WOULD DROP SIX TEACHERS DECLARES RECENT APPOINT- MENTS TO BE ILLEGAL. The Board Fails to Hold the Special Session Called, but Has a Secret Caucus. 7 The special meeting of the School Board called for yesterday afternoon was not held. A quorum of the members was present at the rooms of the board, but they went into a secret session as com- mittee of the whole and did not finish their deliberations until evening. The principal topic discussed was the pro- posed completion of the coping and ma- sonry about the new Mission High School. The estimated cost is §15,000. Objection was raised to a decision at this time, when the board does not know its own financial condition. After lengthy discus- ston among the members it was finally decided to postpone action until next week Wednesday, when the clerk will present a flnanclal statement which will inform the board as to where it stands and whether there will be sufficient money to make the proposed improve- ment. President Barrington has a surprise in store for the board at its next meeting. He would have sprung it yesterday ha he been given an opportunify. The pres dent says that he considers the recent ap- nt of twenty-three additional eachers to have a al aspect. He will move to have at least six of them stricken from the roll.

IT IS FOR NEW EQYIPMENT EXPLANATIONS FROM COMMIS- | SIONER CLUNIE. Sends a Letter With Check for the Money to'City and County Treasurer C, Reis. The Fire Department {s to be financially assisted by the foreign insurance compa- ntes. This surprising Information became | noised abroad in the city bufldings yester- | day afternoon, as the result of a letter | received by City and County Treasurer | Rels, from State Insurance Commissioner | Clunie. Accompanying the letter was a certified check for $14,635 52, as an earnest of the intentions of the companies con- cerned. It appears that the Insurance companies are not satisflied with the pres- ent equipment of the Fire Department and they openly criticize the Board of Su- pervisors for diverting money from the fund for fire protection to other purposes. Just how far the insurance companies may assist the Fire Department in future is not stated in the communication sent to Treasurer Refs, but a substantial start has been made in the $14,635 52 donation. The letter is given In‘full as follows; SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5, 1898. | Hon. Christian Rels, Treasurer City and | County of San Francisco, City Hall—Dear | Sir: 1 herewith hand you a check for $l4,- 635 62, payable to your order, the proceeds fo be drg:sfln‘i by you to the £p al credit of the Fire Department fund of the city and county of San Francisco, and to be disbursed by order of the Board of Supervisors and Fire Commis- sloners of said city and county for the benefit of its Fire Department. This money consti- tutes part of a fund voluntarily pald to me by fire insurance companies, organized under the laws of forelgn countries, and of the State of Connecticut, doing bus s within the State of California, estimated at 1 per cent upon the net premiums received by said companies upon Lusiness transacted by them within the State during the year ending December 31, 187. The terms of this compromise are set forth in the agreements signed by sald companies and my- self, now.on flle in my office, and are 8o lengthy as to preclude thelr insertion here. Suffice it to say that these payments have been made and received by me upon the distinct understanding and agreement that the same are wholly voluntary and not made by virtue of .the mandates or requirements of any law or laws of the State of California. The share of the moneys set aside to San Francisco ap- proximately represents 1 per cent of the pre- miums recefved by such companies during such time on business within the city and county. In view of the fact of the payment of th money having been {urely voluntary, I ha deemed it but just that in exercising the dis- cretion conferred upon me in the distribution of the same that as far as compatible with the interests of our citizens, the money so re- cefved should be expended In such a manner as to best subserve the interests of the people and also those of the companies making the payments, and accordingly I have set the same eside to the Fire Department fund. I am in- formed that the Fire Department is in urgent need of certain apparatus for the extingulsh- ment of fires, which it has been impossible for t to obtain ‘by reason of the shortage in its accounts arlsing from the overdrawing by other departments of the city government of moneys mg:efly belonging to, and which had heretofore been et aside for, the use of this The fac-simile signature of |WIDBER’S CASE | voted by the defense to an effort to show [OJOXCXOXOXOXOYOYOCJOXOXC] can and will ADVERTISEMENTS. foJoToXoXoXoYoYoXoYoRoXoJoROROROXOYOR CROROOROROROROJOROROROROJOJORO] SPECIAL VALUES CHOSEN FROM OUR CHOICE Fall and Winter Stock!

A number of deeds were introduced showing that Wid- ber acquired the Contra Costa property and other holdings many years ago. Louis Jacobs, after the matter of the property was disposed of, took the stand and related how Widber had exhausted every effort to make up the Heaney shortage of $5000. To his knowledge Wid- ber had paid up $3%00 toward meeting the shortage when Heane; absconded. George A. Lowenberg, o Sutro & =€, then testifled that his firm had sold stock belonging to Widber that he might re- allze money to meet the Heaney short- age. Other witnesses testifled to similar facts, and then the aged and heart- broken mother of the accused man took the stand. She stated that in April last she gave her son Permlss(on to take $1500 from the vault where she had her money depose ited, which was used toward making good the shortage of $1500 which was disc ered by Chief Deputy de la Montanya. Harry T. Creswell, ex-City and County Attorney, then stated that Widber had willingly placed all his property at his disposal that the city might lose as little as_possible through the shortage, ‘Widber then took the stand. In sub- stance he stated that he did not take the property; he never substituted silver for gold, and never examined the sacks of coin’ as they came Into the treasury to see whether or not the amounts were as stated on the Mint tags. It was not his custom to interfere with the routine of the office—a fact which he now re- grets. The prosecution endeavored to shake his testimony, but he rigidly ad- hered to his statements made in direct examination. When he left the stand the case went over until to-day for ar gument. —————— Troubles Still Follow Her.
