At the session of the Grand Lodge Alleged Diamond Thieves Posed as | of the Order of Sons of St. George in ; Red Men's building yesterday the en- ‘ tire morning was taken up in the dis- cussion of the constitutions and by= number of suggestions were of- | fered and it was decided to have these incorporated, so that they may be acted upon at the session to-day. During the afternoon session the matter of the Sons of St. George amalgamating with the Sons of Eng- land, a Canadian organization, was further debated, and it was decided that the Sons of St. George are ready | to amalgamate if the other order will drop its present name and become regular Sons of St. George.

The board is backed up by an opinion from the City | Attorney and by several court decislons based on the charter provision on the subject, which follows: “The Health Board may appoint such officers, agents and employes as may be necessary for the proper and efficient carrying out and enforcement of the duties and purposes of the board, and {may fix their salaries and prescribe their duties.” The provision also requires that all appointments in the Health Depart- | ment shall be made according to arti- cle 13 of the charter and civil service. The Health Board's reply denies the | right of the Supervisors to fix the sala- ries of its employes in the face of the | specific charter provision quoted. The | board also denies that it is exceeding | its budget allowance in the payment of | salaries. Regarding the Increases in the sala- ries of Bacteriologist Canney, Chemist Bothe and Assistant Chemist Costa, to which the Finance Committee objects, the Health Board replies that the Su-| | pervisors refused to provide sufficient | funds for the food inspection depart- ment, which was abolished on that ac- count. The added duties in the bacte- riological tests of milk resulted in the | raising of Canney’s salary Bothe was retained as head of the laboratory de- partment, into which the food depart- | ment, together with its fund, was merged, which the Health Board claims | | it had a perfect right to do. l As the Supervisors made no appro- | priation for salaries of District Health Officers Adler, Tillman and Dillon the positions were abolished. Adler and Tillman were reappointed as laboratory medical asistants under the charter provision which exempts the appoint- ment of physicians from civil service. As to the retention of Drs. Walsh and Hannah as Inspecting physicians, the Health Board claims this was done in order not to prejudice the case now before Judge Sloss affecting the restora- tion of former Sanitary Inspectors | Hartley and Green, who were displaced the ! which will be filed to-| will be launched from her cradle at ‘hfl Union Iron Works at 6:40 o'clock thi: evening.

Many invitations to witness the launching have been issued and ar- rangements have been made to insure | guests a full, safe and convenient view of the cruiser’s slide from her timbered cradle into the element where, one day, she may bring nautical and bel- ligerent fame to the peaceful, agricul- tural cognomen carved across her stern. —_— e WANTS INSPECTOR OF BOILERS APPOINTED Organization Petitions Supervisors to Prevent Danger From Practice of Second-hand Dealers. The Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Ship-builders filed a petition with the Board of Supervisors yester- day that a practical boilermaker be appointed as inspector. The petition says: We deem 1t necessary to call your attention to the fact that the second-hand dealers in boilers in this city are buying old bollers from all over the State and overbauling and repair- ing them slightly and then selling them to small manufacturers and others, whereby the lives and property of our citizens are en- dangered. These bollers have been condemned and with minor repairs and a little paint are Made to look safe snd durable. They are in- stalled n large restaurants and other butld- ings, thus forming a veritable fire trap for the ‘community at large. With a bofler in- spector the hidden defects In these boilers, Such as internal cracks, blisters, pitting and Worn-out braces, could not pass unnoticed, as | he would know where to find the weak places. ——————————— Notice to Men.

Warren and her mother, Mrs. Mar- | garet H. Warren—are willing to pla- cate the disgruntled heirs of the sul- cide with a portion of her gold, they do not intend to enrich those that have no right to be enriched, nor to give more than is necessary to those whose relationship to the dead gives them at least a moral right to share in her es- | tate. ‘With this knowledge in view the‘ heirs are not resting In anticipation but are preparing to file formal pro- test to the will when the petition for its admission to probate is called for hear- ing. In the offices of Hiram W. John- son, who represents Henry Schander of Sacramento, an uncle of the de- | ceased, the work of preparing the con- | test is proceeding. Albert M. Johnsen, who is assoclated with his brother, | Hiram W. Johnson, said last evenlngv that the contest would be based upon ‘ but one ground—unsoundness of mind. The filing of this contest will be the ! signal for the opening of negotiations | for a compromise. Then the claims of the various heirs will be taken up, one | at a time, and disposed of as condi- | tions demand. ———— GENERAL MACARTHUR RETURNS FROM HIS NORTHERN VISIT San Franctsco, Expresses Himself as Highly Gratified ‘With Maneuvers of Troops at American Lake.
