Hartley. The | | suspensions are temporary, dating from September 21 to October 5 and the cause | alleged In a communicatnon sént on Mon- | day to the four suspended officials is “the | continuous unsatisfactory performance of | their duties in the districts to which they | are assigned from the beginning of the | present fiscal year.” # | The suspensions were made by Health | Officer A. P. O'Brien, only, however, af- | ter consultation with the individual mem- bers of the Board of Health. Complaints had been made to O’Brien that the four | inspectors, all of whom are physicians, had been negligent in their inspections of the districts under their immediate super- vision and Dr. O'Brien declared that the complaints warranted the disciplining of the inspectors by temporarily suspending | them. The greatest secrecy has been maintained by the Health Board regard- ing the suspensions, as it was not desired to injure the physicians under fire in their professional capacity, ACTS UNDER CHARTER. Actlon was taken under the provisions | of section 12, article 13, which states that ‘“‘nothing shall limit the power of any of- ficer or board to suspend a subordinate ‘fur 2 reasonable period, not exceeding thirty days.” For any suspension in ex- cess of thirty days action can only be | taken on charges properly filed with the Civil Service Commission, as the sanitary ir.slzecmrs are appointed from the eligi-| ble” list. The charter provides that no civil service appointee can be removed ex- | cept for cause and then only after a hear- | | ing in which the accused may be given an opportunity to defend himself. \ Health Officer O'Brien, acting under au- thority from the Health Board, was of the opinion that a suspension of two| weeks was severe enough to meet the exigencies of the case. In this way the | suspended inspectors avoided the humil- iation of a trial before the Civil Service Commission. 2 The four inspectors were unwilling to submit tamely to suspension and there- fore Dr. Fitzgibbons, one of the suspend- ed men, sent a communication to Health Officer O'Brien asking him to rescind his | action. Dr. O'Brien immediately sent communications in reply, one of which says: - September 21, 1903. Dr. F. T. Fitzgibbons: After deliberation and consultation with members of the Healtn Board who are familiar with the dereliction in your case, it has been concluded that the sus- pension must stand as originally opdered. * A, P. O'BRIEN, Health Officer. APPOINTS TO VACANCIES. The inspectors will therefore be re- lieved from duty until Monday, October 5, 193, and the Health Board will pro- ceed to appoint temporary inspectors from the civil service eligible list during the | interim. Yesterday a requisition was | sent by the Health Board to the Civil| Service Commission asking the last named body to certify the names of four eli-| gibles from the list of assistant sanitary inspectors The Civil Service Commission at once certified the names of Fred C. Muller, | Joseph Kukendall, Fred Howe and Reu- | ben Hill. The certification of these names exhausted the eligible list and Dr. Fred C. Muller was at once appointed by | Brien to look after the district former- | | 1y supervised by Dr. Fitzgibbons. In all | likelihood Drs. Kukendall, Howe and Hill | will receive appointments to the tempo- rary vacancies to-day, that is, if they | express a willingness to serve the city for such a short period as two weeks. Should they not accept appointment the Health Board will find itself in a dilemma, as three districts will remain without sani- tary inspection for the time stated. ——— ENGINEERS PUNISHED FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE Licenses of Three Officers of the Umatilla Are Suspended for Fifteen Days. Local Inspectors O. F. Bolles and J. K. Bulger made the following report yester- day to Supervising Inspector Berming- ham: In the matter of the Investigation of the cause of the burning of the donkey boiler of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer Umatilla, upon examination of the marine engineers of said steamer for allowing the water to become low in the donkey boiler | on the morning of the occurrence (September | 4. 1903). we find that First Assistant Engineer | John W, Haughton Second Assistant Thomas Concannon and Third Assistant Robert E. Gore were on watch at different times on the morning of the 4th while the fires were lit under the donkey boliler, and that during that time the water became so low that the in- Der sheet of the combustion chamber and the back head of the boiler were badly damaged. It was impossible for us from the testimony taken to place the blame directly or solely on any of the licensed officers, to justify a revo- cation of license, but we do find that all three of the assistant engineers were inattentive to thelr duties in so far as they falled to dis- cover that there was not sufficient water in the boller on the occasion in question. For such inattention to duty we have this day suspended the license of ‘each the above named engineers for a period of fifteen days from date. Chief Engineer Wolters is exonerated from blame in the matts * BSaves Girl From Disgrace. ‘When the case of Minnie Stolker, a girl 18 years of age, charged with petty lar- ceny, was called before Police Judge Fritz yesterday Edward Hansen,’a yqung car- penter, stepned forward and ti the Judge that he had been keeping company with the girl for two months and was willing to marry her. He said they both belonged to Petaluma, where the girl's father was a dealer in cattle. The Judge sald be did not like to have the girl dis- graced by convicting her of petty larceny and allowed her to ge on her own recog- nizance so that she could go to her home in Petaluma and prepare for her wed- ding. The case was continued for a week. The girl was accused of stealing a raglan coat from Mrs, Tracy of Ocean View last March. ————— ‘Woodmen’s Smoker.

SR Advances Many Reasons Why Common Law Should Not Prevail. “Is a dog property?” is a question that has been submitted to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for a legal an- swer. Under common law of England a dog is not property, and the stealing of one is not a crime, not even a misdemeanor, | no matter how valuable the animal may be. This vital question comes up on an ap- peal filed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of P. C. Burkal, now in jail at Rampart, Alaska, for taking possession of a dog without consent of his master. The Judge of the United States District Court for | the Southern District of Alaska convicted Burkal and rendered an elaborate opin- ion in effect that no matter what a dog might be in England and in America, the dog was property in Alaska and a man could be convicted for stealing one. The animal which Mr. Burkal took under the common law was valued at $34, a petty larceny value, and Burkal was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. Judge ‘Wickersham emitted the following jewels in delivering his opinion: The dog is mot specifically mentioned In the statute of Alaska among the animals or other property subject to larceny. If it is prop- erty whose taking Is larceny, it must be be- cause it is Included In the meaning of *'goods and chattels” whose taking is made larceny by Section 41 of the Penal Code. * * * Sec- tion 43 does not specifically mention swine or &heep as the subject of larceny, yet it will not Dbe claimed that they may be taken without punishment. THE DOG IN ALASKA. Gold dust is not mentioned in either sec- tion, yet it has never been doubted that its theft might be punished as larceny. A dis- tinction, however, is urged between the theflt of these classes of property and that of dogs, and this distinction is based upon the alle- gation that swine, sheep and gold dust are property, the theft of which is punishable at common law, while the taking of a dog never was and is not now larceny at common Nevertheless, a dog s a chattel. * Whoever has made even the slightest study of the ethnology of Alaska or has given to its present development a minute's thought knows that the dog has been, next to man, the most_important factor In its past and present history. * % * When the news of the distovery of the Klondike and Nome gold flelds attracted thousands of American miners into this re- glon, he was found to be the most ready, use- ful and active animal in aiding them to reach the mines. From that day to this he has been the constant companion of the prospector, the miner and the freighter, aid -and sagacity the efforts of even American languished. He has served the cause of jus- tice and aided in the establishment of "the courts, and the Judge of this court has traveled hundreds of miles along Alaska trails each winter upon vehicles drawn by the dogs, in the performance of his official duties. SOLE BEAST OF BURDEN. Last winter a whole population of - civil- ized men and women invaded the dense wilder- ness of the Tanana Valley mofintains amid the blizzards of Arctic blasts, and established permanent towns and min- ing camps there, depending upon this valuable | animal as their sole beast of burden and only means of transportation. Hundreds of ani- mals of the best breeds have been imported into the territory from the States as well as from the British territories, in Alaska, second to no other animal. He is to the far northland what the horse was to the development of the great plains west of the Mississippi. It cannot be presumed that Congress was ignorant of his history and value to the peeple of Alaska when it passed the Penal Code. This court will not, by a limited construction, exclude the dog from the pro- tection of the Penal Code of Alaska nor ought it to do violence to the well established r of decisions declaring the animal not the sub: Ject of larceny under the common law. * ¢ « However, I am satisfled that In our condition in this territory a dog Is property of a high pecuniary value, and is the subject of larceny under the very principle upon which the common law determined that question. The prisorer at the bar was righttully tried | and convicted for the larceny of a dog and harged upon habeas corpus. ————— Chamber of Commerce Meets. At the monthly meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce held yesterday the fol- lowing named business men and firms were elected to membership: Alameda Sugar Company, California Sugar and White Pine Agency, W. W. Clark & Bros., J. H. N. Clausen, Meyer & O'Brien, Louis Rosenthal and Henry P. Sonntag. It was suggested for the interest of ship- ping men that the following clause be inserted in bills of lading: ‘“‘Any disputed claim against the vessel not exceeding $100 to be settled by arbitration commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce of the port in which dispute arises or by arbi- trators selected by parties in interest and to be binding on said parties, arbitration fees to be paid by loser or losers.” iy e e e bl ‘Wants Name of Street Changed. A petition signed by property owners on Sullivan street was filed with the Board of Supervisors yesterday asking that the name of the street be changed to Parnassus avenue. The petitioners aver that confusion arises because there are other streets in the city known by the name of Sullivan street. —_—— Must Furnish Proper Books. The Supervisors' Printing Committee yesterday directed the firm of Phillips & Smythe to furnish certain books for the City Engineer’s office for which they were awarded the contract in accordance with the specifications. The books they de- sired to furnish were deemed unsuitable for the use of the office named. ST.

Railroad Officials Think'He Was-Slain and Then Robbed. — COLTON, Sept. 22—W. L. Baugus, con- ductor of a Southern Pacific work train running in and out of Declez Quarrys | east of here, was found dead beside the |track early this morning with his head | crushed to an almost urecognizable mass. The body was discovered by a section | crew two miles east of this city. Baugus had evidently been murdered by powerful | blows on the head. It is presumed by the railroad officials | that he came-to Colton yesterday to cash | his pay check and that on his return, either in the Colton yards or further out, 'he was set upon by thugs, beaten to | death and robbed of the $150.which he 18 supposed to have had with him. One theory is that the man’s body was | carried out of Colton on a handcar and | thrown into the ditch during the night, | as there were few signs of a struggle where he was found. | — e CAPITALIST BUYS GUN AND COMMITS SUICIDE Wealthy San Diego Resident Shoots Himself Immediately After the Purchase.
