Makes a Plea That Money B Applied to Some Public Betterments. PRI 05 % o Declares Too Much of the City’s Reve- nue Is Expended in Pay- ment of Extravagant Salaries. LRSS e Mayo6r Schmitz yesterday transmitted to the Board of Supervisors his vetoes of specific items in the municipal tax budget adopted by the Board of Supervisors for the next fiscal year, in accordance with his recommendations filed last week. The Mayor renews his assertion that the sal- ary roll is too high and that money saved by reducing compensation paid to city employes or by abolishing positions should be applied to permanent public improvements. He vetoes items aggre- gating $189,970, which, he claims, may be eliminated without crippling the depart- ments affected. The Mayor had until to-morrow to transmit his vetoes to the Supervisors, but as the budget must be finally adopted before the last Monday in June he did not take the full time allowed by the charter. The board must now take action on the | vetoes in five days, so in all likelihood a special meeting will be called next Fri- day. It will take fifteen votes to over- ride the vetoes, but these will be forth- coming if the Supervisors do not experi- ence a change of heart since the final | passage of the budget in defiance of the Mayor's recommendations. FORMER RECOMMENDATIONS. The Mayor eliminated in his veto mes- sage his former recommendations for re- duction which agg 70, notably that of $25,000 in the street cleaning ap- | propriation, although he still adheres to aved anced. his belief that the money could be and the wages of the laborers ad The age on the vetoes fol- lows: “Executive Department, Mayor's Office, ancisco, June City and County of San F 3.—To the Honorable, The Board of Gentlemen: In accordance ons of chapter I of article ITI ter 1 received from you on June 11, 1803, your budget of the amounts estimated to be required to pay the ex- penses of conducting the public business | of the city and county for the next ensu- ing fiscal year. “I hereby veto and return to you with- out my approval the items of said budget hereinafter specified. “In considering the budget of the last fiscal year I came to the conclusion that certain items therein contained could well be eliminated without injury to the public interests and I therefore returned without my approval last year certain items of said budget, aggregating the sum of $134,700. On consideration of said vetoes by your honorable body last year the same were not sustained for the al- leged reason, among others, that the board was by courtesy entitled to prior | notice of my objections. While this did not seem to me to be a sufficient or sub- stantial ground for such action, and while my failure to state my objections prior to the transmission of my veto was not an intentional omission, I felt that in the in- terest of economy in the municipal ad- ministration the vetoes should have peen sustained. FAVORS REDUCTIONS. “To remove a similar possible objection this year I undertook.at great pains and with much labor, within a ver: space of tive or six days, elapsing be- tween the adoption of the budget and your final action thereon, to recommend to you, while it was still in my power, to reduce the estimates and make certain deductions in what I considered. unneces- sary or extravagant salaries and other items, in order that you might consider the same before final action by your hon- orable board on the budget for the ensu- ing fiscal year, and obviate the otherwise unpleasant necessity ofa veto on my part, of the items referred to in my message of recommedation filed with you on the $th instant. For I assure you, gentlemen of the board, that it is with no desire to reflect upon your action or to occupy an arbitrary or autocratic position, but sole- ly from an absolute desire to endeavor in some manner to cut down the exagger- ated disproportion between the aggregate amount consumed in the payment of sal- arles in” the administration of this city and the small amount annually allowed and for permanent substantial mu- | recommended by your Finance Commit- nicipal betterments, that I consid- | tee. Of this large sum $203,28 is directly ered it proper to suggest the rec-|appropriated for salaries, $69,442 for per- ommendation of reduction before | manent improvements, $15,000 for comple- your final action, and I now feel my- Belf obliged with much regret to lay be- fore you this veto message. For notwith- standing the full and free discussion which ensued after receipt of my mes- sage of June 8, 1903, . your honorable board saw fit to pass, without a single change, the budget as already prepared and which formed the basis of my sug- gestions of reduction. NO WORDS OF REPROACH. “I have no words of personal reproach to place before you, nor have I any pride of personal satisfaction to gratify, and in communicating to you now these vetoes I again assure you that they are based upon a sincere desire-founded upon my experience In office to reduce somewhat the current expenses of municipal admin- istration caused by a pernicious system of wasted efforts on the part of employes of various municipal departments and to a too liberal allowance of unnecessary employes and inflated salaries; and I am induced to present to you this veto mes- sage with less reluctance because of a practically unanimous demand on the part of the taxpaying citizenship of San Fran- cisco that the amount expended by the city for salaries should be reduced to somewhat 'like a reasonable basis, and that out of the moneys economized by such reduction our streets, our sewers and our public buildings should be sub- stantially improved. “I also called your attention in my mes- sage of June 8 to the fact that of some $6,000,000 to be collected by taxation for the ensuing year about $4,000,000 is to be cxpended in salaries, \and I stated in that message, and I have seen no reason since to change my opinion, that it is an evi- finding of negligence | dence of anything but sound business that such a disproportion should exist be- AKLAND, June 20.—Stalwart turn- ers are here fr@m all parts of the State to attend the fifth Gauturn- fest of the Pacific Coast, which Ils being held under the auspices of the | Oakland Turnverein. Men who have won fame in athletics are here to compete for prizes. To-night fully five hundred mem- bers marched through the brilllantly lighted streets of Oakland. To-morrow 1500 more are expected in the city. Germania Hall has been utilized as the hcadquarters of the visitors. The build- irs has been handsomely decorated, both | outside and inside, and presents a gala sppearance. The committee of arrange- ments has worked hard to make every- | thing pleasant for the visiting organiza- | tions. To-night Germania Hall was crowded | with turners and friends of the organiza- tion. After the parade the Turners list- | ened to words of welcome from leading citizens of this city. In the absence of | Mayor Olney from the city, Councilman | Dornin greeted the visitors. Thegdore | Gier, grand marshal of the parade, also spoke. Albert Currlin, editor of the Ozk- land Journal and president of the Oak- | 1and Turnverein, delivered a speech in | German, which was received with hearty applause. In part he said: WELCOMES VISITORS. “I welcome you, Turners and friends, in the name of the Oakland Turnverein and the Pacific Turn district. The citizens of | Oakiand, especlally the German-Amerl- | cans, are glad to have you here and we | will endeavor to arrange everything for | your comfort and well being, so you will feel at home. You are surrounded by friends and we hope that after the work and pleasures of this festival are over you will leave us with the feeling that you have been among friends. (Applause.) “To the active Turners, singers and sharpshooters I say, make your best ef- forts to be successful. Show your skill and accomplishments in your noble arts; try hard to win a prize, the first if pos- sible; but remember one thing, nobody | can do more than do his best. Therefore, ! be magnanimous, whether victorious or defeated. “Keep always one point in mind, and that is, the German system of gymnastics is not a sport. It is a well-defined sys- tem of harmoniously developing from youth up the bodies of men and women so that they may become strong, healthy, beautiful and useful in life. . Health is wealth, health is pleasure, health is life. The German system not only strives to develop the body, but the mind, of its dis- ciples. It teaches them self-reliance, love of liberty and justice, | brotherhood and sisterhood of men and women. “The history of the North American Turnerbund,- of which the Pacific circult is a branch, is an interesting one. It goes back more than half a century, and you may well be proud of it. Its history tells us how a handful of liberty loving men built up a splendid organization, which | has always stood for right and justice. This organization has for the last fifty tween the amount paid for salaries.and the amount paid for municipal improve- ments. “I am more than convinced that the items to which I herewith submit my ob- jections can be expunged without the slightest injury to public service or the city’s welfare. “I therefore submit to your earnest and careful consideration the following spe- cific vetoes, and respectfully submit to your honorable board that the public of San Francisco would be delighted with your action if for once the Board of Su- pervisors would rise to action and 'co- operate in an earnest effort for business economy in municipal affairs. TOO MUCH FOR SALARIES. “The total amount allowed the Board of Works is only $769,867, as against $304,747 allowed last year, and as against $754,017 tion of pesthouse, $60,550 for repairs to public buildings, $76,200 for cleaning sew- ers, $215,000 for cleaning streets, $105,000 for repairs to streets, leaving about $25,00 for supplies, tools and all other expenses. “Bearing in mind that each of the items above enumerated covers salarles for oth- er inspectors and foremen, it must at once occur to you that the direct amount specified as payable for salaries is out of all proportion to the results to he achieved. And this is especially so of the office. forces. “In conclusion I beg to call your atten- tion to the fact that no vetoes have been made in the appropriations for . public schools, parks, fire department, depart- ment of electricity, civil service depart- ment, Free Library or the police depart- ment, or for any permanent improvements in any department. SAVING MAY BE EFFECTED. “I have not scrutinized the budget, and 1 do not make these vetoes with any idea that I have entirely covered the field of possible reductions. I have earnestly en- deavored to point out. the possibility of saving some of the money.to be paid-by TURNERS GATHER AT CALL FOR F'IFTl-I GAUTURNFEST E | | - S OAKLAND TURNERS WHO ARE ACTIVELY WORKING FOR SUCCESS OF GAUTURNFEST.

Frank Wilson, one of the wire workers who have been on a strike for the last four months because of difference with the American Steel and Wire Company, the works of which are at Sixteenth and Folsom streets, was shot in the . left breast - yesterday afternoon by a fellow striker named Willlam McGoldrick at the corner - of Fourteenth and Shotwell streets. The shooting was the culmina- tion of a general row at a meeting of the striking wire workers at the union's headquarters, 1744 Fifteenth street. About 125 members of the union met to discuss the advisability of going back to work. A large majority was against the resumption of labor, but about twenty- five of those present announced their in- tention of going back to work to-morrow morning on the terms offered by the company. - This precipitated a free fight in which nearly everybody in the meeting took part, but there were no serious cas- ualties. After the meeting Wilson, in company with Cornelius Currie and two other men, went to a saloon. at the corner of Fif- teenth. and Folsom streets. They were drinking at the bar, when MecGoldrick, Herbert Dunham and another man en- tered and attacked the quartet. Wilson was struck on the jaw with a club and Currie was hit in the face with a similar the taxpayers of San Francisco so they may see some other use made of it than the payment of unnecessary and extrava- gant salaries.

They escaped from the saloon and started for Currie’s residence at 1501 Shotwell street. In order to avoid their assallants, Wilson says, they went down Shotwell street, intending to enter the house by the rear way.

Wilson fell to the sidewalk and McGoldrick and his com- panions ran away. Currie helped Wilson to his feet and assisted him to a drug store on the corner of Erie and Folsom streeta. Policeman Thomas F. Conlin, who heard the shot, found Currie and Wilson in the drug store and had both conveyed to the Central Emergency Hospital. Dr. Boskowitz found that Wilson had been shot in the left breast, the ball striking a rib and following it until it lodged against the spine. It was extracted and the wound pronounced not to be dangerous. Currie was treated for the wound on his face and sent home. Detectives Taylor, Fitzgerald and Gra- ham were at once detailed to find Mec- Goldrick and all others connected with the assault, but no arrests had been made up to a late hour last night.
