From the ad grafter's standpoint that Valencia: street fence, which Crusoe Phelan has forbidden every- body to build, is worth a thousand a year of any man's money, and with the concession granted, no mat- ter what the heartbreaks that at- tend the operation, they would con- sider themselves well repaid for any little favors in the caricature line done in the unthinking heat of a hot campaign. But only the life of that veto will receipt the debt. and that's why Fri- day has given Crusie the shake to go on a spectacular crusade of friend- ship into the (‘amr of the enemy. To-day will tell if he has chosen wisely, also if the push has really been taken in by the versatile Asses- sor-elect. As it stands he has five votes to help him in his financial straits, but it takes nine to do the business, and as a prominent mem- ber of the board, whose name is withheld for obvious reasons, said vesterday: ‘“Chure, we've ahl had a fince or two oursilves in times past, and whin we wint to him for bread he gave us a sthone.

In order to effect this saving Mr. Baldwin is prepared to go to almost any length, regardless of the danger to those employed in the work and to the hun- dreds "of passers-by, whose lives will be in imminent and constant danger from ing debris in case he is allowed to 'ty out his plans. The idea came to Mr. Baldwin like an inspiration, and he now talks of the use | of dynamite as though it were no more dangerous than so much sawdust. The use of a high explosive first suggested it- self to his mind when his efforts to reduce the miserable pittance he had been pay- ing the laborers in clearing away the ruins first became’the subject of adverse | comment. He at once decided it would | be Cheaper to blow the walls down than (p%steedar‘ hemfdo]wm ?peam&:g of the pro- 1se_of dynamite yesterd - noon Mr. i}aldwh}‘ said: oh i “I can bring those walls down v quickly with dynamite, and while I have not made up my mind fully to use it I am considering the subject. If the explo- sive is carefully placed and properly :J:n‘l:dutsherts is not the slightest danger n e to any one. The advantage would be that the debris could all be cleared away in less than balf the time it will také under the present slow process.

There has been no strike and will be no strike.” The fact that the gang of men empioyed by Groom and Edlin to save some of their effects from the ruins Is receiving $2 a day did not appear to strike Mr. Baldwin as being any argument in favor of his paying the same wages. He indulged in a few choice remarks about the meddle- some talk of Some people and the news- papers, and abruptly changed the subject, Edlin's safe was removed from the base. ment of the building yesterday afternoon and also a large amount of smoke be-~ grimed and water-soaked bolts of oloth, The workmen have as yet made no at- tempt to rescue any of Groom'’s property and cannot do so until Baldwin’s wreckers remove some of the heavier timbers and iron beams that block their way., The force of police detailed to keep ven- turesome feople away from _the Fanger line had thelr hands full yesterday.

If Bald- win puts in a few charges of Jynnmite to tumble the already shattered walls to the Eroqnd as he threatens, something will appen, and that something is likely to prove disastrous to any crowd such as the one referred to. Experts declare that tne use of dynamite is always dangerous where_there is such a great amount of loose debris lying about and that no mat- ter how great the precautions, flying splinters are always to be feared. The chloride of lime strewn 6ver the de- bris by the Health Officers has not done away with the stench, and although Bald- win ‘still vehemently ' declares there are no more dead bodies in the ruins, his dec- laration Is not likely to convince any one, especially as he made the same assertion before the body of Judge Carter was tak- en out of the place a few days ago. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY. The Quarterly -Méetiri Shows Many Acts of Charity to the Poor. The quarterly meeting of the Soclety of St. Vincent de Paul .was held at St. Francis Church, on Vallejo street, ves- terday afternoon. Previous to the after- noon meeting about sixty members of the society attended the 8 o’clock mass and recelved holy communion. This act is in keeping with the fourth rule of the so- ciety, and guarantees to each participant a plenary indulgence. At the meeting in the afternoon John M. Burnett, president of the society, with P. J. Thomas, sec- retary, were in attendance, as was also Rev. J. J. Prendergast, with a full rep- resentation of the fourteen conferences of the society in the city. The secretary’s report showed that there are 500 mem- bers In good and active standing within the San Francisco jurisdiction. ’fhe good work done by the society during the past year included the relief of 1405 familles and 4352 individuals; and 3152 visits were made by members. The amount recelved was $7098 63; expended $5378 38. The distri- bution of this amount was for food, cloth- ing, fuel and other necessaries of life where, In the majority of cases, the most abject condition of poverty and suffering was presented to the visitors. There is a balance remaining on hand of $3008 20, The next quarterly meeting of the so- ciety will be held in St. Patrick’s Church. Communications were received from the parent headquarters in New York giving an account of the financial standi of the soclety, as algo of the good work done throughout the Eastern cities. —_—— The Old Lady Identified. The old lady who was knocked down by a wagon driven by Richard Ervin, a boy, at Golden Gate and Van Ness avenues Saturday night, - was identified at the Recelvin Hospital yesterday morning as Miss Mary Mahan, an inmate of the San Francisco Union Shelter, 225 Golden Gate avenue. She is still uncon- scious and the worst is feared. She is said to have a wealthy brother in this city. o orium was lined ——————— Have you seen the new collectlon of paint- ings at Wm.

Somehow the Tip Is Out That the Directors Will Audit November Olaims on Wednesday Afternoon. This morning Judge John Garber and Attorneys Olney and Olney will meet with the committee appointed by the as- soclated school teachers to arrange final plans for the legal campaign that is to begin against the Board of Education. The meeting will amount to not much more than a formality, as the plan by which the teachers will proceed in their attempt to force the payment of their November salaries is already practically settled. The first step was taken when nearly 800 of the pedagogues signed and swore to formal demands for their last month’s pay. These demands will be presented to the Directors at the regular meeting of the board on Wednesday afternoon, and the subsequent action of that body will indicate just how the prearranged plan will be put into play. The proceedings will be distinctly elvil, but of a double nature. As the plan is now arranged the Auditor will be first enjoined from auditing any and all claims against the School Board until such time as an adjudication is had of all of the questions that are at point. Following the injunction suit will be instituted against the Directors by all of the 800 teachers, and all jvho may yet decide to participate in the'action, as party plain- tiffs to the complaint. With the injunc- tion operating while the suit progresses there will be something tangible to levy upon in case of a favorable decision be- ing rendered. 3 Albert Lyser, principal of the John Swett Grammar School, is in the van of the movement and is confident that it is along the line that will bring quickest and | most satisfactory results. In an ]Juer-l view last evening he said: “I am more than gratified with the unanimity that the teachers have shown in entering into this fight. I have been active in it from the start, but solely for | the purpose of establishing a principle that will protect the teachers in the fu- ture from any such arbitrary action, not from personal motives nor for personal spite against the Directors. In fact, with regard to the Directors, I think that they are public servants and that the teachers | they have employed have not the right | to criticise their action in any matter concerning school administration. 1 do not think it politic to say at this time anything as to the legal course that we will pursue, though the committee has fully decided upon it. “It has been contended by some of those who have not entered into this movement that in bringing a suit against the Directors we will be tying up our No- vember money for siX or eight months, with no prospect of either immediate or remote benefit, but with the paraliel ac- tion we propose to bring we will not only get our pay but will fix the position of the teacher with regard to the financing of the schools upon a solid basis, so that in the future, if the time for retrenchment and economy comes, there will be mo question of whether or not it will be ad- visable to hold back the teachers’ pay. ‘““The resolution that was passed by the board depriving us of November pay was £0 constructed that had we rémained qui- escent, taken no legal action, we would have simply agreed to let that month's salary go, and we never would have had recourse for it. Our sworn demands will resented to the board on Wednesday, its action then will decide our imme- ‘”'jl‘;e cuurs}g."M omas H. McCarthy, vice principal of the Washington Evening School, is got S0 sanguine of the success of the plan of the allied teachers as is Professor Lyser. He has declined to swear to one of the formal demands and has withdrawn from active participation in the fight, but he is in sympathy with it and will put up his pro rata of the expense that will attend upon the proceedings in the courts. “I cannot see,” said Mr. McCarthy, ‘“‘what the teachers are going to gain by any other proceedings than mandamus, A ‘writ of mandate takes precedence in court over all other matters, but the civil suits that are proposed must wait their turn on the calendar, and even if they are | eventually decided in favor of the teach- | ers there will be nothing to levy upon. ! The money is gone. W e started in on this proposition with | the understanding that we would proceed | by writ of mandate, but some of the | young lawyers who hung around the meetings could not see enough in the way through their planning that the present scheme was fixed up. I and about 300 of the other teachers have withdrawn from the fight, though we are heartily in sympathy with those who have remained in it. We do not believe that the fee of $1500 promised the attorneys is a just one. It amounts to 2 per cent of the salaries, and when the other necessary costs of suit are added the percentage will run up to 6 or 8 per cent at the least calculation,” The School Directors have been anxious- ly waiting an announcement of the pro- ceedings to be taken, and the teachers have come in for a pretty general curs- ing. Bantell has started an attack upon Professor Lyser, and seeks to throw upon him some of the blame for the excess of unaccounted-for !ugpl(es that the racing Director has purchased. Somehow the tip has gone out that on Wednesday the board intends to audit the claims for No- vember salaries, and by friends of the Directors it is claimed that this has been the intention from the beginning of the trouble. The teachers, however, look upon éhle rumor as simply intended to gain a elay. BURGLARS ViSIT ; A SHOE FACTORY SIEBE & 00.S ESTABLISEMENT, JESSIE STREET, ENTERED. Three Notorious Thieves Arrested for the Offense and the Stolen Property Recovered by the Police. The factory of the Siebe Shoe Company, 21 to 33 Jessie street, was entered by burglars early yesterday morning and fifty pairs of ladies’ shoes were stolen. Entrance was effected by forcing open the side door. The police were notifled and Captain Spillane detailed Detective O'Dea and Po- licemen Moriarity and Koegel on the case. Richard Boles and John McCann, a crip- ple, were arrested a few hours later and were taken to the City Prison. They had gone to a saloon at 547 Mission street about 6 o’clock yesterday morning with forty pairs of shoes, which they offered to sell. They could not find a purchaser. Later Boles went to the second-hand store of J. Goldstein, 231 Third street, where he was trying to dispose of several pairs of R e T g 8 BO m his wife, and while walking with O'Dea to | beginning, make his statement g he broke from him and ran, but was quickly recaptured. McCann was found at the Mission street saloon and twenty-eight pairs of shoes were found in his pouen!on. John Me- rink, an ex-convict, was discovered on Miesion street with a palr of shoes in his hand and he was also placed under arrest and a charge of petty larceny was booked against him, as he was wanted for steal- ing jellies Getz Brothers, 561 Mis- sion street. Later it was ascertained that the shoes In the possession of the three men were those stolen from Siebe's factory, and a from gmr‘s of burglary was booked against em. They are notorious thieves. McCrink has served twelve years for burglary and three years for grand larceny. He told Captain Spillane that this would be the fifteenth Christmas he had spent in jail, and he is only 33 years of age. Boles has been tried for robbery and acquitted, but |15 he has served terms for petty offenses. During a family quarrel recently he was shot by his brother. McCann, the crip- })le, is a clever thief. He is what the po- lice designate a wagon thief; that is, he steals boxes of cigars and articles of that description from dellvery wagons, and has been very successful at it. —_———— THE WOMAN'S DICTIONARY.
