General Denial Is Made and Little of Import Is Brought Out. Idendell and Manson Declare That the Grand Jury’s Allega- tions Are, in Reality, Baseless. LT Commissioners George H. Mendell ‘and Marsden Manson of the Board of Public Works yesterday appeared before Mayor Schmitz to answer to the charges of the Grand Jury that the Commissioners had been guilty of neglect of duty and a gen- eral lax manner of performing the work assigned to them. Only the officials interested and the rep- resentatives of the press were present at the investigation. Messrs. Lichtenstein | Zellerbach and Roche attended as a spe- cial committee from the Grand Jury, while the two Commissioners of Public Woiks were accompanied by Michael Casey, the third member of the board, and Secretary Park and Treasurer W. J. | H. White. Wilson was also present. Mayor Schmitz opened the proceedings by informing the Commissioners cf Pub- lic Works that charges had been filed with him by the Grand Jury against them and that he desired to know if the accused officials desired to make any statement. Commissioner Mendell replied that there were a number of allegations in the Grand Jury’s report and desired that they be taken up separately. Commissioners Men- Supervisor | dell and Manson entered a general denial | to the charges and Mayor Schmitz calied Grand Juror Litchtenstein to the witness stand. After being sworn, Lichtenstein stated that he was not a member of the commit- tee of the Grand Jury that had investi- gated the complaints against the Board of Public Works but was simply a mem- ber of a special committee appointed by v to attend the investiga- Lichtenstein stated for the Grand Jury consisted of Messrs. Sanborn, Vaughan and Hiling and that one of these gentlemen was ill while the others were absent from the city. READS CHARGE TO ACCUSED. Mayor Schmitz then read the charge by the Grand Jury that the Commissioners obstructions on the city’s sidewalks, as also bay windows and showcases, con- trary to law. Lichtenstein was asked what he knew about the matter and replied that per- sonally he did not complain of the obstructions but desired to draw the at- tention of the Mayor to_the lax methods in wkich the Board of Public Works is- | sued permits for sidewalks and streets to day morning as a Board of Equalization | hearing protests | tions for deductions in assessments levied | | | by Assessor Dodge. The Assessor was | present to defend his figures and Super- | visor Wynn presided at the meeting. | “The most important change recom- mended by the board was that of a re- duction of 575,000 on the estate of Egbert Judson to $30,269. Seth Mann appealed for the estate and explained that certain pay- ments for bonds were made at 10 o'clock on the first Monday in March, 1902, of | which the Assessor had evidently learned ent on the is that the money was in possession of the estate at 12 o'clock m. | The application of Mary L. Gowdey, | in” guardian of Joseph O'Hare, competent, for a reduction of an as ment cn $41,000 in cash to nothing was d nied. Assessor Dodge stated that O'Hare was taken to New York without the con- sént of the court by his guardian, who also California. Dodge quoted the law that the estate being in the Probate Court in this city the property is a able here. Albert Meyer’s petition that the assess ment on a lot 40x100 feet in the Sunset district be increased from $310 to $500 was granted. Meyer explained that he was irous of effecting certain street im ements, the cost of which would ex- the lower assessment and this is prohibited by law. The board’s action will result in a similar increase on the assessment of the surrounding property. Action on rious applications wa taken as follow: Denied—Chy Lung & Co., personal property, | $38,000 to $28,000; H. L. Pray, real estat $9250 to $7260; A.

The witness declined to furnish the Mayor with the names of all persons who had been called before the Grand Jury or of those who had filed complaints with that body. Regarding _permanent obstruction -on the streets, Lichtenstein said that every citizen could see for himself that many obstructions existed and that the Board of Public Works was not to blame for their being allowed on the sidewaiks, as permits for the obstructions were issued by the Supervisors. Lichtenstein then cited a case where a permit to tear up the street was given in order that a Grand-avenue Turkish hath establishment might lay a pipe for the purpose of seling steam power to an_adjacent restaurant. The witness sald that he had looked int8 the matter and that the permit had been issued by a young clerk in the office of the Board of Public Works. Commissioner Mendell, in reply to the charge of obstructions being allowed on the sidewalks, read an opinion of the City and County Attorney in which the ques- tion was dealt with. The City and Coun- ty Attorney had given his opinion that the present Board of Public Works had no power under the charter to remove any obstructions that existed under per- mits granted by previous Boards of Works and Supervisors. Mendell then claimed that under the de- cision of the City Attorney the Board of Public Works was not to blame for the alleged obstructions, and declared that since the present board went into office no permit had been given for any permanent obstruction to be erected on a sidewalk. Regarding bootblack stands, advertising signs on the sidewalks and | booths of draying offices, Mendell claimed non-responsibility, relying on the declsion of the.City Attorney. Messrs, Zellerbach and Roche were then examined, but they stated they person- ally knew nothing of the charges in the report filed with the Mayor, being pres- | ent only as a special committee for the | Grand Jury. 3 3505 | jmprovements, | HOW PERMITS ARE ISSUED. Considerable time was then taken up with the accusation of Grand Juror Lich- tenstein that permits to tear up the slreets were granted in a free and easy manrer by clerks in the office. The records of the board were sent for, and it transpired that the owner of a Turk- jsh bath or Grant avenue had applied for a permit to lay a pipe for some twen- ty-five feet to a restaurant, in order to sell steam power to the owmer of the restaurant. The records disclosed that the application had been referred to the Bureau of ‘Streets and reported favorably by that branch of the board. The per- son who applied to lay the pipe had com- plied with the law and paid the esti- mrated cost of tearing up and repaving | ihe street and the work was done by em- plofxs of the board. « Mayor Schmitz desired to find out if the Commissioners themselves nad passed upcn the application, and though there wut considerable fencing it Yanspired that they had not done so, Ccmmissioner Mendell argued that the charter gave each department of the city goevernment power to regulate its execu- tive_work. ~In such cases as this,” said Mendeil, “we verbally authorizeGd Clerk White Lo receive the petition and accept the money to cover the cost of tearing up the streci. His act is our act, and while we person- wlly did not pass on the application the Board of Public. Works did do so.” Commissioner Mendgell took exception to a portion of the report of the Grand Jury which cast a reflection on the honesty and integrity of himself and his asso- clates, and questioned Juror Lichtenstein in the matter. Lichtenstein replied that he did not draw up the report. The portion of the report mentioned was that in which the Grand Jury informed the Mayor that when Messrs. Mendell | and Manson went into office ex-Mayor Phelan sald that he had appointed them in order to end the reign of corruption | ard wastefulness of previous boards, and | that the Grand Jury regretted that its| investigation showed that the abuses had rot been stopped. The report, however, | further stated that no reflection was cast | on the personal integrity of Mendell and | Manson. Mayor Schmitz announced that owing to the absence of the Grand Jury com- mittee that reported on the Board of Public Works it would not be possible to proceed further, and adjourned the in- vestigation until the committee can at- tend before the Mayor.

He is the | first member of the Naval Militia to suc- | cessfully pass the examination under the | new law, which provides for the licensing | of Naval Militia men. The issuing of a Nerney marks a new era in the history | of the Naval Militia. It puts it on a | strictly nautical basis. In the future all officers of the rank of lieutenant and | above will have to undergo an examina- | tion before the United States inspectors, They will_have to prove by actual test that they have the ability and knowledge sufficlent for a pilot. It was the inten- tion of the framers of the law to render | the Naval Militia a purely nautical or- ganization, with officers. worthy to be placed in charge of a vessel. Captain Nerney has been in the Naval Militia nearly ten years. He was the or- ganizer of Company A at San Diego in September, 1891, and has always taken a deep interest in the affairs of the organi- zation. He does not intend to engage in business as a pilot, hut passed the exam- ination merely to set an example for his subordinates, so that they may also seek to become qualified to command and manage any vessel to which they may be assigned. | ———— ‘Will Develop Islands.

MEAT DEALERS PREPARING T0 FIGHT-TRUST Butchers’ Board of Trade Alive to Danger of ' Situation. ' Plan of Campaign Will Be Arranged at the Next Meeting. Secrecy With Which the Agents of‘f the Combine Are Working | Is Deemed to Be Ominous. Alive to the dangers of the situation | which present themselves, now that the ' Bastern beef trust has designs upon this market as a basis for operation on the Pacific Coast, the San Francisco Butch- | ers’ Board of Trade will at its next meet- | Ing adopt resolutions calling upon the people of this city to aid the local trade by refusing to buy any of thé meats which, after the inauguration of business | by the trust here, will te shipped across the continent by the carload. With the aid of the public the beef men say they will be able to frustrate the designs of the gigantic monopoly which, not content with owning the Kast, now purposes to | extend its dominion to the shores of th: Pacific. The members of the Butchers' Board of | Trade, numbering about 900, have begun their fight against the trust. Several years ago when the trust sent refrigerat- ed meat from the Eact the butchers did not appeal to the peuple in vain. Every attempt to undersell local meat dealers was frustrated, the residents preferring to pay from 2 to 5 cents a pound more for California beef than for the Eastern arti- cle. The fight was waged bitterly for a long perfod, with the result that refriger- ated meat such as the trust managers sought to sell at unusually low figures was withdrawn from the trade, and local dealers were privileged to conduct their business without opposition from the But recently the vast aden, which is owned by the Swift and Armour interests, the head and front of the trust, has become active. This was not deemed significant by the beef men and it might have escaped general atten- tion had not The Call pointed out in a series of articles the fact that the trust was_secretly operating with a view to- | ward securing control of the local trade. SECRECY IS OMINOUS. | The secrecy with which the agents of the monopoly are working is deemed by local dealers and packers to be ominous. They realize that the successful termi- nation of the negotiations now pending for the acquisition of the larger packing concerns and the livestock interests by the larger raisers would place the monop- oly in control of the market and practi- cally wipe out the business of hundreds of meat dealers who are now carrying on a profitable trade. It is because of this danger that the Butchers’ Board of Trade | all in_its power to frustrate the designs of the beef Captain John H. McMenomy, president | of the Butchers’ Board of Trade, in dis- | cussing the situation yesterday, said: 1 1T have known for fome time vast that the trust was operating with a view toward se- curing contrcl of the local market. It forzunate for our trade that The Call gave publicity to the negotlations pending, for in doing so0 1t has sounded the aldrm ‘which will bring every man interested in the trade to the | front. All of them know by experience that if the trust secures control they are out of it. That is to say, none of them will be allowed to do business except as agents for the monop- oly, handling trust beef and paying such prices as the combine may demand. It would be a public calamity for the trust to get control here, and the organization I represent will fight it tooth and nail. We will win if we have ‘the support of the press and public. EFFECT OF TRUST RULE. It the designs of the trust as regards this market are successfully carried out, every raiser of stock will be at its mercy. Farmers will be forced to ship their stock to this m ket and accept such prices as the monopoly is willlng o pay for it. The farmer will be forced to sell at the prices offered or suffer his stock to die of old age on his hands. This is the case in the East, where the trust is all- powerful, the result being that stock Is soid by farmers for what it will bring. while the | trust sells it in the form of beef at a stated price, xreatly at variance with the price paid the raiser. Owing to the high prices demanded the consumption of meat decreased materially | and beef slaughtered for the trade was canned. In this way hundreds of thousands of cattle were needlessly slaughtered and the meat is now being shipped abroad in cans. Should the trust get control of the local market the tow would be flooded with this class of goods. This would mean the ruin of our business, aad realizing this, we have made up our minds to fight: At the next meeting of the Butchers' | Board of Trade a plan of campaign will be outlined. % ' The larger packers and stockgrowers say that they have not been approached by the agents of the trust. They do not | deny that something highly important is in the wind, but they profess not to know | & its vrecise character. The fact that the | plant of the trust at Baden shows signs of activity after a long period of idleness is looked upon as important in that it! tends to show that operations. the en@ of | which few can foresee, have been begun. | Developments will be watched with in- | tense interest by all connected with the trade in this city and on the coast.

According to Henry Meyer, who levied the attachment on the real estate, the firm's checks havc been refused and the creditors afe taking steps to protect their interests. There is also said to be some Eastern paper which the firm has been unable to meet. The total liabilities of the concern are placed by Meyer at $56,- 000, while its personal property is assessed | for $57,000, a figure greater than its just | On this account it is thought | that the firm's trouble is merely tempor- | ar; Meyer says that the firm owes $5000 ditional to a person whose name he re- fuses to disclose. Lucius Solomons, who levied the - at- tachment, did so at the instance of the American Chicle Company, the chewing gum trust, to whom Rothschild and Ebrenpfort are indebted in the sum of $1704 30. Solomons says the trouble began on last collection day, when Daniel Meyer, the banker, refused to cash some checks of the firm. Solomons says the firm has been in business in this city for thirty vears and this is the first time it has ever been in financial straits. He s of the opinion that it will soon be able to tide over the difficulty.
