10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED s COVERNOR BUDD WILL ECONDMIZE State Lunacy Commission | Will Reduce Salaries of Employes. TW0 THOUSAND PERSONS AFFECTED | It Is Claimed That a Private Schedule Indicates a Saving | of $50,000. RUMORED THAT SOME HEADS WILL FALL Since the Formation of wae Commis- sion Retrenchment Has Been the Watchword. Governor Budd has decided that in economy there is wealth. As the head of a Srate Commission in Lun- therefore proceed to econ- He will begin on his especiny arges—the Stateasylums for the insane. He will do this at once. Already tne fiat has gone forth, the letters to the various members of the various boards of man- | azers have been written and the recip- s are now engaged in arranging a schedule. In other words, the salaries and bills of expensesof ali employes and | of the asylums are to be cut, The approx- eted schedule now in the possession of | » Governor makes it clear that a saving ,f $50,000 per year will be effected. Over )00 persons, employes of the institutions, will be concerned. H This, however, is by no means a new | idea. Since the passage of the bill creat. ing the commission, which was passed in | March, and since the formation of} the commission, which was done soon thereafter, economy has been the watch- | word. John F. Carrere is secretary of the commission, and so far as the approving | f is concerned, has unlimitea power. | ly Luppened since his in- | e thal many estimates lowed and superintend- | often been compelled 1o | economize one week in or- pay the disaliowed bills of| Early in April this was | to the attention of the Governor, | ae surprise of everybody, ap- e official acts of his Repubi and thereafier he took stin the dispursements. Bo | h so indeed that he calied the atten- of the various members of the board | , and the action of the secretary was | again informally approved. Under the terms of the act approved ir | March the commission was 1o be lbso-] lutely non-partisan and was to be known as the State Commission in Lunacy. The | opuointing power was intrusied 1o the | Governor. He appointed R. W. Brown, who is Secretary of State; . ald, who is Attorn thews, who is secretary of Health, and Dr. F Hatch to the | positions, and John F. Carrere, a Soutu- ern California newspaper man, to the po: tion of secretyry. The law turther pro- vided that a meeting should be held quar- terly, and last Wednesday the first of these were held. Before this the question of economy bad been much discussed, and after the reaaing of the report of Major Carrere, in which he itemized the transactions, the session was given over | o a formal discussion of the subject. It | was hela behind clored doo | At this session it was found that the af- fairs of 1he insane asylums under the old regime had become very much entangled. There was no system by which the opera- tions were carried on, and each institution was a law unto itself. It was found tbat a secretary of one asylum was in receipt | of a salury largely in excess of what any | of the secretaries of tue other asylums | were receiving. It was also found that | the accounts were kept, and that | large amounts of provisions were unac- | counted for. It was not suspected that | anything criminal had been or was beiny done, but it was the unanimons opinion | that gross neglicence in many instances | obtained. Mr. Ruddick, a trusiee o1 Ukiah, fingily suggested that a zeneral | reduction 6f salaries be had at ouce; that the salaries of ali persons hoiding similar | positions be made alike, and finally, that 1he cost of mainten in all insiances | be reduced to & minimum. | Secretary Carrere was thereupon in- | structed to draft a letter, and to make up | a schedule of the salaries as at present awarded and to forward the same to the trustees and superintendents of the vari- ous asylums. There are five of these. Dr. 8. M. Gardner is the superintendent at Napa, Dr. Asa Clark at dwockion, Dr. F. | O. Sponogle at Agnews, and Dr. E. W. | King at Mendocino. There is another | called Highlancs, in Southern California. Immediately upon his return 1o Sacra- mento Secretary Carrere draited the letter and made np the scheduies. These he sent to each member ot the different boards of managers in the Siate, and of these Isaac Upham of Payot & Upham, who is a member of the board of man- agers at Agnews, Dr. M. Gardner of Men- | docino, and A. W. Foster, preside:t of | the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail- way, all 1esident of San Francisco, re- | ceived one each. D:. M. Gurdner, who is aiso chief surgeon of the Southern Pacitic Company, was the only one of the three who could be seen last night. ‘He did not feel at liberty to discuss 1t so publicly as he may later, but during an interview said: was under the impression that vigor- ous efforts were being made to prevent | any publicity until aiter the changes were | mude. However, it is not a new thing oy | any means. We have been discussing this for some time, and there has been considerabie agitation in connection witk: it. The action was largely due to the en- tangled condition in which we found the affairs of the different asylums. Hereto- fore each has been an individual and sub- ject to a different set of ruies, and in many instances drawing all sorts of salaries. This I do not know of my own perscnal knowledge, but it was brought out in the several discussions we had on the subject. As to the number of people affectea by ihe proposed cut I am not now able to say. Iknow that they havk a whole host of people at Highlands, bui at Mendocino I know of at least fif:ty who will feel the effects of the change. ‘I do not know that there willl be many discharges, but there have been rumors. Ido not think we will be able to dispense with any one at Mendocino. o faras my personal opinion is concerned I believe that as a business proposition the cut should be made, but as to the effect of it on the political outlook I cannot say. Of course I do'not believe in reducing the salary of a good man. Brains are 100 scarce; but I do believe that there should bea complete equalization on the most | is Republican in politics {and all economical basis, and I shall do ail I can to further 1t.” Dr. Gardner refnsed to tell what his rec- ommendations with regzard to Mendocino would be, sayinz that he preferred to make his report first to the secretary. He thought that to reveal bis intentions out of the regular method would be a breach of official etiquette. g It may be a significant fact, but it is true that the majority of the commission WOULD NOT MOVE ON, Christopher Seffer, a Cook, Arrested for Disturbing the Peace and Car- rying a Concealed Weapon. Christopher Seffer, a cook 30 years of age, was arrested in the Larkin-street cor- rider of the City Hall yesterday morning by Policeman Wagner, on charges of dis- | turbing the peace and carrying a concealed weapon. Seffer has been making himself a nui- sance around the hall ior some time. He is theman who has been writing letters to Judge Slack and the attorneys in the Fair will case, claiming that he had loaned the deceased millionaire $300.000 and demand- ing repayment of the loan. Yesterday morning Judge Low’s court- room was so crowded that the doors were thiown open. Seffer stood at the entrance and was preventing people from passing in and out. Policeman Wagner told him to stand aside and he refused. Wagner took hold of him and pushed him aside. Seffar had a cane in bis hand and made a blow at the officer. Wagner grabbed him and Seffers fought like a lion. All along the corridor and down to the City Prison the struggle was kept up, and when Wag- ner got his prisoner before the desk ser- peant the perspiration was pouring from him. Seffer gave the mame of Christopher Mitchell. It was not till he was searched in the prison that the revolver was found in his pocket, and Wagner considers that he had a lucky escape. ALL KINDS OF SPORAS, Planting Trout in Mountain Lakes—Anglers on an Outing, Athletic Benefit for a Good Cause. Water Polo at Lurline Baths, The California State Fish Commission bas just liberated in Fallen Leaf Lake, Cascade and Lake Tahoe 1000 two-year | and one-year oid Loch Leven trout, aver- aging eight inches in length. The fry were haiched in Caledonia, N. Y., eggs that were shipped from Scotland and the fry of which were shipped to the Sis- son hatehery when thres months oid. The Commissioners are in hopes that an- glers who catch those small trout will re- turn them to their element. A dental party, so called, and composed of the following dentists left this City last Garcia River: Drs. W. H. Shaw, H. Fieissner, Gus Flewssner, H. G. Young, E. Keeffe, W. Ellis and H. Saw. They will camp fourteen miles from Point Arena. Messrs. Al Newman, Kobert Taylor and P. Molloy journeyed to Hamlet last Sat- urday and will prospect Tomales Bay for striped bass. The anglers will return to- day, and if they have success a large party of bass fishermen will visit Hamlet next Saturday. A. B, Finch of the Fly-casting Club left this City on Saturday for a vacation of six weeks in the vicinity of the Truckee River. A letter from a place called Herndon, which is sitnated in the vicinity of the San Joaquin River, states that thousands of fish, including suckers, catfish, carp, strijed bass and black bass, are being slaughtergd by poachers, who are using dynamite extensively.

OAKLAND, Car, July 7.-—The mem- bers of the U. P. E. C. are very gratified with the success o! their appearance yes- terday. They do not relish the fact that several papers spoke of Vasco de Gama as a Spaniard, when he was one of the most intrepid Portuguese navigators. The V. P. £. C. Portuguese Union of the State of Calilornia now has thirty councils, the greater number being in Alameda County. Yesterday, in_addition to the San Lean- dro councils, Nos. 7, 13 and 25, all of Oak- land, were also in Jhine and took part, greatly helping the success of their divi- sion, from | | Saturday for two weeks' outing on the | HOW Tk - TAXES ARk ASSESSED The Land-Owner Has Half the Amount Charged Against Him, SOME LARGE FLUCTUATIONS. Personal Property and Improve- ments Pay the Other Half, BANK ASSESSMENT IS REDUCED. Bankers Have Grown Wise and In- vested in Non-Assessable Securities, Assessor Siebe yesterday filed his report with the Board of Supervisors for the fiscal year just closed and with it sub- mirted his annual report to the Surveyor- General of the State giving the statistics of the mechanical and manufacturing in- terests of the City and County. Both of them give data of much interest at this time. The assessment upon personal property amounts to $67,013.184; that on real property, $278,322,285. Of this latter $187,636,545 was the assessment on Jand and $90,685,740 was on buildings or “im- provements.” The assessment upon per- sonal property and improvements to- gether therefore amount to $157,698,924, or within $29,937,621 of being as much as is levied against the land. 4 The assessment of personal property, secured and unsecured, last year footed up $82,251.831, while the real estate roll amounted to 334,295, showing a de- crease of $12,250.657 on personal property and real esiate, the entire assessment last year having been $357,586,126, against $345,335.469 in 1897. The Assessor accounts for this in several ways. The personal property roll, al- though fooiing up $4,226,642 over the year 1895, shows a decrease of §15,238,647 over last year. OI this $14,923 389 is a falling off in bank assessments. This is ex- plained by the fact that the banks have let go their Eastern industrial securities and invested in those in California, the latier being non-assessable. The real esiate a<s -ssment shows an in- crease on land of $938,137 over last year, while the assessment on buildings shows an increase of $2,037,000 over and above the reductions made in consequence of the natural depreciation of this class of property. The assessed value of mortgages is $50,- 715,059 against $50,928,692 in 1895. The University ot California now has mortgages and real propériy in thiscounty to the value of $1,014,440, which isexempt from assessment and taxation. The receipts and expenditures of the Assessor's office were shown as follows: RECEIPTS. Taxes on persoual proper.y (unas- sessed $385,611 05 Poll tax, . 2,124 00 Total... veveee $407,786 05 EXPENSES.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Bread- albane, who for about five weeks past have been in Victoria and Vancouver, ar- rived here yesterday and are at the Pal- ace. The Marquis of Breadalbane belongs to one of the oldest and most distin- guished houses of Scotland. The Marquis is a large man, with a ruddy face and an open, taking way of talking. He is a famous hunter and has traveled very extensively, though he has never be- fore been in America. He said last night that he had set out originally for a trip to India, but that after he had got started, remembering that his party had been de- feated and that he “belonged to the great army of the unemployed,” he concluded to extend his trip further. He therefore spent some time in Ceylon in hunting elephants and other blg game. He then went to China and ultimately to Japan, in both of which countries he re- mained for several weeks. “lam now goingto see the Yosemite Vailey,”’ said the Marquis last night. * have long understood that it was by all odds the finest little bit of scenery in the world and of course I could not think of going away without seeing it. “When I havedone that I will go East, spending in all about three or four weeks in this country. 1 must get home by the | end of July. Iam interested in raiiroads agood deal, being a director in three dif- ferent railroads in Scotland. I shall look at some of the equipments of the roads here. I want especially if I can to see some of the apparatus for clearing snow off the track. “So far as home rule is concerned, it must come eventually. I am on that side and believe in it, but when I was relegated a couple of years ago and Mr. Gladstone, | our great chief, also stepped aside for a while I concluded to let politics go till the pendulum had swung back again. It is sure to do this. We may have to wait a year or two, but that is ail. ““he most exciting sport 1 had while T was in tbe Orient was in hunting the big elephants they have there. Some peopls go out and bunt them when they are bunched up together. There is no fun in that, but to get the real sport out of it you want to take the elephants when they are alone, I went out with a friend of mine on & hunt for a big tusker. We found one, and he was a very ugly fellow, too, and if it had not been for the friend I don’t know what might have happened me. This big elephant came lunging far- ward. He had just got a scent of me, and he was wicked. “I suppose I would not have known just what to do, but the man who was with me thrust a good gun in my hand and then ran. He knew how to do it, and my friend showing up just then, he laid the bi: brute out with a shot from his gun when he wasn’t more than a rod away. These big elephants have to be shot right in the right place. them in the middle of the forehead does not count for anything; you have gotto strike the brain, and the brain is away back in the back part of the head. “The thing todo 18 toshoot in the upper part of the temple. This is what was done in this case, end the great beast fell dead at once.” The Marquis saw the sights of the City yesterday, puttine in the entire day in different places. He thinksSan Francisco one of the most fascinating cities of the zlobe. R — Death of an Old Resident. OAKLAND, Can, July 6.—Richard Pearce. father of Webb N.
