Fifteen members of the | needed to handle the executive’s offi- cial objection to their proposed meas. ures—but Alpers, Boxton, Bent, Rea and Finn stood with the Mayor and cut the re-vetoers down to ten except in the case of three items. These ijtems were therefore the only vetoes over- Tuled. There were appropriations of $5000 for maintenance of minors in non- sectarian institutions; $1475 for the pay- ment of premiums on official bonds of public officers, and $15,000 for the de- fense of the Spring Valley Water Com- pany’'s suit. | .In some cases the board scored the Mayor, especially when, in referring to certain vetoes, it declared that it “did not recognize the propriety of the al- leged vetoes and considered them in- valid and void.” $ RAPS THE MAYOR'S KNUCKLES. | The Mayor in his veto messagé had said: “I have no fault to find with the principles of civil service reform, for if the practice accorded with the theory a beautiful governmental fabric could be created.” To this the board, adopting the words of its Finance Committee, an- swered: “If we- correctly apprehend the Mayor from this and succeeding sections of his message his allegiance to the abstract principle of civil service reform is unbounded; he is opposed to it only in practice. However, it is ob- vious that his ambiguous declarations of loyalty to the system are not to be taken seriously.” Then the board, still following the Finance Committee, declared that “‘the charges of his Honor scattered through the message would be painful but for the fact that these charges were as ridiculous as they were hollow. So we must decline a frivolous quarrel of words that would edify nobody and would only belittle the legislative branch of the city government.” | The board was called to order by Su- pervisor Brandenstein, the Mayor being absent, and Alpers, Boxton, Bent, Braunhart, Comte, Connor, D'Ancona, Eggers, Finn, Hocks, McClellan, Hea and Sandersom present. | ACTION ON THE VETOES. The majority against the Mayor was not strong enough to overrule his ve- for public convenience station, $7500 for a third elevator at the City Hall, $1200 for a stenographer for the Board of !

The appropriation for the public con- | venience would have been passed over | the veto but for the fact that the pro- posed station was to be near a public| school. Regarding the appropriation | for public utilities his Honor accom- | panied his veto of this item with the' statement . that he understood the| chairman of the Public Utilities Com- | mittee was in the habit of employing ! help without the assistance of the| ‘Mayor, Supervisors or Civil Ser\'lcej Commission. i On the items of $5000 appropriated for maintenance of minors, $1475 for pay- ment on bonds of public officers and | $15,000 for Spring Valley Water litiga- | tion the board pulled itself together and o, | Land of the M S o Reginald Norris, note teller f0r the | and a thousand faemas a oo Olaclers bank, identified a draft for $17,000 pre- | passage.

President Roosevelt of Vice Pregident Paul Morton of the Santa Fe road to the position of Sec- retary of the Navy was immediately followed by speculation as to who will succeed the latter as the general di- rector of traffic of the big railroad cancern, Among the local railrcad men the opinion is unanimous that Morton will be succeeded in that company as sec- ond vice president by W. D. Biddle, the freight traffic manager of the com- pany. It is generally believed that W. A. Bissell, assistant traffic manager, with headquarters in this city, will suc- ceed Biddle and that Edward Cham- bers of Los Angeles, the present gen- | eral freight agent of the Western lines of the company, will become assistant freight traffic manager. Mr. Bissell, who has been {Il at his home for the last three weeks, was up and about yesterday and spent an hour at his office on Market street. General Manager A. G. Wells of the Santa Fe company arrived from Los Angeles yesterday and is registered at the Palace Hotel. He is here on a tour of inspection.

Questions were then asked as to the conversation in the office of Attorney { Campbell, when the alleged tender of 18100 for the book was made. The an- | swer generally was, “I don't remem- ber.” When his memory was re- freshed by a letter shown him the wit- ness remembered that he had written to Eppinger & Co. saying he could not obtain employment in other ware- | houses owing to his connection with that firm. “Did you say that you could’nt get any money, but you thought the credi- tors should get it for you?” “I don't remember.” “Did you not say you had a book the creditors wanted?"” “I think Veale said so.” QUESTION OF MONEY. When asked if there was anything said about money, the witness de- clared he was to get $100 for the book and that Sheriff Veale promised him a job at $100 a month. He did not know | what the nature of the work was to be. He could not remember that Veale urged him to give up the book and have it placed in a safe deposit vault, urging that otherwise he ‘“would lose it before the trial,” but he did remem- ber that he had lost it. When asked why he didn’t give up the book, he said that he didn’t see any reason why he should. Late .in the afternoon Josua Ep- pinger was agajn called for, but there was no response.

Rev. Dr. Nelander, the orator of the day in English, was introduced by Richard Dybergh amid cheers and shouts of enthusiasm. Dr. Nelander delivered an interesting speech on the progress of the Swedish people in this country and his words were well re- ceived by the large gathering. Pro- fessor P. Olsson-Seffer of Stanford University spoke in Swedish. The pretty Maypole dance by a number of little girls in Swedish cos- tume was a pretty feature of the day. This dance was followed by several Swedish national dances by pretty young women and stalwart youths. —_————————— Grand Jury Indicts Two. !
