The San Francisco general session of | the California Teachers' Association | began its deliberations yesterday after- {!noon at the Alhambra Theater, William | H. Langdon, the president, in the chair. | The programme opened with the sing- ing of “Ecco quel flero istante,” by a quartet and then President Langdon took leave of the assemblage as City Superintendent of Schools in feeling { expressions of appreciation of the work which the teachers of the city had ac- complished during his term of office. Later Mayor Schmitz announced that he had selected President of the Board of Education Alfred Roncovieri to succeed Langdon, whereupon a resolu- tion was adopted expressing confidence in_the Mayor's cholce. During Langdon’s address he re- ferred especially to the need of a pen- sion law that should be one in fact and not in name only. The Board of Edu- cation, he sald, had drawn up an amendment to the charter that will, if adopted, establish a foundation upon which would be bulit the pension. He told of the efforts of the board toward the betterment of the teachers’ condi- tions and its exertions for the welfare of the pupils, Roncovieri in an address said among other things: ‘We want your co-operat 4 lwa Tiay, bulld. the: best Gavaciment i ae | world.

Chairman Con- nor of the Street Committee submitted a report to theé effect that the com- mittee had considered all the suggested amendments in connection with the franchise and it had been decided to incorporate the following conditions in the franchise in accordance therewith: That In granting said franchise it be given to run co-extensive with the main-line fran- chise heretofore granted to said Ocean Shore Railway Company, the e to be for ffty years, from October 5, 1 | That at the expiratfon of said franchise the road track and bed of such railway and all of its stationary fixtures upon the public strects shall become the property of the city and county of San Francisco, | That certain percentages be paid by said | railway company to the city and county of San Franclsco during the life of said franchise, ws, viz.: No percentage shall be ex- acted 7or the first five years; for the next suc- | ceeding fifteen years there centum Il be pald 3 per the next | of the grose rec g fifteen years 4 ceipts, and for the next succeeding fif- teen years D per centum of the gross receipts. Such gross receipts shall be bassd upen a just and correct proportion of the receipts arising from the traffic carried over the route men- tioned in the franchise, upon a mileage basis for the mileage of said road, upon all busi- ness carrled over the same, whether said | business originates within or without the city and county of San Francisco. . The ordinance also provides that no mo- | tive power shall be used in the propelling | of the cars and trains of the Ocean Shore | Raflway Company, excepting electricity, unless express authority therefor shall | be granted in the future by the Board | of Supervisors. Also that the overhead construction for that portion of the rail- way on Twelfth street shall be supported by ornamental iron poles placed in the | center of the street. Supervisor Rea questioned the right of the board to grant legally a franchise for fifty years in the face of the charter pro- | vision limiting such grants to twenty-five | yesrs. Rea aisp doubted the power of | the board to grant a second privilege to | the company to enter the city, since sim- | flar privileges had already been granted to the corporation to come in at Army and Illinois streets and also to traverse the park into the Richmond District. Rea, however, sald he would vote aye on the passage to print of the ordinance, and the action of the board was unanimou or that point. The franchise /will come up for final passage on March 4, 1906. Bill 1910, granting the original franchise to the company,- was. indefinitely postponed to clear ‘the records. , ool On motion of Supervisihacliggers the board adjourned out of respect to the memory of the late Joim Spillane, captain of police. Eggers paid a glowing tribute | to the worth of the deceased official. The board will ! meet hex{ Wednesday after- noon for its business session. CLARA LIPMAN'S NEW COMEDY A SUCCESS Author Assumes Title Role and Shares Honors With Louis Mann. BALTIMORE, Dec. 26.—The new com- | edy drama of “Julle Bon-Bon,” written | by Miss Clara Lipman, who appeared in the title role, with Louis Mann sharing the stellar honors, was produced to-night | for the first time on any stage at Al- baugh’s Theater before a large audience. “Julie Bon-Bon” is a comedy of New York life. Julie is a French milliner, who meets John Van Brunt, a young soclety man. He falls madly in love, and Julie allows him to believe she is a French girl of wealth and position. When she finds that she, too, is in love, she is con- fronted by the risk of losing John through a confession of her station in life. Complications ensue, and every effort is made to break up the match. These come near being successful at a banquet, where John drags Julie from the con- vivial board, Lut everything comes out in the conventional way. Mann was particularly well received in the role ot Jean Poujol, the reprobate | father of Julie, as was Miss Lipman as Julie. Both were called before the cur- tain. —— PRESIDENT PLOMOTES MAN WHO DEFENDED POSTOFFICE Laborer in North Carolina Who Drove Oft Burglars Made a Clerk.

The American and Italian fishermen had a falling out at the open- ing of the season. The feeling became so Dbitter that late Monday night a party of Italians descended on the float- ing river saloon in which the Americans were celebrating Christmas and shouted their intention of cleaning out the place. Before they could approach nearer a charge of buckshgt Was fired into their widst and several of them were wounded. Yhe lights in the saloon were put out and We Americans launched a boat and Julled toward the shore. The Itallans noticed ‘he maneuver and followed. When near the bdank the Americans fired upon them again wounding several more. Had it o't been for the fact that the Italians had stopped at the saloon and captured an American named Casay, Who had been loft behind, a fatal fight would have ensued. Casey, who had been wounded, called to his companions ashore to cease firing. To Insure better protec- tion the Itallans held up Casey and used him as a shield. Later the Italians reached shore at a point lower down the river, and, after binding and gagging Ca- sey, left him in a fleld badly wounded. He worked himself loose and made s way to Lolota. He was arrested there to- night on complaint of one of the Ital- ians. Another American known as French was wounded in the stomach and is in a serious condition. Two others wers ar- rested near the scene of the trouble. Four Italians have been treated for gunshot wounds, making a total of six men wounded in the fight. Feeling is running high to-night and it is believed more serfous trouble will follow and thers is talk of calling upon the county authori- ties for aid. —_———— WITNESS TO FLIRTATION GIVES HIS TESTIMONY Fails, However, to Materially Strengthen the Claims of Mrs. Mary Leafgreen.
