Horton's discoyery in this in- stance is in addition to alleged over- charges made by the firm of Brown & Power for license blanks, amounting | to nearly $1000, the evidence of which | is now in the hands of the Mayor. who | will ask the Grand Jury to investigate | the Irregularities. | Horton has unearthed three demands | for license pads, two of which he says | should never have been paid, because they were not itemized. and there is | nothing to show that the blanks were delivered to the eity. The two demands questioned by Hor- ton are respectively for $1 drawn in favor of Phillips. Smyth & Van | for 541 pads of license blanks, | date of July 1. 1904, and for | » for 556 additional books of li- e blanks drawn in favor of Brown Power, the firm that succeeded to | contract, under date of January 14, Horton thinks the city was | mulcted to the tune of $399 22, the com- | bined sum of the’two demands. | Horton draws his conclusion that | demands should not have been | paid, because a demand under date of July 1, 1904, for $37250 for 1009 books | of lice pads was paid first, and the mands were in the nature of | mu ys that the fact that there | are but 800 books of license pads used | in the various city departments would n double the amount actually used. The three demands called for more than 2000 books, which Horton consid- Horton will forward the three de- mands to the Mayor with a letter ex- plaining what he regards as an irreg- with & view to having the en- | tire matter of overcharges by printing | firms doing business with the city probed to the bottom. ——— Promote the secretions of the urine and renew: the enervated kidneys by —_——— Whitmarsh Pleads Guilty.

J. LE CONTE REPORTS Assistant U. S. Engineer Finds That Encroachments on South Wall Are Lawful As foretold in The Call, the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads came to an agreement yesterday after- 4 noon upon the subject of letting the Gov- | ernment dredging go on. The injunctions will be modified Monday so as to allow the American Dredging Company to re- sume the work stopped so peremptorily when the rival companies first clashed. The basis of the agreement is that neither party will take .advantage of whatever benefit might result from the work—that is, the American Dredging Company will continue to dredge, as it was doing and planned doing, and the spoils will be deposited in the places where it was depositing them and intend- ed to deposit them. But by express stip- ulation between the two railroads none of the land so made can be taken advantage of by either. It must be remembered that the dredging and filling was protested against by the Southern Pacific, which claimed that the deposit of the spoils was made where it would benefit the ‘Western Pacific most. The filling was, in fact, adding to the strip of land north of the jetty, of which the Western Pacific had taken posession by laying its tracks. Now the filling will go on, and whichever railroad wins in the courts willfind at the end of the litigation its pier almost bullt for it by Uncle Sam’s kindly activity. I. J. Le Conte, assistant United States engineer, who had been chamged by Colonel Heuer to visit the south training wall and see if the Southern Pacific was encroaching upon it, reported to his chief yesterday. Colonel Heuer says that there are no encroachments of any importance upon the wall. Those that do exist con- sist of a spur track 800 feet long at the end of the mole, which is laid over the foundation of the wall. The spur is util- ized to unload granite blocks which rein- force the wall at that point, and the work, Colonel Heuer says, ls necessary and legitimate. » “Several ~years ago,” sald Colonel Heuer, “the Southern Pacific asked per- mission of the War Department to rein- force the jetty at its outer end. The per- mission was granted, the work being to the advantage of the Federal Government as well as of the railroad, and a wooden bulkhead was put in. This wooden con- struction has rotted by this time and the Southern Pacific is replacing it with gran- ite blocks. The spur of track was lald to facilitate the bringing of the material, and will be taken off when the work is ended. I have no objection to this.” The great legal fight between the two roads begin in earnest with the hearing of the Injunctions by Circuit Court Judge W. W. Morrow to-morrow. ——————— POLICEMEN STRIVE TO MAKE ENTERTAINMENT A SUCCESS Concert d Ball to Be Given to Re- plenish Treasury for Widows : and Orphams. A concert and ball will be held at the Mechanics’' Pavilion on the night of February 20 under the auspices of -the officers of the Widows' and Orphamns’ Aid Association of the Police Depart- ment., Tickets may be procured from any patrolman on the street for the sum of $1 each, which admits the bearer to both concert and ball. The organization was formed on Jan- uary 18, 1878, for the purpose of pro- viding a fund out of which the sum of $1100 would be paid to the widow and children of a deceased member. During the last year there have been twenty deaths among the membership, causing such a drain on the treasury that it has become apparent to all that there must be some provision made to replenish the funds. After deliberation the officers have decided to give the entertainment on the night of February 20 and there is every promise of its be- ing a marked success. Chief Dinan and Captain J. J. Bur- nett are exerting every personal effort toward making the affair successful and in fact every member of the de- partment is working hard with the same object in view. The Board of Police Commissioners has given its sanction and the members are doing everything to promote its success. ——e——————— HEIRS ASSERT THAT WEDEL ‘WAS UNDULY INFLUENCED Institute Action in Superior Court to Cancel Deeds Held by Albert and Marle Sayers. Charging 'that Albert and Marie Sayers took advantage of the weak mental condition of the late Gustave Wedel and unduly influenced him to deed to them a lot on Capp strect, near Twenty-fourth, and another on Devisa- dero street, near Post, John Wedel and Babette Eitel, children of the deceased, and Margarethe Bartman and Henry H. Davis, executors of his will, filed suit yesterday to compel the defendants to deliver up the deeds for cancellation. Gustave Wedel died on December 10 last from dropsy and heart disease. For many months before his death, al- lege the plaintiffs, he was very weak physically and also mentally afrected. On September 19 he executed the deeds giving the defendants the property in litigation and it is now charged that this was not his own voluntary act, but that the defendants worked upon his mind until he was unable longer to resist their importunities and gave them his realty. ——e————— Druids’ Memorial Service. At the meeting of delegates from all the local groves and circles of the United Anclent Order of Druids, the chapter branch of the organization and the Association of Past Noble Arches, held last cvening in the Druids’ Hall on Sutter street, all arrangements for the memorial service in respect to the memory of the members who have passed away in the past year were completed. The service will be held on she afternoon of February 18 in Na- tive Sons’ Hall, when there will be of- fered an order of exercises that will include instrvrental music, vocal selec- tions by quartet and solois an ora- tion, eulogies and an .address appro- priate to the occasion. The chairman of the general committee that has this matter in charge is Past Arch Walter Gallagher and John Koch is the secre- tary. It is ‘expected that the service this year will surpass anything in that line by this order in the past. e . Native Sons’ Ball % ‘Walter W. Walsh, George C. Fraser, Bdward J. Lynch, Frank D.
