He Drank From a Discarded Bottle of Carbolic Acid. San Leandro Parents Indignant at the Carelessness of Some Un- known Party. OARLAND OFrice SAN Francisco CALL.} 908 Broadway, Sept. 13. A little child in fearful agony was found on a piece of property owned by the Landersestate this atternoon. A boy with whom he had been playingz told some | people of the child’s suifering, and he was quickly recognized as Eddie, the two- year-old son of Captain Johnson of Roberts Landing. A doctor was sent for, and Dr. Rey- noids, who responded, saw at once that the child bad swallowed carbolic acid ana | proceeded 16 treat it accordingly. Eddie’s face and throat were fearfully burned and so was the outside of his face, but it is stated to-night that he will re- cover. The doctor savs the child swal- lowed a teaspoonful of the poison. A search was mude for the purpose of finding out how the child got hoid of the botile. It wa: found near where the lad wasdiscovered in agony, and was half-full woen picked up. Lattle Eddie, aithough too burned to speak, made them under- stand that be had found the bottle of poison while playing. There is no ciew to indicate who was careless enough to throw away such stuff where children could get it, and there was a regular indignation meeting among the parentsat San Leandro this evening. No one believes that any one willingly | put the carbolic acid in the baby's way, but there isa general feeling that such carelessness as throwing acid away is almost criminal, MISSING AGAIN. the Second T me Bessie Timler Disappear: ¥rom the Beulah Home.

OARLAND OFFIcE €AN FrRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 13. § The charges prelerred against County Clerk Jordan by Supervisor Roeth en- gaged the attention of the board tn:s afternoon. There was no investigation, because it was very apparent from the be- ginning that there was nothing to investi- gate, and there was some truth in Mr. Church’s remark that the affair resem:led a section of a circus more than a serious session. Mr. Roeth’s charges came to him through a very dubious path. “I was in- formed,” said Mr. Roetb, ‘‘that certain | contr.ctors of this city had been to the | County Clerk’s oftice and asked to see the plans for building an annex to the Re-l ceiving Hospital, and that they had been dented the use of such plans, and were told by some one in the Cierk’s office that it would be useless for them to bid, as the job had been already fixed in the inter- ests of a certain contractor. *'T do not know these things of my own knowjedge, but they were told me by my ity I have the full My wife was visiting the daughter of a contractor numed Mr. Weeks, and in course of conver-ation Miss Weeks stated that ner father had been refused the plans by the County Clerk and had also been told by some one in the Clerk’s office that it would be use- less for him to til, I do not know Mr. Weeks, but I know that these ladies told ',‘J“”" and I bhelieve everything they confidence. Mr. Weeks, although he had been sub- penaed, was not in the room, vut several other contractors who were supposed to b2 mixed up in the affair were present and they all testified that the Clerk’s office always hadeverything forthe convenience of contractors, and vigorously cenied that they had ever been put fo any incon- veunience or heard anything about com- tracts being fixed. Over nalf a dozen of them were sworn, and all told the same story, antil it le- | came monotonous. Frank Jordan, the County Clerk, was also sworn, ana made a | statement definitely denying everything | stated by Mr. Roetb. He said that he realized he was in a delicate position, as | Mr. Roeth had so placed the matter that he really found himse!f casting doubts on the statements of wort:y ladies with | whom he was not personally acquainted, but he was convinced that at some stage or othier in the course through which the information came to Mr. Roeth a misun- dersianding bad taken place and he was | anxious that his office should not suffer through it. Mr. Roeth inqnirad if Mr. Weeks had been duly subpenged, and Mr. Jordan re- plied that he had, and so it was decided to defer final action until to-night. Supervi-or Roeth brought his wife into the boardroom, and she told ber story, vut it was aifferent in some details to that of ner husband. After the matter was thoroug:ly dis- cussed the Supervisors passed a resolution g that there was no founlation dan. Oarsmen Who Have Entered for Races to Be Held on Sunday.

Supervisors Repeal the Smith Ordinance Passed Early This Year, The City Treasury Will Be Enriched Five Thousand Dollars An- nually. License Collector Bonnet won an im- portant victory before the Board of Super- visors yesterday when he secured the repeal of Order 3099, reiating to the sale of opium and all preparations of that drug. Under the law as ic now stands, this city will collect a revenue amounting to about $5000 per annum, where previously there was a question as to the legality of collecting anything at all from opium- dealers. Previous to July 9, 1897, the following ordinance was in force: Sec'ion 1. It shall be unlawful for any per- son or persons 1o sell, barter or exchange any smoking opium in the city and county of Si1n Francisco, except for scientific purposes or for medicinal purposes on the prescription of a ractical physician, without first procuring a icen: o thercfor in accordance witk tuis order. Such licenses shall bo known and designated as “opium-d:ulers’ licenses,” and any viola- ton of this order snall be a misdemeanor, and auy persoil violating any of the pro- visions hereof sha 1 be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor and be punished by a fine not ex- ceeding $500 or imprisonment not exceeding six monins in the County Jail, or by both such fine and imprisoument. [Persons knzaged i1 Selling Opium to Be Lt censel.] Sec. 2.

[Third Class.] Those doing business to the amount of not exceeding $3000 per quarter constitute the third class, and must pay $50 per quarter. the passage of an ordinance that ignored of opium, unless by physician’s prescrip- tion, a misiemeanor. Under the Swmith ecrdinance no license could be collected, and a premium was put on the illicit iraffic in opium. Whnen Collector Bonnet went into office he decided to enforce the ordinance of 1881, and notified the opium-dealers of this city that they must pav the license required by law. This action was taken on the advice of the City and County law of 1897 was invalid as it conflicted with the ordinance of 1881, The Smith ordinance, repealed by the board yesterday, is as follows: Section 1L.—The sele and use of opium, and any preparation thereof, in the City and County of San Francisco is h reby pronibite provided, that when a prescription duly is licensed physician shali indicate that the u of opium, or any preparation therscf, is ne essary for medicinal purposes, any regul iirensed druggists or poarmacists shall lorti- with canse u description of such preparation 1o be inscrited in a book, open at ail times to public inspection, showing the quauiity soid, the name and address of the person to whom and tor whom suld, aud the yame ana address of the physician prescribing the same; pro- vided, that wholesa.e and re:ail druggists may purchase ovium and any preparation thereof for tue purpose above provided; and, provided, that within ten days after uhe adop- tion or passage of this order all persons hav- ing opium or any preparation thereof in their stalement of all Such onium or preparations vis07s 1 nd the Chief of rolice, an! the oprum &nd preparatio. s tnereof coutained in sueh stalements may be sold to druggists, and such reg ster kept by them fir that pure poe, in the Eugiish language, the date, amount of every such sale made by them, and thename and place of business 01 the pu-- chaser, and ary persons who shall furnish tne information nccessary to secure a conviction for violation of any of the provisions of this order shall be ectitled to receive one half «f the fine coliected, and the officer collecting the sama shall pay it over to the person giving such information ondemand, and the remaln- ing one-half of the fine collicted by such officer + hall by him be paid into the city and connty tieAsury.
