ail the salaries is $966 68. Tue lieutenants, five in number, are not included in tbe Bitl, because the office was | created by the Board of Supervisors. They draw a salary of $140 per month, and as their duties are of a responsible nature 1t is felt that it would be only in the sense of justice that thelr salaries should be in- creased by the Board of Supervisors. The question of the retirement of Chief | Crowley, now that the amendment to the | pension bill covering his cese and the | salary bill have been approved by the | Governor, has again cropped up. | Last year shortly after the death of his son the Chiei tendered his resignation. It was pointed out to bim that the pen- sion act calied for twenty years’ consecu- tive service in the depirtment, and as there haa been a break in nis twenty-three years of service he wouid not be entitlea to his pension if he insisted upon the mc- ceptance of his resignation. Acting upon the advice of the Police Commissioners the Chief withdrew his resignation. The Chief felt gratified yesterday when he learned that the salary bill had been signed by the Governor, as he considered it was a deserved compliment to the de- partment. % “The salaries of the captains,” said the Chief, “were utterly inadequate, and were very much lower than in any other city on the continent. Iam very much plea-ed that the Legislature has increased them to a fair amount. ©“As to my retirement [ have no inten- tion of doing so just at present. Iam now placed in the position that I can re- tire when I like, and circumstances will guide me as to when that shall be, It will not be just at present anyhow, and that is all I can say.” The pension bill enacts that any mem- ber of the department aiter Servin twenty years and having attained the age of 60 years or overcan retire on half pay according to the rank held by him for not Jess than one year prior to_the acceptance of his resignation by the Police Commis- sioners. That is to say to secure the half pay of acaptain there must bave been at least one year's service in tnat capacity. This does not apply to the Chief, as he has beld no other position, but it i thought that he will yet serve for at least one year under the increased salary, so as to do away with any cause for criti- cism. | receipts up to 4 o’clock stood as follows: CHINESE HELP THE UNEMPLOYED They Contribute Liberally With Money and Pro- visions. The Boatd of Supervisors Again Considers the Sutro Deed. The Wheelm:n's Committee Will Soon Open an Active Canvass for Subscriptions. The unemployed exploited a portion of Chinatown yesterday in response to a special invitation from several of the leading Mongolian merchants, and were substantially rewarded for their trouble by receiving a wagon-load of vro- visions, a quantity of clothing and about $50 in cash. At least 150 men were in line in front of the wagon and among the vanguard was the standard-bearer with a banner in- scribed to the following effectin Chinese characters: There are in this City 10,000 unemployed men, hungry, destitute, almost driven to desperation. The white merchants have, in & measure, acted liberally, but cannot meet every requirement, hence we are compelled to apply to you folk. The reception accorded the unemployed by the denizens of Chinatown was most hospitable. Few refusals were encount- ered and in many cases the contributions were entirely unsolicited. Small coins were thrown from the windows of the upper stories by men, women and chil- dren and occasionaily a _passer-by would rush up to the line and drop 25 cents, 50 cents or adollar into the offertory-box. A partial list of the donations in cash and kind is as follows: Wing Sing Loong, 615 Dupont street, one bag of flour; Lung Yo Company, 716 Dupont sireet, 4 pounds of tea; Hop Wo Company, 751 Clay sireet, 4 bags flour; Ching King, 50 cents; Choo Foo, 25 cents; Mong Fook Tong, 25 cents; Sun Sing Lee, 721 Jackson street, & hogs' heads; Cook Oy Guyzie, $2; Him Lin, 25 cents; Ly Kee, 25 cenis; Lee Kee, 25 cents; Tin Wa Company, rice; sewiug-machine co pany, Stockton street, 25 cents; Amer: cigar company, 50 cents; Kwang Sing & Co., 719 Sacramento street, #1; Sing Wo Cuuug, 708 Dupont street, 23 cents; Chinese Mer- chants’ Association, 7 sacks rice; Ong Wing Lung, 716 Commercial street, 50 cents; B.

Several of the citizens’ district and special committees were out again yes- terday, and the result of their activity was speedily apparent in the shape of more than $700 additional in the sands of Daniel Mever.

Mr. 8barboro, the chairman of the wine- makers’ and wine-dealers’ committee, has also collected nearly $300, which will be turned in to-day, and tue special com- mistee on banks should experience no difficulty in raising more than $1000. A definite move was taken yesterday afternoon toward securing the co-opera- tion of the City wheelmen, attached and otherwise, in the bonlevard provosal. Ex-Mayor Ellert, who originally made the suggestion, had a conference with Judge Kerrigan, chief consul of the League of American Wheelmen, and Charles A. Adams, for the purpose of de- a plan of action. Mr. Ellert’s idea is that subscription lixts should be left at the various bicycle clubs and cycleries of the City, and he has sugeested tnat a verbal appeal to the wheelnen and wheels women who patronize the park when ihe weatner is fine might be made some Sun. day afternoon by somebody who is well known and popular among the fraternity. The league is also considering another project, further particulars about which will appear later, whereby both the league and the unemployea may be benefitei.

The question of the Sutro right-of-way deed was again ‘before the Board of Super- visors vesterday afternoon. Reuben Lloyd, Mr. Sutro’s attorney, assured the board that Mr. Sutro was anxious to ex- pedite matters as much as possible, but that he felt compelled to obtain some guarantee that concessions on his part would pot immediately expose him to ruinous expense. Mr. Lloyd pointed out that his client had expended nearly all his ready money on his_electric railway and out at the cliff and that a prospective de- mand for, say $100,000, in the way of 1m- provements on his portion of the boule- vard was something he was not prepared to face. Mr. Sutro, however, has expressed him- self willing to g1vo a deed Of the right of way and place it in escrow for three years, The question will be further discussed be- fore the Street Committee this morning at 10 o’clock. In the opinion of one of the members of the Citizens’ Executive Committee it is not absolutely nece-sary for the committee to await the outcome of this complication before commencing work. The men, he thinke, might start at the present boule- vard terminus and continue it therefrom until Mr. Sutro and the City have arrived at atdefinite agreement.
