Here Major Van Vliet and his bat- | talion was detached and sent as a fly- ng column toward Atascadero station | to make an attack on the blues’ strong- | | hold at Pine Mountain. The remaining | two battalions at this point made a dash for Atascadero Creek and from | there made two assaults upon the in- | | trenched blues. | At 11:20 a. m. a consultation of the| | umpires took place, Major S.

MUST EXPLAIN ITS REDUCTION pel Supervisors to Cut School Budget by Items e President Roncovieri of the Board of | Education declared yesterday that one | ection of the proposed charter amend- ment now being prepared to make the School Department independent of the | Board of Supervisors in the fixing of its budget expenditures will /provide | that the last named body shall have | power to make cuts in the appropria- | tions by specific items only and must give good reasons for so doing. This is designed to correct the existing cus- tom of the Supervisors to reduce the appropriations requested by the Board of Education by a lump sum. What prompted Roncovieri to insert this proviso in the amendment was the fact that last May the Board of Edu- cation made a request for money to in- | stall fire escapes in the schoolhouses | in compliance with the law, which | such installation mandatory. | | The Supervisors did not cut out this item, but, by reduci the total amount asked for, so crippled the de- partment that no fire escapes can be purcha as the law requires. Another bproviso of the proposed amendments is the limitation of the annual amount to be expended for schools. It was at first proposed to the tax rate for the purpose, but the same end will be accomplished by some other, method not yet made public. Roncovieri says the amend- ments have been submitted to compe- tent attorneys, all of whom are agreed on their legality. They will be finally submitted to Garret McEnerney for his oninion. Roncovferi is very much purturbed over a remark attributed to Super- visor Braunhart that the Board of Su- pervisors will not allow the money ac+ quired under the bonds for new school administration. About $1,000,000 will Roncovieri claims that the Supervisors have no right to delay its use merely for political effect. Roncovieri yesterday received the plans of new schoolhouses erected in New York prepared by Architect C. B. Snyder. The most important fs the Morris High School building, which cost $600,000 and is a model school building in every respect. —_———e——————— COURT DEFERS DECISION ON TREMAYNE'S PLEA Father Suing for Child Will Have to Await Ruling of the’ Santa Cruz Bench. The Supreme Court met yesterday to pass on the writ of habeas corpus, in the case of Leonard H. H. Tre- mayne. Tremayne was sued by his wife for divorce on the grounds of terlocutory decree in the Superior Court of Santa Cruz County. Before obtaining the final decree Mrs. Tre- mayne died. She left a will bequeath- ing their infant son, Leonard E. H. Tremayne, to the care of her father, Alexander H. Underwood. Tremayne applied to the Superior Court for the custody of the child and the hearins was set for August 26. On becoming aware of this the Supreme Court continued the habeas corpus writ till September 12, at which time, if the lower court awards the child to any but the father, Tremayne may ap- peal to the Supreme Court. Upon motion of T. W. Hubbard, the presenting of a certificate from the Supreme Court of New York and the evidence of good moral character, it was ordered that Samuel Barnes Smith be admitted to practice as attorney and counselor at law in ali courts of this State. —_—— DOES NOT"KNOW WHO CUT HIM.—R.

CITY EMPLOYES FILE PETITIONS Want Charter Amended to Give Them a Half-Holiday Every Saturday in Year A special meeting of the Board of Supervisors was called yesterday for Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock to consider two monster petitions signed by more than 12,000 electors in each case for the submission of amendments affecting municipal The number of signatures to on is largely in excess of the em- 15 per cent of the voters required by | the charter. One of the proposed amendments pro- vides for a half holiday on every Sat- urday for all employes of the city gov- ernment and for fourteen days’ vaca- tion in each calendar year with pay. The amendments further provide that in case the duties of a municipal em- ploye are such that he has to work all day Saturday then he is to be given a half holiday on some other day in the week. The other amendment provides for an increase in the salary of engineers of the Fire Department to $1680 yearly. Th Board of Supervisors has already decided to submit an amendment in- easing the salaries of certain mem- bers of the Fire Department, including that of engineers, to $1470 yearly. The engineers went ahead on their own account and under the charter their amendment will aiso be submitted to the voters. Supervisor Eggers presided at the board’s meeting, which adjourned untit to-morrow, without transacting any business. Only five Supervisors—Booth, Connor, Eggers, Finn and Hocks— were present. P e, A MARCH ON THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY The Sheriff’s deputies who attempted yesterday morning to serve an attach- ment on the jewels, coin and stock cer- tificates of Miss Lena S. Walton, known as the Hetty Green of Nome, were outwitted, and Miss Walton is now on her way East. She says she was warned by mental telepathy that the attaches of the Sheriff's office, at the instance of Max Gutter, a mining man, intended to make service of a writ of attachment for $6000. Acting on the mental warning she arose early, shipped her belongings beyond the reach of San Francisco's Sheriff and awaited developments. Miss Walton was not disappointed. ‘While she was at breakfast in the Lick House a deputy sheriff arrived with the expected writ of attachment, but found to his chagrin that there was nothing left to attach. Her preliminary hearing on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses is set for November 15. Gutter charges that she sold him interests in claims which she did not own. She says she will be back to answer the charge and also promises to make it warm for her accuser. STEALS —_———— The St. Louis Exposition.
