The City Attorney was requested to advise the board whether the city is jable for the cost of a sewer con- structed in Pierce street, between Mc- Allister and Golden Gate avenue, in view of the erroneous full acceptance of the street by the Supervisors on January 30, 1883, previous to the con- cticn of a sewer in the block ed Property owners have peti- ned the board to make provision for the payment of an assessment levied against their property by the Board of Works on July 1, 1904. To prevent street car accidents such as have occurred recently the Rich- d district citizens petitioned the | d to enact ordinances that will, (1) ict the speed of cars having elec- tric or alr brakes to fifteen miles per hour and cars having hand brakes only to ten miles per hour; (2) that no car shall carry a greater number of pas- sengers than the seating capacity plus one-half the same—that is to say, a car seating forty passengers shall not carry more than sixty at any one time; (3) that double the present number of cers be provided: (4) that each car shall be washed three times a week. The petition was referred to the Street Committee. At Brandenstein’s request the License Committee was directed to inquire into the advisability of reducing or abolish- ing the license tax on junk dealers. The Auditor was allowed to emplay thirty extra clerks for a period of sixty days. A resoiution introduced by Supervisor Lunstedt was referred to Committee on Judiciary and Streets. It provides that all street railroad com- panies operating street railroads in San Francisco be authorized and directed to place stop plates or stop signs at all points where cars regularly stop to take on or let off passengers, provided that no such stop plates or stop signs shall be placed where the stopping place is at or near a crosswalk from an intersecting street.

The Mayor received a letter from a New York concern offering to lobby a bill through the New York Legislature le- galizing the issue, so as to permit of stments therein by the banks of New York. The Finance Committee requested the City Attorney to press the city’'s suit against ex for the recovery of collateral thérlldll(‘? taxes retained by Brooks in the 's vaults. The committee also requested Treasurer McDougald to write a letter stating that he wiil not take advantage ot the statute of limitations in the matter of commissions on inheritance taxes which have been retained by him in a sealed bag in the city’s vaults for near- ly two years. The court decision in the Brooks suit will determine if the City Treasurer is entitled to the com- missions. The City Attorney was also urged to press the suit against the Board of Works for the recovery of ex-Cashier White's defalcation. Chief of Police Wittman explained to the satisfaction of the committee why it cost $800 to repair seven patrol wagons in three months and the de- mands were passed. The Finance Committee refused to pass the demands of E. M. Graney for shoeing horses of the Fire. Depart- ment and ordered them returned to the Fire Commission, together with a previous resolution expressing dissat- the manner in which the contract was awarded. The Election Commissioners commissions on were | requested to file a statement showing what saving would be effected by the employment of a caretaker for the voting machines, as recommended by the Mayor. Commissioner Leffingwell thought the man selected should be a ccmpetent mechanic, not necessarily on the civil service list. Supervisor Payot took occasion to criticize the departments that are fighting civil service and declared that it was all due to the character of the men placed on the various commissions. County Clerk Greif was directed by | the Finance Committee to file a formal request with the Mayor that he be al- lowed a temporary clerk to collect | some $30,000 due the city in probate | cases not yet closed. Some of the claims run back twelve years. Greif reported that he was now up to date with the work in his office besides catching up with eight months’ back work left by his predecessor.

Mr. Lent was one of the first who crossed the plains early in '49. Immediately upon his ar- rival here he became prominent among those who served the interests of Cal- ifornia. His integrity end energy as a business man brought him well de- served success. The activity of his early years taxed his vitality and he was forced by ill health to retire from business. several yvears ago. However, his vigorous mind never failed him and he retained all his faculties to the, hour of his death. He passed away quietly with his chil- dren by his bedside. Three children survive him, George H. Lent of the real estate firlm of Hooker & Lent, Eugene Lent and Miss Fannie Lent. William Lent was born in New York on March 15, 1818.

M. nues and for having invited bids for paving of Fourth street without having first received the legal authorization from the Super- visors, as required by the jurisdictional | provision of the charter. The resolutions as adopted recite that the Board of Supervisors does not rec- | ognize the authority or the Board of} Works in entering into the contract! with the Yorke company nor in adver- tising for bids for the paving of Fourth street and that any demands presented for work done under tne provisions of the contracts will not be recognized or approved by the Board of Supervis- ors. The H street contract is worth $21,- 150, and the Board of Works claims | that as a specific appropriation was made in the budget for the work no additional authorization is required. The same reasoning also applies to the | Fourth street contract, which, however, has not yet been awarded. In all like- lihood Mayor Schmitz will veto both resolutions, as his views on the sub- ject are similar to those of his Board of Works. The ordinance prohibiting the dis- | tribution in doorways of handbills,; pamphlets, pictures or other adver- tisements was passed to print. The| ordinance is designed to stop the dis- | tribution of literature relating to pa- tent medicines and drugs. The amended ordinance providing| that when roofs are damaged to the extent of 40 per cent of their value; they shall be repaired with fireproof | material only in a certain designated district outside of the fire limits, was | re-referred to the Fire Committee to| give lumber dealers who oppose the measure a chance to be heard next| Thursday at 11:30 o’clock a. m. An ordinance was passed to print fully accepting the roadways of Jer- sey street, between Castro and Dia- mond; Washington street, between! Cherry and First avenue; Chenery | street, between Thirtieth and Randall, | and Dorland street, between Guerrero and Dolores, all paved with bituminous | rock. Similar action was taken for| street between Onondaga avenue and the county line. l A resolution was adopted accepting the offer of the Southern Pacific Com- pany to dedicate for public street pur- peses certain tracts of land sixty feet in width along both sides of the com- | pany’s right of way between Twenty- | fourth and Twenty-seventh avenues South. The company agrees not to | close any streets in the Paul Tract, which is adjacent to the lands de-| scribed, but will not be compelled to| maintain any grade crossings between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-seventh avenues South.

Hazel Damon, young, petite and modestly attired, tearfully told Police Judge Mogan that she had no recollec- tion whatsoever of the misconduct al- leged bv Patrolman ‘‘Sam” Orr, who arrested her last Saturday evening for disturbing the peace on O'Farrell street, between Stockton and Powell. She must have been completely crazed by the third and last drink of whisky she took in a concert hall which she had visited with “a lady friend,” for oblivion quickly followed its consump- tion. No, she would not go so far as to say the liquor was drugged. The truth was that she had never drunk able,to presume that the influence of | drink No.'3 produced her delirium.

That was how she happened to visit the concert hall in which her third drink was taken. The Judge continued the case till to- morrow and in lieu of furnishing $25} cash bail the girl remains in custody. oeiite R. A. Brown, head cook at the Russ House, was accused of battery by J. J. Kenney, head waiter of the same hos- telry, and had his case continued till next Tuesday. Claude Nicholson, chief steward of the Russ, was charged with having interfered with the policeman Wwho arrested Brown, but Judge Cabaniss virtually dismissed the case by continuing it till November 10. s TR George E.

He was ar- rested at 1:30 o’clock Sunday morning | while attending a hop at Washington | Square Hall and from his waist belt protruded the butt of a revolver, which investigation proved to be fully loaded. In his native land, Senor Aguirre aver- red, no gentleman is regarded as prop- erly equipped for a fandango unless he carries a pistol or a knife or both and it was quite a revelation to him that he was the only person who displayed a weapon at the Washington Hall dance. He will be sentenced to-day. . . Mrs. Anna Brewer exercised her fem- inine prerogative of mind-changing to an extent that tried the patience of Judge Mogan. After having her hus- band, John, arrested on the charge of her with a knife last Sunday at their home, 468 Eddy street, she whispered to the Judge yes- terday morning her desire that the case be dismissed, as the defendant had | would be deprived of maintenance if he‘ were sent to jail. Her request was taken under consideration and probably would have been complied with if she had not withdrawn it half an hour later and said she was willing thct the law should take its course, as she was not entirely satisfied that John would live up to his promise. Before she had me | to undergo another change of desire the | case was continued till Friday, by which time her mind may be made up “for keeps.” A . Patrolman Mills had C. J. Robinson | under constant surveillance for ninety consecutive days and then arrested him | for being drunk the sixty-ninth time during that period. The defendant | spent the greater part of the ninety days and nights leaning against a cor- ner of Clay and Kearny streets, with- drawing his support from the building only when he found it necessary to | forage for food or liquor—mostly liquor. If he had a lodging place other than the corner aforementioned the policeman could not find it. Pro- nounced guilty by Judge Mogan and sentence deferred_till to-day. P G. Piheit, a Frenchman, denied that he willfully smote Mon Foon in the ab- domen while the latter was passing out of the Chinese Theater last Sat- urday evening. After witnessing the drama, M. Piheit explained, he met a compatriot at the door and to him | was {llustrating theway in which the leading man had beaten the villain to earth and rescued the heroine just as he was about to be confined in a cave | alleged to be alive with dragons. While thus engaged the narrator swung his | right arm backward to show how the | hero had swung his spear and Mon | Foon stepped out of the doorway just in time to receive the full force of the | swing in his gastronomic region. When | he recovered from the immediate force of the blow, which had doubled him up like a jackknife, Mon Foon haughti- Iy waved away M. Piheit's apologies and had him arrested for battery. “Eet war ze sad acci-dent,” M. Pi- | heit said to Judge Mogan. “I show | how ze Chinee actaire brandeesh ze | spear an’ keel ze \maln. an’ ze arm| go back like zis, an’ zen, - pouf! zis | Chineeman heem heet in ze sto- mlck an’ heem ver-ay seeck.

ORI 3 James Kelly, born in Ireland of Af- rican parents, opined that there is a police conspiracy in this city to keep him in jail, for no sooner has he served one term of imprisonment than he is rearrested for vagrancy and sentenced to another. “It am a ’culiar thing, yo Honnah,” said Mr. Kelly to Judge Mogan, “dat jes’ ez soon ez I gits back from de grape pickin’ in Surmoma County I'se | pinched.

O’Connell, whom it has recently ad- mitted to practice, is none other than an ex-convict from Massachusetts. An investigation is under way to make certain of the facts in the case. Should the official suspicion be verified Attor- ney O’Connell will get short shrift. An attempt has been made to veil the affair with secrecy, because the sus- pected lawyer received his credentials from men prominent in official life in this and other large cities. O'Conneil is in New York on legal business. Stephen Costello, on whose motion the suspected lawyer was admitted to practice, discovered last night that he knew little or nothing of the man. At- torney Keegan, who is O’Connell's partner, knew nothing of his asso- ciate’s history. Both lawyers had ac- cepted the man’s credentials from a leading fraternal organization and had made no further investigation. Cos- tello stated last night that he should immediately petition the Supreme Court to disbar O’Conrell unless he could clear himself. The suspected at- torney states in his application for ad- mission to practice that his name is Bernard D. O’Connell, while the name on his office door and the name by which he has made himself known is Daniél O’Connell. The Massachusetts ex-convict bore the name of Bernard Daniel O’Connell. In 1886 he was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court in Boston. He be- gan the practice of law in Lowell, Mass., and mingled quite freely in poli- S R LUMPER FINDS SACK OF COIN ‘William Dorsey, a “lumper,” or as- sistant teamster, living at 1013 Grant avenue, was arrested yesterday after- neén by Detectives Ed Gibson and Bailey and booked at the City Prison on a charge of grand larceny. Charles Waldier, another lumper, living at 2656 Howard street, was also arrested, but after being questioned by Chief Witt- man was discharged. Dorsey and Waldier were employed in assisting the firm of J. J. Gildea & Co., men's clothing. Market street and Grant avenue, to move to their new store at 1028 Market street. A sack containing $612 50 in goid and silver had been secreted behind a dresser. Above the dresser hung a picture and while Dorsey and Waldier were taking down the picture they pulled the dress- er aside and the sack was disclosed to view. Dorsey picked up tne sack, and, watching his opportunity, hurried from the store to Caley & Roeder’s saloon ou the opposite corner, where he asked Caley to keep the sack In his safe till he called for it again. When the sack was missed the po- lice were notifled and Gibson and Bai- ley were detailed on the case. While Chief Wittman and the two detectives were standing in front of the saloon Caley told them that the stolen sack was in his safe and he described the man who had left it. The sack was handed to the officers and in a few minutes Dorsey and Waldier were placed under arrest. The sack was beeked as evidence against Dorsey. +* il pursued the young fellows back to the house they had just left and arrested them as they were trying to find con- cealment in a bedroom. The pistol had disappeared. “Which of you fired the shot?" in- quired Judge Mogan. “I did,” promptly replied Irwin. “It was a foolish thing to do,” said his Henor. Then he fined Irwin $5 and discharged George. s . George S. Cook, arrested for flourish- ing a revolver in a Fourth street sa- loon, told the policeman that he carried the weapon in order to protect his money, as he was in the habit of con- veying vast sums in his pockets. As only fifty cents could be found in his possession, however, he was promptly adjudged guilty and remanded for sen- tence. . John King, a young soldier, will be tried before Judge Mogan next Thurs- day on the charge of having shot with intent_to kill two men, a sailor and a pilano player» in a Pacific street saloon early yesterday morning. There was a drunken fight in the place and King alleges that he shot in self defense. The wounded piano player is said to be | in a precarious condition. ADVERTISEMENTS. Adams. \@% TROM WE .

In 1897 he was convicted of “in. citing, aiding and abettipg an attempt at bribery,” for which he was fined and imprisoned for six months. A weeks later he was disbarred by Massachusetts Supreme Ccurt. Later he was conneeted with another case, in which his bBad record was fully ex- posed. Then he retired from the scene of action. The following cases will give a2 summary of Convict O'Connell criminal history: 17 Mass., 223; 174 Mass., 253-261; 186 Mass., 541; 66 North- eastern Reports, page 788. O’Connell was sent to prison for be. ing a party to an attempt to bribe Councilman Lang to vote for Edwari R. Donovan for the office of City Treas urer and Tax Collector of Lowell. Lanc seemingly agreed to the scheme, b concealed a stenographer and witnes behind a screen when the time came to pay over the bribe of $250. Convictions of all the guilty men were easily se cured, and Donovan did not get the office, except temporarily, by appoint- ment by the Mayor. Are the two Bernard Daniel O’Con- nells one and the same person? They are of about the same age. Attorney O’Connell of this city confided to Cos- tello that he originally came from Mas- sachusetts. Both men were educated for the bar and both have practiced. The San Francisco O'Connell is known to his sponsors principally through his membership in a promi- nent fraternal organization. Another feature in the case is a letter received at the Supreme Court recently. This missive states that the O’Con- nell who was admitted to prac- tice here last August is the ex-con- vict. The writer is a woman, an old friend of the Massachusetts briber, and she evidently does not wish to lose track of him. She lacks the education possessed by the one-time lawyer, but her remarks are at least very much to the point when she refers to him. O’Connell is expected back from New York in about two weeks. — e ADVERTISEMENTS.
