The application of Frank J. Kane for letters of guardianship over the persons and estate of the two children of Mary Bartels, the woman who was arrested on suspicion of being insane after she had attempted to burn her home on Stevenson street, was given a partial hearing in the Probate Court vesterday.

The Supervisors adopted, under suspension of the rules, the following resolution, introduced by Supervisor Braunhart: Resolved, That the Board of Civil Serviee Commissfoners be and it is hereby requested and directed to inform this board what examinations n held for eligibles in the public ger ordance with the provisions of arti- the charter, other than for pro- e Police X s, for | - calendar year Resolved, further, that said commiesion be and is hereby requested and directed to furnish @ list showing the names, salaries and posi- | temporary appointees who are e clvil service provisions of the | each of the departments in the city government, as certified December 1, 1903. Braunhart said that the resolution was preliminary to another he would | introduce at a later date directing that civil service examinations be held im- | mediately for the positions not now in- cluded in the merit system. | “It seems to be the opinion of the and of the members of this | aid Braunhart, “that sufficient time has elapsed since the charter went into effect for the holding of all the | examinations for positions in the var ous city departments, I believe that the proposed bond issue would not have | been successful at the polls if the peo- ple had not been under the impression | that the expenditure of the money would be carried out under civil se; ice regulations.” he board postponed action for one week on the proposed ordinance pro- hibiting the operation of the com- pressed air carpet and house cleaning machines on public streets, to give the opponents of the measure an opportu- nity to be heard. City Attorney Lane filed an opinion that it is within the power of the board to regulate the' operation of such ma- .chines on the public streets by the passage of the ordinance, but the cla; “this ordinance shall not affect engines or machinery used in the pro: ecution of public work” would render the meéasure invalid. Lane holds there is no power in the board to permit such when used for one class of nd prohibit them as to other work. The ordinance would al if made applicabie to all ted by motive power upon idewalk or public street, Lane say: L PHILIPPINES CONSIDERED | AS FOREIGN TERRITORY | Chinese Laborers May Not Enter the | United States From the Islands | Without Certificates.

James Daley | was sentenced to serve three years in San Quentin. On November 3 Daley broke into the residence of Mrs. Vir- glnm. Ford, Hawthorne street, and 2 few trifiing articles, although uable pieces of jewelry were within his reach. He went to Oakland that evening and surrendered himself to the police there. He had previous- ly served a term of one year for bur- glar b: rry D. Redd, a colored man, was sentenced to serve one year in San Quentin. He broke into the residence of Mrs. Sadie Williams, 102 Silver street, on November 4 and stole $6 50, a pocketknifg and a revolver from one of the rooms. He w honorably dis- charged from the army last September after serving with Troop M, Ninth Cavalry, in the Philippines. There | was no showing of previous criminal- | ity against him. ‘\ e | Remove Wagons From Streets. By order of the Board of Public Works thirty-six wagons were re- | | moved from Main, Beale and Spear | streets Sunday and conveyed to the | city corporation yards, where they will | be held until the owners pay the ex- | pense of their moving. The manufac- | turing and business houses have been | warned repeatedly by the Board of Public Works to cease using the city | streets as wagon repositories and have | ignored the orders. It is the intention l of the board to see that the city ordi- | nances relating to the blocking of | streets are enforced. Among the firms that were guilty of this practice and | whose wagons were removed are the Judson Manufacturing Company and Henry B. Schindler's wagon factory. PRE— ‘Will Not Issue License, The Board of Bank Commissioners will not issue a license to the promot- ers of the United Banking and Trust Company, which was organized for the purpose of conducting business in this city. The company wishes to do a combination real ‘estate and bank- ing business and the Bank Commis- sion has no authority to issue any but the regular bank license. e e Would Relieve Heirs of Trouble. Arthur Brand yesterday applied to the Superior Court for letters of ad- ministration upon the estate of the late Sophie Kahn. He claims th\ her two_ children, Alfred Kahn anl Sophie Lichenstein, refuse to make any efforts to have their mother's es- tate probated.

FIREMEN FEEL MOST GRATEETL Recent Benefit for Widows’ and Orphans’ Clears Profit of $10,000 N R DONATIONS EXCEED $5000 Department Will Give Annual Entertainment for Cause of Those Left in Need by Death The recent benefit performances at the Grand Opera-house in aid of the widows' and orphans’ fund of the Fire Department resulted in a profit of $10,000 to the worthy cause. With the private subscriptions, including one of | $5000 from Claus Spreckels, the firemen now have more than $15,000 in their treasury. With the tickets sold by the firemen and the cash taken in at the doors of the opera-house, the gross receipts cf the veek amounted to $15,000. The ex- penses of renting the theater and pay- ing the company that appeared there, together with the cost of putting the famous fire scenes, totaled up to a little more than $5000, leaving a handsome balance for the widows' and orphans’ fund. Chief Sullivan and Assistant Chief Dougherty and all the men of the Fire Department feel deeply gratified at the support given to the bencfit by the general public Assistant Chief Dougherty personally supervised the staging >7 the famous fire scenes and Dominick R. Conniff of the Fire Commissioners’ office super- vised the business end of the week's benefit. The desire to witness the thrilling work of the firemen, as presented on the Grand Opera-house stage was so great that it would have been possible to continue the fire scenes for a second week. The firemen, however, feel that th2 public has responded so generously { that when the second annual benefit is | given the citizens will' again give hearty support to the cause of those left behind by the men of the depart- ment who risk their lives fire and saving life. The firemen do not depend upon the public entirely to help the funds of the widows' and orphans’ fund. The men contribute §1 each a month out of their pay in addition to their contributions to the sick benefit fund which they maintain.
