,THE SAN FRAXNCIECO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1902. " UBURY RESENTS THE IMPUTATION Denies That He Ever Had Interest in Pub- lic Land. Is Only Trying to Protect the Rights of the Miners. State Mineralogist Aubury denies very emphatically an allegation contained in & press dispatch that he has been influ- enced to investigate the frauds in the ining counties against the miners as practiced by dummy locators for timber grabbers by any rebuff that he has ever on the part of the land office. t is a lie, made out of whole cloth,” e State Mineralogist said last evening, that I ever made an entry of land in he land office or that an entry of mine rejected. 1 don't know any better way to meet the story than to say that I | have never made an entry of land, never attempted to make an entry mor caused an entry to be made. The whole story as it comes from Washington is decidedly fishy. The statement purports to have originated with Government Inspector Burke and to have been embodied in a re- pert” made by Burke to-Commissioner Hermann of the General Land Office in Washington. Burke is represented as say- ing that he has investigated the charges by me and that I could not sub- stantiate any of them. “I have a very strong reason for doubt- ing the whole of the allegations. I do not believe that Inspector Burke has made any such report as he is credited | with. My reason for disbellef is that Burke had nothing to do with the inves- tigation of mineral or timber lands. He is employed to inspect the offices of the Government's land officials. In that ca- le and Marysville land uppose he has reported concerning in which they are conducted. He d absolutely no connection with inves- any fraudulent land entries, and work was entirely out of his pro- had no purpose in the investigations were made by Mr. Stevens for the Mining B u except to find out whether t complaints of the miners st the timber locators were justified fact The report of Mr. Stevens published in substance in the ers, and the public can judge g the justice of the claims made by t e timber locators.” ARMED WITH KNIFE HE LIES IN WAIT FOR MAN Arthur Wagner Arrested on Charge of Assault to Commit Murder. hur Wagner was arrested yesterday a warrant by Detectives Byram and and booked at the City Prison on a ault to murder.

Responsive to invitations generously extended to | representative men and women of Cali- {fomls. by Clarence H. Mackay and his | | assoclates of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company, a vast throng of people went abeard the vessel. The officers of the Sil- | vertown, who joined in the extending of | courtesies, eptertained their numerous guests in a brave and prodigal style. Every one of the ladles was presented with a beautiful bouquet of natural flowers. | In honor of the event the noble ship was | decked with flags and streamers in a most | artistic fashion. Palms, | smilax, roses, violets and chrysanthe- mums converted the decks into bowers of | beauty. An army of sub-caterers dis- | pensed refreshments, solid and liquid, ! while the band playved catchy melodies. y | The crush was so great that many who were bent on obtaining technical knowl- edge on the subject of submarine cable work were constrained to abandon pursuit of definite intelligence and join | the muiltitude in the enjoyment of the | genial hospitality of the event. Of course, every one had opportunity to glance at | the wells or tamnks in which the cables are stored, to view the deep-sea sound- ing apparatus and to get a general notion [o(’ the process by which the strands of copper are paid out as the ship moves. FOUR THOUSAND GUESTS. The card of invitation announced that; guests would leave the shore for the shiy on_the tug Defiance every fifteen minutes. Before 2 o'clock the carrying facilities of the tugs Relief and Reliance were over- taxed and the service of several other boat was called into . requisition to ac- commodate 4000 ticket-holders. At 3 o'clock there was 2 long line of men and women at pler No. 10, Howard-street whart. Ladies who were late comers dis- regarded the rights of those already in column. natured and all applicants were trans- ported to the Silvertown before the hour of 4 p. m. Many lingered long on the cableship lis- tening to the music and partaking of the champagne, hence it was quite dark be- fore all of President Mackay’s delighted guests were ashore. The Silvertown is not a stranger to the waters of San Franciséco Bay. The good | ship visited this port twenty-one years ago and loaded aboard 8000 tons of wheat | for Liverpool. ‘The vessel had just fin- ished an important cable-laying enterprise when she came here the ‘first time. | FATAL ACCIDENT CAUSED | BY PARALYTIC STROKE McGregor Turns on the Gas and Falls Unconscious | in a Fit. A sudden stroke of paralysis just as she had turned on the gas and beforc she had ignited it was the cause of the death of Mary McGregor yester- day morning. She was 70 years of age and was employed as a servant in the family of R. H. Condit, 1004 Washington ‘Street. At a quarter after 8 o’clock yes- terday morning she was found lying on the flcor of her room, face downward, with the gas flowing from an open burn- er. As the unfortunate woman had had several paralytic strokes, the infer- ence is that just as she had opened the key of the gas burner she was seized with a fit and fell to the floor, where she was suffocated. An inquest was held yesterday fore- noon, and a verdict of accldental death was returned.

The ship can steam at a speed of ten knots an hour and pay out the copper strand as she speeds, but it is not expected that a higher speed than seven knots per hour will be at- tained on the forthcoming voyage to Hawail.

XY WORKMEN LOSE POSITIONS Board Will Use Funds to Build Noe Valley Schoolhouse, L Inability to Draw on Special Levy Causes the Several Dismissals. The Board of Education yesterday dis- missed sixty workmen employed in the repair and supply departments in order that the money saved in wages may be utilized to build the new Noe Valley | schoolhouse. The board will effect a sav- | ing of about $6000 a month, which will | g0 toward paying the cost of the build- ing, estimated at $40000. In the mean- time all repairs on existing schoolhouses | will stop for a period of six months or more. The resolution ardering the dis- missals follows: Whereas, The Auditor has refused to recog- | nize the validity of the additional tax levy ! of 7% cents for the erection of new schocl bulldings; and ® ‘Whereas, The board has repeatedly promised the residents of Noe Valley 1o erect a school building in their district, which is imperatively needed; and ‘Whereas, The school funds are not sufficlent to continue the employment of mechanics and laborers in the repair and supply departments, and at the same time erect raid Noe Valley school; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Board of Public Works be instructed to discontinue from and after December 13 all employes In the repair depart- ment except Assistant Inspector Willlam E. | Commary; and be it further Resolved, That all mechanics and day la- borers in the supply department are dismlssed | from and after December 13. PRINCIPAL RESIGNS. The resignation of Mary E. Callahan as principal of the Clement School was accepted, but her successor | was not appointed. Miss Callahan has | been away on leave of absence for two years, having come into considerable | money. She desires that Miss H. F. Mc- | Farland, who has filled that position dur- | ing her absence, be elected as her suc- cessor, but the board has some one else | in view for the place. E. C. Cordell and Mrs. G. Fitzgerald | Stratford, having been assigned to even- | ing substitute duty and having failed to report, were dismissed from the depart- ment. Miss M. L. Sabins, Miss Rae Cohen | and Miss A. J. Rock were instructed to | report for duty as evening substitutes at | the Lincoln Evening School. | Principals were authorized at the close of the fall term, 102, to make promo- tions from grade to grade and from divi- sion to division, except in the B eighth | grade. The president of the board was authorized to arrange aplan for the pro- motion of pupils from the B eighth grades to the High School. EXONERATES TEACHER. Miss Alice M. Lalande, a teacher in the Adams School, was givey a hearing by the hoard on a charge of using offensive | terms to a child which was preferred by | the child's parents. After hearing the | evidence the board found the charge not sustained and exonerated Miss Lalande. | Principal Herbst of the school gave an indorsement of Miss Lalande’s good work | and efficiency. Leaves of absence were granted to Miss E. B. Taylor, Mfss Nelile Kershaw and Miss Belle M. Boyle. The pupils of the Gommercial depart- ment of the Horace Mann Evening School were granted permission to siv‘ an en” tertainment on the 16th inst. The following teachers’ certificates were granted: i High School—Miss Amy Tabrett, George E. Riley and Laurence Taafe (permarent). Grammar School—Mrs. J.

WILL SUCCEED HIMSELF i ON THE BOARD OF WORKS Grammar | Mindreader Tyndall Names Van der P Naillen in Test and Is Con- | firmed by Mayor Schmitz. | Dr. J. Mclvor Tyndall, the famous mind- reader, gave an exhibition of his powers before Mayor Schmitz and several city | officials in the Mayor's office yesterday. | The most important feat performed by | Tyndall was his selection of A., A. Van | der Naillen from a list of several names which the Mayor had written on a plece | of paper as being probable appointees on the various commissions on January 8, 1903. Tyndall was blindfolded at the time | and after taking the hand of an observer he not only wrote the name “Van der | Naillen,” but finally 1dcated the plece of | paper and the space where it was written. | The Mayor was so pleased at the test that he announced officlally that he will re- appoint Van der Naillen on the expira- | tion of the latter's term next month, i Another one of Tyndall's interesting | feats was picking-the name of the Mayor's | favorite composer from a list of seven written on a piece of paper. Tyndall at | first selected Verdis but finally hit on the correct one, Wagner. The celebrated “murder scene,” in which the Mayor was, figuratively, assaulted by Fire Commis- sloner Parry, excited great amusement, especially when Tyndall, blindfolded, | routed Parry out from the telephone~ room, where he had concealed himsgif.

THE TERRORS OF The Most Severe Weather of Winter Usually Occurs in December. Biting Winds, Freezing Gales, Damp, Slushy Streets ,Are a Constant Menace to Even the Mo:t Ro- bust Hea'th---There Seems to Be No Way of Entirely Frotecting Oneself From Colds. The most careful person is oftentimes the one who suffers oftenest with colds and coughs. A draught will creep in in spite of all care, damp winds will penetrate and sud- den sore throat, full, puffy, sfopped-up feeling in the head, or a disagreeable | hacking cough will be the result, ‘Winter weather and colds seem but nat- | ural cause and effeet. There are.a great many remedies for colds. Remedies guaranteed to cure a cold in a day, to stop a cough immediately are plenty, but there is one remedy that not only cures coughs agd colds promptly, but fortifies the system against future attacks. This remedy is Peruna. Peruna not only cures a cold guickly and permanently, but it so heals and strengthens the inflamed mucous mem- branes that one is much less liable to catch cold than before taking it. It is an ideal safeguard for all winter diseases. One-half the ills of winter are caused directly by an inflamed condition of the mucous membrane of some part of the body. The mucous membrane lin- ing the nose, throat and lungs is often aifected in winter. A remedy that acts beneficially on these inflamed membranes would be a logical ‘With healthy | mucous membranes no one need fear the most severe weather. Catarrhal diseases cannot exist when Peruna is used, and kept on hand during | the winter months. Matilda Hogan, daughter of Postmaster at Woodslee, Ont., writes: “Following close upon a severe cold, contracted a few months ago, 1 had con- stant dull headaches,’ considerable fever and a feeling of extreme lassitude, sore- ness in the joints and loss of appetite and sleep. 1 was* simply sick all over, but two bottles of Peruna cured me and made me feel altogether different. The bad ‘symptoms disappeared in short or- der and I was soon restored to perfect health, all through a few bottles of P runa. 'Since that time a number of my friends have been taking Peruna and ail | seem to feel well satisfied with the re- sults.”—Matilda_Hogan. _ Mrs. Charles Steinecle, Stoughton, Wis., Writes “My experience with Peruna has been most pleasing. By carelessly, leaving a heated ballroom I got thoroughly chilled and caught a heavy cold, which settled on my lungs. I wore a protector, took many remedies for colds without success. With my other troukles I had catarrh of the head. Peruna was recommended to me, and 1 bought a bottle, and soon be- gan to improve, and kept on taking it and it cured me'from all my troubles. I am most pleased to testify to its merits.” —Mrs. Chas. Steinecle.

The Supervisors’ Street Committee met yesterday to consider the engineering involved in the proposed franchise petitioned for by the Southern Pacific Company to operate a shore line ; in connection with its system. City En- | gineer Grunsky stated that he and Chief Engineer Hood of the company had been unable to agree upon conditions, owing to lack of time, andsthat, in fact, noth- ing hud been submitted to him. Jere Burke, attorney for the Southern Pacific Company, filed a new plat and plan of tracks prepared by the Southern ific Company engineers, all changes in construction which were acceded to by Assistant President Kruttschnitt being shown thereon. Grunsky called attention to the fact that no change is shown in the position of the El Dorado street tracks. Grunsky insists that the tracks run on the private ! property of the Southern Pacific instead of on the street; but the officials do not seem inclined to acquiesce. Attorney Willlam F. Herrin stated that the Harbor Commissioners have fixed the lines of the ferry slip, and the position cannot very well be changed, as it was done under their orders. 1 see some change has been made with respect to bridges,” sald@ Grunsky. “That is, they are shown in a modified position. 1 would have to examine and find if they are feasible. A question of policy is in- volved regarding the use of closed streets, and 1 must {nvestigate the modified plan before passing an opinion. Cannot the Seventeenth-street track be abandoned?”’ Chief Engineer Hood answered that the track runs to the Union and Risdon Iron ‘Works, and is needed. Another point oa which the engineers differ is the con- struction of a stone viaduct across Fifth | street, near Channel, which, Grunsky holds, should be buiit. It was decided by the committee to postpone action unril next Thursday, when, it is thought, the engineers will agree on some modified plans. At that time protestants against the granting of the franchise will also be heard.

The length. of the street to be improved is about 8800 feet.
