After hearing- McCormack’s statement Chief Lees became indignant, and at once sent for Sweeney. - He emphatically de- nied that he had ever xaid he had a “pull” withi the Police Devartment. “This fellow is sore,’’ he remarked. *‘I refused to take him out of jail, and he made this alleged confession’in ‘order 10 queer me with the Police Department.’” Notwithstanding bis positive denial the Chief told him thai if he ever again ciaimed that he had influence with the Police Department he would make him regret it. For some time past it has been whis- pered about police headquarters that Sweeney was running things with a bigh band. It was openly asserted that he claimed to have a “pull” with Chief Lees, und unless bunko men and thieves of all descriptions came 10 ** ee” him he would have them driven out of town.

Judge Conlan told tie woman not to have anything to do with Sweeney. as he was powerless to assist her husban The following day Gagus was discharged from cnstody and the woman’s husband held to answer for the crime before the Superior Court. It is claimed that Gagus is one of Sweeney’s “‘friends,”’ and througn h is pull he man aged to beat the case. 14Several days ago ihree well-known con- fidence operators, named Gus Frey Nels Johnson and William Martin, were ar- rested for robbing August Alshuth, a miner from Redding, of $270. Shortly after the commission of the crime, it is claimed, Sweeney, who was “<ore” at the men for deserting his camp, informed De- tectives Grabam and Sullivan of their whereabouts. Throueh bis information, it is said, the ‘‘grafters” were apprehended and locked up in the City Prison. Sincs then, it is claimed, Sweeney, in obedience to the wishes of their friends, has inauced, itisclaimed, the complaining witness to leave the city. There is likely to be an interesiing scene in Judge Conlan’s court this morn- ing in case Alshuth fails to show up. The Judge has heard that Alshuth bas left the city, and 1f he fails to appear he is deter- mined to make a therough investigation. “‘Somebody will suffer,’” he remarked last nicht when discu: R the case. I the complaining witness has been spirited away I will continue the case untii be is found, *If Sweeney is at the bottom of it I will soon find it out, and then he will have to apswer to a criminal charge.”’ Atiorney Walter Gallagher is thor- ouzhly conversant with the alleged work of Sweeney.

GOPPER 70 CHICAGO A New Wire Strung Two Thousand Miles East- ward, The Western Union Company Increas- ing Its Facilities for Eastern News. The Western Union Telegrap Company has just completed a new copper wire to Chicago at a cost of $270,000, it being the third erected of this metal 0 that city. The company, with a view to perfect- ing its cross-continental service, started to build this new one sixty days ago and it was finisked last Wednesdav. It coversa distance of 200) miles. D. R. Davies,super- intendent of ¢ nstruction for the Western division, has had charge of the building of the wire from Ozien here, and the various officers and superintendents from there buck to Chicago have seen to the working. Thisis the seventh wire over the Central and Union Pacific, but four of them are of fron. [t will now be possible for a parson to send a message to Chicago and receive an answer in fiv: minutes.

The Grand Jury Made a Visit to the Girls’ High School and O ne of the Educators Took a Vacation. There is a little game of “pussy wants a corner” going on at the Girls' High School, out on Geary street, that is be- comwing decide lly interesting. Itnot only keeps several teachers and Pr.ncipzl Brooks guessing, but affords euteriain- ment for the pupils and those insiruciors Who feel secure in their piaces. Itall arises out of the goodness of heart of the Board of Education. Tnere are so many peoble who want positions that it is impossible to find places for them all, and at the same time these applicants have so many friends that it is impossihte for the members of the board to refuse. The result is that there are now so many teachers that they get into each other’s | way and cause trouble. It isn’t the tault of Mr. Brooks that this condiiion obtains, for he made an official protest against tse appointment of the | teachers, and no ionger ago than Wednes- | day sent another official communication to the board asking tiat that body desig- nate which of the teachers should be toid to go home. But whatever may be the cause and whoever may be to blame for it is a mat- ter that the future must reveal. What at present is exercising the mindas of the teachers is who is to go. Mr. Brooks tei- ephoned to the rooms of the boara Wednesday end asked what he should do about one of the surplus teachers who bad nothing to do but sit in the hbrary of the school and amuse herself. He was told by some one who either bad or as- eumed authority to let nher stay until “something was said about it.” Now it is not exactly clear who is to say this mys- terious *‘sometaing,” but the inference that is drawn is that it means the out- raged public, that has to stand all this ex- tra expense of superfluous teachers. If the public makes a protest then the board will teke action, but so lon: as the tax- payers can be kept in the dark the teachers can draw their salaries for doing | nothing. Tnere are three teachers at the Girls’ | High School who have been seut there, even though the principal said he needed no more, and these three teachers are drawing $100 per month from the school funds. | There are fewer pupils at the Girls’ | | s1:d aboutir.”” | an a Lefore the appointment of the extra teachers. Miss Burns is the present im- media.e cause oi trousle, for there is not | on.¥ no ueed for her service-, but there is | no room wherewn she coud teach, even if | tuere were pupi s requiring her aid. She | has been placea in the library, where the 500 books pescefully rest on ihe shelves, #.d occasiona.ly is called upon 10 reileve | some other teacher for ashort time. |, i became rumorel some weeks ago | that the Grand Jury was going to muke ]‘-n investigation of matiers and things about the public school-, and jast at that | time, ol cuurse, it mu-~t have been a mere { coincidence, Miss Burns had a short vaca- i tion of a week or so. but now that the in- | vesiigation is over, she is back at her post answering to rolical: regularly. W heiher sbe will be able 1o draw her salary or not 1s another question, because it is reported | that neithe; Superintendent Web-ter nor | President Barrington will sign the war- rants when payday comes around. E. V. Head, member of the Board of | Education, said yesterday that this con- | dition wa- due to tie fact that the schools | of the city were being run in the interests | of individuals rather than of the public, | He greatiy deplored the condition of th | dirls Hign School, because that institu- tion hud always been the pride of the city | and of the board. He also hoped tuat the | peonle would become fully aroused to the | conditions that prevailed in the schools and remember tuem when it came the time 1o elect another set of Directors. He cited as anotier instance of how the peo- | ple’s money was being wasted the fact | ihat a teacner ha | been appolated to the | Lowell High School who had nothing to | do but report regulary rvery morning |and draw his salerv st the ¢n1 of the month. This cundition had also been | cal.ed to the attention of the board, but | probably it ia waiting until “'something is High School than [there were a year ago, | | In speaking of therecent Grand Jury in- vestigation Director Head said that of course the board knew beforehand jnse when it was to be made and just wiere the committee wou.d go.

WMAHIY PLEASANT SUED Elected First Vice-President of the Southern Pacific Company. George Crocker Unanimously Chosen for the Second Vice- | Presidency. The long-expecied happened yesterday when the directors of the Southern Pa-| cific Company iormally elected General | Thomas H. Hubbard of New York to ihe | office of first vice-president, made vacant several months ago by the death of Colonel Fred Crocker. General Hubbard was second vice-presi- dent at the time of his promotion. George Crock er, brother of the deceased colonel, was unanimously elected second vice- president, to succeed General Hubbard. This was the only business iransactea at the meeting, and it was largely a mat- ter of form, for it seems to be a traditioa of the railroad building that elections take place at C. P. Huntington’sdirec ion, and bis preference is as good as a unani- | mous vote. General Hubbard, it is thought, will re- | main in New York, where he has much other buti.ess requiring his perconal at- tention, but H. E. Huntington has, since Colonel Crocker’s death, been attending to the duties of the vice-presidency, in addi- tion to his own many cares as assistant to bis uncle, the absent C. P. Hunting- ton, and he may continue to do extra ser- vice in order that the new vice-president, | as well as the president, may reside in the East. H. E. Huntington, however, gives it out that C. P. Huntington purposes to come to California to live. He wishes to spend more of his time here. S e A Natjonal Bank.

Conrad P.

The plaintiff claims that when he was retained to care jor young Bell “Mammy”’ told him he was 1o receive $8a day for his services and for him 10 100k 10 her for his money. Hermann attended Bell for 150 days, but when he made aoplication for bhis morey it was not forthcoming. In answer to the plaiutiff’s allegations “Mammy” sets up a general denial. She did not retain the nurse, she says, and did not agree to pay him any amount for his services. In consequence she has re- tained Fisher Ames to contest the action. Owing to the iliness of the agzed colored defendant bat litile progress was made in the trial of the sui yesterday morning, and it was postponed until Monday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. S ANOTHER ORPHEUM, The Clunie Opera-House of Sacramento Now Under the Control of Gustav ‘Walter. Gustav Walter has recently openea the Clunie Opera-house of Bacramento as an Orpheum Theater. This makes the third house now run under the Orpheum man- agement. The bill each week will be made up exclusively from people of the Orpheum circuit. Under the new regime each of the three theaters will present an entire change of bill weekly. The best vaudeville talent attainable will be secureu, which will un- doubtediy nsure a success financially and from an amusement standpoint. The report which was circulated that the Great Western Vaudevi le Association wus to be dissolved is denied by Mr. Wal- ter, and instead the organization will be extended so as to be of cvreater service than heretofore to the Orpheum manage- ment. The association was formed about a year ago by Gustav Walter, John D. Hopkins ana George Castle, both vaude- ville managers with headquarters in Chi- cagzo, and the combine has so far bren a success.
