It was long after the hour set for its meeting that the Board of Public Works came together yesterday after- noon. There was an interested crowd of spectators present and the proceed- ings of the board were keenly watched, for it was known that the distribution of patronage would begin at once. President Michael Casey called the meeting to order. Seated at the table were Commissioners Marsdon Manson and Herbert L. Schmitz and Thomas Woodward, the new Commissioner. Nicholas Jortall, the outgoing. secre- tary of the board, and W. Chester moved ‘that it be received and spread | on the minutes. - Commjssioner Man- son withdrew and in doing so: ex- pressed his Kindly feelings toward the officers and employes of the board. He #14 he wouid ever remember their ‘kindne sses and many courtesies. Lummnssmncx Casey then anmounced that his term as president of the board had expired and the election of a president was in order. Commissioner Woodward nominated Herbert L. Schmitz and he was elected without opposition. In taking the head of the table Commissigner Schmitz expressed his thanks for the high honor accord- ed him. In surrendering the gavel Commissioner Casey said he would al- ways do everything in his power to ist his fellow members in the dis- arge of their duties. The board then appointed Morris Thomas Egan, store- keeper of the Board of Education, was appointed gas and water inspector, vice Otis M. Tupper. H. S. Syron was deposed as head janitor and Joseph Bellett was ap- pointed in his stead. William Mind- was appointed his assistant in Wil- liam Sawyer was removed as head janitor of the Hall of Justice and Jo- seph H. Spohn appointed. Before the meeting adjourned C. E. Grunsky, City Engineer, asked leave of the board to express, on behalf of his fellow employes, the high esteem in which they held Marsdon Manson. The bgard then adjourned to meet next week. The Board of Election Commissioners held a meeting at noon and the new Commissioners—James A. Devoto, Thomas McGuire and E. .C. Leffingwell —were inducted into office. . The board immediately reorganized by the election of Commissioner R. W. Roberts as president for a term of one year. ROGERS FOR PRESIDENT. The Civil Servict Commission also met and the new appointee, Charles J. Williams, took his seat. The commis- sion reorganized by re-electing Com- missioner John Rogers as president. No changes were made in the office force, all members. of which are under civil service. The Board of Education will meet this morning at 11:30 o'clock, when and Thomas Boyle will take their seats. Director Roncovieri will be elected ‘president of the board, Walsh on the supplies cammittee, Boyle on the build- ing committee and Mark on the high school committee. John G.

GREIF TAKES HOLD. ‘‘Gentlemen, go to work.”” With these words County Clerk John Greif promptly at noon yesterday assumed control of the office that for the last two years has been under the super- vision of Bert Mahony. Greif set hig men a good example by removing his hat and taking up his position at the judgment desk, the place he fiiled for many years. The men appointed to fill desks in the various courtrooms and the oth- ers assigned to duty at the Hall of Jus- tice all having been sworn in during the early hours of the morning, laft for their posts of duty and the copy- icts and others took the places allot- ted to them. Within an hour the force was working as if it had been drilled for months. Because of his selection of experienced men the new County Clerk was enabled to receive the office from Mahony and take up his duties without a hitch. It was expected that Mahony would make some’ sort of an attempt to pre- vent Greif taking the office, but the retiving County Clerk disappointed every one.. He simply stood around and wafched the imen who had served under him and 'Who had not bgen re- appointed by Greif lTeive thélr~desks to make room for theirsjiccessors. When ‘the-axchange. had:been .made’ he handed hisikeys over to firief_and walked -out: sHe: willi -however, try to regain’ posséssion bf ‘the’ office’ not- withstanding that Judge Seawell practically threw out of court his suit to hold over ‘for another twe -years. Peter F. Dunne, his attorney, is pre- paring a petition for an order direct- ing Greif to appear in the Superior Court and show cause why his cer- tificate of election should not be de- clared void. This is his only remedy, because Presiding Judge Frank H. Kerrigan and Judges Hebbard and Murasky absolutely refused to issue an injunction restraining Greif from interfering with Mahony in his pos- session of the office of County Clerk. MAHONY BREAKS WINDOW. One of Mahony's Jast acts as County Clerk will prove a source of expense to the city. Late Thursday night he visited his office for the purpose of fil- ing the suit for the injunction denied him by the three Superior Judges.” He had no keys with which to'secure an entrance and got in with the aid of a monkey-wrench. ~He borrowed the wrench from a nearby resort and sent it crashing through a large glass door and then reached through the aperture and unlocked it. It was rumored for a time yesterday that while filing the document he had taken advantage of his opportunity to take from the of- fice a number of cash books and other paraphernalia of the office, but this was found to be untrue. At least it was declared untrue by County Clerk Greif. Chief Deputy Deane and Regis- trar Clerk E. ® Casey, each of whom sai@ they had made an exhaustive search of the office and found no evi- dence that any books had been taken. J. ¥. Groom, who was ‘appointed by Greif to serve in one of the courtrooms at the Hall of Justice, had his appoint- ment revoked by Greif early yésterday morning. , Complaint had been made to Greif that Groom had been con- nected with a recent bail money scan- dal and the County Clerk promptly notiffed him' that his services were not needed. George Wells was appointed in his place. The nppolntmem. of Copylst Halsey, who was on Greif's original list, was also revoked. DEPUTIES SWORN IN. ‘The following are the names of the men sworn in as deputies, clerks and assistants in the office of County Clerk inside track for appointment as store- keeper of the board, vice Thomas Egan, promoted to gas inspector. LONG TAKES OFFICE. City Attorney-elect Long, with his force of deputles, gathered in the City Attorney’s office at 10 .o’clock. They were welcomed in a felicitous speech by the retiring City Attorney, Franklin K. Lane. Long introduced his deputies, For sale @t our headquarters and at our different stores throughout Cali fornia. John 8. Patridge, 'W. I Brobeck, John P. Coghlan, Luther Elkins, John T.

The ousting of Emery will be pre- liminary to the abolishment of a num- ber of other positions in the Health Department, which is to be reorganiz- -ed along lines of the recommendations made by Mayor Schmitz in his mes- sage on the municipal budget last year, when his Honor vetoed certaifi appropriations for salaries. This will result in the loss of positions among the clerical force in the main office, among certain inspectors and in other branches of the department.

Hynes, took place in Judge Sloss’ court yester- day at the hearing of a number of applications for letters of administra- tion upon estates. Carleton M. Greene, Farnham's attorney, opposed the grant- ing of the petitions of Cullinan & Hickey, Hvnes' attorneys, on the ground that they did not take office un- til noon, and therefore their applica- tions were premature. Hynes' attor- neys won the fight, the court deciding that their client became Public Admin- istrator one sccond after midnight on the night of January 7. Farnham yesterday secured an order directing Hynes to appear before Judge Murasky to show cause why his certii- cate of =lection should rot be declared 3 A. Houston, insane naturalization de- veid. The: injunction asked for /by Farnham was refused him by Jjudg: Murasky.

A communica- | tion from Franilin K. Lane was read, | in which the statement was made that | the lots were designated as a market place and that the Supervisors had al- ways assumed control of the property. Commissioners Lloyd and Sullivan maintained that the land in question was dedicated to the people for park purposes. It was resoived to place the matter before the new City Attorney. Percy Vo Long, and a letter to that officer of the city was dictated to the gecretary of the commission. It is be- leved that the maps and ordinances will . show that the property. was re- served for park uses. A lease of the land granted by the Board of Supervisors to a lumber com- pany expires to-day, and a preposition is pending to lease the lots to the Bay Shore Railroad Company.

Maguire eulogize the memory of Andrew Jackson befor the members of the Iroquois Club las evening. His address was singular! apropos, ag yesterday was the ann versary of the battle of New Orleans in which Jackson took a leading part Judge Maguire reviewed the politica and military achievements of Andrew Jackson, and also recited a poem de scriptive of the battle of New Orfeans said to have been written by a private soldier that took part in the conflict He also took up a discussion of th controversy ‘between certain Senato and President Jdckson on the latter interpretation of the constitution. “Jackson’s interpretation of the eon stitution was challenged by certain of the Senators and he was severely eriti- “because his construction was not in accord with that of the jurists of the coumtry and some of the decisions of the United States Supreme Court. Jackson de clared that he was sworn to uphold and enforce the comstitution of the United States, not according to the construction to be put upon it by other men, but according to his own consci- entious construction of the instrument itself. “He further said that that power and duty had been deeded to him by the people. Jackson was defamed and ridi- culed for the position he took, but ad hered to it, and it was not long before the jurists and law writers of the coun try admitted that his position and.the ory in the matter were unimpeachable. The address was listened to with deep interest by the members and greatly ANNIVER BATTL! enjoyed. Previdus to it ex-Sachem Max Pop- per installed the following officers Sachem, William H.

Refresh ments were served between sougs. s trance to said park, and terminating at the exit on the great highway (which latter is somefimes .called the Ocean boulevard), which driveway is known as the south’drive in Goldén Gate Park, and also ‘osi-and ‘upon what is known 1in ‘GoMer Gate Park as the eentral or ovérlooR<drive in said park. and also on and upon the said great highway commencing wihiere the northerly dine would intersect said great highway thence southerly from said line to the southerly end of said great highway Only such vehictes as are exclusively used for pleasure shall be permitted | upon said drives and highways.” Section 2 regulates the speed on the | south drive, limiting the pace to ten miles an hour. On the great highway the speed must not exceed six miles an hour. It is provided that mufflers shall be used and every precaution taken to prevent unnecessary noise. The third section provides that any person violating the provisions of the ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by imprisonment not exceeding six months or by a fine not exceeding $500 nor less than $50. The proposition to allow automobiles to travel on what is known ag the overlook dgive caused debate. Mr. Lioyd said the privilege was especialiy desired in order that strangers visiting the park in automobiles might get a | fair view of the surroundings. It was the sense of the commission that the automobile had come to stay, and that these using carriages of this fashion should enjoy such facilities as could be safelv extended, but that the important fact should always bé con- sidered that the park was created for the people and not for a wealthy class.
