ANEW RABBI COMING He Will Take Charge in the| Synagogue Ohabisho'am N-xt Month. Dr. Myers, Bachelor of Arts, From Montrea', Has Been S>cured by the Congregation. | | Ever since Rabbi Fryer retired last Sep- | | tember from pastoral churge of the Syna- | gogue Ohab sholam, on Bush street, the | congregation have been looking about for a rabbi to fill his place. Abraham Alt- mayer of 824 Turk street, a leading mem- ber of the congregation, has been fore- most in the matter, and recently opened {up a correspondence with Rabbi Isidore | | Myers, A.B., of the Shaar Hashomayim | Synagogue of Montreal. Rabbi Myers ac- cevted the invitation and he will arrive here to take charge about the middle of ;July, | Rabbi Myers is well known for his eru- | dition, having received a thorough aca- | demic education. He took s course in | the Jewish theolozical school in London | and afterward graduated from the leading | college in Melbourne, Australia, where he | received thedegree of Bachelor of Aris. In Australia he had charge of a syna- gogue for five years, and prior to his de- | parture his congregation presented to him a purse of $15%0. He then went to Gias- gow, and had cuerge of a svnagogue there. On retiring from his charge in order to | zive a course of lectures in Englund and in iha Eastern States he was presented | with u set of flattering resolutions and a | purse. Rabbi Myers has gained considerable | reputation as a lecturer on Jewish sub- | jects. On the occasion of a lecture deliy- | ered by him in Montreal a month ago the Mayor, several Juiges, professorsof the | university and other notable people nccu- pied tie platform. The ~ubject of his lec. ture was “‘“The Ethics of Judaism,” and be produced a marked impresaion. The rabbi will be assisted in the services in this City by Cantor Myerson, a fine singer and iavorite of tne congregation. —— HENDERSON LOSES. { Judge Seawell Grants a Nonsuit in Favor of the Musicians’ Union, { A decision of considerable importance | to members of unions was renderea by Judge Seawell of the Superior Court yesterday.

But his eyes—well, they tell the siory. They possess that familiar stare and glisien that indicates the wandering mind. Those weird-look- | ing optics do not constitute the only con- victing proof, however. He asserts that the proparty from which the Fair estate executors are endeavoring to oust Mrs, Netuie R. Craven belongs to him and not 10 either the estate or the lady. This man has been writing letters to | ven | trial and signs his name as C. M. Saffer. | the jurors now sitting in the Fair-u; He siands a good chance to feel the strong arm of the law if Judge Slack hears of any more of hisdoings in this line. Jurors Mish and Martinoni both made com- plaints to 1he court yesterday and exhib- 1ted the letiers they had received from Seffer. These letters are similar in so far as their contents are concerned, for they both relate the same story. The writer informs the jurors that many years ago he loaned Senator Fair §$35,000, and that with this amount the multi-millionaire miner purchased the property at Pine and Sansome streets and at Mission and Eleventh streets, which 1+ now in dispute. He considers that, inasmuch as the bor- rowed money was Dever returned to him by the late Senator, he, and not the Fair estate nor Mrs Craven, is entitled 1o the property, And he wants these jurors to render a verdict in his favor. “Through the courtesy and kindness of the administrators and their attorneys,” ifer in his leiter to Juror Mish— and he resorts to ironical emphases in ex- ng the words courtesy and kinde ness—I am not allowed to testify and prove my claim. So Iapply to you, gen- tlemen, to help me in this, that the ex- ecutors do not get the best of me with their learned attorne, Then be sub- scribes himself as a “Wictim of Con- spiracy,” and says he has no fear of get- ting mixed up with the court because of | his communication ith the jurors. Seffer has been in Judge Black's court- room ever -ince the Fair litication began, and to the bailiff, the court and the law- yers—all of whom he has confided with at ~be has had but the one story to teil. The principal is $35,00, but according to his computatious the prop- erty now involved in litigation would | scarcely satisiy him, for the intersst on the loan amounts up into the millions.

Lew Hing, a merchant in Chinatown, | vesterday filed charges with the Board of Police Commissioners against Policeman J. H.

Crowley would not relinquish his grasp and continued to bold Hing for about ten minutes, when two other policemen came up and re- leased him. “Al their reques says Hing in his scen them say the piece is as pretty and interesting as Denman Thompson's famous story of New England life.

The benefit takes place at the Baldwin Theater Frilay afternoon, June 4. | | the subject of which was the advisability state them,” was directed again to Ames at the opening of the afternoon session. Given his start the voluble expert pro- ceeded to rattle away at his wonted break- neck pace. Ames talks so fast that Counrt Stenographer Smith finds it extremely difficulty to keep up with him and is com- pelied every now and then to call a halt for breath ard rest. The expert called attention to the char- acteristics of the letter *‘a,” as they ap- pear in the admittedly genuine writings of Fair and in the disputed writings. The experis who preceded Ames on the siand also devoied much time and analysis to this letter, so when this individual re ferred to it again, and promised to delve into the subject deeply, a look expressi of that tired ieeling spread over the jurors’ countenances. Stripped of its technical- ities and verbiage Ames’ story about the “a’’ was that in the will he noticed that the letter was invariabiy left open at the ton, whereas Senator Fair was seldom ever guilty of such neglect in forming his “a’s.” That was the same thing the other exnerts employed to testify for the plain- tiffs said in giving their evidence. Ames’ next dissertation was in refer- ence to the final stroke of the letier ‘‘s.”” He had found that Fair often gove this stroke a twist to the left—in fact oftener than he ever did to the right. This, he said, could not be found in the disputed will. There the sirokes all aarted to the right. Then there were alleged di crepancies in the loop of the letter ‘g, so Ames said, to support his tneory that the disputed writings were not genuine. The loops executed by Fair, he said, were Known as “‘cccentrics”’ and in appearance were like bulbs. Bat in the will, he said, he had found what he called “‘balanced loops.” The capital “E” he found in the will was, he said, an imitation of the genuine letter so far as character was concerned, but not as to form. At this juncture the attorneys for the plaintiffs held a whispered consultation, of limiting Ames’ latitude on tne stand. It was becoming apparent to these gen- tlemen that the expert could lecture away there for another fortnight without stopping to take a breath. They had begun to fear that this would have a mad- dening effect upon the jury and con- cluded that it was about time to whistle | down brakes. At the conclusion of the | confab Ames was admonished by Mr. Mitchell to give “‘only his more impor- tant reasons’ for thinking that the pencil | w.ll was not genuine. Ames picked out the word “‘my” and said that in the will there invariably ap- peared a little loop at the end of the final stroke ot the *'v,” and this was something be could not find in the genuine writings excent on rare occasions. The capital “D's” were, 1n_his opinion, poo! tions, as were also the capital *'I's. Mr. Ames pointed to the small letter “w,” and sald there was a wide difference between those in the exemplars and those | in the disputed will. The fi-st stroke of the letter was ‘‘whopped up,” he said, in the genuine writings, but was just the op- posite in the will. “Cropped up, did you say?”’ asked Mr. Foote of the aefense. “Whopped up,”’ replied Ames. Do you mean whooped up? *No, whopped up.” Judge Siack remarked that he thought Mr. Ames said “‘popped up.’’ Mr. Foote said he only wanted informa- | tion, as there was a good deal of difference | between ‘‘whopped up’ and “whooped imita- | Dot ! Tn answer to .. question by Mr. Mitchell, | Ames «aid that after a careiul examin tion of the lettersaid to have been written 10 Mrs. Craven on December 16, 1894, and | in which the Senator speaks of the dceds, | | be iad come 1o the conclusion that that | document was not genuine. His reasons | for this were an ailegea absence of the sweeps and careless, rapid movements seen in Fair's writings. He claimed that | the disputed letter was written with a stiff hand and in a very hesitating man- ner. | And he was still giving “‘reasons’’ when court ad journed over until this morning. | AT COLLECTOR WIS Colonel John P. Jackson Took His Seat as Collector of the Port. M:jor Moore, Special Agent, Hung Three Scalps to His Belt. J:rome Still Stays. John H. Wise yesterday morning re- tired from a characteristically Democratic | admnistration as Collector of the Port of San Francisco, and Colonel John P. Jack- son took his place. It is expected that Colonel Jackson's administration will be iaracteristically Republican. hortly before 10 o'clock Colonel Jack- son made his appearance, and was intro- duced to the Castom-huuse employes. There were present also Naval Officer Irish and Appraiser Tucker. The resignation of J. J. Chappell as cash- ier of the Cusiom-house was tendered and | accepted. It was a nice job with good pay and easy work, but Mr. Chappell de- | sired a change and re-t for a while from | the affairs of state, and the colonel did not bave the heart to refuse him. Wil- liam D. Hamilton, who made Senator Perkins' fight in Sacramento last winter, was appointed in Mr. Coappeil’s place so that the last named gentiemen will not be delayed in beginning bis vacation. Speciai Veputy Coliector Jerome uid not resign, and it is expected that be will re- main until somebody with a stronger pull secures the joo. Chirese Inspector Charles L. Weller was summarily dismissed by the Secre- tary of the Treasury this morning. That makes the third scalp in the beit of Spe- | cial Agent Moore. The first was Dewitt C. Jackson and the second was Coliector Wise.

Charles Alpers led off by moving that it be the cense of the committee that a mass-meeting of citizens be called at | which an expression of opinion would be evoked on the question. This, it nothing | more, would act as‘'a stiffening to the | backbones of the Supervisors in appoint- | ing a corps of civil engineers to estimate | the expense and source of supply of fur- | nishing waterto the City. | This motion was opposed by some of | the de.egales, while others favored t1. !

George R. Fietcher, rresident of the Associated Clubs, favored this scheme. H. H. Sherwood, delegate from the Board of Trade, fuvored the condemna- | was of the opinion that to establish anew | water supply the streets of the City would be torn up for the next two years. Dr. Salfied agreed with Mr. Sherwood. Major B. McKiune favored the idea of having the Supervisors call a special elecs tion, for the purpose of issuing bonds, hy which the City could own its own water. Supervisor Rottanzi, whoarrived at this time, gave the committee some informa- tion on the legal phase of the question and the powers of the board to act. G. R.
