10 FRANCISCO CALL. THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1897. D PAY FOR ACERY Seven Thousand Unable to Draw Their Salaries. LACK OF REGISTERS THE CAUSE. None Can Be Supplied While | the Printing Office Is Closed. OPINION OF THOSE VERSED IN STATE LAW, Instructors Must Walt the Next Legis- lature Meets. Say the Until SACRAMENTO, Cav., July 7.—Nearly 7000 teachars of the public schools of the State of California will be unable to draw | any pay for their services until the next | session of the Legislature, Such is the | opinion of those versed 1n the school laws of the State, and it is claimed that the | subject has been brought to the attention of the Attorney-General, and that he bLas been requested to render an opinion. This is owing to the fact that Governor | Budd saw fit to veto the appropriation for the State Printing Office. In consequence the school registers, which are requisite under the present laws, cannot be ob- 1ained for the teachers, and unless these registers are in their possession and prop- erly filled out the County Superintend- enis are forbidden to draw warrants in their favor. WILFORD WOODRUFF The Aged President of the father in the mills in that city until he was County, he first heard of the Mormonistic which clung to him at the first heariug. mission to England shortly thereafter. Section 1696 of the Political Code, sub- division 5, provides that every teacher | “must keep a State school register, in which shall be left at the close of the-term a report showing programme of recita- tions, classification and grading of all | pupils who have attended school at any time during the school year. The Super- intendent shall in no case draw a requisi- tion 1n favor of the teacher untii the teacher has filed with him a certificate | from the clerk of the Board of School Trustees to the effect tbat the provisions of this subdivision have been complied with.” And section 1700 provides that: “No | warrant must be drawn in iavor of any | teacuer unless the officer whose daty it is 1o draw such warrant is satisfied that the teacher has faithiuliy parformed all the | duties preseribed in section one thousand | six hundred and ninety-six.” | These registers must be provided, like all other supplies, by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the law ex- pressly provides (in section 1532, subdi- vision 6) that he must *‘prepare, have | printad and furpish all cfficers charged | with the administration of the laws relat- | ing 10 the puolic schools ani to teachers | such blank forms and books as may be necessary to the discharge of their auties, | includinz blank teachers’ certificates to | be used by county Boards of Education.” | Itis also expressly provided that lhe,\'} | must be printed in the Siate Printing Office. The language of the code is clear and | unmistakable, and unless the State Print- ing Office can supply the registers the | teachers can draw no pay. | The State school register is an elabo- rate record of the attendance, progress and conduct of each pupil, and consisis of fifty-seven pages of various records and | reports, requiring no less than thirteen different kinds of ruling and as many different forms of questions. Besides these there are five pages of solid non- pareil contsining instructions to teachers and extracts from the Political Code. | The book measures 121x8 inches and can be gotten out only in one or two offices in the State outside of the State Printing Office, and even if these were permitted to prepare them the expense would be much greater. The problem that now confronts the State and its people is, Will the teachers be wiliing to proces:d with their work without pay, or will they close the schools | until the Governor calls an extra session? It is clear they can draw no pay without filling in their blanks in a book they can- not obtain, and there seems at present no way our of the difficalty.

Alleged Trustees Restrained From Working the Golden Cross Group. | C. W. Pauly of San Diego Appointed | Recelver for the Valuable | Property. EAN DIEGO, Caw., July 7.—The Golden Cross gold mines at Hedges on the Colo- rado Desert, are in trouble again. Neaily two years ago these mines, which are valued at $2.000,000, and produce $30,600 worth of builion every month, went into litigation, and W. W. Stewart of this city was appointed receiver at a salary of §650 | a month. Under his management the property was still further developed, and | $200,000 of the indebtedness paid off. The mines were generally supposed to be in first-class condition, and tihey were turn- ing out fully $30,000 in bullion a month | when, about two weeks ago, Stewart turned | the property over to the company and was | discharged as receiver. The next day the Golden Cross Company sold the entire property to a company of Colorado and Arizona capitalists known as the Free Gold Mining Company for $1,500,000. In the meantime, John Spiers, Joseph Sloss and others claimed to have received a deed ot trust conveying the property to them, and executed by the Golden Cross Company. To-aay the Free Gold Mining Company appeared in court by its attorneys, Samuel M. Shortridge, Colonel Isaac Trumbo and Jeffersoi Chandler of San Francisco, and asked for a temporary writ of injunction restraining these alleged trustees from working the property and to quiet title. The plaintiffs were entirely successful. The writ of injunction was granted, and | C. W. Pauly of this city was appointed receiver of the proverty. with his bond fixed at $25,000 and compensation at $400 a month. Pauly filed his bond imme- diately and left this afternoon for Hedges to take charge of the property. ARRAIGNED AL SANIA CRUZ Plyler’s Examination on a Charge of Mayhem Began. *SANTA CRUZ, Cav., July 7.—Gzo0rge F. Plyler was arraigned to-day on a charge of mayhem, committed on Charles Harris. Loryea, a negro, was the only witness this morning. He testified that Pliyler engaged him to come to Santa Cruz and paid him $5. Plyler selected a room for him and Bradley, one of the defendants. The prisoner gave him a pistol, telling him he might need it. On June 20 Plyler and Loryea drove to Wagoner’'s Park, near Trip Hill. Plyler selected a lonely spot to which he 1in- tended to bring Charles Huirs. They when Schoedde, the veterinary, and Bradley got into the bugey and drove to the spot which Plyler Loryea denied having had anything to do with the crime. He tes- tineda that Schoedde had told him the deed had been done.

Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission, WHITTIER BOYS UNDER CONTROL Four Deputy Sheriffs Assist the School’s Officers. Danger of Another Revolt of the Young Wards of the State. ObJact to Thomas Brady, Who Was Recently Elevated to the Cap~ talncy of Company A. LOS 4NGELES, CaL, July 7.—Four Deputy Shenifs went from this city to Whittier to-day to help quell the mutiny of the boys in the State reform school. As the force of officers and guards was almost wholly new and strange to the in- stitution, having been put in place since the board of trustees became ali Democratic, the boy inmates of the reformatorv es- sayed to dictate rulesand policy, and be- cause they did not like Thomas Brady, captain of Company A, they refused to go through the usual routine. Attempts to arrest some insubordinate boys precipitated open rebellion, which extended over until to-day, after a num- ber of the rebels had been strapped. As the officers and guards of the insti- tution were greatly outnumbered by the boy inmates they feared that concerted action on the part of the latier would re- sult in a successful break fcr freedom, and the assistance of the Sneriff was invoked. Major J. T. Thompson was a favorite with the boys, who objecied much to Brady’s promotion to the rank of major, and took a rebellious way of showing their displeasure. The trustees of the school have been at the scene of the trouble since yesterday. They suspended Thompson because he was a favorite and Brady because he was not. To-day they reinstated Brady, but more shake-ups are promised and possi- ble further demoralization of the entire force. The whole business seems like a tempest in a teapot, for had the cffiders acted promptly it could have been suppressed before it attained the dignity of an irnsur- rection and made an opera-bouffe imita- tion of a recent State prison episode. —_— DOWNEY RANCHER ARRESTED. Charged With Abducting Miss Lee Mayne From Her Home Two Weeks Ago. LOS ANGELES, CAn. July 7.—John Foster, a rancher near Downey, was ar- rested to-day and locked up here, charged with abducting Miss Lee Mayne, the 12- year-old girl who told such a sensational story of being carried from her bedroom while asleep about two weeks ago. The Deputy Sheriffs and bloodhounds failed in their gearch for the abductor, but his victim now claims that it was Foster and that she recognized him. The girl swore to tue warrant. Foster professes in- nocence. e Sl PUKSUED BY AN EX-WIFE, Architect Stierlin of San Francisco Cawcer a Woman’s Arvest. LOS ANGELES, Car., July 7.—George Stierlin, a San Francisco architect, has two wives in Los Angeles, though one of them is an “‘ex.”” Theex-wife, Mrs, Emma Stierlin, came down to raisca row with her former husband: and the woman who had supplanted her in his affections. She went down to the Stierlin residence on Alvarado street and undertook to annihi- Inte tne other woman. A ielephone mes- sage was sent to the palice station for an officer to come and get acrazy woman, but when the patrol-wagon arrived she cooled down and appeared so sane that the officers would not molest her. Stierlin would not let the matter rest there, and he to-day swore to a complaint ciarging Mrs. Emma with disturbance. The woman claims she came here to find an absconding husband, but the latter says that she has no claim upen him, as a divorce had scparated them and cwul legally married to the woman living with bim on Alvarado street. Sealpers Cuiting Hates. LOS ANGELES, CiL, July 7.—Local travel to San Francisco is on tiie boom and ticket-scalpers are in high clover. The competition among the brokers has resulted in the cuiting of the one-way rates from this city to San Francisco down to $250 in some cas-x, the prevail- ing rate being $5. The m:jority of trav- elers who cared to come from the East to Los Angeles and had no intention of going further bought rickets to San Fran- cisco aL the same price and sold their pa teboards here for what they could get. The brokers will make a cut of §4 on east- bound rates. SAN DILGO wiiliaki¥ CHANGES, Infantry aand Batte: to Be Trans- ferved to Point Loma.

Miss Dingley fbandons H:r Maine Fiance, H:es Her to Bosion and Weds W. E. Hadley. AUBURN, Maixe, July 7.—There is surprise over the announcement of the marriage of Miss Lou Dingley, a niece of Congressman Nelson Dingley. Miss Ding- ley is about 30 years of age. She married W. E. Hadley of San Diego, Cal., at the Parker House in Boston last Thursday. It has been und rstood generally that Miss Dingley was to marry Arthur S. Melcher of Auburn. Arrangements had gone so far that Melcher had his home entirely renovated. Several weeks ago Mr. Hadley came East. Miss Dingley had met Hadley six years ago, when he was siopping at Poland Springs, and when he visited Ricker Hill this summer the acquaintance was renewed. It ripened 1nto a deter- mination to wed. Miss Dingley’s departure for Boston without apparent cause aroused the sus- picions of her parents and Mr. Melcher, for, on the afternoon of the day that Miss Diagley went awav her mother and Mr. Melcher leit for Boston, but returned seyeraldays later witnout her. Mr. Milcher admitted to-day that Miss Dingley has been engeged to marry him for some time. Miss Dinglev’s father is the neaviest taxpayer in Auburn.

The best briar root from which pipes Charged With Murder, and th: der on the entry-book at the City Prison. In view of the fact that members of the Young People’s Society of Christian En- deavor have flocked by the hundreds, even thousands, about the City Hall, Re- ceiving Hospital and jail during all of yesteraay, Knott, the only accused mur- derer since iheir arrival here, is assuming | the importance of a criminal star. The visitors are generally escorted by friends or members of committees, who give them the best there is to be had, and the newest in that line is Knott. Hence, the prison oilicizls are at their wit's end, trying to tell and retell the story of the killing of Knauver without deviating so much from the facts that it might inter- fere with the interest in t e yarn. The result is that undue requests are made to see the prisoner, who walks out of his cell bowed down with premature age and grief. He is but 52 years of age and weak minded. He wesps at all times, whether consolation is given or not, and steadfastly adheres to his declaration that he did not shoot Knauer. Knott is a native of Spain, but his early vears to youhg manhood were spent in France. In 1872 he came 10 this country, where he located in Wyoming. His hab- its there of wearing a broad sombrero and long-legzed boots stuck to him whea he came to California some ten years ago. He made his hivelihood by selling his medicines on the streets, claiming all sorts of rejuvenating properties for a hair- restorer. To listen to the tale he tells now in re- gard to the Knauer affair, he never shot off a pistol in his life. True enough, he knew Knauer, but he never felt aggrieved enough in connection with him to do more than utter a malediction. As against this Knauer staied to the newspaper men on Tuesday n'ght that Knott had followed him from his barber- shop at 32 Third street into Stevensen street, where he shot him in the bowels. Then again yesterday morning, when Knauer wes at the point of death, he pointed out Knott as the man who shot him. Ou this occasion Knott cried like a child and pieaded, *Joe, tell the truth; you know it wasp’t me.’”’ “Yes, you're the man!” exclaimed Knauer; “you followed me, and you shot me.”’ This statement was made immediately after an exireme operation performed by Drs. Weil and Rinne, during which it was found that the man was fatally wounded. The moribund was made aware of his con- dition betore he made this statement. Pro‘essor Knott's statement is to the ef- fect that he was in the company of Jacob Metzger, a cigar-dealer at Powell and O'Farrell streets, during the evening at aifferent times, and especially when the shooting took place. e also spoke to Soecial Officer Phil Potts, at about the same time. These statements, however, cannot be verified. Policemen Ryan and 0'Dea, who ar- rested Knott Tuesaay night, found a leather holster in Knott’s room at 7| William - street, yesterday, but have been unable to find the revolver. In answer to an inquiry as to why he should be accused of doing the shooting by a man who was about to die, Knott wept and said he did not know, excepting tha’ neariy three years ago he had caused the arrest of Knauer for striking him over the head with a cane, This beating, so says Knott, was the outcome «f a_quarrel of u few days pre- vious, wheu Knauer throw his (Knott's) little doz into the bay at North Beach.
