Bateman Bros,, Contractors, Make Excuses to the Harbor Com- missioners. The Harbor Commissioners held a mee ing yesterday afternoon and had Bate- man Brothers come forward and explain what they had to do with the delay on the new ferry building. Answer was made that the specifications did not make it obligatory upon them to do certain work, and they were waiting for it 10 bs done before proceeding. Major Harney took a different view of proceedings, and warned the contraetors that unless more energy is shown in the | matter hereaf er somebody will get into trouble. Colonel Chadbourne stated that unless more speed was maniiesiea he would re- fuse t0 sign any more warrants. This threat wiil doubtless bave the effect of a strong stimulant. Pres:dent Colnon, perched upon a ped- esiai of dignity, announced tha. the board will hereafter 'bold executive ses-ions if Liie newspapers are net more complimen- tary. As the board has had to admit that the press was in the right when it asseried that the delay on the bui.ding in question was altogether unnecessary, his words were sadly inconsistent. IT WAS NOT FIXED. Judge Campbell Undertakes to Head Off a Story That Reflocted on Him. Henry Meyer brought suit in the Jus- tices’ court some time ago against E. Biaser to recover a ciaim for a suit of clothes. Another phase of the same case cropped up in the Pol:ce Court, but it ap- pears the case was not heard there, Vesterday Judge Campbell went before Justice of the Peace Barry and said that it had come to his ears that in the trial of tne case belore him (Barry) some one of the witnesses had said that the case had been “fixed” in his (Campbell’s) court. He wanted to know about it and to make it warm for anybody who said so. Judge Barry looked up the record and found no sucn testimony and said he had no recollection of any such thing being said, and Juige Campbell went away con- tented. —_———— islon No. 7, A. © H , Board of Erin, The annual election of fficers of Division No. 7, A.

Appea’s for the Privilege of Putting Him to a Crucial Physical Test. This Is Ccnsidered by the Defems2 as One cf the Most Important Issues D:veloped in the Trial. A serious question has arisen in the Fair-Craven litigation-—a question of vital importance to Mrs. Nettie Craven's de- fense against the charges of forgery hurled by the Fair executors at the deeds she holds to valuable property, inventoried as | a part ot the late millionaire miner’s es- | tate, | Has not the defense the rizht to ascer- tain, by physical and crucial test, whether | a witness who has assailed her claims | knows actually whereof he speaks? That’s it. Long and earnest arcuments | were evoked by reason of a dispute over | this point—arguments that will be beard again at to-duy’s session ana which wiil | appeal to Judge Slack for a most impor- | tant decision. It came about when Cierk Stanford of | the H. 8. Crocker Compsny’s legel blank | department, was recalled to the witness- stand to identify the contents of four vol- } umes of legal blank samples printed by bis employers. Manager Crocker of the stationery firm could not, it will be re- membered, recognize these exhibits be- ! cause he did not have tha actual handling of them. So it was that Stanford was sent | for. This curly-headed young man es- sayed at first some rositiveness in his! identification, basing it upon the fact that | away back in 1889 he had gathered up some blanks to be bound; but when | pinned down to a propositzon involving | his own knowledge, while under cross- | examination by Attorney D. M. Delmas, | he was not so certan. | At all events an effort was made to | locate Stanford in the matter of bis ability | to recognize Crocker notarial blank= Mr. | Delmas banded him what appeared to be | ons of the ordinary acknowledgment | blanks printed by his house ana asked if he was Willing to swear that it really was | printed there—and this is what stirred up | the whote d.scassion. Messrs. McEnerney und Wheeler, repre- | senting the pisinuffs, objected to the test on the ground that Stanford was not pos- ing as an expert and was identiying | bianks simply 1o the best of his knowledge. Mr. Delmas replied at length. He was earnest, eloquent and convincing. Stan- ford’s 1dentitication of one particular blank contained in those volumes was he said, the only real bit of resl evidence the plaintiffs had adduced—the only cob- web upon which they could hang their | serious charpes, if cobweb it was at all. The fates of several people depended upon | the outcome of a trial which relied foran adverse verdict substantislly upon o man’s self-claimed abiliny to identil commonplace, printed document. FHad the defense not the right topshow, whether or not this one man was competent to | give such evidence, he asked. Counsel indulged In a bypothesis, Sup- pose & witness should testiiy positively | that the man whko bad murdered his | friend wore a bine coat, and then suppose | this witness were handed a red coat and | he pronounced it the same blue coat the | aileged murderer wore, would not the de- j fense bave the right to show this in | court—to show that the witness was color | biiud and did not know wiai he was talk- ing about? Drawing another comparison | Mr. Deimas supposed that a man had | sworn that he had seen a tiger, and he asked if it would not be permissibie to confront him with a panther and inquire | of him if this was the animal he saw. An identical sitnation, said counsel, | was ut hand. Sianford bad identified a | Crocker notarial blank. Why, bhe asked, | could not the defense place before him | another blank and ascertamn if he could | recognize that, 100? Itwas a viial point and Judge Slack evinced no desire to give a decision off- hand. Before lie would listen to the argu- ments of the other side azainst Mr. Dai- | mas’ position he adjourned court over | until this morning and told them ne| would bear tnem then. In the meantime he will delve into bis books for light. Tue plainuifs in consequence of this argument, as well as an apparent lack of aesire to hurry, did not close their case yesterday as Mr. McEuerney had prom- ised. They may finish up to-day and they may not. Herbert Clarke, the man of marvelous memory, resumed the Witness-stand at the outset of yesterday morning’s proceed- ings for further cross-examination. He was questioned at lengtn by Mr. Deimas as to the details of his movements and his duties while serving as the late Senator Fair's yalet in the month of Septcmoer, 1804 He wanted to know particuwarly | about the visit to San Rafael. | Mr. Delmas was care.ul to pilot Clarke | along every foot of ground that the valet ! has heretofore testitied 10 with o much attention to detail as having been traversed by himself and Senator Fair durinz the six days in San Rafael—those days on which it is 80 important for the plaintiffs 1o prove the Senator stayed across the bay s0 as not to ve at Mrs. Craven’s residence presenting her with deeds aud wriung out pencil wills. Clurke kept on the old paths rather | closely. Comine down to the 24th of Sep- | tember, he remembered that the Senaior | went out riding iu Gilligan's hack in the | afternoon, going toward the convent. While the millionaire was away the wit- ness devoted his time to packing up, pre- paraiory to leaving for San Francisco the following da; Mr. Delmas was curious to know some- | tuing about the two valises Clarke pucked. | and found out that tie Senator's was a | gigantic affair containing a mixture of | underwear, pertume, toilet articles, bot- | tles of strontium, capsules, bay rum, col- | tar-puttons and volumes of the Arabian Nights. And after this recital the “gen- tleman’s gentiemar” was allowed to go. | J. R. Wood, n clerk in the Crocker-| | NEW TO-DAY. That sentence| is Schilling's Best tea is not B cause it is fresh-roasted.

Crocker Compa as entry clork, He was shown the dai biotter o sales of the latter establ sh- ment, and had his attention called to an item under date of August 8, 1391, show- ing thata sale had been made to the firm of Payot, Upham & Co. This was a sale of notarial blanks. All Wood did was to identify the entry asbeing in his hand- wniting, aud to affirm that it was prop- erly dated C. L. Colvin, an attorney and notary, identitied a deed he kad drawn up and acknowledged for a client in August, 1591. Colvin sad he purchased the blank on which he executed that acknowledgment from E. P. Taylor, the Ouk.and stationer. Taylor testified severa! davs agot he got ail of his blanks from the Cmcker} Company. | Mr. Delmas made a formal objection at | the opening of the afternoon se-sion to the introduction of the Coivin deed n evidence. He said he couid not see the materiality of it. Mr. McEnerney made a long statement to the court and jury regarding his efforts to_establish proof against the Cooney | acknowledgment. The nub of 1t was that ; from 1891 10 1895 the Crocker Company did not print the kind of notarial blanks that Cooney used, as he alleges, in 1894; and further that in 1894 the bianks did not | contain the words “'to me.’’ Mr. Del a< replied that this sort of | eyidence left the ju: ing to do but | to conjecture and draw inferences—and | such conjectures and 1nferences th their face were ridicuious. In the place, he said, the statutes for eighteen | ears prio= to 18)1 required the wording | of notarial blanks to be in the exact lan- erately ignored the law and printed | blanks after a tashion to suit itself. Th was rather a rasa assumption, but so f. as counsel could see it was the on Mr. McEnerney had. 1f the latter would be brave emcugh to ofter proof to the effect thas the Crock Company had been steadily guilty of this violation, continued Mr. Delmas, there | would pe no objection offered whatever. | Mr. McEnerney wasnot exactly prepared he hoped to sbow that the Cooney blanks | were printed by the Crocker Company | after it was incorporated in 1891 After some further talk the court de- cided toadmit the Colvin deed for what it was worth. He had his doubts asto its weight as evidence. That would be a ma ter 1or subsequent ar: nt. ADVANCES made on or without removal. J, e and pianos, with an, 1017-1028 Mission. - SULLIVAN TO GOMMAND.
