The battle over the constitu- tionality of the bill will be waged with Tax Collector Scott on the one side and xktlxe Civil Service Commission, fortified by Civil Service Comm® E: that, acting under the advice of his at- torney, he would refuse to accept the fourteén deputies certified by the com- mission. Late Saturday night Scott seat | a messenger with his ultimatum and an | elaborate opinion written by his political adviser, Abe Ruef, to the rooms of the | Civil Service Commission. It being long after business hours, the messenger, Wao had received his orders, shoved the com munications under_the door, where th | were found yesterday morning by Secre- | tary Moran.” The ooinion advised Scott not to remove his present deputies, being based mainly on the prospective signing | by the Governor of the Tyrrell bill. | “The attention of Mavcr Phelan was di- rected by the Civil Service Board to Scott’s attitude, and his Honor immediate- ly submitted the question to his attorneys to determine whether he Lias the power of suspending Scott for vioiating the charter and of finally removing him from offics, with the aid of, fourteen Supervisors. Scott laughs at this threat and will take refuge behind the provisions of the Tyrrell bill, which was signed. yesterday. Even with that factor out of the way Scott says it will be a difficult matter to get fourteea | Supervisors to support the Mayor, snould he attempt impeachment proceedings. Mayor Phelan Is Angry. Mayor Phelan is -wroth at what he terms the questionable tactics employed by Scott in evading the plain provisions of the charter regarding the merit system. The Mayor hes issued the following statement: I regret that the Governor did mot see fit to veto the Tyrrell bill. It is an attempt on the part of the Legislature to give a false In- to the constitution,” but the Su- terpretation preme Court will put its own' interpretation | upon the constitution. The constitution for- | X bids any for office except the oath to support the comstitution of the nation and State, and the Legislature by this bill seeks to prevent a municipality, through its char- from requiring the test of fitness to be determined by examinations, practical, public and free. Nothing could be more absurd. The bill also attempts to confer on courts the power to enjoin the Mayor from any ac- tion, conferred upon him by the charter, to remove offic! who are appointed by him, or to suspend cted officlals to be tried by the Board of Supervisors, if the cause alleged be the violation of the civil service provisions f the charter. The clvil service provisions of the charter are as much a part of it as the provisions requiring all fees, for instance, to be paid into | the treasury. If an officer pockets the fees, | he should be removed. If he fills his office with ‘“‘heelers’” and ‘‘ward strikers,” without | respect to the charter, which says only com- | petent persons, who have passed the examina- tlon, can be appointed, he should be suspended | or_removed. | Our attorneys advise, however, that in view | of the fact that the Supreme Court is now | considering two civil service cases which in- | volve the competency of the charter to estab- | ligh the ecivil service system, the speedicst way of determining:the valldity of the Tyrrell bill which the Governor signed to-day would be to sue out a writ of mandate In the Su- preme Court, compelling the Tax Collector to appoint_the deputies certified to him, and for Wwhich he made requisition, This course will probably be pursued, and the Supreme Court will then be in a positjon to decide the whole Question in a short time. Severely Arraigns Scott. 1 will not say now what course I will pur- sue with respect to the suspension of the Tax Collector, until 1 can get further advice from counsel. ' T have no desire to complicate the legal questions, and if counsel advises tha writ of mandate is alone sufficient 1 will act ter, upon his advice. 5 City Attorney Lane, Garret McEnerney and D. C. Murphy are the city’s advisers in these mgtters. 1 desire to say that Tax Collector Scott has acted in absolute bad faith, and that he h: violated the pledges that he has given to ti required him to support the “in letter and spirit.”” He has acted as a traitor to the charter, and should be so remembered by the people. This is harsh language to use toward a col- league in the city government, but I am per- fectly famillar with the facts, and I ®know that this criticism is not undeserved. He un- qualifiedly promised me and the Civil Service Commissioners, before taking his vacation, that he would appoint fourteen civil service deputies. He left without doing o, and now refuses to do so. We have done everything to Introduce the civil service with as little friction as possi- ble, and nothing but the strong hand of the law can compel such a man to do his duty, to respect his pledges and to keep his word. 1 believe that the law will be epsedily vindi- cate Will Ask Writ of Mandate. A writ of mandate will be demanded by the Civil Service Commissioners to-day asking that Tax Collecior Scott shall ac- cept the deputies certified to him by the commission. This was determinéd upon at a meeting held last n,l?rht, at which were present Secretary Fay and Mayer Phelan, and Commissiciners Freud, Quian and, McCarthy. Not_fo be outdone by his chief, Chalr- man Freud also issued a long statement of the causes.of grievance against Scot:. He reiterated, in a large measure, tha arguments advanced by Mayor Phelan. It was technical in character, dwelling main- 1y upon the legal conatruction piaced upon various sections by .the. Supreme Court, and, as a brief, decided that the Tyrrell act was unconstitutional. In the bitter controversy which has been waged against the civ'l service system by varjous city officials, the name of Auditor ‘Wells has been frequently mentioned. it was who, months ago, declared that he would resent any intcrference 4n the ad- ministration of the affairs of his office by the Civil Service Commission.

Levy did not carry out the intentions of Mr. Ecott, IN the latter did really intend to place the men in office, which The letter of Mr. Ruef does not present the facts in this case, and he carefully avolds dis- cussing the law of the charter. He omits to state that on January 3 three men were cer- tified to Mr. Scott, and on January 4 seven more men were certificd. The intimation that the appointment of the civil service men in the Tax Collector's office would cause confusion arising from the inexperience of the oppointees is gratultous. Every man upon the eligible list of deputies is fully competent to perform any of the duties attaching to such position in the Tax Collector's office. Ths statement that if Mr. Scott should now dischirge his present deputles it would be necessary to ask the Civil Service Commission for new certification not well founded, ‘ause Mr. Scott knows that the list from which the certifications were made is restrieted to denuties .In his office alone, and that as no appointments have been made, the list is unchanged, and.that the same men would be certified to him and in the same order as they were originally. —_——— GAGE SIGNS TYRRELL'S BILL. SACRAMENTO, March 25.—Governor Gage has signed Senator Tyrrell's bill nul- lifying the civil service provision of the new charter of San Francisco. The bill was filed with the Secretary of State this afternoon. A ‘singular circumstance is that it shows that the Governor's signa- ture was attached to it on Saturday last, that being the date of his approval. The bill, therefore, was kept until to-day be- fore his action was made public. The Governor has sighed other measures Wwhich have not yet been filed nor made ublic, and it is believed that these wi %:ent %0 the Secretary of State ‘D-n:tv)l!} Senate bill 569 (the Tyrrell bill) ostensible object of “carryin; lnt’otoernte:: section 3 of art| section 3 of ‘article XXII of the State The Governor also filed a bill signed on Saturday known as se:};ltcehb?l‘i 131, providing for a change in the boun- tdllesry between Butte and Plumas coun- CHARMED WITH CALIFORNIA.

IR S R Complications in the Labor Situation May Change Present Inten- tions and Trouble May Follow. —_——— = The question of strike or no strike among the machinists will be settled be- fore May 20, at which time a nine-hour day will be inaugurated in all the shops belonging to the National Metal Trades Assoclation. It is still a debatable mat- ter, however, as to whether or not those shops not of the association will be asked to follow, and what shall be done in case they refuse. The situation in San Fran- cisco is one which deals with shops not members of the association, for there are none of those west of Denver. According to R. I. Wisler, secretary ot the local branch of the International As- sociation of Machinists, the course of the local machinists has not yet been decided upon. ‘Phe nine-hour day to be inaugu- rated on May 2 is the result of an agre=- ment entered into by the Metal Trades Assoclation, an organization of employers, and the Machinists' International Unfon. The agreement was made May 18, 3 and its terms provided for a day of nin2 hours and a half to be inaugurated six months after the date of the agreemen, and a nine-hour day to be inaugurated one year after the agreement. To make the nine-hour day start on a Monday the date has been put forward from the 18th to the 20th, and on that date all shops in the country which entered into the agree- ment will inaugurate the nine-hour day. The question what to do about the out- side shops has consequently risen to be an important one. It is belleved to be a proper time to attempt to make the nine- our day universal and that is the ques- tion now under consideration by the local machinists. There is no increase of pay asked except the incréase which will fol- low the reduction of the hours of work without a corresponding reduction in wages. Mr. Wisler denies that there has been any serious talk of a strike, but ha admits that intervening labor complica- tions may change the aspect of the situa- tion and. the machinists may have, to “change thefr plans.” any case it is certain that somie effort to have the biz shops here join in the nine-hour conces- sion will be ‘made. There is trouble among the machimsts of Honclulu as well as here, as is testified to by the hurried trip of J. A. Kennedy of the Honolulu Iron Works to this city in search of non-union men to take the places of thcse who have walked out of his shops. They want shorter hours there as well as in the United Staes, and in default of them, have struck. There Is not much chance that Mr. Kennedy's quest will be particularly successful for thére are not many machinists idle here, and besides they are on the verge of solving the same question for themselves in this section of the country. Th> Shipfitters’ Strike. | _ The trouble between the Union Iron Works and its shipfitters is tending toward a compromise, for hours and wages are not concerned in the state- ment of grievances. It is a question of apprenticeship and skilled hands, and if a proper conference can be arranged it is believed the strike can be declared off in short order. 'There is a fear, however, that if the strike be not settied within a short time other trades, kindred to the | shipfitters, such as the rivelers, heaters, drivers and others will be affected, and that the situation will become serious. The union of shipfitters does not belong to the local federation_.of trades, so that in any event it is not likely to affect the eneral labor situation, but it will serious- y interfere with the Government con- Seth if it be not settled without much elay. The capacity of Laurel Hall, Shlels‘ building; was taxed to its' extent last night by the members of the Barbers’ Unlon. Twenty-elght journeymen pre- sented themselves for initiation. This lot brings the San Francisco membership up to just 1;‘)?0, with several more appli- e cations on WOMAN FEARS ATTORNEY COZZENS WILL SLAY HER Warrant Out for Arrest for Threatening to: Miss Celia Park. Miss Celia Park, 28% Clay street, swore to a complaint in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday afterncon for the arrest of George E. Cozzens, an attorney, on the charge of threats to kill. She said she had lived with Cozzens in San Jose and this city for over two years, but left him some weeks ago. About a month ago he met her, and showing her a revolver threatened to kill her if she did not return to him. Ehe refused, but he did not carry.| out his threat. On Sunday, March 17, Cozzens saw her walking with another man, and a few days later she received a letter from him, in ‘which he warned her to ‘“beware.” He wrote: “This is my last warning. If I see you again with another man, as I did last Sunday, you know what 1 will do, You can’t live in this State with another man as long as I am alive. All the Swedes in the world can’t help you when I once get started in eatnest.” Miss Park says he also wrote a letter to his motber in San Jose, in which he sald. he would kill the girl. WOMAN GIVES BATTLE TO OFFICER HAMMILL After Roughly Hnnd?h:g Him She Destroys the Goods He Szeks . to Recover. Mrs. H. Herfey yesterday caused a search warrant to be issued for twentys three yards of silk, which- she cldimed was being unlawfully beld by Mrs. Ly- man, who lives at Market street. The ‘warrant was placed in the hands of Detective Hammill to serve, and when he visited the place and announced his business, the woman s to throw him down stairs. After a hard battle he mana to enter her room and found the silk. As he took possession of it Mrs. %yman grabbed it and tore it with her eeth. Hammill finally secured the silk and took it to police headquarte: —_—————— Phillips Badly Disfigured. s The preliminary examination of Robert Phillips, an ex-convict, on the charge of robbety was commenced before Judge Fritz yesterday.
