Petition to Supreme Court Is Cause of a New Conflict. ———— The war between the State Board of Fish Commissioners and John F. Cor- riea, a prominent commission merchant, bas taken a new and serious turn. Chief Deputy Vogelsang of the commission | stated last night that he was morally certain that Corriea had perjured himself in an afidavit presented to the Supreme Court petitioning for a writ of habeas corpus. The accused says that his ac- | tion was perfectly legal; that the Flshi Commissioners do not know what is the | matter with them, and that they can go | to any old place they see fit, for all he | cares. The game laws passed by the last Leg- islature are the bone of contention. One provision makes it illegal for any one | to have more than a specified number | of certain kinds of game. The commis- | sion merchants have found that it is im- | possible for them to sell doves, quail, | trout, etc., to the trade, for if they ever | have more birds or fish than they should a deputy of the h Commission swoops down on their markets, seizes and con- fiscates the game and hales the posses- sors before the courts. It has been claimed that the distaste- | ful laws are unconstitutional, but they have been upheld In every case that has been brought to trial. The Fish Com- missioners state that the question of the justice of the game laws is not for them to decide, but that it is their duty to ap- prehend and prosecute those who will not act in accordance with the statutes. Corriea has carried one case to the Su- preme Court and was defeated. Last Sat- urday he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he was in the custody of the Sheriff and illegally deprived of his libert: The writ was | summarily denied. Vogelsang, after hav- ing made an examination of the case, de- clares that he is positive that Corriea was not in the custody of the Sheriff, and | that Attorney Cook of the commission | will secure affidavits to that effect from | the Sheriff’s office this morning. It is also stated that if it is found that the | commission merchant has acted illegally steps to have him prosecuted for perjury will be taken. Z ang has no pleasant words to say of Corri and the latter holds up his end of the argument with similar spirit. His ccuse is supported by the rest of the commission merchants in his line of busi- ness. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair, No Matter What Color. The finest contour of a female face, the sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses something if the head is crowned with Scant and falling halr, is caused by a parasite that burrows into the scalp to the root of the hair, where it saps the vitality. The little | white scales the germ throws up in bur- | rowing are called dandruff. To cure dan- druff permanently, then, and to stop fall- ing hair that germ must be killed.

A3 SPRECKELS |MARIPOSA ENDS FIRST VOYAGE SINCE BECOMING OIL BURNER Arrives From Tahiti a Day Ahead of Schedule, thé Liquid Fue Having Proved in Every Way a Complete Success-—-Passen- gers Like the Absolute Cleanliness of King Coal’s Successor HE Oceanic Steamship Company’'s oil-burning liner Mariposa ar- rived yesterday from Tahitl, a day before she was expected and the record of her voyage is a tribute to the wisdom of the step | taken in deposing King Coal and substi- tuting liquid fuel as ‘food for her fur- naces. She reached port with her paint work fresh and bright and her decks clean as those of any yacht. Passengers were well pleased at the early arrival and officers and crew were jubilant over the suecess of the new fuel. For the delight of the passengers, the cleanliness of the vessel and the jubila- tion of the ship’s company, ofl was given all the credit. Lieutgmant W. P. Wenchell, U. S. N. who is chief engineer of the cruiser Bos- ton and was detailed by the Navy De- partment to accompany’ the Mariposa on ier first voyage as an oil burner, ex- presses himsclf as delighted with the liner’s behavior. “I will make my report to the Navy Department and of course cannot go into details in regard to this matter for pub- lication,” he said. “I can say this much, however, and I speak from experience gained through careful observation throughout the voyage, fuel oil, so far as the Mariposa is concerned, is a com- plete success and the results obtained on this voyage will be still further im- proved upon as the engineer's depart- ADVERTISEMENTS.

From the ofl furnaces there is| absolutely no odor and the cleanliness ex- | tends to the uttermost depths of the big | liner. .

The first voyage of the Mariposa was | wagched with interest by the entire ship- ping world and the success which has marked it will mean the conversion to ofl | burners of a large number of vessels and the ultimate abandonment of coal as fuel by the entire merctantflo marine.

Firemen Continue Their Ap- peal for a Shorter Work Day. The Board of Supervisors adopted a res- olution yesterday specifying that it is in- expedient to change the grades of Market street. between Valencia and Fifteenth streets as recommended by the Board of Works. The resolution recites that “such a course would be detrimental to the in- terests of owners of property abutting the streets affected and is neither utilitarian nor ornamental in so far as the general interest of the city is concerned. Comte expressed astonishment that the Board of Works had recommended the changes at the request of five or six men comprising an improvement club. ‘Comte held that the scheme would mean confls- cation and destruction of property. “I am surprised,” said Comte, “that a Board of Works which ought to be com- posed of .comp-tent men should sanction such an iniquitous scheme. The report on the subject shows that a large sum of money has been needlessly expended for an impracticable proposition.” The report of the Charter Amendments Committee that no action be taken on a proposed ordinance setting forth a pro- posal to levy a special tax outside the dol- lar limit of not more than 10 cents on every $100 of assessed valuation to in- crease the force in the Fire Department 80 as to permit of twelve-hour shifts was referred back to the joint Judiciary, Fi- nance and Charter Amendments Commit- tee for further inquiry. Boxton held that the committee had no right to say that the people are not in favor of the special levy until after it had been submitted to them, a_ course which he strongly advised. Brandenstein advo- cated the submission of a special levy to the voters to provide a twelve-hour day for three days a week for firemen, which would cost $250,000 additional yearly. Braunhart said he deemed the proposi- tion to give the Fire Department 25 per cent of the amount raised by taxation an audacious one. D'Ancona suggested that an amendment be submitted to rescind the dollar limit clause in the charter and fix the limit of taxation at $115 for mu- nicipal expenditures. E. I. Wolfe and A. L. Tilden addressed the board in behalf of the firemen. . The bill setting forth a proposed charter amendment to increase the salaries of captalns in_the Fire Department to $1620 per year, of lieutenants and engineers to $1500 and of hostlers to $300 was also re- ferred back to the Charter Amendment Committee. CARMEN MUST BE COMPETENT. Wynn's ordinance providing that street railroad cars shall be operated by compe- tent motormen, gripmen and conductors of at least seven dae);' experience in this city was finally passed. The statement of the United Railroads that the receipts of certain of their roads for the year ending May 31, 1902, were $220,728 89, was approved, and the corpora- tion was requested to pay 2 per cent of such receipts, or $441450, into the city treasury. Similar action was taken as to receipts of other roads of the same cor- portion of $11,97 4% is to be paid into the The receipts of the Hyde street treasury. branch of the California street road were $208,211 55 for the year ending June 30, 1902, of which the sum of $393602 is due the eity. 'll";le Board of Works was requested to make a survey of the portion of Lyon street granted to the city by the United States and to report a list of all obstruc- tions within the lines surveyed. Grades were ordered established on First, Virginia and Eugenia avenues and on Elsie and Jackson streets. The Board of Works was directed to re- move fences on Wayland street, between Charter Oak and San Bruno avenues, and on Twenty-seventh avenue, between Charter Oak and Ralilroad avenues. A resolution was adopted declaring that the removal of fences on Thirty-fifth ave- nue, near K street, is inadvisable, as they serve to protect travelers from a danger- ous chasm. Permission was given adja- cent property owners to erect a foot bridge across the chasm, and the Board of Works will place turnstiles at both ends of the bridge when constructed. WAGES OF PARK LABORERS. The secretary of the Park Commission notified the board that Commissioner Alt- man would move a reconsideration of its action fixing the salaries of laborers at $2 per day, and that he would move to fix the salaries at $2 50 per day. George Burge petitioned the board to order the removal of fences obstructing Olmstead street, from University street to San Bruno avenue. Thomas J. Lewis asked that obstructions on Salinas street and Thirty-fourth avenue South be re- moved, and Louis G. Des Roches peti- tioned for the removal of fences on Way- land street, from San Bruno road to Mis- sion street. Mrs. Ella Newman's petition that the fences obstructing Charter Oak avenue at Silver and Thornton avenues be removed went to the Street Committee. The board's attention was called to the tenth annual convention of the Pacific Coast Association of Fire Chiefs at Vie- toria, B. C., October 7 to 10. The following ordinances were finally passed: Authorizing the board to employ J. J. Has- sell at a salary of $250 per month to expert the books and accounts of the municipal de- partments. Declaring Seventh avenue from Golden Gate Park to the Presidio to be an open boulevard, upon which no railroad shall ever be built. Granting the Merchants’ Exchange a permit to build a fireproof structure 225 feet in height on the corffer of California and Leldesdorft NEW SIGN REGULATIONS. The ordinances providing new regula- tions for the maintenance of signs pro- jecting over sidewalks and revoking all permits heretofore grunted for such signs were finally passe The first bill pro- hibits all signs to be erected on side- walks except clocks, which are not to show any advertising matter. Wilson ar- gued in favor of the bills, saying that arything that gave a black eye to special privileges would get his support.

SHERWQOD & SHERWOOD. B BEE! FILIPINOS ARE ALIENS IN EYEF OF THE LAW Immigration Begul_ ;&mg s Applied to Them as Well as Porto Ricans. Filipinos and Porto Ricans are not con- sidered American citizens so far as'the operation of the immigration laws is con- cerned and they may be admitted here only on the same terms as other immi- grants. In order to emphasize this fact the Secretary of the Treasury says in a circular received yesterday by Customs Collector Stratton: “Under the provisions of the acts of Congress approved April 12, 1900, and July i, w2, people of the island of Porto Rico and of the Philippine Islands have been dsclared to be citizens of those islands re- spectively and as such entitled to the pro- tection of the United States. You are therefore advised that the provisions of the laws regulating immigration, includ- ing those which prescribe payment of a head tax, apply to the residents and na- tives of Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands, and, moreover, that the provi- sions of the laws relating to the exclu- sion of Chinese apply to all of such per- sons as are of the Chinese race. The citi- zens and residents of said islands there- fore should be admitted to the United tates upon the same ccnditions and sub- ject to the same examinations as are en- forced against people from countries over which the United States claims no right of sovereignty whatever.” —_———— Insolvent Carpenter.
