Coroner’s Jury Charges Ed- ward de Labrousse With Crime of Murder. G o R After hearing the testimony in the mat- ter of the inquest upon the body of Mnrtel Jordan the Coroner’s jury yesterday ren- | verdict charging her rejected suitor, BEdward de Labrousse, with mur- | der. The inquest did mot develop any- | thing new except the remorse of the mur-{ | i dered a derer. He was brought handcuffed into the in- quest room by Detective Reynolds, and as soon as his eyes fell upon Sophie Jordan, a sister of victim, he sank into a chalr, exclaiming in heart-broken accents, “My God! Marie! Marie!” He presented a | wretched appearance with the shadow of | his grief dark upon him and the white | bandages around his head covering the wound that marked his effort at suicide. Sophle Jordan testified that her sister | bad kept company with the prisoner for | about four years, their engagement hav- ing been broken about a year ago. The estrangement between him and her sister e ascribed to the thriftles shabits of De abrousse, Marie not having confidence in his ability to support her properly. Leroy Harvey and J. Gambarini, eye- witnesses of the shooting, which took | place on September 29 in front of the Jor- dan home at 1459 ramento street, re- | peated the statements they made to the | police shortly after the murder. They saw | De Labrousse ot Marie three times | and then.fire a bullet into his own head. That was just after the girl had stepped | inside the garden gate. Dr. Luigi Domenico Bacigalupi, autopsy surgeon for the Coroner, testified as to the location of the three wounds in the | dead girl's body. He sald that any one| of them would have been fatal.

Manliness, he| said, was the chief factor that built and | maintained the order. WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN. He referred to the greatness of the lives of Washington and Lincoln, to their steadfastness of purpose, and said that in | every emergency in life they were suffi- clent. Theirs were characters that shone | with such brilliancy out intosthe world that their lights could never be dimmed and could never fade. Theirs were the characters of men—characters that we all should try to emulate. Knowledge was to be sought for, but character was higher than intellect. Re- ferring to the temple, he sald: “This is not to be so beautiful as Solomon's tem- ple of old, but the teachings of the order that possesses it will live for centuries, for they are the teachings that emanate from character and manhood. Manhood is the truest test of greatness.” He closed with a grand peroration upon the subject in question, which brought out a great storm of applause. All assembled then joined in a mighty chorus, singing the doxology, and the grand chaplain concluded the services by offering the benediction. MUSIC IS APPROPRIATE. The musical part of the programme was | in charge of Grand Organist Samuel D. | Mayer and was ably carried out by the King Solomon cholr, consisting of B. M. Lawrence, R. W. Smith, A. Batkin and L. A. Larsén. The hymns chosen were ap- propriate to the laying of the cornerstone: “Great Architect of Earth and Heaven,’” “Thou Eternal, Thou Exalted,” *“Corn, Wine and Ofl” and “Behold, the Lord Hath Laid.” The following members of the Grand Lodge of California took part in the cere- monies: O.

The sum of $5000 in addition to $9000 already spent for the purpose was ap- propriated yesterday by the Board of Supervisors out of the urgent nedessity fund to continue the work of cleansing Chinatown. The money is to be expended under the direction of the special:com- mitiee of the board with the advice of ihe Board of Health. Supervisor d'Ancona told of the good work being done in improving the sani- tary condition of Chinatown and-sald that little or no money would be required after next February for the work. Re- piying to a criticism that the money should not be taken out of the urgent necessity fund D’Ancona said it could not be taken legally from any other fund’ and that the good work accomplished warranted the expenditure. The Board of Works was requested to make a-report in detail as to the exter- nal and internal condition of the bulla- ings in Chinatown with respect to their safety against fire. The petition of property owners that $30 be provided out of the urgent ne- cessity fund to construct a sewer in Buena Vista avenue, from South Broder- ick stree: to Park Hill avenue, was re- ferred to the Finance Committee. The ordinances declaring the length of the main track and assessed value of the Southern Pacific Company at 7.36 miles and $110,400; Central Pacific Railway Company at 2.46 miles and $49,- 414, and the Pullman Company at 7.36 miles and $1156, were finally passed. The ordinance amending the specifica- tions for street work so that hereafter no cobblestone pavement ghall be laid-on any street whose gradient is less than 15 per cent, mo brick pavement on any street whnose gradient exceeds 12 per cent and no basalt block pavement on any street whose gradient exceeds 20 per cent was passed to print. The petition of F. T. Newberry that the city join in the application to Messrs. De Camp J.nd Mosher to improve Second avenue with heavy oil, sand and crushed rock, making a’ road superior to bitumen, was referred to tne Street Committee.

The suit to quiet title to property near the ocean beach brought by Eduard Mar- chand, the restaurant proprietor, against his wife, Evelyn Marchand, was heard yesterday by Judge Seawell and ' taken under advisement. Marchand deeded the property to his wife in April of last year. Two days after he left her last July she filed the deed with the Recorder and some time later brought a suit for main- tenance against him. The suit for sup- port brought forth the suit to quiet title, Marchand cl that he never gave the deed to his wife, but had informed her that it was to be flled after his death. She claims that he gave it to her shortly after he executed it and told her the property was his present to her. —_————— Merchant’s Will Is Filed.

HUBBS, Presii: E. P. E. TROY, Secretary. The petitioner is apparently unaware of the charter provision that requires a two- thirds affirmative vote before any public utility can be acquired by the city. The petition was referred to the Public Utili- ties Committee. The Supervisors’ joint Committee on ! lacked a quorum yesterday when it began consideration of the proposition to take the management of the public pound out of the hands of H. O. Irwin, the Mayor's appointee. Chairman Brandenstein stated that the Police Commission did not want to un- dertake the management of the pound and that it would be necessary to con- sider the offer of the Pacific Humane Society, which was willing to run the pound free of cost to the city, and also that of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which agreed to run the pound and turn all fees over to the city if the board would appropriate 36000 yearly for its maintenance. Brandenstein plainly intimated that the board desired to oust Irwin from the position of Pound- | master. i ““The power to appoint a Poundmaster lies with the Board of Supervisors,” said Brandenstein, “‘and the delegation of the authority to the Mayor is unwarranted by the charter. It is for the Supervi- | sors to determine who shall be the Pound- master.” ‘Wilson disagreed with Brandenstein and ! | | ldolite sixteen feet high. From lepidolite are derivéd medicinal salts.

Eppinger, son of Jacob Ep- pinger, formerly of the defunct firm of Eppinger & Co., is accused of having neglected his wife after he had spent her entire fortune. Mrs. Eppinger, who be- fore she became such was the widow of Charles Schimpf, a large holder of stock in the Orpheum, testified to his alleged neglect in Judge Kerrigan's court yester- day during the progress of the trial of her suit for divorce. She said that within eigh- teen months after her marriage to him l.t' Oakland in 101 he spent her entire for- | tune of more than $60,000 and that néver at any time during their married life did he provide for her. She says penniless. Her testimony was corrobo- rated by that of Mrs. Herman Eppinger, her sister, and wife of her husband's brother. Judge Kerrigan awarded her an.| interlocutery decree. Judge Troutt granted Arthur Fitzhenry an interlocutory decree of divorce from Rosanna J. Fitzhenry on the ground of cruelty. The evidence showed that Mrs. Fitzhenry had a habit of showing her dis- like for her husband by throwing at him large sized chunks of coal, pieces of cord- wood, knives and cuspidors. The bom- bardment occurred every four or five days. 3 Interlocutory decrees of divorce were also granted to Lillian B. from ' ‘William L. for “desertion, Eu- genia 8. Campbell from John H. Camp.

The meeting was called to order by A. L.| Mann, president of the club. A motion was made that the initiation | fee of $5, now charged, be abolished. The ' motion was not seconded, and it was moved by Professor Young of the Lowell High School that the question be put to a vote at the next meeting. The second question under discussion was as to whether or not a reduction of 25 cents be made on the regular monthly dues. | This question will also be put to a vote. | This concluded the business part of the | meeting, and the announcement by Mr. ' { Mann to the effect that a musical pro-| | gramme had been arranged for the even- | iing came as a pleasant surprise to the | sixty teachers assembled in the hall.

Miss Cadwallader's violin solos were very good, particularly the German sleeping song, which was loudly applauded. ————————— CLERKS NOW WORKING ON CITY’S TAX BILLS Busy Men at the Hall Will Labor Night and Day for Some Time. Tax Collector Smith and Auditor Baehr commenced work yesterday on the com- puting and making out of tax bills, based on the recent assessment rolls compiled by Assessor Dodge. The work was de- layed, owing to the raise of assessment by the State Board of Eaualization, and the officials were in doubt as to whether the taxes should be based on the assess- ment of Dr. Dodge or that of the State board. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the taxation should be made on the as- sessment compiled by Assessor Dodge and the work of preparing the tax lists will be vigorously carried on. The Auditor’s forces worked on the as- sessment rolls from 8 a. m. until 11 p. m. yesterday and will continue the comput- ing of taxes until the work is completed. ‘The Tax Collector set sixty men to work at midnight last night and they worked ' until 6 this morning, as it is only during | these hours that the Tax Collector’s | clerks can have access to the books. The Tax Collector's men will continue to work at night until they have completed the work of making out the tax bills.

The ordinance was introduced by Super- visor Walsh at the request of the Master Locksmiths’, Electriclans’ and General Repairers’ Association and is approved by Chief of Police Wittman. The associa- tion calls attention to the fact that al leged irresponsible parties having no fixed place of business make a practice of tak- ing out the inner mechanism of locks and also have in their possession skeletor keys and facilities for selling the to any one who desires to use the unlawful purposes. Also thai records c the Police Department show that by :hese means vacan: houses are locted of iheir plumbing and gas fixtures and rooms !r hotels and lodging-houses are robbed and trunks opened.

Manager Agler stated yesterday that work on the cut-off along Third and Townsend streets and the bay shore to San Bruno will begin some time in De- cember. Meanwhile bids will be asked for 125,000,000 bricks, which are to be used mainly in the construction of four or five tunnels along this route. The tunnels will be built large enough for four tracks, bu for a time only two tracks will be used. It is the intention to build these tunnels so that they may be broadened in the far future, when greater operating facill- ties may be deemed necessary. —_—————— Wanted in Palo Alto.
