Con- | lan cared naught yesterday after- noon about emulating the hero- | ism of the boy who stood on the burning | | deck. | The two legal gentlemen were greatly | in need of the services and administra- | tions of tonsorial artists. Shortly after | | noon they repaired to the Occidental Ho- tel tonsorial parlors, located on the Bush | street side of that caravansary. Whether the heat of the political de- bate, in which the legal men of diverse political faiths indulged while the knights of the razor were lathering them in the most approved fashion of the State Board of Examinérs caused the confla- gration in the drying-room is a question. Fire Marshal Towe is investigating the matter, for the drying-room, which caused the scare and the clanging of fire WILL GONGTRUCT SUNGET SEWER The Board of Supervisors | | — | An ordinance was passed to print by the Board of Supervisors yesterday or- dering the extension of the Sunset main sewer from H street and Fourteenth ave- nue to its outfall. The Board of Public Works recommended the improvement as necessary, and estimates that it will cost approximately $40,000. . A resolution was adopted declaring the intention of the board to purchase the necessary right of way in the Precita | Valley lands for the extension of the Potrero-ayenue sewer to Army street. The City Attorney v;‘as‘ ldlre«-teu to ex- bstraet of title. 2 an'x:_:‘n: ;E;h?ance reducing the width of the sidewalks on Fuiton street, from | Eighth avenue to the Great Highway to fifteen feet was finally passed.

Grandemann said . that Merritt owed him a bill for a sack of onions, and he called upon him Saturday to collect the amount. Merritt refused to pay it and Grandemann remarked that he would fake him a present of it. Merritt got angy, he says, chased him out of the store and threw a cleaver at him, grazing his ear. —————— Deputy Sheriff Waibel Poisoned. Deputy Sheriff John G. Waibel, who re- sides at 719 Webster street, was treated at the Emergency Hospital vesterda Dr. Murphy for ptomaine poisoning. Wa bel, who gave his name to the hospital steward as “J. Wilson,” stated that he had been to a French restaurant for junch, and while at the table became fll, He left and went to his room, where he became alarmod at ptoms.and the sym) hagtened to the hospital for treatment. He will recover, bells, liek directly beneath the tonsorial and thirst parlors of the hotel. The tonsorial artists ‘were swinging their razors over the stormy beards of the men of law and jurisprudence, when the smoke from that troublesome dry- ing-room crept through all the holes and crevices about the barber shop. Some one said something about_the smoke being evidence of hot air. Both Riordan and Judge Conlan questioned this statement, stating that they knew considerable more about hot air and its general method of dispensation through cooler ozone than any person present. No one present cast any doubt upon their Judgment. The clanging of the bells of the ma- chines of the Fire Department caused Mr. Riordan and Judge Conlan to become a trifle alarmed. “I'm choking,” exclaimed Mr. Riordan. Judge Conlan coughed effusively and declared that he, too, was in need of gon- siderable respiration, as he had some six- teen meetings to address in the evering. P EPARING FOR BOND ELECTION Three Propositions May Be Submitted to People. The Board of Supervisors yesterday re- ferred to the Finance Committee a reso- lution declaring the intention to submit in Dgcember propositions for the con- struction of new schoolhouses, a new hos- pital and sewers. The resolution also calls on the Board of Works to furnish plans and estimates for the proposed im- provements. The resolution calling on the Spring Valley Company to submit before Novem- ber 4, 1901, its offer for the sale of the sites and works used by it in supplying the city with water was referred to the Public Utilities Committee. The ordinance ordering the performance of street work on Polk street, between Sutter and Jackson, for two feet on each side of the tracks of the Sutter-street Railway Company, was finally passed. The railway company has refused to pay ‘for its share and the passage of the ordi- nance will enable the contractors to pave the street with the exception of the space between the tracks. The ordinance granting a permit to M. H. de Young to erect a seven-story build- ing, 109 feet in height, on Geary street, near Stockton, was opposed by Branden- stein, who held that it was in violation of the ordinance limiting buildings on streets less than 100 feet wide to 100 feet in height. Reed contended that the permit should be granted, as it was for a worthy improvement, and that the board had al- ready granted similar privileges and others that violated the charter, whereas the De Young permit -was within the province of the board. The ordinance was finally passed, with 11 votes in its favor and 3 against. 2 The San Francisco Athletic Club . was granted a permit to hold an Amateur box- ing exhibition on November, 1, 1901. The courtroom and chambers now used by Justice of the Peace Danlels were as- signed temporarily to Superior Judge Dunne until such time as a jury-room Is provided in the Hall of Justice to gnable Judge Dunne to transfer his department to that building. There was a long argument over the ordinance creating the positions of chief deputy and head clerk in_the Registrar's office. There were not fourteen Super- visors who were favorable to the measure present and it was postponed for one week. When Braunhart later moved to reconsider the ordinance he met with a storm_of opposition on the part of Read and Brandenstein and he withdrew his motion.

The tonsorial artists tried to hold them, but they broke into a run and were greeted cheerfully at the door by Mayor Phelan. The Mayor, with coat collar turned up, was watching the work of the firemen, and he expressed great pleasure that Mr. Riordan and Judge Conlan had been saved from death. The legal gentle- men thanked him for his sympathetic re- ?ard. and removing the lfltfler from their aces with their handkerchiefs proceeded to another tonsorial parlor to have a final and clean cut decision of the shaving problem. ORDINANCE WILL NOW BE TESTED Board Wants Law Pro- hibiting High Fences Enforced. —_—— The Board of Supervisors will proceed to enforce the ordinance limiting the height of fences for advertising purposes to ten feet. At yesterday’'s meeting Reed introduced the following resolution on the subject, which was adopted: Resolved, That in the matter of the action at law now pending against a - al lax:nov- pending the Board of Pub: the enforcement of S‘hle{dc;r Police preventing e ordinance of this r limiting the height of adverliulntt;‘:;o':gmtg ten feet, the City and County Attorney is hercby requested “to press the injunction pro- ceedings to a speedy conclusion and Is re- quested to move to have the injunction modi- fied so as to permit the arrest of the defend- ants in 2 criminal action, so that the whole subject can be passed u; Sublece pon definitely and The police committee submitted the fol- lowing report, in which attention oils called to the oppo S {6 the ordinanger " tion of the bill-posters Since the introduction of a resolut! - questing the Board of Public Worke med the Chief of Police to enforce ordinance No, 25 limiting the helght of fences used for adyver: tising purnoses to ten feet from the side- walk, Messrs. Owens, Varney & Green have begun suit against the Board of Public Worke and the Chief of Police and a temporary in- junction has been issued from the Superior Court forbidding the Board of Public Works and the Chief of Police from enforcing the ordinance. It is evident that the bill-posters desire to prevent action until the marier s tried In the courts, and that they will then appeal to the Supreme Court in case the or. dinance ‘is decided valid. In this manner they will consume two or. three years In 1iti. gation. We regret that the. Superior Court has seen fit to issue injuncions preventing the Po. lice Department from enforcing the law, a has been done in the case of Ingleside track in the matter of enforcing the ordinance regu. lating boxing contests, and lastly, in the pres- ent case. If the Chief of Police causes the ar- rest of one of the bill-nosters a speedy trial can be had in the criminal courts, and if the decision is adverse to them the defendants can sue out a writ of habeas cornus before the Suoreme Court and have the whole mat- ter settled definitely and speedily. Their Names Wrongfully Used. The Homestake Gold Mining Companv has been incorporated and a rose-colored circular has been issued by the promoter. giving the names of prominent officials and business men as being connected with the enterprise. Among the names are those of United States District Clerk George E. Morse and United States Attor- ney Marshall B. Woodworth. These gen- tlemen sald yesterday that the use of their names was unauthorized and that they knew nothing about the company. ‘The following are the names of the Girec: tors given in the articles of incorpora- tlon: George F.

Gl giCe Blaze Confined to Basement and Order Is Soon Restored. \ Fire broke out yesterday in the drying- room of the Occidental' Hotel laundry. Little damage was done, but for a time intense excitement prevailed on the streets and jn the hotel. The excellent service rendered by the Fire Department prevented great loss. Three alarms were sent in by Chief Sullivan because of the menacing appearance of the blaze. It was shortly after the noon hour when the fire was discovered. Hundreds of pedestrians were on their way in and out of the business section. A dense vol- ume of smoke breaking through the side- walk ventilators on the Bush-street side first attracted attention. Within five minutes smoke filled the building and it appeared as if the big structure was doomed to destruction. The odor of smoke, the clang of fire apparatus and the shouting from the streets aroused the guests to act.on. Many were at lunch in the dining-room and they rushed pellmell into the lower corridors. Those occupying rooms came to windows and for a time appeared panlc stricken. - S8ome shouted to spectators be- low, but assurances of safety were called back. The hotel attaches displayed great presence of mind and as quickly as possi- ble circulated through the building, ex- plaining - the location ‘of the flames and telling of the ample time for escape in the event that the building should be doomed. Police Avert Panic. Police Officers ‘Ed Leonard, Tom Walsh and James Farrel were quickly on the scene and rendered excellent service in the streets, keéping the more excited off the fire escapes and quellinf any dem- onstration that would be likely to lead to a panic. As soon as the fire was under control . order was restored, people T turned to their apartments and the trunks and other personal belongings that had been dragged into the corridors were taken back to their respective places. ‘When Chief Sulllvan responded to the first alarm the smoke was so dense that entrance to the basement where the fire was burning was almost impossible. The firemen were unable for many minutes to determine the exact location of the fire. Whether it was creeping up between the walls, as was indicated by the smoke, could not be told. The Chief, in a quan- dary as to the extent of the blaze, ordered a second alarm rung in and the firemen set to work with a will. Bections of the barroom floor were chopped out and vol- umes of water directed into the base- ment. Despite the efforts of the firemen, the smoke thickened and the building became almost completely enveloped. The Chief then turned in a third alarm and an- other relay of engines hurried to the fire. A circulator was then set to work. This piece. of serviceable apparatus had been in use but a short time when it reached the blaze and the danger was pronounced past. The room in which the fire started was walled by brick, making it difficult for the water to reach it. It contains the steam pipes for drying the clothes. Burned Like Tinder. ‘Al the employes of the laundry were at lunch when the fire broke out. It is supposed - that lint, which sometimes ac- cumulates around the pipes, ignited and set fire to the clothes. The woodwork and clothes were highly inflammable ow- ing to the constant heat and burned like tinder. Major Hooper says his loss will approxi- mate $1000. Water ruined a great deal of material on tne first floor and some of the walls and floors were torn by the firemen’s axes in their effort to locate the fire. Three firemen were overcome by smoke —Daugherty and Conlan of engine 2 and Freeman of the fire patrol. Freeman was caught in the basement and was brought out of his perilous position through a hole chopped in the sidewalk. Bullard Case Dismissed. The case of M. A. Bullard of the Cali- fornia ‘Employment Agency on Third street, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses from three Italian labor- ers from whom he got a dollar each for a job at rallroad construction work at Ukiah, was dismissed by Judge Cabaniss yesterday. The complaining witnesses were not in court at the calling of the case through a misunderstanding, but ap- peared later. By that time it was tod late, as the case had been dismissed. ———— Merchant’s Estate Appraised. The appraisers appointed to determine the value of the estate of the late S. Sternheim. filed their report yesterday. The estate, according to the report, is worth $80,000, and consists of stock and book accounts in the firm of S. Stern- heim & Sons, worth about $45,000, and life linsurance poMcies for $25,000, and a resi- dence at the corner of Bush and Octavia streets worth about $7500. ADVERTISEMENTS.
