To show the patent absurdity of your posi- tion it is but’mpecessary to give one simple fllustration: If in his zeal and devotion to the public service Mr. ndrews of the Grand Jury should present a bill for $5000 for his personal services and time and money ex- perded, would you, under order of any Judge, sudit his demand and eighteen similar de- mands of his fellow grand jurors if presented, the statute making no provisions whatever for the payment of grand jurors? You certainly would not, and if you would not allow sich demands you certainly had no right to allow the demands in question, I therefore again request you to make good to the Treasurer of the city and county the amounts allowed by you for the expenses re- ferred to. Respectfully, E. E. SCHMITZ, Mayor of the City and County of San Fran- clsco, The amounts of the demands audit- ed by Baehr for Grand Jury expenses on court orders aggregated the sum of $13556 43. Other demands amount- ing to $162 50 were audited also, | making a total of $1517 93 expended. —— e SAYS HE WAS BEATEN AND ROBBED,— John Riordan, & recently soldier from the Twenty-second Infantry, says he | was robbed of $9 vesterday afternoon by two privates named Gallagher and Burke from the same regiment.

The twenty-ninth annual statement of The | Prudential of Newark, N. J., which is pub- : lished on another pags, shows the Company to be stronger financlally and in public confidence | than ever befors. The year 1904 is reported to | have been one of unusual gains in every de- | partment of the Company’s business. The Company issued and paid for in new insurance during the year over 812 million dollars, which | 18 the largest of any single-year's results in tha Company’s history. The number of policies in | force has been increased by over 500 thousand, | bringing the total number of policies in force | p to nearly six millions. The total amount of tnsurance at risk is over one billion dollars. | In payment to policy-holders The Prudential | has maintained and its records for | liverality. During the year The Prudential | paid to policyholders over 13 millfon dollars, | while since the organization of the Mm has the total payment to its policyholders over $2 miilion dollars. One Interesting fea- ture brought out In the statement is the fact | that in cash dividends and other concession: | not stipulated in original coptracts, The Pru- | dential has paid to_holders of old policies over ! | & million dollars. When changes are made in | policy contracts or rates which result in in- creased liberality to the insured, The Pruden- | tial always makes such changes retroactive, | wherever ‘it is practicable to do #o, and the | above payment is the result of this well de- fined policy on the part of the Company. Nearly 74 million dollars is held as reserve by the Company te an, rotect policy contracts, the assets include a surplus to policy- 18,325,806 83. The complete sched- owned by The Prudential shows the securities to be of the highest grade.

Judge Coffey had another short session with the Stoddard-Schur guardianship controversy yesterday, and finding that the father of little | Lillle Schur had placed her in the care |of a woman named Bertha Leader, | decideq to leave her there for a month on probation. Fannie Stoddard is the aunt of the child and wants the custody. She is the sister of the girl's 3muther, who was Schur’s second wife. | It appears from the evidence that the | first wife, from whom Schur had been: | divorced, began living with him again |three days before the second wife died. She continued to act as his | hcusekeeper, and it was said that they intended to remarry. Yesterday, how- tever, Schur said that he had left the | woman and did not intend to marry {her.

Commissioner Aigeltinger yesterday had resolutions prepared for adoption by the Board of Works at its meeting to-day inviting sealed proposals for | the repair of bituminous pavements | on the following streets: Golden Gate avenue, Turk, Eddy, | Fulton, Ellis, O’Farrell, McAllister, | Grove, Hayes, Fell, Oak, Geary and | Post streets, from Van Ness avenue to | Devisadero street; Van Ness avenue | Franklin, Gough, ' Octavia, Laguna, | Buchanan and Webster streets from | Market to Post; Fillmore, Steiner, Pierce, Scott and Devisadero streets from Waller to Post; Page, Haight and Waller streets from Market to Devisadero. Algeltinger belleves that putting up contracts for competitive bidding is the only proper method, although he has been requested to parcel out the work so that it could be done for sums | less than $400 In each instance, which | would not require advertising. He hopes to have most of the worst streets repaired by next July. Con- tracts will also be let to keep Market et in constant repalr. The Board of Works will also let a | contract for building a guupet along the beach to the CIliff House for $4600. The Board of Supervisors wanted the work done by day’s labor and had a resolution prepared at last Monday’s meeting, but it was with- drawn because Aigeltinger showed it would be more profitable for the city to enter into a contract for the im- provement. A new resolution to_that effect will be adpoted at next Mon- day’s meeting.

It is a strenuous work for those to whom the leading roles fall, because they have so much do. The last opera to be written by prolific Bellini, who turned out seven In a period of eleven years, and | all before he was 33 years old, it bears| the mark of riper thinking than some | of the earlier works that bear his name. In contriving means to reach a | satisfactory ensemble effect it is supe- | rior to “Norma,” which is generally ac- counted to be Bellini's best. 1 The wonder is that “I'Puritani” is not often produced. Tetrazzini found | it a competent vehicle to carryherhigh ; liquid notes, her roulades, her trills. In its languishing arias she awakened the | customary Tetrazzini storm of enthu-! slasm, which extended to Signor Polac- | co. BSignor Cervi and Signor Romboli achieved a tremendous success in the great duet in the second act, “Sound the Trumpet Boldly.” Signor Colli sang the music of his role, that of the lover, with as much tenderness as his per- sistent vibrato would ‘permit. The chor- us was much used and proved to be strong and tuneful to a degree. ————————————— CABLE OAR ORUSHES LEGS OF TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY Linooln Johnson, on His Way With Valentines, Is Horribly Injured and May Die.

CO CITY, Feb. 14.—Several s | Agricultural RECOLAR DUTY FOR ALL WHEAT Senate Adopts Amendment of Hansbrough Relative to Drawback on the Cereal DEBATE GROWS BRISK Bill Passed by the Upper House With but the Single Alteration WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The Senate to-day passed the agricultural appro- priation bill and took up the District of Columbia appropriation bill. The Hansbrough amendment to the agricul- tural bill, relative to the drawbacks on wheat, was agreed to, after an extended debate, in which the tariff question figured to a considerable extent. The amendment declares that paragraph 234 of the act, which imposes a specific duty on wheat, shall net be held to be affected by section 30 of the same act, which provides for a drawback on | ported articles in domestic manufa ture. Pettus made the point that the amendment was out of order, remark- ing, however, that the effect of the drawback was to defraud the farmers and rcb the United States Treasury of its dues. His point was not sustained. An amendment suggested by Allison striking out the portion construing the intention of the Dingley law and con- fining it to the operation of the law, was accepted. “Will the Senator whe had much to do with framing the law say that it was intended to nullify the provisions of the duty?” asked Hansbrough. Allison replied that it was Intended that the drawback feature of the tariff should be greatly enlarged. Patterson suggested an amendment making the provision applicable to lead ores as well as wheat. “The mining industry is as Important in some parts of the country as the milling industry is in qthers,” Patter- son said, “and all that I ask is that that industry shall have the benefit of the proposed declaration.” Patterson’s amendment was voted down. Hansbrough's amendment was agreed to. The bill as amended was then passed and the District of Co- lumbia appropriation bill taken up. —_———————— HOUSE INQUIRES ABOUT NAVY STEEL CONTRACTS Morton Called Upon to Explain Why Bid of Midvale Company ‘Was Rejected.
