Indications That Chief Will Be Appointed Within Ten Days. —_—— Judge William T. Wallace blocked the appointment of a Chief at the sesslon of the Board of Police Commissioners Tues- day night last. The Commissioners by informal exchange of views had arrived at the general conclusion that an execu- tive officer should be chosen without de- lay, as there was o feeling of unrest in the department. A day or two prier to Tuesday it was well understood that three of the Commissioners were ready to act on the question of filling the va- ancy caused by the death of Colonel Sullivan. Judge Wallace was supposed to favor the appointment of Captain | Wittman, and it was contended that Commissioners ~ Newhall and Howell would extend their approval of this se- lection. . It was quite well known that Commissioner Mahony would oppose the promotion of Wittman, but would not in- terpose other resistance to the filling of the vacancy. Tuesday night at the regular sesslon of the board the president of the Come mission -suggested that the question of appointing a Chief be taken up. Judge Vallace ald not enter a formal protest, but said in & commonplace way, “Let us defer that matter and proceed with the regular business on the calendar. ‘When Wallace thus signified that he was not ready to vote the inference was read- ily drawn that he had not made up his tioned for Chief, or had made it up and changed it. Whatever may be the in- side impression, the outside conjecture is that Judge Wallace ylelded to per- suasive pressure and in the parlance of tne push ‘‘fell down.” Wallace May Be Reappointed. One story goes that Wallace received assurance of reappointment to the board under Mayor Schmitz's administration. Another story is to the effect that Mayor Phelan urged him to defeat the appomnt- ment of Wittman. . The common impression that Mahony’s term as Commissioner expires before that of Judge Wallace is not correct. A mis- print in a guide or directory created this erroneous notion. Judge Wallace's term will expire on January 8 next. He may be reappointed by Mayor Schmitz. He is recognized as an able, masterful man, and known to be an old resident. Law- vers have a profound régard for his nowledge of the law—so profound that they will accept his opinions against their own judgment. On the Supreme bench he prepared opinions for his associates to slgn and they frequently signed them, Lecause Wallace’ with a broad assertive sweep indicated that there was nothing | else to do but sign. - Perhaps there was hothing lordly or domineering in his decree to the Pulice Commission that the question of appoint- ing a Chief should be deferred. It Is by no means certain that his fellow-Com- missioners would stand any bluffing, be- cause of late years the bluffs of the Judge have been successfully called in the Board of Regents and in other high and influential circles. No oge in or out of the Police Commission disputes Judge | Wallace's right to be slow in making up his mind or his right to change it after Faving made it up. Wise men do change their opinions and Wallace may be wise in his day and generation. The best information obtalnable is that an appointment of a Chief will be made by the board within ten days. It is said that Judge Wallace will not imperil his chances of reappointment to the board by voting for any one other than Wittman. | The men who are leading the fight | against Wittman’s promotion appear to have abandoned the proposition to defer action until the inauguration of the new | Mayor. They now simply ask the a pointment of any one but Wittman. Sey- mour, Spillane, Dinan and Dunlevy are sald to be acceptable. Many Rumors in Circulation. Common rumor that Newhall and How- ell regard Wittman as the right man and stand ready to appoint him may be cor-| rect, but neither Commissioner will au- thorize The Call to publish-the statement | as fact. They do recognize, however, that there is a vacancy in the executive office at the department which should be filled. The beard, in its official capacity, has not | discussed 'the vacancy, but informally opinions have been interchanged. After reflection and further consideration, New- hall and Howell may change their minds | and ilva their support to some man ac- | ceptable to Mahony or Wallace. The pub- | lic is not clamoring for the appointment of any particular man, but Is simply sur- prised at the Indecision or indifference of the Board of Police Commissioners. Captain Wittman has not asked the Col mission for the appointment or even sig- | nified that he wanted the position. His record is before the commission and the | people. He stands ready to obey orders and serve in whatever capacity his su- perfor officers direct. The newspapers that criticlse him for accepting a gift from the business men of the city had no comment to offer when certain appre- ciative citizens presented Outlaw Chris Evaps with a Winchester rifle. Certainly | Judge Wallace has a right to change ?\ia‘ mind concerning Captain Wittman and surely San Francisco has a right to change its mind about Judge Wallace, and whoever. supposes that this town is going to be run by a yellow newspaper mf};i get ready for a complete change of mind. BOARD OF EDUCATION CANNOT DELEGATE POWER Judge Hunt Decides That Its Presi- dent Cannot Suspend a Teacher. The demurrer to the petition for a writ of prohibition restraining the Board of Education” from suspending Miss M. C. McKinnev from her position in the Sher- man Grammar School until she has been tried on the charges preferred by Prin- cipal Albert Lyser was overruled by Judge Hunt yesterday. The Board of Education demurred to the petition on the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action and that the court had no juris- diction oyer the ard of ucation. Judge Hunt holds that e board in vesting the E:wer of suspension in the sreslden! of the board violated a well de- ned principle of the law, which pro- vides that a board acting judicially has not the right to delegate the power which under certain conditions it has of suspending a teacher against whom charges have been preferred. ————— Emergency Hospital Changes.

The members of the Traveling Passen- ger Agents’ Assoclation left last evening for the East in a special train of two sec- tions. During their brief sojourn in San Francisco they have been royally enter- tained, much of the credit being due io the Calffornia reception committee of the association, which has been working for months preparing a long and splend'd programme. Yesterday morning the railroad mel and their friends assembled at the ferr: butlding at 1) o’clock. They were shown the many exhibits in the State Board of Trade, which made a deep impression ou them. After about an hour spent in the Building the party took the Jackson street cars for a ride to the Cliff House. On thelr arrival there a dainty luncheon was laid for them, the expense of the meal ba. ing defrayed by the State Board of Trade. Arter the black coffee had been served Géneral N. P. Chipman, president of the State Board of Trade, made a short ad- dress of welcome. He was followed by . H. Mills, land agent of the Southera Pacific Company. Mr. Mills was at his best, and his remarks were so bright and full of humor that he kept the party in a laugh throughout the entire speech. In closing he paid a tribute to E. O. McCor- mick, saying: s “I believe Mr. McCormick is the star welcomer of the country. He will have a smile and kind word for the undertaker when he comes.” On account of the ram the trip througn Golden Gate Park was abandoned. A number of the Eastery railroad men had heard of the fame of n Francisco’s French dinners and were anxious to tr one. Last night their wish was gratified, as the entire party was entertained at a French dinner at the Palace Hotel by the Southern Pacific Company. The affair was impromptu and all came dressed to board the train. The dinner and gathe:- ing closed at 11 o'clock, and all then took the train at Oakland mole.

PECULIAR CONDITIONS AT ENTZMINGER HOME Officials Suspect Mrs. McVicker of Deuble Dealing With a Feeble- Minded Woman. Secretary White of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children alleges that a peculiar state of affairs exists at the home of Lizzie Entzminger, whose two children were recently placed in a charitable institution. Mrs. Entzminger is said to be weak mentally. She has labored for years to fupport, herself and children, and has lately been compelled to give up the struggle, owing to sickmess. Secretary White sent her to_ the City and County Hospital, but she did not care to remain tnere and returned to her own abode. Several attempts are said to have been made by charitably inclined persons tu . relieve Mrs. Entzminger’'s financial dis- tress, but all have been met at the door of the house by a Mrs. McVickor, who has informed them that the woman is dangerous and that charity is not accept- able, as she possesses property. ‘White says that no one is allowed to see the sick woman, and he fears there is something wrong. An investigation is being made by the officials of the Cgh- dren’s Society and of the German Be- nevolent Association. —_——— Accepts the Reduced Verdict. A stipulation was filled yesterday in the County Clerk's office whereby Hugh Leroy Shea, who was awarded $25,000 damages for the death of his father, who was killed while in the employ of the Pacific Power Company, walved all claim for 315,000 of that amount. The attorneys for the company recently moved for a new trial,*on the ground that the sum awarded by the jury was excessive, according to a decision of the Supreme* Court ‘to the effect that me larger sum than the amount that the per- son killed could have earned in his natu-- ral life if his life had not been cut short should be awarded. Judge Hunt' in passing on the motion for a new trfal held with the attorneys for the defense and said he would grant the mouu%a unless Shea consented to ac- ec*t $10, 'he company will in all probability ap- peal the case to the Supreme sather than pay the amount of the re- luced verdict.
