Changes in the Specifications ‘Will Be Officially In- quired Into. The State Board of Harbor Commission- ers took official cognizance at its meeting vesterday of The Call's expose of unlaw- tul changes of specifications in the con- struction of piers Nos. 19, 21, 23 and 25, by | which favorites of Governor Gage reaped financial benefit. I'he board directed Chief Engineer L. | D. Norton to file a report on the work in question at the meeting of the board Sat- urday morning. This report shall give in detail all changes made in the specifica- tions, together with data showing whether such’changes, it any, were to tne advan- lage or detriment of the Stafe. ''he Call's charges were brought up by President Kilburn after the transaction of the routine business. He said the mat- ter was of sufficient gravity to engage the attention of the board. He desired that some sort of inquiry should be made in order to arrive at the facts. Commissioner Kirkpatrick echoed the sentiment of Kilburn. He said: This board was entitled to believe that the specifications were being adhered to by the engineer and contractor. ''he reports of the engineer and inspector were favorable and as far as I am concerned I had no knowledge of any changes in the specifications having been made. ~After a contract has been awarded this board has no power to change specifications in any particular whatsoever. ‘The inspector upon whose reports we relied came to us highly recommended and we had no reason to suppose he would file misleading reports. I think this | board should appoint a committee whose duty it shall be to find out In what respect the specifications were changed and who profited by reason of such change. Attorney James Budd, as counsel for the hoard, suggested that Engineer Nortoa be asked to report such changes in the | specifications as he had cognizance of. | “That will not do, in my judgment,’ | sald Kirkpatrick. *“‘He has already re- | i | ported to the board that the specifications How, then, could we -5 were not changed. get anything new from him Budd answered that this was the legal | course to pursue, “If the report is un- | satisfactory to the board,” he resumed, | “there are other methods that may be . |adopted. If the report should be wrong there are assistants who might inquire af | into the matter and submit reports to the SSELS WHICH WILL BE CON- | beard.” D i VERTED INTO TANK STEAMERS | “I suggest,” said Kilburn, “that the en- - ‘ siasle ST, | gineer make his report by next Saturday FOR TRANSPORTATION OF OIL. and let us know the precise facts.” i | Budd inquired of Engineer Norton - | Inspector Duff would be in a position to | Smith, for st | EnOW if the specifications were changed, 3 and on receiving an affirmative reply he suggested that Duff be invited to file a svpplementary report.

She had $650, and Charles Martin, a supposed friend, induced her to place the money in his care. Soon after getting the money Mar- tin left the city and went to Washing- tor. leaving her penniless. He wrote to her that he would soon send her back the money, and she stopped the com- plaint in the hope that Martin would ful- 1ill his promise. He failed to do so, and a friend advised her to surreptitiously leave | the house as she was unable to pay her { bill of $123, and she dld so aided by mes- senger boys. The Judge continued the further hearing of the case till May 31 —_—e Tivoli Stars at the Rifle Range. There will be great doings at Shell Mound Park to-day. The amateur sharp- shooters of Germania Schuetzen Club are to hold their annual shoot. Captains of vessels plying on the bay have been warn- ed to keep well off the Berkeley shore: The reason, for the precautions is obvious when it is known the club numbers among its active members Ferris Hartman. “Doc” Leahy, Harry Cashman, Paul Steindorff, “Jim" Leahy, and other of the Tivoli Opera-house artists and attaches. As none of the members have ever pointed a rifle on the 200-yard range, it is even money betting the target will not be punc- tured. If_they can't shoot they all know how to have a good time and how to make their guests happy. The party will leave here on the 12 o'clock boat —————— Yosemite Via the Santa Fe.

The Standard Oil Company has pur- chased the plant, stock and good will of the Arctic Oil Works, disposing by that method of the largest of the independent oil companies on the Pacific Coast. The transfer of the property is now under way and will be consummated probably to-day. The sale includes the refining and storage plant at the Potrero works, the stock on hand, nineteen tank cars and wagons, horses and other prop- erty necessary to the business. It does not include the site of the works, 400x400 feet in size, nor the buildings. The Stand- ard Oil Company will remove whatever of the plant will be useful to its present works and will abandon the Potrero works, where twenty men are nows given employment. Negotiations for the deal have been in progress some weeks, being conducted by ‘William 8. Miller, treasurer of the Stand- ard Oil Company, and owners of the Arc- New York. . The Arctic Oil Company has gradually disposed of branches of its business until now the corporation is without a line and without the site _and _ buildings out by the Union Iron Works. Its whaling fleet had been disposed of to the Pacific Steam ‘Whaling Company and its salmon can- neries and cannery steamers to the Pa- cific Packing and Navigation Company. Its ofl business included the purchase, re- by manufacturing, | tic Oil Company, resident in Seattle and | property other than | fining and sale of whale and sperm of the manufacture of lubricating oil an the purchase and sale of mineral oils. This is disposed of to the Standard Oil Company and the competing corporation retires from the field. ““The Arctic Oil Worl owners decide to retire from business,” Treasurer Mil- ler of the Standard Oil Company said yesterday, “and they made us a proposi- tion which we liked and the purchase was made. We shall not maintain the Potre- ro works. Everything serviceable will be moved to our own plant. There was no war of rates or freezing out or anything of that sort.” Want Flowers to Dgcorate Graves. The Memorial day committee appeals to the public for donations of cut flowers decorating the graves of the nation’s de- parted heroes in San Francisco. As there are more than 4000 graves to be decorated here this year, the labors of the commit- tee far exceed the task accomplished in previous years. In the National Ceme- tery at the Presidio alone there are 2 graves, where but a few years ago there were not more than as many hundreds The ladies of the G. A. R. Relief Corps have kindly volunteered their services in sorting and preparing the flowers for dis- tribution. They will be at Metropolitan Hall, on the lower floor, Jessfe-street en- trance, on the morning of next Thursday, May 29, to receive flowers, and citizens are requested to contribute by leaving the flowers at the hall. —_—————— Stole From Their Employers. Herman Windell and Michael Burke were convicted by Judge Mogan yester- day on six charges of petty larceny, and each sentenced to three months in the County Jail on the first charge and thirty days on each of the other five charges. Windell was employed as a bookkeeper and Burke as a porter by Rountree, Pe- terson & Jones, hardwara merchants, T4l Bryant street. They stole locks and hinges from their employers and pawned the plunder to get money for drink. —_— e ——— 60 Cents on the Dollar And less will buy the newest and best of furniture at Pattoslen’s.
