TEACHERS MUST WAIT FOR THEIR SALARIES Auditor’s Plan to Pay Them in Ad- vance Blocked by School 5 Board. The teachers of the publie schools were not paid their salaries yesterday owing to the failure of the Board of Education to sign their demands. A few days ago Auditor Wells wrote a letter to the board requesting that the demands be signed so the teachers could receive their salaries before the end of the month. The board did not comply with the re- quest, It claims that it could not spare | the time, as it was engaged in_passin on samples for school supplies. The loea pedagogues are sadly disappointed, as now they will have to wait until the regular day of payment, July 5. The fact that | vacation days intervene makes the, disap- pointment all the greater. Primary Test Case Advanced, The appealed case of Joseph Britton against the Board of Election Commis- sloners has been advanced on the calendar i of the Supreme Court for hearing on July 9, at 2 o'clock. This case was brought to test the validity of the Stratton sr(mnr)‘ law for the selection of elegates to conventions of political par- ties. In the lower court the Commission- ers ‘entered a demurrer to the complaint, which was sustained. The .nsed’ €] from the order sustaining the mur:er. ‘When the matter comes before the higher | interest of his court it will be heard by the Justices in bank. It is believed that the principal reason for the advancement of the case was the desire for the matter to be set- tled hefore the coming campaign begins in earnest. " —_———— TAKES REFUGE BEHIND PHRITY OF ELECTIONS LAW Peculiar Defense of E. C. Cordell, Erstwhile Candidate for Justice of the Peace. E. C. Cordell, a teacher in the Business Evening School, has set up a peculiar de- fense in a suit brought against him by Mrs. e P. Roberts to recover $50 due on a promissory note executed by Cordell in October, 1896, but since lost by the complainant. In his answer flled yester- day. Cordell alleges that the action Is barred by the provisions of the act to pro- mote the purity of elections, but fails to state exactly how the purity law should save him from.paying his debts. Cordell was a candidate for Justice of the Peace on the Citizens' Republican ticket, and in her complaint Mrs. Roberts, who is the wife of A. E. Roberts, a teacher in the Humboldt Evening School, alleged that she advanced him $150 in the candidacy. She further al- leged that only $100 had been paid back by Cordell, and she sued for the re- mainder. with interest. 1t is likely that the Board of Education will take a hand in the controversy, as a rule was recently passed providing that all_employes of the School Department must pay_their debts under pain of dis- missal. Should Mrs. Roberts’ claim be fuu?rll just Cordell may be called upon to explain. The sult will be heard by Judge Kerri- gan. POUND LIMITS ALREADY EXTEND TO COUNTY LINE Supervisor McCarthy Holds That Charter Contains Specific Pro- vision Thereon. Supervisor McCarthy is of the opinion that under the express provisions of the charter the pound limits extend to the county line. He cites section 10 of chap- ter 2, which says that one of the powers of the Supervisors is ‘“to provide for a public pound and to make all necessary rules and regulations in the matter of animals running at large and for the cus- tody and destruction of the same.” In article I, section 2, of the charter the boundaries of the city and county of San Francisco are declared to be those set forth in section 390 of the Political Code of California i “Thisappears tome,” said McCarthy, “to settle the controversy existing between opposing interests on the extension of the pound Iimits. All legislation contained in the charter applies to the city and county in its entirety and does not govern any particular section to the exclusion of another. It then becomes apparent that the section bearing on the maintenance of a pound affects the whole county, and I believe that the Board of Supervisors has not the power to district the city for the operations of the poundmaster. A rea- sonable interpretation of the charter makes it clear that the entire county should be under the jurisdiction of the poundmaster.” The joint Committee on Police and Judiciary, to which the question of ex- tending the limits has been réferred, has not yet made its report, but it is under- stood that it favors the extension to the districts known as Lakeview and Ocean View. Supervisor Reed desires to intro- duce ‘an ordinance prohibiting the roam- ing of cattle in the streets in outlying sec- tions, which will in a measure relieve the annoyvance to which suburban residents are subjected. —_—————— ALL PRINTING BIDS CONTAINED ERASURES Supervisors’ Committee Will Award No Contracts Until Disputed Point Is Settled. The protest made by Fhillips & Smyth against the contract for certain municipal printing belng awarde:d to J. H. Barry on account of erasur sing been made in his bid received severe setback at vesterday's meeting of the Supervisors’ Printing Committee. A number of bids were opened. and it was discovered that all those submitted by . in- cluding Phillips & 3 contained erasures. The committee decided to award no printing contracts untfl the in- junction served by non-union printers had been settled in court. The disputed point as to whether erasures invalidate a bid will be considered on Friday afternoon by the Judiciary Committee. The bidders claim that certain items were erased be- cause they did not desire to bid on them. The printing of the Municipal Reports was awarded to the Commercial Pub- lishing Company for 53 cents a page, no opposition to the award being made by opposing bidders. — .- = MARRIED AT THE CHICAGO BEACH HOTEL Miss Electa Elsbeth Miles, Well- Known in San Francisco, Weds a Successful Young Busi- ness Man of Erie, Pa.

LR R o Chief Sullivan issued an order yester- day to take effect July 1 that will cause consternation among the officers on the water front.and surprise the force gen- erally. Captain Dunleavy was summoned to his presence yesterday morning and was informed of the new order. To get transferred to the harbor district has always been looked upon in the de- partment as a sort of promotion, as it s considered a “soft snap.”” When a cancy oeccurred there was as much wire-pulling as for a promotion as ser- geant, and the man who w: igned to nll the vacancy was envied by his brother officers. Unlike other districts in the city, the officers at the harbor station had only to serve eight hours each day. They had elght hours for work, eight hours for amusement and eight hours for sleep. In other districts the men have to be on duty one day twelve hours and the other day six hours, making eighteen hours in the wa two ds But the watches are so ar- ranged that an officer ha no time for amusement unless he give up eral hours which should be devoted to sleep. The Chief has now decided that on and after July 1 the men at the harbor station will be placed on the same footing as the men in the other districts and the “soft snap” is at an end. Captain Dunleavy was instructed yesterday by the Chief to make his arrangements so that the new order would come into effect on July 1. It is thought that he will require more men, and if so they will be taken from some of the other districts, but he was asked to so arrange it that no more men would be necessary. The change will necessitate a lieutenant being assigned to assist Captaln Dun- leavy. He has been hitherto without one, a_sergeant performing that duty. It is expected that if Lieutenant Bennett on the retired list is reported by the medical | examiners fit for duty he will be assigned to the harbor district. In case, when the headquarters are tra red to the Hall of Justice Lieutenant Esola will be outhff a job and the harbor will be open to him. RETIRED SERGEANTS TO BE RETURNED TO DUTY Harper, Wright, Price and Melody Reported Fit for Ser- vice. At the meeting of the Police Commis- sion last night the following report was received from its examining physicians: After a careful examination we find the fol- lowing police officers now on the pension fund S0 improved that we consider them fit for active | police duty Edgar Harper, C. P. Wright, Willlam Price and Joseph Melody. In the case of H. Monahan, we find him suffering fro extensive varicose veins in both legs, Incapac tating him from duty. Willlam Tyner we find suflerlnz from asthma, rendering him unfit for uty. The policemen restored were ordered by the Commissioners to report to Chief Sui- livan on the 1st prox. Patrolman J. P. Wost was recommend ed for a pension on account of parti paralysts of the right side. ' The applica- tions for renewals of licenses of Dunn Bros., Gobey, William Abbott, Rudolph Techau and the Terminal saloon wer over to the next meeting. A number of keepers of saloons in vari- ous parts of town had their licenses re- newed only on condition that their places were in the future to be run in a more orderly manner. It was decided to reopen the cases aginst Harry Hook and James Kelly, e sergeants, reduced some time ago to the ranks, as there was no record of the charges against them. They will be given a chance to regain their old positions. —_— WILL BRING FIRST CHICAGO PASSENGERS Initial Santa Fe Train Bringing Travelers Direct to Arrive Saturday.

The City Attorney advised Treasurer Brooks vesterday that it has been re- speatedly decided by the Supreme Court that the funds of each fiscal year must bear the burden of the expenses incurred in such year. Taxes raised for the years 1594-95-96-97-98 cannot be used for the pay ment of back claims. The opinion came in reply to a communication from the Treasurer that there are some $60,000 in registered claims outstanding for supplies and_other necessaries furnished the city in 1892, and asking if money collected for delinquent taxes during subsequent years could be used to liquidate the claim. —_——— Rosenbaum "Case Continued.
