While we were conversing I no- ticed that he was without rubbers, and advised him to get a pair. He replied that rubbers made his feet sore. I said, “All right, Chris, be a — fool.

Reis returned to the office of Dr. Pardy shortly after lunch. 1 saw him enter, and, walking over to him, said, ‘Hello, Chris.” He said, ‘Will, I have a favor to ask of you.' I sald, ‘What is it, Chris?" “ “This morning,’ he replied, ‘when we walked down together, you said some. thing to me that I don’t think you should have said.’ I replled that I would not hurt his feelings and did not intend to make the remark. He sald: ** ‘It don't look right, because there were other people who heard it.’ I answered that if he objected to being called a — fool I would not apply It to him again. He then left me. “This (Friday) morning he again re- turned and I saluted him. He seemed to be in good spirits, and I asked him why he did not sell his diamond ring to some sport. He replied that he would like to s 1 it. T asked him what he would take for it, and he replied that he would sell the ring for the amount he paid for it, 1 said, “Well, Chris, if you let me take it I will try to sell it for you.' He replied that he would pay me a small commission if I found a buyer for the ring.

SUSTAINED BY THE COURT WILL NOT GET NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER SALARIES. Moneys Paid in the Last Fiscal Year ‘Will Be Deducted, Which Makes Them Both Winner and Loser. San Francisco's army of teachers has won its first point in the battle against the merchants; likewise the army of merchants has lost a point it fought so hard to win and will have to amend its complaint before its petition for an injunction can be finally adjudicated. Yesterday morning Superior Judge side, between the heart and the lungs, was deflected by a rib and settled in the right side of-the back. After the ting Pardy conversed with his silant, saying, “Well, that was a nice thing for u to do,” but as he became nt from loss of blood he sat down in a chair and was carried into the board of directors’ room, in the rear of the office, and placed on a table. He ex- pressed a desire to see Dr. Stinson, who immediately sent for. time Drs. Gross and Grossman appeared upon the ne and proceeded to make the young man easy. It was difficult to get any particulars in regard to the matter, the attaches of the company, either from excitement or other causes, belng extremely reticent. From J. A. Remmel, who was a witness to the shooting, it was learned that Pardy and Reis were quietly conversing, the former being inside of the partition at an open window near the front door and the lat- ter standing just outside of the window. “I was talking to young Pardy’s father about some land valuations,” said Rem- mel, * when suddnely I heard a report, which did not seem to me any louder than & toy torpedo. Iturned and heard young Pardy say, ‘That's a great thing for you tels then came over toward me smoking pistol in his hand and slapped me in the mouth and I In the mean- 8 corroborated by both Reis and whose stories about the ocecur- in the main. The shooting ve been the act of a super- who had taken exceptions to some flippant remarks of his friend, who meant no particular harm by them. Immediately ter the shooting Pardy made a sta t, in which he said: *I met Ch rny street, in front of the San Francisco Jewelry Company, a couple of days ago, and we both admired a diamond ring in'the window. Coming down the street toward the office, Chris said he had just bought a new mackin- tosh, and he thought it was too large. I said: Wt what's the matter with you? That Style is all right. You ought 1o be wearing thicker soled shoes than you ?n llnf‘h, in this kind of weather, you ‘“We parted seemingly good friends, and this afternoon he came in the office and said: ‘Pardy, I don’t like the remarks you have been making about me. You want to stop calling me a — fool." I replied, ‘I never made that statement to anybody,’ and then Reis said, ‘Well, I came down to fix you, you — —. At that re- mark I slapped him in the face, and he shot me.” ter the shooting was taken into y Lieutenant Esola and brought alifornia tation. No charge reet was | of the wounds can be ascertained. When seen he repeated the story which Pardy had told “‘I shot him because he struck me,” Reis fald. “He had been joshing me about my mackintosh and shoes and called me a — fool. Some of my friends heard the re- marks, and it humiliated me greatly. I didn’t like it, and I went down to Pardy’s office to remonstrate with him. I felt in- sulted, and told him so. He told me if 1 didn’t like it to go and do the other thing. I told him that maybe I would, and then he slapped me_in the face. Smarting with the blow, I shot him.” ‘When asked what kind of a pistol he had used, Reis replied, “A Smith & Wes- son 32-caliber, which T bought this morn- ing at Price’s.”” When asked for what purpose he had purchased the pistol, he gaid that he goes over to Berkeley once in a while, and he thought he would like to do some shooting at squirrels. He evidently told a_different story to a friend, who afterward said that Reis was going up to some mines in Trinity County and bought the weapon for protection. Reis is 33 years old, and had known Pardy for five years. ' They were appar- ently always on the best of terms. ‘When Pardy was made comfortable on the table in the back office he sent for his wife and child. It was decided by the at- tending physicians that it was inadvisable to move him to his residence, and prepa- rations were made to keep him at the office. The doctors express hopes for his recovery, since no vital parts were touched. He is about 26 years of age, and his intimate friends say he was an ex- emplary young man. His father, William Pardy, is secretary of the Savings Com- pany and highly thought of in the busi- ness community. Reis’ father has been treasurer of this city and county for several terms, and the sad part of it all is that the two gray- haired parents are warm personal friends and feel keenly the position in which the act of young Reis has placed them. From all accounts, it was a cold-blooded affair, and from the admission made by Rels in regard to the pistol, premeditated. Later in the evening Pardy called his father to his side and sald: “Father, Chris’ father and you are the best of friends, and I want you to do one thing for me if I should die. Don’t prosecute Chris for his deed, as I am sure he did not know what he was doing.” The father replied that he could not promise to do that, and his son replied, “Well, I sup- pose you know best” The wounded man appeared to be glad that he had left his wife and child provided for by a life Insurance policy of $2000. Dr. Stinson said that his patient was resting easily and unless something un- loreseen _occurs he will recover. He ascribes his favorable opinion to the fact that Pardy has. not expectorated any blood, has been conscious all along. and suffers very little pain. The extravasa- ‘fon of blood has displaced the heart a ttle. He considers it a miracle that the shot inflicted by Rels did not have a fatal result, for the bullet passed within the imallest fraction of an inch from the | with ced against him until the resuit | e i L\ him a — fool. I said: ‘Well, now let that drop; there .s no harm in it, Chri You called me a — fool many tim when you worked in the office.’ “Well, he said, ‘I heard about it.’ I said, ‘Has anybody been throwing it up to you?’ and he said ‘No.” *Well,’ T said, ‘if they have you bring them in here and T will fix it all right, and I will tell them that I did not mean anything by it.’ ‘“‘ ‘Well” he says, ‘vou're a — — —' I said, ‘What's that, Chris? Don’t call me that, because I am liable to smash you in the face.’ “ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘You — — —, I will fix you.’ With that I hauled off and slapped his face and knocked his specs off. He took both hands and put them down to his side pocket and kind of held his coat and put his hand in. my hand and said, ‘Chris, you shoot me.’” He then ‘weapon at me and fired.” After making the statement Pardy re- fysed to sign it, as he did not want Reis prosecuted.

Charles Lundquist, a Schoolboy, Run Over by a Sutter Street Cable Car. Charles Lundquist, a bright little boy between 7 and 8 years of age, had his right leg_so _terribly crushed by the wi«t-ls of a Sutter-street cable-car yes- terday afternoon that it had to be am- utated at the thigh at_ the Receiving Hospital by Drs. weil and Hartley: The boy's parents live at 1416 Lyon street, his father being a tailor. He at- tended the Emerson Primary School, on Pine street, near Devisadero, and was on his way home from school yesterda afternoon when the accident He was running' across Sutter street at visadero, thinking he could cross the before a car could reach him but he was not quick enough and the car struck him. He fell and his right leg was -thrown across the rail. Before the gripman could stop the car the wheels passed over the hoy’s leg. The patrol wagon was summoned from the O'Far- rell street =¢ntion and the boy was taken to_the Receiv Hospital. The boy’s mother was notified, and she hurried to the hospital. The doctors told her there was no chance of saving the leg and it was with her consent that it was amputated. She was almost frantic 1 did not think e | | had a gun, and when I saw it I put up | occurred., | Seawell overruled the demurrer inter- | posed on behalf of the merchants in the | suit instituted by Elisha Brooks to pre- 1vent the payment of demands other than those of the teachers. Although this is a victory for the teachers, the peculiar law governing the case at bar will result in a loss to them, as sala- ries amounting to $123,500, owing for the fiscal year 1897-98, which were paid out of the revenue of 1898-99, must be de- ducted from the moneys on hand before | the teachers can receive their salaries | for the months of November and De- cember. The payment of salaries due for one year from the revenues of the next is, in Judge Seawell’s opinion, iI- legal, and the teachers are thereby losers to that extent. - Judge Seawell has made plain in his_ opinion three points, heretofore unde- cided, which will in future govern sim- ilar conditions that may arise. First, the court holds that so far as the bills of creditors of the board, other than the teachers, are concerned, the one- twelfth act applies and governs the Board of Education. Second, that the salaries of teachers are yearly salaries, fixed by the Board of Education, and they are therefore entitled to receive such salaries during periods when the schools are closed. ird, that the sal- aries of teachers acfruing during one fiscal year may not be paid out of the revenues of the next. The conditions from which the suit emanated are fully set forth in the opinion handed down with the order overruling the merchants’ demurrer to the teachers’ action. The opinion in full is as follows: This action is brought to restrain the Superintendent of Schools of this city and county from approving, the Auditor from auditing and the Treasurer from paying the demands of certain of the d‘efendanu against the Board of Educa- tion, I do not deem it necessary to rehearse in detail all the allegations of the com- plaint. It appears that the plaintiff is a taxpayer in said city and county and is also a teacher in the Girls’ High School; that the defendants other than Wells, Webster and Truman have presented to the Auditor for approval and audit de- mands against the school fund of said city and county of San Francisco amount- ing in the aggregate to $80,000, which have been finally approved by the Board of Education; and that’all said demands were contracted for and incurred subse- quently to'the 31st day of August, 1898, and at times when the Board of Educa- tion had already contracted for and in- curred demands payable out of the school fund, during the months in" which they accrued, aggregating more than $102,670 for each of sald months. It is further alleged that the sum of $1,232,040 is the entire amount of the income and revenus provided for said Board of Education for the fiscal year 1898-99. The question presented by the demurrer is whether the act of February 25, 1878 (Statutes 1877-1878, p. 111) applies to the Board of Education for the city and coun- ty of San Francisco. Sections one and two of sald act are as follows: . ‘‘Section 1. It shall not be lawful here- after for the Board of E%P‘r“”" of ‘the City and County of San Francisco or any committee, officer or board having power to authorize or contract liabilities against the Treasury of sald city and county to authorize, allow, contract for, pay or ren- der payable in the present or future, in any one month, any demand or demands against sald Treasury, or any of the funds thereof, which shall, in the aggregate, ex- ceed one-twelfth part of the ashount al- lowed by laws existing at the time of such contract, authorization, n.llownnm,'{;fi_ ment -or liability, to be expended n the fiscal year of which sald month is a part. 1f, at the beginning of any month any money remains unexpended in any of the funds set apart for maintaining the municipal government of the city and county of San_ Francisco, and which might lawfully have been expended the preceding month, such’unexpended sum or'sums may be carried forward and ex- pended by order of the Board of Super- Vigors, in’any succeeding month. “‘Sec. 2. All contracts, -authorizations, allowances, payments and liabilities to pay, made or attempted to be made in Violation of section one of this act shall be absolutely void, and shall never be the foundation or basis of a claim against the Treasury of said city and county. And all officers “of said city and county are charged with notice of the condition of the asury of said city and county and th:n extent” of the clalms agalnst the same.’’ TOn March 18, 1878, the Legislature pass- ed an act supplementary to and amenda- tory of the ngove-mentloned act, section 2 of which provides as follows: e provisions of said act” (i e., the one-twelfth act) “from and after the first day of June, 1878, shall extend to and in- clude all departments of the municipal government of said city and county, ex- cept the new City Hall and Galden_Gne Park Commissioners, as to all moneyg ex- pended or obligations created or con- tracted for purposes, or against funds that by law are authorized to carry on such departments as running ®nnual ex- penditures, and the officers, directors, commissioners or others having the power to make such contracts or disbursements shall be liable to all the duties, obliga- tions and penalties as to all such funds and contracts and disbursements restini upon the Supervisors and others name tn said act, to which this is supplemen- ary.” (Statutes 1877-1%78, p. 333.) That by the latter act the provisions of the one-twelfth act were made applicable to the Board of Eduction seems to be too clear. to require discussion. The Board of Education - is certainly a department of the municipal government, and the school fund one of the funds of its treasury. Consolidation act, sections 71, 76 and 9. ‘Worley’s consolidation act, pp. 17, 18, 21, 28 and 175, G The express exception of the new Cit; Hall Commissioners and Golden Gate Par Commissioners alone from the operation of the act emphasizes the proposition that all other lepartments, Includm{ the Board of Education, are subject to its operation; and as-School Directors are the only. officers to whom the term ‘Di- rectors” is applicable, they should be con- sidered as having been expressly declared to be liable to all the duties, obligations and penalties prescribed. by. the act. It Is contended 6n the part of defend- ants that even if nrlfinal applicable to the Board of Education, tfvle act in ques- tion has been repedled. It is conceded that there has been no repeal in express terms, but it is claimed that the act has been repealed ‘by- implication, bdy certain provisions of the Political Code, which are said to" be inconsistent therewith. Such a repeal could be accomplished only by sections of the Political Code or amendments thereto which are enacted, after March 18, 878, took effect on January 1, The sup- plement to the one-twelfth act was pass- ed March 18, 1878. At that time the Ll;gia- lature had power to pass speclal laws in reference to the munlclgal corporations, and such.laws remained in force after the adoption of the new constitution, un- less inconsistent therewith or specially abrogated. No provision of that instru- ment inconsistent with or. repugnant to the one-twelfth act has been called to my attention. Repeals by implication are not favored. The rule in such cases is that the earlier statute remains in force, unless the two are manifestly inconsistent with and re- qunam to each other. The reason of the Tule is that the Legislature, if it had in- tended, by the later statute to repeal the earlier, would have expressly so Crosby vs. Patch, 18.Cal. 441, et seq. . Section 19 of the Political ' Code pro- “Nothing in the four codes affects any of the provisions of the followin, statutes, but such statutes are recognizes as continuing in force, notwithstanding the grovlslona of the codes, except so far as they have been repealed or al}’ected by subsequent laws: * * * “2. All acts consolidating cities and counties and acts amending or supple- menting such acts.” Section 1616 ok the same code reads: “‘Boards of Education are elected in cities under_ the provisions of sl)eclal statutes, and their powers and dutles are as pre- scribed in such statutes, except as other- wise in this chapter provided.” It 18 objected that because the rate of taxation is not fixed by the Board of Su- pervisors until the third Monday in Sep- tember it is impossible for the Board of Education, before that tinge, to determine ‘what the amount of the school fund for the year will be, and it is therefore un- reasonable to aggly the one-twelfth act to that board. e same objection could be made to applying the act to the Board of Supervisors, or to any other depart- ment of the municipality. At the time ‘when that act was passed the rate of tax- ation was not fixed until the first Monday in_October. Political Code, original section 3714. The requirement of Political Code, sec- tion 1621, that schools must be maintained at least eight months in the year is not in conflict with a statute limiting the monthly expenditures to one-twelfth of the entlre school fund for the year. The one-twelfth act was passed after the amendment of 1874 to section 1623 of the Political Code, and is, therefore, not controlled by any of its provisions, even if they should be considered inconsistent with that act. The continuance in force of the one- twelfth act in nowise interferes with the uniform ol;eratlon of all general laws in reference to the public schools. Tue proposition urged by defendants® counsel that upon e adoption of the present constitution the Board of Edu- cation ceased to be a department of the municipal government is, in my opinion, untenable. It is true that it is an in- strumentality or agency of the State, but such it has ever been since its creation. The municipal government of the city and county of San Francisco and all de- partments thereof are instrumentalities of the State for conducting the affairs of ‘government within_a particular dis- trict. -1 Dillon Mun.

In the action instituted by the mer- chants, that of Oscar Moses against the Board of Education et al, Judge Sea- well handed down no apinion, simply sustaining the demurrer of the defend- ants on the ground that the Board of Education was an improper’ defendant. “The action should have been brought against the Auditor to prevent the auditing of the demands of the teach- ers,” said Judge Seawell. “In this ac- payment of teachers’ claims before their own are paid. The Board of Education under such circumstances is tion the merchants seek to restrain the l The Political Code | 1873, not a proper party defendant and there- fore the demurrer is sustained, with ten days in which to amend the complaint.” The court then ruled upon two points of great importance in the various suits now before the court. ‘“Regarding the allegation in the complaint,” he said, “that the teachers were paid $123,500 in salaries, owing for the fiscal year 1897- 98, from the revenue of the fiscal year 1898-99, I am of opinion that this pay- ment was illegally made. - The law directing that the demands of one year shall not be paid from the revenue of the next, in my opinion, applies to the demands of teachers, as well as the de- mands of other creditors. I will, un- der these circumstances, make an or- der that before the salaries for the months of November and December, 1898, are -paid that there shall be de- ducted the sum before mentioned that was illegally paid them. As this order does not apply equally to every teacher in the department I shall require coun- sel for the plaintiffs to so amend their complaint that it will contain each teacher’'s name with the amount set forth that he or she will be affected by the holding of the court.” On the point raised that teachers are only entitied to payment for the months which they were actually employed in teaching, the court held that such con- tention was erroneous. ~“The teachers’ salaries are not fixed by law, but by the Board of Education,” said Judge Seawell. “Teachers are appointed to hold office during good behavior and competency; their salaries are yearly salaries, payable monthly, therefore they are entitled to salary each month of the year.” For the instruction of counsel repre- senting the merchants during their la- bors of amending the complaint the court caused to be written the following three rules, which the court will adhere to during the hearing of the case in the future. 1. Teachers in the public schools of San Francisco are entitled to receive their m%n!!;ly salaries during vacations in the schools. 2. The salaries of said teachers can be gsld only out of the school fund for the scal year in which they were earned. The doctrine of Lewis vs. {Vldber, 99 Cal., 413, does mnot npgl{ to such salaries, as they are not fixed by statute. 3. If, as alleged in the complaint, some of said teachers have received, out of the school fund for the fiscal year 1898-99, pay- ment for salaries earned in the fiscal year 1897-98, it is the duty of the Auditor, under section 62 of the consolidation act, not to allow a subsequent demand of such teachers. for salaries without first de- ducting the amounts so illegally paid. Such is the legal status of the case. The teachers have won a point, so have they lost a point. They have beaten the merchants on demurrer, but the facts set forth in opposition to their various contentions have apprised the court that they have illegally drawn a small fortune from the treasury. This will be repaid the city from the moneys now due them. The famous old JESSE MOORE WHISKY s recommendc . by physicians for family and medicinal use because it is pure. The Moore Investigation.
