M. H. Hazs=ll presided. A communication was read from the Lincoln Monument League asking the ap- vointment of a committee to confer with the league in the matter of the mulitary tournament at the Predidio on the 9:h of tember. No action was taken. The ticket committee was aliowed a stipulated im to cover the expenses of engaging | ticket-sellers. | Carleton H. Johnson, chairman of the general press committee, stated that the several parlors had been more active in the matter of sending in news of what each parlor intends to do. The committee on monument reported that all the arrangements for the dedica- tion of the Phelan fountain on Sunday next were completed, and a request was made that all members be notitied to at- tend the parsde at 11 o’clock on that morning to march to the place of dedica- tion. The Exempt and Veteran Firemen and the Ca rnia Pioneers were invited to take part in the parade. Mr. Bigley of Santa Rosa announced that all who intend to go to banta Rosa should send their names to Chairman Jones of the room committee, in order to obtain rooms, and that those who are to as aids should notify Chairman Me- Laughlin, who will secure horses for them.

This disposes of the theory that the man was murdered and then thrown into the water. It is be- lieved that tbe injuries to the skull were caused by the stroke of a propeller after the man was dead.

Rogers, the counterlfeiter, ap- | pearea before United States District Judge | de Haven yesterday morning for sentence, | be having pleaded guilty of having in his possession counterfeit coins and molds. | His attorney, T. W. Hubbard, made a plea for mercy on the grounds of the prisoner’s vouth, of the fact that he had pleaded ‘j guilty and saved the Government the ex- | pense of a trial, and that he had not had the advantage of proper training. Judge de Haven without any preface sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment at hard laborin the San Quentin peniten- tiary for four years. ‘William F. Rogers, father of the pris- oner, is now in the penitentiary serving a two years' sentence for having counter- feit molds in his possession. He was con- victed about three weeks ago, and on the trial young Rogers testified that he alone, at 6 Chesley street. This evidence did not save the father, for Dzputy United States Attorney Schles- singer adroitiy managed to get before the jury the fact that a few years ago the iather anit son had been tried for coining counterfeit nickels.

Judge Carroll Cook yesterday handed down his opinion in the caze of W. Rus- sell Ward, charged with adultery. He de- cided that mere adultery is not punish- abieas a crime under the law of this State, but that the statute under which pro- ceedings against Ward wera undertaken re- late to the living in open snd notorious adultery by two persons, each married to another. It would seem that the law contemplates the punishment of those who maintain such relations in a manner to bring the home life iuto disrepute, and that the casual illicit relations of visitors 1o any part of the State may not be in- quired into by the authorities.

In spite of the Mayor’'s veto of certain demands on the treasury and his state- ment thatall bills of thls kind are illegal unless the supplies were furnished under bids, the Auditor has gone on signing the stationery bills, believing that his judg- ment and knowledge of the law are the proper guides in such a guestion. At the same time he has been earnestly searching the consolidation act, by which this City is governed, in the hope of find- ing something that will place the matter bevond the shadow of a doubt. Yesierday he found that the law spe- cifically provides that the stationery of the City departments is to be paia for | out of the special fee fund, and the print- ing of official notices, reports and that character of work out of the general fund. Taken with the section of the law that says that supplies shall be furnished on the sworn requisition of the heads of the departments, the Auditor believes that there can be no further question of the meaning of the law. He thinks that this gmkes it plain that it was only the official dvertising and reports that the law in- Z W.NARTL, s 5ECRETAQ§ND % — =) satisfied.

HE FINDS MORE LAV, Auditor Broderick Now Sure That Mayor Phelan Ig Wrong, The Consolidation Act Reveals Sec- tions That Seem to Settle the Matter. Auditor Broderick has discovered what he thinks to be a fatal errorin the Mayor's interpretation of the laws regarding pub- lic printing and stationery, and feels more than aever secure in the position he has taken in regard to the matter. His idea has always been that ‘‘public printing,” which the law says must be let to the lowest bidder in open competition, means the publication of official notices and the printing of the municipal reports, tended to be let by bids, and that he has proven the Mayor to be in an erroneous position, foms o R i Soclety Personals.

ALL T0 SING [N ITALIAN Grand Opera Troupe From Mezxico Coming Here November 1. The Company Asks No Guaran- tee, hut Will Stand on Its Merits, Contracts Were Signed Yesterday. Several New Operas to Be Produced. The Italian grand opera company at present playing at the National Theater, Mexico, will open a season of grand opera at the California Theater on Novem- ber 1, and will produce during the season a number of important operas, some of which have never been heard in this City before. The contracts for the engagement were signed yesterday evening between Ed Bajeard, repre-enting the comvany, and Alired Bouvier, representing Al Hayman & Co. Del Conte, the impresario, made up the troupe in Milan, and brought all his scen- ery, costumes, etc., from Italy. Two rich men in the City of Mexico, one an Ameri- can named Harris, and the other a Senor Andrade, guaranteed all the money that Conte required for a season of seven months. No guarantee whatever is asked before coming here, as the manager says he has enough faith in his company to let it stand upon its mierits. All the singers are young, and among them are several rising stars of Italian opera. The reason that the National Theater company desires to play a San Franciseo engagement is that the usual operatic sea- son in Havana cannot be given this year on account of the unhappy condition of Cuba. The artists would not cross the Atlantic for less than a seven months’ en- gagement, and as a consequence the com- pany has a month or two which the Mexi- can engagements do not cover. The itin- erary mapped out afier leaving the City of Mexico is Guadalajara, Guanajaato, where a uew theater wili be opered by the troupe; Los Angeles, S8an Francisco and perhaps Denver, after which the opera company will return to the City ot Mex« ico in time for the carnival season. One of the pillars of the organization is Pietro Vallini, the chel d’orchestre, who enjoys great popularity in Italy, and who will bring an orchesira ot thirty Mexi- can professors. The leading tenor, Fran- cesco Collenz a native of Trieste, is also one of the mainstays of the troupe. There are a number of soloists, the best known among them being the aramatic soprano, Nina Mazzi; the light soprano, Cleopatra Vivini; the mezzo-sopranos, Adaalena Fanton and Benvenuta Polaco Drog; the baryiones, Cesare Cioni and Luigi Fran- imconl, and the first bass, Glovanni Sco- ari, The most important event of the season will be the production of Puccini’'s “La Bobeme,” which has never yet tecn played in the United States. It was first produced at the Scala, Milan, over a year ago, and created such a furor that it is billed for Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg and most of the otner leading European opera-houses during the coming winter. “La Gioconda,”’ Ponchielli’s best known work, will be one of the features of the repertory, and the same composer’s “Be trot ed” (I Promessi Sposi), toundaed o2 Manzoni’s well-known novel, will also be given. Verdi’s “Forza del Destino’’ (The Force of Destiny) will aiso have its initial San Francisco performance. This latter work is very popular in big opera compa- nies, but it requires an aimost double cast, $0 long is the iist of dramatis person. Among the other works to be performed are “‘La Cavalleria’” and ‘I Pagliacci’’ for the first time here entirely in Italian, Verdi’'s ¢Aida,” “Othello,” ‘Ernani,’”’ “Rigoletto,” *'Il Ballo in Maschera' ana many other works of the ltalian repertory. It isexpected that almost popular prices will prevail. GREENWALD'S PLAN, Bartlett Doe May Possibly Baild the Southern Manager a Theater. There is a possibility that a theater wili . soon be opened in the St. Nicholas Hotel building, and that it will enter into keen competition with the downtown houses. It is a pretty generally known fact that space was left for a theater when the St. Nicholas Hotel was erected and that only a short time would be required to trans- form the spot into a cozy place of amuse- ment. Manager Greenwald, the owner of sev- eral theaters in the south, has lately been inspecting the St. Nicholas site with a view 1o extending his southern circuit to San Francisco. Ilness compoailed him to leave the y before he had made any definite arrangements, but when last seen he had not decided to abandon the plan. Bartlett Doe, the owner of the propeat. when questioned on the subject yesterd said that he had entertained the idea of building a theater for Mr. Greenwald, but that nothing definite had vet been settled. *'No contracts have been made,”” he s “and it would be premature to say any- thing for publication at present.” FRAUDULENT IMMIGRANTS, Japanese Admitted From Viectoria on Forged Certificates of Entry. Walter P. Stradley, United States Com- missioner of Immigration, has returned from Victoria, B. C., wh he has been engaged in assisting in investigating cer- tain frauds in the shipping of Japanese immigrants over the line into this coun- try. There is no exclusion act agalnst the Japanese, they being on the same level with regard to a right to land here and reside in this country as the people of the most favored nations. But it bas been learned tbat the laws applying to the qualifications of all immigrants alike have been persistently violated, especially thosa against the admission of criminals and paupers. It was found that fraudulent certificates of admission had been issued to large numbers of Japanese and by that means large numbers of paupers and criminals had gained admussion to the United States. Mr. Stradley declined to make known the contents of his report, but it is known that he has made recommendations that will puta stop to any further violations of the law. e New bivorce Sui Suits for divorce have been filed in the office of the County Clerk as follows: Robert Munch against Catherine Munch, for eruelty. - Louisa Kersten against Frederick Karsten, for desertion and neglect.
