The ordinance to be introduced by Hocke provides that the applicant that is refused a permit to sell liquor by the Police Commission shall have the right to apply for a permit to the Board of Supervisors on a proper showing that the refusal was not based on good grounds. 1t is claimed that permits have been refused all. The purport of the ordinance is to have the Police Commission shorn of its autocratic power in that regard. “I am introducing this ordinance at the request of the California Liquor Dealers’ Association,” ““The attornevs who have /prepared it | hold that it is a valid measure under the charter provision vesting the legis- lative power of the-city in the Board of Supervisors.

COLLINS | Saturday’s Ribbon Considers Charges Reflecting on Prominent Attorney and Recommends That Supreme Court Deny Him The San Francisco Bar Association has recommended that George D. Collins be disbarred from practice as an attorney in California. A commit- tee of three will be appointed by W. S. Gogdfellow, president of the Bar Association, to present the case to the Supreme Court. It took the sixty members of the or- ganization three hours and a half to reach a conclusion regarding the re- port submitted by the grievance com- mittee. The committee recommended that disbarment proceedings be insti- tuted against Collins, and the matter was argued pro and con. Collins was present and stated his own defense. hood and reputation were both in jeo- pardy he was present as a matter of | self-profection, Evidence was submitted in behalf ‘of | the Hlbernii Bank to show that he had drawn c8tain money of which he had no legaright; testimonw was quoted as to his reflections upon Judge Kerrigan, and evidence the attempt to collect a certain prom- issory note given by C. A. Robinson. In each instance Collins was pre- pared to contest the charges and the testimony taken in executive session will be submitted to the Supreme Court, along with the findings of the Bar Association. CHARGES PRESENTED. The following is the report of the | grievance cominittee, which was adopted with but threg¢” dissenting votes: To the President and Members of the Bar As- sociation of San Francisco—The committee on grievances respectfully reports as follows: That charges were preferred before your com- mittee by the firm of Tobin & Tobin against Mr. George D. Collins, an attorney practicing in ‘this city, committee. That as the result of such investi- &ation your committee finds as follows: First—On the 27th day of March, 1904, through the medium of interviews With a re- porter of the Chronicle and with a reporter of the Examiner, Mr. Collins made public charges of incompetency ‘and malfeasance in office against Hon. Frank H. Kerrigan, Judge of the Superior Court of this city and county. The accounts of these interviews published in the Chronicle and Examiner of March 28, 1904, are accurate, and coples.of the same are attached hereto. The charges so made by Mr. Collins against Judge Kerrigan were false and untrue and were made by him without any ground therefor. The charges were made by Mr. Collins ma- liciously and for the purpose of injuring Judge Kerrigan personally and not for any purpose of serving the administration of justice or public good. At the time the~charges. were made Mr. Col- lins was the attorney. for the defendant in an action then pending before Kerrigan, wherein the latter had the day. before refused to make findings as desired bv Mr. Collins and stated that he would sign certain other find- These latter reflected to some extent on be, he had not yet actually signed the fndini and the matter of what findings he would si; was pending at the time Mr. Collins nmade his charges. This Mr. Collins knew. cc0ond—On the 234 day of May, 1901, Mr. Collins presented to the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society a passbook in the name of es ass) the same to himself, and requested the payment of the amount due, some $1255 16. The officers of the bank required dition of the payment of the money, ment from Mr. Colling as to the genuineness of the assignment and the circumstances un- der which, it was - Thereupon Mr. Col- lins stated to the of the bank, among other things, that . Newman, the de- dead: that she was his wife, and hat the moneys on deposit were community roperty and he was therefore entitled to them in any case. The officers of the bank re- quested Mr. Collins to put his statement in the form of an affidavit.”and in accordance wita this request he presented to the officers of the bank an affidavit by himself wherein it was recited that Agnes M. Newman, the de- positor, was his wife, and that Agnes . Newman was her maiden name. In reliance upon these statements and this affidavit the bank paid Mr. Collins the amount. due on the Dassbook. STATEMENTS ARE FALSE. SAY These statements and the recital in the affidavit that Agnes M. Newman was Mr. Col- lins' wife were false. Agfies M. Newman was not at the time of her death, and never had been, the wife of Mr. Collins. On_ the contrary, Mr, Collins had on May 15, 1889, married riotta B. Newman, the sister of Agnes M. wman, and said Charlotta E. Newman at the time the foregoing state- ments and affidavits were made by Mr. Collins living and undivorced. Third—Mr, Collins was on October 8, 1901, the attorney for Charles H. Robinson as the plaintiff in an action brought by him against the administrator of the estate of his mother, Caroline A. Robinson. The action was upon a claim that had been previously presented to the administrator and by him rejected. The claim was based upon a_document signed by Caroline A. Robinson and reading as fol- Jows: ‘‘Mafch 17, 1890. For value received 1 promise to pay to my son, €. H. Robinson, fitteen hundred dollars over and above his share of my personal estate, (Signed) C. A. Robinson.” 1t is apparent at once from reading the note that there 1s at least a serious question as to whether the document was not merely of a testamentary character and wholly Invalid as a claim against Mrs. Robinson’s estate On the day mentioned, October 8, 1901, one Charles W. Purrington was appointed the ad- ministrator of the estate of Caroline A. Rob- inson in lieu of the former administrator, who had been removed. Mr. Collins appeared ay the attorney for Mr. Purrington in the mat- ter of his appointment as administrator, and continued thereafter to represent him in (he matter of sald estate. Mr. Purrington em- ploved no_other attorney regarding the mat- ter/ of the estate than Mr. Collins. Mr. Pur- rington furthermore was appointed at the in- stance of Charles H. Robinson, the plaintift in the action mentioned, and for the admitted purpose of furthering this action. To this purpose Mr. Collins was a party. IN THE PURRINGTON CASE. Under these circumstances Mr. Collins, on January 20, 1902, in the action brought by’ Mr. Robinson, suggested to the court the appoint- ment of Mr. Purrington as administrator in lieu of the former administrator, who had been re- moved, and secured the substitution of Mr. Purrington as defendant. Mr. Collins, as at- torner for the plaintiff, then filed a supple- mental complaint against Mr. Purrington as defendant in his capacity of administrator and had summons issued and served upon hfm. Mr. Purrington upon receiving the summons and complaint handed them over to Mr. Robinson, the plaintiff in the action, and did nothing whatever about the matter. Upon the expira- tion of the time to answer, Mr. Purrington not appearing, Mr. Collins, on March 11, 1903, had obtained ~ judgment thereon against him. During all of these proceedings the only proverty owned or claimed by the estate of Caroline A. Robinson were three certain pieces of real property In this city. Before her death Caroline A. Robinson had given the Hibernia Savings and Loan Soclety a mortgage on these proverties. and after her death the bank had released this mortgage and had taken in lfeu thereof a new mortgage for her heirs merely, inclading the nlaintiff, Charles H. Robinson, himself. The bank, therefore, to the extent of this mortgage was the successor In interest of the heirs of Caroline A. Robinson and oc- cunied the same position as they toward the administrator of the estate. This position the bank occunied during ali the ~time which Mr. Collins was _taking the proceedings heretofore related. During this time the bani foreclosed the mortgage and itself bought in the property, which failed to bring more than the amount of the mortgage. COLLINS KNEW. Mr. Collins, during all of this time, knew of the existence of the bank's mortgage and of jts consequent interest adverse to the claim of Charles H. Robinson. Mr. Collins, however, dia not notify the bank of any of the p ings that werc being taken by“him to estab- lish such claim. nor did he advise Mr. Pur- rineton. the administrator,. either before or after, the service of summons upen him: s a n: After obtaining = the Mr, Collins, as the attorney for Mr. Purrington, the administrator, filed a vetition for leave to sell the interest'of the estate in one of ed an order granting such leave. The bank then, for the first time, was informed of what had taken place an He is not a member of the Bar Association, but as his liveli- given as to| and were investigated by your | to tect the estate son. judgment by default the Right to Practice immediately began proceedings to set aside the order.of sale and to annul the judgment. These proceedings they have prosecuted to a judgment | in_their favor. By reason of the foregoing matters the com- mittee on grievances recommends to_the asso- clation that it institute proceedings before the | Supreme Court for the disbarment of Mr. Collins for his conduct in the particulars speci- fled, and that the president of the association be authorized and directed to appoint a com- | mittee of three to conduct such proceedings in | the name of the association.

He gave out the following statement last night: | Ten members of the grievance committee of the Bar Association passed on the case | Without hearing my side.

COMMISSIONER SUBMITS PLANS Suggests That a Reservoir| Be Installed on the Twin| Peaks for Fire Protection Fire Commissioner John S. Parry and acting Chief Dougherty yesterday submitted to the Finance Committee | elaborate plans for the distribution of water throughout the city. The sugges- tion was made after considerable de- liberation on the part of the Board of Commissioners and was finally adopted unanimously. The plan suggested by Parry is to erect a reservoir on the summit of one of the Twin Peaks, at an elevation of 750 feet. For this Parry asks that an appropriation of $193,000 be made. The work would include a pipe line system from the ocean beach along H street to Stanyan and down Stanyan to the res- ervoir. The object of the system is primarily for fire protection, but, as explained by Parry, it might be used for flushing and for the sprinkling of streets. The suggestion was approved | by Brandanstein, but opposed by d'An- {cona. D'Ancona maintained that the | former plan | which advocated a reservoir and fresh | water; system was the better and less | of Engineer Grunsky, expensive of the two. Brandenstein, however, said that with all of the salt water that surrounds this city there is no reason why some of it might not be used profitably. | G. E. Booker, chief clerk of the| Spring Valley Water Company, and M. | B. Kellogg, its attorney, appeared be- | fore -the Finance Committee for the| purpose of discussing the advisability | of a change of the water pipe running along Pine street, between Stockton | street and Van Ness avenue. Acting Chief Dougherty of the Fire| committee in which he stated that the water main now in Pine street is but a six-inch pipe, and as that particular| street is lined with high wooden board- ing-houses and residences the danger| of a conflagration is imminent, and that should a fire break out the depart- ment would have small chance of stop- ping its headway before it reached the water front. Dougherty asked that the main be taken up and replaced by a sixteen-inch main. The matter was re- ferred to a committee that will visit| the officers of the Spring Valley Com-! pany to-day or Monday. | The afternoon session was taken up | by the heads of committees of depart- ments, who discussed the applications for money. Braunhart urgently asked that an appropriation be put aside or a vote cast for the roofing of the City Hall. He said: “This building is one of the finest structures in the whole world, but the condition of its roof is a dis- grace. There is enough structural ifon in the upper part to make an extra floor on the hall. We should have this done right away.” After hearing a few remarks from the different Supervisors the meeting ad- journed until Mgnday morning, when a public hearing will be called. ——————————— WOODWARD ASSUMES OFFICE Indications Still Point to Appointment of Maestretti as Commissioner of Public Works.
