Resolved, That the secretary of this commit- | tee be directed to forward a certiMied copy of | the above to the President of the United States. | As the reading of the resolutions progressed many of the sentences elicited outbursts of applause.

His Honor Orders Lane to Deliver the Restraining Order on Treas- urer Brooks to Other Attorneys. i The Mayor will not allow the City At- torney to defend Treasurer Brooks, who has been served wifh a restraining order pre ing his paying any moneys out of the St. Mary’'s Park fund of $125,000. This order was issued on the petition of the promoters of the park project shortly after the decision was rendered by Judge Seawell that the fund could be used for other purposes. As soon as Treasurer Brooks had read the restraining order served on him he turned it over to the City Attorney un- der the bellef that that official must pros- ecute and defend for the city all actions at law or in equity and all special pro- ceedings for or against the city, accord- ing to the express terms of the charter. But at this point Mayor Phelan, who ‘ever since the St. Mary's Park project was first promulgated, has secretly or openly the monthly reports. opposed it as occasion demanded, stepped in. He notified City Attorney Lane that he must turn over the papers he had re- ceived from Treasurer Brooks to Bishop & Wheeler, attorneys for the several con- tractors, ahd who had conducted the case before Judge Seawell with, to them, suc- e ful res n quoth the Lilliputian o allow Mr. Lane to defend the stra{ning e 1S a prejudiced party, as he had the temerity to, on the Tequest of the Board of Supervisors, ren- der an o) n that the St. Mary's Park fund should be held inviolate, &8 it had been apportioned for that express pur- view might cause Lane to k defense and consequently surer might be restrafned meke a w the City from using the fund to satisfy other claims, and the park promoters would iually succeed in getting from the the money which they thought should be used to purchase the park.” at is why City Attorney Lane re- ived orders from the Mayor to forth- vith deliver the papers to Bishop & Wheeler, who hope to kunock out the re- straining order when it comes before Judge Hebbard for hearing next Monday morning. There appears to be small com- fort in s:lx:'r‘e tor' the pa!l‘k promoters, how- ever, Judging from, the remark let fall Sesticduy by Audregk Well “For all 1 know,” said h& “the money supposed to be set aside for the park may heve been already used for other pur- poses. According to the provision of the charter, all unexpended balances, except those ih the School Library and a few other funds, were transferred to the gen- eral fund on Ja.nua?‘ 8, 1500, when the charter went into effect, so it looks as if the St. Mary’s Park fund has no ex- istence at present.” Statistician Griffin in Trouble.

DESIRE MORE RIGID GAM%ING ORDINANCE Police Commissioners Request Super- visors to Give Them Authority to Abolish Poker Games. President Newhall of the Board of Po- | lice Commissioners and Chief of Police | Sullivan appeared before the Supervisors’ Police Committee vesterday and made an urgent plea that a new gambling or- dinance be adopted, so that public gam- bling could be abolished under its pro- visions. “As the gambling ordinance exists at| present,” sald Mr. Newhall, “the Commis- | sioners are powerless to enforce it. We | cannot interfere with gambling houses now in operation, and I have reliable in- formation that new ones are about to be opened up. The gambling carried on at the Cafe Royal is in such a flourishing condition that games will be established | on similar lines at the Baldwin Annex. We | earnestly request that proper legislatios be enacted by the board to give the Po. lice Commissioners authority to close up | the resorts.” Chief Sullivan stated that the remarks of Mr. Newhall applied more particularly to poker-playing, which had -been decided by ‘the court to be a game of skill and preferred agalnst W.

HONEST MAN SAVES THE CITY TWENTY DOLLARS Discovery in Auditor’s Office of Seri- ous Error by Department of Public Works. That extremely loose methods charac- terize many of the departments of the municipal government was manifested yesterday by a discovery made by the deputies in the Auditor's office. 'S, C. Murray, a contractor and builder, pre- sented a receipt for $20 which he had de- posited with the Board of Public Works for opening a street for a side sewer on Grant avenue near Sutter. Chief Deputy Wells found two demands for $20 each among his papers, which were regularly made out by the Department of Public ‘Works. Both demands were allowed by the Supervisors’ Finance Committee. One was sworn to by Murray himself and the other by his cashier, O. J. Hicks. Murray was informed that there were two de- mands for $20 each drawn in his favor, but he replied that there was but $20 com~ ing to him, which was the amount he | had originally- deposited. Had Murray Mot been honest regarding the matter he would have received the two demands, as they were both regular. WOULD HAVE MORE OF PHYSICAL CULTURE Superintendent Webster Mistake Has Been Made in Dis- missing Special Teachers. Superintendent of Schools Webster is of the opinfon that the Board of Educa- tion has made a serious mistake in dis- missing Professors Miehling, Stahl and Barth from their positions as special teachers of physicdl culture in the School Department. It is understood that Web- ster's non-approval of the board’s action is supplemented by that of the parents, who will in all probability file.an earnest protest against the dismissal of the spe- cial teachers. The German residents are especially interested in the study of phy- sical culture and believe that it should be extended rather than contracted. ““The three teachers who were dis- missed,” said Superintendent Webster, “were doing excellent work and splendid results were being obtained in the phy- sical development of the pupils. In ad- dition to teaching the children their ex- ercises’ they devoted several hours every week to visiting the class rooms, where they instructed the regular teachers in putting the pupis through the course. I belleve in the establishment of physical Believes | culture on a comprehensive scale, and as I have heretofore expressed myself I would have swimming tanks, and even boxing lessons for nasiums e pupils.” i Charter Prevents Paving. The provision In the charter requiring that all cobblestones with which a street may have been paved must be moved to the Cogperation Yard when improvements are to be made will result in Sansome street, between Sutter and Bush, going without a fine bituminous pavement for some time to come. Some time ago the property owners alol the block men- tioned getltloned the Board of Public Works for a bituminous pavement to be laid at their own expense. A contractor had agreed to do the work for $3000, but as he had figured closely he requested that he be permitted to retain the cob- bles, which are worth about $125. This would allow him a reasonable profit on his contract and insure a fine pavement on the street, but the charter prevents the accomplishment of the improvement at least for some time. In this connection it may be stated that the board has placed the block in question on its schedule of streets to be improved. The expense will therefore ultimately be borne by the eity. When the work is done it will cost $50 to remove the cobbles to the Corporation Yard in addition to the cost of repaving the block, which will fall on the ecity. e New Consul for Spain.

Customs Collector Jackson received & circular from O. L. Spaulding, Assistant | Secretary of the Treasury, yesterday, | calling attention-to an evil which the de- | partment has determined to abate.
