Exciting Incident Enlivens Meeting of Board of Public Works —— Touching Story of His Tender Nature and Generous Impulses, (From the “Evening Bulletin," October 21.) | Henry H. Lynch, the Republican can- | didate for Sheriff, is an interesting char- acter. He came to California from Wis- consin when a boy of 16, and at first worked at the carpenter’'s trade. Later on he went into the planing mill busi- ness, and his hands still bear the scars of several encounters with the knives and saws of this establishment. About | 18756 he entered the employ of General | Thomas H. Willlams, father of “Tom” Willlams, the California Jockey Club magnate. General Willlams set him to Property-owners in the Richmond dis- trict locked horns at yesterday’s meeting of the Board of Public Works over the petition of the Point Lobos Improvement Club that Clement street, from First to Tenth avenues, be bituminized and the width of sidewalks be reduced by three | feet. M. Newberry had secured a two- | thirds protest against the performance of | the werk and asked the board to abandon the proceedings.

They were all on the sub- ject of the adoption by the Government of the time indicator made by Richardson's | company. President Richardson testified that he received a letter in 159 from Perry S.

Mrs. Ludmiller Belmont, 27 years old, died yesterday morning at the residence of her parents 9 Adair street, from the effects of an unlawful operation. She came from Vallejo last Monday and went to her parents’ home, where she com- | plained of being sick. Dr. Lasswell was called, but the woman was beyond all cure. Dr. Lasswell informed Detective | Thomas Gibson that Mrs. Belmont had admitted to him that she had herseif per- | formed the operation. When pressed for an explanaticn as to why he had not pro- cured a written statement to that effect from the dying woman he sald that she was too weak to sign a statement. It is nsual in such cases to call in another physician as a witness, but the Morgue records do not show that this precaution had been observed. —_——— TWO AUCTIONS OF CITY 5 Sharp Scramble Takes Place for Prop- erty on Market Street When It Is Under Hammer.

Auditor Baehr's supporters claim that | the account printed about his auditing | $245,751 57 more than was appropriated by | the Board of Supervisors is a canard pro- | mulgated by the Democratic bosses. ! Willlam Broderick knows well that the | story printed yesterday in reference to Auditor Baehr's alleged misappropriation of the city’s funds to an amount running | up into the thousands is false. He knows also that every dollar audited by Mr. | Baehr during the last fiscal year was hon- estly accounted for, and that the Treas- urer holds the Auditor's every demand | for money drawn from the city treasury. These demands the Treasurer holds, and they are open for any investigation that any one wishes to make. Auditor Baehr does not ask the public to belleve him, but merely to refer to the | report for the last fiscal year. | Just to show what causes the “glaring | discrepancies” referred to, the following figures were taken from the officfal report of the Auditor’s office for the year ending | June 30, 1903 | All of the expenditures were within the | Object to Placing Names of Ingredients of Contents on Packages. gy siion A delegation of local druggists headed by S. A. McDonnell and W. A. Searby walted on Mayor Schmits yesterday and strongly protested against the ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors at its last meeting which requires the plac- ing of labels on packages containing sub- stances. intended for human consumption. The ordinance is designed to aid in the | enforcement of the provisions of the new sanitary code recently adopted by the Board of Health and is now in the hands of the Mayor for his approval or veto. The druggists are up in arms against the enacting clause of the ordinance which makes it a misdemeanor for “any person, firm or corporation to sell or of- fer for sale or give away any package, box or bottle containing any drug or sub- stance or fluld intended for human con- sumption, unless such package, box or bottle have thereon a label showing, In plain Roman letters, the name and true quality and Ingredients of the contents thereof.” | The penalty provided for each violation of the ordinance is a fine of 3500 or im- | prisonment in the County Jail for six | months, or by both such fine and impris- onment. The committee of druggists represented to Mayor Schmitz that the ordinance is unjust, as it would compel the manufac- turers of medicines to make public the formula used in their preparations to the detriment of their business. They claimed that the ordinance was uneonafl(uuonll} TRt St e sodig. ke et ',‘l’,h‘i‘; { appropriations made by the Board of Su- vulge the secrets o s trade.
