R Ordinances Prohibiting Lotteries Are Passed to Print—Municipal Elec- tric Street Lighting Sys- tem Favored. S - | i After several attempts to legislate upon the abuses of the telephone monopoly in requiring the nickel to be dropped before the switch is given, the Board of Super- visors at yesterday’'s meeting passed to print a new order which it is confidently expected will correct the defective service of the corporation. The new ordinance, which was introduced by Supervisor Mc- Carth: is similar to the others which were allowed to go by default on account of apparent illegalities. It prohibits those rendering telephone service from charging or recelving any compensation therefor before the number or party called for an- | swers. Any person, firm or corporation | that shall receive compensation in any in- | stance before the party or number shall respond to the call of the person ordering | the service shall suffer a fine or imprison- ment. Supervisor McCarthy explained that Su- perintendent Hewitt of the department of electricity had informed the License Com- mittee during its investigations that there was no reason why the ordinance was not practicable. The telephone corporation’s claim that it would be necessary to double { its force to carry out the provisions of the |law was not borne out by the facts. Ong‘ | a few extra operators would be required, | and the only opposition came from the | company’s disinciination to cease its petty exactions for defective service. McCarthy asked that the public be afforded the pro- tection it deserved on the proposition, and he was sufi[\nrled unanimously by his col- leagues when the vote was taken. The ordinance prohibiting the possession of lottery tickets, papers, stamps, tools, instruments or lottery devices was re- ferred to the City Attorney for his opin- | fon. “Sanderson addressed the board in op- position to the passage of the order. He said that the Political Code already pro- vided for the prohibition of lotteries and that the bill should be referred to the City Tobin stated that the ordinance had peen draft. ed carefully at the request of Chief Sulli- van, and that it was difficult to obtain convictions under the State law. Reed held that the only way to enforce the law was by ordinances passed by the Super- visors. The other two ordinances which prohib- | ited the “passing, giving. delivery, circula- tion or distribution of lottery drawings, or coples or memorada thereof, or the distri- bution of handbills, papers, cards. etc.. of the winning numbers or figures in a iot- tery drawing,” were passed to print e Committee on Public Utilities sub- mitted a recommendation that the city in- stall its electric lighting distributing sys- tem. The report concluded as follows The cost of electrical lighting the streets and public buildings of this municipality wouid be inside of § 2 per vear, of which $28.8%5 would be for the public bufldings and $164.250 for the streets. Your committee belleves that it would be wise to install this system of pub- lie lighting immediately While bond lssues for millions are urged for other r\uk-:h;”ullll' this that will take years In acquiring, improvement appealing to e citizen y night of the year can be established during the coming year. We recommend to the Board of Supervisors the adoption of this plan, and providing the means of establishing in the next tax levy In the meantime your committee will endeavor to obtain an offer to put this sys- tem in place for a fixed sum from some re- sponsible person or corporation. The resolution directing the Board of Public Works to establish the de on Sixth street, between Folsom and Bryant, at a cost of $2150, was opposed by the Finance Committee on the ground that there were no funds available for the pur- pose. A motion to postpone the matter until next July was bitterly objected to by Maguire, who said it would be an in- | PXPer to the property owners if the street were not improved. He finally agreed to allow the matter to lie over for one week until a conference could be justice had between the property owners and the | Board of Works. Miscellaneous Business. A resolution was adopted directing the clerk to insert in all advertisements inviting pro- posals for supplies, printing, etc., a clause re- quiring bidders to pay advertising charges.

An invitation to the board to attend the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club’s festival at its park in San Rafael next Sunday was accepted. The ordinance fixing the incandescent electric light rate at 12 cents per 1000 watt hours was finally passed.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 9.—It is expected | that there will be something like 100 dele- | gates to the California Bankers' Asso- clation, which is to hold its convention in this city on May 3, 4 and 5. Many ques- | tions bearing on_public finances will be ! discussed and efforts will be made to frame measures for presentation to the next Legislature desired by the banking interests. A circular letter issued by | | President Frank Miller to the banks and | bankers of California states: | Since the last convention of the assoclation | the question of currency reform, so long a | source of agitation to the people, has received | a_happy solution through the act of Congress | of March 1, 190, entitled “‘An act to define and fix the standard of value, to maintain the | parity of all forms of money issued or coined by the United States,’ etc. This gives occa- sion for congratulation, for the principles ren- dered effective by the act are those which cur association from {ts organization has repeat- edly atfirmed There remain within our own State issues yet unsettled that concern the people at large equally with those engaged in the business of banking. A uniform law of negotiable instrument as formulated by a conference of the various State Commissioners on Uniformity of Legislation in the United States, and now the law in many States, was passed by both houses of the last ut was not approved by the Governor. ‘That California falled in this re- spect to take a place in line with the most ad vanced States of the Union was a great disap pointment and at the next session of the Legis- lature the attempt should again be made to have this law made that of the State. No question so nearly concerns all classes of persons as taxation. The first principles of good government require that all propertly shall contribute its just proportion of the cost of government, no ‘more and no less. Pro- fessor Carl C, Plehn of the University of Cali- fornia, an eminent authority on every phase of | the question, has been invited to address the | convention In this behalf. ]‘ UNION MEN WERE AMONG THE RIOTERS | | Declaration of a Coeur d’Alene Man | Who Opposes the Miners’ Organization. | WASHINGTON, April 9.—When the | Coeur d'Alene investigation was resumed to-day Representative Sulzer made an em- phatic protest against what he character- ized as “snap judgment” by the majority of the investigating committee. At the | last session the record of the “bull pen,’” | giving the names of those Imprisoned, | was printed. The record printed to-day showed that a rnewspaper clipping, pasted in the book, also had been printed, giving a list of ringleaders in the miners’ agita- | tion and some 400 who had been indicted. | Sulzer's motion to strike out this matter | was lost by a tie vote. 1 Henry E. Howes, a business man in the Coeur d'Alenes not identified with either faction, was offered as a witness to show the neutral sentiment on the trouble. He | ‘was objected to, however, on the ground | that he was a bitter opponent of the miners’ unions. His testimony was ad- | mitted and he told of the disturbed condi- tions over a series of years, leading up to | the blowing up of the Bunker Hill mill. | The witness testified that he knew that | members of the Miners’ Union were pres- | ent when the mill was blown up. He saw | and recognized some of the men on their way to the mill. Some of them applied | to ifls store for ammunition. Part o hl!f information was gained while a member | of the Grand Jury.
