The facts are set forth in the report of John W. McAlpin, accom- panying his final account as adminis- trator of Alan A. McAlpin's estate, filed yesterday in the Superior Court. The administrator states that he had reason to believe that Alan A. Mc- Alpin had’ possessed considerable property, and the tin box which Alan had at the time of his death was sup- posed to contain valuable papers and a will. The State of Chihuahua de- clined to surrender the box or to fur- nish any information regarding its contents, so the administrator sent H. L. Paddock, an attorney, to Mexico to investigate. Padodck had a personal acquaintance with Ygnacio Sepulveda, legal adviser of President Porfirio Diaz, and Sepulveda is said to have déplored the bad state of affairs re- garding the custody of the tin box and assured Paddock that he would have no more tropble in getting it. Being thus asSured Paddock ap- pointed a citizen of Mexico, W. H. Searles, to look after the case, but when Searles forwarded the contents of the tin box it was found that there Ach an effort was made to show bias on the part of the witness and in this he succeeded to some extent when | Williams admitted that his expenses had been paid by Detective Gibson | while they were searching for James Deming, superintendent of the ware- house at Crockett. He stated positive- ly, however, that aside from this he had never received a cent from the Police Department nor, had he been promised any money. Williams’ testimony ' regarding the manner of doing business in the ware- swore that affairs were conducted in a loose manner. The numbers on re- ceipts were frequently disregarded and orders and reports were taken by tele- hone. He recalled the time when pile 709 had been shipped instead of 710 and said that Chief Inspector Bunker had been telephoned to regarding the sub- stitition and was satisfied, as the quantity and quality of grain in the ! piles were identical. Concerning the lots of wheat on which the money was | borrowed and on which the indictment | is based the witness gave detailed tes- | | timony. was no will nor any evidences of a “At any time between December 5 |fortune.

The appropria- j tions vetoed or reduced by the Mayor | aggregated the small sum of $53,675, Wwhich is much less than was expécted. The Mayor explains that there are a number of items he deems unjust which he would have vetoed, but it would be futile, as the appropriations so elim- inated could not be used for other pur- poses. The appropriation of $628,336 for in- terest and sinking fund of the bond is- | sue for improvemrents was not dis- turbed.

President New- | ;hall of the Society for the Preventlon; jof Cruelty to Children tendered a| | bronze medal to the hero.

In addition the commis- sion granted him two months’ leave of | absence with full pay. Dynamite will soon be among the fire-fighting weapons of the San Fran- | cisco Fire Department. The Fire Com- | missioners made application yesterday to the military authorities for permis- sion to store quantities of the explo-/ sive. In event of a great conflagration | it is indispensable that the department { should have it on hand. The value of dynamite in blocking fires has already been proved in the East. | e e GEFFENEY CAPTURES JAPANESE CULPRITS i S \ Women Who Had Been Smuggled Over the Northern Border Ar- rested With Their Masters. A. H. Geffeney, acting inspector in charge of the United States Immigrant Bureau in Seattle, has been in this city for four days and has. succeeded in | locating and arresting two Japaneese men and five Japanese women for whom he had a warrant. Proceedings | of deportation will be instituted against the women. The men will be | prosecuted for importing the women | for immoral purposes. The men’s names are Sugiyama and Yokota. They are proprietors of notorious dens | on Brooklyn and Spofford aléys. The men weat from this city to Vie- toria, B. C., on April 24 to meet the | women, who had arrived as stow- aways. Inspector Geffeney informed the Canadian authorities at Montreal and the attempt to bring the women into the United States through British Columbia was for a time frustrated. But the men then took the women to New Westminster, B. C., and brought them over to the American side at 2 o'clock one morning in a fishing boat. From that point they came to this city by rail. Inspector Geffeney, who is also an interpreter of Japaneese, came | to this city with warrants last Tues- day. Sugivama was convicted of a similar offense several years ago in the United ] States District Court in this city. He served a sentence of one year's im- prisonment in-the penitentiary at San Quentin. Yokota's brother was dé- ported at about the same time for a similar offense. —— Rigger Is Fatally Injured. Thomas Keegan, who lives at 506 Twentieth street and is a ship rigger by profession, yesterday fell from a scaffolding on the recently launched United States cruiser California, | twenty feet into the hold, sustaining injuries to his back and sides and a deep wound on the head which may involve a fracture of the skull.

Under the rules the veto message will be officially printed once and will then | be referred to the Finance Committee ! for a report. When the message comes | before the board it will require fifteen Supervisors to override the specific vetoes. Booth and Payot are away, | and it is likely that the vetoes will be | sustainéd by the votes of Finn, Rea, Lunstedt and Boxton. The following items were reduced by | the amount set opposite to them in the | vetoes of the Mayor: | Public convenience station, Fifth street, | $7500; electric elevator, City Hall, $7500; new stenographer, Board of Supervisors, $1200; Finance Committee, expert services, ; ad: vertising, $1000; law books for public offices | . expenses in acquiring public utilitles, $3000) maintenance of minors in non-secta- rian institutions, $5000; premiums on officia bonds, $1475; expenses of suit of Spring Val- ley Water Company, $15,000; driving fenders and dolphins at Third-street bridge, $3000. Total reduction, $53,675. The Mayor's veto ran in part as fol- lows: ¢ I wish to call the attention of the members of the board and also of the people of San Francisco to the manifest petty political re- tallations and unconcealed hypocrisy which are apparent in the construction and presenta- tion of this budget. In every department of | the city administration which is directed by officials who owe their appointment to the Mayor of San Francisco the figures of the ap- propriation have been calculated with such subtlety and with such restriction, as seri- cusly to impair their efficlent operation and almost to cripple their admimistration, while in departments controlled by the political col- | leagues of the gentlemen who drafted the budget liberality and indeed extravagance are | easily to be found. b EMPLOYES ARE UNFIT. The members who are responsible for the drafting of this budget have zealously labored | to fasten upon every department involving re- sponsibility to the Mayor of the city the bur- | den of doing work with employes not of their own selection, taken arbitrarily from lists of men, many of whom are absolutely unfit prop- erly to do the work expected of them, while In the departments friendly with and of the same political party as the members referred to, and indeed, in the matters under their own immediate control, they have been very careful not to provide these restrictions. I have no fault to find with the principles of civil service reform. If the practice ac- corded with the theory a beautiful govern- mental fabrio could be created; but when men | taken from the civil eervice ‘lists rejoice in | their disloyalty to the administration of which they are a part, when they write letters to public officials recommending applicants for | employment upon the sole ground that they are political enemles of the Mayor of the city, 1 think it high time to express a disapproval of conditions which would in no private bus- | iness enterprise be tolerated even for a mo- ment and which do not make for the best n- terests of the city. CLEANING OF CHINATOWN. 1 hereby disapprove and veto the following words in the item relating to sanitary measures n the district known as Chinatown, to Wwit: “A special committee of the Board of Super- visors with the advice of,” leaving the ex- penditure of the appropriation of $10,000 to the | State and City Boards of Health and the United ‘Hospital at this . on the ground that such expenditure should for best results properly be made by the various health authorities. In this connection also, I wish to call the attention of the board fo the fact that mo civil service restrictions were attempted to be placed on the employment of the men who ‘were to receive the moneys to led by the special committee of the Board of Super- | visors for such work, although for similar work by other departments civil service noti- fications, limitations and restrictions were liberally' appited. | "Iam also. informed that the chairman of the Public Utllities Committee has employed clerical help without application to, or rec ommendation by, the Mayor or without ¢ affirmative vote of fourteen members of the Board of Supervisors, as required by the char- ter, and that he has failed to select ke same from any civil service lists. although In open board & very fervent advocate of the applica- | tion of civil service provisions to other munic- Ipal departments, and I am further lnfcynneal that one of his appointees is not a resident of the city and county of San Franelsco.

Hale: junction the rates for 1903-1904 there are, in my opinion, no rates which it can enforce or collect, and I believe that during the past year the Spring Valley Water Works has been collecting its ‘water bills illegally from the rate payers and water consumers of San Fran- cisco and any one of them, in my opinion, has thie right to refuse payment of any rates based on the ordmance of 1902-1903, When the S pervisors this year passed an ordinance f: ing water rates for 1904-1905 the Spring Val- ley Water Works began another action similar in kind to the action of the former year and will undoubtedly proceed to collect its water bills as during the past year upon the basis of the rates of two years ago. —_————— PERSONAL. an excellent Dr. L.
