IRVING AND DUNNE IN A VERBAL JOUST Warm Words in the Jury-Room. JUDGE BELCHER PRESIDED| CHAIRMAN ACCUSES THE AT- TORNEY OF NEGLIGENCE. Absence of Witnesses Makes Diffi- cult the ichool Board Investi- gation by the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury met again last evening to resume its investigation into the af- fairs of the Board of Education, but owing to the absence of important wit- nesses the session was of no avall, and the proceeding resolved itself into an ample scrap between Grand Juryman Irving and Assistant District Attorney Joe Dunne. It was such an unpleasantness as one would expect to see between men high in the political order. There were charges made and unkind things tossed back and The imputations came quick and hot, but couched in such English that Judge Bel- cher, who presided at the ringside, could find no fault. The difference was brought about by the absence of John A. Reynolds, whose ex- of School Board criminality appeared clusively in The Call, and precipitated the present investigation. Chairman Irv- ing needed Reynolds’ testimony, and he left word with District Attorney Dunne to have him subpenaed. Reynolds did not turn up at the meeting last night, and after waiting a reasonable time the jury adjourned to Judge Belcher's courtroom to report a couple of important indict- ments. Judge Belcher filed the papers, and was about to dism the jury, when Mr. Irving got up to say: “Your Honor, I wish to ask if it would be permissible for me to bring in outside counsel to as- sist the inves District Attorney’s office in this ation, providing that I can secure ices of an attorney without ex to this jury? The District Attor- s office is evidently so busy that it cannot give us just the kind of assistance we want at this time.” Judge Belcher did not perceive the veiled significance of Chairman Irving's gently ggestions and he thought it would ery graceful thing to provide help for Mr. Dunne and he said o. Dunne didn’t think so, however, and he did not display the soft phrases of an Irvi in saying so. “I want to say,” ving ; said Dunne, *“that the District Attorney’s office is now and has been willing, anx- fously willing, and competent to give this Grand Jury all of the assistance it needs, and it does not require any imported help in doing so, and I wish here, in the most public and pointed English at my com- mand to resent any imputation of unwi ingness or incompetence, no matter how direct or indirect it may come. But I want to say that I shall always be against finding an indictment against any man on any but legal grounds. ““There is no outside sistance needed or called for and I think it's late in the day to come here with any such cry as this. I've had troubles and fights enough eince this investigation began, but I am in this investigation to work till the last chapter is finished, no matter what impu- tations and no matter what source they come from. ““If this matter is based upon any ques- tion of subpenas for witnesses 1 want to ask your Honor to instruct the gentlemen of the Jurf' to hand in their lists of wit- nesses early and with addresses attached and if necessary the whole police force will be sent out to round them up. But in- stead they wait until the last minute, and 1 can find no one if I have not time enough to do so.” Mr. Irving assured Mr, Dunne that he had intended no im-utation of neglect of duty or incompetence. Quite the con- trary, but at the same time he pointed out that two meetings had been adjourned without result because witnesses had not been haled into the jury room, and_h naturally laid it to the fact that Mr. Dunne was doing at least three, if not four, men’'s work. Mr, Dunne bit his lip_over this rejoin- der, but allowed Judge Belcner to render his decision. The Judge declared it a draw and Instructed the jury that thereafter it should consider none but school matters until the end of its term. It is the intention of the jury to sit every night next week, it its witnesses can be found. If not it is likely that this regular annual school investigation will wind up as have its regular annual pred- ecessors, o WHEN LOVE GROWS COLD. Mrs. Mary Meyers Institutes Suit for Divorce, Alleging Her Hus- band’s Affection Has Waned. After living together—to all outward ap- pearances happily—for three years, Mrs. Mary Meyers yesterday commenced suit for divorce from her husband, Willlam Meyers, alleging cruelty. From the com- plaint it appears that the couple were married by contract three years ago. A recent declsion on the subject of contract marriages aroused Mrs. Meyers’ fears, and she insisted, for the sake of her little daughter, that they be married in accord- ance with the canons of the church. This was on the 1ith of last month, and from that time forth a coolness developed between the couple, which culminated in esterday’s suit. The husband, it is al- eged, declared in the presence of friends There was no wind and selves yesterday, = themselves. Those of them whom the tide those whom the tide was against came to the dog on of the family that he did not love his wife and was, in fact, tired of her, In addition to this, the comflalnt alleges that the husband had_transferred his af- fections to another. He is charged with entertaining a Miss Emily Wreath at din- ner at a well-known restaurant and with paying her other attentions not in keeping with his position. The husband is an_em- ploye of the Union Iron Works. Mrs. Meyers asks for $85 a month alimony, in addition to her attorney’s fees, and the custody of the child. —_——— TRIAL OF WALTER ROSSER. His Prosecution Is i;ing Conducted ‘With More Vigor. ‘Walter Rosser, the youthful slayer of Henry Hilderbrand, must make his fight for liberty against greater odds than at the first trial. The prosecution is con- ducting its case with more vigor, several new witnesses have been summoned to testify on behalf of the people and others are being looked for, Among the new witnesses that testified | yesterday are Stephen Traverson and John Diehl. Diehl insisted that the de- fendant on the day he entered the Spreck- | els market and shot Hilderbrand was ex- | tremely abusive, cursed those who were wa]tlnilon him, helped himself to fruit in C. M. Foster's stand and_did many rovoke trouble. His state- so corroborated in a_measure W. F. Londsay, things to ments are by Stephen Traverson. ”, M. Foster, Dr. J. J. Gallagher, A. Miller and John T. Baxter made the same | statements as on the first trial, to the ef- fect that the killing was unprovoked and to them seemed a cold-blooded murder. The case went over till Monday, owing to the case of the forger Becker, which will be disposed of by Judge Wallace this morning. FORTY-SEVEN MORE DOCTORS OF MEDICINE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT COOPER COLLEGE. The Class of Ninety-Eight Bids Fare- well to Its sedical Alma Mater. Forty-seven young men and women were presented with diplomas at Cooper Medical College last night and the degree | of doctor of medicine conferred upon them. | The auditorium of the big building was | crowded long before the orchestra sound- | ed the first strains of the overture, and | hundreds of people were turned away. At | & few minutes after 8 o’clock the orches- | tra struck up a march, and the members of the graduating class, preceded by the | faculty, filed in. There was a prayer by { Rev. Willlam Rader, a musical selection, | and the veteran physician and president | of the college, Dr. L. C. Lane, stepped to the front of the platform and, after a few brief remarks, presented the diplomas and launched another class out into the world. The valedictory was delivered by Pro- fessor Stanley Stillman, M. D., one of the faculty. He gave the graduates the cus- tomary amount of good and wholesome | advice and bade them the formal farewell in behalf of the faculty. Mayor Phelan gave a short talk on general topics, Rev. | William Rader pronounced the benedic- | tion, and the class of '88 went out from the ‘college walls for the last time as a | class. | Following is a list of the graduates: Longworth Shuttleworth Anderson, Myrtle Alfred Ap Lynne, Josephine Bell, Grant Cal- houn, William Dairymple Carnegie, Willlam | Morrls Carpenter (B. .), Daniel Crosby, Ernest | Maxwell Fine, Jule B.

No Office Rooms Provided — The Building in Its Entirety to Be Leased to One Firm. The improvement of the city in the mat- ter of new and imposing buildings still continues, the latest proposed addition to the list of big structures being contem- plated by the Crocker estate. The site will be the property now occu- pied by Wilson’s restaurant on the north side of Post street, west of Kearny, and adjoining the Bohemian Club building. The lot fronts 99 feet on Post street, with a depth of 137 feet 6 inches. It is intended to make the building an ornament to the city. The plans have not yet been formulated, pending the decision as to who will occupy the building when it is erected. When it was given out that a building would be erected there the estate received some twenty bids for the lease of it. After a time negotiations narrowed down to four firms, chief among them being, it is af- firmed, W. J. Sloane & Co. and the Cali- fornia Furniture Company. When it is determined who the tenants will be the size of the bullding and other details will be_considered. The intention is to lease it in its en- tirety to one firm, making no provision for office rooms. The representatives of the Crocker estate are said to hold the opin- ion that the city is sufficlently supplied with that class of buildings to meet the demands to be made upon it for the next ten years. —_——— Bendix Recital. Otto Bendix will give a plano recital in the Sherman-Clay Hall this evening. The programme includes selections from the best classical composers. DEATH CLAIMS JOHN F. MILLAR OF THIS CITY He Passes Away at Pheenix, Ariz. A VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA WELL ENOWN AND POPULAR ON THIS COAST. Was the General Agent of Leonard & Ellis of San Francisco—The Remains Will Be Sent to Canada. John F. Millar, general Paclfic Coast agent for Leonard & Ellis, manufacturers T ployers with his ability that it was de-| clded to_ transfer him to the coast, where ) he could have a larger fleld in which to exercise his talents and with increased responsibilities. The wisdom of the move was quickly proved in the almost immedi- ate increase in the firm’s business in this section of the country. Mr. Millar's ter- ritory extended from Victoria, B. C., to the Mexican border, and he made frequent trips up and down the coast, establishing new agencies, securing new customers and hofdlng the old ones in line. It was while on a trip of this character that he succumbed to the dread destroyer. Mr. Millar was taken ill with pneumonia in this city two months ago, and was con- fined to his bed for several weeks. He was naturally robust, and of an active temperament, and the confinement was | extremely irksome. As soon as he was able to move about he insisted on getting out of doors, and otherwise neglected to give himself the care that his condition required. He had been making prepara- tions for one of his regular business trips south when taken ill, and thinking that the mild climate of the south might hasten his recovery he decided to start at once. He left San Francisco on November 15, but upon reaching Los Angeles suf- fered a relap;e and was confined to his room for ten days. He recovered sufficiently to resume his journey to Phoenix. Mr. Barrett accom- panied him on the trip and did every- thing possible for his comfort. But against his advice Mr. Millar insisted on taking the northern route, and when the high altitudes were reached he collapsed completely. At Jerome it was found ne- cessary to take him from the train. He was given every possible care and at the end of three days it was deemed safe for him to resume his journey and he was put aboard the train for Phoenix, where, with additional facilities to be had, it was be- lieved/he would soon be on his feet again. He arrived in Phoenix early in the pres- ent month, but the disease had obtained too firm a hold and the best efforts of JOHN F. MILLAR, WHO DIED YESTERDAY AT PHOENIX, ARIZ.

A telegram announcing his aeath was received during the day by Manager T. J. Finch of the firm from William Barrett, traveling maa for J. A. Roebling & Co., who was with Mr. Millar when the end came, “Jack” Millar, as he was familiarly called by his friends, was one of the best- known and most popular men in San Francisco as well as on the Pacific Coast. He came to this city about six years ago, being transferred from St. Paul, where he had entered the employ of the firm a year previously. He had in that brief the ghyslclans failed to restore his shat- tered health. Mr. Millar's only relative on the coast is a brother, George E. Millar, traveling man for the Anglo-American Crockery Company. The latter was within a short distance of Phoenix, where his brother lay dying, but without knowing of his presence or illness.
