SIERRR FORESTS BEING DENUDED Selling of the Giant Trees in the Goverment Park. From the San Joaquin Valley an em- phatic protest has again come against the destruction of the forests crowning the high Sierras. This latest protest was caused by the shipment of some 40,000 shakes cut within the confines of the Yosemite National Park, and which were shipped to a lumber dealer in the city of Merced. Recognizing the importance of the big trees on the sidés of the Sierras, the California Water and Forest Assoclation was organized for the purpose of preserv- ing the natural sources of water supply. Bells governing these points were passed by both houses of the last Legislature, but Governor Gage saw fit to veto them and this has probably caused the owners of land within the confines of the Yosem-, ite National Park to become bolder. in their operations. & In a recent issue of the Merced Star attention is called editorially to the ship- ment and a note of alarm is sounded, urging immediate action by the coming Congress 1o prevent the wholesale de- struction of these virgin forests. The Star has the following to say: Hold Patents to Land. “There are several parties within the Yosemite National Park who are cutting timber and making it-into shakes, which they are delivering to our local lumber yards. In the last three weeks about 40,- 00 shakes have been brought here. The Government, when it set apart the park, declared that the big sugar pine and fir trees were intended to protect the snow, £0 that when those-on the plains who were near the rivers and. i tion districts would have water during the warm months. N this fine timber have Government patents to the land, notwithstanding it is within the National Park. We think that those who hold patents should look to their rep- resentatives in Congress for relfef, and they should be paid by the Government for the land for which they hold patents No doubt those who are cutting | and on which they have had to pay taxes to the counties the land is in, without any other privileges.” “In the popular mind,” said Charles G. Clinch of the State Yosemite Valley Commission, “some confusion exists as to the control exercised over the valley and the land adjacent thereto. We have control of the valley proper, while the United States Government has control of the national park, immediately sur- rounding the valley. Before the Govern- ment.acquired conirol of the park a num- ber of people had taken up land there and proceeded to make use of it as best they could. Congress Must Be Locked To. “Some of the sections were offered to the Government for sale, but so far as we know have not been taken back. Some of the land is inaccessible, but the owners are compelled to pay taxes on it. I suppose it is from some section ac- cessible to a wagon road that this tim- ber was brought. In most cases, how- ever, the removal of timber is not per- mitted by the Government. Our orders regarding this cutting of timber are very strict, as far as our jurisdiction in the valley extends, and we would gladly co- operate in any way with the Government for a further preservation of the ad- jacent timber. It is not alone a matter that interests the people of Merced, but all the inhabitants of the great plains of the San Joaquin Valley are dependent upon the preservation of these trees for their supply of water for irrigation and domestic purposes.” ““This property from which these shakes were cut,” said Secretary J. J. Lermen, “are located about thirteen miles from the valley. The land has been patented by its owners, and while they are no doubt within their rights in cutting the timber thereon, we hope for the geod of the State that Congress will take some action preventing any further destruction of these forests.” A military patrol is maintained during the summer season in the Yosemite Na- tional Park to prevent depredations and timber cutting. But the jurisdiction of the military does not extend over the sec- tions on which patents have been issued. Efforts will be made by the Sferra Club, the California Water and Forest Asso- claticn and the Yosemite Commissioners to prevent any further destruction of the 1%7“5 in the immediate vicifity of the valley. Got Goods by False Pretepul. Harry Clark, an agent, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him Bith obtaining oods by false pretenses, The complaining witness is S. G. Mish of Meyer, Mish & Co., who alleges that on May 10 Clark, by means of a forged grder purporting to be signed by the Hicks-Judd Company, got from the firm five gross of playing cards valued at $1%, which he sold to the Sunset Bazaar on Sixth street, near Market. SUPPLEMENTARY BOOKS: LAGKING Superintendent Webster Deems Appropria- tion Insufficient. —_—— Superintendent of Schools Webster and his deputy, D. J. Sullivan, conferred yes- terday regarding the purchase of supple- mentary books to be used in the public schools in conjunction with the regular text books. Webster made application for $4000 worth of the supplementary books, based on the number of children attending schools, which is provided for by the Political Code. Dirzctor Denman objected to allowing so much money, and the bcard finally compromised on a reso- lution appropriating $2000 for the purpose. At Webster's earnest solicitation the board allowed an additional $500, or $2500 in all. Webster says that this sum is $1500 short of the amount required by law and fs far below the actual needs of the schools. The books as decided upon_ by Superintendent Webster and Deputy Sul- livan follow: One hundred ‘At Home,” by Badlam: 2 Cyr's Primers. 25 Baldwin's Primers, 25 ner's Primers, 25 Wooster Primers, 100 Cyr's First Readers, 125 Stickney’s Primers, 50 Child Life (Blaisdell), 75 Bass' Beginners' Readers, 5 Baldwin's First Readers, 251 Fairy Stories and Fables (Baldwin), 150 Stories for Children (Lane), 75 Stories of Red Children (Brook), 45 Nature Stories (Bass). 50 Hiawatha Prim- ers’ (Holbrook), 75 Baldwin Second Readers, 155 Old Time Storles (Smyth), 175 Fable and Folk Lore (Scudder), 150 Cyr's Second Read- ers, 23 Storfes of Great America for Little Americans (Eggleston), 150 Robinson Crusoe (McMurray). 100 Four True Stories of Life and Aaventure (Smyth), 50 Storles of Washington (Smyth), 175 Stories of Great Men, 100 “‘Hia- watha the Indian” (Booker), 105 Stories of Colonial Children (Pratt), 201 Old Greek Sto- ries (Baldwin), 2_“Docus the Indian Boy (Snedden).

MUST FACE SERIOUS CHARGES. Miss McKinney of the John Swett School, Accused of Incompetency. The teacher agalnst whom charges have been filed with the Board of Education by John Lyser, principal of the John Swett Grammar School, is Miss Mary C. McKirney. She is charged with general incompetency and unfitness for teaching, and the charges will be investigated by Superintendent Webster. Miss McKinney has been transferred no less than eight times in the last six years, and the prin- cipals who recommended her transfer say that it was for incompetency. One of the members of the board, who does not wish his name known, says that there are at least twelve other teachers Wwho are incapable of fulfilling their duties and that it is almost certain that they will be dismissed after a hearing. The trial of Miss Dwyer, accused of having a bad temper, will begin before the board on Tuesday morning. The date of the oral examination for gp})]!clnts for teachers’ positions _will be eld on September 14 Instead of Septem- ber 13, as heretofore announced. The board has distributed its rules for the conduct of the examinations for elect- ing new teachers in the department. The rules do not differ in any essentiak par- ticular with those aiready published when the plan was adopted. —_— Sailors Recover Wages. Several libel suits for sailors’ wages were passed upon by United States Dis- trict Judge de Haven yesterday. The suit of Manuel Gonzales against the steamer Oregonian for $201 99 wages was dismissed. In the case of Henry Lanman and A. Vander Keemel against the Oregonian for wages Judge de Haven remarked that there was no justification for the mate placing the libelants in irons, and that because of -this treatment they had a right to leave the steamer on arriving at San Francisco. A decree was entered in favor of Keemel for $51 86 wages and Lan- man for $60 03 wages. —————— Music in the Park. The Park Band will render the following this afternoon: r. Greene.

The trustees of the Mercantile Library have decided that the usefulness of the establishment for which they are respon- sible depends upon its being brought into more immediate contact with the busi- ness life of the city. With this end in view they have decided to rent or sell the building on the corner of Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues and to remove the library to a central, downtown lpca- tion. % Arrangements have been completed for the removatand a lease has been signed for the premises adjoining Sherman & Clay’'s Hall at 223 Sutter street. The transfer of the books to the new loca- tion will commence at once and the trus- tees expect to be settled in their new home within a couple of months. The entire upper part of the present building has been rented and there are a number of applicants for- space now occupied by the library proper. While the trustees are willing enough to rent for the present they are more than anxious to dispose outright of what has :ee very much of an elephant on their ands. ; The property is heavily mortgaged and the intercst is a burden on the library income. = The indebtedness at present amounts to $82,000. This is covered by mortgage to the Hibernia Savings Bank. A renewal of this mortgage for one year at 6 per cent was yesterday placed_on record. The trustees estimate the Van Ness avenue property to be worth $40,000 over and above the mortgage indebted- ness. Until this property is sold no at- tempt will be made to purchase another location.- " Trustee L. H. Bonestell, speaking of the new move yesterday, expressed ;ge opinion that it ought to have been made long ago. “In fact,” he said, “6bur be- ing where we are at all is a crime. For an ordinary business location, for pri- vat2 residence or hotel Eurpcm the cor- ner of Van Ness and Golden Gate ave- nues is all right, but for a library site it has not a single advantage to recommend The library’s new quarters on Sutter street will be fitted up_ attractively and every effort will be made to restore that opularity to which the trustees believe Eon Francisco's veteran library is en- titled. Cheerful waiting rooms, equipped with every convenience, will be at the disposal of members. Special {nducements will be offered to lady members in the form of a lounging-room, where they can rest in the intervals of a shopping campaign, re- fresh themselves with soap and water and untie the tangles in which the trade winds may have twisted their bangs. “We will get life into the old ship,” say the trustees. ‘“We will clear her decks of debt, remodel her on up to date lines and with a good slant of the wind of popular approval and support will sail her to her proper place at the head of the library fieet.” There is probably no other institution in San Francisco so closely assoclated with the early history of the city. The Mercantlle Library was started in 1852 in the days when the saloon was the only gubuc resort of a social nature, the gam- llnf table che only recognized pastime for lelsure hours and news of the outside world an event of infrequent occurrence. Irvipg M. Scott, although not an original trustee, was one of the prime movers in the library movement. Rooms were engaged in the California Exchange building at the corner of Cla; and Kearny streets. These quarters suf- ficed until 1865, when with $22,000 on hand the trustees purchased the lot on Bush street where the telephone company’s main office now stands. They borrowed $100,000 and when the building was com- leted found themselves comfortably oused but altogether unable to meet their- Interest obligations.

A lottery was suggested. It's against the law,” was the cry. “Let’s change the law,” was the an- swer. And change the law they did. In 1870 Governor Haight signed a bill authorizing the lottery scheme. The lottery was a success. The proceeds paid all outstand- foi debt and laft '« falance om hand of Debts soon accumulated again, however, and the burden had grown almost beyond their power to carry, when the trustees a few years ago sold their down town prop- erty and built on the site they are now leaving. The present trustees are going to make another fight for it and are particularly sanguine. Trustee L. H. Bonestell said yesterday that all idea of combining with the Mechanics' Institute has been given up. “They wanted to take over our li- brary,” he said, “and give us absolutely no recognition in return, not even to the PIGKET PIERGES ELLIOTT'S HEART Carpenter Meets With Fatal Accidenfl; at His Home. Thomas Elliott, a carpenter, 58 years of age, fell from the roof of his residence at Polk and Chestnut streets yesterday and was instantly killed. He struck on a fence and a picket was driven into bis body and through his heart. Elliott was making repairs on his house and having finished his day’s labors pre- pared to descend to the ground. The top step of the ladder broke under his weight and he lost his hold and pitched face for- ward, striking on a picket fence about twenty feet below. One of the pickets penetrated his heart. A section of the ‘wood remained in his body. ‘When people who witnessed the accident reached the unfortunate man he was dead. His body was removed to the Mor Beputies Fennell and Fiynn, o o0e o Threatens His Wife’s Life. S Charles Spohn, an ex-saloonkeeper who lives at 525 Turk street, was arrested yes- terday on a warrant fromJudge Cabaniss’ court charging him with threats against life. The complaining witness is his wite, Laura, who alleges that he has on sev- eral occasions threatened to take her life and last Thursday he chased her from room to room in their residence to kill her. She escaped and took refuge in the house of a friend, where she has been living since. Spohn denies the charge and says it is all cavsed by his wife's former husband, who wants to get her back. She was a divorced woman when he married her three years ago. @ i e @ extent of associating our name with theirs.
