Measure Contemplates Pool- selling Inside the Rac- ing Inclosure. That another effort will be made to re- open the Ingleside racetrack was made apparent at yesterday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors, when Supervisor John A.

The amendment, should it even- tually become a law, will permit of gambling within the Inclosure where horse-racing is carried on for a limited thre.

After the bill had been scanned by Mayor Schmitz it was referred to the Poios Committee, which will meet Thu afternoon to consider its merits. The bill is as follows: Be it ardained by the pecple of the city and county ef San Francisco: Segtion 1. Ordinance No. 86, approved May 34, 1800, is hereby amended to read as foi- lows: Section 1.

Attorney Baggett, representing the cor- poration, sald that some 27,000 cross tles had been purchased and negotiations were pending for the purchase of the necessary rails so as to begin the actual work. Application was made to the Board of Works for a permit to begin opera- tions, but the application was denied on the ground that the official grades had not been established. Baggett asked tnat instead of repealing the franchise the board direct the Board of Works to estab- lish the grades and issue & permit to the | company to do the work. | *We are ready and willing to lay the {rails on the streets as they now are” said Baggett, “and subject ourselves to the penalities of such a course. If the grades are fixed we will bind ourselves to spend the $25,000 required by the ordi- | nance within sixty or ninety days. It is | the duty of the Board of Works to estab- | lish the grades and to grant us a permit | to pegin construction.” Livery Stable Ordinance. | The bill prohibiting persons who hire a | vehicle or horse from defrauding livery stable keepers was re-referred to the Ju- diciary Committee. The ordinahce appointing Joseph E. O'Donnell as special counsel to assist the City Attorney in recovering certain moneys due the city by the State was | defeated. The ordinance declaring that public in- tersst demands that the accepted streets | and avenues of the city be repaved at a | cost of $500,000 was postponed until the | City Attorney’s opinion regarding the method of procedure for bonded im- provements is obtained. The following ordinances were finally passed: Ordering the paving of O'Farrell street, be- | tween Stockton and Powell. Providing for the purchase of land from the Southern Pacific Company for $50 to extend Arlington street to Berkshire street. Authorizing the appointment for four months of a clerk to reviss the ordinances and to suggest charter amendments; also the appoint- ment of a stenographer for the water and light investigations, Van Ness Avenue Improvements. The ordinance authorizing the Board of Works to beautify the central strip of Van Ness avenue between Bush and Plne and to reduce the width of the sidewalks on the block was re-referred to the Street Committee, as many property owners on | the avenue protest against the project. The Health Board trensmitted a copy of its resolution setting forth the emer- gency for a telephone system in the City and County Hospital. The Department of Electricity trans- | mitted a list of persons and corporations furnishing heat, light or power to the city. A number of members of the Univer- sity Mound District and Bay View Im- provement Club signified by postal card their indorsement of the resolution of the club requesting that obstructions in the district be removed. The petition of the Sunset District Im- provement Club that five arc lights be erected in the heights above M street was referred to the Light Committee. Boxton opposed the granting of exten- sion of time to contractors on their con- tracts for street work. Boxton demanded to know the reason why the Street Com- mittee recommended them, and Chairman Curtis explained that the applications for extensions were reported favorably only when there were valld reasons for the same. Lectures on Japan’s Fish. | Professor David Starr Jordan lectured last evening before the California Acad- emy of Sciences at its rooms on Market street, the subject of his address being “The Fish and Fisheries of Japan.” Pro- fessor Jordan described the geographical situation of the land of the Mikado and interestingly told of the hundreds of va- | rious kinds of fish that inhabit the waters of the coast.

Recorder Godchaux will shortly petition the Board of Supervisors for funds to be appropriated from the urgent necessity fund to pay his additional copyists, whom he has had to employ on account of in- creased business. Godchaux says that the appropriation made by the Supervisors for twenty copyists was $1916, and now | that five more must be empioyed more | money is required to pay for them. | To-day we start a sale of a lot of neckties we wish to clear out right away in order to make room for our incoming spring stock.

CASSERLY placed his resigna- tion from the position to which he was appointed two years ago by former Mayor Phelan in’the hands of Mayor Schmitz yesterday. The resignation was accepted and his Honor will lose no time in appointing a succes- sor. It is common rumor around the City Hall that Casserly simply forestalled his own removal at the hands of Mayor Schmitz by resigning. The chief execu- tive has been quietly pursuing investiga- tions of some of Phelan’s Commissioners for offensive partisanship and neglect of duty. His Honor had recelved reports that Casserly was not devoting his en- tire time to the duties of his office as the charter prescribes. The Mayor sent for Casserly, and the latter had an audience w his chief yesterday. “I understand, Mr. Casserly,” sald his Honor, without any preliminaries, “‘that you have attended but one meeting of the Board of Education since the beginning of the year.” Casserly replied that the Mayor had correctly informed. ou are aware of the charter provi- sion which makes it obligatory upon mem- bers of the board to attend strictly to their duties. I understand that you have been very derelic but before the Mayor could proceed any further Casserly dove down into his pocket and bringing up a paper sald: ““Well, I suppose things will not be very agreeable for me any longer, so I have prepared my resignation, which is to be cifective at your pleasure.” Casserly then harded his resignation to Mayor Schmitz, it being as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20, 1002.

I therefore tender you my resignation as a mem- ber >f the Board of Education, to take effect at your pleasure. Respectfully yours, JOHN B. CASSERLY. It is understood that the intention of Mayor Schmitz to remove Casserly was prompted by the complaints of a number of teachers who were recently placed on trial for certain chargey and afterward dismissed from the department. Casserly always acted as judge advocate at the trials and was at all times arbitrary in his rulings against the .accused peda- sogues. The next two Commissioners who may feel the force of the Mayor’s displeasure are P. H. McCarthy of the Civil Service Board, who opposed the Union Labor pa. ty at the last election, and Colonel Me: dell, against whom charges of advancing infirmity have been brought by the Fed- kindest feelings existing, 1 hope, betweer eration of Mission Improvement Clubs. D B o 2 2 e e o e e e 2 ) INGREASES GOST OF PESTHOUSE City Engineer Reports on Necessity of a Roadway. The Board of Public Works transmit- ted to the Board of Supervisors yester- lday a report of the City Engineer in the matter of the offer of an eight-acre tract of land in Bay View' as a site for a pest- house. The report demonstrates that the offer to sell the site for $10,000 will be in- creased by $6605 in order to make neces- sary improvements, The Partridge es- tate site on the Bay View farm, which has a number of buildings already erect- ed, offered to the city for $12,500, was originally accepted by the board, but res- idents ‘in the vicinity have protested against. a pesthouse being located on the siue, and so procureéd the offer of another site, which offer is now before the board. The.report says: The right of way for a road to the site should commence at Thirty-third avenue and 1 street'south, skirting the slope of the hills ‘The probable cost ‘work woilld 'be: Fences, 2400 feet, 2000 feet in length, of ‘the 13 road, 30; sewer to bay, ‘$815; water from well on a_lot 3300 feet Irom ‘the site, $1700; total, $5605.

The Ban Francisco Athletic Club was | granted a permit for a boxing contest in January, provided that the permit may be revoked should the board have evi- dence of any collusion or fraud. ‘Wilson objected to granting a special permit to erect bay windows in bulldings on Willlam street, as the street is less than thlrt{-flve feet in width and there is-a--prohibitory ordinance on the sub- ject. The permit was granted, however.

Curtis said it looked like holding a club over the Judge to force his removal to the Hall of Justice. Judges Must Obey Board. Braunhart explained that the accommo- dations In the Hall of Justice were ample for the accommodation of the three crim- inal departments of the Superlor Court. In addition the Board of Works is about to expend $1000 to make further improve- ments. He held that the authority of the Board of Supervisors was supreme in the matter of assigning quarters to officials, and that even Judges were amenable to the beard's authority.

Radical Action by the City’s Executive Will Be Resisted. The removal of the physicians compos- ing the City Board of Health has been decided upon by Mayor Schmitz, and un- less the unforeseen happens proceedings to that end will be begun within the next ten Jays by the city’s executive. | 7'he Mayor s not willing to admit that | he has arrived at a conclusion in the mattel. In fact, he says he has not yet made up his mind just what to do. *1 know, however, what 1 am doing,” he said yesterday. “I am investigatng the Board of Health because 1 beneve it 1s my duty and becausg the public inter- est demands a searching inquiry.

Has Surprise in Store. That the Mayor has a surprise in store for tne health officials has been apparent to his_political advisers and friends for some duys past. Whether by accident or aesign, it is~known that the Mayor and several prominent State oincials held a long conference a few days since, at whreh the sole toplc of conversation was the local Board of Heaith. Tne Mayor desired to be well informed upon the acts of the board during the bubonic plague excitement of three years ago. It is said the Mayor was furnished with consider- able unpublished data relative to the op- erations of the board during that period of terror which resulted in the quaran- tining of California by all the world, and that such action as he may take in the premises will be largely predicated upon the information thus obtained. The Board of Health -omposed of the following named physicians: J. M. Wil- liamson, R. W. Baum, V. P. Buckley, W. D. McCarthy, W. B. Lewitt and James W. Ward. With the exception of the last named all were reappointed to office by Mayor Phelan when the charter went into effect two years ago, and under the charter provisions their terms of office are for four years. Dr. Ward was recently appointed by Mayor Schmitz. His fellow ! members, notably Drs. Willlamson and | Baum, have held office for five years. Dr. ‘Williamson was particularly active dur- ing the bubonic plague scare, gnd his quarantine of Chinatown brought the city into unenviable notoriety throughout the East and resulted in a tremendous | loss to the business not only of San Fran- cisco, but of the entire State. Antagonism Between Boards. The antagonism existing between the local and State Boards of Health is also being inquired into by the Mayor with a view of determining where the fault lies. The Mayor holds that these bodies should act in complete harmony, and that if this is not the case the inferests of the city are not subserved. The management of the County Hospital, which, during the term of the present board, has been pro- lific of considerable scandal, is a matter which is receiving the attention of the executive, with the sole purpose of fixing the responsibility. That the Mayor has been supplied with considerable testimony, oral and documentary, on these points, is generally admitted about the City Hall. Inquiry among the members of the Board of Health last night developed the information that any action the Mayor might take concerning the board causes little fear. The physiclans treat the pend- ing inquiry lightly and assert that as they were appointed for four years they would in all probability remain on deck for the .remainder of their terms. Although no statement to that effect was made, the inference was unmistakable that any radi- cal action of the Mayor involving the sus- pension or removal of the members of the board would be resisted in the courts. That this will be a test case to' deter- mine the powers of the Mayor in the premises is a certainty. While it is conceded among the poli- ticians that the Mayor has determined upon the removal of the board, his refusal to formally admit that fact is based upon the theory that he does not desire to give away his hand in advance and thereby supply the health officials with ammuni- tioh against himself, and the use of | which must inevitably result in protracted | litigation. | 'Burials Within City Limits: City Attorney Lane advised the Health Board yesterday that the ordinance pro- hibiting the burial of dead within the city limits does not apply to the tem- porary depositing of bodies in recelving vaults, awalting cremation or transporta- tion elsewhere or the perfecting of funeral arrangements, or for other reason neces- sitating delay in the final disposition of the body. £ ———————— Peddlers Sentenced. Thomas Cunnane and George Murphy, peddlers, who were convicted of petty larceny by Judge Mogan for stealing five sacks of beans from O'Callaghan, Nelson & Co,, 116 Davis street, were each sen- tenced yesterday to four months in the County Jail. urphy got an additional four months for embezzling twenty sacks of potatoes from Place & Wayland, 415 Davis street. —_———— Knocked Down and Robbed.

There is a legion of applicants for the place in the Custom-house made vacant by the death of E. B. Jerome. The posi- tion is worth contending for, as the sal- ary 1s $4000 a year, with fair prospect of life tenure. The office known as chief clerk of the Collector is in the civil ser- vice list, but the Treasury Department may take it out of the list and so render eligible applicants who are now in the service and who have not sustained the ordeal of civil service examination. The appointment will be made by Col- lector Stratton. Reports that the subject will' be referred to Washington are mis- leading. Among the men who have filed request for appointment are: Cress Unger, now acting as .chief clerk; George Cope, auditor; Clement Perkins, nephew of Senator Perkins; W. B. Hamilton, special deputy; Charles H. Blinn, indorsed by General W. H. L. Barpes; C. J. Evans, examiner of merchandise; A. N, Frick, chiet deputy in the internal revenue office under John C. Lynch; D. J. O'Leary, president of Young Men's In- stitute; Colonél George W, Babeock of Ala- meda, Colonel Thomas H. Craig; 8. L. Woos- ter, chief weigher, and C. L. Brown, drawback clerk, Clement Perkins, W. B. Hamilton and Colonel Babcock are not on the eligible list under civil service requirements. Col- lector Stratton inclines to the opinion that the Secretary of the Treasury may take the position from the list so that the wants of all candidates may have impar- tial consideration. The salary of the chief clerk was for- merly $3600 per annum, but it was in- creased to $4000, and will probably remain at_the latter figure. The salary would not be considered high in the New York Custom-house, where ten of the deputies receive each a salary of $8000 per annum, but the figure is regarded as good in the San Francisco Custom-house. The duties of the office are important. In the absence of the Collector the chief clerk can, under the Jaw, sign checks for money. The Government in varfous branches of the public service disburses | vast sums of money through the Collector of Customs. | Collector Stratton has no hesitancy in saying that the chief clerk must be gen- jal and courteous. Cress Unger has been in the Custom-house for many, many years, and every vear's service has added to his fund of geniality. Long con- tinued service under the Government de- velops ' surliness in some, adipose In many and geniality in but few. Charles H. Blinn, who is backed by General | Barnes, is on the list of genials and like- | wise on the list of eligibles. He has won every election for quartemaster of George H. Thomas Post since the organization of that band of veterans. Recently Colonel Babcock was a_candidate for Pension ‘Agent to succeed Colonel Jesse B. Fuller, but now he comes to the front as an as- pirant for the chief clerkship in the Cus- tom-house. Alameda County, where the colonel dwells, is the favored zone in the award of Federal patronage.

A warrant was sworn out yesterday afternoon in Judge Mogan's court for the arrest of Oxen Heydenfeldt, 1040 Post street, on the charge of disturbing the peace. The complaining witness is his sister, Miss Elfran Heydenfeldt. His wife. at first wanted to have him arrested on the charge of battery, but when she was made aware of the fact that she would have to appear and testify in the Police Court she declined to swear to the com- plaint. So Miss Heydenfeldt swore to the complaint charging him with disturbing the peace. Miss Heydenfeldt sald her brother had that morning drawn $3000 from the bank and was, she had been informed, spend- ing it recklessly along the ‘“‘cocktail route.” Her object chiefly was to get him arrested to prevent him squandering the money. Heydenfeldt is a son of the deceased millionaire capitalist, Solomon P.
