SCIENTISTS SEE DANGER IN THE SCAVENGER CART Protest Against Carrying of Garbage in Streets in Daytime. Bacteria of Many Contagious Dis- eases Conveyed by the Air. Threats of Epidemic Considered. SEaigs e Professor Elsen of the Academy of Sci- ences yesterday added his testimony to that of others that the passage of uncov- ered scavenger carts through the streets in business hours is fraught with danger to the public health. Sputum, perspira- tion upon clothes, disease germs from houses where contagious diseases have been harbored, the sweepings from sick- rooms—all go into the ash barrel and are tossed upon the scavenger's load, to cir- culate by day thruuf‘h the thickest part of the city. In all these substances pro- lific in bacteria Professor Eisen found danger to the health of the people. R. H. Freund, one of the best known bacteriologists on the coast, said: ““Tu- berculosis bacteria are conveyed in the | air. Con- sumption may be occasioned by the trans. portation of dangerous matter uncovered through the public streets. Old cloths and handkerchiefs from sickrooms find their way into the ash barrels. Outside of hospitals disinfection is unsatisfuctory. Private persons hardly ever think of thor- ough disinfection. The sweepings of Sputum dried is still a danger. houses and all decomposing matter con- | tain disease. Naturally all sweepings of houses get into the scavenger carts. Diphtheria, scarlet and other fevers may be conveyed by the air. Any bacteriolo- gist will tell you that there is danger in the way the garbage of the city is trans- ported through the streets. People are too lenient, too hazardous. The carts should not be used when the streets are throngad.” Dr. Lane, founder of the Lane Hospital and dean of the faculty of the Cooper Medical College, sald. ““The carts should be covered at all times when they are moving through the streets, so that the people may be protected. The proper time to collect garbage is when there are the fewest on the streets.” This was the sum of what all perscns who were interviewed esterday sald about the garbage colleclron in the city. Merchants are discussing the matter seri- ously, recognizing the existing evil. — Stenographers Win Their Case. The City Attorney yesterday informed | provision of the charter providin the Board of Supervisors that it would be inadvisable to appeal from Judge Sea- well's decision regarding the validity ?l‘l l: a | “stenographers In the criminal depart- ments of the Superior Court shall receive an annual salary of $2400, which shall in- clude transcription and stationery used by them.” Mr. Lane agrees witl Judge Seawell that the fienerll law governing stenographers’ fees is superior to the char | ter provision, and that the decision would | be affirmed on appeal. This restores their ay to the old figures, which are largely n excess of the charter requirement. — POLICE ASKED TO COMPOUND FELONY Before Declaring Peace the Chinese Want No Action Taken Regard- ing Recent Murders. Ho Yow, the Chinese Consul, has taken a peculiar stand regarding a declaration of peace among the rival highbinder so- cletles and the result is that a settle- ment of the war is further off than ever. Chief Sulllvan was notified Thursday that the Consul and the Chinese Six Com- panies were to meet and satisfactorily arrange for a suspension of hostilities. | Yesterday morning the Consul saw De- | tective ¥d Gibson and informed him that | before declaring peace the warring tongs wanted the police to desist from search- ing for the men who committed the r cent murders. Gibson notified Chief Sul livan of the Consul’s request and the | chief emphatically declined to be a party | to any such illegal proceedings. e in- | structed Gibson to inform the Consul to | that effect and also that he was tired of hearing of rromiaes that meant nothing. The idea of appointing four Chinese de- tectives to co-operate with the police in suppressing the highbinders, so far as the chief is concerned, {8 now a thing of the past. The arrest of Luey Poy on suspicion of | being Img}lczled in the murders of Low | Son and Ton Quey on March 5 is looked upon as a trick to ~et him out of the | way because he informed the police of | the whereabouts of the men suspected of committing other murders. He was ar- | rested on information supplied by Wong Sing, alias Wong Guey, who has been | recognized as a man released from Fol- | som penitentiary June 15 last, after serv- |ing a sentence for assault to murder in | Lassan County. Tne police are investi- | gating_the case and it is probable that Luey Poy wlill be released from custody. e A Quiet Day for Women.

The Supervisors’ Judiciary Committee is experiencing considerable trouble with taxpayers whose property has been sold to the State for nonpayment of taxes, when in fact the owners are in possession of the receipted tax bills for the same. The error arises because the Tax Col- lector, to whom the money was paid, has through his deputies failed to enter the amount as paid on the assessment roll. This neglect has occurred under different administrations and is confined to no one official, being simply a clerical error. ‘When the taxpayer discovers that his property has been sold to the State the practice has heretofore been for him to go to the Auditor's office, where he redesms the property by paying the tax a second time, in addition to certain penalties. This is an injustice to the taxpayer, whose first payment, through no fault of his, has not been recorded. The taxpayer then petl- tions the Board of Supervisors for the re- turn of the cost of redemption, but the Judiciary Committee is powerless to rec- ommend such action, because there is no fund out of which the money can be paid. In all cases the committee has reported that the petitioners must look for relief to the Tax Collector in office at the time the taxes were originally paid. This would necessitate an expense in many cases greater than the amount involved. Under the old law, when property was sold wrongfully to individuals for non- payment of taxes when the owner had actually paid the same, the matter was remedied by a resolution passed by the board directing the Tax Collector to can- cel the sale. It is suggested as a way out of the present difficulty, and it will be brought to the attention of the Judiciary Committee, that when a taxpayer has discovered that his property had been sold to the State and he holds a dul{ signed tax recelpt that he petition the board to adopt a resoluticn calling the attention of the State Controller to the facts, and the latter, finding that the evidence submitted is conclusive, may order the cancellation of the sale. WANTED PROFITS THAT NEVER CAME Renl Estate Dealer Less Arrested on Complaint of an Alleged Dupe. J. A. Fontanel, 785D Stockton street, swore to a complaint in Judge Mogan's court yesterday for the arrest of M. Less, real estate dealer, 765 Market street, on a charge of obtalning money by false pre- tenses. Less was arrested by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea. Fontanel told the Judge that.he saw one of Less’ advertisements and on Janu- ary 22 was induced to give him $325 for a half-interest in his business, which was represented as paying a handsome divi- dend. He soon discovered that the busi- ness was not as represented as he had only received $15 as his share of the rofits. He also discovered that W. J. arker, 637 Sutter street, had pald Less $250 for a half-interest in the business and Fred Goetz of San Jose was another partner. Less has been arrested several times on similar charges, but defeated the cases on technicalities. —_————— Big Salvage Suit Filed. James F. McSherry began suit yester- day in the United States District Court against the Alaska Commercial Company for salvage. The complaint recites that the steamer Louise and three barges in tow, laden with merchandise for Dawson City, were wrecked In_a violent storm near the mouth of the Yukon River July 29, 1899, the steamer and barges being the property of the defendant, and that two of the barges were recovered and the cargo unloaded by McSherry and work- men in his employ. It is alieged further that on the day followin; cSherry's labors an .fem of the defendant, with a force of thirty men, forcibly seized and took possession of the barges and the 0, the combined value of which was The Sale of Fireworks.

It 1s regarded as almost certain that Auditor Wells will take the same position as Superintendent of Schools Webster re- garding the estimate to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for the expenses of maintenance of schools upon which the next tax levy will be based. Mr. Webster in preparing his figures will follow the State law, whereby $1,090,000 will be avail- able for salaries of teachers and other em- ployes in the School Department. The Auditor holds that this position is the cor- rect one as has been determined by a court decision that the State law is para- mount to city statutes. The Board of Education’s intention to adhere strictly to the terms of the char- ter providing for the settl aside for salaries of $28 for each pupil in daily at- tendance, which, at TI.OOK. 11 amount to $1,036,000, is meeting with considerable un- fayorable comment, as the deficit must necessarily fall on the teachers. The other salaries, including those of the four School Directors, are statutory, and there- fore unassailable. “You can quote me,” sald Auditor Wells yesterday, “‘as laylng that I for one will oppose any action that will tend to rob the teachers of ome cent of their hard- earned money. I shall base my estimate on the actual needs of the department based on last year's figures according to State law. The greater part of the school moneys come from the Btate and I shall be guided accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of the charter.” —_— Shoeing the Fire Horses.
