CO BRODKS RETAINS DISPUTED FEES Holds Money the Aud- itor Claims Should Be inrthe Treasury. Mayor Schmitz Demands Its Surrender by Former Treasurer. Former City Treasurer Brooks has got himself into trouble with the city gov- ernment because he has retained fees ag- gregating $881763 which the State law allows City Treasurers for collecting col- lateral inheritance taxes. While Brooks shields himself behind the State law, Auditor Baehr takes the ground that the charter prohibits a municipal official from receiving more than his regular compen- sation for his services. Baehr according- ly holds that there is a shortage of the amount named in the city treasury and that Brooks is responsible for it and must make it Eood. The maiter was called to the attention of Mayor Schmitz yesterday by Treas- urer McDougald. Schmitz was wroth be- cause he had not been notified' on Thurs- day, the day after the official count of the moneys in the treasury vauits was made. Mclougald cxplained that —the matter had shpped his memory. sShould Broonl retuse o return the money to the city| treasury Mayor Schmitz says that meanus will be found to compel him to do so. Brooks Gets Behind State Law. After the count of the money in the treasury was _concluded ~Wednesday 00Ks informed ‘I'reasurer MeDougald the 5 per cent commission which the State law allows him for_collecting collateral inheritance taxes. When Baehr asked where the - money was Brooks replied that it was on deposit in one of -the sav- Ings banks. Baehr then requested Brooks to return the money, but he: re- fused, saying: ““The State law allows me a commissior’ for collecting the taxes, and it is a mat- ter with which the city or its officials has absolutely nothing to do.” - Baehr said that the Supreme Court had as yet rendered no decision on the ap- pealed case of Assessor Dodge, who sued for $31,299 60 in commissions on poll taxes and was given a_favorable decision by the lower court. Brooks replied that he had a certificate of deposit for the $3817 63 and that he would turn it over to the court pending -the final decision in the Dodge case, which affects other kinds of commissions. Baehr, however, insisted tnat the money be returned to thé city vaults. Brooks further sald that he had acted in -the premises ' with the sanction of former Mayor Phelan and City Attorney Lane. Haehr says that both these officials deny giving Brooks any such verbal advice, They state that their opinfons are always given in writ- ing. In fact, City Attorney Lane.has ap- pealed the Dodge case to the Supreme Court on behalf of the city. Auditor Baehr Quotes Charter. Baehr cites the following sections of the charter in support of his contention that the money is held llegally: The: City Treasurer shall recelve an annual salary of $4000, which shall be full compen- sation for all his services. P The Treasurer shall not lend, exchange, use, 10 or with any bank, banker or person; nor pay out any part of such moneys nor allow the same to pass out of his personal custody | ~xcept upon demands. authorized by law or | ‘he. charter, and after they shall have been epproved by the’ Auditor. Brooks says that his actlon is legal ac- cording to the statute, that the fees do not belong to the city and that the State law is clear that t asurer shall re- ceive 5 per cent gf .the colfections. Brooks | SPMs pred T office, who atamned | of his pred€cessor in office, who retained | :flsl fiees whenevér: fhe” taxes were col- ected. " Auditor Baehr, However,, differs with Braoks and quotes the charter in defense | of his position. “Baehr holds that' Brooks had ‘o right to keep the fees by antici-, pating a favorable decision from the Sp preme Court. He further says -Brooks never made any returns. to the. Auditor of moneys collected for inheritance taxes, | and Brooks contends that as it was none of the city’s business the Auditor was pot concerned in the transactions. Mayor Schmitz Takes a Hand. Mayor Schmitz sent the following com- munication to Treasurer McDougald late yesterday afternoon, instructing him o | make an immediate demand on Brooks | for. the return of the money to the treas- ury: January 11, 1302 Informed that a shortage of 63 exists In the balance of moneys re- s on hand in the treasury of the city and county of San Francisco. This defieit is £ald to be due through the withdrawal by the late Treasurer, S. H. Brooks, of the sum mentloned as claimed commissions for the collection of collateral inheritance taxes. The ownership of, and right to thesé moneys as between the city and county of San Fran- cisco and the late Treasurer, is now in process of adjudication by the courts, and this money hould have remalined in the treasury until the final determination of the case in which these moneys are involved. It is your duty to de- mand of Mr. Brooks the Immediate return of the said sum so illegally drawn by him, and thereupon to deposit the same in the treasury, there to remain until the final judgment in the action above referred to. You will therefore make Immediate demand of Mr. Brooks for the return of the sajd sum. You will there- upon advise me immediately of your action In | the premlses and the result thereof. Yours very truly, EUGENE E. SCHMITZ, Mayor City and County of San Francisco. To Hon. J. E. McDougald, Treasurer City and County of San Franeisco. S The Mayor also wrote to former Treas- urer Brooks advising him to return the | money when formal demand is made upon | him for the amount by Treasurer Mc- Dougald. The letter is as follows: January 11, 1902 Mr. S. H. Brooks, 700 Broderick Street, City: Dear Sir—I am officlally advised that you have withdrawn from the treasury of the city and county of Sen Franmcisco the sum. of $8817 63 without warrant..) This sum, it is #aid, you claim to be due to you as commis- sions for the collection of collateral inharitance taxes. As the question o your right to these mon- eys is now in process of determinatiom by the courts, it apepart to me that your appropri- ation of this sum is improper and that you chould at once return it to the treasury of the city and county of San Francisco, there to re- main until final determination by the courts as to whether under the provisions of law the money belongs to you or the city and | county. I have called the attention of your | successor, the present Treasurer, to this mat- ter, and’ instfucted him to make formal de- mand upon you for the said amount. I trust that vou will be pleased to return the same without further action on the part of _this office, or of the city and county of San Fran- clsco. Whatever rights you may ‘have In the premises will be amply protected by allowing the money to remain in the treasury, where it rightfully belongs, until final judgment in the attion now pending. Yours Very truly, EUGENE E. SCHMITZ, Mayor City and County of Sen Francisco. The future course of the Mayor in the matter will depend upon the stand taken y Brcoks when McDougald makes de- mand for the return of the money. If Brooks returns it there will be an end to the controversy. Should he refuse to turn it into the treasury, to be there held pending a decision by the Supreme Court in . the ’Dod%; case, 'litigation is certain to follow. Mayor Schmitz says Brooks has no legal right to retain the fees, and he will take all legal means to compel him to return the money. St Corset Specials for This Week.

CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY EQUIPPED Necessary Preparation Completed for Strenuous Business Careers. HEALD'S BUSINESS COLLEGE GRADUATES FOR THE TERM ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1901, Continuous Demand for Young Men and ‘Women Who Have Been Trained at the College. HE following is a list of students who completed the courses indicated at Heald's Business College for the term ending December 31, 1901. The constant- ly increasing volume of business that has marked the commercial history of the vear has been reflected in the demand for graduates, which has been the heaviest in the history of the school, and far beyond ‘its capacity to supply. - Most of the recent graduates will be absorbed by the ‘com- merefal world within the next few weeks. Electrical,” Civil and Mining Engineer- ing, Assaying, Metallurgy and kindred sciences have for some time formed a part of the college's curriculum. The demand for young men and women with a knowledge of stenography and bookkeeping has exceeded the number avallable by from ten to twenty per month. Nearly all the graduates from the Civil and Mining Engineering Department are in employment or working for themselves. Those whose names are marked thus * are mlready im employment. ‘With few exceptions, these positions were secured on the recommenda- tion of the school. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.
