CHARGES WERE NOT SUSTAINED Mrs. Nettie R. Craven Vin- dicated by the Board of Education. THEN SHE RESIGNED HER PLACE. | She Gives Way Before the Per- sistent Persecution to Which She Has Been Subjected. AN OBJECT LESSON TO TEACHERS. School Directors Spend the Evening in Personal Bickerings and Dis- graceful Personalities, The expected sensation over the trial of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven before the Board of Education did not materialize last even- %, and, on the contrary, Mrs. Craven was entirely vindicate¢ of the charges gainst her. When the matter came up for a hearing report signed by Directors Ragan, Drucker and Armer was presented, recom- mending the charges be withdrawn and that no further action in the matter be taken. Then A. Ruef arose asattorney for Mrs. Craven and stated that as the charges had ‘been witharawn and Mrs. Craven vindi- cated she desired to resign her position in order to devote her entire time to the liti- gation in which she is now enzaged. He characterized the charges that have been brought against her as false ana the result of the persecution of influence and wealth, and stated that he had letters from a acterizing the statements contained therein as false and misleading in every particular. He called atfention to Mrs. Craven’s eichteen years of faithful service in her school and <tated ihat she severed her connection with the department with the greatest recret. Me then proceeded to read comm stions from those who fig- ure in the newspaper articie mentioned as follows: SAN FRrANCISCO, July 27.

NETTIE R. CBAVEN. Director Carew took occasion to say some nice things regarding Mrs. Craven and her career as a teacher, referring par- ticularly to the high standard of efficiency | into which she had brought the Mission Grammar School. i Later in the evening, on motion of Di- rector Ragan, the following resolution of nks to Mrs. Nettie R.

A resolution was passed suspending the transferring of pupils from July 29 to Au- gust 11, and caliing for a districting of the City for school attendance on or before Aungust 10, Levi W. Bowman, who was suspended as a teacher of the Hunters Point School, was reinstated in the department and placed on the unassigned list, the charges agninst bim being withdrawn. Under cover of a question of informa- tion esked by Director Head, Director Derham took “occasion to rake the *'selid nine’ fore and aft. He ref-rred tothe high- handed manner 1 which propesitions favored by the majority were carried through whether right or wrong, and said that if the vote as recorded by the secre tary on all matters of importance did not show the existence of a combination he could not see what it did show. He re- peated his charges that the majority were combined to run matters to suit them- selves. A number of the residents of the Ber- = nal School District sent in a communica- tion iadorsing Miss Hattie S. Wooll, teacher in the school, and asking that the board, in making changes, allow her to remain in her present position. The close of the meeting was marked by personal bickerings and recriminations, in which Directors Head and Waller took a prominent part. X+ MRS, BELL WINS. Her Son Is Not Entitled to a Portion of the Family Allowance. Mrs. Theresa Bell appeared in Judge Coffey’s court yesterdav to answer to the application of her son, Thomas Fred Bell, who demands a share of the family al- lowance of §50 a day. He says he is ex- cluded from proper participation in the proceeds of his father’s estate and that his mother, whe is administratrix, does not treat him fairly. . Mrs, Bell was accompanied by ber faith- ful friend, the noted colored woman. Mammy Pleasant, who came into public notice during the Sharon trial. 2 Attorney W. H. Schooler, representing voung Mr. Bell, said that 1t was evidently the intention of the father to provide for his son, as well as for the widow and the other children. Judge Coffey thought that when a child becomes of age the law contemplates that he shall sup- port himseli. He therefore thought it his duty to reject the claim of the young man in its present form, and it was so ordered. : Attorney Fisher Ames, representing Mrs. Bell, said he wished for an early hearing of the petitition which the young man had filed to have Mrs. Bell removed from her position as guardian of the minor children. [t was agreed that the matter should be taken up for trial about the middle of next month. Judge Coffey iniormed the attorneys that he had received a letter touching the affairs of this case si ned ‘‘Henderson.” 1t seemed to be similar to the note that was sent to Judge Slack when the litiga- tion was before him. Judge Coffey offered to give the epistle to the lawyers, at the same time assuring them that it was of no importance, and would cut no figure in the litigation, and would not influence the court in the slightest degree. BURGLARS FOR GONST All the Rooms Searched, but No Plunder Was Secured. The Commissioner Took the Precau- tion of Placing His Valuables in Safety. The police were notified late last night that the residence of Police Commis- sioner M. A. Gunst, 905 Hyde streer, had been entered by burglars. A citizen vassing the house heard a noise in the rear that attracted his atten- tion and knowing that the Commissioner s family were in Europe he thought uld make an investigation. He went along the alley that runs alongside the garden surrounding the house and saw two men scaling the fence in the rear. He at once notified the police and an officer was sent to investigate. He found the rear door and the door in the fence a he wo | open and lighting a candle he walked up- stairs, where he made an examination of the rooms. All the rooms had been entered by the two burgzlars and thoroughly ransacked for valuables, bus they haa their labor for their trouble, andi had to take their de- parture without any booty. Commissioner Gunst, before leaving on his European tour, took the precaution of packing up all* his silverware, bric-a-brac and family jewels and piacing them in a place of safety, where burglars cannot enter, and nothing was leit in the house except the furniture, carpets and similar household articles. The officer, after making his investiga- tion, securely fastened the doors, so that | the burglars, if they felt inclined toreturn for the furniture and carpets, would be made aware of the fact that their presence in the houte had become kncwn, Every effort wiil be made by the depart- ment to trace the burglars, and the officer who may succeed in capturing them will be fortunate, as he will be entitled to the commendation of the energetic Commis- sioner, which to an officer means a great deal. WHIRLED 70 IS DEATH Edward Olsen, an Engineer on the Tiburon, Accidentally Killed. He Was Busy Repairing a Broken Paddle When the Machinery Started. Edward Olsen, an engineer emploved on the San Rafael steamer Tiburon, died last evening in the Ferry Receiving Hospital from injuries received while repairing a broken paddle on the steamer yesterday afternoon. Thna deceased, his brother Charles Olsen and a deckhand named John Kline were teid early in the afternoon that a paddle needed repairing and that they must do the work. They went about their duty, anda in fear that the engines would start before they had completed their labors they braced the wheel with a strong piece of imber. The broken padale (or bucket, as it is called) was removed and Olsen stepped inside the paddle-box to adjust the new one when the engine started. Olsen’s brother shouted a warning, but it was too late. The timber placed to prevent the wheel revolving slipped and round it went. Olsen was caught and car- ried up against a brace and badly crushed. As soon as he could be rescued from his position he was taken to the Ferry Hos- vital for treatment. His hurts were past treatment, however, ana at 5 o’clock he died. The Coroner’s office was notified and the body was removed to the Morgue. The dead engineer was 41 years old and resided at Vallejo and Mason streets. Be- sides the brocher who witnessed his death the deceased leaves no relatives, Ehpo e o PICKPOCKET G_ONVI'OI‘ED. Joe Sullivan, Alias Moore, Earth in Santa Rosa. The police were notified last night of the arrest and conviciion in Santa Rosa of Joe Sullivan, alias Moore, one of the most notorious pickpockets that infested this City. During the carnival at Santa Rosa he attempted to pick a woman’s pocket and was caught in the act. A young man named Usher was with him at the time, and he was also arrested. - Usher turned State’s evidence. The jury was out only ten minutes. Sullivan has been arrested in this City on many occasions, but he also managed to escape conviction. Recently he got into a crowd on Third street and was caught robbing a man. He succeeded in making his escape, but left his hat and overcoat in possession of the police as ev- idence of his fizht for liberty. L e He Is a epublican. In & recent report of the meeting of the Board of Freeholders the statement was inadver- tently made that M. F. Taylor, one of the bosrd, wes a Democrat. Mr. Taylor emphati- cally denfes that heis a Democrat. He says he is & Republican, pure and simple, and he aoes not wish the public to be mistaken by be- Run to lieving that he hus any connection whaiever with the other political party. A PARDON EOR SWITH BUT WHY? Queer Surroundings of the Release of Rainey’s Nephew. KEPT A SECRET FOR TWO WEEKS. Made Public Only When the Governor Had Gone Away to a Resort. THE FAT BOSS IS BADLY RATTLED. Budd's Friends Say He Is Being the Victim of a Gold-Brick Political Game. The action of Governor Budd in pardon- ing Dave Smith, the notorious burglar, at the request of his uncle, Sam Rainey, seems (o have been a very curious affair. It was railroaded through uuknown to any of the prison officials. The pardon itself was granted on July 16, although no notice of it was given to the public until Tuesday morning last. There is no record of any formal application for the convict’s release to either the airectors of San Quentin prison or to the Governor him- self, and no definite reasons can be ob- tained from the files of his office for Budd’s action. Governor Buad is now at Klamath Hot Springs and of course is not available to the curiosity of his friends, who areata loss to explain his conduct. The order restoring Rainey’s kinsmai to liberty was made just previous to Budd’s departure for the Oregon health resort, and it is rather singular that no notice of it leaked out until the Executive was safely out of the way. It was made at u time when Warden Hale was away on a vacation and the Board ot Prison Directors bad ad- journed for a mouth. As far ascan be learned the Governor expressed to none of the proper authorities his intention of giving Smith an exit from the prison. It was done in the privacy of his own office in Sacramento, and when he had mada his escape on a vacation a cierk was in- structed to forward the order of pardon to the prison authorities. This in brief isa plain recital of the circumstances sur- reunding the matter. 1t was not the intention of either the Governor or Rainey that any publicity should be given to the affair.” No one re- grets this phase of it more than the boss himself. He was very much chagrined when he discovered yesterday morning that THE CALL bad uncovered the job. It was rumored also that the Governor had heard the noise even as far away as the Oregon line and had wired his patron to smooth things over es quietly as vossible. Rainey at first indignantly denied his re- lationsbip with the pardoned convict and was loud in his protestation that the nephew had been released through no efforts of his. However, he was pleased that Smith was about to be released, for be it known that the boss has a big~heart for his relatives, and the way matters are going with him at pres- ent in town he could very readiiy find a more pleasant occupation for bis nephew than spinning jute for Warden Hale. But the boss was ruffled. Heshowed it all day. The more the action of the Governor is probed the worse it ehows up. A faithfnl friend came to his rescue yesterday with the statement that Smith had been a mode! prisoner during his confinement. Nothing could be further from the truth, and if Governor Budd swallowed such a s«ory as this he oucsht to read up the pris- oner’s record. As a matter of fact, Smith was one of the worst prisoners that has been in San Quentin for many a day. In the three years of his incarceration Smith has been in the dungeons flive t mes for smuggling opium. He was one of the leaders in the recent prison revolt and assisted in the demolition of the dungeons, which cost him a thirty-day diet of bread and water. He had only been restored to his place at a jute loom when the Governor restored him to citi- zenship. His record previous to his con- viction in this City is bad. As a keeper of a dive on Howard street he was refused a license by the police. His associates were thugs and ex-convicts. His family are not in aestitute circumstances, as another friend of the Governor states. In fact there never was a time when Sam Rainey Was as Prosperous as now. Those who are best informed say that Budd in his Iu8t for office is willing to go to any length to serve the boss of thelocal Democracy. The man from Stockton wants either a second term of the govern- orship or Senator White's place at the next election, and the angel of his hopes is the fat Bush-street stable-keeper. Among the sweetmeats Rainey has se- cured is the appointment of School Direc- tor Waller to a place on the State Board of Puarmacy, School Director Drucker to a seat on the State Board of Dental Ex- aminers, George T. Bohen as president of the Board of Pilot Commissioners, and Charles A. Reynolds, one of the Police Court prosecuting attorneys, as a trustee of the Chico Normal School. And there are more to come, so it is said on the street, even though it would seem that the Governor had about overtaxed hisstrength when he pardoned “nepaew’’ Dave Smith. There was a story on the street last night that the crime of ransacking M. M. Estee’s house, for which Smith was con- victed on a charge of burglary, had bzeu committed at the instance of some of Budd’s political allies, who in this way hoped to discover in the Republican can- didate’s residence some document that would show that he was a railway attor- ney, and that Budd’s action in pardoning him is a simple payment of anold debr, 50 10 &p ak.
