WORKS BOARD WANTS LAWTER The Board of Public Works is pre- paring a supplementary estimate of budget expenses for the next fiscal year to be presented to the Board of Super- visors for its consideration in a day or wo. The estimate will contain a re- quest for the appointment of an attor- ney to conduct its legal affairs. John | B. Gartland, a clerk in the department, who has been attending to the legal business of the board for several years, yesterday requested the board to relieve him from that portion of his multifa- rious duties. Gartland -says he has come to be in the nature of a bureau of information for the Department of Works, and the legal business has increased to such an extent that he is unable to stand the strain. Gartland -says that there are now fourteen cases pending in the Su- preme, Superior and Justices’ coufts, in which former and present Commis- sioners of Works are defendants. The board agrees with Gartland that an at- torney should devote his entire time to its legal affairs, and to that end will ask that funds be provided for the em- ployment of an attorney. The salary will be anywhere from $150 to $250 per month—that is, if the Supervisors ac- quiesce. The City Attorney is the legal adviser of all city departments, but owing to pressure of other business is unable to devote much time to the Board of Works. The City Engineer’s office i{s confront- ed with a serious difficulty owing to the fact that several of the assistant en- gineers have resigned their positions to accept more lucrative employment. During the last month no less than five such employes have severed their con- nection with the department, and the force {s badly crippled as a result. Those who have left or are about to leave are Surveyors Pidge and Her- mann, Engineers Price and Holcomb and Draughtsman Burrage, and more are to follow. The force at present is unable to handle the regular office work, and unless rellef is provided by the Board of Supervisors in the next budget the preliminary work under the bond issue cannot be accomplished. The matter will be considered at to-day’'s meeting of the Board of Works. —_———— JAMES K. PRIOR'S WILL IS FILED FOR PROBATE Decedent Bequeaths Estate Worth Over Hall a Million Dollars to Immediate Relatives. A petition for probate of the will of the late James K. Prior was filed yesterday. In the petition it is stated that decedent’s property is worth $6510,000, all but $10,000 of which is represented by real estate. The petition was filed by James K. Prior Jr., Josephine Metzner, Thomas P. Andrews and D. H.

Prior Jr., Mrs. Margaret Delgar, Toney Prior and Leland S. Prior, all children of the testator, and Lester Francis Prior, a grandson. —-— Bitten by Viclous Dog. Robert Flynn, 8 years of age, resid- ing with his parents at 375 O'Farrell street, was severely bitten by a New- foundland dog yesterday.

Sheriff Curtis’ request was $600 higher than last year, the extra amount being for the purchase of three sand wagons. The total of the Sheriff’s item for sala- ries, subsistence of prisoners and main- tenance of jails is $138,220. He also wanted $1275 to repair jail No. 1 and $8050 to repair jails Nos. 2 and 3. The committee cut down ‘the amount for request. The other figures were allowed to stand. The committee allowed the Assessor $48,200 for charter salaries, $40,000 for salarles of extra clerks, $6000 for addi- tional extra clerks and $1000 for ex- penses of field deputies. Treasurer McDougald wanted- $18,700 in all, including $2400 for two additional clerks and $500 for incidental expenses and for transportation of funds to Sac- ramento. The matter of one of the ad- ditional clerks was taken under advise- ment, but the other items were allowed. Recorder Godchaux asks for $30,000 for copyists, against $27,000 for last year, and for $20,100 for other salaries, including $6000 for four extra deputies and $1200 for a machinist. He also wants $3800 for book typewriting ma- chines and $760 for stamps. The com- mittee allowed $18,900 for salaries and $28,000 for copyists. The item of the typewriting machines was passed tem- porarily. Tax Collector Smith asked for $68,800 for salaries, including $1500 for a stenographep, which latter item, how- ever, was withdrawn. For incidentals he wants $4580, but this item was cut to some extent. It is the iptention of the committee to provide specifically for each item of expense, 0 as to preserve the urgent necessity fund intact as far as possible. The committee will resume considera- tion of the budget this afternoon, when the estimates of the Police and Fire Commissioners will be taken up. On Thursday afternoon the estimates of the Justices’ clerk and of the Civil Service, Health and Elections Com- missions will be gone over, and on Friday afternoon those of the Park Commission and Board of Public ‘Works. ————— Yosemite Now Open.

CALL HARRISO William Greer Harrison, president of the Olympic Club, was called as witness for the defense at the trial of Joseph Smith, the aged contractor charged with the murder of Joseph E. McGowan at 2969 Mission street on No- ‘| vember 26. In answer to a question by Attorney Ach, based upon the blow the defendant. received on the chin from McGowan, followed by the- defendant’s falling and cutting his forehead on a marble slab, he expressed the opinion iithat ét wguld have put the defendant n a dazed condition so inot know what i some minutes later. “I remember the case of Harry Chester,” continued Harrison. “He was engaged in a four-round bout at Olympic Club about a year ago. In by a blow on the chin, but got o feet before the count of ten. gfle rox:z;l:: out that round and the three succeed- ing rounds and was awarded the ‘bout. Some minutes later, when in the dressing-room, he shook himself, and looking round, asked when the bout was to begin. He had fought auto- matically after recelving the bl the chin.” ® Lt trict Attorney Byington, who asked a number of questions hypothetical and otherwise, but Harrison steered clear of contradicting himself, explaining that he merely expressed an opinion. The defendant took the stand and, lost all recollection of what happened after recelving the blow on mf"cm. He had no hatred against Joseph Mc- Gowan and there was no reason why e should have killed the young man. He sald he had been a heavy drinker since the death of his wife, two years 2go, and had several drinks of brandy on the morning of November 26 prior to the murder. He was troubled with Insomnia and drank to make him sleep. He contradicted James Beatty in sev- eral important ¢ _tails. Several of the Jurors took a hand in questioning him as to his drinking habits. He was un- der cross-examination when court ad- Journed. . —_——— ‘Wants Vicious Dog Suppressed. Russell Kirby, a boy 11 years of age, living with his parents at 2123 Grove street, obtained a warrant from Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest of *Jane Doe” Curtis, 311 Van Ness avenue, on a charge of al- lowing a dog to run at large. The dog is a big and vicious one and bit the boy’s hand badly last Sunday. Po- liceman W. T. Hooper says he has re- ceived several complaints from parents about the same canine biting their children and twice it attacked him. >, ————— e Alleged Gambler Arrestéd. James Crichton, 30 years of age, son of a contractor, residing at 109 Baker street, was arrested yesterday by order of Captain Gleeson on sus- picion of making a poolbook on the races. He was charged at the Stan- yan-street station. with vagrancy and was highly indignant over his arrest. —_————— Card and Loose Leaf Systems, $2.00 buyvs a card index drawer, record cards, alphabetical index and 25 gulde cards. ‘Twinlock and Moorekguse loose-leaf ledgers and ' Shaw-Walker fil- e e T S lone; en printing and brzomndlnq. fl-lbom.‘!’V 500 18 AN EXPERT ) he was doing tort the | the first round he was knocked down Harrison was cross-examined by Dis- | in answer to questions, said he had . !

The Appel- (late Court of the PFirst District, in | which are San Francisco and Alameda | counties, will be the first to begin the . holding of sessions. | The Supreme Court Commission, all j of whose members have been appoint- ied to the new courts, has probably ! passed out of existence for good. The Commissioners upon receiving their |appointments as Appellate Judges | tendered their resignations to Chief | Justice Beatty of the Supreme Court, | the power that appointed them. The i terms of the Commissioners would not | have expired before May 12 and the | Supreme Court has power to appoint {a new lot, but it is quite improbable |that it will do_so. The commission | had but two officers, a secretary and | an assistant secretary and stenogra- | pher. The former has been taken i care of by one of the new courts and | the other will "probably be. They ! were both appointed by the Supreme | Court. i i Appellate Judges R. C. Harrison, J. | A. Cooper and Samuel P. Hall, who occupy the bench of the First District Appellate Court, met yesterday at the office in the Supreme Court quarters occupied by Judge Harrison as a com- missioner and settled the questions of who shall be clerk and when they shall begin sessions. A. W. Johnson, secretary of the commission, was | made clerk, and May 10 was fixed upon as the date when the court of | this district will hold its first sitting. { Judges Cooper and Harrison will re- | tain the offices now occupied by them and Judge Hall will take that to be vacated by General Chipman, who is | on the Third District bench.’ Of the { other three rooms, two will be set | aside for the clerk and his deputy and {one for the stenographer and the bai- | 1L, 1 JOHNSON CLERK OF FIRST. | The appointment of Johnson is the end of an active political fight. James | R. Oliver, secretary of the Prison Commission, was also a candidate. It | is said the main reason for his defeat is that he was deemed too valuable an employe for the Prison Board to let go, so he and the many influential friends who worked for him have: | something to be gratified over, even in defeat. Johnson was deputy Su- preme Court clerk six years and has | been secretary of the commission | three years. Miss E. B. McKeen, stenographer ‘and assistant secretary of the Supreme | Court Commission, is among the can- | | didates for the position of deputy | clerk of the First District Court. | Neither a deputy clerk nor any other officer except the clerk was chosen at | the meéting esterday. i The First District Judges have been assigned 200 cases. They will take up first those that have been hang- ing fire the longest and in which there is more urgent need of decisiens. These number thirty or forty. To hear and decide 200 cases is a year's| work and cannot be done at one term. | Thre are a number of applicants for | | admission to the bar and the Judges of the First District Court will hear | | applications for certificates at the | May session. ! Judge Harrison will be the presiding | Judge of the First, Judge Gray of the . Second, and General Chipman of the | Third District. | | All nine of the Appellate Judges were {in this city yesterday. They held a | consultation at General Chipman’'s of- | fice during the afternoon and settled | upon some necessary rules. | REPORTER’S SALARY SMALL. Homer Wood, clerk of the Third | District Court, was present during part ! of the conference. Wood’'s appointment was also arrived at after a warm po- litical fight. It was announced that he was the special candidate of Gen- eral Chipman, but this is denfed by politicians on the inside, who say that ! a totally different force brought about + his_appointment. | The clerk of the Second District | Court, in the jurisdiction of which is Los Angeles, has not yet been ap- pointed. There is a fight for the place, among the leading candidates being | Justice of the Peace Lillle of Visalia, J. M. lleredith of Los Angeles and ! Deputy County Clerk Warren of Los | Angeles. The members of this court, Judges Wheaton A. Gray, M. T. Allen ! and George H. Smith, will meet early next week in Los Angeles and make a selection. In fixing its calendar the Second District Court will follow the lines of the Supreme Court. For each of the three courts there | remain to be appointed a deputy clerk, | a stenographer and a balliff, the first | two at $150 a month each, and the lat- ter at $100. - There are few applica- | tions for the positions of reporters be- cause of the smallness of the salary !and several of the new Judges have | expressed the opinion that the Legis- | lature should have made the salary of this place larger. { The calendar of the Third District | has been set for May 156. The members of this court, Judges N. P. Chipman, | A. J. Buckles and C. E. McLaughlin, will meet in Sacramento Thursday to select rooms at the State Capitol. . Those members of the new courts ‘who were Commissioners will grasp the | opportunity to take a vacation between now and the calling of the calendars. — e MEETING OF TRUSTEES OF MECHANICS' INSTITUTE Livingston Jenks Is Appointed to Fill ‘Vacancy of the Late George H. ‘Wallace. At the meeting of the board trustees of the Mechanics' Institute L st night Livingston Jenks was ap- puinted to fill the vacancy caused by the death of George H. Wallace. Eleven of the fourteen members were present. The regular business of the com- mittee was reported and vplaced on file. A petition was submitted to the board asking it to sanction the pro- posed safety station at the junction at Larkin, Hayes and Market streets, which received ithe approval of the board. The trustees were well pleased with the police and fire protection accorded the pavilion during the re- cent exhibition. i el S A CUSTOMS APPOINTMENT —Captain W. 1 Pintoraes as & Sischarging ethcer. vice M3 'JOHNSON MADE A CLERKi I for i Is Held by the Juristsi of |- CHILDREN’S BLACK COT: TON HOSE — Hermsdorff fast black; in medium and heavy weight; made with double knees, heels and toes; in sizes 5% to 9'/,7 25c per pair LADIES’ LACE LISLE HOSE —In black, navy, tans, cham- pagne, biscuit, green shades, double heels and toes— 50c per pair LADIES’'NEW TAN SHADES —Also Hermsdorff fast black fine Lisle Hose; spliced heels and toes; double soles— 3 for $1.00 UNDERWEAR LADIES’ IMPORTED SWISS COTTON VESTS — Low neck and no sleeves; medium weight; nicely finished.

When the case of Michael McCar- thy, charged with the murder of his wife, came up in Judge Cook’s court for trial yesterday his attorney chal- lenged the panel on the ground that the jurors had been drawn in Decem- ber last and that their services had- expired at the close of the year. The Judge said that if the challenge was pressed he would have to allow it The same jurors had been acting on many trials without objection, he ex- plained, but when a challenge was made it would be a fatal error not to entertain it. The Judge ordered that 150 names be drawn, returnable at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the impaneling of the i jury will be commenced. McCarthy shot his young wife Oc- tavia, in their room at a lodging- house, 1424 Market street, on the morning of September 19. She lin- gered in great agony till December 5, when she died. At the time of his ar- rest McCarthy made a statement that his wife had confessed that she had been out all night with another man and in a mad fit of jealousy he shot her. This statement was indignantly denied by the young wife’s parents and her sister, who asserted that Me- Carthy had treated his wife cruelly from the date of their marriage and that she had been faithful to him. —_———————— Good Health depends on pure food.

John Perry Jr. received congratu- lations from several hundred of his friends last night in the parlors of the Pleasanton Hotel. It was his ninetieth birthday and a reception was given in honor of the event. He was in spright- ly mood. showing the life and spirit of a man many years younger. Mr. Perry was the first president of the San Francisco Stock and Bond Ex- change and the present members sent him a huge floral plece. BURLESQUE UNDER WAY It Is to Be-©pened Next Month on Mason Street by a Manager From New York City. San Franeisco is soen to have a home of musical burlesque under the management of a man who has made that form of stage offering succeed in New York and other Eastern cities. His name is Weber and he has leased the Terrace Gardem, on Mason street, between Eddy and Ellis, and is now transforming its interior to accord with his plan—the only plan, he avers, by which such an enterprise can be made permanently attractive to the public and profitable to the manage- ment. A stage is in course of con- struction which will be sufficiently spacious to admit of spectacularism, and a set of principal performers, a mixed chorus of twenty-four voices and a complete orchestra are being engaged. Lionel Lawrence, who has produced some good things on O'Far- rell street, will direct the stage. Instead of confining his audiences to regulation theater seats, Manager Weber will have them seated at tables in both the auditorium and gallery, where refreshments can be served. The admission prices will be 50 and 25 cents and respectability is to be care- fully preserved in every respect. It is the present intention to open the new playhouse early in May with an at- tractive bill. —_— Dispute as to Signature. Owing to a conflict of testimony that clearly indicates free indulgence in perjury by one side or the other Justice of the Peace Dunn yesterday postponed to May 1 further hearing of the suit of Eugene Zimmerman against Mrs. David Simpson for $140, alleged to be due as commigsion for the sale of a piece of prope: at 125 Ellert street. Zimmerman and his partner swear positively that the de- fendant signed the contract, and Mrs. Simpson and her son make oath with equal firmness that the signature |is not hers.
