Mosher, a.contractor re- siding at Palo Alto, who had been charged with importing contract la- . bor, was discharged yesterday by | United States District Judge de Ha- ven. The accusation was that Mosher ! had by means of letters induced Ed- gar C. Burgess, Everett Burgess and | Warren Harvey to g0 from Nova Sco- | tia to Palo Alto under contract to! work for him. The complaint was f}\lled by the Carpenters’ Union of Pnlo] to. The evidence taken yesterday showed that the Burgess brothers are | brothers-in-law of Mosher and the letters produced in court were of a ‘amily nature. In them Mosher quot- ters in California and suggested that they should come to California and het The court held that the persons | S s el Claims He was Robbed. George Brown, an ex-soldier, living at 607 California street, told Police- man J. B. O'Connor early yesterday | morning that an unknown man had! struck him on the head with a blunt instrument, knocking him down, and robbed him of $48. He said the rob- bery occurred in the neighborhood of Adler alley and Montgomery avenue. He eould give no description of the robber, O’Connor sent him to the Cen- where a lacerated wound on his scalp was treated. At the hospital Brown said that his father was George Brown, division superintendent of the North- ern Pacific Railroad at Seattle. Steals Roommate’s Property. G. H.

M. Yorke Com- pany which will insure a vigorous renewal of the repairs to bituminous Chairman Schmitz of the Board of! Public Works stated that the company had complained that Inspector Boone : had refused to allow for extra layers of ¢ bitumen and asked that the committee | decide some definite method for com- i puting the area of repairs. P. M. Gop- cevic, a member of the firm, asserted that Inspector Boone was grossly un- derestimating the amount of work done and cited an instance where he had al- lowed but $42 70 where six tons of bitu-' { men had been used on a Market street block. Boone stated that he had allowed for 21, inches of bitumen although about four inches¢ had been laid. The com- mittee told Boone that it was under- stood that he was to report whenever any extra denth had been laid. After some discussion it was agreed that Boone would file daily reports of the breadths of the patches put down; that | wherever the denth is in excess of 2% inches the inspector shall order it filled with bitumen and shall give specifically the data when it is in such excess. The Yorke Company agreed to go ahead with the work for 2 week and another conference on the subject will be held on Tuesday, January 1805. The Finance Committee held a con- ference with Auditor Baehr and it was agreed to repair the pavement in front of the Phelan block and pay for the same out of the $40,000 appropriation for street repairs, a proceeding which yesterday's Call announced would be done. Bids will be invited for the work, whith it is estimated will cost $2000. If there should be a deficit in the re pair fund at the end of the fiscal year the committee agreed to make it up out of the urgent necessity fund. The Mayor consented to this arrangement so that an eyesore will soon be obliterated. e —e————— LADIES MAKE APPEAL FOR A WORTHY CAUSE California Woman's Hospital Solicits Donations for Its Annual Christ- mas Celebration. The California Woman's Hospital is sending out its usual appeal to the friends of the institution for their Christmas donations and subscrip- tions. The days will be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 21st, 22d and 23d of December. Ladies of the board will be at the following plac those days: Messrs. Goldberg, & Co., 232 Sutter street; the D. uels Lace House Company, 233 street, and the hospital at 3118 Sacra- mento street. An urgent appeal is made, as the need is greater than ever before in the history of the thirty-six years of the institution. Extensive indispensable repairs on ! the old building have been made. Con- stantly increasing high prices for a.l supplies of every kind and nature have made alarming inroads upon the« slender resources of the association. Therefore this very earnest appeal is made, and gifts of money, groceries, bed linen and all other hospital sup- plies will be gratefully received and acknowledged by the board of lady managers of the hospital. The officers are: Mrs. D. H. Witte- more, acting president; Mrs. A. Chese- brough. vice president: Mrs. F. A., Robbins, recording secretary; Miss F. | A.

The sidewall of the O. H. Peck building, in Fifth street South, which was left| standing by the great fire of last Tues- | day night, toppled over in a high gale | onto the hotel, a three-story structure. | The tons of brick and mortar crashed completely down through the building, | carrying floors and all into a mass of | | i debris in the basement. There was no warning of the disaster, and the four- teen persons sleeping in the various apartments were caught in the crushed | structure. | The dead are: Hans Anderson, em- | ployed at Ronner’s livery; James Ham- ilton, employed at Ronner’s livery: C. M. Kenyon, foreman Daniels’ Linseed Ofl Mill; William Lillyblade, employed at Daniels’ Linseed Oil Mill; Mrs. Jen- nie Murr: William Emmermon, la- borer; William Braa, contractor; Jo- seph Violet, coachman.

Maggie McClaire. of those injured were in the adjoining the Crocker, Some Belmont Hotel, and were hurt bv the debris that was forced through the walls separating the two buildings. The perso! in the Crocker House who escaned were Mrs. W. J. Crocker, wife of the proprietor; Hannah Crock- | er, her fifteen-year-old daughter; Wil- lie Crocker, her eight-year-old son; Baby Williams, 4 months old, her grandaughter, and Mrs. May Ritchie. A passerby who heard the crash promptly turned in a fire alarm and the department arrived in time to check an incipient blaze from the wreck, and the firemen and’ policemen at once turned their attention to rescuing those still alive and recovering the dead. This work was carried on under great diffl- culties in the darkness and in the face | of danger from the falling walls. Mrs. Anna McNevins had a wonder- ful escape. She was on the segand floor in bed when the crash came. The firemen took her out of her bed in the basement.

Supervisor Braunhart stated yester- day that he proposes to submit a plan | to the Street Committee whereby with | the co-operation of the Board of | Works some of the street improve- | ments provided for under the recent bond issue may be carried out. Braun- hart's scheme is to have the Board of Works recommend that Mission street from East to Ninth be widened and repaved; that Fourth street from Howard to the bay be sewered, and | that other improvements be recom- mended. It is thought that when the preliminary proceedings are inaugu- rated no difficulty in disposing of ! some of the bonds for street improve- ments will be experienced. ADVERTISEMENTS.
