‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1902. MISCELLANEOUS. § LET US REASON W’E are not in business for our health, neither are Market-street concerns which ad- vertise Roxbury carpets at 75c per yard. People go into business to make a profit, but z‘he amount of profit asked by different stores is almost entirely governed by the running expenses of the respective stores. Our enormous establishment, with its facilities for handling large quantities of trade with the least possible expense, is enabled to un- dersell any downtown stores from 10 to 20 per cent. Our rent account has never amounted to 1 per cent of our sales, and it is not a matter of guesswork when we af- firm that the average rent account of a Market-street furniture store should fully reach 7 per cent. Here is a saving in our favor in rent alone on a business of $500,00'0 a year of $30,000. Does it stand to reason that a store thus handicapped can sell goods at our prices? 70c per yard at PATTOSIEN’S. TTLL there are other items of unavoidable expense unknown to us, but only too S well known to the downtown business men, which all help to raise the running ex- pense c_wf a Market-street Furniture Store to enormous proportions, and make it quite impossible for them to compete with “off stores.” R Many have tried to run a Furniture Store on Market street between Third and Eighth, but all have failed.

We suggest that you inquire the reason Whyf Also, that you consider that our workmanship is absolutely the best in the city; in fact, our workshop is a regular training school, where other stores draw their help from, and last year a Market-street concern paid us the compliment of hiring one of our cutters, three of our sewing girls and one- of our salesmen, and by these very concerns we are being daily accused of poor work- manship.

The cup was sent to him with the foliowing letter on his seventy-fifth birthday: Y HONOLULU, Territory of Hawali. Franklin H. Day, San Francisco, Cal.—Dear i The undersigned members of Hawailan Lodge No. 21, F. and A. M., duly_appreciating your generous devotion to the best interests of the lodge as its honored representative near the most worshipful Grand Lodge of Caltfornia, and your untiring efforts to practically illustrate to its individual mem- bers when visiting San Francisco the true im- port of Masonic fraternal regard, now ask i you to accest from them as a token of such appreciation this loving cup, which they have elected s, in thelr Jjudgment, the mi fitting symbol to convey to you the sentiments they would express. And they trust you may long retain this token as an evidence of their unfailing regard. The cup symbolizes the genial good-fellowship ‘which should ever at- tend the brethren in their hours of refresh- ment and of whicK good-fellowship you have ever been an earnest and willing contributor; the pure sflver from which it is fashioned is typical of the pure and disinterested friend- ship for which you have made us deeply your debtor; it generous measure betokens that | generous heart from which flows so often un- stinted measure of the milk, yea, the very wine of Juman kindness, and its triple handies | may they cver be a reminder that we are | bound to you by the three fold tle of genial { companionship, Mgh esteem and brotherly love. We approach with some diffidence a refererice | to the material of which these handles are | composed. We know that for you they will never suggest the horns of a dilemma, but we 5, i i | | bave faith to believe tl {10 you something more ‘endeering,” and we | trust trat you will find them firm 'supporters when from the cup itself you and those you | love best would quaff the horn of joy. Loving Cup Is Duly “Initiated.” The letter is_signed by the officer and eighteen members of the lodge. Day stated, after the cup had been admired, that he proposed to break through the time honored Masonic law that prohibits initfation, passing and raising at one 2 | session, for he filled the cup with wine, | thus “initiating” the goblet that never H | | | | § | § | | } | from one companion to the other with the > | request that he “‘raise” it to his lips, This | play on a ceremony of the fraternity was ! well received and loudly applauded.

Each Superior Judge Must Try Proportion of All Cases. Judge Carroll Cook, who was elected Presiding Judge Monday, has determined to make some changes in the method of assigning cases. He intends fo distribute civil and criminal cases among all the Judges, so that business will be expedited, and some courts thatare now overcrowded may be relieved from overwork, and oth- ers that have little to do may have their share. He said yesterday: It is my intention to at once relieve the congestion that has existed in departments one and two by assigning cases In these courts to other courts. All the business, both civil and criminal, will be as equally distributed as possible among the twelve courts. There will be no criminal, civil or probate courts. The law does not recognize such a division ana the distinction has' come into vogue only through usage. The State has proyided twelve Judges to.try anything that comes before them, and while I am in office the theory upon’ which the courts are organized will be foilowed out as far as possible. The Judge will also endeavor to have his court transferred to the City Hall, and he will also use his influence to have Judge Lawlor removed there. On this subject he gaid: ' There is no other city in the Union where the higher criminal courts are in the same buflding with Police Courts, There are certaln influences that militate against the proper administration of justice. Just think of the number of cases tried since we have been in the Hall of Justice where there have been either acquittals, disagreements or com- promise verdicts. The men who hang around the Police Courts hang around our courts and when a jury leaves court for luncheon these men make remarks in favor of the defendant in a loud voice, 50 that they can be heard by the jurors. I do not say that they directly talx to jurors, but their remarks in the man- ner I state is equally as bad. As presiding Judge all the cases filed in the courts will have to pass through' my hands, and to bring them before me a man will be kept busy golng to and from the City Hall, where. the County Clerk’s office is located. Besides, attorneys who want orders and stipu- iations of various kinds will be put to the inconvenience of coming to the Hall of Jus- tice. For these reasons I will wait upon the new building committee at its first meet- ing and see what arrangements can be made to have Judge Lawlor and myself transferred to the City Hall, so that all the Superior Courts will be under one roof. Some of the Justices' Courts could be transferred to the Hall of Justice, There is another point I forgot to mention: An attorney in a case before Judge Lawlor or myself may refer to a certain decision, and there is no means of | finding out its correctness excepting through the Law Library at the City Hall, The Dis- trict Attorney’s office can remain in the Hall of Justice or it can be removed to the City Hall. It is immaterial. BARTENDER TELLS ABOUT QUARREL BEFORE KILLING Trial of Emmet N. Pettigrew for Al- leged Murder of Lafayette A. Welsh Is Resumed. The trial of Emmet N.

Reed’s Effort to Give Selec- tion to New Board Is Unsuccessful. The proceedings of the Board ef Super- visors were enlivened yesterday by a spir- ited contest Gver the election of a suc- cessor to the late John A. Russell. Charles W. Fay, the Mayor's private secretary, was closely pressed for the place by John A. Behan, but secured the plum, receiving the bare ten votes necessary to elect. This was only accomplished after some effective campaigning done with the Su- pervisors as late as midnight on Monday. Mayor Phelan lost no time in springing the job to secure a soft’berth for his man. No sooner had the minutes been read than Phelan said: We might as well at this time as at any other proceed to the election of a clerk. Reed raised the point of order that the rules required a regular routine, and that the election of a clerk should come under the head of public business or be consid- ered immediately, but under suspension of the rules. Prompted by his chief, Braun- hart moved that the becard proceed to thé election of a clerk. Reed alone voted flo, and nominations were declared in order. Connor nominated Fay and Dwyer per- formed a similar service for John A. Be- han. In nominating John Ryan, Reed made a plea for his election on the ground that it would comply with civil service provisions, he having been an assistant clerk for iwenty years. He said: The greatest breach of civil service doctrine would be the election of Mr. Fay, a man who bas no qualification in the line of experfence for the place. Why is the board in session to-day? ~Stmply to prevent the succeeding board from appointing its own clerk. The only reason for electing one man is that he is the satrap of a political boss, who repre- sents a certain faction, and that he can make a political slate without breaking it. John A. Russell taught his subordinates their duties, but subordinates will teach their su- rerfor his duty if Fay Is elected. The vote was then put, with the follow- ing result: First ballot! For Fay—Braunhart, Conror, Curtls, D'Ancona, Jennings, McCarthy, Staf ford and Tobin—8. For Behan—Booth, Brandenstein, Comte, Dwyer, Fontana and Wilson—8. For Ryan—Reed—1. On the second ballot Fontana changed his vote to Fay, giving the latter ninc. Comte then said that he realized that Be- han could not be elected, so he voted for Fay, all of which was in the programme, giving Fay the necessary ten votes. Box- ton voted for Ryan and Reed changed his vote to Fay for the purpose of giving no- tice of reconsideration. The Mayor ruled that a resolution to appoint a clerk could not be reconsidered after Braunhart raised the point of order. “Your point of order seems to be well taken,” said the Mayor, and he joined in the Jaugh that followed. “I make the point,” said Reed, “that your Honor cannot pass on this matter, and that it is only in the province of your successor, who will preside at the next meeting.” Brandenstein advised that Reed could appeal from the decision of the chair, but realized that it was hopeless. Later in the meeting Fay appeared, and ‘having qualified assumed the duties of his position. ¢ DIMMICK CASE BEFORE FEDERAL GRAND JURY Inquiry Into the Alleged Theft of Thirty Thousand Dollars From the Mint. The United States Grand Jury spent the greater part of yesterday's session in taking testimony in the matter of the alleged theft by Walter N. Dimmick of $30,000 il coin from the United States Mint. Superintendent Leach was the most important witness. During_the morning session of the United States District Court Attorney George D. Collins made a motion that a date be set for the trial of Dimmick upon two counts of an indictment, the third ! count of which had been quashed. TUnited States District Attorney Wood- worth stated that the matter of a third indictment charging the theft of $30,000 was then before the Grand Jury, and that if an Indictment should be brought in against Dimmick on that charge the in- dictment mentioned by Mr. Collins would be the subject of a nolle prosequi. Judge de Haven thereupon denied Collins’ mo- tion. —_—————— Norton’s Wicked Ways. Henry J. Norton, a non-union ma- chinist at the Risdon Irgn Works, went into Jesse Marks' saloon on Market street about 6 o’clock yesterday and.while putting a nickel in a slot machine the coin fell to the floor. He ordered Wil- ilam_ Ashmore, the bartender, to pick it up, but the bartender declined. Norton puiled a revolver out of his pocket and threatened to shoot Ashmore’s head off if he did not pick up the coin. Policeman Clark and Special cer Kelly arrested Norton for threats to kill, but when the | case was called in Judge Conlan’s court | yesterday morning Ashmore refused to swear to a complaint and the case was dismissed. Half-Fare Privilege Is Extended. The Market Street Railway Company sent a communication to the Board of Superyisors yesterday announcing that haif fare tickets will.be.accepted from ! school children on Saturdays.
