THE SAN FRANQGISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1901. GRAND JURY WORRIES OVER CLEVER SULLIVAN FORGERIES Long Night Session Results in No New Discovery,. Though Many WWitnesses Are Examined. . AGAIN ENTERS AN OBJECTION 1 Auditor Wells Declares Two . Appropriations to Be Illegal. Lt Refuses to Allow $6000 to Clean Chinatown and $2500 to Build Contagious Disease Hospital. In making an appropriation of $6000 out of the urgent necessity fund to be used by the Health Board in cleaning China- town and anbther for $2500 for the erec- tion of a hospital for contagious diseases on the grounds of the City and County Hospital the Board of Supervisors reck- oned without Auditor Wells. That offi- cial declared yesterday that he would not sign any demands on the fund named for either purpose. The ground on which Wells bases his refusal to recognize the ordinance passed by the board on the subject is that there are a number of Supreme Court decisions which hold that bills of one department cannot be pald out of another depart- ment’s appropriation. Wells says that the tax budget contains an item of $12,440 for Health Department expenses, and this alone is avallable for the very purpose for which the extra appropriation of was made. If there had been no such appropriation made the urgent necessity fund could be drawn upon. The Auditor's decision will result in stopping any work which the Health Board may have laid out to put Chinatown in a sanitary condi- tion. The Board of Public Works notified the Auditor yesterday that it had awarded the contract for building the contagious [ SEANCE of the Grand Jury was d last night upon the Sullivan Many witnesses wewp ex- d outside of theoretical of how the books of nd Warrant Clerk should be experiences of former resent attaches of the city govern- xes to grind, but little was into Sullivan’s meth- v to have taken a po- here is no doubt ¥ dmitted forger, w b d for many ad: e dragnet of the Grand have failed to gather be entailéd in its nesses examined, so far, but ined that would cast aining in Police Hall of Justice. er to the Grand under investi- i tion undertaken ‘was se of D.

TWO ARE KNOW TO BE FORGED. disease hospital to R. Sinnott for $2341. The board recuested that the Auditor set aside the sum named out of the urgent necessity fund for the payment of the work in accordance with the resolution passed by the Supervisors. Wells sent a curt reply that the urgent necessity ap- was ordered forfeited, but the entry did not pass through the books of the War- later, the day that Sullivan left the city | secretly. Among the other witnesses examined | were Chief Warrant and Bond Clerk Peery, his deputies, Burke and Fitzpat- | rick, Captain of Detectives Seymour, J. | | Kemppe, former Police Judge C. A. Low, | | and C. B. Perkins, but they added little to {the further information of the Grand | Jury. Although expected, no indictment | was found. Police Judge Conlan was a flitting visi- | tor about the halls adjacent to the jury | room and Expert Kytka had prepared a | series of photographic enlargements of Judge Conlan’s genuine and disputed sig- | natures. but neither Kytka nor Conlan was called. The-examination will be con- | tinued on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Signatures Genuine and Forged. In an exhibit filed with the Grand Jur: |last night, Expert Kytka, by means of | photographic ~ enlargements, reproduced exemplars of Judge Conlan's handwrit- ing, embracing samples of his genuine and admittedly forged signatures. Out of the | twelve ‘exemplars two are forged and the | remainder are supposed to be genuine. | Everybody has a guess at which is the | genuine and which the forged. | ~Conlan's signature varied from day to day apparently. Sullivan admits that_he | forged signatures ten and eleven, but | until Expert Kytka decided that they | were forgeries, Judge Conlan was not in la position to declare whether they were or not. As the greater portion of the amount that Sullivan is alieged and ad- mits to have obtained on forged orfiers‘ came through Judge Conlan’s court, still | other guesses are in order. | Sheriff Lackmann also has a little griev- ance against the treasury. He has a long st of debits and credits between himsels, | the Treasurer and the County Clerk, al' | of which arise from the present compli- | cated and misunderstood conditions and provisions of the charter. During the \momh of February, 1900, Yep Gee had a | credit of $8, W. F. Cavanaugh a credit of | | 518, Pauline Prescott and Ernando Hol- | 1ana credits of $6 each for time served in | the County Jail, from fines imposed in Police Court No. 2. In department No. 1, | | Sing Fat also earned a credit of $96, mak- | ing a total of $134 between the two courtx. | | Experts are now trying to wander through | the maze of charter-imposed complica- | | tion ile_the money remains in the cit | trea: It was paid in as bail money, | but on account of the charter’s book- | keeping method and red tape cannot be drawn out. Sullivan Withdrew the Bail. Another of the peculiar episodes con- nected with the Sullivan affair developed early vesterday in Judge Mogan's court. 7'C. Wilson was arrested some time ago on two charges of petty larceny. n cach charge $50 bail was exacted. Sulli- van drew this money from the treasury on forged orders. When the case was called Judge Mogan, despite the objec- tions of Wilson’s attorney, ordered the bail forfeited. The attorney protested and was informed that if there was any- thing wrong about the matter he, could present his claim for the recovery of the bail to the Board of Supervisors.. It is alleged that Wilson died in Arizona, but the police are hopeful of finding him in ‘BALLADS OF THE ROSE, SHAMROCK AND THISTLE Father McLoughlin’s Lecture on the | Music of England, Scotland | and Ireland. | Tnder the auspices of the Young Ladies’ | Institute last evening Father Thomas Mc- | Loughlin sang and talked and told stories | while he illustrated and described the dif- ferences between the ballads of England, | Scotland and Ireland. His subject was | “The Shamrock, Rose and Thistle,” and | the foundation of his lecture was three characteristic ballads from the music of each. In introducing his subject Father Me- | Loughlin described what ballad music is and how centuries ago, through its agency, Ireland was the world’s mistress of song. He spoke of the spread of the | ballad from Ireland to Scotland and then | to Wales ana England, and of the changes | it underwent from the'different character-- istics of the countries it encountered. ‘'ne baliad of the people, he said, must be good, must.be pure and must teach a high morality and the true ballad writer must | come from among the people. | With this introduction he entered upon the music of England. He sang three songs, “Hearts of Oak,” a stirring sea | song: “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,” | famiijar to all, and “’Rule Britannia.” This last song, however, he sang to words that glorified Columbia and the “Yankee” in- stead of England and her rule over the seas. The song was much applauded. - | “For the representatives of Scotland he chose *Ye Banks and Braes,” “The Land o’ the Leal” and “The Bonny Dundee,” a: pronouncedly Scotch. For the songs of Ireland he sang “And Doth Not a Meeting Like This,” “Fare- well, But Wheneves You Welcome the and “The Harp That Once Through Hall,” and then, by request, he sang “The Minstrel Boy” to conclude the programme. In the intermission between the three parts of the lecture Mrs. M. McGlade and Miss Kittie McShane sang and Miss May Stein gave a piano number. Yesterday’s proceedings in the action instituted by Horace W. Philbrook against ex-Supreme Court Justice Van R. Paterson were quiet. Most of the morr- ing and afternoon. sessions were occupled ry Philbrook’s reading of the Supreme Court record in the matter of the disba.- ment proceedings against him and the reading of e e————— ‘ Philbrook Reads Record. | i janship cases in Oakland.

UMATILLA’S CARGO ARRIVES AT SEATTL Second Northern Shipment of Califor- nia Oranges Will Be Rushed to the East. SEATTLE, April 9.—The second cific Coast Steamship line. Fruit Growers’ Association. The special train conveying the consign- ment will leave here in the morning and will take about 103 hours for the trip. The fruit is stored in the ordinary refrigerator cars, although two of the cars will be iced, by way of experiment. On the for mer occasion the fruit arrived in excel- | lent condition, the cool atmosphere of the northern route obviating all necessity for artificially lowering the temperature. The ice now being applied is solely for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether it will im- part to the fruit any merit not derived from natural means.

When the Spanish war was on he was promoted to the rank of major of voluan- teers and subsequently advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel of volunteers. Shortly after peace was proclaimed the lieutenant colonels were cut out’ and Major Long's rank in this regard van- ished. Aftet his promotion to major in the regular army he resigned as major of volunteers and. this readjustment caused the impression that he had resumed his rank as captain. His true rank, however, in the United States armv is that of ma- | jor, but the rank of lieutenant colonel having been bestowed for meritorious ser- vice he is entitled by courtesy as well as military custom to be addressed as Colonel ef Long. As he is in the_ transport service it v be correct on the water front to say “Long, may he wave as colonel.” —e———— Quicksilver Mines. While the investor's attention is now largely drawn to ‘“‘oil” vet opportuni- tles of a favorable .character in mining are not being overlooked by the shrewd investor. There has recently been per fected the organization of two companies —the. Bradford Quicksilver Mine in San Benito County and the Silver Creek Quick- silver Mine in Santa Clara County—whose prospect of successful operation is very flattering. Both of tnese mines are upon the main ledge in proven territory, are partially developed and are ready for the[ erection of expensive furnaces. To meet this expense a portion of the treasurs stock is being marketed at an extremely low figure. The companies are officerei by men of extended mining_ experience anad personal high character. H. R. Brad- ford is president and manager and James | Treadwell vice president. It is a signifi cant fact that these were the gentlemen who developed and sold the New Almaden quicksilver mines of Santa Clara County that are famous throughout the world. The office of the company is at 209 San- some street. —_————————— Policeman Brown Exonerated. The charges against Police Qfficer George W. Brown were dismissed by the Police Commission last evening. The offi- cer was accused of having been intoxi- cated and having made a false report. The witnesses all swore that he was sober, and_ there was no proof that any report made by him was false. The mattgr of closing all saloons in the neighborhood of the Presidio was again under discussion, and the Commissioners emphasized their intention of dbolishing all places where liquor is sold in that lo- cality. The license of A. L. Rehfeld, whose place was burned by soldiers, and who kept a nickel-in-the-slot machine that pald coin instead of checks, was dis- continued. — ‘Eight-Hour Labor Law in Issue. e action instituted by the firm of L.

In thelr contract it was orovided they should not work their emvloyes more than eight hours a day. When they demanded pay- ment for the work done the Harbor Com- mission withheld $1800 as a penalty, on the ground that the contractors had viclated the eight-hour law. ¥ —_— Shoots Herself Through Hand. ty th h- al n- p- s is p- al er E - efdentally shot herself through the hana last night.
