Ward, president of the Board of Health, yesterday laid | open the internal affairs of that body | for the benefit of Judge Sloss and the | lawyers in the case of John E. Quinn | against Auditor Baehr and Treasurer | MacDougald. Quinn, as a taxpayer, | is backed by the Merchants’ Associa- “ tion in an action to enjoin the pay-| ment of salaries to the deputy health | icer d inspecting physicians | whose offices were created for them on January 9 last. Dr. Ward was on the stand nearly | all day and was examined by Attor- neys Wright and Franklin K. Lane and cross-examined by Abe Ruef. He said there was a tight combination against himself and Dr. Stinson in the old board and Dr. Stinson later cor- offi roborated this statement. Dr. Ward justified the present board in its ac- tion in abolishing several positions and in creating new places which were filled with other men. The changes, he said, had been made in good faith and in the interests of economy. In six months a saving to the city of $5600 had been effected and in the last budget the Health Board allowance had been cut down $10,000. The new system of inspec- benefited the low- number of epidemic diseases ced the mortality of children e lower than that of any pre- ear.

The doctor denied this and it brought up the matter of his testi- mony before the Board of Supervisors saloon -at if, on he nge on Janu 13 in the investigation into the board action in making the chan, . roo MANY LAWYERS. Dr. Ward did not remember his tes- timony of that occasion and explained at his 1 s able, because five or six lawyers were on fop of him all the time. There were some discrepancies between his imony then and now. ~He said yes- ay that neithtr Mr. Ruef nor the Mayor had “vouehed” for Louis Levy, the deputy health officer. He told the Supervisors that one or the other of them “‘recommended” him. The doc- tor admitted that Mr. Ruef’s recom- mendation carried a great deal of ! weight with him, and he took occasion to throw several bouquets at Mr. Levy for his executive and other abilities. As to the change from “sanitary in- spectors” to ‘“inspecting physicians,” the witness ‘declared that the new name was not original, but it gave the office more dlgnity and enabled the board to secure men better quali- fied for the position. The board did | not believe that physicians needed to | shoe factories, Brush Manulaciurers. 609 Sacramento St. ' yass a civil service examination, and that was one of the reasons the com- mission was not applied to for a list of eligibles from which to fill the posi- tions.

Miss Blanche is the pupil of Nathan Landsberger, who may be justly proud of her. I heard the little fiddler, -a nice, broad-browed, unaf- fected lassie of 16, in two numbers, the Grieg sonata for piano and violin, Op. 8, and the Mozart Concerto in E flat major. Both were exceptionally well played. Miss Coonan has temperament and plenty of poise, a facile technique and good tone. She plays with unusual freedom and aplomb, her intonation is delightfully true, and altogether she is one of the most promising students I have ever heard. The difficult Mozart concerto the violinist played with a good deal of the classic instinct and technical surety, and the Grieg with an equally true feeling for the modern note. In both she was sympathetically accompanied by Miss Josephine./ Miss Josephine Coonan is presented by Hugo Mansfeldt, with whom she has been studying for some time. The pianist has done much good work since T heard her about a year ago, and gave her group of compositions, the Liszt “Heroide Elegiaque,” the Liebling Ca- pricietto, the Poldini Concert Etude (Op. 19, No. 6) in capable fashion. numbers given were the Leon- ard Grande Fantasie Militaire, Leport “‘Melodrame de Piccolino,” and Capri- cietto, Sauret, for violin, and a Schu- mann novelette, Elkus’ “Lady of Sha- Other POLICE JUDGES WILL LEND 41D Agree to Co-operate With Supervisors in Prosecut- ing License Tax Evaders YORKE'S DEMAND HEARD ' Finance Committee Feels | Inclined to Pay Current | Bill for Street Repairs| The members of the Finance Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday held a conference with the | Police Judges and Chief of Police Wittman relative to the crusade now being waged against all persons liable for the payment of license taxes to the city who have evaded payment in the past. The Police Judges were pequested | and agreed to co-operate with the committee in bringing all those who ! persist in refusing to pay their license taxes to justice. It was decided by | the committee to swear out warrants for the arrest of all offenders in that connection, and the Police Judges pro- pose to construe the law in imposing sentences exactly as found in the or- dinances imposing the various license taxes. The Finance Committee began an investigation into the bill of F. M. Yorke & Co. for repairing bituminous pavements during September amount- ing to $3727. Inspector Boone cer- tified as to the correctness of the sur- | face area with the allowances made for extra depth. Boone admitted that his conclusions were from guesswork in the main and he kept no written record of his figures. The committee held that this was irregular, but the | York Company claimed that it was not to blame for any defection in the method of measurement. Boone agreed to keep a daily record of the | work done. It was stated that the work of re- | pairing the streets had ceased owing to ! the fact that thes contractors’ bills had been held up. The committee felt that the work should not be stopped and promised to take action on the | demand at next Monday's meeting. It/ was Intimated that the bill wijll be | passed leaving the August demand, | which was held up, to be determined | by the courts.

On Monday evening the | audience was composed largely of the clergy of all denominations, who have given unqualified praise to Professor Gayley's nativity play, and playgoers of all classes have given hearty dem- onstration of their pleasure in the per- formance. The production is the same as the now historic and beautiful one | ziven a couple of weeks ago by Ben | Greet and his players at the University | of California. Miss Crawley as the Angel Gabriel, John Sayer Crawley as King Herod and Ben Greet as the shepherd Mak are the principals of the cast, each contributing brilliantly to the effect. The play will be given all of this week, including matinees to- day, Friday and Saturday. No one in- terested in the beautiful story of the Nativity, as pictured in the fourteenth | century, and here so admirably por- trayed, can afford to miss “The Star of Bethlehem.” How is it with you?
