The Supervisors’ Finance Committee recommended last night that the building of a new County Jail to replace the Broadway structure be incorporated in the proposed bond issue for municipal improvements. The proposition was fa- vored by Police Commissioner Newhall and Chief of Police Wittman, who were present at the meeting. Chalrman Bran- denstein declared the present building a disgrace to the. community. The committee reported in favor of the Mayor’s recommendation that the position of cashier be created in the license de- partment of the Tax Collector’s office at a salary of $150 per month. Brandenstein opposed the ordinance on the subject on tne ground that the appointment should come from the civil service list. Super- visors Wilson and Loughery vVoted in fa- vor of the passage of the ordinance. Hugo | Herzer wili be appointed to the place. | “Tax Collector Smith requested that the | license orders be revised in order that he may proceed against certain people who | evade payment of licenses. Among these | are storers of petroleum, raliroad ticket | agents and advertising agents. Smith | | was instructed to act under the ordinances as he finds them. Police Commissioner Newhall and Chief of Police Wittman addressed the commit- tee in favor of the proposal to provide for the stabling of the police patrol horses and wagons by the city in & municipal buflding. The committee will recommend that a sum be set aside for that purpose in the next budget. Chief Wittman stated that the present cost for stabling was $20 per month for each horse, and it is fig- ured that if the city build its own stable the cost will be but $§8. The Chief of Po- lice will make an estimate of the cost of the innovation and report to the commit- tee. Sheriff Lackmann was authorized to enter into a contract with J. Oliva for the rental of thirty-four acres of land in front of Jail No, 2. In return for the use of the land Ollva agrees to furnish vege- tables to the three county jails. Illegally Collects Premiums. John Held, a guest at the St. Nicholas Hotel, swore to a complaint in Judge Fritz's court yesterday charging Julian Condol with obtaining money by false pretenses. Condol until January 13 was an agent of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Compahy at Stockton, when he was asked to send in his r ation. He came here and it is alleged collected premiums from Held and others by representing that he was still in the employment of the company. To Lectureon Labor Troubles. George W. Dickie of the Union Iron ‘Works will deliver a lecture this evening at Academy of Sciences Hall on the sub- ject, “The Feud Between the Employer and the Employed.” The lecture will be ven under the auspices of the Economlic ague. months in New York. It was the one big hit of the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. “Fiddle-Dee-Dee” is' a most pretentious ecenic production and will be put on here with the exactness characteristic of all Weber & Field's burlesaues. Judging from reports the play will un- doubtedly meet the approval of San Fran- cisco’s theater-goers.

Captain Morse, Chief Signal Officer of the Department of California, received orders from the War Department yester- day to open negotiations for the installa- tion of a system of wireless telegraphy between army statlons in Alaska. Great difficulties have - been experfenced in Alaska in attempting to maintain tele- graphic communication between the va- rious posts. The severe storms which prevail in that section of the country throw down poles so often that that method of telegraphing has proved use- less. The underground system has been tried and has also proved ‘of no practical value. It is deemed neccssary by the War Department that some means of communication between stations be estab- lshed and so wireless telegraphy pro- Inoters are to be given an opportunity to show what they can do. There are four routes mentioned. Route “A” is to be between Fort Davis at Nome City and some point on Stuart [sland ninety miles distant. Route “B'' 18 the referable alternative of route “A” and is to extend from Fort Davis to Fort St. Michael on St. Michael's Island, approxi mately 108 miles distant. Route **C" is to extend from Rampart to Winter House, on Tanana River, or some other conven- fent and suitable place near the mouth of Delta River, 136 miles’distant. Routo ‘D, the preferable alternative of route *C is to extend from Fort Gfbbon to some point cn Tanana, which is 166 miles dis- iant. The station at the latter place must be at or near the mouth of Delta River, or at Bates Rapids and must be at some point accessible to boats. - It is required that the system be in- stalled on route “A’ or rout 3 3 Y September 1 and on route ““C" or “D"” by October-1. Preliminary and final tests before offi- cers of the Signal Service must be made on the Atlantic Coast before any of the bidders can attempt to install their sys- tems. The military authorities are confident that wireless telegraphy will solve the perplexing problem of Alaskan communi- cation. A system has been in operatioy betweén Alcatraz Islandvand Fort Mason for nearly two years and glves perfect satisfaction. It is hence expected that the new project will be carried out with- out any difficulty. Claims He Was Swindled. George H. Booth appeared in Judge Tritz's court yesterday on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. He is accused by W. E. Payne, a conductor on the Kearny-street line, with obtaining from him by representing that his uncle, George Greene, at ashington, D. C., could get a Government position for Payne, and_the money was needed to pave the way. Payne claims that the rep- resentations were false. It is alleged that several other conductors have been vie- titmized by Booth in the same way. The case was partly heard yesterday and con- tinued till to-day. | ing scenes ahd the stage settings are be- | ing expressly arranged for the production by well-known artists, and what with the wealth. of catchy music, pretty girls im- ported from Broadwa BOrgeous Ccos- lumes, new dances and efficient orchestra there 1s no -reason why the production should not prove one of the big successes of the season. Here are a few of the novelties offered for consideration: ‘““The Posev Girls," “The Mexican Dancers,” *‘The Shirt " “The Manicure Girls,” “The Hoftman Barr's String of Beauties, e Travesty on the Floro- dora Sextet,”” “The Wonderful Acting St. Bernard Dog," “Anthony and_Cleopatra Burlesque'' and the Weber & Fleld com- edians and comediennes, including Harry James, who for ten years has been iden- tified with all the Weber & Field plays; Maud Amber, who is indorsed as a suc- cessful rival of the musical Lilllan Rus- sell; Barney Bernard, a whimsical He- brew impersonator; Bolb and Dill, Ger- man mimics, who are said to equal Weber and Field, and Harry Hermsen and Wini- fred Blake, comedians. » It is the intention of the management to put on a travesty in conjunction with each of the principal productions and from the amount of money expended and the acknowledged excellence of the at- tractions a merry and prosperous time SYNDICATE WILL BAISE THE BID Sutro Heirs Object to Sale of Land Near College Tract. Louis Lipman and Isaac Liebes, who with several other prominent merchants of this city made an offer of $300,000 for | twelve blocks of land, near the Affiliated i Colleges, belonging to the Sutro estate, { will not get the property unless they in- crease their bid or the plans of a certain syndicate now In course of organization fail. The bid for the property was made by them several weeks ago and the mat- ter came up for confirmation in Depart- ment 9 of the Superior Court yesteraay. An objection was made to the confirma- tion of the sale by Attorney Garret Mec- Enerney, who, as representative of five of the Sutro heirs, announced that if the | sale was postponed for a few days he | would secure an offer at least ten per cent higher than the bid of Messrs. Lip- man and Liebes. McEnerney referred to Attorney John 8. Partridge, who was present as_the repre- sentative of the prospective bidders. Par- tridge sald that he was in court as a | representative of a syndicate now being formed for the purpose of purchasing the property in question. He said the syndi- cate would offer more than $300,000 for the land as soon as its organization was com- pleted, which would be in the course of the next few days. Judfile Coffey thereupon refused to con- firm the sale and postponed actlon in the matter until next Wednesday. —_— IROQUOIS CLUB REBUKES DEMOCRATIC SUPERVISORS Three Members of the Board Who Voted for High Water Rates Are Criticiged. At a meeting of the Iroquois Club, heid last night at the headquarters in Pythian Castle, resolutions were adopted con- demning the action of three Democratic Supervisors in voting for the water order recently passed by the board. The com- mittee on resolutions brought in a ma- jority and a minority report on the sub- ect and quite a heated debate ensued. ln-llrz after considerable argument, the minority report, charging the three Supervisors in question with having broken their pledge, and calling upon the next Democratic convention to refrain from nominating them again, was adopted by & unanimous vote of the club. A reso- lutfon favoring the passage of the bill in- creasing the pay of letter carriers was also adopted ——— Chamber of Commerce Meet: At a special meeting of the Chamiber of Commerce held yesterday it was decided DAY, MARCH 29, 1902, GLAIMS BURIAL ORDER 15 VALID McEnerney ArguesUpon Cities’ Exercise of Police Power. - Says Prohibition of Inter- ments in Municipalities Should Be Upheld. The argument on the constitutionality of the ordinance prohibiting burials in the city and county of San Francisco was re- sumed before Judges Cook, Dunne and Lawlor sitting in bank yesterday. Considerable interest is being taken in the outcome of the litigation in uch as a judgment of the court declaring the ordinance valid will close the cemeteries’ The case at bar is the appeal of George R, Fietcher, superintendent of the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery, who was fined $100 for violating the provisions of the ordinance. Kvery effort 1s being made by a strong | array of attorneys retained by the ceme- teries to have the judgment reversed and the ordinance declarea invalid. Attorney McEnerney, who represents | the Board of Supervisors, resumed his argument and proceeded to show why in his opinion the ordinance was valid and should be upheld. He contended that municipalities were privileged to exercise the same police powers in matters affect- ing them that the Legislature has in State matters. Resuming he sald in part: The very authorities cited by the learned counsel on the othen side in support of the contention that the ordinance is unreasonable admit the right of municipalities to abolish cemeteries. ‘This may be done not on the sole ground that'the cemeteries are nuisances, but on the additional ground that their abolish- ment is & proper exerclse of the police power, | of the legislative body of a municipality. I | hold that this vower has been couterred upon the Hoard of Supervigors of San Francisco, and it is conceded by the other side that municipalities have the right to exercise pow- ers conferred upon them by the Legislature. It is established by abundant authority that burfals may be prohibited in portions of muni- cipalities. There is reagon why this should be the case. The advance of urban population or the proximity of cemeteries to private resi- dences demand their removal. If you ean ex- clude cemegeries from one section of the city you can extlude them from another. The pro- hibition of burials in cities is a law older than the Christlan era. It was one of the laws promulgated by the Twelve Tables that the dead could not be burled within the walls of Rome. This was 500 years before Christ. It shows that the abiding places of the and the dead should be widely separated. McEnerney said that he expected onc day to see a law enacted which would make cremation compulsory. He dis- cussed a Boston case, in which it was held that crowded cities had the right to prohibit burlals, while the same privilege was denfed to sparsely settled communi- ving tles, The argument will be resumed Tuemlaf afternoon, when the matter will be finall y submitted for decision. Defendants Held to Answer. Cornelius O’'Brien was held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Con- lan yesterday on the charge of assault to ‘wmurder. He cut Edward Alvarado of 519 Vallejo street with a knife on March 17. Jong Din Hin was held to answer by Mogan on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. He struck his brother with a cleaver at 710 Jackson street on March 24 because his brother was making a nolse and disturbing the other roomers in the house. P —_—— Mechanics’ Institute Lecture.
