A THE /SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1905 GENIUS SHINES IN " CREATORE’S BIG BAND. PR R i . FAMOUS _ BANDMASTER _ WHO WILL GIVE A SERIES OF CON- CERTS AT THE ALHAMBRA. An unusual and attractive person- ality has Creatore, who, with his Ttal- fan band, will appear in concert at the Alhambra Theater all next week. Cre- atore’s physiognomy is strikingly distinctive. He has the head and gen- eral appearance of a poet. This, how- . ‘ever, is corrected, in a measure. by his generalehip which he exercises over " his phalanx of carefully selected mu- sicfans, His demeanor s studious, with rather more than a tinge of mel- ancholy, and this dominates his ex- - pression at almost all times. No one who has ever once Seen a shotograph or lithograph of Creatore can ever after fail to identify the orig- inal in any public place or gathering. and is the soul of justicé in matters ©f right and wrong, especially where his musicians are concerned. While to them he is always a strict disciplin- arian, he is, neyertheless, ever alert to protect their rights against all | | comers. 1In this regard he shows no i favoritism. treating all with equal {0 courtesy and justice. To Creatore one member of his band is as good as an- other, while to them his word is law. The favorable result of this successful admixture of discipline and _fairness . becomes apparent the moment Cre- .+ atore takes his baton in hand, and -thoge who attend his concerts reap the henefit in the form of such music as Creatore and his men can alone pro- duce. —_—————— Denies Writs of Mandate.

Frye has long been in the habit of calling the Californian | to the -chair whenever he himself| wished to vacate for a time, and so| when Senator Frye took sick the place fell naturally to Senator Perkins. As the days ran on there came bills to be signed. Senator Perkins declined to assume that function. But other days passed and other bills piled up ready to go to the President or to the House, and so - the “Senate “passed a resolution authorizing Senator Perkins to sign and make the bills good. he has since then been virtually President of the Senate and as such has certified to the Presidential re- turns from a number of the States. So | And there -are none to say that the business of the most distinguished leg- islative body in tfie world does not move as smoothly and correctly under his guidance as at any time in its his- tory. Senator Perkins spent the Christ- mas recess in Florida. He had a curi- osity about it as being the only State in the Union he had not visited. He found a good many things much as they are represented on the bills, but he says “Pshaw!"” when you speak of comparisons with California. tels and the price per day are big and fine, but for the rest, “well, /nians don’t know what they've got. “I always feel that way when I visit places that bear big reputations along our own lines—ftor fruit, | olives, wines and the like.

When 1 say that I, of course, take into account | the difference in age and put some- | what into the balance on our side our great stretch of fertile lands and the! energy and purpose of our people. In very many things we have distanced the old countries in the very products that have made them famous. Still there are things that we have not done that we can do and that we will | We are moving rapidly and we do. | have almost unlimited opportunity. could do much that she has not done. For modern progress the State is in- ! debted almost to one man alone. Th2 negro as a laborer is a lazy and shift- | less quantity and nothing very rapid can be expected where he is greatly depended upon. But yet Florida has something to teach us. It is how and why to grow the pineapple. That is an easy thing to do, it appears, and they tell me it ylelds a value of $400 per acre. Why it has not been grown,in | California I do not understand. | eastern portions of San Diego, River- . side and San Bernardino counties are peculiarly adapted for the crop. The pineapple is more of an air than an earth plant. quires very little water. It also re- ! quires but little attention, which is one reason, no doubt, that it is so popular down in Florida. However, that should not be an objection anywhere.” Senator Perkins says this little ex- cursion was the first bit of recreation he has taken in many years. During the twelve years he has represented | California in the upper house he has (been absent from his seat but twice | while the Senate was in session and then he was sick. In the matter of drydocks, because of the failure of contractors in more places than San Francisco, the Gov- ernment is suffering a handicap. Only at Brooklyn, of all the navy yards of the nation, is there a dock of suf- ficlent size to admit a battleship. And because there are several battleships undergoing repairs and which will have to be docked for one reason or another, the demand is much larger than the supply. It will thus be seen that the regiving of the contract at Mare Island ‘was none too hurried. In the long stretch of the Pacific Coast from San Diego to Point Bar- row, there are two navy yards. That at Mare Island is to be equipped at once with a drydock capable of re- ceiving the largest battleship and also, t is hoped and believed by the Cali- fornia delegation, despite the opposition manifested in the Bureau of Construc- tion, with cranes-and tools fitting it for building as well as repairing. This is recognized as a necessity.

WALL. 24.—Senator salmon hatched and planted by the bureau fishermen are catching 2000 some weeks. | Pounds of adult salmon for the mar- ket. As the entire expense of this work to the Government is shown to | be under $1 per thousand fish planted, Bowers' estimates that salmon culture is yielding an enormous profit. If the average results are but one-tenth those indicated, he says, the bureau's oper- ations give an actual money return of 1000 per cent per mnnum. ol ety “Beneficial use” has come to be a frequently used term in the talk of the Reclamation Bureau touching the question of the diversion of waters for irrigation purposes. “Beneficial use,” says the Secretary of the Interior in a recent report to Congress touching the Colorado River schemes, “should be the basis measure and limit” under which individuals or corporations may ask or Congress.should grant the right to use waters of navigable streams. The diversion of water unon land for the purpose of . irrigation is not enough, it will be seen. The diver- sion must be upon land of a character with profitable crops when so watered. The inference is that all the land upon which water, money and effort have been expended is not of that chdrac- ter. Some of it is so heavily charged with alkali that the water will not re- deem it . In regard to the Colorado River the report says, with its great fluctuations, its flood In spring dwindling to thread of swater in the fall, only b the comprehensive plans of the Govs ernment, involving the building of great and expensive reservoirs, can its waters be properly conserved and any considerable area be irrigated whiie the navigability of the river is still maintained. With the Government plans carried out some 2,000,000 acres may be irrigated. It is declared to be manifestly improper to permit further appropriations by individuals and corporations, as such make the work of the Government more and difficult. Appropriations al- ready made, it is said, should be rec. ognized as “1mited to the extent that water has acfually been divertéd and beneficially used upon land capable of producing remunerative crops.” o g The so-called Kiamath project is esteemed by the Reclamation Bureau as one of the most feasible of all the reclamation schemes its engineers are working out. The reason first as. signed is that it will return more for the money. But even an engineer will lean to a picturesque feature in his business. This scheme will first create a desert and then redeem it. It will throw away an abundance of wa- ter, drain two or three lakes to get at the tillable soil beneath, which it will water from another lake higher up. By draining Tule Lake 100,000 acres will be uncovered. Lower Klamath Lake will rolease 25,000 more. Then there Is a bog area to be drained, embracing about 80,000 acres. About 120,000 acres, of valley land is cluded in the $cheme. All this-is to be watered by the proper disposition of the waters of Upper Klamath Lake, a body of water - covering a - surface area of about 70,000 aeres. This scheme necessitates legislative action on the part of the national Govern- | ment and the States of California and Oregon, the States being required to waive their title to the beds of the lakes which are on the boundary. The | Government works will cost about $4,000,000. The work will be begun at once following the legislative war- rant stated. S S AR e Oppose Reduction in School Fund. President Roncovleri of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools Langdon leave to-day for Sac- ramento for the purpose of opposing the proposed reapportionment of funds received from the State for the sup- port of the public schools, which will cause a loss of $250.000 in revenue for | San Francisco from that source. The two school officials will urge that the present method. which provides for the income of schools based on the number of school census children, be retained instead of the actual enroll- ment of pupils as contemplated by the proposed” act. & For the Board ef Relief. The Native Sons’ joint literary and sccial committee will give an enter- tainment in Natlve Sons' Hall this in- | lantic Coast within the distance repre- sented on the Pacific Coast by Puget Sound and Mare Island, there are seven navy yards. These facts plead for the most liberal treatment at the hands evening in aid of the board of relief of the order. An excellent programme will be presented, after which there will be an order of dances. > HEALTH BOARD | CASE ARGUED Franklin K. Lane Questions Good Faith in Abolishing | Offices and Making Others ABE - REPLIES Says That Suit Is. Subter- fuge to Get -Old Feeders: Back to the Public Crib Franklin K. Lane of the counsel em- | ployed by the Merchants' Association ' and Abe Ruef, defending the Board of - Health, divided yesterday before Judge | Sloss in the closing arguments in the case of J. E. Quinn, who seeks as a taxpayer to enjoin the City and Caun- ty Auditor and Treasurer from audit- ing and paying the salaries of the dep- uty health officer and inspecting physi- cians, whose appointments were made coincidental with the creafion of their cffices last Japuary. 5 Mr. Lane’s ‘argument went .to the question of the good faith of the Board | of Health in abolishing old. offices and creating mew ones, “thus disposing of | old employes and making placds for new public servants, The attorney contended that the power' to abolish an office was not arbitrary, but was limited by the charter to the classifica- tion of the civil service. The very pur- pose of the charter, he said, was to RRER RERRRRRRRR LRRRRY RERRR RRER ZRRRRRRERR KRR RE RERRERERRE RERER RARY, RRREREERRE RRRER KRYLRRARE RERRRE LR R RRRR K RRRRRRRY, RRRERRRRR RRRRRR RRERYE RERY RRERERRRRY RERRRY RERrh, take these appointments out of pol- jtics and fill the positions by merit alone. The meaning of the charter was that » man appointed on merit and fit- ness should remain in office until good cause was shown for his dismissal. Such appointees are protected by the law. Said Mr. Lane: “We can come in as taxpayers, and protect .the . public treasury from the consequences of il- legal acts done' in furtherance of schemes ‘to do politics’ and make ap- pointments for expediency when the political wheel turns.” He read an article_on the beneficent effects of the vil -service law and discussed the evils of the “spoils system’ by which political workers are rewarded by ap- pointment for the work done and the work they are able to do. It results, he said, in inefficiency, extravagance and the corruption of the elective franchise. Mr. Lane thought that the history of the acts of the Board of’ Health, in abolishing one office and creating a new one, in disregarding the spirit of the civil service rules, and In other acts cited, had proved a strong case of bad faith. Upon the plea of the other side that the action of the Civil Service Commission in approving the new classifications .of the Board of Health had stopped the court from act- ing, Mr. Lane declared that the il- legal action of any board could not prevent a taxpayer from appealing to the Superior Court. The Civil Service Commission had not gone into the question of duties, efficiency or good | faith in creating new offices, but had merely assumed that the Board of Health had the power to make a new classification. If this rule should be held good, said the attorney, the whole scheme of the civil service must fall. The change had been made in bad faith and in avoidance of the letter and spirit of the charter. At the afternoon session Abe Ruef answered Mr.. Lane’s argument. He charged that Quinn was acting in bad faith as a taxpayer to prevent the payment of $1800 in salaries for work which had formerly cost the Board of Health $8100. He declared that Louis Levy was doing the work of five men for $150 a month, where $600 had been pald before. He cited instances of the Health Board's action to prove good faith in following the rules of the Civil Service Commission and in reviewing the testimony of members of the board who had acquiesced in the changes, vithout having given personal atten- tion to the object, he sald that faith and confidence was placed in the judg- ment of Dr. Ward, the president, who had an opportunity to determine the necessities from former experience, Referring to Quinn’s suit, Ruef said: “The action is a subterfuge to put back to the public crib men who were feeding there before this political wheel turned which made one man do the | work of five; he is merely asking your | honor to corrunt the administration to put in $8100 of exvenses where $1800 i now exists.” He said that the suit | was based upon a hollow mockery, if not fraud, and was intended to emas- culate the civil service; that if -the contention of the plaintiff should hold. whole pages of the charter relating to civil service would be wiped out. If Levy's position were untenable, every janitor, street sweeper and laborer in th city's employ would have his job illegally, not having undergone a civil service examination. i The Board of Health; said Mr. Ruef. | { had a Tight,to abolish a position In the | interest of retrenchment; had the right | to create a new place and to employ | any one for the efficient carrying out | of its purposes. | i | | | of Congress for the Pacific Coast and its two navy yards. ) ! A The growth and popularity of the | Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is sald to threaten the existence of the magnificent animal from which it gets its name, so far at least as the State of Washington is concerned. In- cidentally the slaughter that annually takes place there in the Olympic forest reserve robs Senator Foster of a good deal of the joy of living that ought to be his. A eonstant stream of petitions and protests pours in upon him complaining that hunters go into the Olympic ‘Mountains weeks before the law gives them the right and that they kill elk in great numbers only to secure their teeth. Where the antlers are good they take the head. Such has been the wholesale killing this year, it is said, that another such sea~ son wi'l see the end of the elk. Sena- tor Foster has sought the aid of the Becretary of Agricuiture and of the | Secretary of the Interior, but both de- clare themesleves helpless. Secretary | Wilson advises the: State of Washing- ton to enforce her game laws, pro- tect male as well as female elk for a period of years, prohibit the sale of | teeth ‘and heads and to provide an ef- fective warden system if she would prevent the extinction of the animal. The nation, he says, lack jurisdiction. * e . ’ ADVERTI! ex All American products, 2broad than at home. Benator Foster of Washingtot :who It is merit and modishnes: takes a lively interest in the salmon fishing industry of the Pacific Coast, has been informed by Commissioner Bowers of the Bureau of Fisheries that artificlal propagation is exerting a very remarkable influence on the supply of salmon, as is instanced by the fact that in 1896 5000 marked fingerling salmon were released from the Clackamas (Oregon) hatchery and of these during 1898, 1899 and 1900 hundreds were caught by the Wash- ington, Oregon and California fisher- ies.
