Im- mediately after securing this money she telegraphed to her husband to con immediately to San Francisco. This ram was delivered to Kennedy by pecial messenger at his home, four miles from the telegraph office, and im- mediately on its receipt he started for San Francisco, and on his arrival iIn| this city met Dr. Ragan and was im- | mediately afterward appointed as sub- stitute teacher. He reported every day at the school to which he had been assigned, and for th ice drew $1 each day from the city treasury. He was soon promoted to the position of regular teacher, and gned under Principal E. C. Kilpat- ric Owing to differences between Kennedy and Kilpatrick, the former was transferred by Director Ragan to a more congenial schocl. Before the Grand Jury yesterday Kennedy stated positively that he nev- er paid to Ragan or anyone else 1 cent for his position. George Atherton was called, and tes- tified that it was common rumor that certain teachers had paid for their po- siticns. He will appear before the jury at its next meeting and give names, dates and amounts of money paid. He said that it was common rumor that G. E. Stanton had paid money to Dr. Ra- gan for his place. | E. C. Kilpatrick was called, and pre- sented his affidavit andstatement which has already been published, and which declares that Stanton had paill Ragan for his position. He said that it was common talk that Kennedy had paid Ragan for his place with money that he had berrowed from Kampe. His testi- mony was confined to the Stanton case alone. An effort was made to have a sub- | pena served on Mrs. Kampe, in order that she may tell what she knows about ! the borrowing of money from her hus- | band by Mrs. Kennedy, but Mrs. Kampe | is said to be in the East, and could not | be found. | The Grand Jury adjourned until next Monday, when the investigation will be | continued. Notwithstanding the asser- tions of Kennedy that he paid no mon- | ey for his position, a number of the Grand Jurcrs are of the opinion that he secured the place by the payment of cash. | ser’ - Ragan Filed His Answer. School Director Ragan filed his answer to the Kilpatrick complaint vesterday morning in Judge Cook's department of the Superior Court. He was accompanied by his attorneys, W. W. Foote and A. J. Clunie, who informed the court that Ra. gan had waived the statutory ten days’ | time in which to answer and asked the | sourt to set the case for hearing without Attorneys Aldrich and Deuprey 1 against an early hearing of the but as the defendant’s attorneys re- - demand Judge Cook placed the = on the calendar for evening. Tn his answer Dr. Ragan specifically de- nies all the allegations of Kilpatrick's complaint, in which he is accused of offer- ing to accept bribes in return for prom- es of positions as teachers in the public next Monday MARTEAU AND THE SYMPHONY. 1st as the membe : . patrons dnd crit- fes of the Symphony Society are getting used to the luxury of- two concerts to the month, with good music, good band leader, what must the en- do The and first-rate terprising directors high-class soloist paying handsome subscriptions ran high in the thous before the season had commenced; the ladies—God bless 'em—took It into their heads that it would be the real cultured and the but throw in concerts made to be the swellest thing in town. ‘And all without the first sign or promiee of a soloist. Perhaps it was too wonder- ful to have lasted; but now we never shall know. Marteau, the first soloist, has played. He is an artist, and his success with the audience was SO swift and unanimous that already I tremble for the concerts to come. The symphony au- Qiences here are, as a whole, handsome, modishly robed, clegantly hatted and nicely mannered; but they are not, as a whole or as a half, musical in that higher degree which absolutely craves such con- certs as Scheel has given us.

If they could all be Marteaus | | it would be different; but San Francisco |is so situated on ‘the map that of | necessity good sololsts must be few and far between. There would al- ways be that horrible alternative of the resident artist. And, laying aside | all foollshness of local pride, there is not one instrumentalist in the townships of | San Francisco, Oakland and Alameda who could appear as soloist with the present Scheel orchestra without dis- I have melancholy souvenirs of s and other symphony seasons that were disfigured by the interpolation of local virtuosi. As luck would have it at yesterday’s concert the symphony—Hermann Goetz's first and only—was a dull one. It was new to me, and 1 frankly confess that I am not anxious for a more extended ac- quaintance with its difficult charms. The only composer who ever lured me to seek the poetry in his prose was Brahms. 1 rew hollow-chested and long-eared hunt- ng humanness under his glacial formal- ity. I respect but do not envy the per- sons who can call Goetz great. In the | first movement—allegro moderato—where | the subtle profundity is said to lie, I | heard nothing but superficial dullness. | The intermezzo and the adagio are | sprightlier, warmer and much more imaginative; the finale, “which, of itself,” says one annotator, “is a sufficient indi- | cation of the success this brilliant com- | poser might have achieved as a sym- phony writer had not death cut him down in the very threshold of his career,” sounded to me to be clumsy and trite, the climax banally lacking in invention and | emphasis. And 1 do not think that any | of my unappreciation was due to Scheel, who played the symphony with every ossible care. The best Wagner playing cheel has done in many a day was in the Wagner “Faust” overture; the strings | were a bit muddy in the roaring pass- | ages at the close, but otherwise the band behaved splendidly, and for once Scheel seemed to go in less for Richard's huge stride and sway and more for his human analysis. Tschaikowsky’s Italian caprice came last on a programme so long that even the god of modern Russia in one of his most rhythmical and popular moods could not keep more than two-thirdsof the audience in_their chairs. Scheel must have been affected by the restless atmos- ghere, for he gave the piece about one- alf the usual color and smash. Marteau's success is unquestionable. He plays with the freshness and piquancy of youth without any of its usual extrava- gance or bumptiousness; in fact, at times there is in his work an almost austerity that seems incongruous with his lithe, young presence. He is not a passionato | | seemed worth pursuing, and the lady an- THE fiddler, nor a notably powerful one; charm, I think, lies ‘most especlally delicacy and certainty of enunciation. played the first two movements of the Bruch G mincr concerto with phenomenal delicacy; his technique was easy, even and irreproachable; and in the liquid pas- sages of the adagio he played with a feel- ing that was none the less poetic and beautiful for the characteristic restraint laid upon it. In the first bars of the finale his tone was miniature compared with the full crash called for by the music, but he met the other various difficulties of the move- ment with unerring leap and poise; and in an encore, Wagner’s “Albumblatt,” he brought out & tone that was cordial and round. But best of all was the first of the Bach sonatas for violin alone, of which Mar- teau gave a truly faultless performance. He elucidated what for me had always been the incomprehensible adagio; he crystalized the fugue until I could all but see it; and he took the presto at a suicide pace without blurring a single note. * ASHTON STEVENS. ————— WAS TIRED OF LIFE. Dines Nelson, Contemplating Suicide by Drowning and Hanging, Blows Out His Brains. Dines Nelson, a laundryman, who work- ed at the San Francisco Laundry, 1519 Eddy street, shot himself last evening at the foot of Filbert street, near the sea- wall. The bullet entered the right tem- ple and passed clear through the head. In his pocket was a note which stated that he was poor and had no place to go. The man had evidently been contem- plating suicide by a different means, as he had a piece of window cord in his pocket. His close proximity to the water leads to the bellef that it might also have been his intention to drown himself. The istol was a new one and he had a full box of cartridges in his pocket. Nelson was a Swede and about 40 years old. NEW FIELD | FOR CRITICS Merry Andrews Wants One Who Knows What Art Is. his He Advertises His Yearnings and the Fact That He Can’t Write Very Well.

This quantity will provide a full complement for the forty-two magazines of the ship. To-day the powder, shot and shell will be brought from Mare Is- land to the Oregon's anchorage in Mis- sion bay. Officers of the navy comment on the fact that the ammunition must be brought to the ship, because the ship cannot go to the naval station at Mare Island to receive supplies. Of the fifty million dollars voted by an urgent necessity for the expendi- ture of $250,000 for dredging at Mare Island and enlarging the dock at Mare esel drift against the Oregon in a “norther,” such as swept the bay yes- pellers of the battle-ship, the results would be serious.

To be sure the wording was vague, but she discerned in it a promise of something suited to her talents.

Stratton Was Em- | ployed When He Re- fused to Act. | He Declined to Defend Suits Brought Against the Har- | bor Commission. | The Attorney Would Not Appear in Actions in Which He Believead the Commission Wrong. The proceedings at the trial of the injunction suit brought by the Paraf- | fine Paint Company against the State | Board of Harbor Commissioners were dull and uninteresting yesterday. Th witnesses called were examined on technical points and there was noth-| ing to relieve the monotony. Attorney Tirey L. Ford was recalled and examined relative to the employ- ment of Attorney F. S. Stratton by the | Harbor Commissioners as special coun- | sel. The testimony of Ford, although | | rather reluctantly given, showed that | Stratton had been specially employed | when Ford declined to defend the board | in suits where he believed the law was | against the Commissioners’ side of the | case. | Ford testified that the only case in| which he had requested the employ- | ment of other counsel was in the case | of Healy, Tibbetts & Co., against the | board, in which it was sought to en-| join the board from receiving bids on a | | patented process for creosoting piles. | | When asked his reasons for desiring | | the board to employ other counsel m} that case, Ford said that he had come | | to the conclusion, after an examination | | of the case, that the specifications ac-| cepted by the board did not admit of | fair competition as to the cre- osoting process of preserving piles. |He said he had consulted the | chief enmgineer as to facts | the | sions. He further testified that he told | | the board he did not feel he ought to | present a defense to the court which | | he did not believe in himself. The ’buard thereupon employed Stratton and | Ford turned the case over to him, ex- plaining to Stratton why he, Ford,'did | not care to try the case. Ford said | he was not subsequently consulted as to specifications for the preservation of | piles. | He said he had examined the claims of the S. E. Slade Lumber Company | that were contested in the Pacific Pine Lumber Company cases, and had | | reached the conclusion that they were | | all valld except a small portion, about | | which there was some doubt. | | W. G. Curtis, superintendent of the| | maintenance of way department of the | | Southern Pacific Company, Wwas mext | | examined concerning his idea of the | | proper manner of creosoting piles. He <‘tes(ifled that the method known as the | Isaacs & Curtis process, of which he | is one of the patentees, was in his opin- | | ion the best method for timber pre- | | serving. He admitted having had sev- | eral conversations with Commissioner | Colnon, in which he advised Colnon | that the Isaacs & Curtis process was | better than any in_use. Chief Engineer Holmes and James Godfrey were questioned at considera- | ble length concerning the condition of | | the piles used In wharf repair. They | were of the opinion that all of the piles | delivered by the several constructing companies had been properly treated to | prevent the ravages of teredos.
