The amendment would eliminate the phrase which prohibits such ofl s from being eligible to other offices within one year after the expiration of their terms. Fifteen deputy registrars employed | in the e of the Election Commis- sioners yesterd: the Board of Supervisors that a char- ter amendment be submitted to the electors providing for an increase in their salaries from $100 to $1256 per month. Police Commissioners Hutton and Howell petitioned the Supervisors to submit a charter amendment provid- ing for the appointment of Police Judges by the Superior Judges, the first appointment to be made in De- cember, 1905, and two others in Jan- uary, 1906, thus limiting the number of Police Judges to three. Police Commissioners Reagan and Hutton filed a protest against amendment to fix the age limit of po- licemen at from 25 years to 35 yvears. They ask that the age limit be fixed between 21 and 30 years. They claim that the ages of most policemen who ceme up on trial for showing bad judgment and the commission of of- fenses is above the 30-year limit. Acting on a request of the Supervis- ors’ Charter Amendment Committee made on Friday last, City Engineer Woodward and Assistant City Engineer Morser terday began the drafting of a charter amendment relative to the procedure in making grade changes. The officials named say that the exist- ing charter provisions on this subject e not compri ive enough to cover many c s that occur almost daily, ularly with reference to the mat- ter of as grade changes are made. for revision of its so that no technical- Attol interfere amendment if adopted. t, larg- studios in S.

The exclusive publication in The Call | that Aaron Altmann, one of the present | members of the Park Commission, would be appointed by Mayor Schmitz to the vacancy in the Board of Educa- tion created by Director C.

Altmann was born in this city, and after leaving the pub- lic schools devoted himself to the study {of art. After several years of study at | the California School of Design he took a course in the National School of Fine Arts in Paris under Gerome. In 1898 he returned to this city and was appointed i professor of persvective and sketching {at the Mark Hookins Institute. He is | | also a member of the advisory beard of | the- California Landmarks League. While Park Comm he has made many suggestions that have resulted in | improvements at Golden Gate Park. | Altmann is highly regarded by the| | Mayor, as is evidenced by his selection {two vears ago for the park commis-, m sionership. The present members of the Board of Education are greatly pleased that Altmann will sit with them in their deliberations.

The msitake is that no provi- slon is made here for the natural in- | crease in attendance, as is done in New York, where the School Directors must provide annually 25,000 addi- tional desks for that purpose.” Milkmen Have a Fight. G. R. Rowden and L. L. McGau- ghey are employed by the Oakland D at 320 Fulton street. Yester- day morning they quarreled over some milk bottles and McGaughey alleges that Rowden struck him on the head | with one of the bottles, inflicting three scalp wounds. McGaughey had his wounds dressed at the Central | Emergency Hospital and then went to the Hall of Justice, where he swore out a warrant for Rowden's arrest on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. e Seeks American Heirs.
