DAN BURNS RS BEEN SHUBB B THE GOVERNOR Humiliation From His Creature. el Local politiclans are all excitement over the latest development of affairs in the political famil of Governor Gage. The vernor has balked at the domina~ tion of Burns and has made an assertion of independence which is as unexpected as it is startling. His Excellency to the surprise and consternation of his friends has resisted a demand made by the Mexi- can, and everybody is wondering what is to happen next. The wise ones see in the action of the Governor the beginning of the words of Gage that, “Burns has re- ceived enough from me. thing for myself.” The humiliation of the Mexican was forced upon himself through his greed | for the few scraps of partonage that still remain on the gubernatorial table. There are two vacancles in the position of wharfinger on the water front. These places are among the best in the gift of the Harbor Commission, and Burns want- ed them for two of his retainers. ment, therefore, to Harbor Commissioner Paris g ear, but there was something manner that indicated that things were not as they used to be and that a request by the Mexican did not neces- sarily mean & command. Kilburn said he would see about it. One of the two positions to be filled is now oc- cupled by Mike Smith, he of the whiskers. Burns deman ik him in etained. The other vacancy n_commanded be filled by A nan Miller of railroad ass fame. Miller was not on the Burns Senatorial roll, but he was always In signing distance of it, and a wharfinger is not to be despised. There was not the slightest doubt in the | mind of Burns that his demand would be { honored. He had no reason to believe that his ring had slipped from the nose of the Governor or that his Excellency was faltering in his subservient obedience, Patronage had been awarded to the worst of heelers and it could not be anticipated that another dose would ‘sicken the Gov- ernor’s stomach. But times had changed. The ring had slipped from Gage's nose and the chain was dangling idly and un- profitably in the Mexican's hand. Parls Kilburn saw the Governor and told him that Burns had demanded the two remalning places of importance on the water front. It was then the Gov- ernor arose in his small dignity and swelled with the Assertion of himsalf. “I want those es for myself,” he said, “and 1 want you to hold them out for me. Burns has received enough from me, and will get no more."” And that Is why the rabble of the Mex- ican are disturbed and are wondering if their leader has received his political conge from his creature who had been so obedient that no command seemed humili- ating enough for him to rebel against. e e Judge Hanford to Preside. United States Circuit Judge Morrow has designated Cornelius H. Hanford, Judge of the United States District Court of the State of Washington, to preside in the Tnited States Circuit' Court in this city for the remainder of the July term while Judge Morrow is engaged on the bench in the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals. Judge Hanford will take his seat on October 10.

It may be that Brown didn’t, but, at any rate, he gave Mister Henderson a clgar loaded to the muzzle with red fire and explosives. The head porter's eyes fairly danced in his head as he patted the “smoke” and thought of the nice cream ple the chef would hand out when he recetved it. Within a few minutes Henderson was in the kitchen, the cigar was lighted and inserted between the chef’s teeth, and the head porter, on the opposite side of a table, wasn't doing a thing to a magnificent ple. All was smiles. Pouf! z-z-z-zip! The next Instant all was confusion. The cigar had exploded. The chef's head went back and his hands went up in horror. Mister Henderson diu a double somersault, and the precious pie flew in all directions. The ex- plosion attracted the attention of all the others In the kitchen, and they ran to the scene. The chef was the first . a a n SPLENDID e BUILDING FOR THE INSTITUTE Plans for Mechanics’ Library. CORBETT’S OFFER ACCEPTED Pl HE WILL MAKE THE DESIGNS FREE OF COST. e Given Data Out of Which to Evolve the Details of a Magnificent Fireproof Six-Story Structure. ZLSR In spite of the fact that seven oul of thirteen trustees of the Mechanics’ Insti- tute voted at the last meeting against in- structing a committee to submit a specific | plan for a new “downtown” building for the library, plans for that purpose will be drawn and submitted, and it is hoped that at some time in the near future the Mechanics’ Library will be housed In a | modern structure commensurate with its | importance. For a long time it has been conceded that the present library bullding was en- tirely inadequate and too antiquated for the purpose to which it was dedicated. In his annual reports, President E. A. Den- icke has called attention to the fact. Two years ago he sald: In spite of all that has been done in this and previous years the fact remains that the library bullding on Post street is fast becoming too limited in area for the various purposes for which it is used. The rapidly growing library, as well as the general in- crease of membership, Tequires more ex- tensive quarters. The shelves are over- crowded and frequently seats in the library room are at @ premium. The present ar- rangement of the library occupying_four rooms is inconvenient and expensive, While the location of our present library building is admirable in every respect the building itself 1s entiquated and inconvenlent. In his report this year he took occasion to say on the same subject: Does it not then behoove us, as custodians of the second largest literary treasure on this coast, to do justice to the subject in general, and to the wants of our members in particular—in short, what I mean is, is it not our imperative duty to provide a building for the Mechanics' Institute worthy of its purpose and its name? No particular action was taken upon this portion of President Denicke’'s re- | port until a short time ago, when the trus- tees of the Institute received a letter from Harvey W. Corbett, a son of Mrs. Dr. | Corbett, who s now a student of architec- | ture at Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. The young San Franciscan explained that, as it was one of the requirements of the school that students for graduation should submit plans for some building, he would | be glad to design, free of cost for the Me- | chanics’ Institute, a plan for a pavilion | to take the place of the present structure | on Larkin street, or for a other struct- ure the trustees might desire. This offer | was referred to a_committee composed of | | Horace Wiison, Colonel George H. Wallis, | Rodney Kendrick and B. A. Denicke. This committee decided that the Insti- | tute needed a new library building more | than it did a parlor, and, proceeding on that theory it drafted a letter of thanks | to Mr. Corbett, expressing a preference | | | N THE to revive, and, wow, he was angry.

In the report of the Board of Trustees at their meeting Wednesday night the committee held that the Post street property was inadequate and that some of the present realty holdings of the Institute should be converted into cash for the purpose of erecting a new one. It asked that power be granted it to sub- mit a specific plan. This report met with some opposition, the principal one beinf that the time was not ripe for the co version of any of the realty. The oppos tion won out on a vote and definite steps in the direction of the new building were not taken. his does not, however, pre- vent the drawing of the plans. In accord- ance with suggestions from President Denicke they will be made in the hope that, by the time they are ready for sub- mission, the point of view of the opposing directors will have changed and they wiil become supporters of the new building The general data forwarded to Mr. Cor- bett by President Denicke, upon which the young architect will work, provide for | a six-story fireproof building of stone and | iron, with basement, to set on a lot 100x137% feet; the ground floor and base- ment for business purposes; second and third and fourth floors for the Institute; fifth floor for offices and studio; sixth | floor for a club.

He and Frenna Have a Wordy Alter- cation in the County Jail. Millicnaire Bradbury was released from the County Jail yesterday afternoon, he having served his sentence of twenty-four hours’ imprisonment for expectorating in a street car. Yesterday morning after breakfast the prisoner found Joseph Frenna, the slayer of J. F. Turner, sit- ting in the jall parlor, and the wealthy gentleman did not like it. He make a | remark that it was an outrage that he should be thrown in among murderers and thieves. This aroused the indignation of Frenna, and he replied to Bradbury that Brad- bury had been convicted and was there- fore a convict, while he (Frenna) was not a convict, but a man accused of crime. He had killed a man in self-defense, he sald, while Bradbury had deliberately vi- olated the law and was serving his sen- tence for doing it. Bradbury was not released until after 3 o’'clock yesterday afternoon. He had cherished the hope that at 11 a. m. the bolts would be sprung and he would be declared a free man. He figured this out from_ the fact that sentence of twenty- four hours’ imprisonment was pronounced upon him_about 11 o’clock on the preced- ing day. But these things did not come to pass and he raved and told his troubles | to the attendants cf the Broadway Jall | for about five hours longer than he had | expected_to. X After Bradbury had learned his fate on Tuesday he loitered about the City Prison for several hours. He believed that his sentence simply meant incarceration be- hind any old bars for a speclfied length of time, and that the law was not Efl.rflcu- lar where they were situated. le had friends in the City Prison and he thought the time would pass more pleasantly there. So it was not until late in the aft- ernoon that the Sheriff took him to the County Jail, ‘When 11 o’clock arrived yesterday morn- ing he picked up his hat and motioned to the door. The attendant then explained to the millionaire that the terms in his sentence were that he should serve twen- ty-four hours in a County Jail and that his delay in arriving at that institution cut no figure. As he had been booked at 3:30 on Tuesday his release could not oe- cur_until the same time on Wednesday. And it did not.
