WITH THE MERCHANTS Charges Against Quarantine Officer Kinyoun Will Be Investigated Next Tuesday. *- ke i THE QUARANTINE OFFICER WHOSE ROUGH METHODS IN THE PER- FORMANCE OF HIS DUTY AT THIS PORT ARE UNDER INVESTIGA- TION BY A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. R. J. H. WHITE, assistant to the surgeon general of the United States, who was sent to this coast to investigate the acts of Dr. Kinyoun, head of the Fed- eral quarantine station at this port, called of the Chamber of Commerce vesterday and graclously con- sented to confer with the board of trus. tees of that organization on Tuesday next As was stated in The Call vesterday, Secretary Scott called at the hotel where Dr. White was domiciled and, finding the latter absent, left his card. This courtesy on the part of the secretary had its effect. Early vesterday morning Dr. White vis- fted the rooms of the Chamber of Com- merce and Introduced himself to Mr. Scott. The visiting physician not only expressed a desire to meet the trustees asked that a day might be set, so t he might have the pleasure of their ntance. Tuesday afternoon was en- agreeable to Mr. White. As that day ber of Commerce, there will no doubt be a large number of members in attend- ance when Dr. White 1s formally pre- sented by the secretary There is no doubt that Dr. White was directed to come to this city by reason of the resolutions adopted by the Cham- oo | Ber of Commerce and forwarded to the | premises, and has also expressed his de- of the Treasury and other au- The resolutions Secretary thorities at Washington. were in part as follows et B e v Whereas, Particular attention has been called @ T0STOP SALE OF STIMULANTS Senate Committee Acts Fa- vorably on the Lodge Resolution. e WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—Favorable ac- tion was taken to-day by the Senate Com- mittee on Foreign Relations on the resolu- | tion previously Introduced by Senator Lodge declaring for laws prohibiting the sale of oplum and in- toxicating liguors to the aboriginal and uncivilized peoples of all countries and the resolution was passed by the Senate. The committee had before it petitions signed by numerous individuals and asso- clations from twenty-five - States, which were presented by the Reform Bureau That bureau has received the following letter from ex-President Harrison on the subject: Jsnuary 1, 1991—Rev.

CABINET CONSIDERS SENATE RESOLUTIONS Opposition to Making Lawshe’s Re- port on Conditions in the Cuban Postoffice. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—The Cabinet session to-day was largely devoted to the consideration of matters of minor import- ance. In view of the resolution recently introduced in the Senate calling for a copy of the report made by Mr. Lawshe, special Tepresentative of the Government in Cuba, on the fiscal affairs of the Cuban tal service, also the resolution calling or coples of orders, etc., issued to the army in the Philippines, considerable time Was given to a discussion of the rights and duties of the executive with respect o resolutions of this character .coming from one of the legisiative branches of he Government. e e inderstood that a disclosure of the facts contained in the report of Mr. Tawshe might seriously prejudice cases now pending in the courts or cases where action is contemplated. This whole mat- ter was fully gone over at the meeting to- day. The remainder of the time was given over to routine matters of the ad- ministration. ¥ FOR RESTORATION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Senator Stewart Introduces a Bill Be- for the Colorado Legis- lature.

PRESIDENT ELIOT WILL NOT RESIG Story That Wheeler Is to Succeed Him Ridiculed at Harvard. e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 4—In regard to a state- ment from San Francisco that President Eliot of Harvard University was to re- sign and that President Benjamin ‘Ide Wheeler of the University of California was to succeed him, Charles Francls Ad- ams, treasurer of Harvard U sald’ to-night to The Call rppresnely:':nrt!lx: : “There is absolvtely nothing in it. The rumor is entirely without foundation.” The officfals and Instructors at Harvard recelved a surprise to-day when they saw the story from San Francisco. Nothing | has yet Teached Harvard about the mat- ter, and every one seems to be compl y in the dark as to how it nrltlnaledAp e | Corresponding Secretary Cobb sald he thought the story absurd. and the same comment was made by Recorder Cram | and Puyblication Agent Willlams. It was thqught that possibly President Eliot's porary absence from the university might have something to do_with it. An attempt was made to see Dr. Walcott, but he was so engrossed in official business at the State House that he could not be interviewed. Several prominent Harvard alumni of that city agreed to-day in say- ing that they did not believe there was a word of truth in the report that Dr. Ellot would resign. | ADAMS cLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN MISQUOTED | Denies That He Said the Purpose of | the Oleomargarine Bill Was to | Stop Its Manufacture. | | _WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Congressman | Wadeworth of New York made a brief | statement to-day before the Senate Com- | mittee on Agriculture concerning reflec- | tions upon the minority report adopted on the oleomargarine blil in the House. At the hearing yesterday H. C. Adams, Dairy Commissioner for the State of Wisconsin, and Secretary Knlight of the National Dalry Union, stated that they were not correctly represented in that report. Mr. Adams denied that he said that the pur- pose of the pending bill is to stop the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine entirely, but Mr. Wadsworth contensed in his statement to-day that this was his language. He sald the remark had be. taken down by a member of the commit- tec when made because of its bluntness. He also sald the letter which Mr, Knight had pronounced a forgery was still in e. istence and would be produced if nece: sary. Adams relterated his dental, he had only sald that the purpose 1:?{‘1‘,: bill was to stop the manufacture and sale of cleomargarine “cclored in imitation of utter.” N Hon. John Hamiltcn, Secretary of ‘Ag- riculture of Pennsylvania, ldvncyntad A["I’Q passage of the bill, contending that the fact that the chemical analysls of oleo- margarine showing it to contain the same ingredients of butter does not render it equally palatable and healthful. He es- timated that 50 per cent of the oleomar- garine manufactured is sold as butter ana said the farmers of bl:e{m'; Ivania alone erive an income of about $18,000, from the butter sold by them. eV airy Commissioner Blackburn of Oh| said he had found it was almost lmpo:? sible to prosecute infractions of the oleo- ma ne law in the large cities of Ohio owing to the influence of the oleomar- g:en‘na dealers with the press and also use of their solicitation of jurymen. A great two-step by Eduard Strauss, the waltz king, will be given free with next Sun- day’s Call. This is a gem—do not fail to get it. L e ) CHARGES CIVIL SERVICE BOARD WITH JOBBERY Seyden Avers His Average Was Fraudulently Reduced. —_— Seeks to Enjoin Tax Collector From Recognizing Commission’s Certifi- cations and Making Appoint- ments Thereunder. P i R Fraud, favoritism and gross prejudice have been charged to Civil Service Com- missioners Freud, McCarthy and Quinn in an action flled yesterday by John F. Beyden on behalf of himself and the ma- jority of those deputies In the office of the Tax Collector who lost their positions through the enforcement of the civil ser- vice provisions of the charter. Seyden, through his attorneys, Camp- bell, Metson & Campbell, seeks to enjoin Tax Collector Scott from appointing to official positions those clerks certified by the Civil Service Comm!ssion as being eligible for appointment. He also asks that the court direct the commission to place him upon the register as eligible for appointment and prays that the civil service examination papers be examined and that all competitors be given rank according to “the true result” of the ex- amination. He further demands judg- ment directing the commission to divide the deputies to serve under the Tax Col- lector into two classes—deputy tax and deputy license clerks—that each class may be given a fair and practical examin- ation relating to the duties which will fall upon them. Seyden alleges that he has been de- frauded out of his right to appointment under civil service rules. The Civil Ser- vice Commission, he alleges, falsely and fraudulently placed his general average standing below the minimum and refuses to place his name upon the register, and that the commission, in the exercise of gross prejudice and in entire disregard of the result of the examination, placed upon the register the names of those selected by unfair means. He further al- leges that he has been informed and be- | lieves that as a result of the examination, and under a fair, true and proper mark- ing, rating and estimation of his general average that he is entitled to have his r-amedplaced upon the register and to be ranked among the first fifteen candidates aor deputyships in the Tax Collector’s of- ce. Even though Seyden's suit will have no other effect, it will place the examina- tion papers of all who endeavored to se- cure a_clerkship under civil service rule | in the hands of the court for examination. If it is found, as is alleged, that the papers were not properly marked and rated the effect will be serious. The case has been assigned to Judge Hebbard for hearing. —— . HOW CIVIL SERVICE WORKS. Health Board Assigns Eligible Food Inspector to a Clerkship. Another instance of how the civil serv- ice system works under the present Phe- lan administration is furnished by the case of John F. Derham, who passed the examination for food Inspector and yet has been assigned to the position of clerk to Health Officer O'Brien. It is but an- other example of how easy It Is to juggle with positions and hoodwink the commis- sion, which is charged with introducing the merit system into the city govern- ment. Derham, who happens to be a brother- in-law of Health Officer O'Brien, did not take the civil service examination for clerk, which was held September 15, 1900. This failure, however, does not prevent him from holding the position to the ex- clusion of two eligibles, Daniel Sullivan and W. B. Ewing. Derham_was &Y‘Doln(ed clerk last June, when J. W. Kelly resigned the place to take a European trip. Kelly 18 a cousin of Mayor Phelan, and left the impression that he would not return to this city for some time to come. It was explained in the health office that Kelly’'s absence was only temporary and Derham would give up the place on his return. Kauz, how- ever, would now be barred from the posi- tion, as he did not take the civil service examination. When the Health Board filed its month- 1y statement with the Civil Service Com- mission on_ its salary roll ham was classed as “clerk to Health Officer” from June until December, 190. In the latter month the designation of Derham’s posi- tion was changed to “food inspector.” ullar fact in this connection is that erham, as clerk, Teceived §100 per month, but now that he ranks as food inspector he 1s entitled to only $75 per month, a de- crease of $25. The Civil Service Commission holds that the assigning of Derham to the position of clerk when he is classified as a “food inspector’” is illegal and an investigation will result. The proceeding Is regarded as an injustice to the eligibles who passed the examination for health office clerks. It is also somewhat singular that the eli- gibles for the position did not file a com- plaint with the commission regarding the | irregdlarity. The reason why they did not is that they feared to incur the wrath of the Health Board. which might pre- clude them from future appointment. The Board of Public Works yvesterday appointed James . _Donahue, W. J. White, John C. Newlands and J. B. Gart- | lands from the clvil service clerks’ eligible . list. Two clerks will be appointed to-day from the fol- | lowing names certified: H. C. Far- quharson, Isaac L. _Bevans, Israel Schwartz and George M. Bowne. Three of the old staff of clerks lose their posi- tions—F. B. Duffield, W. H. Griffin and M. E. Cummings. The last named will be retained as a degg!y in the office. Tax Collector Scott yesterday appointed eleven deputies from the civil service ell- gible list as follows: Benjamin I. Salo- mon, Richard J. Curtin, Oscar L. Tuttle, Willlam 1. Reardon, George A. McCalvy, George Varcoe, Edwin B. Tripp, Edwin R. Zion, Frank Rittigstein, John A. Lena- hap and Frank R, Smith. The appointments are subject to the fil- ing and acceptance of a satlsfactory bond. Scott has submitted the first sev- enteen names on the eligible deputy list to @ surety company for investigation as to their reliability. Scott savs he will exact a bond of from all but four deputies, whose relponllhlllt‘y, he says, warrants a much higher bond.

L e e e e e S ] SLIVE DEALERS' NEW SUBTERFUCE Name aund Passport of Japan- ese Immigrant Assumed by Another. Deputy Immigration Commissioner H. H. Schell made an important discovery yes- terday with reference to the attempt made a few days ago to bribe him to al- low the landing of a comely Japanese maiden named Naks Yamaguchi. When she arrived here on January 1 on the City of Peking she presented to the immigra- tion officials a passport purporting to have been issued a‘: Yo‘!’(oohn.ma. and dited July 17. This is the date on which the Peking left Yokohama on a former trip. In explanation of the reason for the sport having been dated so far back aka said that after she recelved the passport she was taken sick and was obliged to defer her visit to this country until a later date. Captain Schell, being suspicious of the explanation, made search of the records of the office and found on the manifest of the City of Pe- king for the trip leaving Yokohama on July 17, 1900, the name of ‘“Naka Yama- guchi, aged’ 21, student.” The manifest showed that the real Naka salled from Yokohama on July 17 and arrived here on August 4, so that the conclusion was ir- resistible that Naka sent her passport back to Japan, where it was given to the second Naka, who had assumed the name for the purpose of having it fit the pass- port. She has been ordered deported. Captain Schell sald yesterday that this was the first Instance in his experience in which & passport was used more than once. BOARD OF WORKS BOWS TO SUPERVISORS’ WILL At Last Recommends Repaving of Downtown Blocks With Bi- tumen on Concrete. The long delayed recommendation of the Board of Public Works for street work on Sacramento, Clay and Washington streets, between Montgomery and San- some, was flled with the Board of Super- visors yesterday. The recommendation is in conformity with the decision of the Street Committee that the blocks named be repaved with an asphalt or bituminous rock pavement, with a binder course and a six-inch concrete foundation. The board originally recommended a basalt and cobble foundation and has been at loggerheads for two months with the Street Committee, which favored the su- perior pavement. The estimated cost of the work is $6663. The recommendation will be ratified by the Supervisors at next Monday’s meeting. City Engineer Grunsky has estimated the cost of reducing the sidewalk widths on Clement street from 19 to 15 feet and on Division street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth, from 10 to 7 feet, at about 5&)0 If assessed to the property owners the greatest charge would be $760 for a 2%-foot lot, and the average charge for a 2-foot lot would be $1 40. e STOCKMEN TO MEET IlLANNUAL SESSION Discuss Ranges and Graz- ing and the Stock Laws.

TWO PRESIDENTS LIKELY TO MEET —_—— Arrangements Being Made to Bring McKinley and Diaz Together. —_—— It Is Planned That the Two Chief Executives Greet Each Other on the International Bridge. e e Special Dispatch to The Call. EL PASO, Tex.. Jan. 4—When Prest- dent McKinley reaches El Paso in May, on his way to California, he' will in all probability be given the opportunity of shaking hands with the chlef executive of the Mexican republic across the boun- dary line that divides the United States from Mexico. A telegram received here to-day from Congressman Slayden of Texas gave the assurance that Mr. Mec- Kinley would pass through El Paso on his westward trip, and the citizens at once interested themselves in preparing a suitable reception for him. It was decided among other things that it would be ap- ropriate to invite President Diaz of Mex- co to visit the northern border of his dominions at the time to meet &nd greet the President of the United States In the center of the international bridge that spans the Rio Grande, marking the boun- dary: line between this country and Mex- ico. . In case the invitation is accepted, the ceremontal when the two chief executives of the two great republics of the world meet will be one of the most unique and imposing in the history of the continent. Mexican officlals here are confldent that President Diaz will accept the invitation. s Baltimore to Be Repaired.
