Manufacturing in large quantiies and buying by the carload enable Pattosien’s cut the prices so much lower than those who must buy in limited quantities. The confiderce of the masses in Pattosien’s is the key that cpens the way to dispose of these large quantities, and so the live nciple of trade, “the more you sell the more you buy, and the more you buy the cheaper you can sell,” is exempli- fied and maintained. The application of | 1 has | this principle is the power that placed Pattosien’s in the front rank in the Carpet and Furniture trade on the Pacific Coast. It is a pleasure 1o see the crowds of sensible Fousekeepers hastening to se- cure the shonest bargains spread out be- fore their eyes.

GOURT REBUKES EA-JUDGE NOVES Crific'zs His Decision Fa- vor.ng a Senator’s Relative. Violation of Important Rule of Admiralty by Nome Jurist. The United States Circuit Court of Ap- { peals has han down a decision rebuk- ing Ex-Judge Noyes of Nome City and his faverites and reversing the judg- ment rendere by Noyes in favor of James L. Galep against the steamship Oregon and the White Star Steamship Ccmpany. The libel was brought by Galen to recover damages for the loss of freight which it was alleged that the respondent failed to deliver. The amount of damages was fixed at $2000. 5 An amended libel was filed by C. A 8. Frost, who swore to it on information and bellef, and the respondents flled ex- ceptions. The exceptions were overruled by Noyes and the respondents filed an answer in which is set up the uncertain- ties of and inconsistencies in the aver- ments of the libel and denying that the merchandise was lost through careless- ness. The answer concluded by pro- pounding to the libelant certain neces- sary interrogatories., These were not answered and the libelant moved for a | judgment on the pleadings, which motion was granted by Noves in the following | words: Upon reading and filing plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the pleadings in this cause, and it beingk ordered by the court that th® said motion be submitted on written briefs * * and it appearing to the court that the answer of the defendant filed In sald cause is sham and frivolous and that the said answer does not state’facts sufficient to constitute a de- fense, and it further appearing to the court that the damage sustained by the plaintiff is unliquidated and cannot be ascertalned with- out inquiry @s to the amount thereof, and the court being fully advised in the premiges, it is ordered and adjudged that the plaintiff is en- titled to judgment on the pleadings, and to the end that the amount of damages sustained by the plaintiff may be ascertained it is fur- ther qrdered that this cause be and the same is hereby referred to W. B. Hauser Esq. to ascertain and find the amount of the damages sustained by the plaintiff and to report to this court the amount thereof. ARTHUR H. NOYES, Judge. Judge Ross, who wrote the opinion for the Court of Appeals, said in the conclud- ing paragraph: A bare statement of the case is enough to disclose the error of the court below. The judgment is re- versed, and the cause remanded for fur- | ther proceedings.” Judge Noyes' bias in favor of Galen may be explained by the fact that Galen is a brother-in-law of United States Sen- ator Carter, and was United States Com- mitsioner under Noyes at Nome. The re- spondent answered, but Noyes, to oblige the brother-in-law of his political backer, violated the rule and gave the case to his favorite. 4 CUTS HIS THROAT IN A PRISON CELL o VOlbx:ncht, a Laborer, Arrested for Drunkenness, Tries to End His Life. H. Volbracht, a laborer, cut his throat with a razor in a cell in the City Prison | vesterday morning. He was sent to the | Harbor Emergency Hospital, where it was found that he had cut across the “Adam’s apple” and had severed a portion of his windpipe, but, fortunately, had not reached the jugular vein. He will recover. | Volbracht was arrested on Kearny street_shortly after 10 o'clock by Police- man John Duane for drunkenness, and a few minutes after he was put in a cell by himseif one of the “trusties” noticed blood pouring from a wound in his throat. The “trusty’” ‘notified Officers Shaw and Love and they had Volbracht removed to the hospital. The razor was found by his side, and the supposition is that he had it concealed in his clothing. He is an | Englishman, 28 vears of age. It is said he was at one time confined in an insane | asylum. — e | ADVERTISEMENTS. 0f Interest to Husbands, | 1s your home happy or is your wife delicate and suffering from leucorrhea, irregular or sup- pressed mienstruation, ovarian tumors, displace | ment of the uterus or general debility of the en- | tire system?

The Board of Supervisors yesterday passed to print two ordinances providing for a special levy of-7% cents on each $100 of assessed valuation outside of the dollar limit for a new hospital and an- other 7% cents for new schoolhouses. The meeting was called for 2 o'clock, but was delayed exactly one hour and a half ow- ing to the absence of Supervisor Bran- denstein, who has a bad habit of coming late. Brandenstein’s absence was con- spicuous because it required a unanimous vote to pass the two ordinances. Pre- vious to the consideration of the meas- ures several citizens were heard on the yroposed tax budget. M. Cushing of the Point Lobos Im- provement Club said that his district had four schoolhouses, two of which are very small. Cushing made an appeal for more grammar school facildties, for the erec- tion of a new firehoe, for more lights and better public protection in the dis- trict. A. P. Van Duzer referred to the char- ter, which provides that all necessary municipal expenditures must be satisfied out of the dollar limit of taxation and that in case of necessity any extraorain- 4ry improvements must be made by a bond issue. Van Duzer asked the Board uot to be carried away by enthusiasm and pass the measures for a special tax wihich would undoubtedly be declared il- legal by the Supreme Court. Braunhart' asked Van Duzer if he did not think that the Board of Supervisors was the sole judge of the urgent nedes- sity of a hospitai and schoolnouses and Van Duzer replied that he did not think 0. 50, A \,“Well I have here a Supreme Court de- cision’ showing that the Board has such power,” said Braunhart. Van Duzer reasoned that only when a schoolhouse burned down could the Board levy a special tax to build a new struc- dure and he did not think that any emer- gency existed at the present time for the levying of a special tax. W. A. Pease argued that a necessity for new schools did exist. Chris Stader sald that he did not oppose the extra levy but he was afrald that the money would not be expended wisely. Stader sald that it would not be advisable to build a twelve-room school house in the Sunnyside district as the Board of Edu- S:uon intended, as a four-room school- use would be sufficient to accommodate the 121 children in the locality. “The city needs $3,000,000 for schools,” sald D'Ancona, “‘and we are not conferned with the amount that each dls- trict is to receive. That is an after con- sideration. Let us first provide the funds for the purpose and the segregation can be made later.” - OBJECTS TO SECOND TAX. ‘When the resolution declaring that a necesslty exists for the levying of a spe- cial tax of T)% cents for a hospital and pledging the board to levy another tax of | T cents next year for the same purpose | was about to ‘be voted upon Braunhart objected on the ground ‘that the second tax might be an illegal proceeding in not being.a temporary suspension of the dollar limit as the charter requires. Comte sald that taking a broad and lib- eral view of the matter he could see no barm in pledging the board to.levy a second taX next year in order that the hospital could be completed. ‘he charter framers never intended that this community should be deprived of proper. accommodations for the sick poor,” sald Comte. “This measure con- templates the expenditure of money for a hospital and not for unnecessary teach- ers and janitors or extravagant salarfes, ard should be adopted.” Braunhart quoted from a Supreme Court dctision that the board has author- ity to legislate for the bullding of a new hospital and schoolhouses. Braunhart said it would require a unanimous vote of the eighteen members of the bgard. Sanderson took exception to this af:te- ment and held that if one Supervisor was away on absence leave the measures could be passed by seventeen votes, or even by ten votes. When Braunhart sald that he would surrender his private convictions that the ordinances for a speclal levy are inad- visable and vote for them because the | people demanded their passage, Branden- stein retorted that Braunhart's position was a false one. “I say that Mr. Braunhart should not vote with us if he thidks we are wrong,” said Brandenstein. ““We should all stand or fall on these prépositions and we want no half-hearted alleglance from any member of this board.” Supervisor Sanderson held that the bill for a special levy was out of order under when the public interest requires the construction of a municipal building, the cost of which will exceed the income of the city for any one year, the Supervisors must by ordinance passed by fourteen members submit the proposition to in- cur a bonded indebtedness for the pur- pose. 1 D'Ancona said that the hospital had been declared unsanitary by the Board of Health and the city was in the position of having no proper hospital building. | Braunhart, in explaining his reluctance to vote for the resolution, said that his views were shared by several other mem- | bers. Mayor Schmitz sald that each Su- | pervisor_could speak for himself. “Mr. Braunhart's remark is an Infpu- | tation on this board,” sald Brandenstein, | “and I call on any Supervisor to say now {if he intends to vote for a new hospital agalnst his convictions,” No Supervisor responded to the invi- tation. Boxton objected to pledging himself to vote for another speclal levy next year, Curtis then withdrew his resolution and submitted instead his ordinance covering the levy of 7l cents for a new hospital for this year only. There was no objec- tion raised, even Sanderson, who all along had spoken in opposition to the special levy, remaining silent. The or- dinance was passed to print. LEVY FOR NEW SCHOOLS. ‘When the ordinance imposing a speclal tax of 7% cents on each $100 assesged vai- uation for schoolhouses was taken up Brandenstein said that at least one cent of the tax should be set aside for the re- pairs of schoolhouses. Wilson thought such action would be detrimental to the urpose of the ordinance, and it would not Ee proper to designate repairs as an ex- treme emergency. Roncovier{ sald that it was the inten- tion of the board not to erect costly school bulldings in the outlying districts. He thought that frame buildings would suffice there. In the thickly settled por- tions permanent structures of brick would be erected. D’Ancona suggested that be- fore final passage of the ordinance the Board of Education should submit a list of the exact localities and the schools de- signed to be bullt. No such designation was made in the ordinace, and Branden- stein sald it should be amended so as to give the Board of Supervisors control over the expenditure of the funds. Alpers thought the sheuld be heard on the Bubyc the speclal levy was raised for schools it would endanger the proposed hond issue for the same purpose. “I move that this matter go over,” said Connor, “and that in executive sesslon wo Brovlde some means to give the School epartment, say, $100,000-to tide over the emergency, and also to give more money to the Police Department. Then we can go ahead on the proposed bond issue, this board, and if something is not done to raise the liquor license the people will take the matter In their own hands and will vote for a license of $500 per vear, T protect the liquor dealers I think we should fix the license at $200 per year. I do not belleve in raising the taxes, and T voted with réluctance to levy the special tax for a hospital. It is a bad precedent to_go above the dollar limit."” Boxton objected to postponing action, saying that If the people liked the tax of 7% cents’ for a hospital they would like the 7% cents for schools. The bill levying the tax for new schools the section of the charter providing that | ople” t. ~Connor said that if" ‘“The issue of high license is now before |, ANOTHER POLIGE GOURT SCANDAL Bail Money Is Drawn by Clerks in City Employ. R. E. Lyons and F. R. Conway Involved in Serious Tangle. Robert B. Lyons, a Deputy County Clerk and Frederick R. Conway, clerk of Police Court No. 1, have placed. them- selves in an awkward position by obtain- ing the sum of $250 from the City and County Treasurer on an order signed by Judge Mogan. The latter was an innocent party to a crime that was revealed when J. M. Evans, the real owner of the money, applied for it yesterday. The facts in the case may lead to the conviction of both men on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. It appears that Evans on March 19 de- posited the sum of $250 cash bail for the release.of Jessle Holland, a woman who was held by Judge Mogan on that day for grand larceny for stealing $20 from C. H. Layman in a rdom on Turk- street on March 15. She was tried last Monday be- fore Judge Dunne and a jury and was convicted. She was ordered into / custody and Evans applied for and secured an order from Judge Dunne for his money. Yesterday morning he visited the City and County Treasurer's office and was astounded when told that the money had been paid | to R. E. Lyons, a clerk under Bert Ma- hony, the County Clerk, two days after it had been deposited. 3 Evans went to Lyons and asked him if he had drawn the money and Lyons ad- mitted having done so for another party. He declined to inform Evans who the other party was and the latter “reported the matter to the Chief of Police. The matter was turned over to Captain of De- tectives Seymour for investigation. Cap- tain Seymour immediately detailed Detec- tive Ross Whittaker to bring Lyons to the Hall of Justice. Whittaker went to the County Clerk’s office and learned that Lyons had received leave to absent him- self until 3:30 p. m. Whittaker walted until the office closed, but Lyons failed to materialize. In the meantime a representative of the Call informed Judge Mogan of the occur- rence. The latter was astounded. Visions of another Sullivan forgery case entered his mind. Accompanied by The Call's representative, he visited the office of the Treasurer and after an inspection of the following order, admitted that the signa- ture attached to it was his: . SAN FRANCISCO, March 22, 1902. To the Treasurer of the City and County of San Francisco: Pay to R. E. Lyons or order the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars bail money deposited in People vs. Jessie Holland, charged with mis. The sald bail deposited with you by the bond and warrant clerk of the City and County of San Francisco, Department No. 1, March 20, 1002, has been this 20th day of March, 1902, exonerated. (Signed) E. P. MOGAN, of Police Court, Department No, 1. ch 22, 1902. R. B. Lyons. RECORDS ARE EXAMINED. An effort was then made to find Conway and have him explain the matter, but he could not be located. Judge Mo- gan and newspaper representatives returned to ‘the Hall of Justice, and after waiting until 6 o'clock for Conway to appear, Captain Seymour pried open his desk with a “jimmy” and an inspection of the court records dis- clesed the following entry: Date—March 20, 1 Name—Jessio Hol- land. Qiense—Grnd "Imrseny. Amount - of . By whom .. Evans. Number of case—13 Disgoeition of caser: hereby acknowledge the receipt of the money opposite my name There was no signature opposite the last entry, whereas in every other case on the page, and there were more than a dozen, the 'signature was there. Conway, by accident or design, made out the order to his friend R: E. Lyons and passed it up among a half dozen others to Judge Mogan on March 22 and the latter, relying on his clerk, signed the paper. In all Probablll(y had Evans followed the usual custom and come to Clerk Con- way, the latter would have given him the money that was due him and thus avolded an_exposure. Instead Evans secured an order from Judge Dunne and the crime was revealed. It may be a coincidence, but it is a fact that.Evans was the man who exposed Dan Sullivan, the Police Court clerk, who is now serving a term of years in State Prison. Conway was asked about the matter at 1 o’clock yesterday. He paled and threw up his hands and hurried from the Hall of Justice excitedly remarking that there was some mistake and he would have to examine his books. He and Lyons were closeted together for many hours in a neighboring saloon trying to fix the mat- ter 'up. Detective Seymour detailed all his available men to locate the two men and bring them in, but up to a late hour they could not be found. JUDGE MOGAN EXPLAINS. “After the Dan Sulllvan forgeries,” sald /Judge Mogan, “I made a rule in my court that the clerk should not make out a treasury order in favor of any person un- less the name of that person was on the bail receipt, and thdt the person so.pre- senting the ball recelpt should sign his name and address in the receipt baok be- fore the treasury order was turned over to him. I ordered, however, that in case of the inability of the person in whose name the bail receipt was made to pre- sent it he could write on the back 6f the | receipt the following words: ‘To the clerk of the Police Court: Deliver my treasury order to bearer, John Jones, signed John Smith.” Then Jones would present the bail receipt to the clerk and would be re- quired to sign his name and address in the receipt book. In that way the whole history of the transaction is had. “If the clerk violated that rule it is for him to explain. Every morning the clerk presents to me about twenty-five treasur) orders. I sign them, presuming the cle;{ has attended to his business.” Lyons surrendered himself to the police shortly before midnight. In an interview he readily gave his side of the story. Fe sald Conway, who is a friend of his, came to him on March and asked him to oblige him by having an order on the treasury cashed. He sald he looked at the order and saw it was made out in his name, and expressed surprise. To ac- commodate his friend, however, he says, he cashed the order and turned the sumr over to Conway. He thought nothir more of the matter until he was informe of the mistake yesterday afternoon. He stated that he would have come down sooner, but was taken sick and confined to his bed. Lyons’ name was entered on the ‘detinue book and he was placed in a cell. He asked to see the Chief, but the latter declined to take a hand in the mat- ter, as the man was jalled at the request of Judge Mofin. Conway visited the hall shortly after- ward and- informed the reporters that he kLad receipts’ for every dollar he had re- ceived. e had been drinking, and was wroth_at the accusations made against him. He declineq to giYe himself up, stat- ing that he would at his desk this morning., He then left for his home, at 30 Lynch street. . — Alleges Undue Influence. F.

DOLE'S VERSION OF PARKER BOOM The Hawaiian Governor Grows Sarcastic About His Rival. Governor Sanford B. Dole of the terrl- tory of Hawall arrived at the Occidental Hotel yesterday and will leave for the islands on the steamer Alameda on Sat- urday. He has been to Washington at the request of President Roosevelt and on his way back he spent several days in Southern California. He is in splen- did health and with the exception of a slight cold, which he contracted in ths East, he has not had one day’s illness during his visit to the United States. “I went to Washington at the request of the President,” Governor Dole said. “In my conferences with the President he desired to know as much as possible about the political situation. He did not inquire about the administration of the islands.” “There have been many reports that the President would call upon you to re- sign and that Sam Parker would possi- bly succeed you,” said the interviewer. “Is there any likelihood of this taking place?” Governor Dole replied: Sam Parker is a well educated Hawailan. All Hawallans, however, have a way. of put- ting too much weight on remarks that are made. This is how_the report was circulated about Sam Parker, I surmise. He heard some report that he might be made Governor and put too much stress on the remark. It is & misunderstanding on his part. I know nothing about his being made Governor. I will never resign except on account of ill-health. A year ago I was not feeling very . 1 took a va- cation in the mountains for a month and re- turned perfectly restored in health. EMBARRASSES GOVERNOR. There will be no chankes on my part as & result of my visit to Washington. The Presi- dent did not allude to the ‘‘crown” lands and the matter was not ssed. Queen Liliou- kalani receives a pensiof of $7500 a year from the Hawalian Government.and I do not think that the United States Government will grant ber another pension. The ‘‘crown’” lands are now fused with the other Hawailan Govern- ment lands. You must understand that a clause in the ennexation treaty had a clause which allowed the land laws of Hawall to re- main the same and not be made the same as in America. Governor Dole when asked about the political situation in Hawali sald: There are three political parties down there. The Home Rule, which 18 composed of old Royalists, polis the largest vote, as every na- tive votes the Home Rule-ticket. The second and third parties are the Republican and Democrat. Wilcox is the head of the Home Rule party. He is a good politician, but in other things he is not effective. He has no particular standing or influence back in Wash- ington. Sam Parker is the Republican leader, being the representative of the National Com- mittee. i The Home Rule party has political control of the patives. It has a two-thirds vote in the lower House, but in the Senate it lacks one of two-thirds, Of course, this power is very, embarrassing to my administration, as the Home Rule Representatives have vgtoed many necessary appropriations. do_ mot think the Home Rule party will remain strong or lastifz, as it has never fulfilled one prom- ise made before election. WANT WHITE LABOR. The labor situation in the Hawailan Islands is very satlsfactory. At the time of annexa- tion all labor contracts became. vold, and on this account many of the laborers left the plantaticns they were working on and roamed around the islands hoping to better their con- ditions. This has all been remedied and tpere is now no lack of laborers, Many of the sugar planters are anxious for white laborers to come to the islands, and promise them g profit-sharing contract if they will remain a certaln space of time. The proposition, to speak more fully, is that these planters will give white laborers a house, gar- den and 8o many acres of land to cultivate and they are to mutually share in the profits, In reference to the claims of those who lost thelr property by the burning of certain parts of Honolulu at the time of the plague, the matter is in the hands of a court of claims. The total of claims will amount to about §2,000,000. It is the wish of our people that Congress should lend us the money to pay these claims. The United States was greatly interested in seeing that the plague was stamped out, and we think that they should belp us in the matter. All the people who had thelr property burned need the money badly and the sooner the claims are settled the better f8r ‘all concerned. We cannot pay the claims, all the (money we collect from atlon we need for certain appropriations. O B GRS FE R, WASH SKIRTS and SUITS PRICES !
