L. Mann, principal of the Denman | School, told of the organization effected | among the teache with the principal | object In view of getting an increase in | salaries. | Joseph O'Connor, principal of the Mis- sion High Bchool, stated that there are | 1343 teachers, including substitutes, in the department, and last year they each re- celved an average salary of $79.08. The | sum of $1,275,300 was appropriated for sal- aries, and the requested 15 per cent in- crease would mean an average salary of | 882, O’Connor said that the cost of living in this city has increased by more than 15 per cent and that salaries should be correspondingly raised. O’Connor said it was proposed to appeal to the Mayor and the Supervisors to make the necessary in- crease in the salary appropriation. A tax of 3 mills would yleld $1,5%,000, and this | sum would be sufficient to put the salary raise in effect. \ | Mrs. Mary Prag, vice principal of the Girle' High School, told of the graduated raise In the salaries of teachers in New York, which range from $600 to $1240, $936 to $1440 and $1500 to $3400 per annum, ac- cording to grade and experience. | Miss Julia Coffey of the Hamilton Schoel gave some figures relative to the increased cost of all commodities and the fact that salaries are at a standstill. | _President Altmann said that the School Board would confer with the Board of Supervisors and urge an increase in the appropriation. Superintendent Roncovieri indorsed all the arguments presented for an increase in salarfes, but sald that the question in- volved is one of finance. “If the dollar limit of the charter is in- adequate to run the municipal govern- ment,” said Roncovieri, “‘do not blame us if we are not given a sufficient appropria- tion. This year we received 14 cents of the tax levy from the city for schools, while the Police Department received nearly 20 cents. Under the new law the income of the Schoo! Department from the State will be sensibly diminished. It wiil be to the interest of teachers to work for proposed charter amendments to be submitted to the people at the next elec- tion whereby the Board of Supervisors will be compelled to allow the schools suf- ficlent funds.” | —_————— UNITED STATES OFFICIAL TALKS ON CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT iAI'rfd Black Tells Berean Soclety of | Domgers That Would Follow Récep- | tion of Oriental Laborers. | Alfred P. Black, First Assistant United States Attorney, spoke at Berean Society monthly meeting at Cal- vary Presbyterian Church last night on The Necessity of Excluding Chinese Laborers.” One reason forthe neces- | sity he gave was the danger of an- | other race problem similar in gravity to the negro problem, which, he said, has. grown to be one black face to | every seven -of the population of the | Unitea States. | Another reason for exclusion was the resultant lowering of wages of the white_race if brought into competition with the hordes of cheap labor China. from He held that it is only by a high standard of wages and y comforts that this country will | be enabled to fulfill its high destiny among the great nations of the earth. | Ame could not afford to put her people in competition with a race that for thousands of years had been trained to do the greatest possible amount of work for the least possible remunera- tion.

The action instituted by the Union | Limber Company to enjoin the Build- | ing Trades Council from continuing an alleged boycott against the plaintift and to recover $100,000 damages went | to -trial before Superior Judge John Hosmer yesterday. | About two years ago, says the plain- tiff, it declared for an open ghop, { ! | i | | and allied labor -organizations insti- tuted a boycott and caused mill owners | and contractors to refuse to deal in the | plaintiff’s lumber. ‘This action, it is as- | serted, resuited in great loss to the | plaintif. The plaintiff lumber company is rep- résented by Bush Finnell, counsel for | the Citizens’ Alliance, while John Part- | ridge, Stephen L. Dam, Francis V. Kees- ling and others are caring for the in- terests of the defendant. The opening | statements and argument on legal | points occupied most of ‘the time of | yesterday's sessions. Further hearing will be had this-morning. —_———— Bell Murder Trial Commences. The trial of Jokn A. Logan Bell on a charge of murder was commenced yes- terday before a jury in Judge Lawlor's | court. The defendant is represented by’ Attorneys Morehouse and Low, and As- sistant District Attorney O'Gara is con- Gucting the prosecution. Bell shot and killed his stepfather, Joseph Bartlett. on Sunday morning, August 6. Bartlett was abusing his wife in their home on Fulton street, near Gough, and‘Bell in- terfered to protect her. It is claimed that Bartlett rushed at Bell with an ax, ana Bell seized a parlor rifle and shot him dead. A plea of self-defense will be made. ————————— Held for Broaching Cargo. United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday dismissed the charge against Alfredo Perez, and held George Holtz to | answer before the Grand Jury for broaching cago on board the steamship Slerra on March 6. The defendants were coal passers on the steamer, and | it was charged that they stole six dozen quarts of beer from the ship's store- room. After some of the beer had been missed a watch was set and Holtz was detected in the act of tinkering with the lock of the storeroom, whith had been broken previously. ARRESTED AT SAN QUENTIN.—James J. Franklin was arrested yesterday morning by Detectives Regan and O'Conmell as he was leaving San' Quentin after serving a term of cighteen months for forgery.

CAUSE OF ACT NOT DISCLOSED Stage of California Theater Scene of Attack. VICTIM LOSES POSITION ALSO BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. Of the many merry-merry maidens forming the chorus in “The Avenue Girls” last week at the California Theater there were none who sang more cheerily or danced with greater aban- don than Lotta Willlams and Frances Doyle, and so palpably sincere were the smiles they exchanged while tripping and chanting “La-la, la-la, la-la,” that the sparse-haired patrons ~in the front rows of the parquet naturally opined they were “chums.” On the seamy side of the * drop,” how- 5 Ex 5 ever, Ao such impression existed. Every man and woman there employed knew that Lotta and Frances were avowed enemies, each scorning the other with all the rancor a‘tainable by feminjne persons of incompatible .tastes and habits who are compelled by expediency to assume appearance of friendship. Chums, indeed! No*hing could be further from the relationship existing between Lotta and Frances. In the lexicon of the chorus lady the verb “to chuth” possesses deeper and more sacred significance than pertains to it even in scheolgirl life. It means a candid swapping of “pasts” and ambi- tions and hopes, a cheerful sharing of living apartment and dressing room ac- commodations, & mutual dipping in the same “make-up” box, an instant readi- ess to fight each other’s battles with- | out inquiring as to the right or wrong thereof. That's chumming, as defined and practiced in the profession. What antagonism means In the same walk of life may be inferred from the fact that Frances displayed to Police Judge Shortall a bare spot on the left side of her head and alleged that the denudation was deliberately accomp- lished by Lotta last Saturday evening, while the performance was on at the California. “I was In the dressing room, making up and talking to my chum.” said Frances, “when there came-a rap at the door, and 1, partly costumed, opered it. There stood Lotta, as drunk as they make 'em, and she) just grabbed my hair and yanked me outside, where the men performers were walking up and down, waiting to go on. Did I tell you I wasn’t more’n half dressed? Well, with all those men there you may guess how humiliated I felt. She kept on pulling = and saying things that I wouldn't repeat for worlds until my hair gave way, and then some®of the men’ got- between- us. “The cause of her attack? I'm sure I don’t knew what it was.. But I'm not going to’ deny that I never liked the girl. She can't say, however, that I ever talked about her. I guess I know enough to hold my tongue, no matter what I.see or think. “It's a funny thing, though, that George Hale, the manager, came and fired me from the company just after Lotta had hauled me all over the place. You may think what you like a2bout it. I'm saying nothing. If there is law enough in this town to punish her for battery, that's all I want. I'm strand- €d here without enough money to pay a week’'s board. The company jumps out tonight for Salt Lake, and I'd like to arrested before the train starts.” s Lotta was arrested, and this morning her side of the story will be unfplded. » SR Signora Delfino Delgardo, whose avoir- dupols exceeds the 200-pound point, went from her home, 370 Brannan street, to the dwelling place of Sigrora Trinidad Azai- mega, 1014 Powell street, and there de- manded instant payment of $75 which she alipged was owed her by the latter lady, who couldn’t tip the beam with 120 pounds on the opposite scale. The claim of in- debtedness was disputed. and in the en- suing encounter Signora Delgardo, to the surprise of all beholders and probably to ker own astonishment, lost even more hair than she plucked from the cranium of her slim antagonist. In the clinch. however, Signora Delgardo's superfor welght told, and Signora Azalmega w: being squashed when the bystanders stopped the conflict. Judge Conlan heard some of the testi- mony yesterday and has set next Satur- day as the date for hearing fourteen more witnesses. Judge Shortall has about decided to send 16-year-old Lena Marsicano, an extremely pretty girl, to a reformatory institution. She was employed as a domest!i: at 1467 Geary street, when her waywardness pro- voked her employer to-iutorm the police, and when questioned by the J she re- vealed a mind disproportionately imma- ture.

BOARD CARRIES |LOW FARE BILL [PUT FRANCHISE, 1S INTRCOUCED|- UP - OUT PROCRANNE Supervisors - Reject Lower Bid, That of Bulletin, to Do the Official Printing POST . GETS - CONTRACT Awaid Is Made at a Figure Which Will Cost the City Extra Amount of $25,000 The Board -of Supervisors yesterday carried out fts programme previously agreed upon by the joint printing and finance committee by adopting a resolu- tion rejecting ‘the bid of the Bulletin to do ‘the officlal advertising for 24 cents a square and awarded the contract to the Post at 35 cents per square. The lower bid of the Bulletin was rejected on the pretext that the paper named is not a responsible bidder because it had in 1901 entered into a corrupt compact with the Post to defraud the city on the advertis- ing contract of that year and had re- celved from the Post $6021 to refrain from bidding. . The . difference in the two prices bid Will cost the city at least $25,000 more than the advertising would cost undet the Bulletin's bid. The. joint/ committee on printing and finance filed a report covering the history of its two meetings at which R. A. Crothers, proprietor of:the Bulletin, had refused to appear with his books. The committee recommended the rejection of the Bulletin's' bid on the grounds ‘‘that through the failure of Crothers to appear it has been withdrawn ‘and abandoned and that the Bulletin is not a responsible bidder for the following reasons: ‘Proven dishonesty and corruption in the matter of the ‘printing steal of 1%1:-bad faith in the presentation of its bid." The report of the committee was adopt- ed and ordered spread upon thé minutes. Supervisor Rea rose to a question of per- sonal privilege and holding a number of editorials recently printed in the Bulletin in his hand ‘branded the statements con- tained therein and reflecting on the Su- peryisors _as lles. ' Rea became consid- erably excited during the course of his rerarks and . called Crothers a number of hard names, such as “liar,” ‘“'sneak- thief,” ‘‘moral leper” and *‘blackmailer.” Rea produced a certified check for $500 and said dramatically: “If Mr. Crothers will cogie here with his books I will forfeit this check to him if I fail to prove him a thfet.” Rea handed the check to the Mayor, whom he asked to keep it in trust. Supervisor Phillips, who is employed by the Post, denled the charge made by Crothers that the journal has not a bona fide circulation of 3000, saying that it has at no time been less than that number. The charges made by Crothers question- ing the solvency and responsibility of the Post were not gone into. “SCOTTY” CONTINUES FIGHT FOR LIBERTY Death Valley Miner and Actor Is Remanded and Again Released. ‘Walter Scott, the Death Valley miner and actor, had an experience in two Superior Courts yesterday. In the morning he appeared in Judge Gra- ham’s court on his application for a writ.of habeas corpus for his release from custody. The Judge denied the writ and the prisoner was remanded. Scott was taken to the City Prison | by Detective Riordan, but was accorded the privilege of not being locked up in | a cell. Meantime Attorney Greeley made application for another writ which was made returnable before Judge Dunne. “The application is made on the grounds that the -warrant is- sued by C. L. Thomas, Justice-of the Peace at San Bernardino for Scott's ar- rest on'a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, was void because it failed to shéw that Thomas when he signed the warrant was acting as a magistrate, that 'the description of Scott ‘was defective and ball was denled. Scott was taken before Judge Dunne | and by consent the argument was con- tinued ‘ till Thursday morning. The Judge made an order releasing Scotton $1000 bonds or $500 cash. In a few minutes the bonds were forthcoming and Scott was relefsed. 4 Oscar Lazansky, charged with em- beazlement by the Richardson-Bruning Company, was released on a writ by Judge Graham.
