14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 SHOLLD i OVERI *APPOI He Asserts That San Fran- cisco Would Get Good | Supervisors. BEST THE CITY EVER HAD. Would Exercise the Appointing Power Himself and Not Dele- gate It to Others. SUGGESTIONS OF GOOD CITIZENS. Governor Budd Expresses the Opinion That He Has the Right to Fill Vacancies in the Board. Since the commencement of proceed- | ings in court to remove from office the present Supervisors for failure to fix water | rates in February the public has mani- | fested much interest as to the source of the appointing power to fill vacancies. The notion that the Mavor would have the power to fill the vacancies has been dispelled by some of the ablest lawyers, who advance the doctrine that the consti- tution and the laws clearly place the right to appoint in the hands of the Governor. Desiring to scertain whether the present chief executive would exercise the prerogative and to learn what kind of men would be appointed THE CALL sought an interview with Governor Budd last night. Governor Budd was asked the direct | question if he believed the power was | vested under the law in the chief execu- tive of the State to fiil ncies in the Board ot Supervisors of San Francisco. In response tothe gquestion he sai 1 believe the Governor has that power. In times past when vacancies in the board were filied by appointment of the Mayor 1 have wondered why the Governor did | not exercise his right to appoint.” | *‘Should Ir power 1o appoint be determined and shouid vacancizs ceevr in the present B Supervisors of San Francisco, would rcise the power 1o appoint or delegate the prerogauve to the Mayor or act in conjunction with others 10 fill the vacancies “I wou'd exercise the power myseli and not delegate it to any one,” replied the Governor. *I would listen to suggestions from good zens and take care to in- form myself as to qualifications and ability of the men recommended. I wou appoint men who would give the people of San Francisco, for fifteen months, the hest local government they ever had. I should regard myseli as responsible for their official conduct, and would thers- fore exercise my own judgment in mak. ing the appointments.” *You believe that you are fi bie as the Mayor to selec San Krancisco?”’ “‘Since you ask the question,’” renlied | ally as capa- Suvervisors for the Governor, -*1 will say that Ido. Iam not a candidate for office, and I would see | that the best men of the City were ap- | pointed, Look at my appointments so far.

Special Programme To-Night Honor of the Local Colony. Once again Rogers’ great descriptive fautasie, the *“Battle of Gettysbarg,” proved a big attraction at the Mechanics’ Fair. The San Franci.co Letter-carriers’ band volunteered its services and led the parade through the building. The pupils of the Horace Mann Gram- mar School, under the airection of Mrs, Josephine Gro, rtendered the *‘Star- | spangled Bauner”’ and afterward sang “Haii, California.” Senator John T. Morgan and daunghters have been invited to attend the fuir this | evening. In bonor of the French people of the City to-night has been set apart for |he|rv enlertainment at the iair.

It Will Not Materially Augment the Price to Dealers or Con- sumers. Owing to the increased duty imposed on foreign coal by the Dingley bill the coffers of the Government will, within the next | few months, be enriched to the extent of $50,000, the amount of tariff cue on the cargoes of several vessels now on the high ! seas, their prows turned toward this yort. | This amount of gold, under the Wilson bill, would have been lost to the Govern- ment, would have benefited no citizen of the United States, but wouid have been | added to the hoarded millions of the Wales colliery owners. Prior to the passage of the Wilson bill the duty on bituminous coal was 75 cents a ton. The Wilson bill reduced the du'y | to 40 cents on bituminous coal, and an- | thracite coal was pul on the free list. Now | that the Dingley bill is in force the auty | on bituminous coal is 67 cents, a raise of ! cents, and as the bill fails to note the difference between that quality and an- thracite coal, the duty placed upon it is | the same. ‘I'he added duty, however, if the opin- ions of many of the most experienced and largest dealers are correct, will in no way affect the con:wmer, and the losers will be the mine and ship owners. W. G. Stai- ford, when interrogated regarding the ad- | vanced duty, said: “The raise of 27 cents | on foreign bituminous and 67 cents on | anthracite coal will in no way affect the | price heretofore paid by consumers and retail dealers. The only influence I can see it will have on the market will be to in- crease the shipments of bituminous coal from Australia and curtail the importa- tion oi anthracite from Wales. he duty imposed would undoubtedly prove of great venefit if ithere were any jarge mines of good coal on the coast. The only mines west of the Rockies that amount to anything are in Oregon and Washington, and the quality of the coal is poor; in fact, it cannot be called coal. It is lignite, or coai in the embryonic tate, probably about 200,000 yeass too voung to be ‘ed coal. The output from these mines may be increased on account of the raise of duty on the foreign fuel, but when the coal reaches this State the price will be the same.” A. W. Cornwall, manager of a large coal importing company, agreed with the opinion of Mr. Swsfford, with the excep- tion that he savs any amount of bitn- minous coal is shipped every month from the Oregon and Washington mines. At the offices of R. Dunmuir’s Sons & Co. the same opinion is sharea, with the exception that they are unable to decide | whetber or not the coal from the north is bituminous or is simply lignie. There is room for argument, they say,and the only way to determine the question is to submit samples to some reputablc geolo- MORE DELAY FOR LAWRENCE. | The Accused in the Examiner Criminal Libel Case Still Absent, Judge Wallace, to whom was assigned the duty of hearing lawyers on the motion to dismiss the writ of prohibition which Jadge Seawell issued to arrest the trial of A. M. Lawrence in Judge Campbell’s Police Court, will hear final arsument and de- cide the question next Friday. The lawyers of the Examiner have been constantly pleading for delay and asking for postponement cn one pretext or an- other. The point at issue is whether Lawrence, who was arrested for criminal ibel on complaint sworn to by Claus Spreckels, shali be present in court dur- ing his examination. The Examiner law yers contend that renresentation of ac- cused by counsel is sufficient, but the law says that the witnesses must be examined in the presence of defendant. The question was to have been settled in | Judge Wallace’s court yesterday, but more delay was granted on the ground that Lawrence, who was reported io be ! hurt by falling from 2 bicyele, coul! not be present in the police courtif Judge Campbell should be free to proceed with tne examination. The criminal proceed- ings against Lawrence were instituted be- cuuse the Exariiner lawyers refused to ac- cept service on Hear<t, who was supposed to be the responsible man of the Exam- iner concern. 2 DTSN For St. Brendan’s.

The West of Castro Street Improve- ment Ciub Send a Petition to the Supervisors. The West of Castro Improvement Club held an interesting meeting at Jud- son’s Hall last evening, which was well atiended. Owing to the absencs of Cap- tain R. W. Anderson, the club’s president, who left for Alaska vesterday, W. E. Nixon occupied the chair. Strong resolutions wer: adopted, where- in the club called the Supervisors’ atten- tion to the urgent need of a scuoolbouse in their district. The secretary was ordered to transmit a copy of them to the board, and it is hoped that they will act immediately, as there are seven classes without shelter, 5 jor McKinne gave an inieresting ac- count of what the charter committee, of which he is a member, has been doing, nd throughout his long speech he was listened to with ureat interest. The oft-recurring question of the Mis- sion zoo was touched upon at one siage of | the meeting and the following resolution In the event of ihe Super- visors tavorably considering the proposi- tion of purchasing a site for a new Mission park end Zolog.cal gardenstiat the West of Castro-street Improvement Club recom- mends the Gumtree Truct us the most desirable ior the purpose.”” This resolution brought on a long de- bate, in which the members took part. F. E. Hakney spoke st:ongly in favor of W. W, FOOTE I Haunted by MR ENGLISH 15 HOT ON THETRAIL a Three Nights’ Dream cf a Gold Mine, and W. D. ENGLISH Is Looking for the Mine Up by the Trinity River. to follow ! | the Trinity Mountains trying the clew thai was brought to Foote while there by one of the mystic wraiths that visit sleeping men. This particuiardream | came three times—a golden vision where a field of placer ground gleamed with nug- geis, and Mr. Foote took great joy in watching himeelf (a feat not voucusafed i by people who are awake) kicking these | nuggets from the virgin earth. It was| with a sense of relief that he came 1o life again, for he had acquired an auriferous | load so burdensome 'hat the carrying of | it made him tred. Yet as he looked | about him and rubbed his lids he was heard to sigh. Mr. Foote did not tell his dream then, but his mind recurred to it. The next night it came to him again—the same glittering sana, warty with yellow nug- gets—and once more he loaded himsell with a phantom store. Waking he sighed more heavily than before. Mr. Foote is not superstitious, as hereinbefore stated, alveit be believes that to secure passes for W. J. Bryan 1s a sign of hard luck, and he is a man of action. When the vision a third time aroused within him an un- wonted lust for pelf he determined to find that gold. Forth strode he boldly and when he came back at nignt the only gold he had was a trifle in his teeth, which with him. The only thing he found out of the ordinary was a camel, and etriving to get near enough to touch the hump of the same as a silent and non-superstitious appeal to the goddess of fortune tedis- cerned that the camel was a burro and the hump transitory. Business brought Foote back to the City. Apparently he was encumbered only by the usual amount of baggage, but in bis breast was a secret. There he bud filed away a map of his placerclaim, with all its dips, spurs and angles. He even grew familiar witha lone pine tree stand- ing at one corner, and felt on friendly terms with a stump that sprawled its roots into a very treasure vault of nuggets. The placer claim is a reality. All there is. Mr. Foote knows a good thing when he sees it, and he did not propose to let the map iade and someboay jump his placers. In a moment of inspiration he took Enghsh into bis confidence. This was when the excitement recently broke out in Trinity, and Foote naturally feared that stakés would be set up on his prop- erty. The thought oppressed him. “The one superstition which Euglish ad- mits is that when the Democratic plum tree is shaken failure to be under it with inverted hat is a sign that piums are going to waste. So, as a hard-headed man of affairs he was much struck by the second- nand effect of Foote’s three-ply dream. Away he went to the Coffee Creek coun- try, and he’s chasing along the gullies there, his eye alert for a tree shading the richest placer groand in the world. He is sare, if the tree doesn’t identify the place, the stump will, and the gold will abso- lutely :ettle the business, anyhow. He and Foote will divide. *It's easy enough to dream, Bill,” he said te the original lo- cator, *‘btit I've got to do the hustling.” “See here, Bill,”” responded the lawyer, “if you find anvbudy else working my placer giound we'll have to fight the case in court, ana that’s no snap.”” ' After more talk they dec:ded upon an even whack. A little later English began to laugh, and Foote asked him what the matter was. “Bill, by thunder!’ answered English, the resolution, and in the course of his re- merk- said : I don’t propose to work for anybody el<e if I can helpit. I think the Gumtree Tract the best place for the park. It wil! benefit us, 1t will benefit the Mis- sion and it will benefit the people right around here. If we don’t look out for ourselves no one will look out for us, and therefore 1 am in favor of this park. We don’t want to see flower gardens; we want to see instructive things; we want to go to a nlace where we don’t nave to pay car- fare.” Major B. H. McKinne, who is thn vce- president of the Mission Park and Zooloz- ical Association, spoke against the reso- lution. He sai Alihough I am in favor of the park and zoo I am notin favor of anybedy’s land who is going to put a high price on it. I think the Gumiree land and the Jewish Cemetery tract is offered at three iimes too high, I don’t know the value of any of these tracts that are offered and I am not acquainted with the land. I do know _that there is land in this section that the Board of Supervisors auvertised for bids and it could be condemned and oblained at a ‘much lower price.” Adtier all this discussion the resolution was putin the form of a motion and voted down. A few minor martters were trans- acted and the meeting adjourned. FINEST IN THE WEST. The New Show Windows of Roos Brothers. A Qostly Addition to Kearny-Street Attractions. The truiy ideal clothing-house 1s not alone an establishment where high-grade clothing can be bougnt at a reasonable fig- ure, but where gentlemen accustomed to finely tailored garments made to order can get perfect satisfaction in fit, style and quality, besides being completely outfittea in ‘he latest hats and hab.r- dashery. Of large and elaborate establishments San Francisco probably has more than Any city of its size in the Union, vving with one another in the magniticent dis- play of th-ir goods, ana in the original manner of attracting public notice. While the press must always be the mainstay of any business depending upon the general public for its revenue, the show window is a valuatle and almost necessary advertising adjunct. The quarters occupied by Roos Bros. at the corner of Kearny and Post streets have been undergoing comblete exterior alterations, and now present one of the finest exhibition fronts on the coast. This foremost house in its special line need have no fear of successful competition in the way of window displays. The re- modeling has been confined not alone to that part immediately noticeable to the public, but throughout the establishment changes have been made for the accommo- dation ot the rapidly increasing business. | The result shows that expense hus been a secondary consideration.

THE TEXTBOOK MATTER TAKEN UP Movement to Bring Them to Answer Before the Bar of Justice. THE LAW PLAIY, WITH N0 EXCUSE. Attorney John A, Wall Will Not Abide by the Action of the Iroquois Club. The Supervisors need not be lonesome very long as defendants in an action to oust them from office, for in a few days complaints will be filed against the equally malodorous Board of Education to remove them for malfeasance in office and a will- ful and shameless violation of the law in the matter of school textbooks. John A, Wall, a prominent member of the Iroquois Club, has taken the matter in hand and has already requested the club 1o take some action. The refusal of the club last night to condemn or to ex- press any opinion about the matter has not quieted the voice ot public indigna- tion, and Mr. Wali will not abide by the negative action of the Iroquois. He realizes that this is not a political matter, but one which cuncerns all the veovie. Mr. Wall said last night that the offense ot the Board of Education was more glaring than that of the Supervisors and that it would be much easier to oust them, for the Directors have not the snadow of even a technical excuse. *‘Superintendent Webster made arecom- mendation to the board,”” said Mr. Wall, “‘and the board entered actively into the matter, and when the report of the com- mittee on course of study was amended and came up for final action, the book called ‘Hear. Culture’ was mentioned in the report as a desk book for the use of the teachers only. Then a committee of three was appointed and the proposed courss of study was referred to them. When tbat committee made its report, ‘Heart Culture’ was down as a textbook for the pupils. *“The proposition that I make is this: That when a man is nominated by 4 party, whether it be the Democratic or the Re- publican, the party that nominates him should say to the people, ‘We guarantee this man; that he will give the people good service.” “The Board of Education have vlaced themselves in such a position that they can be turned out of office with greater ease than can the Board of Supervisors. The Iroquois Club will do nothing in the matter and has placed itseif on record. he law which tie School Directo: have violated is plain. It is found in two places; firstin section 7 of article IX of the constitution of the State of California: Article IX, section 7. The Governor, Super- intendent of Public Instruction and the prin- cipals of the State normal schools shall consti- tute the Siate Board of Education, and shall compile, or cause to be compiled, and adopt a uniform series of textbooks for use in the common schools througlout the State. The Siate board may cause such textbooks when adopied to be printed and published by the Superintendent of S'ate Printing, at_the State Printing Office; and when so printed and vublished, to be distributed and sold at the cost price of printing, publishiug and distrib- uting the same. The textbooks so adopted snall continue in use not less thun four years and said State board shall periorm such other duties as may be prescribed by Iaw. The Legislature shali provide for & board of edu- cation in each county in the State. The county superintend-nts and county boards of education shall have control of the examina- tien of teachers and the granting of teachers ceriificates within their respecuve jurisdic- tions. ‘“‘Here is the law as it appearsin the code,” said Mr. Wall: Political Code.'section 1874—In the adoption of textbooks all county, ci'y, and cily and county Boards of Education shall be governed by the following rules: 1. Any books hereafter adopted as part of a uniform series of textbooks must be continued in use 1or not less than four vears. 2. No change of textbooks must be made at any other time than in the months of day or Juiie of the year in which the change is mude; and no changes shall be made to take cffect untii the begiuning of the school term com- mencing after the thirtieth day of Juue of that year. 3. At least sixty days’ notice of any pro- posed change in textbooks must be given by ublication 1u & newspaper of general circu- ation published in the county, if there be one, in which such change is to be made. If there be Do newspaper published in the county, then such pubiication shall be made ' in any newspaper having general circulation in the county. A copy of the newspaper con taining such pub- lication with such notice marked must imme- diately afier the first publication thereof be by tue secretary of fhe board transmitted to the State Board of Education, and the same, when received, must_be filed by the secrelary of said State Board. = Said notice shall state what textbooks it is proposed 10 change; that seaied bids OF pro- posals will be received by the board for fur- nishing books to replace them; the place where and the day and hour when all bids or proposals will be opened, and that the beard reserves the right to reject any and all b ds or proposals. Said notice shall be pubiisued in such newspaper as often as the same shall be issued after the first publication thereo. etc. “Four of the directors admitted to the Iroquois committee that they had violated the law, but they wleaded ignorancs. Iunorance of the law is no defense in cases of this kind, as the directors wiil find out when they go before the court.” Last night the committee appointed at the previous meeting of the Iroquois Club made its report on ihe resolutions pre- sented by Mr. Wall condemning the action of the School Directors in the text- book outrage. The report was that inhe resclntions be not passed. g A blush wag seen to sweep across the face of Allan G.

For Many Months the Aged Pioneer Has Been Suffering From Melancholia. A Leading Merchant and Politician of Oakland for Many Years. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 3. After a long and successtul life Solomon M. Babbitt, capitalist, politician and pioneer, injured himself with suicidal in- tent last night and died at noon to-day. S. M. Babbitt was over 73 years of age and for the past three years he had been in {ailing health, During this period he had been very despondent and had frequently expre:sed a desire to die. He was closely waiched by an attendant, but last evening he eluded his keever and went to an attic-room. After placing a line tbat was attached to a beam around his neck | he plunged a carving-knife into his abdo- i men and drew it upward toward the | breastbone. The wound was necessarily | fatal and after languishing eighteen hours he dieu. Mr. Babbitt resided with his family in a handsome home on Webster street. Since his attacks of melancholia commenced ke Las never been left alone, but yesterday, with all the cunning of a lunatic, he se- creted a knife about his person and waited | for a change to go upstairs. He was | found by kis attendant a few minutes after being missed, but he had laid his plans for suicide with great care, and when discovered was gasping for breath. Three physicians were summoned, and they at once pronounced the wound fatal. Even had Mr. Babbitt been a young man he couid not possibly have rallied, as the sharp point of the knife had penetrated | several organs. The ropearound his neck | did not help to produce death, as it was | too siack. It merely prevented the suicide from dropping to the floor after cuuting himself. Babbitt was a man who was very fond of his home, was well fixed financially, and had no reason for ending his life. S. M. Babbitt was one of California’s early pioneers. He was born in Austin- burg, Ohio, in August, 1824, He went | to llinois in 1837, and a few years later, on the deata of nis mother, he came to this State. He crossed the plains in | prairie schooners, and the first town at which he located was Hangtown, where he engaged in mining for a while. Some time later, having been lucky, he returned to Illinois and invested in farm- ing property. Duaring the rebellion he was United States Marshal at Algonquin. In 1869 he returned to California with his family. He located in Oakland and established himself as a wholesale commission mer- | chant. He was in partnership for some | years with Z. T. Gilpin, now City Treas urer, and ex-Councilman Walter G. Man- | uel. When this firm was dissolved Mr, ! Babbitc went into business with Anson | Baratone. | When the California Bank was organ- | izéd a few years ago Mr. Babbitt was one of the large stockholders and was after- ward a ‘director and vice-president. He | served a term in the City Council about ten vears ago and was one of the best classed commercial men in this city. A wife and two married daughters sur- | vive the Ceceased.
