He Must Pay for His Words Against the School Directors---The Lincoln School Lot Lease Sent Back to the Board by the Re- corder to Be Acknowledged. The lease for the Lincoln school prop- erty was offered to the Recorderyester- day, but as it was not acknowledged it was sent back to the board. On the face of it there is apparently nothing wrong; it provides for the holding of the property by the lessors on consider- ation of the payment of $4000 on the first of every 1th, and the se tary of the board reported that the first pay- ment is already in. The price i$ more than the old buildings can possibly pay, and the wails of the tenants against the lift in the rent tells a tale of future emptin 3 H There will be a general exodus when the month of March comes in, and who will take the place of those who leave s what people in the vicinity a k- ing. By.some it is believed that there is no intention to attract future ten- ants to the place, but the scheme is to clear the place to make way for some one who has hitherto been in the background. Ten y is a long time in the history of Market street, and a shrewd corporation could eas- 1ly afford to lose money for a few rs to secure the ben which would ac- crue to the ownership of a big piece of property in the center of the coming business section of the street. The tenants claim to be in ignorance of the men who compose the that is playing fast and loose their profits; all they know is that they have the choice of pay or move, and there are not many who will pay. The Red Front, a dry goods house owned by A. J. Prager & Sons, was raised $200, the highest of any of the tenatns, but Prager did not let the grass grow on his efforts in his own behalf, and he has made an agreement with the syndicate that will enable him to stay where he is. He bid for his own place in the first competition, but he was not allowed to compete against those who bid on the whole lot. The Creamerie restaurant, too, has made some sort of an agreement, and it will stay, but the other places along Market street will all be vacated if the present intentions of the occupants be carried out. At the meeting of the jury to-day the lease will be discussed. The Kilpatrick charges against members of the board has resulted in the suspension of Kilpatrick, and with- in a short time there will be an open trial of his case before the board. He was suspended at the meeting held yesterday, and with him was sus- pended D. E. Stanton, from whom he said he heard the charges. The committee on rules took the for yesterday afternoon before the reg- matter up at a special meeting called ular. meeting of the board, and after hearing what Kilpatrick had to say it vas decided to recommend his sus- This was done by the board, included Staton in sion. which afterward the penalty. Sentence of suspension is coming hard to Kilpatrick, and he vows he will get even with Director Ragan, whom he blames for his trouble. He was at police headquarters after the meeting of the committee and he procured a star as a special officer, at the same time talking of warrants for the ar- rest of various Directors and any num- ber of charges to fit what he claims are their derelictions. He claims the star as an aid to keeping the peace among the scholars of his school. It was the report of the Committee on Rules that brought the matter be- fore the board, and A4lthough there was some discussion on the merits of the procedure suggested, it was not prolonged and a very few moments sufficed to consign Mr.. Kilpatrick to partial oblivion pending an Investiga- tion by the board. The report of the committee was as follows: To the Honorable Board of Education, City and County of San Francisco: Gentlemen—Your Committee on Rules begs leave to submit the following re- hereas, The attention of your com- mittee was forcibly directed, by reason of their wid ead publication in the newspapers of the city and county of San ncisco, to ecertain charges and state- nts made by one, E. C. Kilpatrick, principal of the Business Evening School, reflecting seriously upon the honor and integrity of certain members of this board, your committee feeling that the importance of this matter to the School Department of the city and county of San F mands prompt action at its 11 a meeting of said commit- L ruary 9, and did >. Kilpatrick before it to prove his charges or explain away the statements attributed to him if false. And your committee, having so met and the id Kilpatrick having appeared be- fore {t, after a full hearing, your com- mittee is satisfled that there s sufficient evidence to establish charges of unpro- fessional conduct, that he should be put on trial theréfor. Wherefore, your committee would recommend to your honorable board that when charges ‘have. been properly pre- ferred against the said Kilpatrick for un- professional conduct the secretary of the board be directed to duly serve the said Kilpatrick therewith and to have him brought to trial thereon, and that pend- ing the preparation, pendency and trial of such charges, that the sald E. C. Kil- patrick be suspended from his position in the School Department of the city and county of San Francisco. DR. GEORGE DRUCKER, T. A. BURNS. A motion for the adoption of the re- port brought Derham to his feet with a protest against the suspension of Kilpatrick until he had been formally charged with some definite offense; he said too that the charges Kilpatrick had made were under investigation by the Grand Jury, and he thought the matter should be left in abeyance un- til that body had completed its work. Head followed in a similar strain, add- ing that Kilpatrick should be brought before the board and be allowed to prove his charges or admit them to be false before any suspension should be imposed. He said Stanton, a special teacher in the school, from whom Kil- patrick claimed he had heard the charges he himself had afterward made, was more a fool than a knave, but that anyway he, too, should be heard. Gallagher stopped the discussion, however, by springing the rutes on the board and showing where the com- mittee had the power to suspend if it pleased, and Carew added that it would not harm Kilpatrick very much anyway, even if he were suspended, and so it went to a vote. The report was adopted. Derham and Head vot- ing “no,” and Armer, Waller and Bar- rington being excused. That ended the episode until later, when Head wanted to know how Stan- ton was in the department anyway; he was told that he had been assigned to special duty by the chairman of the Committee on Evening Schools and without action by the board. Head declared that he would notify the Au- ditor that such appointments were not legal and would warn him not to pass the warrants of such appointees, and then Barrington came down from the chair and moved that the chairman of the Committee on Evening Schools, Dr. Ragan, be directed to suspend Mr. Stanton from duty. This motion was carried, and it contained no clause lim- iting the suspension until a hearing could be had; it only provided for the suspension, and it looks as Mr. Stanton's place was vacant. Several directors expressed that intention when they voted, but the suspension Is indefinite, and it is not probable it will be removed. No date was set for the hearing of the charges against Kilpatrick. | Dr. Ragan then rose to a question of He referred to the accusa- | privilege. tion which had been made against him and he demanded that the board ap- point a time when the matter could be thoroughly investigated. He said that in defense of his good name it was im- perative that the board meet in com- mittee of the whole and investigate the charges. made a similar address, but Mr. Carew came to the rescue by saying that the regular meeting was no time to bring | such matters up, and he advised that | they be left until the committee of the whole met. Dr. Ragan helped to soothe Hammond by saying that at no time | did he consider any of the publications referred to Hammond, and then the meeting adjourned. A queer freak of the law has been discovered in the sections relating to bribing officials and officials accepting a bribe. Under the Penal Code an official who asks for a bribe is guilty of a felony. Under the statutes of 1843 a School Director who asks for and re- ceives a bribe is guilty of a misde- meanor. The indictment against Wal- ler will charge him with felony, but had the accusation gone a little further and declared that he had accepted money the best the jury could do would be {o charge him with a mis- demeanor His indlctment “ill e pre- sented to-dey. iSRSy BARRINGTON FEARS HARM Alarmed That Principal Kil- patrick Will Attempt to Kill Him. President Barrington of the Board ©of Education fears that an attempt will be made to_ kill him. Last night a rela- tive of the School Director visited po- lice headquarters and asked Chief Lees to detail an officer to protect Barring- ton. He claimed that Principal Kil- patrick had made some ugly threats against the president of the board, and he asked that an officer be sent to ac- company Barrington to and from | home. appointing principals of public schools as special officers, Kilpatrick yesterday appeared at police headquarters and was sworn in. The relative of Bar- rington learned of this, and, becoming alarmed on account of the alleged threats made against Barrington by Kilpatrick, he visited police headquar- ters and asked Chief Lees to revoke his appointment. As the Chief knew noth- ing of the alleged threats he refused to | take any action. He, however, sent an | officer to accompany Barrington to his home. It is claimed that since the publica- tion of the scandals connected with the Board of Education, Kilpatrick openly | asserted that Barrington was against | him, and that he intended to get even | with him. His remarks, it is said, have | been construed as threats against the life of the president of the board, and to prevent him from injuring Barring- ton the latter's relative appealed to the Chief of Police for protection. BIBB TE LLS | HIS STORY IN COURT His Experience With the Man Who Had a Pull With Colnon. | Startling Testimony Given in the Harbor Case Before Judge Belc It was predicted in The Call of yes- terday that the appearance of D. H. | Bibb on the witness stand would be followed by sensational disclosures, more pointed and pertinent than any- thing previously developed in the cor- ruption and collusion case brought by the Paraffine Paint Company against the State Board of Harbor Commis- sioners. The testimony drawn from Mr. Bibb was precisely in line with the facts as anticipated by The Call, though he had declined to confirm them for publication in any quoted form un- 411 he had been required to do so in court. His sensitiveness on this score may be readily appreclated after hav- ing observed the play of the effort to withhold from the court and the pub- lic all information of importance to the one, in determining the issues legally 4involved, and of grave concern to the other, in arriving at a verdict as to how seriously the official trust of the Harbor Commission has been violated by the humbug contract system so long in force and operation. Mr. Bibb asked if he had seen any other person in connection with the matter of supplying lumber to the board after Mr. Colnon had assured ———————————————————— ADVERTISEMENTS.

Commission her. him he was to begin doing so the fol- lowing Monday. “I did,” he replied, “the next day.” “Who was that person?” Another objection by Mr. Stratton was overruled and the witness replied, “Willlam Inglis.” “Where did you see him?” “At my office, 4 Sutter street.” “What did he say to you?” inquired Attorney Sullivan, who was conducting the examination. “He came into my office and demand- ed that I pay him $250 monthly. I asked, ‘What for?’ and he said for se- curing the trade of the Harbor Com- mission. ‘What have you to do with that?’ I asked. ‘I have a pull on Cel- non,’ he answered, ‘and unless you give what I want you can’t have the trade.’ I said T wouldn’t do it. Then he made the proposition that I give him half the lumber. He wanted to purchase half the lumber and pass it throughour books to the commission. I refused .again. He went out of the office say- ing, ‘Then you won't get the trade.’ ” The following day, the witness con- inued, or within forty-eight hours, Colnon sent for him. He saw the chair- man the second time in' the inner room of the Harbor Commission. Colnon asked him if he had seen Inglis. His reply was that he had. “Have you made any arrangements with him?"* asked Colnon. “I have not,” was the reply, “and I don’t propose being stood up that way."” Colnon said that Inglis’ father was a very dear friend and he “wanted the son, Billy, placed.” As the witnesss re- membered, Colnan further stated that the father was on his (Colono’s) bond as surety for the Harbor Commissioner. “Since that interview, in which you | told Colnon you would not be stood up | in that manner, has your company | sold any lumber to the Harbor Com- mission?” was asked. An objection to this question was sustained ‘by Judge Belcher, who ex- plained it might be put in another form, and after twisting inquiries in keeping with legal forms it was ascer- tained that the Bibb Lumber Com- pany got no lumber business under Mr. Colnon’s executive charge of the board’s affairs. Then Mr. Bibb was asked: “Do you know what became of Inglis after your last conversation with Colnon?” “Yes, sir; he went to work for Mr. Slade. Mr. Slade told me so.” “Did you or your company make any further attempt to secure business with the Harbor Commission?” * SKIN, SCALP **“ciiigull S6is CUTICURA SOAP. “Yes, sir.” ting bids for the s board?” :‘.Yes, sir; about a year afterward.” In whose names were these bids submitted ?"” Witness then ex in the propos: ale of lumber to the plained his interest als submitted to the board at fl;e ltime ade was awarded the con- tract last spring for a year's suppl: of lumb B at the lowest market price. This, it will be remembered, is the slip- shod contract with the Dundon-Slade combine under which so many extor- tlonate lumber bills have been paid, and which finally provoked the Pacific Pine Company suits which were promised out of court. The Slade bid was to furnish at cur- rent prices, beginning at the price quot- ed in the lowest bid. after they began to serve the board under this fat and loos contract, they ipef:ged up the prices, until the board | was paying almost double the amount | stated in the lowest of the Bibb bids, as well as that of the Pacific Company.

Attorney Stratton, in endeavoring to | show that if Inglis had approached Mr. | Bibb on the basis of securing commis- | sions on sales to the board the proceed- | ing would not be unusual, only forced | a renewal of the explanation that In- glis did not come to witness as a com- mission dealer or broker, but as a per- son who “had a pull with Colnon.” In- | glis said he wanted the gratuity named | ternative proposal, elde Bibb wouldn't get any trade from the board. Witness frankly admitted he wouldn’t have dealt with anybody on any terms after Colnon had voluntarily offered him the lumber business of the board, | but said he would not have dealt with Inglis on any terms to have secured the business. Cross-examination also developed the fact that about three weeks after the Colnon-Inglis incidents Mr. Bibb re- ported the circumstances to Governor Budd at the Palace Hotel. Governor Budd was emphatic in his denunciation D. H. BIBB. part of the Pacific Company, which were compromised on the basis that the Slade Company be allowed to col- lect their bills from the board; that they buy their lumber thereafter from the Pacific Pine Lumber Company, and that from the same company, the Dar- by Laydon feeder of the Dundon com- bine, take its piles. Mr. Bibb explained in the cross-ex- amination that had he secured the lumber contract at $7 40 it was not his purpose to hog the business, and that the trade would have been shared with others legitimately engaged in mer- chandising lumber. It was further de- veloped by the cross-examination that the scheme implied by the proposman of Inglis to work the Colnon “pull” if Mr. Bibb would divide the lumber business of the beard with him, was such as might involve a reputable firm in serious trouble. It would enable In- glis, for example, to take a requisition for say 2500 feet of lumber and put in “Were you instrumental in submit- a bill for that amount through the Bibb company, although, as a matter of the methods exposed, and suggested to witness to bring an action that would lay the whole matter bare. On reflection Mr. Bibb had decided not to Str up the mess. When asked if he could explain why he had not followed the advice of the Governor witness said he could; but at this point Judge Bel- cher reminded counsel that so far as the chief executive of the State was concerned questions put to witness could not have the latitude allowed in other directions. An attempt to inject Mr. Bibb's correspondence with the Governor into the record was also de- nied by the court. It was developed in the Slade Lum- ber Company books during the exami- nation of Slade in the morning that William Inglis had been in the employ ———— The Soft Glow of the Tea Rose HALE'S CLEARANCE SALE.

This is the same Inglis—the son of Chairman Colnon’s | bondsman—whom Mr. Bibb alleges tried to hold him up for $250 a month, with the understanding that Bibb| should have the lumber contracts which were subsequently awarded to| Slade, when Bibb declined to be| squeezed. The only reason Slade would vouchsafe for the employment | of Inglis was that he thought the young man smart because he had failed in the lumber business for sev- eral thousand dollars. His explanation hand, was that he proved to be “no good.” Slade continued to tangle himself in the mysterious pluralities of the Slade Lumber Company, but insisted that he meant “I” when he said ve’ | and “our.” He could give no satisfac- tory answer to repeated questions as| te how it occurred that S. E. Slade, if he was the Slade Lumber Company, as he testified, should have a private ac- count with S. E. Slade in the S. E.| Slade Lumber Company books. Nor | could he account lucidly for the rec: ords in the Slade Lumber Company books of important affairs pertaining | to the San Francisco Timber Preserv-| ing Company, such as dividend and| discount items. His misty explanation was that in the two sets of books, the one of his own company, the other of the Dundon-Slade creosoting combine, | was carried out a system of ‘“cross entries.” GOV. R e BUDD’S POSITION. His Recommendation to Re- vive the Harbor Board Law. Three weeks after Mr. Bibb had his related experience with Chairman Col- non and the man with “the pull,” he looked up Governor Budd at the Palace Hotel and related the facts. Subse- quently he wrote a letter to the Gov- ernor on the subject. A year after- ward, when the Harbor Commission had requested informal bids for a year's supply of lumber, Mr. Bibb again wrote to the Governor, as follows: ““The board has verbally asked for bids on lumber, urgent repairs, and I sent in bid as you advised me. I con- sider that there is ‘a nigger in the fence,” and I would like to see you per- sonally about this matter.” In conclusion, Mr. Bibb asked for an appointment with the Governor. He received from the Governor's private secretary a letter in which it was stat- ed that his request could not be at- tended to at that time, owing to the pressure of business in the executive | department, resulting from the legis- lative session, the. Governor having no less than 200 bills before him for con- sideration. His letter was filed for reference, and nothing more came of it. The Governor was seen at his rooms in the Palace Hotel yesterday and re- sented any inference or intimation that he was made fully cognizant of collu- sive dealing between Colnon and In- glis. He admits that Bibb informed him that Colnon wanted to take care | of some Stockton friend of his named | Inglis. He advised Bibb that if the | board did not treat him fairly "he | should bring an action against them. That is to say, he suggested to Bibb | that in the event he had the lowest | bid he should go for the board and de- mand the contract. If the board then rejected his bid the Governor urged that he bring suit, promising that he as Governor would stand behind it. Upon receiving the first letter from Bibb he referred the matter to the Attorney-General, who handed down an opinion that under the law the board could purchase without adver- | of price before that date. T tising for bids in all save two cases, neither of which pertained to the lum- ber contracts in question. A copy of this opinion he forwarded to Mr. Bibb. Subsequently, when the Governor de- livered his message at the opening of the: Legislature, he recommended a complete revision of the board and a | sweeping reform in its administrative methods. Among other specific changes he urged: Whether there be any further change or not in the water front, I would es- pecially recommend that all bills or claims contracted or allowed by the Har- bor Commissioners should be subject to the approval of the State Board of Ex- aminers, and that the latter board should have power, by unanimous vote, to limit the number of its employes and fix their compensation; that all new work on walls, buildings and other improvements under the act of 1876 (except urgency re- pairs, which could be made on report of the engineer to the board), and that con- tracts to furnish all supplies of lumber, coal and other articles purchased in large quantities should be, after competi- tive bidding, let to the lowest bidder, as is usual in other departments of the State’s government. This board spends annually $600,000 which expenditure should be surrounded by all possible safe- guards. While the present audit of the Harbor Commission’s claims may be en- tirely free from criticisms, common jus- tice requires that its demands be treated as are the demands of the other depart- ments of the State, and that all alike submit their claims to one common audit- ing board, the State Board of Examiners. The Legislature of California, by act approved March 17, 1891, provided a fund “for the construction and furnishing’ “of a general ferry and passenger depot” at or near the foot of Market street, in the city and county of San Francisco, and to ‘“‘cost not to exceed $600,000.” Thereafter the Harbor Commissioners, groceedlng to construct such building, ad plans and specifications prepared and instead of expending $600,000 thereon, it contracted for the construction of the foundation and superstructure as separ- ate and distinct works, and it expended in the construction of the foundation and approaches alone the sum of $336,202 60, and will expend in the superstructure, or what they delight to call the building, the $600,000 voted by the people. There can be no question that the intent of the act was that the building—foundation, walls, roof, furniture and all—should cost not to exceed $600,000, and it would not have cost to exceed that amount had the law compelled the Harbor Commis- sloners to proceed under the act of March 23, 1876. The Governor further was interested inhaving a measure in conformity with his recommendations introduced to the Legislature and passed. The Harbor Commission lobby opposed the propo- sition, contending that the present sys- tem was satisfactory, and as a conse- quence the committee having this par- ticular recommendation in charge did not frame, or, at least, did not intro- duce a bill comprehending its purpose. NOT AN ARCTIC SHAKE. Some Necessary Explanations Are in Order. To prevent misconception, Lyons says he will continue to carry on his business at 721 Market street, in the Bancroft building, and at 302 Kearny street, but he intends closing up his old store at 1212 and 1214 Market street, above Sixth, as soon as he can dispose of the goods which are there.
