Inspector Dockery denies that the dis- tilled corn spirits, water and brandy were under bonds at the time he tapped the There were no Government stamps whatever on them, and in facta man came into the car with a handful of stamps while Dockery was twisting the auger and attempted to place them on the barrels, but Dockery would not allow him to do so. The Food Inspector says that he was acting unaer legal advice, to the effect that the health laws of the City and | County of 8an Francisco were enforceable everywhere within the limits, except upon ground owned by the United States, and that the only places within the City and County where his jurisdiction would not prevail would be the Central Post- office, the Apprasers’ building, the new Postoffice site and the Presidio reserva- tion. The Manufacturers’ Association and the | Pare Food Committee are very much stirred up over the matter and are deter- mined that the stuff shall not be ex- ported to cause the ruin of the reputation of California brandy.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer Orizaba arrived late last night after a spicy voyage of twelve days from Guaymas, Mexico, and way ports. The steamer carried 8 large number of passencers, among them two ship- wrecked mariners, Captain Pickens and one of the crew of the little fishing schooner Ida of San Diego, which was wrecked on the' rock-bound coast of Cedros Isiand several weeks ago. “On May 19th.’’ said Captain wvon Helms of the Orizaba in his report to the Merchants' Exchange, “‘while passing Low Point, north end of Cedros Island, the shio was hailed by a boat containing Dr. F. G. Powers, who is tbe keeper of mining property at Low Point, and three men, Captain John Pickens and his two seamen. We took Captain Pickens and one of his sea- men aboard, the other sailor preferring to remain on the island to keep Dr. Powers and his motber, who were the only in- babitants of the island, company. “On the trip Captain Pickens told the story of the wrecking of bhis little craft, The Ida was cruising in the vicinity of Cedros Isiand, where the fishing is good, when suddenly a squall came up and the schooner capsized. The captain and crew were hurled into the water and for a time struggled d |FEATURES OF ANOTHER BIG WILL CONTEST. In his life no man was more adverse to notoriety and noise than Jacob Z. Davis. A plain man, as the word goes, he pursued the even tenor of his way, ac- cumuiating and acquiring, and as far as his personal wishes weut, he might have lived a century and never been known or heard of outside the circle of his rela- tives and immediate business associates. But with his death all was changed.

U #LL W0 SPECIAL SALE OF" CHOIC DRESS PATTERNS! 46-INCH NOVELTY CHECKS, Two-Toned Ef- The Mayor Sides With the Complaining Metal- Roofers. Declares He Will Not Sign De- mands for Pay for the Work. Broderick ¢nd Creswell Stand to Their Guns—An Investigation to Be Held. The members of the City Hall Commis- sion—Mayor Phelan, Auditor Broderick and City and County Attorney Creswell— had their first fight over City Hall con- struction matters yesterday and for a time the discussion threatened to become acri- monious. Some time ago a committee of metal- roofers calied on the Mayor and repre- sented that the roof was not being con- structed in a proper manner or according to specificatious, and asked that he make an investigation. He looked into the con- tracts and later stated that there was nothing to base the compluints on. Later, however, he sent a metal-roofer as an expert to examine the roof as to its capability of resisting the sun and rain. This person reported that the cement that covers the corrugated iron is certain to crack under the hot sun of summer, and that leaks will follow, because the specifi- cations for the gutters have been so changed that the channels will not catch the leakage, but will permit it to seep into the walls and thus into tae building. When the Commissioners met yester- day the Mayor was primed with the re- port, and when a committee of the metal- roofers made a vrotest against the work going on he backed them up. Engineer Mellis denied the statements of the men that the roof was not being constructed according to specifications, but their complaint was championed by the Mayor, who said that if the plans were not arranged so as to insure a roof that would not leak he would refuse to sign de- mands for payment of the work. [ am inclined to give credence to the statements made by these men,” said the Mayor. “They are dissatisfied workmen, and are, of course, desirous of bringing to light all defective work that is being done on the roof. For the purpose of satisfying myself I have called in experts to aid me in my investigations, and they have cor- roborated the statements of the mechan- ics. The roof is being constructed of con- crete laid on a flexible iron frame, and it will surely shrink and crack, and the cop- per gutterings having been eliminated, the rain will not be carried away. Now, in view of these facts, I desire to say that 1intend to place the responsibility upon the gentlemen of this commission who awarded the contract, and I will not sign demands for payments under the contract until it can be demonstrated that we are heving a root built that will not leak. Then Commissioners Broderick and Creswell grew wrathful. They declared that the style of roof now being con- structed had been selected after a careful study of authorities on roofs; that they had consulted competent engineers, who were far better able to judee of its merits than those who had reported it to be faulty. sl '{ roof was ever constructed that would not leak,” declared Auditor Brod- erick, “‘and you will not be able to get & demonstration that it will not leak. It will probably let in some storm water. 1 want to say right here, however, that it is as good a roof as can be constructed, and Iam willing to take the responsibility of going right on with construction.”” Comm issioner Creswell expressed him- self likewise, and added that the commis- sion had known for eighteen months that roofers interested in_ rival styles would object to the work and try to pick flaws in it in order to throw discred it on the com- mission and the manufacturers of the ma- terials used. Mayor Phelan insisted that a mistake bad been made in changing the copper gutterways to cement channels, but the Auditor disagreed with him, stating that copper gutterways gave malicious persons a chance to cut them and flood the build- ing either for spite or to give mechanics an opportunity to repair them. e stated that holes in the old roof that were supposed to have been caused by rust had been shown to have been cut with chisels and that it had cost several hundred dollars to repair the damages. He demonstrated to the satisfaction of himself and Mr. Creswell that the solid cement gutters contemplated would not leak perceptibly and that because of the qilch of the roof the damage of cracks and leaks on the slopes was small. He also stated that the Commissioners had been influenced to do away with the copper by reason of the experience of the Capitol at Sacramento, where whole sec- tions of metal had been torn off and stolen. If, however, there was anything in the story that the iron used is not up to specifications the Auditor desired an investigation, and it was decided to in- spect the roof during the week and probe the matter thoroughly.
