Secretary Cadwallader called the roll of the board and President Newhall then asked for nominations for the vacaut Tice. Commissioner Mahoney endeavored to block any action by saying that as Mayor Phelan was an ex-officio member of the board, it should not take any action in his ence. President Newhall announced that he had spoken to the Mavor about the mat- ter, and that the chief executive had in- formed him that he did not desire to at- tend the meeting. Colonel Howell then placed the name of Captain Wittman in nomination and as no other candidates were put forward the president declared the nominations closed President Newhall :riormed his asso- ciate Commissioners *hat when the vore was taken it should be by affirmative and negative answers The secretary then railed the names of the Commissioners, the first to respond being Judge Wallace Wallace Compliments Wittman. Judge Wallace, in voting for Wittman. said: In this connection I wish to say that it has been a matter of a great deal of consideration as far as I am concerned in the election of a Chief of Police—and I think my associates have also given the matter of the selection of a Chief careful consideration in trying to find a man who could fill this important place for us. Of course there are other men who might fill this office proper’ every good ecitizen ghes to see the office filied by & man who can preserve the order and keep the peace. 1 have looked into this matter carefully and be- T | lieve that Captain Wittman has seen service for a number of years in discharge of police duties and has always shown a high capacity in that direction, When 1 pause to think of the administration of the Police Department under Chief Crowley we know and I know that the administration of Crowley received the approbation of every- body and when any important plece of work was to be done in the department Chief Crow- ley would always select Captain Wittman to £0 to the front, even taking him from his district, where his services were needed, and I believe that Captain Wittman was always sue- cessful in the discharge of his dutles. ven am so informed, were here to-d: Our late lament- ivan, whenever he was of sickness or otherwise, al ways nominated Captain Wittman to be ac Chief. Jle has repeatedly done this, and last mom when the late Chief died, Wittman was selected to represent I these facts bring to my mind the we are making no mistake in our that we are not getting a new nor an untried man, but that we are getting a man who has received the approval and approba- tlon of all the Chiefs of Police under whom he has served. I am sure the late Chief was highly appre- ciated by all in this city and county as an honorable, consclentious and, a good man. Ac- cording to my best judgment and to all the ideas 1 have been able to reach, and considering all the information that I have been abla to get, and as I firmly belleve, I think that In Captain Wittman we will find a man who will perform those high duties in an honorable and efficient manner. He is no doubt a man of great capacity, and has been tried and has a0t been found wanting. 1 have not been able to any one to come up to Captaln Witt- in these qualifications, hence I vote for Mahoney Attacks Nominee. Commissioner Mahoney, who voted against Wittman, then rose and said: 1 agree with Judge Wallace that a man se- lected for this office should be possessed of many qualities, a man of unquestioned honesty and unquestioned integrity, a man of clear common_ sense and good judgment, who is 50 situated that he would not engender discord or discussion among the people. I believe that Captatn Wittman does *not fill these conditions and I cannot consclentiously vote for him. think the Judge js mistaken when he says that Captaln Wittman was always selected in the late Chief's absence to act in bis place. It is my recollection that it was his custom to se- lect Captain Seymour. On the occasion of his last fliness Captain Seymour was not selected because he was out of the city at the time. I believe that the time has now come when the methods at present in use in the Police De- partment have passed. 1 do not believe that under ordinary cireum- stances, when there is dissension among the people, it is necessary to use force or even harsh language. I believe that the citi- zens of San Francisco are the most orderly in the world when assembled in large gatherings, and the easiest handled, and I do_ not believe that people should be handled in a brusque and rough manner as they have been. Those police methods have passed. From my observations I do not belleve that the candidate named is possessed of the advanced class and ideas of what a Chiet of Police should be possessed of. Consequently I find it incumbent upon me to decline to vote for Captain Wittman and will not suggest any other name, as I do not desire to place anybody in the position of being in personal antagonism to the Chief who will be elected. When President Newhall announced the result of the election, he requested Ser- geant Gleason to call Captain Wittman into the board room. Captain Wittman, the new Chief, en- tered the room and after saluting stood at attention in front of the Commission- ers’ table. President Newhall, addressing the new Chief, said: “I wish to say to you that the Board of Police €Commissioners has elected you Chief of Police of the city of San Francisco.” “I wish to thank you very kindly for the high honor conferred upon me,” an- swered Captain Wittman, “and I wish to say to you and to the public in general that no act of mine while in office will bring the blush of shame on your or their cheeks. Gentlemen, 1 thank You again.’ The new Chief of Police then shook hands with all the Commissioners and he was congratulated by the officials and many of the heads of the various branches of the Police Department. Life of the New Chief. George W. Wittman was born on June 28, 1857, in Hastings, Minn., and came to California via the Isthmus of Panama with his parents when he was six months old. The family first settled in Amador County, Wittman’s father taking up min- irg. When George W. Wittman was 13 vears old his father moved to San Fran- cisco and the new Police Chief has re- slded in this city since that time. He was educated in the public schools of San Franclsco and was apprenticed to a pilumber, learning his trade thoroughly. Wittman was appointed a patrolman on the police force on April 23, 1882, and for flve years patrolled Kearny street, from California to Market. In August, 1888, he was promoted to be sergeant and on April 1, 1895, was made | a licutenant. On July 31 of the same year he was made a captain to succeed Cap- tain Douglass, who retired. Wittman was placed in command of the northern po- lice district, the most important in the city. It embraces all the territory north of Market street and west of Front street. During the recent labor troubles Witt- man was in charge of the police officers detailed by the late Chief Sullivan to maintain order in the business districts and on the water front. He was an able | aid to the late Chief during the time that | President McKinley was ‘a. guest of San Francisco and on all oceasions has shown himself fearless and faithful in the exe- cution of his duties. The new Chief takes his new honors modestly. He said his aim would be to please the entire community and that he would be accessible to any one who de- sired to see him on business of the de- partment. The ow of the late Chief Sullivan vesterday presented the new Chiet of Po- lice the gold badge worn by Colonel Sul- livan during his tenure of office. Chief of Police Wittman was a close personal friend of the late Chief Sullivan and his solicitude during Sullivan's last {llness was most pronounced. There was general satisfaction express- ed last evening in the Police Department and throughout the city that Wittman had been elected as head of the Police Department. Chief Wittman received the following congratulatory telegrams on his appoint- ment last night: LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 21, 19L.—George IV, Wittman, ~ Chlef of Police: Accept my hearty congratulations on your appointment as Chief of Police.

The Supervisors’ Stre~t Committee yes- erday recommended ttat work in cor- fon with Telegraph Hill be done in .ccordance with a report made by the ity Engineer, whict contemplates th: ‘hanging of the grades, the establish- nent of a new street and the construc- ion of a tunnel aboul 950 feet long. The improvements will cost approx:- mately $430,000, for whaich bonds may be ssued, should the p=opie so decide. It is planned to conrect Montgomery street by a tunnel from near Jacksoa streete with ‘he low ground north of Vallejo street, and te establish a new street lying midway between Mont- gomery and Sansome {hence northerly lo lsrmhaalp at Winthrop street. Edgdr Painter, secretary of the North Central Improvement Association, stated that ‘the Board of Trade and mercharts favored the plan and requested that it be incorporated in the bond proposition. James H. O'Brien was granted permis sion to macadamize. ccrtain- blocks _on Crestnut, Francisco, Octavia and La- guna streets. B Would Not Prosecute Her. Ada Carothers, who was accused of grand larceny for stealing two diamonds and a pearl ring from Mrs. W. Gage, 554 McAllister street, appeared before Judge Cabaniss vesterday. Mrs. Page told the | Judge that she had promised the girl that if she returned the jewelry she would not prosecute her. The girl had done so, and Mrs. Page sald she would keep her promise and not swear to a complaint. The Judge had to dismiss the case, COAST TRAFFIC AGENTS HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION Two Hundred New Members Ars Elected and Taken Into the Association.

A, Streib Makes Most Sensa- tional Catch of the Season. e The Oakland cripples surprised both themselves and their admirers yesterday by defeating the San Franciscos by & score of 6 to 3. The Oakland aggregation played good ball, although they would have doubled their score had they been able to hit more opportunely. Twice they had three men on bases and any kind of a hit would have been good for one or more runs, but they were not equal to it. The sensational play of the day and one of the greatest ever seen on the grounds was Streib’s catch of Schwartz's hit to right field in the fourth inning. £treib had an unusually long run on a heavy, slippery field for the ball. He stopped it high in the air with his right hand and the ball dropped into his left hand. The small attendance of spectators applauded the play and greeted Streib JAth applause when he returned from the eld. In the next inning Schmidt flew to Nor- dyke at center field. The caich was al- most a duplicate of Streib’s. Oakland commenced its run-getting In the first inning. Mohler, Dunleavy and Btreib were on the bases and Babbitt's two-bagger sent them all scurrying home. “In the fourth inning, with Mohler on second, Streib sent the ball to right field fence. It hit the top rail and bounded back into the lot, robbing the batsman of a home run. Mohler scored on the hit. Bhay’'s carelessness in_the seventh let in two runs. Francks hit a_pop fly to him and he was so sure of it he let the ball !HE through his fingers. Han- sen and Schmidt scored. The Wasps captured- their runs in the first two innings. In the first Nordyke started Dmceedinfs with _a two-bagger ide! and scored on HI brand’'s out at first. In the second inning Krug was hit by pitcher and Shay sent the ball over cen- ter fleld fence for a home run. 'This ended the run getting. Some of the wags among the spectators whistled Chopin’s funeral march and directed it at the ‘Wasps as an intimation they were ‘‘dead ones” yesterday. Schmidt carried off the pitching honors, having good control and great speed. He walked only one man. The score: OAKLAND. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. E.

More coin than half a dozen stevedores could handle was banked on the chances of Ordnung, until the price reached 3 to 5. The event in which he figured was third on the programme, and at the start Woods had the favorite away, sailing. In the stretch Eonlc, with Hoar and but 97 pounds up, introduced herself to the Jeader. Caesar Young's filly proved a more than interesting traveling compan- fon and, had Woods not finally been te:— uinely scared and bumped her with Or .; nung three or four times in a rude an insulting manner, she would have won. As it was, the favorite appeared fortu- nate indeed to score by a neck. No one will complain at a rider being ambitious and doing his best to win, but Whelll he resorts to questionable jockeying it's a ferryboat to a peanut stand that sooner or later his mount will be disqualified by the officials in the stand. IFitzkanet, the St. Louis mudlark, ran third in the race mentioned and with more racing luck might bave taken a larger slice of the B Favorites Splash Home. Number “One” mud it was that covered th track, soft and somewhat sloppy, and four more favorites splashed home first. It made the third or fourth straight day that the talent had worsted the books and some few layers of odds are b_e_com- ing nearsighted .ooking for a ‘“gcod break.”” § Floronso, a rejuvenated cripple, won the introductory mile run at odds of 5 and 6 to 1. He'led the favorite, Darlene, from the start, beating Dr. Rowell's filly by three open lengths.. Commonwealth Attorney ran third. If Essence, the even-money favorite for | the mile and a sixteenth event which fol- lowed, had been compelled to run thirty yards further he would not have won. For a mile the Burns & Waterhouse en- try seemed to be only galloping, then | the gelding began backing up and, hard i pressed at the wire, led Bonnie Lissak out a neck. Cromwell lost the show to | Castake by twenty lengths. About the only starter in the four fur- long selling affair that could get within hailing distance of Sea Lion was The Singer. The last-named horse looked to have a chance once during the race but found the clip too rugged, and the fa- vorite enjoyed an easy victory. Old Ring- { master dropped into the show at odds of 30 to 1. Racing Head and Head. Green Morris scratched Homestake from the five furlong two-year-old scram- ble and P. Guilfoyle’s Redan went to the post a hot favorite. The first choice acted badly over at the barrier but finally got away very well and won all the way. | Sistér Jeanie cut quite a dash in second place as far as the stretch, but, not being up to a gruelling race, fell out of it. Josie G finished a close second, four lengths ahead of Dean Swift. ‘Winnie O’Connor's mount, Dunblane, carried the bulk of the coin bet on tne closing milc_run, decided under selling conditions. Racing head and head almost with Alfred C, Jockey Birkenruth, on Lodestar, caught the two leaders all out and landed the outsider a handy first. In a fierce drive Dunblane just beat Al- fred C a neck for second place. Track Notes. O'Nelil, the clever lightweight who made such a hit riding at St. Louis the past season, will arrive to-day. The youngster can do 9 pounds and comes under en- gagement to Walter Jennings.

Eddie Hanlon gained the decision over Jockey Bennett in a four-round boxing bout last night before the Bay City Ath- letic Club at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Annex after one of the most sensational fights ever seen here. The two bantam- welghts stood up and fought every mo- ment of the four rounds. ‘When the gong sounded Bennett at once landed some stinging blows on Hanlon's head and had him slightly in distress. Toward the end of the round Hanlon sent a straight left to the head, scoring a clean knockdown. The second round com- menced with a great exchange of rights and lefts, neither youngster flinching from the punishment. During the round each had the other groggy. The best blow of the round was a right swing to the face which Bennett landed. Jockey Bennett was knocked down in the third round, but came strongly in the stretch run and scored two rights to the head. Hanlon was the aggressor in the last round, Bennett clinching to avoid punish- ment. He made one stand, but Hanlon took all the punishment he couid give and just at the end of the fight knocked him down. The house was in a turmoil during the entire bout, all tie spectators being on their feet, while a surging, swaying mob surrounded the ring, urging on the "game little boxers. Bob Johnson and Dick Cullen were the first brace in the ring. They went at it from the start and fought fast throughout the four rounds. Johnson was slightly heavier than his opponent and this toid before the end of the fight. He won on oints. ploe Angell and Bob Thomas looked like a k!netouore picture—arms and gs flying about in a weird manner. Neither could hit a clean blow, but they furnished plenty of amusement for the spectators. It was called a draw. Willlam Ingham and Jim Richards fought four rounds, the latter getting the decision. Ed Martin stopped Jack Sulllvan in the fourth round. e wore down his man and a blow in the stomach did the busi- ness. In the second round Martin had Sullivan nolssy and {t seemed the end ‘was near. In the third round Suljivan outgamed him and fought him to a stand- still. Martin came back the stronger and won. George Peterson gave Pete McGee his customary beating. Peterson knocked him down twice and cut him_badly. Joe Hill knocked out Jack McDonald in the second round. The latter was un- necessarily punished. For a time it seemed a tragedy would be enacted. The referee should never have permitted the finishing blows to be delivered as McDonald was helpless. He was a long time regaining consclousness. James McDevitt was referee and Jim Griffin judge.

Here are two pictures of our $1.30 hats—the Derby and the Dunlap Crusher. The former is selling in great numbers because it is the best stiff hat for the pric:that is offered in San Francisco. The other is selling as fast as we can procure them, as the Dunlap Crusher is the popular hat now, and ours come in all the wanted col- ors, and besides the quality of this hat is equal to the usual $2.00 Crusher sold about town in exclusive stores. We have $1. 30 Fedoras, too, that are favorites with many people. You should see our $1.30 line. Out-of-town orders filled—write us. SNWO00D 5 (0- 718 Market Street.
