There are also some minor issues, which will develop later in the narration. It all came about in this way: Mr. Stet- son is a stately gentleman of dignified carriage, as becomes one of the solid citi- zens of this great metropolis. Therefore | it is only meet that his broadcloth and | | | immaculate linen should be topped with a glistening silk tile. A most imposing figure was that of Mr. Stetson as long as he kept within his own bailiwick—that s, in the wholesale district—but when he invaded the retail precincts uptown it was different, and all because of those awnings that project over the sidewalks, | Now, awnings, properly adjusted, are of | vast benefit to pedestrians as well as a | means of protection to goods displayed in store window: But when they are permitted to drop down over the sidewalk like a nightshirt on a slack clothesline | they are neither useful nor ornamental. Mr, Stetson has met these awnings be- | | fore, to his discomfiture and the mussing | of his hat, and there are several VOws re- | opposite his name | that when he went uptown again he was | going to take to the roadway. The vows might have held good had it not happened that the gentleman had no occasion to take to the bad lands again until last Monday, which was somewhat juicy. The awnings were temptingly set, inviting him under their sheltering folds, and in a moment of weakness the vows were re- considered and Mr. Stetson got out of the wet. Sefore he had gone a block his hat had | been brushed from his head by the awn- |ings and was a sight. Mr. Stetson was in a rage, and boarding a streetcar he went out and told his troubles to the Grand Jury. Those inquisitors discovered that there | is an ordinance—long since forgotten—re- quiring awnings, signs and similar ob- | structions to be at least nine feet from | | the sidewalks. Street Superintendent Ambrose was sent for and notified to tear down every awning at once that was be- low the regulation height. Mr. Ambrose | instructed Deputies Alman, Maxwell and | Bowen to carry out the mandates of the Grand Jury, and at 8 o'clock yesterday morning they began work. They did not tear down any offending canvases, but notified = the tradespeople along corded to the effect once or they would be removed. Almost every storekeeper on those streets was found to be an offender, and they received the ultimatum with various degrees of Some promised to remedy the evil at once and proceeded to do so; others declared their intention of taking their time about it, while a few made The deputies experienced the greatest dlfflc\xllypumong the milliners and hair dressers, Bowen was the first to deal with the ladies. He tackled a Kearny gtreet milliner, but did not remain inside long. He came out looking red in the face and appeared to be apologizing to a determin looking female. e awn- ing was not disturbed. After that he shied whenever he saw a woman in a store. Maxwell, too, seemed to pass the ladies by after a bout with a pair of candy girls, so that duty fell upon Al- man, He got along all right until he went against the proprietress of a hair dressing establishment on Market street. The lady was fixing up the show window when Al- man entered. He politely Informed her that the awning in front of her store would have to be raised to nine feet above the sidewalk, and instantly he was sorry that he spoke. “Oh, I know you,” satd the Jady scorn- fully.’ “You're Sam Rainey in disguise, but vou can't do any politics here. That awning is fifteen feet from the lldewa.lkx and I shan't touch it; neither shail you.” As the lady was not more than nine feet out of the way in her statement Al- man sald he was sorry for his mistake and escaped. One merchant on Geary street said San Francisco was too “jay’”” a town for him and declared his intention of mnvlng; a Market street bookseller threatened to report the Grand Jury to Chief Lees if any harm befell his awning, and a ladies’ furnishing goods dealer in the next block openly defied the deputies. Alman opened h?s pocket knife and was about to cut the awning down when the merchant weak- ened and promised to have It raised at nce. osu erintendent Ambrose is determined to abate these nulsances, and in a day or two he will send the deputies out again with positive instructions to tear down any awning that may be found below the regulation distance from the sidewalk. No tfinher notice will be served on the storekeepers. And t}?ul is J. B. Stetson’s ruined me} av ~! POLITICIANS PONDER OVER LEGAL PUZILE Fine Point Raised Over Edwards’ Death. WILL IT CREATE A VACANCY? CHESEBROUGH'S FRIENDS SAY IT WILL NOT. On the Other Hand, Laws and a Supreme Court Decision Are Quoted to Show the Contrary. Out of the. death of John G. Edwards, who was elected a member of the State Board of Equalization, has grown a legal problem that is puzzling and worrying Governor Budd, Governor-elect Gage and WITH THE AID OF A STEEL SLAB INFORMED THE LADY MERCHANTS OF [ THE PROPOSED & ACTION a host of politicians. The vital issue is: Has the death of Edwards created such | a vacancy as the law contemplates shall be filled by appointment by the Governor? The friends of A. Chesebrough, whom Edwards was elected to succeed, are strenuous in the contention that no va- cancy will exist after the term for which Chesebrough was originaily elected. They claim that the death of Edwards, occurring before he had entered upon his term of office, did not create a vacancy; that, therefore, the Governor has no power to appoint any one to succeed Chresebrough, and that Chesebrough must hold over until “his successor is elected and qualified.” This would mean until after the next general election, four years hence, or until after a special elec- tion called by the Governor. These contentlons are based largely on the decision in the case of Melony vs. ‘Whitman, 10 Cal., 38, wherein it was held, among other points, that “The failure on the part of the Controller-elect to qualify creates no vacancy in the office.” On the other hand, those who are inter- ested in having a new man appointed to succeed Chesebrough quote from the game decision to show that Chesebrough cannot hold over, and that a vacancy has been created by the death of Kd- wards before the latter qualified. Section 9, article XIII, of the constitu- tion provides for the creation of the State oard of Equalization and says their erm of office shall be for four years.” It further provides that the Legislature shall have power to provide for the elec- ton of sald Board of Equalization. Acting under this authority, the Legis- lature enacted section 352 of the Political Code, which provides for such election and reads in part as follows: Their term’ of office shall be four years, commencing from the first Monday after the first day of January following their electlon. Section 996, subdivision 9, declares that an office becomes. vacant on a person’s refusal or neglect to file his official oath or bond within the time prescribed.” Section 999 declares that the Governor must fill any office that becomes vacant, and no mode is provided by law for fill- ing such vacancy. (hese are the provisions of the consti- tution and the sta.ute laws bearin the matter. And it is on the strength of these that the opponents of Chesebrough claim there can be no extension of his term. They point out a vital flaw in ms claim. It lles in the words prescribing the term of office for members of the Board of Equallzation. This prescription they say differs materially from that de- fining the term of office og the Controller, In the case of members of the Board of Equalization the term is for a fixed period, without any qualifications. In the case of the Controller it iS proivided by seetion 17, article V, of the constitution that his term of office shall be the same as that of the Governor. !fecuon 2 of the same article of the constitution pro- vides that the Governor shall hold = nis office for four years, “and until his suc- cessor is elected and qualified.” The distinction between a fixed term and a qualified term was clearly brought out in the Supreme Court decision al- ready referred to. After deciding that the incumbent Controller held from the time of his installation in office, and until his succesor had qualified, It went on and made this important and significant dic- tum: “The case is different with respect to ‘District and Supreme Judges. They hold their offices from a day certain, and for a fixed period, and not until their success- ors are qualified.” Those who are opposed brough's continued incumbenc; this dictum applies most directly and clearly to the present conditions sur- rounding the office which Edwards was elected to fill, and that a vacancy will exist on January 2. In justice to Chesebrough it can be stated that he does not want the office, and even if he could hold it under tne law would, so his friends say, resign. Un- der no circumstances would he continue to serve. to Chese- hold that ‘We keep a man in our store' to stamp your name in gold letters, free of charge, on Vail & Co., 74l ) | | FIRST TENOR CAPTURED THE CROCKER STAKE The Favorite,Sam Mc- Keever, Unplaced. LOS MEDANOS RAN SECOND THE HURDLE EVENT A FARCI- CAL AFFAIR. Jingle Jingle First at 0dds of 10 to 1. Lady Britannic at Home in the Mud—Three Favor- ites in Front. It is now the season when two-year- olds are asked to stretch it out and eight youngsters with the silk up answere the bugle call when the Crocker stakg was called at Ingleside yesterday. The dis- tance was one mile and Garnet Fergu- son’s colt, Sam McKeever, closed post favorite in the betting, backed down to 13 to & Tenor enjoyed the call, but it was cur- rently reported that the muddy going was not to his fancy and 4 to 1 in pro-| fusion was obtainable about him. The big Falsetto colt disapproved of this theory. Slow to begin work, when the field was dispatched to a beautiful start Thorpe took him on the outside, where there was firm footing, and gradually passing one after another of the starters, at the wire beat Los Medanos three lengths. The lat- ter colt made all the running, taking the place from Survivor by a couple of lengths. The stake was worth §900 to the winner. The other events were very common- place, scarcely worthy of more than pass- ing comment. On three occasions. favor- ites were seen in front at the wire. The mile hurdle probably furnished more real amusement than anything else. It Wwas so amusing as to be really funny, If the riders had been colored instead of white it would have been ridiculous. As it was it was rea.y interesting. When a good-natured, sport-loving public would stand for the Sharkey-Fitzsimmons rob- bery without resorting to any riotous demonstration it is only to be expected that it will witness these hurdle race fias- cos without making any unnecessary noise. On almost any other course in the country bets would have been declared off on such an extravaganza as that of yes- terday. Reddington, the Corrigan entry, ridden b: Murphy, the stable jockey for Andy Blakeley, the grand Pooh Bah of hurdleism at the Corrigan track, was the real live one. The other starters were all dancing attendance on him and Redding- ton, almost left at the post, won by him- self at the end. Durward, a horse that could not jump a straw bond, and 50 to 1 in the befting, beat the other heavily layed ones for the place. Can it be possi- gle that the spirit of Little Pete, the yel- low Napoleon of the turf, still hovers around our tracks? Jingle Jingle, a 10 to 1 shot, surprised the crowd by taking the opening event at five furlongs from a fair field. Silver Beau, the favorite, was beaten a head at the wire by the outsider. The black mare Lady Britannic, right at home in the muddy footing, led from the start_in the six furlong sprint next decided. Hard ridden at the end, she led Prince Tyrant out a head. Robert Bon- ner, a 100 to 1 shot, was third. Sokombeo was made favorite for the maiden event at six furlongs, and ran as if the lobster salad partaken of the night before had given him indigestion. He was unplaced. Credo, the Corrigan entry, sec- ond choice in the betting, won easily from Henry C, 2 15 to 1 shot, ridden by Spen- cer. Plunger McManus’ fast horse, Lord Mar- mion, opened favorite for the final six furlong spin, but went back in the bet- ting. The smart coin went in on Mid- light, and the brown mare turned the trick, winning, ridden out by a length. Cyril was given the place over Ricardo. Ll Track Notes. Eddie Jones, who rode Highland Ball, was suspended for thirty days for not persevering more with his mount at the finish. The chestnut horse was bumped and badly jostled at the start, and at the wire was nipped out a head for the show by Robert Bonner. Jones has been doing good work in the saddle and the ruling seems to be a very severe one. Jack Thornton, a well known turfman of Butte, Mont., was a spectator at the races. Some years ago Mr. Thornton raced a formidable string of horses over the Eastern tracks. In the opening race every jockey with a mount was fined $25 by Starter Caldwell, with the exceptions of Martin, Woods and Jone: Merry Heart, second choice in the open- ing event, was jumped on by Earl Isling- ton, nearly losing a portion of her off hind foot.

Dora Fuhrig Causes the Death of Anna W. Walmsly. Anna W. Walmsley, a married woman residing at 418 Laguna street, died at half-past 7 o'clock last Tuesday evening from the effects of a criminal operation performed by Mrs. Dora Fuhrig, who is under arrest on three similar cases. The dying woman made a statement before she died to Drs. Cachot and Perry, in which she accused the Fuhrig woman. The dead woman was only 25 years old. The body was taken to the Morgue and an inquest will be held. A Decided Novelty. The Christmas Wasp is out and pre- sents to the public one of the most ar- tistic as well as novel publications ever issued by any journal in the world. There are sixty-four pages of pictures of San Francisco, the like of which have never before been seen, inasmuch as all hither- to accepted laws of photography are de- fled and views given of several streets at once In a single photograph, showing both sides of the streets in detail. The principal thoroughfares of this city are depicted in a peculiarly life-like manner. The covers are in four colors and gold and are extremely artistic. There is plenty of interesting reading besides the illustrated features, and the center illus- tration, gh'ing a 24-inch_photograve of Golden Gate Park from Strawberry Hill to the Panhandle, all in all, go to make the Christmas Wasp the handsomest and most interesting souvenir of the season.
