Mrs. Jennie McBean has been mar- ried three times, but neither of her for- mer ventures was happy. She was first the wife of Mr. Hewlett, and after se- curing a divorce from him she mar- ried Mr. Culver. This marriage was also an unhappy one and Mrs. Culver again sought the divorce court with success. Alexander McBean is a well-known lumber man of San Francisco, but has made his home in Oakland for many vears. The family has always been very prominent in society, and it was mainly because of alleged discrimina- tion against Mrs. McBean's turn-out in favor of P. E. Bowles, the banker, at ‘the Fablola fete, that the annual | horse meet was discarded. | Mrs. Jennie McBean is a lady of | charming personality and is well known in local social circles. | WEAT THE COMPANY CAN DO. ‘Opinlon of the District Attorney on | the Powers of Water Corporations. | OAKLAND, Feb. 7.—City Attorney Dow handed his opinion to the Water Committee of sthe City Council to-day.

GIVING THE PR INCE A NAME. Banism by AP{:hhiShnp Riordan of the Heir of the ‘House of Poniatowski. - The heir apparent and 'the future DOssessof of the royal diadem of Prince Andre Ponlatowski was baptized at St. Mary’s Cathedral last Sunday afternoon in the Roman Catholic faith by His Grace Archbishop Riordans The ceremony was without the usual ostentation, being participated in by a limited number of invited friends of the happy father. The principal objected strenuously to the ceremony, plain and unassuming though it was. Immediately after the arrival of the carriages bearing the Prince, the candidate, the two sponsors, and the few friends invited, the party was ushered into the baptismal room adjoining the main vestibule of the church, where Archbishop Riordan was in readiness to perform the ceremony. The sacrament was concluded without much mis- hap to his highness, and Archbishop Riordan, after pronouncing the words which had for their object the cleansing of his soul from the sin of our first parents, bestowed upon him the more than dignified name of Charles Casimir Poniatowski. SLADE WILL NOT EXPOSE IS BOOKS He Violates a Stipula- tion Made in Court. Dundon’s Partner Proves to Be a Strict, Jealous Sabbatarian. Stratton Explains Himself as Counselor for the Har- bor Board. HIS PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. Another Shady Transaction in Which the Slade Lumber Company Was Favored. The case of the Paraffine Paint Com- pany against the State Board of Har- bor Commissioners will be resumed this morning in Judge Belcher’s court. At the outset of the proceedings the court will have to consider the gross manner in which Slade and his attorney, G. T. Wright, have violated the stipulation entered into respecting the privilege of counsel for the Paraffine Paint Com- pany to examine Slade's books during the court interim. It was expressly understood that the attorneys for the Paraffine Company should have access to Slade's books, which he was allowed to take back to his office pending the conclusion of his testimony. The ad- journment was taken last Friday after the many disclosures showing a sys- tematic defacement of check stubs and accounts of the San Francisco Timber Preserving Company, plainly of recent date. It was the motive of Slade’s In- vestigation to demonstrate that the fa- voritism enjoyed by the Dundon-Slade creosoting scheme was pald for secret- ly to the Harbor Board; that certain sums of money passed from Dundon and Slade to some member or agent of the board. Although this fact was not determined, the raw erasures and al- terations in what were manifestly pri- vate money transactions with some person or persons whose identity it had become necessary to conceal, held out the hope that a closer investigation of Slade's mysterious bookkeeping meth- ods would establish the fact sought. Consequently, on Saturday, the first day after adjournment, counsel for the Paraffine Company made an attempt to prosecute their inquiries into the Dun- don-Slade accounts, but were plausibly urged to give Slade that day to post his books, the work on which, ft was said, had fallen behind because of their retention in court so many days. The following day, Sunday, counsel again applied to have the books sub- mitted to them, but on this occasion they were gravely informed by Slade’s attorney that his client was too good a Christian to engage in any sort of la- bor on the Sabbath, and that therefore the examination would have to be de- ferred until Monday. Yesterday, when the third trial was made to carry out the purpose of the stipulation, the Paraffine Company attorneys were no- tified point blank by Slade’s attorney, Mr. Wright, that they would be allow- ed to see the books only while Slade had them with him on the witness- stand. From all of which it will ap- pear that Judge Belcher may have something interesting to say about Slade’s books that Mr. Wright did not anticipate. r. Stratton,’ special counsel for the Hatbor Commission, who finds himself severely criticized because of the fact that he advised Slade and the board at the same time, In the actions of the Pa- cific Pine Lumber Company, which were compromised, Is preparing to de- fend himself elaborately. He will take the witness-stand, and besides fortify his testimony with that of other wit- nésses. ‘“Ordinarily,” said he yester- day, “I would not make any statement with reference to myself in the Harbor Commission suit, while it is being tried in court, and yet, since you have sug- gested the propriety of my explaining my position, I will avail myself of that privilege. 4§ “In the first place, I am not, and never have been, on both sides of any case. I am not the regular attorney for the Harbor Commissioners, and act under employment in special cases only. “The fact that the Slade Lumber Company at one time consulted me with reference to a particular matter is no reason for contending that my opinion given to the Harbor Commis- sioners long after that employment had ceased should be viewed with suspicion. I was the attorney for Darby Laydon & Co. in 1894 and in the early part of 1895 in two suits brought, one agalinst the Sacramento Bank and one against the city of Benicia. I have not been the attorney of Darby Laydon & Co. in any matter for between three and four years. I have never been the attor- ney of P. F. Dundon, who was one of the partners of Darby Laydon & Co., but my business relations were almost exclusively with Darby Laydon. These matters had nothing whatever to do with the Harbor Commissioners, even remotely. “After my resignation as attorney for the board, and upon returning from a trip to Europe, I was employed by the Commissioners in litigation from time to time by specldl engagement. I was employed in the two injunction suits brought by the Pacific Pine Lumber Company against the Harbor Commis- sloners. Taese suits were originally brought to restrain the Commissioners from paying any sum of money in ex- cess of $7 40 per foot to the 8. E. Slade Lumber Company. “Subsequently the scope of those suits was somewhat enlarged and went to the validity of the contract of the Slade Lumber Company with the Har- bor Commissioners. After being re- tained by the board in those cases Mr. Slade came to me and wanted to ask my professional opinion as to his gen- eral rights in his lumber transactions with the board and with the Pacific Pine Lumber Co. I accepted this em- ployment, which was temporary and special in its nature, because under all ethics of the profession 1 had the right so to do. I at once and at that very time, however, advised Mr. Ford, the regular attorney of the board, with whom I was associated in the Pacific 'HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1898. Pine Lumber suits, of that fact and even asked his opinion. ‘“His opinion was that there was per- fect propriety in the matter. I further at the same time advised the Harbor Commissioners of the fact that Mr. Slade had consulted me. .This was done in an open meeting at which were present the secretary, Mr. Keegan, Colonel Chadbourne, Mr. Colnon and Mr. Harney. All these gentlemen re- member the circumstances perfectly. I further informed them that I would not advise them thereafter as to any mat- ter in which Mr. Slade might assert any claim or right as against the board. I never had advised them in any matters affecting the Slade Lum- ber Company contract other than what I had already advised them prior to the time when Mr. Slade came to mé. Mr. Slade was not a party to those suits. His interests and those of the board were on the same side at that time. That is, the board had audited his bills and were seeking to pay him the money. “Furthermore, I never advised the Slade to settle with the Pacific Pine Lumber Company, and, on the other hand, I advised the Harbor Commis- sioners against making any settlement with the Pacific_Pine Lumber Com- pany. .In fact, I advised against in any way being a party to any com- promise, directly or indirectly, prefer- ring that the entire matter should be litigated in the ccurts. “I think, however, it was to Mr. Slade’s interest that he made an ar- rangement with the Pacific Pine Lum- ber Company, for the reason that while the litigation was pending he was de- prived of the interest on his money, and the same might be tied up from two to five years. “Furthermore, I never advised the board in any way with reference to entering into a contract with the S. E. Slade Lumber Company, nor as to the construction of that contract. The lat- ter was a matter which was prior thereto passed upon by Mr. Ford, the regular attorney of the board, in a written opinion, which is on record and which has been produced at the trial. “I never had anything to do what- ever with the settlement between the Pacific Pine Lumber Company and the S. E. Slade Lumber Company. This was carried on by Mr. Slade personally without any advice from me, although he knew what his legal rights were. The settlement which he made with the lumber company was unknown to me, and was first intimated by a let- ter written by Mr. Jordan, the attor- ney of the Pacific Pine Lumber Com- prany, to Mr. Ford, who thereupon ad- vised the board of the dismissal of the suits, and the S. E. Slade Lumber Company warrants were thereupon de- livered. “My connection with the S. E. Slade Lumber Company ceased on November 1, 1897, and existed for a period of from four to six weeks only. Mr. Slade stated at the time that he came to me for advice that he did so because Garret McEnerney, whom he desired to consult, had informed him that he was 80 busy in the Falr estate and other litigation that he could give him no time, 1 have never heard it suggested that because an attorney had been consulted or advised any individual that there- after his opinions would be tainted in all independent matters in which that indtvidual might be connected. ‘I never was an attorney for the San Francisco Timber Preserving Company. On December 15, 1897, I was called upon to advise the board as to what action they should take with certain bids which had been presented to them for creosoting piles. The Slade Lumber Company was not a party to any of those bids. The San Franciseco Timber Preserving Company was, however, one of the bidders, and Mr. Slade was part owner In this company. This, however, I do not think I knew until very, re- cently. I gave the board certain ad- vice, which advice had been determined upon, as can be shown conclusively by witnesses, prior to the time when I had any knowledge whatever as to who the {;)\vest bidder for creosoting piles might e. “I further advised the board with ref- erence to the preparation of new speci- fications. What motives actuated me, or the Commissioners, in framing these specifications will be absolutely demon- strated at the trial. I am only speaking of the matter of professional ethics in the attempt to construe my conduct in at one time representing the Slade Lumber Company as not being proper. “In so far as changes may have been made in the éntries of any books of the Timber Preserving Company, which have been produced in court, I have no suggestion to make at the present time. That is a matter which does not con- cern me in the least. 5 “I have only contended In court that the hearing should be had under the ordinary rules of evidence. If the repu- tations of men are to be determined by what {s found in books as to entries in which they have nothing whatever to do, then the rules of evidence must be revolutionized. I am not criticising the trial court, for the reason that as I take it he agrees with me in my inter- pretation of the law, and has stated that unless the connection between the Commissioners and the books is shown in a legal way, the testlmony"must be disregarded and stricken out. Not all the truth respecting the deal- ings of the Slade Lumber Company with the Harbor Board has come out. In the latter part of February, 1897, Slade’s contract to furnish lumber to the commission expired and new bids were called for. Just previous to that time Slade had been receiving about $13 per thousand feet for lumber, as called for in his contract. According to the books in the office of the secre- tary of the commission the orders for Jumber had been in quantities from two to five thousand feet, as the re- pairs and construction of bulldings de- manded. - Only a day or so before the opening of the bids for furnishing this material for the ensuing year Superintendent Patterson put in an order with Slade for the enmermous quantity of 150,000 feet of 4x8 pine lumber at the old price of $13 per thousand feet. The excuse given at the time was that the lumber was for “urgent repairs.” The urgency of the case may be inferred from the fact that when the lumber arrived from the mills it remained stacked up on the water front for many a long day with- out a saw or a nail being stuck into it. The nigger in this pile of Washington pine turned out to be of huge dimen- sions. It is a fact that several months prior to the giving of the order men- tioned the lumber combine of the coast had gone to pleces, in consequence of which the people were enabled to pur- chase building material at low prices never reached before in the history of the lumber trade in the West. Of course the State could not take advantage of this cut in prices for the Harbor Com- missiocners had -a contract with the Slade Lumber Company at $13 per thousand feet. The market quotations at that time were from $6 50 to $8 for No. 1, or the first class, and about $2 lower for No. 2, or second-class. The order given by Superintendent Patterson to the Slade Lumber Com- pany was made only a day or two be- fore the bids for the new contract were to be let. By waiting a few hours the Commissioners could have saved eabout $1000 to the State, if No. 1 lumber was wanted, or nearly $1600 if No. 2 lumber was called for. This was spoken of as “raw work” on the water front. At the time the transaction attracted some lit- tle attention and those who watched proceedings laughed when the Commis- sfoners made a second explanation, that the order had been placed “some The fac-simile signatuse of ot T is on every wrapper of CASTORIA. time before the meeting” at which the bids for the contracts were opened, for his statement was an untruth. That the market was at a very low ebb was demonstrated by the fact that one of the bidders, Byxbee & Clark, offered to furnish the Commissioners with all the lumber, No. 1 grade, at $7 40 per thou- sand. It is anticipated that Slade will be kept on the witness-stand the better part of the day. Chief Engineer Holmes will be recailed also. It is understood that W. H. Healy, who was prominently connected with some of the injunction litigation which was brought against the board, and which was afterward compromised, is out of town. Shouid he return, he will be subpenaed, and may be called on to testify as to his experience as an un- successful lowest bidder when compet- ing with the combine. One of the things to which he would be called upon to testify would be in regard to the rotten and second-hand piles which he openly charged in the board had been delivered to him by Darby Lay- don & Co., and which he used in some repair work. PIONEERS ARE THINNING OUT Death of the Oldest Resident in the County of Alameda. Simeon Stivers Lived for Fifty Years in the Same Spot. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 808 Broadway, Feb. 7. Bimeon Stivers, the oldest settler in Irvington, died to-night. No pioneer in Alameda County is more generally known and no one has resided as long on one homestead. For exactly half a century Simeon Stivers has lived on the place he bought in 1848, Simeon Stivers came to this coast with his uncle, Earl Marshall, who died several years ago. They came around the Horn on the ship Brooklyn, and in the family place near Irvington there is a memento of the old vessel in the shape of a piece of the figurehead. Stivers marrifed Miss Anna M. Jones of Ohio in 1838, and their family consisted of Letitia M., Simeon E., Charlotte J., Samuel, Champion D., Anna M., Mark and Edward. The old ploneer will be buried in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery at Irvington on ‘Wednesday afternoon. —————— STUDENT OFFICERS NAMED.
