B. Young, Mr. Cronin testified that he did not desire to be understood as saying | that the architect or Harbor Commission- ers authorized him to ignore the specifica- tions, but advised him to do the work in a workman-like manner. In the evening the Senate investigating committee convened at 8 o'clock, and fnci- dentally tested the iluminating facilities of the Harhor Commissioners' apa-tments of the Union Depot while giving attantion to the statements of Contractor . Bateman. who had the contract for car- penter, plaster and glazing work. He tes- tified that iron braces, steel beams, joist anchors, and other material cost a great deal more money than the prices esti- mated by the expert. The cost of his work was increased by numerous delays for which he was not responsible. He said he | complained of the obstructions and placed | many of his complaints before Mr. Robin- :;)o“r( who was superintendent of construc- Senator Dickinson called E. L. Colnon, Harbor Commissioner, to the witncss stand. Mr. Colnon, repiying to questions, testified: “T began my duties as Commis- sioner in March, 1895. The foundation of the depot was then half finished and the plans for the superstructure had been pre- pared. The sum of $400) had been allowed the architect, A. Page Brown, but no pr posals had been invited. No other archi tect than Mr. Brown, so far as I know, had been consulted. My fellow Commis sloners were Dan T. Cole and F. 8, Chad | bourne. Contracts were awarded Decem- ber 24, 1885, on plans prepared by Mr. Brown. Architect Percy was employed to expert the plans. There was a great deal of newspaper criticisra_about this time. It was sald that the plans had been so drawn that local iron men were excluded from bidding. 1 was the private secretary of Governor Budd just before my appoint- ment, and 1 thought It best to have the | foundation experted, as mnewspaper rc- | ports represented the foundation work as inferior. | “Mr. Percy did not change the plans | arawn by Mr. Brown and bids were re- | celved on the original plans. but no work | was done until nearly a year had elapged.

The | contract price of the stone was $230.000." | Replying to further questions by the | chairman_ Mr. Colnon testified that the | misiake in building the depot was the | failure to keep within the limit of $§00,000. Exhaustive tests were made of the stone and.no mistake was made in accepting the Colusa material, as the tests demon- strated its superiority. Senator Dickinson asked what right the board had to exceed $600,000 or adopt The Confmissioner sald the board con- sulted the Governor and Attorney Gen- eral. Some of the changes were suggest- ed by the demands of the transportation companies. In the course of his testimony the wit- | ness testified that he did not participate in the changes, but subsequently added that the Harbor Commissioners ~were unanimous on all questions relating to the construction of the building.” AN OLD XNIGHT TEMPLAR. | James Harvey Helm'Dies at the Res- idence of His Niece After a Brief Illness. James Harvey Helm, a ploneer, died at the residence of his nlece, Mrs. M. O. Austin, 3583 Nineteenth street, on Mon: vular disease of the heart. He was born in Illinois on September 11, 1826, and was c.ucated in New York. He came to California across the plains In 1850, and located in Grass Valley, where he de a fortune in mining. There he married Elizabeth McCarthy, and four children were born to them. Two sons are allve—J. D, Helm, who is mining in the State of Washington, and H. H. Helm, who Is looking after mines in Ari- zona. The deceased took up his residence in this city in 1878, and was one of the charter members of the first Knights Templar lodge—California No. 1. He took an active interest in Masonry, and the funeral will ‘be under the auspices of the Masonic order.

RAINIER STRUCK HIS CLASS IN THE LAST EVENT BERNAR- | DILLO SHONE BRILLIANTLY. Mamje G Outsprinted by Midlight. Elizabeth R Left the Maiden Class—Four First Choices in Front. ‘With the exception of Briar Sweet, it is quite evident after yesterday's per- | formance that La Goleta, the Santa | Anita stable’s fiyer, holds all of the other three-year-old fillies in California safe. She met Napamax in the fourth race on the card at Oakland, over a mile, and never very hard pressed, won as she pleased in 1:40 flat. The winner opened in the betting at 4 to 5, and was played down to 1 to 2. Napamax, as usual, ran gamely, but was simply carried off her | feet by the superior piece of racing fur- | niture. Cromwell was the only other | starter. | The card looked a hard one to guess, | still it proved the means of attracting a jarge and persevering crowd. Some very { warm tips were passed around, but the majority of them were tried out and found wanting. The favorites passed a pleasurable afternoon, attaching them- { selves to four of the purses offered. In the opening four and a half furlong | seramble for maiden two-year-olds Engea demonstrated beyond doubt that she is | not a stayer. Starting a 6 to 5 favorite, | | she led to the stretch and then closed up, like a jackknife. It was then smooth sailing for Charley Gray on Elizabeth R, | which won romping from Limatus. Twelve evenly classed selling _platers lined up in the sprint over the Futurity | course that followed, and spicy prices | were obtainable against any of them. Through a most persuasive plece of saddle work, Cash Sloan, on Cardwell, 2 6 to 1 shot, landed his mount winner a neck in front of Jack o' Lantern, the favorite. Brown Prince, a despised outsider, took the show. The mile selling event was nothing more than a warming-up gallop for the two- year-old Rainier. The ring laid 6 to 5 about him, and McCarthy made a run- away race of it, Guilder, with Spencer up, secured the place from Prince Blazes in hard drive. The Kettleman Brothers won their first race of the meeting with Midlight. The filly was a pronounced favorite for the six-furlong spin, fifth on the card, and after Iying in third position to the stretch drew away, winning easily from Mamie G. { Little Johnny Reiff got up with Libertine in time to get the show from the 100 to 1 | shot, Ricardo. | _In the final mile and a sixteenth run, | Bernardtllo, starting a mild favorite; looked all the way like ready money, and called to a drive the last few yards led Gotobed out a head in 1:47%. Whitcomb was third. i ———— Track Notes. John O'Neil, the partner of Frank Eck- ert in the bookmaking business, arrived from the East Monday night and was about the ring vesterday.

HALE DOES NOT Write Testimonials, but Does Good In Another Way, My husband, Dr. Hale, does not write »ecommendations, but he always rec- smmeénds to his patients the use of Postum Food Coffee in place of com- mon coffee. ‘We mix the Postum with just enough egg (white and yolk beaten together) to moisten it a little, then the Postum does not boll up around the edges of the coffee pot as it does when moist- ened with water alone, and we think it tastes richer and seems clearer. This does not take the place of con- tinued boiling, for we have no way to get the rich taste out of Postum ex- cept by knowing that it has been al- T wed to boil fifteen or twenty min- utes,after the real bolling begins. Many make a mistake by counting e fifteen minutes from the time they put the pot on the stove, but this will not do. I have never had any liver trouble since I began the use of Pos- tum, whereas before 1 was constantly troubled with a sluggish Hver.

The big sale of yearlings from Napa Stock Farm, the property of A. B. Spreck- els, attracted about all the horsemen in town to Killlp & Co.'s salesyard: last night. They attended the sale prepared to buy, and as one after another of the strapping, fine looking youngsters were led into the ring, the bidding became ofd- fashioned, sharp and spirited.

A LITTLE STATEMENT OF THEIR OWN SCHOOL DIRECTORS PROMPTLY HURL THE LIE. With Figures From the Books They ‘Will Put the Grand Jury Re- port to the Blush. School Directors Waller and Gallagher are not satisfiled with the report of School Department discrepancies and shortages furnished the Grand Jury by Chairman Irving. Neither for that mat- -ter is purchasing agent Bantel, nor his assistant, Secretary Welch, and in three days by the watch a true statement, duly certified and attested, will issue from somewhere in the inner workings of the dezarlment. ‘This by the word of Waller. nd the new statement is already cal- culated by its ngosm romulgators to put to the blush the awful array of HE. ures that Irving and Kilpatrick have tak- en from such untrustworthy sources as the books of Auditor Broderick and the Treasurer. The figures of the department reports will come right off the depart- ment books and will be the only Simon pure thing %'Iet unloaded on the public since the School Board kettle has been a-bubbling. This, also, by the word of Waller. Almost every one of the Directors took occasion yesterday to deny the figures published from the report submitted to the Grand Jury. That there is a deficit of $271,000 to bequeath to the incoming board is declared a malicious lie. But the board, individually, are equally unan- imous that no dne of them is familiar with the department books or knows within a wide approximation how the fig- ures will stack ulp. But everythlnf before the Grand Jury is a lie on general princi- ples, and it is the object of the threat- ened forthcoming “official statement” to get the lie right and retire Juryman Iry- ing to embarrassed obscurity, which is also vouched for by Waller. ——e—————— LIEUT.
