But the latter care- | fully censored the report before it was judicially submitted to him. Only twelve members of the jury were presenl when the report was presented.

Three features are embodied in the re- | port that are of public interest. One is the recommendation that a new County | Jail be erected between Brenham place, Washington, C and Dupont streets.

VINCENT’S COMMENCETIENT r - WILL BE A GRAND JUBILEE Sisters of Charity Will Celebrate Half Century of Work in This City in Connection With School Exercises in the Grand Opera House When T. VINCENT'S school, conducted by the Sisters of Charity, and at- tached to St. Patrick’s parish, will hoid its annual commence- ment this year on June 7 at 2:30 p. m., at the Grand Opera House. Apart from the ordinary importance attached to a coem- mencement, the event this year is one of surpassing interest to the sisters and students of St. Vincent’s, not to mention their many thousands of friends, who are now and have been members of St. Pat- rick’s parish. The affair will be con- ducted this year on a scale of great mag- nificence. Both priests and laity are working energetically to make this com- mencement a memorable one in the his- tory of parochial education. The Sistars of Charity will celebrate on this occasion the golden jubilee of their coming to this city. These good sisters have rounded out nearly a half century of work here, for they are the pioneer workers in the field of parochial educa- tion. Theirs was the first parochial school in San Francisco. Their first school was opened in an old building on the present site of the Paldce Hotel. From the Palace Hotel site they were, in 1873, compelled, owing to rapld increase an Elaborate Programme Will Be Rendered Ol 3 the ambition of Archbishop Riordan, as- sisted by Father Cummins, to build in the near future a school structure suffi- clently large to meet all demands. The forthcoming commencement exer- cises will be attended by many prominent members of the church and of soclety, including Archbishop Riordan. A special programme will be presented. Choice se- lections of vocal and instrumental music will be given, and the young students will have a place in the programme, as well as the older ones. The boys will be seen in novel drills, the students being suit- T8, PoPPY_ LAND - - SOME OF THE CHILDREN WHO WILL TAKE PART IN THE COM- MENCEMENT OF ST.

The early Catholic settlers were not slow to recognize their fitness for their work. In the fifty years of work in this city, the sisters have accomplished one of their dgarest wishes, and the orphans’ home in South San Francisco is a monu- ment to their untiring efforts. The pres- ent building of St. Vincent's school is far too small to meet requirements and it is ably attired. The youn% ladies will take part in a “lily drill.” ressed in grace- ful Grecian robes, the young ladies will execute difficult evolutions to the accom- paniment of vocal numbers. A novel play, entitled “Dottie’s Dream,” will be given by the juvenile members of the girls’ classes, and the big stage of the Grand Opera House promises to be a ver- itable fairyland. The Tivoli orchestra has been engaged for the occasion. The .exercises will be- gin at 2:30 p. m. .

Denman alleges that there is mo authority for the payment of sal- aries to these deputies, and says he con- siders the allowance of the same to them g serfous attack upon the charter.” On the other hand, it is stated that Denman is actuated by personal motives. In any event the other members of the board refuse to join Denman in his suit and hold hat the deputles are necessary for the proper conduct of the department over which they preside. Concerning the stoppage of the Deputy fund, Denman says: ught this action, first, because I be- He‘v:‘lrolhgc allowance of the demands of these a serfous attack on the charter. It amounts to nothing more or less than incorporating into that instrument a State statute, which the recent civil service cases show to be clearly unconstitutional, and then attempting fo spend the school funds under such ques- e rity. e hecauce even if the demands should ultimately be upheld by the court, I desire to protect the record of the administration from the accusation of rushing to pay $600 per month out of the school fund before obtaining the 'opinion of the City Attorney upon de- mands which have been declared {llegal by fWo attorneys for the board, one of them be- ing President Kincald's special counsel, Pro- fessor Hengtzler of the Hastings Law School. However justifiable may be the Board's per- sona¥ sympathy with the deputy superintend- .nts, it certainly has no right to spend the public moneys in the face of every attorney's opinion it has recelved before hearing from City Attorney Lane.

We're the first class of the century. First in work and first in fun. Hooray for the class of naughty one. Rah! Rah! Rah! Rip! Rip! Rip! *01, *01. Zip! Zip! Zip! Yesterday the graduating class of the Girls' High School told their teachers | just what they thought of them. This | presentation cf frank opinions the girls called a high jinks. The teachers en-| Jjoyed it as much as the pupils, and after the instructors had been made to see! themselves as their scholars see them re- freshments were served and there was music and dancing. Sharp at the hour of noon the faculty of the Girls’ High School became the guests | of the girls whose school days are now over. Miss Jennie Comings made a reat little address of welcome. Then the girls sang their class song, which went with a droning chorus of “Glory Hallelujah.” | Miss Alice Conlin recited and Miss Martha Spencer delivered the valedictory. | After the splendid address all formality | was laid aside and the jinks in good earnest was begun. The first surprise was sprung when Miss Lois Kohn invited the facuity to show | their palms and have the secrets of their lives laid bare. Teacher after teacher went humbly to the torture chair. Miss Burns, Miss' Katherine Black and Miss | Kohn told them of their many gualities | and few faults, graciously throwing in a | few sage asides that made the girls laugh and the teacher wish the reading was not quite so frank. | ‘“This line shows me,” said Miss Kohn, as she carefully scanned the palms of Mrs. Mary Prag; “this line shows me | that when you were young you were much inclined to flirt, but with years creeping on you became decidedly averse to flirtation.” Mrs. Prag organized the | Anti-Flirtation League of the Girls' High School, and Miss Kohn's dig at it was re- celved with ringing cheers. 1 After the palmisiry diversion came the | pligrimage of farewells. In the science | hall Miss Medora Block made the speech | of farewell. Miss Lois Kohn said good- | by to the classics, Miss Vira Gill bade farewell to mathematics, Miss Alice Baer | took leave of history, Miss Annie Fisher | made the adieux to English and Miss | Alice Boobar spoke the farewell to draw- | ing. All of the farewell speeches were | pointed and clever. They abounded with | a spirit of fun, a touch of sarcasm and a | deep note of regret for the teachers and the school the girls were about to leave. Luncheon followed the pilgrimage. Dur- ing the service of a dainty menu there Was @ programme of music and sone, in which Miss Leila Samuels, Miss Jessie Burns, Miss Katherine Black and Miss | Ethel Lindstone took part. The class stood up and repeated the class pledge, oined hands and sang *Auld Lang yne.” The very successful affair was | all the work of the girls of the graduat- | ing class. By subscription they ralsed the money that pald for the luncheon and decorations. Miss Alice Boobar, one of thelr members, painted the dainty name ards. A pretty feature of the afternoon was | the gratitude of the young ladies to Miss | Katherine Black, their teacher, which took the form of a heart-shaped brooch set in pearls, the souvenir of a | loving. appreciative class to a worthy | e Followt e following young ladies had charge | of the affair: = Class. officers—President, | Miss Jennie A.

Out of work, drunk and despondent, Frank Roubolt, a riveter, after failing in an attempt to kill his wife, sent a bullet into his brain vesterday and ended his ex- | istence. | Roubolt and his wife lived at 325 Jessie street. He had been employed as a riveter | at the Union Iron Works. He had been | drinking heavily and became very down- | cast. He attempted to shoot his wife last | Thursday, but the plucky woman grappled | with him and took the pistol away. She then went to the Hall of Justice to pro- cure a warrant for his arrest, but it being a holiday she was unable to secure one. She left home yesterday for the purpose of baving him arrested and when she re- turned to the house he was dead. _— Boy Kept in Prison All Night.

His father is a patient in | the City and County Hospital and his | mother is a paralytic, the family being | supperted by an elder brother, who is a peddler. Harry Esenhauer, another boy, was ar- rested at the same time, but he was re- ieased on bail.
