H. Fitzhugh, who came to this cit from the East last summer to fi'l the pos tion of assistant to Charles M. Hays of | the Southern Pacific, was appointed the | early part of this month vice president | and general manager of the Central Ver- | mont Railway. This is the position he re- signed when he came to S8an Francisco. | The announcement of the appointment | of Mr. Fitzhugh came to this city in the form of an official circular with the name of Charles M. Hays at the bottom. At the “yellow building” the circular was | handed around with much amusement, and the laugh was hearty over the idea that President Hays, though now the ex- | ecutive head of another read, still clings his custom of making startling an- uncements through the medium of of- ficial circulars. When Charles M. Hays came to fill the tion of president of the Southern Pa- d cials pass many pless nights, all owing to his pet fad uing circulars. circulars did ome regularly, but were published at 1al intervals ne 1.

[ R BAY PIRATES GROW BOLDER Chief Wittman Calls At- tention to Need for a Patrol Boat. 5 S. Chief of Police Wittman has been mak- ing a strenuous effort to secure a ‘“‘patrol boa¥” for the use of the department, but his energies in that direction have thus far ‘been futile. Last night during the meeting of the Police Commissioners the Chief stated that the patrolmen were un- able to break up the nefarious traffic car- ried on by the “bay pirates’” by reason of the fact that it did not possess a pa- trol boat. Secretary Cadwallader read a communi- cation from the Moraghan Oyster Com- pany, calling attenition to the ineflicient protection aiforded vessel owners along the water front, and more especially that portion designated as Channel street. The complaint stated that night after night craft lying at wharves or anchored close have been visited by ‘“‘bay pi- @ “wharf rats.” The communica- tion further stated that the Moraghan Oyster Company’s boat, the Governor M. B. M., berthed at the foot of Fourth and Chamnel streets, was entered last Satur-~ day night during the absence of the .cap- tain and engineer. The brass fastenings and Yale locks on the cabin were broken with a “jimmy”" and every stitch of cloth- ing, including bedding, mattresses and blankets and even old working clothes, together with the tools required in the operation of the nmfine engine, were stolen. Chief Wittman informed the Commis- sioners that it was impossible to capture the thieves or properly patrol the water front, as the department was without a boat. The Chief observed that Befijamin H. Lichtenstein, a member of the Grand Jury, was_in the room and he made an appeal to him to bring the matter before his body at the next session. { Lichtenstein promised to ald the Chief in_his effort to secure a boat. Frank Tuite, number 57 on the: civil service list, was sworn in as an officer to/| fill the vacancy caused by -the . dismissal of Policeman Crackbon. g Arthur Brooks, a colored -man, was granted permission to open clubrooms 0p- posite the Southern Pacific Railroad .Je- pot in order to accommodate the Pullman porters who enter this city - daily. In granting the request Brooks was told that/| if he permitted the use of razors or al- lowed “crap shooting” 'his license would be taken away. i Acting_upon a report submitted by Colonel J. B. Rawles. commandant of the Presidio, the Commissioners declined to renew the liquor licenses of saloon men who have places adjacent to the military reservation. The applications of the fol- lowing saloon-keepers were denied: Dave Tarpey, August Koenhucke. W. J. Alex- ander. Dennis W. Collins. Michael J. Col- lins, Press Anderson, Philin Kauft, Lewis P.

The writ of habeas corpus issued to Frahk J. Frayne, under which he sought to secure the custody of his 12-year-old daughter, Elizabeth ~Frayne, was dis- missed by Judge Graham yesterday. Mrs. 8. J.

John Valensolo, 1423% Kearny - street, swore to' a complaint in Judge Conlan's court -yesterday, charging Dr. V. D'Er- cole, 1604 Stockton street, with disturbing the peace. The warrant was given an officer to serve upon the physician. Valensolo in telling his story to Warrant and Bond Clerk Fitzpatrick said: I called upon my mother at §10 Union street Sunday night and found her sick. .| I went to C.: O. Fauda’s drug- store on the corner of Stockton and Union streets and asked him to recommend a physician, He recommended Dr. D'Ercole and I called at his office. He went to see my mother and wrote out-a prescription for her. My brother and I did not like the appearance of the medicine and we de- cided to call in another physician. “We called upon Dr. D'Ercole at office and I told him why we had cal in another doctor and that he need not Vvisit my mother again; He became very apgry and demanded his fee of $250. I objected to paying so much and he threw my_ brother out into the hallway, and. pulling a revolver out of his pocket and i,u at me, said he would blow my ead off if I did not at once pay him the fee he had' demanded. “I called out to my brother, but he could not get in, as the doctor had locked the door and we were alone in the office. 1 thought discretion the better part of valor and paid ‘him h.s fee. Then he un- locked the ‘door and I was glad to get away. Valensolo added -that he had thought the matter over for a day and had made up his mind to punish the doctor for the scare he had given him. his led EXAMINATION FOR PROMOTION.—The THIS WEEK 20% LADIES' POCKET BOOKS.

SPRING VALLEY - BIVES FIGURES {Financial Statement Is| | Filed With Board of | Supervisors. John Duffy, the driver who exchanged 35-year-old Mah Foo for an aged and de- créplt Chinaman while on the way from the Mail dock to the office of the United States Marshal, was held to answer yes- terday by United States Court Commis- sloner Heacock on the charge of aiding and abetting in the landing of a Chinese released later on $1500 bail. The evidence taken in the case showed very peculiar methods on.the part of th» Federal authorities in their attempts to enforce the exclusion act. It developed that after a coolie had been denied the privilege of landing by the Customs Col- lector and a writ of habeas corpus had been taken out, the coolie was handed over to a temporary employe of the Pa- cific Mail Steamship Company, and by such employe taken uptown in the vicin- ity of the Chinese quarter, then taken down to. the Apprajser's building and there delivered into the custody of the United The facts: evidence First, Mason 8. Blackburn, a Gov- crnment watchman, took Mah Foo out of the detention shed at the Mail dock and | showed the following delivered him to John Duffy. 20-year-old lad employed by Herbert Crichton, who does teaming for the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company, but who is neither an em- ploye of the company nor of the Govern- ment. Duffy ,was next seen at a photo- graph gallery on Kearny _street, near Commercial, where he had Mah Foo sit for his photograph. Half an hour later Duffy delivered in person to a deputy United States Marshal an aged Chinese coolie as Mah Foo. On the writ of ha- beas corpus which Duffy handed to the deputy with the prisoner was a photo- graph of the substituted coolie. Deputy United States Marshal George Burnham happened to be in the photo- graph gallery when Duffy brought in the real Mah Foo to be photographed, and when Burnham returned to the Marshal's office half an hour later he saw the pre- tended Mah Foo in_the detention room. Ex-Judge S. C. Denson appeared for Duffy, but reserved his defense for the trial. —_— civil service .examination for promotion from policeman to corporal in the Police Department will be held in the Girls’ High School Febru- ary 28, 1802, at 1 p. m.

Kellogg named some of the ofticers and directors of the company and saia that the Suburban Company is furnishing the Spring Valley Company with water under contract. Schussler explained tuat the properties of the first named company had not been in- cluded in the valuation of previous years because it was not deemed advisable to make the information public. A resolu- tion was adopted directing the Suburban Water Company to furmish an itemized list of its properties to the board. Schussler was questioned with the ob- Ject of ascertaining if the expense of sup- plying water to the farmers of Alameda County by the Suburban Company wus charged to the consumers of San Fran cisco in the water rates. Schussler de- nied that such was the case, but said that the water was supplied to the farmers in- stead of paying outright for the water rights acquired by the company. Supervisor Brandenstein, who was ap- pointed to interrogate for the board, re- quested Schussler to furnish a statement of the properties acquired and the moneys expended in construction work by the Spring Valley Company in the Alameda Creek system since the last investigation. Schussler he!d that it would not be fair to figure rates on the cost of any work, as it was the duty of the Board of Works to appraise the alameda properties owned by the comp: City Engineer Gruncky stated that the company had failed to furnish a list of the properties and no | appraisement was possible. Schussler finally agreed to prepare a statement of (he cost of the Alameda sys- tem. Brandenstein then changed the line of inquiry in an endeavor to find if any of the properties lsted as assets by tae company are not now in actual use. The board then adjourned until to-night, when Ithe investigation of gas rates will be commenced. e Chamberlain Recital.
