Rooney, hrolherdn-law, of Charles Spear, president of the com- mission, the privilege of conducting the news stand in the ferry building, notwitpstanding that the firm of Fos- ter & Orear, who for ten years have enjoyed the privilege, offered a high- unjust one and an er sum, was an prevent Gray Brothers | APuse of its power in the opinion of | Judge Seawell. He has therefore is- isued an injunction restraining Rooney from taking possession of the prem- ises and preventing the board from awarding the privilege to him. The opinion was rendered on a demurrer filed by the board to Foster & Orear’s petition for an injunction. The de- murrer was overruled. By overruling the demurrer Judge Seawell far as the present action is concerned, though the board has ten days to an- | swer the suit. Concerning the power of the board to award the privilege Judge Seawell says: The power to grant the privilege in question is by law vested exclusively in the Board of State Harhor Commissioners. There is no provision | of law requiring the board in granting such a privilege to advertise for bids or to award it to the highest hidder. The exercise of such power is entirely within the discretion of that body. That discretion, however, is what known as a sound and legal discretio excludes arbitrary, capricious and corru tion and such as prompted by imprope tives. It does not imply unlimited license to an officer charged with its exercise to do as he pleases. He is simply an agent of the law and for a lawful purpose, and is required to exercise his discretion fairly, reasonably and honestly, and not for his own purpose, regard- less of the interests of the public. Assuming, as I must for the purposes of this motion, that the allegations of the complaint are trie, it is impossible to reach any other conclusion than that the purpose of the ma- jority of the Board of State Harbor Commis- sioners in awarding to John F. Rooney the privilege in question was to favor a particular n and not to serve the interests of the public, that the board has therefore failed to pers exercize the sound and legal discretion which | and that in the interest of | the law requires, the public it is the duty of the court to re- strain the threatened action of the board. It is claimed on the part of the defendants that the beard has already acted by awarding the privilege to Rooney and that an injunction cannot therefore issue. The complaint alleges, however, that Rooney has made no bid what- ever and has not in any manner obligated himself to accept the award or pay the rental fixed by the board. 1° the allegations of the compiaint are true, he has as yet acquired no right to the privilege awarded him. —_—— COMPLAIN OF FUMES AT WORKS OF GAS COMPANY Potrero Residents Inform the Health Board That Poisonpous Acids Make Them Sick. A number of Potrero residents filed a petition with the Health Board yes- terday requesting that action be taken to eliminate the fumes and poisonous acids from the gas company’s works at Twenty-third and Kentucky streets. The pet.tioners say that the fumes have taken -the vaint off the houses and are making the people sick. District Health Officer Dillon inspect- ed the premises complained of and re- ports that he found the complaint well founded. —_———— Valuable Book Free.

Policeman Skelly returned from Colorado Springs, Colo., yesterday morning with John Burns, who for- feited his bail of $1000.cash by failing to appear for trial in Judge Dunne's r of robbery. Burns and Joseph Reed held up Michael Swetz, a night watchman, on Bryant street July 4 and took 90 cents and a revol- ver from him. They were arrested by Skelly and Reed was conyicted and sentenced to serve seven years in San Quentin. —_—— Do you wear glasses 1y fitti; glasses and Murine, sy."'fi';f.f&, pro- mote Eye comfort.

Thej | prison officials measured Maxim and;nen Michaels, who. may or may not| then tried the Bertillon system on the | turkey. Maxim measured seven inches less than the stolen turkey, but weighed three pounds more. The turkey could not be identified as having done time before, but the story of Maxim’s life was written largely in the records of ! the identification bureau. Judge Conlan sentenced the little fel- low yesterday to a five-month sojourn | in the County Jail. The corpus delicti in the shape of a huge bird, that would feed a hotel in time of need, hung, gracefully over Clerk Jack Rice's desk and he tried to cram it into a drawer, but the property clerk beat him to it and returned the turkey to its rightful owner. . Agnes McCue celebrated Wash- ington’s birthday. When she woke up Tuesday morning she had a holdover. More booze and a tangled trail carried her over until Thursday night, when she made her appearance on the Bar- bary Coast. About midnight she became repent- ant and started for home on board a vellow car that was guaranteed to| carry her out to her lodging, in the Mis- sion. When James Donahue, the con- ductor, tried to collect her fare she de- veloped a refined taste for his ear and | tried to bite off that useful member. The motorman came to his rescue, but | all ears looked alike to Agnes. She | | wanted the motorman’s ear, and suc- | ceeded in biting off a corner of it before | Policeman McPhee arrived on the scene. Then the policeman’s ear looked good to her and she made a desperate at- | tempt to secure the aural appapdage of the officer of the law. When she ar- rived at the City Prison Sergeant Me- lody and his staff were attired in ear| muffs for self-protection. Miss McCue was sentenced to three‘ months in the County Jail by Judge| Cabaniss for disturbing the peace. The charge of cannibalism was not pressed | against her. oo T Charles Liebsher will not get his presents back. That was the judgment | rendered by Judge Conlan yesterday. | Formerly Liebsher had been married, | and he gave the icefloe to his wife in favor of Miss Elizabeth Painter, who| does not paint. In addition he gave her sundry presents of satsumaware, sil- | ver and a mahogany cabinet in which to hold these precious goods. Besides there were 43-cent neckties, silk mufflers somewhat used, muslin| - ‘PLEI‘CHER APPEARS IN | COURT AND PAYS FINE Last Scene Is Enacted in the Unsuc- cessful Attack on the Constitution- ality of Cemetery Ordinance. The final scene in the attack made upon the constitutionality of the ordi- nance prohibiting the interment of bodies in any cemetery within the confines of this city and county was enacted yesterday when George R. Fletcher, ex-superintendent of the| | 0da Fellows’ Cemetery, eame into Po- lice Judge Cabaniss’ court and paid | the fine of $100 imposed upon him for vioiating the ordinance. Fletcher was arrested August 31, 1901, convicted a few days later and fined $100. He appealed to the Su- | perior Court September 23, but was unsuccessful, and April 22, 1902, the! remittitur affirming the judgment of | the lower court was received. Fletcher surrendered himself into custody and was taken before the Supreme Court | on 2 writ of habeas corpus. The writ was dismissed and the prisoner re- manded into the custody of the Sheriff. —_————————— A Remarkable Issue. Nearly every paper of any note in the State of California has taken up the fight for the poor flower sellers who have made San Fran- cisco beautiful, but it has remained for the News Letter of thie week to give the real reason why they were clubbed away from the Chronicle corner. Incidentally this fearless paper puts in a strong plea for the establish- ment of the free flower markets. Governor Pardee is asked some very pertinent questions regarding the Harbor Commission and its strange doings. Park Commissioner Lioyd comes In for a share of blame for the issuance of an order that all men over forty years of uge be discharged. Hearst is flayed because of his unique comparison of himself with Lincoln and many other great men. Of especial interest is the Foreign Affairs article, and at this particular juncture any- thing like an unbiased vlew of the Russo- Japanese war should be of value to all readers. The departments are bright and readable, and as usual the theatrical criticism is caustic | and truthful. Fitzgerald Murphy, the drama- fizer of Wagner's immortal play, has written an article for the News Letter which will give the public a far clearer idea of the great mu- sical compaser's motifs than afiything hereto- fore written. The insurance and financlal columns have the usual reliable quota of news and com- ments, and the News Letter, as the recognized mouthpiece of automobiling enthusiasts, has a department devoted to this great and useful sport that is not cqualed by any newspaper in the W Junius, in one of his interesting letters calcu- lated to make politicians squirm, tells us all about the avallable legislative timber.

The defendant is have been implicated in the divorce proceeding between Copenhaven and| his hefty roll. Both agree that Stanton got the mazuma, and Michaels claims that he contributed $1500 to the se\mlJ account. Michaels was formerly on trial be- fore Judge Fritz, who held him to the Superior Ceurt in bonds of $2000. Judge Cook dismissed him on a writ of habeas corpus and he was immediately rear- rested on the same old charge. Further hearing of the case went over until Wednesday. H. . Ellis is a bold, bad burglr, in the opinion of Charles Everstong.who has a barn on East street. The defend- ant was before Judge Conlan yesterday on a charge of burglary, because he found the door of the barn open and tumbled into a pile of hay therein. He | didn’t steal anything except the slum- ber .and evidently his intentions were | honest. The Judge was inclined to dis- | miss the defendant, but continued his case until to-day for further investi- gation. . Mrs. Sarah Rogers, more familiarly known to the public as the widow of “Duxie” Rosenbaum, who killed him- self in a public bath some years ago, | was dismissed on a charge of suborna- tion of perjury by Judge Conlan yes- terday. Miss Marie Faulkner made a charge that Mrs. Rogers had attempted to bribe her to testify that Willlam and jeorge Marshall deliberately assaulted Mrs. Rogers in front of her home, at Laguna street and Pacific avenue. . e . Patrick Collins fell to the black bot- tle while acting as a nurse at Lane's Hospital. Thursday night he keyed himself up to a stage where he threw a pneumonia patient out into the cold rain, tried to break over again the leg of a man who had been properly run over by a beer wagon and finally went to the crockery in the kitchen in his destructive efforts. A police whistle summoned help be- fore Collins succeeded in throwing the roof of the hospital into the bay. Yes- terday before Judge Fritz he bared his brawny arms to show tattoo marks in- flicted on him by natives of eight isl- ands in"the Southern Seas and insignia from Japan and Formosa. Judge Fritz let him go with a sentence of twenty- four hours on condition that he would take the next outward bound wind- jammer, which he promised to do. — DETECTIVES FIND CHASE'S VALUABLES IN HIS ROOM Guest at Occidental Claims He Was Robbed, but Soon Realizes His Fears Are Groundless. John D. Chase, a recent arrival from Manila, where he holds an important position in Occidental Hotel yesterday morning when he publicly declared that he had been robbed and intimated strong- ly that the bellboy was the guilty per- son. Chase reached this city several days ago and has been staying at the Occi- dental. Thursday evening he decided to see some of the sights of the city and engaged a bellboy to serve him as guide and companion on his rounds. He and the boy parted at an early hour yesterday morning, Chase returning to his room at the hotel. Later in the day he reported fo the hotel management that his wallet, containing $700 and letters of credit for twice that amount, was missing, and after telling of his previous night's experience he suggested that the only solution of the mysterious | disappearance of his valuables might | be obtained in the arrest of the bell- boy. The management of the Occidental finally called in detectives, who list- ened to Chase's story and then pa- tiently awaited the arrival of the bell- boy, who, unfortunately, had over- slept himself in the morning and was late in reporting at the hotel. When taken in charge by the detectives the boy told in a straightforward manner his experiences with Chase the night before, and then the detectives ad-| journed to the Manila man's room, where a search brought to light his money and notes intact in his wallet lying on a bureau, where he had left | them the night before. The detectives scored Chase for his carelessness and hasty charges against the bellboy and the latter got a “roast” from the hotel manager for being late and finally an apology from Chase for the unjust accusation that had been made against him. The in- cident then closed. 4 Expositi>n Special. One of our $6.00 Trunks will be } sition a! uis. e B. Smfth Co., }!! . just Trunk is $9.50. A. iflmm st. —————————— ‘Will Deliver Series of Sermons.

The members did not get together in mumbers sufficient to make a quorum until nearly 4 o'clock and at 5:15 they adjourned to meet again next Friday. | The most important matter before the jury was the report of its Health Department committee, which has been investigating the alleged frauds at the County Almshouse. Dr. Ira B. Dalziel, chairman of the committee, reported that it had begun its investigation by a visit to the Almshouse earlier in the afternoon. The accounts had been ex- amined on the question of the short- age of $386, charged by the present su- perintendent, Frank Schmitz, against his predecessor, William J. Kelley. Then the committee had measured the barrels in which syrup and pork has been furnished by the contractors. | These were found tg.be short, the syrup | barrels containing only thirty-two gal- lons, whereas the contractors charged | for fifty-nine and a half gallons. The | blankets said to be short in weight were weighed and out of two dozen lately furnished as standard five-pound blankets only five were found that reached that weight. The others varied from three and a quarter to four and a quarter pounds.

Foreman Max L. Rosenfeld said after the adjournmént that the sentiment of the members was unan- imously in favor of the open-air flower marts, as they deemed them the best possible advertisement of the floral re- ! sources of the State, as well as an at- tractive feature in the decoration of San Francisco’s streets. | The Grand Jury also purposes taking up -the Sproat case at an early date, giving it a careful investigation.
