The autopsy made yesterday by Morgue Surgeon Leland upon the body of Edmund Willlamson revealed the cause of death to be fracture of the skull, with the resulting cerebral hemorrhage. ". E. Chapin, assistant superintendent of the California Street Raflway Com- pany, called at the Morgue yesterday and made a statement which tends to prove that Willlamson was to blame for his own death. He was seated on the inside of the car, and when it passed Powell street Wil- Hamson walked to the back platform ana got off while it was in motion in front o1 the Stanford mansion. He fell and struck on the back of his head. The car was stopped and the infured man taken on beard and his wound exam- ined by Dr. Lustig, who was one of the pasgengers. When the car arrived at the crossing of California and Kearny streets Willlamson was taken into Joy's drug- store, where Dr. Lustig dressed several scalp wounds. The patient walked away from the drugstore, and was next seen near Sheriff Lackmann’s grocery, on Cali- fornia street, between Stockton and Pow- ell, in charge af two young men who had piloted him thither. ————— May Be Charged With Murder.

The two communications were referred to the License and Order Committee, which has the proposed ordinance under considera-| tion.

DOROTHEA MOORE, | Chairman Civi | _The Cigarmakers’ International No. 228 also submitted a resolution indors- |ing the efforts of Labor Commissioner P. C. Meyer to lay before the board facts and data exposing the actions and exa tions and impositions from which the | laundry employes are suffering through the operation of an existing municipal or- | dinance, which fixes the maximum period of labor in laundries at from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m., and in demanding on behalf of 2000 helpless girls and women a material re- ductlon in the time they may be required to labor. The resolution says in conclu- sion: We heartily approve of the timely and oppor- tune action of Organized Labor in calling tre | attention of the public to the conditions little | short of slavery or serfdom at present prevail- | | ing in our local laundries and in champloning the cause of those tollers who need sympathy, support and protection.

She went into details as to the splendid work of the society and told of | its marvelous growth and continued ad- | vancement. According o the speaker, al- | though the object of the council is the study of things Jewish, still the organi- aired strongly in ifornia therefore, zation is a mnon-sectarian one and non- Jewish members are as welcome as those of the Jewish faith. | After Miss American’s eloquent appeal | to the ladies it was decided to appoint | temporary officers and an advisory boari | with power to act in the matter of estab- B local council. | chosen were: Mrs. M.

The de- ceased was widely known in this city and throughout the State. On his arrival in California in 1850 he located in Columbia, County. o in Tuolumne After a few yvears he removed Stockton, where he en- with an uncle. Subse- ? the hotel business, and or several vears conducted the famous ‘Weber House in Stockton. From the ho- tel he transferred his interest anew to mining in Tuolumne County. Baliey met with great success and final- ly removed to this ecity, where he was known for years as a prominent figure in mining and stock speculation. In the days when Balley enjoyed his greatest prosperity he delighted In unostentatious acts of charity and philanthropy. He ex- pended thousands of dollars in rellef of the needy and his epitaph will be written upon the hearts of hundreds who had oc- casion to know and appreclate his kind- ness. The funeral of the dead pioneer will take place at 11 a. m. to-dag' from Missfon street, near Twenty-third. The interment will' be at the Masonic Ceme- tery.

S e Supervisors Lay Over the Matter for One Week After Reading Board of Works’ Report. -— The petition of Ann £. to Reynolds to cause be removed u certain portion of the ck of the Presidio and Ferries Railway system, which lies close to the sidewalk | in front of her premises on Union street, between Hyde and Larkin, was lald over yesterday by the Board of Supervisors for one week. The Board of Public Works reported that it would be necessary within the next few years to rebuild the cable alleyw v and roadbed of the road. retary Laton of the company informed the board that the work of reconstructing the road could not be undertzken for four years, though it might be commenced in two vears, after the bonds had been re- deemed. Attorney James Alva Watt sald that Mrs. Reynolds was not the only property yner who protested against the main- ance of the tracks outside of the cen- line of the street. He asked for a postponement, as it would be possible to obtain a practical unanimity among sur- rounding residents against the nuisance. No objection, ne throughout its length, but it was Insisted upon that this one block shall .be recon- structed to_comply with the law. It would cost but $1500 to do so, and it was unjust and unfair to the property owners, whose rights are conceded the company, to wait two or four years, or an indefinite period, to put the roadway into the con- dition 'that the law exacts. Dispute Over Rock-Crusher. The Street Committee withdrew its re- port recommending the denial of the pro- test of the West of Castro Street Improve- ment Club against the maintenance of rock-crusher at Twenty- sixth and Douglass streets. This action vas the result of an opinion of City At- Lane on the subject, in which that 1 holds that the two permits granted . J. Holmes, the predecessor of Gray thers, to operate an engine and boiler sher was not ignable to Lane holds that the per- mits were nothing more than persona privileges granted by the city, that they were revocable at its pleasure and were in no sense property, and that as they | did not run with the land they could not be bought or sold, and they were not as- signable. Attorney Ames addre: contended that the City acted on an imperfect tement of the se. The permission enjoyed by Holmes had been extended by resolution by a former Board of Supervisors to the suc- or of Holmes after the latter had been anted his permit. That fact, Ames said, had not been submitted to the City Attorney, and it was only fair that the matter should be re-referred for his fur- ther investigation. 2 The former resolution directing the Chicf of Police to cause the firm of Gray Bros. to forthwith discontinue the main- steam boiler until such time as legal permission may be acquired by them to continue the use of the same | was allowed to stand. $3000 for Native Sons’ Celebration. The resolution authorizing an expendi- ture of $3000 to be made out of the urgent necessity fund in payment to Peter G. Du Py, treasurer of the joint committee of thé Native Sons of the Golden West as the eity’'s contribution for the semi-cen- tennial celebration, was finally passed. The petition of the University Mound Improvemént Club for the opening up of the streets in that district was referred to the Street Committee, The petition recites that the Board of Public Works has not complied with the request to have the law enforced.

The City Board of Examiners passed an fmportant resolution yesterday for pre- sentation to the biennial convention of county and city Superintendents. The document touches a point which is of vital interest to every teacher, namely, the pre- sentation of a petition to the State Legis- lature to the end that certificates granted to teachers may be made permanent in the | county In which they have been granted. It is provided that before such action is taken the teacher must provide satisfac- tory proof of five years’ experience in the schools of the county in which the certi- cate was taken out. A four-fifths majority in the Board of Education is also one of the requirements called for in’connection with the granting of a life certificate, The convention will be called at San Jose to- day, and delegates will be asked to inter- est themselves in the matter. —_———— School Board Sued.

SR Superintendent Threatens to Check- mate Any Arbitrary Action of Directors by Withholding Salary Demands. e Hostilitles are on again between Super- intendent Webster and the Board of Ed- ucation. This time the board is accused of meddling with Webster's deputles, and the consequent dicturbance has caused indignation to hum around school head- quarters. It is alleged that the board wants to dismiss the Superintendent’s deputies, which latter Webster claims the board has no more right to interfere with than the School Superintendent has to dictate how affairs shaill be run in the board’s denartment. Webcter fears t.at even if the board is foiled in discharging the deputies they may even matters up by reducing their salaries. “1f the members of the board should resort to this means,” sald Webster yes- terday, “I shall be prepared to checke mate them. SIX contests nave aireauy been waged between the board and my- self, and I do not think that 1 have come out ‘second best in any of them.'” Webster calls attentlon to that section of the charter which requires the Board of Education to visit the schools and re- port the result of their visit to the Su- perintendent. This has not been complied with, he says. “I understand that the Board of Ed- ucation charges that my deputies have not visited the schools, as it is their duty to do. The charge is false.” Yet another dispute is agitating the Su- perintendent. President Mark is charged by Webster with having irregularly ap- aley othy F. Moran and Miss A. McColgan— on the substitute list last January, on which account Webster refused to sign their salary warrants. This, however, promises to end amicably. Speaking of the matter Webster said: *T believe that the appointment of these teachers was mere- Iy a misunderstanding on Mr. Mark's part. The board passed the demands regular form, circumstances 1 refused to sign the war- rants. Mr. Mark admits his mistake, and o the matter is closed.” SHOE CLERKS’ APPEAL FOR EARLY CLOSING Committees From the Association Address Various Branches of the Labor Council.
