Thus under the guise of charity and the premotion of in- terest in the national game handsome for tunes are made, while the poor players, as in the Fresno incident, receive nothing and are brought in debt. The club managers and the publie, interested alike in the national game and charity, want to see that balanc. -sneet. The Will & Fincks and the California Markets, notwithstandinz that they en- tered into a compact with other clubs not to appear on the diamond again in a tour- nament game unle-s tuey reczived 20 per cent of the gross rece!pts, have consented to play with the Sauta Cruz nine on urday and Sunday. The ciubs will re- ceive 15 per cent of the gross receipte. The Californin Markets are scheduled to play in Saturday's game and the Will & Fincks in Sunaay’s. season last night. But the greatest interest was taken 1n Lthe new association, to comprise clups from this city and Siockton, the Gilt Edge and R:liance teams. Jack McGlynn, manuager of the late O ympics, is stirring himeelf, He will probably manage the team 1o be formed | in this city, H. J. Corcoran, manager of the Cali- fornia Transportation Company of Stock- ton and a man of means, will provably or; ganize the Stocktons., Mr, Corcoran is ¥ terested in the Banner Island grounds in the 8lough City. These grounds are the finestin the State. Stockton in the days of the o!d California League was a great basebali town. The Reliance team of Oakland have been offered the Alameda grounds. To-morrow evening there will be a meeting in the office of the Velodrome Company, at which a provosition will be submitted to the new a-sociation to lease the Velodrome grounds or play the ciubs ther: for a percentage of the zate receipts. | H. H. Dsvine, manager of the Gilt Edges, favors the percentuge plan. He thinks 35 or 40 per cent of the gross recelpts would be an equitable compensation for the players. DONE WIT S5-ee ity H THE FAKE. | Manager Maloney of the Los An- geles Nine Has No Use for the Tournament, LOS ANGELES. Carn., fept. 22.—Maa- ager A. Maloney of the local nine has a grievance against yellow journalism as a factor in h:sebali. He declares that h and his men are done with tbe Examin- er's fake tournament, and 1t is not likely that Los Angeles will be again represented in it, *“IThe Los Angeles baseball team which | went to San Francisce to take partin the tournament,” said Manager Maloney to- day, “di¢ not even make expenses. We went into the tournament as a money- making proposition, but owing to the manner in which the receipts were ap- tioned we came out at the small end. ‘'We had been led to believe that the attendance would run between 8000 and 10,000 for eacn game. That sort of talk is ail bo-h. Asa matter of fact the average was less than 3200. Our proportion of the receip's was 10 per cent and the opposition cluo got the same, 20 per cent went to charity and the remaining 60 per cent was Of course certainly a snug little sum left over for somebody to sink away. “If they expect us to take any further part in their games they will have {0 make a lairer distribution of the proceeds. They | should pay each club at least 20 per cent. “If it had not been for the exhibition game we played at Sacramento and the special rates we obtained from the railroad : we would have been in bad shape from a | pecuniary standpoint.” The gereral impression here is that with the Rehance, Gilt Edge and Los Angeles teams out of the race, the tournament wili prove to be a fizzle. So many charges of fraud and trickery have been made in con- nection with the yellow journal's ques- tionable scheme that there wiil be little | prestige gained by the winning team, 52, making | Sat- | GITY FINANGES NOW IN A MESS Auditor Declines to Accept Either Tax Levy.- The Says the Question Is Grave and Wants the Supreme Court to Decide It. | uses the Auditor From Accepting the New Board's Levy. The city’s finances are now in a pretty mess. Aunditor Broderick got througu thinking yesterday morning, and aecided that he would neither accept the tax levy | fixed by the old nor new board. The Auditor desires the Supreme Court to in- struct him as to which levy he shall ac- cept. Attorneys McEnerney and Pilisbury, who represent the oid board, met in the latter’s office Tuesday night and prepared a voluminous decument in the shape of a petition for a writ of mandamus com- pelling the Auditor to accept the levy | fixed by the late but not lamented eight. Thomas Morton, the bewhiskered ex- Supervisor, was selected to sign his name | to the writ as petitioner. He proved a | willing Barkus, and the name of Thomas Morton was -oon inscribed npon the docu- ment that the old board thought would cause consternation among th who live in this ¢ity and coun'y | B-atty was busy when the petition was | presented, so he will not act upon the issuance of a writ until this morning. | Tuoe filing of the writ of mandamus was | the feature of the ‘‘ex-Supes’” periorm- | ance, and the Supreme Court will decide | this morning as to whether or not it | should be sustained. | " Mayor Phelan and the members of the | new Board ot Supervisors are lauzhing in | their sleeves at the efforts of the kicked- {out Supervisors to regain their seats. | They are in command of the battle-field ! will look out for their interests, but his in any legal complications.

Itis safe 1o say that notan ex-Supervisor pres- ent knew what Mr. Hammill was reading. Tiose little tings do not concern men who can fixa tax levy in a few minutes. The most amusing incident of the meet- | ing occurred when *‘Mayer Britt” called | for the report of the Finance Committee.

S THE STATE TAXES. | Provislon Made so That the Super- visors’ Ac'iop Cuts No Figure.

Attorney-General Fitzgerald states that the rum:us of the | Supervi-ors and the refusal of the Auditor to act in the Lemises is no concern to the | State. *“'In fuct, the State has nothing to | do w the matter,” said he, ‘*for the Legislature of 1895 provided for just such a contingency as this, as shown by the followinz =ection of the Political Code, | which say | section 3715.

At any rate, the woman has up to date been the ali- powerlful somber shadow over the Octavia- | ded, und under her dominion a bleak | order of affairs has arisen ihat reads lik a page from another century. They had Fred Bell on the stand in | Judge Coffey’s court all day yesterday | to tell more of the secrets of thisqueer | mansion. His story was simply an elabo- | ration of the accounts he nhas previously | given of the ‘‘Bleak House.” Thecolored woman turned un almost at every stage of ! bis narrative. There were chaptersof a house divided against itself that rivalea fiction, Sometimes in this hbome of wealth, the young man declared, there was noth- ing to eat. Sometimes the fcod presented him had worms in it, having bren pre- pared by an old blind darkey who filled the dual role of cook and page tothe wishes of the dusky empress to whom ev- etybody Who came in contact with her apparently paid tribute. According to young Bell, “Mammy” had a penchant for financiering that would have put Barnato to shame. The | day opened with an attempt on the part | of Attorney Schooler to get a peep at the | records of the manner in which the house was conducted as laid down in the books “Mammy’’ Pieasant. Fisher Ames, who is the Bell rousehold attorney, pro- | tested mildly, and in the end presented | thres books that turned out to be just | what Schooler did not want. There was little starthng in these volumes and the | court thought they were not worth the | reporter’s lees for recording. Everybody about the house seemed to bave had a hand in entering the various records in these volumes. Young Bell called for the cashbook onlv to say that mauy leaves had been torn from it since he saw it last. This is the list of the peopie the young man declared had as- sisted in comptling the diaries of the Bell | institntion: George R. Eaton, Bayard | Baville, Carrie Swain, Miss Belle Hall and Hautie Weston, besides him-elf and sis. ters. From household records the examina- tion driftred during the early part ot the day to bank books, and some of the queer money transactions of Mrs. Pleasant were According to Bell, when he legacy | its former owuer to the house, and, according to the young man, detivered the sum into the hands of Mammy. The young man declared his sisters had been rather neglected in their schocling. The girls were first pluced in an Oakiand convent, only to be removed when a bill was presented. They bhad two more changes, until finally they were taken home to be put under Marie Bell's tuition. The Pleasant woman saw that they did not | overstudy until the proceedings in couri were begun, when she packed them off to school at once, in order that the neglect of their educaiion might not be detrimental | to the case of Mrs. Bell as their guardian. It was the same with \he boys. Young Beil then swore that his sisters | were not aliowed 1o receive any visitors by Mrs. Pleasant's orders. They were maltreated and confined in Mrs, Bell's ab- | sence and taught to tell her faisehoods concerning their joys. George Eaton had | once tuken his eldest sister to a_cafe, and when 1he Plensant woman hear forvade the young mau further freedom, to the accompaniment of some very scur- rilous remarks. Another statement charged Mrs. Pleas- ant with a plan to r.b the estate by repre- senting that the father of a young girl who had once been adopted in the family bad left $15,000 as a legacy in the colored { wom keeping. Tuis young womuan | was Viola Smith, now having her board | paid at the residence of Mrs. Boone, anoiher colored woman and a proiege of Mrs. Pleasant. Bell said that chickens and meat for the Boone household were charged to the Bell estate. | _There was more of the recital of Mrs. Pieasant’s generosity at the expense of the Bell moneys. A Mrs. Royal, who had the rauch aijoining ine Bell nomestead in Sonoma County, was made a present of a $250 horse, Nirs. Parker got Mrs. Beil's clotuing.

At the close ot the day’'s proceedings Bell got in a sbot at Attorney Fister Ames by accusing him of *‘throwing him down for Mammy Pleasant.”” Bell added that since Ames has been the atiorney of the estale he has always consulied the colored woman instead of Mr:. Bell. The case goes on to-day. Divorces Granted. Divorees were granted in the Superior Court yesterday a3 follows: Esther Greenberg from Samuel Greenb for eruelty.

Superintendent Webster Hurls | Defiance at Director Waller. An Arbitrary Ruling Causes Excite- ment—What the Trouble Was All About. The meeting of the Board of Education, sitting as a committee of the whole, broke up in an uproar last evening as a result oi the action of Director Waller, who was in the chair, in declaring tne meeting ad- journed without a motion to that effect being put. “This is most contemptible conduct!” shouted Superintendent Webster, looking angrily at the chairman. “That shows what you are,”’ vociferated Director Armer, shaking his Waller. The prrimary cause of the trouble was the course of study recently adopted by Wabster. Several principais were present to explain the schedule of studies re- cently adopted by the joint committee of grammar and primary school principals. After they had besn heard on several points Director Ragan obtained a ruling | desk and said, fist at| the board on the advice of Superintendent | from the chairthatinasmuch as the meet- ing of the commiitee of the whole had not been pravided for by resolation it wi merely an informal affa Then he pro- cseded to haul the Superintendent over tbe coals on the subject of the course of study. He claimed that the board had been misrepresented in the matter, the blams of the recently adopted course of siudy being laid on the members when asa matter of fact the books most complained of had been recommended by the Super- intendent and never really adopted by the board. He read extracts from a letter writlen to him by a schoolieacher, ridicaling the course of study and referring to Mr. Webster as a chance Superintendent, The Director claimed that by publishing cer~ tain misleading statements Mr. Webster had thrown the blame on shoulders where it did not belong. He moved that the report of the principals be relerred to the Committee on Elementary Education. Superintendent Webster was on his feet in an mstant. demanding a chance to be heard in his own dsfense. Chairman Waller put the question, with the result of the following vote in the affirmative: Bautel, Burns, Barrington, Carew, Drucker, Hammond, Waller and Ragan, The secretary had scarcely announced the result ot the vote, and Superintendent Webster was rising to his feet, when Chairman Waller banged his gavel on the “This meeting is ad- journed.” Then came the uproar. The members of the minority were on their feetin an instant, shouting protests and deflance at the chair, but it was of no avail, and Wal- ler repeated his decision, addi “‘Superintendent Webster made his charges in the papers, let him also make | his defense there. Besides this was only | an informal meeting and I had gright to dectare it adjourned.” Superintendent Webster after tha meet- | ing expressed contempt for the action of | the board in refusing to hear him. He showed from the code that “the duty ot determining the course of studies rests | entirely with ;he board” as a whole, and | that the adoption of Swinton’s Word Analysis aad “Heart Culture,”” in partic- ular, was the result of a recommendation | of ‘the Committee on Elementary Eauca- tion, composed of Direciors Gallagher, Ragan, Burns and Carew. ————— | Theskin of the kangaroo, when prop- erly tanned, never cracks.
