THE SAN FRANC CO CALL, STTLL SEARCHING FOR NR. COLNON'S SAVINGS Result of the Investigation Regarding the State’s Indebtedness to the Honorable Harbor Commissioner.

He y: that by substituting Colusa sandstor for Oregon gr tion of the o r walls of the bu there was saved to the State a sum ap- proximating $53,000. The Call is in a position to prove the | entire falsity of this statement, as well as to prove that the s stitution re- ferred to was made at a cost to the State of not 1 than $11,000, to say | nothing cof a saving to the contractor of something like $50,000.

The s referred to, having these' their p ion, submitted als to the Board of Harbor Com- oners in which this difference in e cost of the two materials was made app: nt. McCarthy, on the other hand, did not put in a bid in which the Colusa stone figured as the material to ‘be used. His failure to do so netted him on this particular item of material, him § other pear, but it does appear that when the time came for him to perform the work as provided for by the terms of his contract the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners came to his rescue with a “change’” in the plans and spe- cifications. Tennessee marble was substituted for white enameled terra cotta in the grand nave. the contract price, though the saving to the contractor was $13,896. Common bric was substituted for Roman pressed and molded brick at the ends of the building. The cost of Roman brick is $75 a thousand. Common brick sells No change was made in |z, Mrs. Mamie Aubertine, | | tract. tract resulted in a loss to the State wholly disproportionate to the profit that accrued to Mr. McCarthy and his friends. With the changing of the style of the floor arches the plasterer was relieved of the necessity of putting on two coats of plaster over an area that approxi- | mates twice the entire ground space | of the whole building. The carpenter | was relleved of the necessity of putting in the woodwork necessary to the fin- ish of the mezzanine fioor. The plumber laughed in his sleeve because he saw the work required by the terms of his contract reduced to a minimum. So it goes on down through the entire list of trades necessarily represented in the completion of a building of this class. No doubt Mr. McCarthy felt bad be- cause he could not “hog the,whole cheese,” ds the tough boy would say, but the other contractors were corre: pondingly elated, so the parity of good feeling was preserved and nobody was loser except the State—not even Com- Gflssionel‘ Colnon and his official satel- tes. Mr. Colnon has not seen fit to come to the defense of the acts of himself and his assoclates in reference to con- tracts other than that for masonry, the assumption being that the acts charged against them are not suscept- ible of plausible *~fense. Be that as it may, he will have to make another attempt before he can convince the public that he or any one else hassaved the State $53,000 on the masonry con- A WAITER IN HOT WATER.

To be more explicit McCarthy was | awarded the contract, the material to be used being named as Oregon gray- ston Afterward the material was changed to Colusa sandstone, the con- | tract price remaining unchanged. As| the Colusa stone cost McCarthy $11,- 000 less than the Oregon stonme, it does | not require the services of a llghlning‘ calculator to demonstrate the fact that he was ahead just that amount of money by the operation, and the State was _a proportionate loser. So much for Mr. Calnon’s claim regarding the stone contract. The facts as above recited are sus- ceptible of proof. The dates, figures and the names of witnesses are in the possession of The Call, and will be given to the proper authorities or to any interested person upon aprlication. | The item of stone is not by anymeans the only costly bit of jugglery that was practiced in connection with the ma- | gonry contract. Other ‘“changes” equally profitable to the contractor, and possibly to those instrumental in bringing them about, were inaugurated from time to time. One of the principal jtems in the long list was that relating to the terra-cotta work. It was on ac- | count of this material that,McCarthy | Was enabled to secure the orlginal con- | tract by underbidding his competitors. | Terra cotta was the principal mate- yial named for interior construction | work. McCarthy agreed to furnish it at a cost of 12 cents a square foot, while | the lowest price named by any other | bidder was 22 cents a square foot.

For this change Mc- Carthy was paid $2416 in addition to his The negative assump- tion implied in the adage that “A fair robbery” justifies the belief that this transaction was some- thing very nearly approaching a “hold- This is not the end of the story, how- ever. The masonry contract, having | proved ftself to be a teat from which | the State’s funds could be milked with- out protest, the good work went mer- rily on. The next.‘‘change” included the omission of the terra cotta caps, plinths, bases and stfing courses from | a little matter that | the grand nave, effected a saving to the contractor of $3345. Then came the substitution of vellow brick for Roman pressed and molded brick above the marble wains- coting in the grand nave. This netted a neat little profit, the amount of which has not yet been computed. These were small matters, however, when comnared with the next unde taking in the way of a ‘‘change.” The specifications under which Mr. McCar- thy was granted the contract for do- | | ing the masonry work called for terra | cotta arches and steel tie rodsunder the mezzanine and the second story floors. As Mr. McCarthy was unableto furnish the necessary terra cotta except at a loss to himself, for reasons already set forth, Commissioner Colnon and his & sociates in the board, aided by Archi- tect Swain, rushed to the rescue with a suggestion that saved the contractor something more than $12,000, and re- sulted in providing the building with a | set of floor arches a few degrees more inartistic, to say nothing of their util- ity, than any to be found in this or any other city. Instead of the terra cotta arches originally provided for McCar- thy was allowed to construct concrete and expanded metal arches, the State furnishing the cement for the concrete, the cement being the rrincipal item of cost.

By the time the masonry contract had reached this very remunerative point in its existence other contractors had been taken into the fold, and it was found that the appropriation, orig- inally more than sufficient for the com- pletion of the structure, was running short. A conference of the powers was held and it was decided to reduce ex- penses by omitting the finish of the en- tire mezzanine floor. Here is where the masonry contractor made another ten strike. As originally planned the mezzanine floor was to be divided into thirty-five rooms. The partitions were to be built of terra cotta. It is barely possible that the fact that Mr. Mec- Carthy was short on terra cotta may have had some weight with the honor- able Commisgioners in coming to an agreement regarding the omission of the mezzanine floor finish. At any rate the contractor benefited by the decision to an extent that should not be hard for a Grand Jury expert to figure out. Unfortunately for thetaxpayers these various changes in the masonry com- | tal City. not only refused to give her money but he would not pay the rent. As a result, the family has been in destitute circum- stances for a long time. Yesterday Aubertine walked into the of- fice of the society and said that he had heard that there was a warrant out for his arrest, and this news reaching his employers, had caused him to lose his position. Colonel Dimphel had not sworn to any warrant, but he wanted to catch the man, so he placed him under arrest and got out the warrant afterward. The charge is refusing to provide for his chil- dren, for the man told the secretary that he would not support his family. ——————— ‘WILL ADOPT ALICE LOY.

GUS GARSON, 238 Kearny street, near Bush, sells “STANDARD" shirts, v 7 |aid and engineer officer, accompanied by First Lieutenant Charles G. Meno- her, ordnance officer at the Presidio, yesterday made an examination of the fortifications at Fort Point. Although General Shafter is perfectly familiar with every detail connected with the defenses of San Francisco harbor, yet of late so much important work has been done that this visit was consid- | ered necessary to keep posted on the | new work as it progresses. The ten- inch rifles, 12-inch guns and the mor- tar batteries, the emplacements for five-inch rapid-firing guns were all thoroughly inspected and founa to be in perfect condition and ready to with- stand the approach of any foreign war vessel that might attempt to enter the harbor through the narrow channel between Fort Point and Fort Baker (Lime Point). These officers under- | stand exactly what is needed to put | this city in a perfect state of defense, | and the War Department will be re- | quested to furnish what is necessary to carry out their views. General Shafter was evidently well satisfled with the condition of affairs. | After his return to headquarters in the city he expressed his satisfaction. Speaking of the garrison, he said: ‘The | troops on duty are sufficient to care | for the high-power guns and keep them |in readiness for use, but the force is not large enough to man the guns in | the event of war. Should war come | volunteers would probably be called | into service to assist in manning the batteries.” ‘When asked if the works defending San Francisco were ample to resist any fleet that Spain could send to the Pa- cific, the general replied: iscnd nothing here. Her ships and men | would be needed elsewhere.” the Pacific Division iscommendable. The activity of the Engineer Corps of In| WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1898. power guns can be made on this coast. The ordinary charge of powder for a 12-inch rifle is 450 pounds. The charge must give to the 1000 pound projectile an initial velocity of 2100 feet per sec- ond, but must not impose too great a pressure on the gun. The ordnance officers here found no difficulty in ob- taining the required velocity from the charge, but the pressure exceeded the Government limit. The objective ele- ments were gradually eliminated, and now the works in California can sup- ply powder of the grade demanded. | Colonel James M. Moore, chief quar- | termaster of the Department of Cali- fornia, left the city for San Diego last evening to arrange some important matters concerning transportation to Ballast Point from San Diego, and for the erection of barracks at the battery commanding the approach to that I harbor. | MEMORIAL WINDOW. Appropriate Services Held at the Chapel of the Holy Innocents. On Sunday, March 20, at the Chapel of the Holy Innocents, after morning pray- er and celebration of holy communion, was held the service of dedication of the memorial glass window which has lately been placed in the chapel by A. C. Hur- rell in memory of his late wife. The vested choir sang an appropriate hymn, after which the Rev. E. B. Spauld- ing, rector of St. John's Parish, made the following remarks: “We are called upon to-day to set epart in the Chapel of the Holy Innocents a memorial to a beloved wife, and at the same time to the honor and glory of God. The memorial has two natures which are not always considered—one, its beauty and costiiness; the other, instead of be- vg jiaced in some lonely graveyard or mausoleum, it is placed in the house of God, where it may be a benediction to others who will come here for his honor and glory and for his worship. “It is gratifying to think that this | beautiful window will look down upon those who, as the years roll by, will galher to listen to the teachings of the | dear Master, and that it will be to them | an encouragement to remain in His ser- | vice. I therefore ask you to unite with me in prayer to God for the benediction of this window.” The usual prayers upon such occasions were then offered, after which the con- gregation disbanded with the customary retrocessional hymn. THE BELGIC PUT IN QUARANTINE A Case of Smallpox Developed During the Voyage Here. Sailing of the Steamer Moana for Australia Delayed Until This Evening. The steamer Belgic arrived from Hong- kong via Yokohama and Honolulu yes- | terday. She was delayed somewhat by | the northwest gale but was not much be- hind her schedule time. Between Hong- | kong and Yokohama one of the Chinese passengers was taken sick with smallpox and was landed at the latter port. As soon as Dr. hosenau boarded the vessel he ordered the yellow flag raised and then awaited the arrival of Dr. Hill, the State | quarantine officer. After a consultation it | was decided to land the maii and the cabin passengers, but to fumigate the ship and the crew. This was accordingly done | and late last night the steamer went to | her dock. The steamer Umatilla sailed for Puget Sound ports yesterday. She took away 470 passengers, of whom seventy-five were bound for the gold fields. The departure of the Umatilla was somewhat delayed as she had to await the arrival of the Santa Rosa with fruit from southern ports for the sound. The English mail to be dispatched by the steamship Moana, due to arrive in this city this morning, will not arrive un- til this afternoon, and in consequence the steamer will not safl until 10 p. m. Captain Gray, superintendent of the Shipowners' and Merchants' Towboat Company, was on ‘Change again yester- day. He has been absent from the city for two weeks on business in Puget Sound. He says he enjoyed his trip and is Tooking well, but asserts that there Is no place like California. Lester A. Young, a_ship carpenter em- ployed on the Two Brothers, fell down that vessel's hold yesterday and sustained a fracture of the base of the skull. He was treated by Dr. Hartley of the Har- bor Recefving Hospital, who considers his chances of recovery very slight. Young lived with his parents at $4 Mission street. For several months past Chief Whart- inger Root and Assistant Chief Wharfin- ger Scott have been taking their lunch- eon aboard the ferry steamer Tiburon and “Henry,' the cook, had worked his way into their good graces by means of the many nice dishes he prepared for them. Henry was tired of life on a ferry steamer so Mr. Scott gave him a letter of | introduction_to Captain A. I Lowell of the new lightship. Henry at once hied himself to Murray & Ready, the employ. ment agents, and sold the letter of intro- duction. The latter then resold it to a man named Parkenson for $4&. The letter was inclosed in an envelope bearing the stamp of the chief wharfinger and thither went Parkenson yesterday to learn where he could find Laptain Lowell. The man he inquired of was the writer of the letter himself and in a few seconds he was telling Murray & Ready what he thought of them over the telephone. The letter was torn up and Parkenson went back to the employment agents to re- cover his $1. ——————— Partners at Outs. M.

The trial of Albert Hoff was resumed before Judge Carroll Cook and jury yes- terday, Dr. Inman was first called to the stand for cross-examination, and stated that he was called to the house at 803 Guerrero street after the tragedy was committed. He stated that on his arrivel at the house he had found the body of Mrs. Clute lying on the floor and that the body was In a lifeless state at the time of discovery. A. Gallaten, a vegetable peddler, testi- fied that he had visited the home of Mrs. Clute at 803 Guerrero street at the insti- gation of witness Legg. He saw the body | of Mrs. Clute lyingeon the floor. Numer- ous other witneésses followed who repes ed the testimony given at the preliminary examination. Policemen Filben and Riordan told of how they had been detailed on the case. and they were foliowed by Robert Gobel, | a shoemaker, who stated that Hoff had slept with him on the evening of the murder; and had exhibited a scratch on the left hand which had been declared was the result of taking up matting in the house of some lady not named by the defendant. Thomas Hannon, a laborer, stated that ne had_visited a grocery store on the corner of Van Ness and Turk streets on the morning after the tragedy and that Hoff came in as he was reading the account of the murder, and stated teat it looked bad for him, as he was laying carpet in the house the previous day. Gobel told him while in the store not to talk so much, and words passed between them. Henry Diercks, a partner the grocery concern at V: s and ‘urk sireet. testified tha cen Hoff in the store on the worning after | the tragedy, but his mind was a blank cn other subjects. Then came testimony regarding the wounas received by Mrs. Clute Vario physicians testified to the same tuna given at the previous examination. and it was afterward discovered that Hoff had been worried by the statem:nts of Han- non that he fitted the description given by the papers following the murder. The witnesses for the prosecution will follow to-day. Dr. Gallagher, autopsy physician at the Morgue, testified relative to the wounds found on the head of the de- ceased. He was of the opinion that the { coupling pin held as evidence against Hoff would produce wounds similar to those found on the decedent. The trial will be resumed to-day. i ' The Lelys’ Concert.
