The meeting of the Board of Election Commissioners last night was enilvened by the determined but futile cpposition of a minority faction of the Citizens’ Repub- Jican party to the latter's petition to have its candidates placed upon the general ticket. The party was represented by Charles Fortes, W. 8. Scott and Alex Truman, who presented the petition, in which It was stated that a convention had been regularly heid after a postal pri- mary had becn carried out. | ‘The minority. faction was represented | by Charles Pettis and C. F. Buckley. They | alleged that their side had held a pri-| mary in which nineteen citizens partici- pated. Both sides were heard by the Commis- sloners, and after an animated discussion, in which allegations of fraud were numer- | ously made, the Commissioners decided to accept the ticket of.the regular Citi- zens' Republican party as represented by Forbes, Scott and Truman, as it had com- pHed with the law in all respects. A Lewis addressed the commission In opposition to the petition of the Soctal Democratic party, represented by Cam- eron H. King, but the latter's claim wi recognized. The ticket has also been ac- r-e'Fltd by the Secretary of State. he contract for printing 75.000 sample ballots and 75000 regular ballots was awarded to Phillips & Smyth for $364 75. jsl et Joseph T.

Brandenstein submitted an amendment requiring the company to flle an agree- ment to begin the work of restoring the pavement to its original condition on all streets where it had abandoned tracks, but it was lost. Braunhart presented an amendment, which was also lost, requir- ing the poles and appliances to be of home manufacture. He contended that the company should be compelled to com- ply with the charter and objected to the favorable report of the Public Utilitles Committee, which, he said, contained evetything in favor of the company and nothing in favor of the people. Reed said there was a general law making it oblig- atory on the company to keep the streets in proper repair. The Mayor said there | was difficuity in compelling the company { to live up to the law. Tobin said he would vote against the franchise because the wires were not to be placed under- ground and because the company had not complied with promises heretofore made. Secretary Painter of the North Central Improvement Club said that all the im- | provement clubs and merchants in the downtown districts favo the granting | of the franchises. The te on the or- dinances was as follows: Ayes—Booth, Brandenstein, Boxton, Comte, Connor, Curtis, D'Ancona, Dwyer, Fontana, Ho' taling, Jennings, McCarthy and Reed: | noes—Braunhart and Tobin. A communication from the Point Lobot Improvement Club was read, In which it | was alleged that the Richmond District | Improvement Club, which had opposed the granting of the franchises, was a de- funct organization, and that E.

The Point Lobos Club disciaims any connection with | the Richmond organization, | The recommendation of the joint Com- mittee on Judiciary and Streefs that ac- | tion on the proposed ordinance granting | the Board of Public Works additional | powers to those provided by the charter be indefinitely postponed was adopted. | The bill would have given the board abso- lute control over all street encroach- ments. The committee in its report stat- ed that the Board of Supervisors had no authority to delegate its powers to an- | other board nor had it any authority to increase the prescribed duties of any branch of the clty government. A resolution was adcgted reunlfinln; the rooms vacated in the City Hall by various departments as a result of new and better quarters will be furnished tc the Boards of Health, Public Works, Civil Service Commuissioners, Election | Commissioners, Registrar, Justices’ clerk, | Hastings’ College of the Law, City Attor- ney, Grand Army of the Republic and rand Jury.

The bill providing for the creation of a police relfef an ension fund was amended to increase the allowance there- for from moneys collected for liquor li- cepses from 5 to 7 per cent.

The attention of the Board of Works was called to the petition of the Potrero for the improvement of 1\;11;1h street, between Brannan and Di- vision. The Printing Committee was authorized to enter into a contract to furnish the Fire Department with sixty assignment books, to be pald for out of the ur%ent necessity fund. The Auditor holds that the regular stationery fund should be drawn upon for this contract and says he will refuse to sign the demands. The petition of George Roundy for the abatement of certain nuisances in the University Mound district was referred to the Boards of Health and Public Works for investigation and a report. The Board of Works was directed to furnish one steel safe at a cost of $7, one stationery case and book racks for the County Clerk's office in the Hall of Justice. The Finance Committee will meet this afternoon to hear the petition of the Point Lobos Improvement Club for the establishment of an emergency hospital in_Golden Gate Park. The assignment of a meeting place In the Hall of Justice for the Grand Jury was revoked, as that body will remain in_its present quarters at the City Hall Reed’s resolution that the sum of $200,000 excess grevenue be apportioned and set apart as a public improvement fund, to be used for no other purpose, was laid over to await the opinion of the City Attorney. The board adjourned to meet Thursday night to_take ug‘ the investigation of the Spring Valley Water Company's affairs | with a view toward fixing the water rates for the next fiscal year. THAT ATTEMPT T0 BAISE SHLARIES Mayor Persists in Ignoring Express Provision of Charter. —_— The scheme concocted by the Election Commissioners, aided and abetted by Mayor Phelan, to increase illegally the saluries of two clerks in the Registrar's office was delayed vesterday by the Board of Supervisors, some of the members ex- pressirg bitter opposition to such a palpa- ble evasion of the charter. The resolution authorizing the Board of Election Com- | missioners to employ a deputy reglistrar and a chief clerk at a compensation of | $150 per month each ‘was referred to the City Attorney for his opinion as to the legality of the proceeding. The resolution was drawn in accordance with the reccm- mendation of the Mayor, who acted with the full knowledge that the charter dces not provide for increasing the salaries of Registrar's clerks, which are fixed at $100 per month each. Supervisor Reed could see no reason to increase the salaries now that the work has fallen off in the Reglistrar's office. Supervisor Dwyer stated that the clerks in the office had worked as long as eight- een hours per day. Election Comamissioner Voorsanger made a plea for increased sal- aries for two clerks, who, he sald, are en- titled to greater compensation. These clerks are Harry Zamansky and Dennis Gordor, who are to act as deputy regis- trar_and chief clerk respectively if the scheme goes through. Reed opposed the resolution on the ground that the payment of high salaries o public officials was the cause of so lit- tle money being devoted to public im- provements and because there is no rea- son to apprepriate funds not provided for in the budget. Supervisor Brandensteln also opposed the resolution and called attention to the defects of the charter in the following lan- guage: 'm have no right, however {nadequate the charter may be, to override its ex- press provisions. It is a regrettable cir- cumstance that the charter is deficient, but we must accommodate ourselves to it_notwithstanding its shortcomings. The Mayor, who did not appear pleased at this confession, quoted the charter to prove his right to recommend additional clerks, but Supervisor McCarthy called attention to the fact that this power was subject to the limitations of the charter, which fixed the nllrg of a Reglistrar's clerk at $100 per month. Reed said theye were really no addi- tional clerks to be appointed, but the scheme simply contemplated an increase of _salaries. The Auditor’s suggestion that Gordon be appointed an inspector to serve after regular office hours and be paid therefor was not well received by his Honor, who quoted (hetggnurh:a not pen;:,m :!mih m u!usll! provision 02 charter wi permit - Stfes being Tcrensed. - e LARG TEM T0 BE T Board of Works Lowers the Photograph Gallery Es- timate. APENSE | The caustic report filed by Supervisor McCarthy last week, in which he demon- strated that the estimate of the cost of the police photograph gallery in the Hall | of Justice made by the Board of Publi Works was entirely too high, has borne | good fruit. The board recommended to the Supervisors yesterday that the com pany which made the estimate of $2525 be invited to bid for the work and if it complied with the request that it receive | the contract. This will effect a saving of nearly $1000 in the original figures of the Board of Public Works ‘'The ordinance authorizing the Board of Works to enter into the contract for thc erection of the gallery at an estimated | cost of $3500 was re-referred to the Public | Buildings Committee for action | Supervisor McCarthy had filed a report in which he recommended that the au- thorization be cut to $3000 and stated among other things that he had recelved ! an estimate of $2525 as the cost of the gal- | lery, exclusive of the steel framework, which cost $34). The Board of Public Works filed a report in answer to that of McCarthy in_which it stated that it had invited the San Francisco Fireproofing Company to perform the work for the sum named, and recommending the ac- | ceptance of the offer should be made. A lengthy report of Superintendent of Pub- lic Buildings Barnett, detalling a_history of the original contract entered into for the construction of the ?llery. was filed. Barnett accused McCarthy of animus in his strictures on the Board of Pubfic Works. — e SHOEMAKERS WALK OUT AND FACTORY CLOSES Buckingham & Hecht’s Employes Quit Work When Union Laster Is Discharged. The employes of Buckingham & Hecht's shoe factory at Twenty-sixth and Valen- cla streets have walked out and the ma- chinery was ldle yesterday. There were over 300 hands at work last week, union and non-union, the shop being known as “open.” According to the statements of Buckingham & Hecht and alse of the employes, the discharge of a man em- ploved as a laster was the cause that led to the walkout. Buckingham & Hecht fssued a state- ment yesterday in which it was set forth that “‘one of the men, a laster, who was chronically irregular in his hours of com- ing to work, was spoken to and warned by the foreman of the department a num- ber of times and was requested to be more rompt and regular in coming to work. fle paid no attention to the instructions, and in consequence was discharged last Saturday afternoon at about 1:3) o'clock. Very shortly thereafter all the men In the bottoming ard treeing departments jeft the stop.

The firm told them that they must take an oll can and squirt water into the groove.

OAKLAND,* Oct. 8.—The only sug- gestion of contest to stir a brfeze! at this year's Methodist Church South | Conference came with the closing | session this afternoon, when Fres- no's delegates, lay and min!sterial alded by other strong San Joaquin representatives, opened a fight to have the conference of 1901 held at the Raisin City. Oakland was too strong for the country delegations, though, and was again selected by a two-to-one vote as the conference city. It was a good na- tured struggle, the chief argument on the Fresno side being the desire to give the church in the San Joaquin district an op- portunity to attend the annual conference without the long and expensive trip to the bay. In token of their appreclation of the work of Bishop W. W. Duncan of North Carolina, who presided, the conference adopted resolutions requesting the Bishop | to conduct the annual and the district conferences next year. Bishop Dunean expressed his appreciation of ‘the request he conference decided that om October 28 collections for the benefit of the Meth- odist sufferers by the Texas floods shall be taken in all of the churches of the conference. i Bishop Duncan announced durln% tlhe uke morning session that Washington a philanthropist of note, had glven a se ond $100,000 toward the Trinity College of | North Carolina. a famous Methodist the- ological institution. | It was reported to the conference that the members of the church in Berkeley were moving to establish themselves on | an independent footing.

CRACK STABLES HEADED THIS WAY Prince Poniatowski Is En- thusiastic Over the Outlook. e Prince Andre Poniatowskl, organizer of the new San Francisco Jockey Club, ar- rived from the East on Friday night last, after a somewhat protracted visit in the interest of the association over which he | will preside. The Prince received assur- ances from many prominent Eastern own- ers, among them James R. Keene, Plerre Lorillard and W. C. Whitney, that they would in all probability ship strings to California. He thinks the prospect for the | coming season the brightest tory of the sport this side of the Rockies. | Local race-goers may also have the pleasure of seeing the colors of Mr, Feath- erstone of Chicago carried to the post, as the owner of Mesmerist stated that he would send a select stable this way in charge of Julius Bauer, the noted trainer. It has already been published that such well known horsemen as Sam Hildreth, Pat Dunne, Barney Schreiber and Albert Simons will be represented by some choice bits of thoroughbred horse flesh. As steeplechase and hurdle racing will be strongly featured by the Tanforan As- sociation, the public may exrect to see a revival of :ufs exciting but uncertain ga: So, too, will events for hunters re- celve consideration from the programmer. J. W. Colts, an enthusiast at the timber- topping sport, told Prince Poniatowski he would ship over the crack “leppers’ Ben Eder and Dr. Catlett, while W. C. Whit- ney will send game old The Bachelor. A number of Canadian horses may al=o par- ticipate. Although Tanforan Park is without a steeplechase course, grourd will be broken for one to-day. No hurdle events will be less than one mile and a half, while races through the field will vary from two to three miles. The course wil | be a stiff one, a “Liverpool” with 2 stone | fence four feet high and sixty fect wide, | with wings on each side, being down for | construction. The water jump will be | placed nearly opposite the grand stand. Some valuable stakes to be offered are | exrected to attract the select of the Jump- | g brigade. To accomriodate the expected rush ten new stables will be erected, each to con- | tain forty stalls. Tanforan will then be | able to house over 700 horses and training | over Ingleside track will soon become a | thing of the past. The new jockey club's projector also said it had been decided to | build another paddock 30x200 feet on a | difterent scale from others in vogue. The new ore will be open, with walks which will permit of ladies promenading and | scanming the starters.
