The new Board of Supervisors revsls in figures, and the task of formulating a tax levy seems to be to its liking. board met yesterday morning and re- Ived itself into a committee of the whole, with Mr. Denman in the chair, pervisor Barrv was the oniy absentee h and police, import still laid wasted in settling down to opportunity lost to sla:h aies furnished by the Auditor or made by the representatives cf various branches of the municipal government. The first matter taken up was the Fire Department estimates. Chief Sullivan was on hand to support the claims of the department. Last year $674,000 was ap- propriated. As the Legisiature increased Fire Department salaries to the extent of $114,500, the board, aiter considerable dis- cussion, estimated tbat 3,000 wouid be necessary to conduct the department the coming year. The Mayor stated that the Chief had re- ceived assurances from insurance compa- nies that rates in the business section of the city would be reduced 10 per cent if the paid Fire Departmént, as provided for by the Le:islature, was established. Clerk Ru was instructed to communicate with the underwriiers about the matter. Superintendent W. R. Hewitt of the fire- alarm sysiem wanted many things, but was allowed but few. He desired tospend §51,000 for a station in the City Hall dome, §18,080 for maintenance and $19,000 tor salaries. Supervisor Clinton could not see any joke in spending this amount of money, und on his motion the whole appropria- tion for fire-alarm purposes was set al $45,- 000. Of this amount $10,000 is to be ex- yended in the work of placing wires under- ground. Dr. Williamson, superintendent of the County Hospital, was the next offi- cial to appear velore the board. The ¢ tor wanied an appropriation of $113,816 on which to co..duct :he institution. Last vear $95,000 was allowed. Chairman Den- man said that when he was a Supervisor several years ago $80,000 was considered sufficient for the institution. Supervisor Rotianzi favored an appropriation of $80,- 000, declaring that there was always a preat deal of money wasted atthe nuuph tal. All of the BSupervisors said tney fuvored a liberal appropriation for the hos- pital, but they wanted to be certain that the inmates would derive the benefit of it.

He wanted §1500 ior drawing paper and got $1000. He siazgered the board by asking for | B! | 1 1 | Almshouse and asked that | was U st cut from | clorets. After the board tired of discu- matter, Clinton’s moton that allowed for repairs and $90,000 for muainte- nance and salaries was carried. A recess was then taken until 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon. During the recess the new City Fathers visited Governor Budd at the Palace Hotel. Chief of Police Lees appeared at the opening of the afiernoon session. He proved a successful advocate for his de- partment. Everything he asked for was granted, and the board even went fur- ng the 5000 ther. He was allowea §7200 for contin- gent expenses, $6000 for rents and repai of station« 500 for police-patroi ser- vice, and $718,614 for salaries. He informed the board that a great deal of money could be saved the city by stabling its own horses, and suggested the ouilding of a new station-house and stable on a big piece of city property at Eight- eenth and Folsom streets. The board favored bis sugeestion by allowing $50,000 for the buildings aesired. Captain Reddy appeared in behalf of the 30,000 be set aside for it. He declared $77,500 insutn- cien'. After a bit of discussion Mayor Phelan asked about the duties of the in- spector of the poor. This is the position created by the last board for ex-Supervisor E. C. Wagner. The duties were not defined to the satis- faction of the Mayor. He declared that it should be aboiishied. As Wegner 1s draw- ing $100 a month, the Almshouse appro- priation was set at $78,800. The Board of Supervisors would b.ve aliowed the $80,- 000 asked, if the Board of Health, which created the office of inspector of tne poor, would abolish 1t. School Director Waller wanted money galore for the School Department. As chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Education, he furnished the Supervisors w the estimates. amounts he asked for were excessive in every particular. If $500 was needed for a certain purpose, he would ask for $1000, and take cnances of the board allowing his ciaim. He maintained that the School Depart- ment could not get along with a cent less than $1,132,045 for the salaries. Chairman Denman contended that too many teach- ers were being employed. It was shown that thirty-six substitute teachers are em- pioyed at a salary of §40 a month, and that they only labor on an average eight days in a month. Schooi Superintendent Webster admitted that the number of substitutes could be reduced to fifteen without in any way crippling the depart- ment. He also declared that many classes could be consolidated, thus saving money to the city. Denman stated that there were 100 more teacuers in the department than were needed. On Supervisor Clinton’s motion the salary estimate was fixed at §1,122,000, a cut of over $10,000 on the amount asked. Before the motion carried the Board of Education was warned not to create a de- ficit by applying this money to any rur- pose but that of paying salaries. The Mayor had the one-twelfth nct read addressing Walker said: “We have in- voked the law and we find you can be im- veached for creating a deficit. This money must not be squandered on sup- plies.” For a board of examiners of the School Department $900 was aliowed. Waller asked $6000 for stationery for poor chil- 5,000 for furni:ure for the Mission High ime was wasted in cutting Another poser was a request v janitors’ supvlies. This was cut 10 $2000 For the purchase of globes maps $3750 was asked and $2000 al- ved. The board thought $300 worth of age stamps would do the depariment instead of $360 worth. For fuel 000 was allowed, and for tele- phoning $865. Sunpliestor cooking classes 0 to $1000, advertising zbting evening schools for $00( and from $500 to $100, from $7200 to $5500, printing from § . expenses for school census from $6500 to §5000, incidentals from §2000 to $1:0), vainting and whitening from $17,000 10 $9000. The board thought the City and County | Attorney could look afier the School Board’s’ legal affairs, and refused to allow $1000 for counsel fees. For repairng roofs, planking and bi- tuminizng $36 000 was allowed. For huild- schoolrooms $23,000 was v $2000 allowed. Director Waller wanted only $86,000 for the replacing of old vaunlts with sanitary Oaly 000 was granted. The next sum Le wanted was $2000 for new farniture for the rooms of the Board of | Education. The sum was not ailowed. When Cu an Denman Leard the re- quest for electric fire gongs he nearly fell into a fit. *“We have got along about forty-seven years without them,” said he, “and I think we can get along without them for a while longer.” It was notaliowea. The request for $2400 for physical culture instructions was aiso denied. The board, acting on the ficures of Su- periniendent Webster, allowed $90,500 for permanent improvements. Most oi this money will be used in enlarging and build- inzthe Buena Vista, Richmond, Madison, Sutro, Sunnysite and Mission - road scliools The slashing of estimates continued through the eyening session. The Asses- sor asked for $75.000 for the pavment of exira deputies. The application occa- sioned Supervisor Clinton to say that tne Assessor had willfully presented corpora- 1 witn 0,000, and then desired $75.000 to pay deputies to go among the puurer classes and ascess their property at s tull vaiue. He stated that the property ni the Martet-street Railway Company was worth ,000,000 yet it was assessed for oniy $4,500,000. Chairman Denman could not understand why it required two deputies to visita house for the purpose of leaving an assessment blank. On Barry’s recommendation the matter was laid over until to-day in order to give the Assessor an oppuriunity to make an ex- vlanation. County Clerk Curry asked $133,000 for extra deputies in his office. Mayor Phelan declared that by law he was only entitled 10 $68,400. He said the clerk was making exira appointments by virtue of the act of April 2, 1880, and "the act of Feuruary 14, 1891 The latter applies to cities and counties having over 125,000 in- habitants. He said the acts were void. A ion was then made allowing the clerk $75,000. The District Attorney asked $21.803 for the payment of deputics. The Mayor de- clared the exira deputies were appointed in the Disiric: Attornev’s office by virtue of the ac: of March 2, 1891, and that it was void. He said that $14,300 wes all that he was entitled to, but on' mot10n$17,500 was al- lowed. The board refused to avppropriate $1200 for a Game Warden and §1800 for a Gas Ia spector. It is hardly likely that anybody will now app y ‘or the positions, The estimate cailed for $27.500 fortjani- tors’ salaries. After considerable argu- ment it was reduced to $25,000. A janior at $900 was cut off the estimate for the Justice:’ Courts. The Mayor favored the cutiing down of the force of depuiies in the Liceuse Collector's office. He favored reducine the force from thirteen to nine, and his recommendation prevailed, This ~aves the city §4800. The board thought it should practice economy in its own office, so it shortened the staff of clerks and reduced the salaries of several, saving §3300. Clerks Farquar- son, Thompson and Ryan were allowed flau a month and Cierk Tomaltv’s salary was cut to $125 a month. Three other clerks were provided for at $100 a month, They had been receiving $150 a month. Dr. Morse appeared before the board in bebalf of the Board of Healtk. He asked $125.000 for that devartment, and Super- visor Rottanzi objected to many items in his sehedule, Finully a committee composed of Rot- tanzi, Britton and Biggy was appointed 1o nvestizate the needs of the Uepart- ment and report to the hoard to-day. All salaries of city officials and clerks that were provided by statute were of course left alane. As soon as a motion w:s made to ad- journ until this morning Supervisor Rot- tanzi arose and presented a resolution which occasioned a storm, and led to the majority of the board intimating that as soon as the opportunity pres-nted itself the heads of nearly all of Boss Rainey’s men would fall to the baske:. The resolution was to theeffect that the board would not remove anv emplo yee of the city government except for canse. It was tabled by a vote of 6 to 4. Thosein favor of tabling were Dodge, Dresba ch, Fortman, Biggy, Clinton and Denman. The Mavor in speaking of the resolu- tion said, “It is not our desira 1o perpetu- ate in office men who owe allegiance to a political boss.”” NO HELP FOR THE OUSTED. Writ of Review Applied For by the Old Board of Supervisors. The ousted Supervisors were defeated in the Supreme Court yesterday. They hoped to procure a stay of proceedings by a writ of review, but the court promptly denied the application. Meanwhile they are making a show of exercising official power by lLolding sessions in the commit- tee room adjoining the clerk’s office of the Board of Supervisors. They handle petitions and sign demands for several sums of money, but there is no sign that either the Auditor or Treasurer will pay any attention to demands so allowed. If the intrusion of the ex-members at the office of the board should become an unbearable nuisance, steps may be taken to deny them admittance. The writ of review asked for has been denied. All that now remains is a direct appeal. Even if the transcripts are filed at once and the proper forms gone through with it is doubtful if any de- cision would be had for two years. A powerful fact in connection with the case is that the new boarc are de facto of- ficials, engaged in the performance of their duties, and all acts or measures taken by them cannot fail to be recoenizad as valid by the Supreme Court. The oid board is dead. The Supreme Court, writ, had this to say: The petition for certiorari to review the judgment of the Superior Court removing the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco from office in a proceeding under the provisions of the actof March 7, 1881 (Stats. of 1881, p. The writ must be denied. The facts alleced disclose no excess of jurisdiction, and error in the proceedings, not involving excess of jurisdiction, {f there was such crror, cannot be reviewed by certiorari. Ex-Supervisor Haskins said last even- ing thai it makes no difference whether the Supreme Court has denied the writ of review or not, the battie for the old board to hold their positions would be carried on for ten vears if necessary. ““We have got no stay of proceedings in the matter,”” he said, “'but that makes no difference at all, because our appeal to the Supreme Court will doubtless be filed in the morning, and I understand from our in denying the | attorneys that it will act as a stay of pro- ceedings itself. It was a foregone conclu- sion that Wallace would decide as he did, and we were prepared for it. “The affairis all the maneuvering of the Mayor, and we have get into this trouble simply from following his advice. That | Judge Wailace was aiso concerned in it is shown by the fact that the Mayor placed the name of Nougues forward for appoint- ment.” IROQUOIS CLUB COMMENDS BUDD Decides to Celebrate the Undo- ing of the Supervisors in Mass-Meeting. The Iroquois Club met last night and decided to celebrate the undoing of the late Board of Supervisors. A mass-meet- ing for that purpose will be held next Wednesday evening in Metropolitan Hall. James J. Flvan, Max Popper, J. H. Dignan, Hueo K. Asher and William McMann were appointed to act as a com- mittee of arrangements, Several speeches were made denunci- atory of the late solid eight, and a stirring resolution was adopted, in which Governor Budd and Mayor Phelan were congratu- iated for seiecting Messrs. Dodge, Clinton, Rottanzi,Lackmann and the other promi- nent citizens to make up the new board and “emancipate the city Irom thrall- dom, bossism and boodieism.”” Judge Wallace ana George K. Fitch were aiso complimented by resolution. THE DRAW IN LAW. Interesting Decision Rendered by Superior Judge Belcher. The Contract Is Not Complete by the Fighters and Bettors Oan Recover Their Money. Harry Corbett will probabiy be com- pelled to repay Jacob Werner the $480 which he recently wagered on the Sharkey-Maher fight, which turned out to be a draw. Whien Werner brought his suit a de- murrer was interposed by Corbett in which he said that Werner could have no recourse at law, because the contract he entered into when he placed his money on the fight was unlawful, as against pub- lic policy; the contract being void, he contended that Werner could not recover the money. Werner responded that as the match resulted in a uraw the contract had not been completed ana that he had the priv- ilege of withdrawing from the agreement at any time he chose 1o do so. In passing upon the demurrer Judge Belcher heid that Werner’s contention was good, as in law it was necessary to com- plete the contract, that the subject-matier of the contract should be completed and the result be publicly announced. “In the case at bar the result had not become generslly known,” said Judge Beicher, “ior the contest was a ‘draw’— that is, neither party won. In law the averment 1s tantamount to an allegetion that there was no contsst, and so, logi- cally, there was not, because no result was announced.”’ Corbett has the privilege of amending his complaint if he shall be advi ed so to do, but attorneys generally consider that Judge Beicher’s ruling on the demurrer was the litigation so 1ar as the Superior Court is concerned, and a Supreme Court decision will be required to establish the law on this point in gamblin, R S Ex-Queen Going to Church.

GUPID ON THE TIVOLI STAGE Elvia Crox and William West Engaged to Be Married. The Lady Has Commenced Suit | for Divorce From Thomas Q. Seabrooke, The Fair Fiancee Will Leave for the | East on Monday to Fulfill an En- gagement in Philadelphia. Elvia Crox Seabrooke. who for the last season has been enchanting the audiences at the Tivoli Opera-house by her clever work, yesterday commenced divorce pro- ceedings against her hushand, Thomas Q. Beabrooke, and just as soon as her divorce is granted she will marry William West, also of the Tivoli. This application for a complete divorce bas been expected for some time past, fact it was at one time stated that she was about to seek freedom 1 order to marry Ferris Hartman; however, as Mr. Hart- man already has a wife and child in the East the rumor fell through, and Mrs. Sea- brooke laughed in her sleeve, for the track was lost, and nobody except their closest friends suspected that the happy man would be West and not Hartman. ‘When seen by a CaLL reporter yester- day, Mrs. Seabrooke admitted the soft im- peachiment. “Yes; yvou can say that Mr. West and myseif will be married as soon as I can secure my divorce. 1 have insti- | tuted proceediags here and will do soin the East as well. You see my season is over here this week and I will leave for Philadeiphia Monday to fuifill an engage- ment with the Castle Square Opera Com- pany. After that, if the gods are good to me and | get my divorce without any trouble, Mr. West will join me somewhere | out of this State and we will then be mar- ried. “The only trouble I snticipate is that Mr. Beabrooke will turn stubborn and not allow me an absolute divorce. You see I would not allow him one when he wanted it and he could not get it without my con- sent, for we are both Catholics. How- ever, I don’t think there will be much trouble on that score. I suppose you heard the rumor that Mr. Hartman and myself were engaged 10 be married. Wasn't it funny? ilow we laughe: over it! Why, Ferris Hartman never paid me any particular attention that I am aware of, and to pair us off was the silliest thing I ever heard of. “How I suall hate to leave Cslifornia, S8an Francisco in particular, for I have been so happy here. I little thought that I should find my fate waiting for me way off here, but I did, ana now I'm so very happy. Will is a lovely fellow, and so clever, don't you think so? Every one does. Well, [ must leave vou now. If I don’t see you again before I zo, good-by. And smiling bappily she vanished down the street. West has been at the Tivoli for some time past, and is exceptionally ciever. Mr-. Seabrooke, or Elvia Crox as the programmes have it, has in the East been exceedingiy successitl in soutrette roles. During the grand opera season here, how- ever, she has astonished even her best frienas by the good work she has done in prima donna work. It has turnea her mind to more serious work, and after her marriage with Mr. West she intends to save her money and go to Europe tostudy for heavier opera. Both West and Mrs. Seabrooke are ve:y popular with their tellow-artists and bavea host of iriends who wish them all the happiness in the world. The only regret is that the wedding may not take place in this city. Ithasbeen along time since there has been a Uivoli wedding. Not since Phil Branson and Tillie Salin- rer were married, but the divorce laws 1n this State are too severe, the levality of tugboat marriages has been questioned and so the nearest place would be across the line into Nevada. Sosome brightday the Tivoli may shutup shop for a day the whole company immigrate to Carson. The Wasp This Week.

LAWRENCE MUST APPEAR Summoned to the Police| Court on a Charge of Criminal Libel. The Writ of Prohibition Issued | by Presiding Judge Sea~- well Dismissed. Various Pretexts by Which the Ac- oused Obtained Five Weeks' Delay. Five weeks ago A. M. Lawrence of the Exnminer was arrested for criminal libel | on complaint of Claus Spreckels. The ac- cused was arrested and brought to the Police Court for examination. Attorneys employed to defend him contended that it was not necessary that the accused appear in the Police Court during the ex- amination. Judge Campbeil ruled that the defendant must be present, as the law re- quired witnesses to be examined in the presence of the defendant, and so rave notice that bail would be forfeited if Law- rence failed to attend. The attorneys promised to have bim there, bui imme- diately made a rush to the presiding Judze of the Superior Court, and on some kind of ashowing obtained a writ of prohibi- tion to restrain Police Judge Campbell from forfeiting the bond. . Grove L. Johnson at once petitioned to have the writ dismissed, but Judge Sea- well would not hear ar. ument on the pe- tition. He assigned the case to Juage Wallace, who did not want to hear 1t. Lawyers knew that it wastomfoolery to | stop a Police Court trial in this fashion, but the proceedings were arrested all the same. On one pretext and another the case was postPonei from time to time in Judge Wallace’s court at the requesi of Lawrence’s attorneys. On Friday of last week Judge Wallace lost patience and told the lawyers of Lawrence that the final argument would be heard and 1he case de- cided on Friday, September 17. Yesterday when the case was called A. J. Clunie, counsel for Lawrence, seeing that no more delay could be secured in that court, con- sented to a dismissal of the writ. The last postponement was granted on the plea that Mr. McEnerney desired to file an amendment. The time went by for the filing and no amendment was pre- sented. Mr. Johnson could have gained his point by the default of the Examiner counsel, but he was willing that the court should decide the question on its merits. The dismissal of the wrii leaves the case where it stood when Judse Campbell or- dered the deféndant to come into court. The examination of Lawrence for crimi- nal libel will now be resumed before Police Judge Campbell. It is estimated that in Eugland one woman in every six earns her own living. FORGE GRAYBILL Him Withdrawn by Dr. Pepper. Came From Los Angeles to Press a Suit. Action at Law Charging Con- spiracy and Fraud. Dr. C. T. Pepper of Los Angeles came to San Francisco yesterday in order to press an important lawsuit, but instead he found it his duty to dismiss the pro ceedings altogether. The action was in- stituted to recover $13,000 from George D. Graybill of this city, which it was al- leged in the comvlaint had been obtainec from the plaintiff by conspiracy and fraud, the other defendant being John W. Kapus of Los Angeles, but who did not appear to be able to respond financially, though he had recently been pussessed of a considerable sum of money. Kapus was formerly an employe of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and be- came acquainted with the signature of some of the officers. Soon after leaving the company he began to offer for sale certain alleged certificates of indebted- ness that purported to be issued by the order to give the paver backing Kapus in- duced a man who represented himsel f to be S. C. Vincent to go to prospective pur- chasers and teil them that the investment was safe and regular. Vincent went further, for be indorsed the papers “O. K.” and signed the firm name of Goodall, Perkins & Co., and told all who appliea to him that he had issuel the certificates and that they would be paid in a short time. It was not until the two men, Kapus andVincent, had cleaned up nearly $70,000 | that inquiry was made at the otfice ot the were actually worthiess. a big row and Dr. Pepper, who was bard | hit, came to this city and did some detec- tive work op his own account. He found | | out that George D. Graybill was lurmerl) employed by Goo.all, Perkins & Co. and | made up his mind that he was the person | who had arpeared in Los Angeles under | | the name ot Vincent. Acting under this | impression he employed Attorneys Staf- | ford & Stafford and began suit to recover | the money, at the same time attaching | ;wo lots owned by Mr. Graybill worth All the papers of the State bad extensive | | telegraphic accounts of the lezal proceed- | | ings, the story coming from Dr. Pepper’s | home in Los Angeles. By this means in- | formation reached Matt I. Sullivan, of tha | firm ot Sullivan & Sullivan of this city, ana Mr. Sullivan at once calied on Siai- | ford & Stafford to tell them that a big mistake had been mude. “Mr. Graybill is one of our clients and at this moment is employed by a mining company in Lander County, Nev.,”” said Mr. Sullivan. He also added that Mr. Graybill had not been in Los Angeles for four years. Dr. Pepper was incredulous and at last it was agreed tbat tue two men should meet, so yesterday Dr. Pepper came up| from Los Angeles and Mr. Graybull came over the mountains from Nevada. In| company with his attorney Mr. Grayoill | went 1o the office where Dr. Pepper and his lawyers were waiting. As soon es | | Dr. Peppersaw Mr. f:rayblll he exclaimed: *That’s not the man.” Mr. Graybill is so well known here that his identily cannot be gainsaid. He was for twenty vears employed by Goodall, Perkins & Co. in a position of trust, and when he left them took with him a per- | sonal letter of recommendation signed by Senator Perkins. He has been given an and its officers. Mr. Schroeder. _who keeps the cafe in the Hollenbeck Hotel, Los Angeies, ac- companied Dr. Pepper in order to Vincent, and he went with the accused man to Senator Perkins’ office yesterday and said that he was mistaken and that he greatly regreited the false accusation that had been made against Mr. Graybill. Dr. Pepper admitted that he bad beeir hasty in bringing the action without having first made =ure that he had the right man. Mr. Greybili and his friends are greatly gratified at the turn of affairs and think that be is entitled to some financial balm for mis lacerated teelings. Althougn many papers wroie him up in a vexatious manner, vet he feels that the Lus Angeles Times was the hardest on him, pursuing him from day to day for nearly a week, so be thinks he will sue tuat paper for | $100,000 damages, and other papers in proportion to the injury which he thinks they have inflicted. Dr. Pepper had nothing Teft to do ex- cept to dismiss his suit, which he did yesterday, and go home and look elsewhere for the man who swindled him out of his good money. In the meantime both Kapus and Vincent have disapveared from Los Angeles, but the officers of the law are watching thern. Native =ons of Wer;;mt. The regular monthly entertainment and dance of the Pacific Coast Association of the Native Sons of Vermont was held last evening in Odd Fellows’ Hall. A large crowd listened to the programme and joined in the dances. The violin solo by Master Archie Neilson was repestedly encored. Other numbers on the programme were: Overture by the orches- tra, songs by the Lyceum Quartet, camic songs by 'Thomas Eggert, and interestine kaleido- scopic views of Klondike and historical scenes of the world. ——————— Atlus Vineyard Company Litigation.
