He took to | heart very much the notoriety into | which his wife’s conduct brought him, and it is belleved that grief over the' | unfortunate affair sapped his strong | constitution and prematurely ended his life.

Accompanying the estimate is an explanatory communication, in | which Baehr calls attention to the neg- ligence of the departments of Works and Electricity to file their requests in time. The letter follows: “SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 1904. | “To the Board of Supervisors: In submitting my budget to your board for the fiscal year 1904-1905 I feel that I must renew a few of my suggestions of last year and call your attention again to some of the places in the city gov- | ernment where conservative uses of public moneys will do the most good. It is to be regretted that many of the departments cannot be allowed - more funds to enable them to conduct their respective offices to the best advan- | tage. 4 “I have recommended that the appro- priation for the Police Department for the ensuing year be inqeued by $160,- | 000, in order that the police force may | be increased commensurate with the demands of a fast-growing common- wealth. San Francisco has long since thrown off ‘her infancy and is growing into maturity. The increase in her pop- { ulation has been enormous during the past two years.

B Shortly after 8 o’clock last.evening | a collision occurred at the junction of Fillmore and Hayes streets between a cable and an electric car, both of which were well crowded with pas- sengers, who fortunately escaped seri- | ous injury. Just as the Fillmore-street car was crossing Hayes an eastbound | car on the latter street was coming { down the steep hill. Foreseeing the danger of a collision | the gripman immediately put on his | brakes and turned on his sand box. but, owing to the slippery condition of the rails, the brakes were of little service and his car continued on its downward course, finally crashing into the electric car. The cable car was thrown off the track and around broadside with the electric car. The windows in both cars wére shattered | and the footrail on the left side of the | cable car was wrenched off. | Passengers sitting inside of both cars were tossed about and badly frightened, while those. occupying | seats on the outside anticipated the | collision by jumping off the cars, d |not a few of the latter, including sev- eral young women, were rolled in the mud. The only injuries sustained were scratches received by those that fell on the street while scrambling to a | place of safety. | —_———————— | YOSEMITE. | Santa Fe the Big Tree Way. | groves of Big Trees in the Yosemite Na- { tional Park.

The city has out- grown its present police force. The in- troduction of the eight-hour law in the | department has, of necessity, made a | demand for additional patrolmen and better equipment. It is a penny-wise- | and-pound-foolish “policy, a saving at | the spigot, etc., to neglect adequate po- lice protection. The impression has gone abroad that San Francisco is run- | ning under the wide-open-town system, | which has invited " here the criminal | element in large numbers. The increase | I have recommended for this depart- ment will add a little over one hundred extra patrolmen, with a proportionate complement ‘of necessary officers and equipment. | FIRE DEPARTMENT. “The Fire Department is {n need of | many improvements and more engine | companies. The men are desirous of ;securlng four days in each month-(in- | cluding Sundays) for their home asso- | clatlons, and the appropriation I have recommended avill provide the: necefi- | sary substitutes during thelr absence, I have accordingly made a provision for an increase of $50,000 to equip the department so that it can successfully fight fires. This will lessen the burdens | of the men incidental to thelr too close ]lpp"tlllon to duty, and in the long | run prove a saving to the city. “I am extremely gratified to be able | to recommend an increase in the allow- | ance of the School Department for sal- | aries and improvements. It should re- ceive something in excess of $1,300,000 to conduct its various branches and make sanitary alterations in numerous school buildings. It is to be hoped that the bond issue will be brought to a speedy settlement through the Supreme Court, so that all their funds will soon be available. “I am actuated purely by motives of fairness in again calling your atten- tion to the justness of the interest de- mands due our merchants on their claims for the fiscal year 1892-1893. The interest will amount to about $100,000, and could be met with acontingent provision—that to be paid out of the surplus at the end of the year if the assessment roll be more than the esti- mated $450,000,000, as it probably will, “Since the Supreme Court has upheld me in my contention that the special " |tax for the hospital and new school was illegal, it rests with your honor- able board to make provision for re- funding the same to all the taxpayers at an early date. This will entail con- siderable expense to the city and an | additional amount of work in this office. | A suitable appropriation should be made for this purpose. REFUNDING EXCESS TAXES. “Without question the tax rate will be much lower this year than last. The Assessor is now collecting the un- secured personal property tax on the basis of last year's rate. The differ- ence between the rates of that and this year will amount to considerable, which the property owners will be entitled to have refunded to them. This, together with a contemplated raise by the State Board of Equalization (unless the as- sessment roll reaches an amount satis- factory to them), will in itself require additional labor and extra expense. It is hoped that these matters will be carefully considered and provided for by your honorable board in the budget finally adopted. . “It is most gratifying to note that the park improvement bonds haye ma- tured and are being paid, together with will materially decrease the tax levy for the following fiscal year. “The work of the Public Works | branch of the city government must be 1 estimated by the good it omplishes with the money at its disposal. Real- izing the urgent need of an immense amount of work on our streets and public bufldings, I have recommended for them a round sum of $925572— $100,000 to be used for the constructlon of streets and sewers and $150,000 for other specific public improvements. ‘The sum of $420,000 for general main- tenance will provide for general repairs over a I area of the city, improve- ment of the city property, street sweep- ing and street cleaning, repairs to | county roads, opening of new streets, ‘and an additional amount to be used in the caring for and maintaining of what has already been done and wur- gently required are provided for. I hope that you will see your way clear and much needed items. “The negligence of the Department of Electricity and the Board of Public | ‘Works in not sending their estimates ‘1o me as required by the charter has accrued interest, by the Treasurer.

She arrived on the steamship Korea on June 9, 1903, with. her brother, K. Toda. He falled to make the usual declaration and entry. as, required by law, and a large quantity of Japanese goods was found concealed in his trunks. The goods were seized and confiscated and Toda was convicted of smuggling and was sent to jail. Miss Toda being - left - alone without her brother to protect her, took refuge in Miss Lake’s Oriental Christian Mission, ‘where she became sufficlently imbued with the spirit of Christianity to feel that she had a conscience. Not long ago a locked nk was sent to her, and on opening it she found many ef- fects intende@ for herself, all of which were dutiablé and evidently smuggled. She told Miss Lake about the matter, who in turn notified Customs Collector Stratton, and the trunk was selzed. A report of the affair was transmit- ted to the Treabury Department, with the request that the goods be returned to Miss Toda upon her paying the duty of $20 40. A reply was receivetd yester- day from R. B. Armstrong, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, granting the request. The smuggled goods were re- turned to Miss Toda, and ‘she, who had been a benighted heathen, experienced the truth of the Christian adage, “Hon- esty is the best policy.” G R T el T SRR VT, o permits, $17,000; library fines, $3000; school apportionment, $830,000; school rents, $58,000; total, $1,660,000; less po- lice‘relief and pension transfers, $30,- 1000; or $1,630,000.
