Should this highest au- thority support Judge Belcher's decision the trouble that would ensue would be appalling.

The case of Elizabeth Bradley, who was at one time teacher of drawing in the Polytechnic High School, against the Board of Education has been closed on a decision on demurrer rendered by Judge Beawell yesterday. The case {8 one involv. ing the right of the board to drop a teacher when the department to which she belongs is discontinued. Miss Bradley brought suit some time ago to have the board restrained from drop- ping her department from the curriculum of the school, but in this she failed. Then ghe brought the suit to have herseif rein- stated in the department, regardless of the fate of her specialty, but in this she has also failed. Her complaint was de- murred to on the ground of insufficiency of facts, and thisxdemurrer has been sus- tained. She has been allowed time to amend. Performed for Charity.

New City and County Asked For—Actio Dying Park Trees. HERE is a great deal of gambling carried on with the law’s sanction. Far too much, indeed, for tHe good of the youths and weak-minded adults of this city, who cannot resist wast- ing their hard-earned money in a foolhardy effort to get @ something for nothing.” pa pe | This is an extract from the report filed | : : : by the Grand Jury yesterday, prior to| that body's discharge by Judge Bahrs.‘ The particular section it is taken from is | the one devoted to “‘social evils.” | C. F. Lurmann, A. J. Vander White and | H. M. Whitly, the committee appointe: by Foreman Carmany to investigate un-| der this head, are the authors of it, and the section of their report devoted to| gambling denounces in equally fearless | and unequivocal terms the existence of | the various bucket shops &nd sure-thing resorts which flourish so extensively at the present time. Jury Says ‘“Barefaced Fraud.” | The Cafe Royal, on Market and Fourth streets, and the brokerage commission house on Ellis street, east of Powell, are | particularized as the most prominent of the undesirable gambling resorts. “Bare-| faced fraud” is the expression used in reference to the business of the Ellis- The report further | haracterizes this place as being a “raw | clock game veneered thinly with a cloak of_respectability.” | “The police,” the Teport goes on to| state, “have several times arrested the proprietors of this establishment, but the | courts, both the Police and Superior, | have dismissed the cases, the reason | given being that they were not conduct-| ing a percentage game, and therefore not | infringing the law. The District Attor-| ney has informed the Grand Jury that| such a gambling device is at the most | but a misdemeanor offense, and hence | not within their jurisdiction.” | Cate Royal's Immense Profits. | Draw poker, as conducted in the Cafe | Royal, is characterized as being another “sure-thing.” The open games played | there have to make their profit out of the players. The ordinary “arop” or “draw- out” would be unlawful. This difficulty is surmounted by a very palpable subter- fuge. The house sells the players at each table two packs of cards an hour. Each | player gets a check entitling him to ten | of refreshments from the | house whenever he chooses to take the same. Each one must contribute fifteen cents for each pack of cards. This makes their expenses (Ort}l; cents per hour aplece. This is a heavy expense and makes the game extremely profitable for the house. It is only a matter of time when the house gets nearly all the money, the players having been given in exchange cheap cards and refreshments at a big profit. Nickel-in-the-slot machines are also condemned by the committee, it regarding the most of them as “fixed” and so con- stituting ‘“‘a_bare-faced swindle.” “The doctrine of the greatest to the great- est number,” concludes this section of the report, “demands that the machines be abolished altogether.” Lottery Gembling Flourishes. Lottery gambling is reported to be flourlsh‘;ly\s the efforts of the city to sup- press it being described as farcical. The overcrowded condition of the City and County Hospital is stated in that committee’s report to be ‘‘abominable.” Consumptives are indiscriminately mixed in witl other patients. cubic alr ordinance is also violated. The com- mittee urges the erection of a new hospi- tal and recommends that pent at once in making the present structure habitable for the city’s sick. The location of the Harbor Hospital is found fault with, the stench arising from the mud beneath it at low tide being dangerous to the health of its permanent staff. The Chinatown committee reports that no living case of bubonic KIBB.LIQ has been discovered. ““The %lng\le as,” states the report, ‘‘evidently been sporadic, not epi- demic, and at the very worst has never shown any indications of spreading be- yond Chinatown.” Acres of Park Trees Dying. The committes on parks recommends the construction of a refreshment booth at the nt bicycle rest in Golden Gate Park at a cost of about $25,000. Three hun- dred acres of trees to the west of Straw- berry Hill are sald to be dying for lack of fertilization. The Board of Supervisors is petitioned to make an extra nm)ropn;, tion in the next budget to provide some means of saving the grove, many of which could not be r?lu: without great ex- nse. The inside .nsmel{ Jackson quare, Holly Park and Frankiin Park, are also suffering from neglect due to lack of funds. The final report states that a great im- provement is noticeable in and around the Cit; It is recommended that the ordinances prohibiting indiscriminate ex. pectoration, le: sand and uncovered r.r ‘Wagons more stringently en- forced than at present.
