They met yesterday and con- ferred over their plans as members of the Lumber Producers' Association. Club- rooms have been engaged and are being preparcd for occupation. The site selected is on the corner of California and Battery | streets, which is convenient to the head- quarters of all the lumber companies and also to the offices of the shipping houses whose business is closely related to the lumbering industry, and also within two blocks of the Merchants' Exchange. An entire floor has been leased, to be fitted up handsomely for the lumbermen’s ac- | commedation. After some talk it was decided that the formal opening of the rooms of the Lum- ber Producers’ Association should take place on April 15. "Appropriate exercises will mark the occasion. All the redwood lumbermen and white pine lumbermen will be Interested, for the association rep- resents both branches of the great indus- try, and the property roll of the member- ship represents many millions of dollars. Recently the association was incorporated. Its purposes were stated to be the pro- motion of the interests of the members and the extension of friendly relations among them. The full board of officers has not been elected. The temporary president of the association is W. H. Tal- bot. The mecting of vesterday was the first since the Incorporation. ORDERS DISTRIBUTION OF THE SUTRO REALTY Judge Coffey Grants Peti- tion of Children of De- ceased. So far as the Superior Court is con- cerned the litigation involving the vast estate of the late Adolph Sutro is nearing the end. A great step was taken yester- day when Probate Judge Coffey directed that the petition of XKate Nussbaum, Rosa V. Morblo and Clara A. English, and of these heirs together with John C. Brick- ell as assignee of the interests of Edgar E. Butro, for distribution to them of four- sixths of the realty of the estate be granted. . This. realty includes the many acres of so-called outside lands over which the de-’ ceased sought to create a trust, a portion of the income of which was to be de- voted to'charifable and another portion to sclentific purposes. In a subsequent ac- tion the court held that the trust clause was Invalid, not being created solely for charitable purposes and.thus violated.the constitutional . provisions against per- petuities. In his decision yesterday Judge Coffey holds that this prior decision is binding upon the court in the matter of the petition for partial distribution, and after again declaring that the trust pro- visions of decedent’s will are null and’ vold directs that the prayer of the peti- tioners for partial distribution be granted. The remaining two-thirds of decedent’s estate go to Mrs. Emma L. Merritt and Charles W. Sutro, all .of the claimants with the exception of Brickell being chil- dren of the deceased. ————— HEAD OF FAMILY BEATEN.—Den Keefe, a laborer living at 1508 Kentug street and 63 years of age, called at the Po- trero_poiice station on Thursday ni toia Tlliceman William Quintan that he pog been beaten on the heed by his wife and family. took him ‘o the Potrero Emergen . where a cut on his head was stitched and dressed and he went back Séc.

CITIES ACQUIRE RESPONSIBILITY Supreme Court Says Public Ownership of Utilities | Adds a Financial Burden S T California municipalities are financially responsible fof the acts of their em- ployes when the public corporations are engaged in private enterprises, accord- ing to a decision rendered by the Su- preme Court yesterday. This means that a hitherto unsuspected burden will be | placed upon cities when they undertake to own and operate public utilities. The line which six of the Justices draw ,in ness may cause great difficulty here- after in the view of the remaining mem- ber of the tribunal. The point was raised in a suit brought by Martial Davoust against the city of Alameda. The piaintiff’s wife was killed by coming in contact with a live wire belonging to the municipal lighting plant. The lower court granted a nonsuit and Davoust appealed. The defense cites nu- merous instances where the State courts bave held that municipalities are not re- sponsible for damages resulting through the negligence of city employes. In this cennection Justice McFarland, who writes the opinion, says: These cases undoubtedly establish the ruls in this State, although it has been held dif- ferently in some ofher jurisdictions, that a municipal corporation when exercising gov- ernmental functions as an agent of the sover- cign_power is not liable for damages caused by the negligence of its employes, unless it is expressly so made liable by statute. But this rule applies to a municipal corporation only when acting in its governmental, politics public capacity as an instrumentality Int-usted by the State with the subordinate control of scme public affair. Such a corporation, how- ever, has a double character—governmental and also proprietary and private—and when actin in the latter capacity its liabilities arising ouf of elther contract or tort are the same as those of patural persons or private corporations. stices Angellotti, Henshaw, Sloss, Lorigan and Chief Justice Beatty concur directly with Justice McFarland. Justice Shaw concurs In the general opinion, but thinks the special private functions in question should be specified in the laws that confusion may not arise from the raising of other points unforeseen at pres- ent. To those who are familiar with the man- ner in which juries are wont to sympa- thize with the injured individual in dam- age suits against the eity it will be evi- dent that the number of such contests which would be instituted where the mu- nicipality controlled all its public utilities would crowd the courts beyond their pres- ent capacity, while the steps of the City Hall would be worn thin by the feet of the men with “Internal injuries” and ‘“shat- tered nervous systems.” —————————— NO FLASH TEST REQUIRED FOR PETROLEUM AS FUEL Anclent Order Concerning Ofl Used in Ships’ Lamps Is Extended to Small Craft. A misapprehension seems to exist with reference to a recent order of the Department of Commerce and Labor on the subject of the flash test of oil used as ships’ stores—in other words for use in lamps on shipboard for lighting pur- Lpoae- only. The recent order extends the requirements of the flash test of 300 degrees for such oil to yachts. Here- tofore the law did not prescribe any flash test whatever for oil used in lamps on board small craft. The flash test requirement of 300 degrees on oil used for flluminating purposes in lamps on board of steamers and sailing vessels has been in operation for the twenty years. There is no flash test r quirement whatever for oil used as fuel or for power. u When your liver Is inactive, when you are dull and drowsy by day and restless at night, take Lash’s Bitters. . distinguishing public from private busi- | | TOLD N COURT Mrs. Jennie Jacobs Must Disgorge Money Withheld From Husband’s Creditors JURY AGAINST HER Manipulations Exposed by Which Oakland Merchant Defrauded His Creditors Four thousand one hundred dollars is the sum that a jury in the United States District Court yesterday after- noon decided that Mrs. Jennie Jacobs should pay over to M. L. Cahn, trustee of the estatc of A. Jacobs, bankrupt, on the ground that the assignment of that sum to her by her husband was a fraud upon the creditors. Jacobs and his wife, under the firm name of A. Jacobs & Co., operated a merchant tailoring and.men’s furnish- ing goods establishment. in Oakland, doing a good business that .warranted the payment of a monthly rental of $300 for the store. The comblaint recites that on March 31, 1903, creditors filed a petition in the United States Distrigt Court asking that Jacobs be declared an involuntary insolvent. Ubdon the hearing of the preliminary matter be- fore the Board of Trade Jacobs stated that he was indebted to his wife in the sum of $6000 and that he had given her his promissory note for that amount. In the trial before Judge de Haven and the jury Mrs. Jacobs was unable to produce the note or any other note for money. due her by her husband. The complaint alleges that Jaeobs, while in- solvent, assigned to his wife book ac- counts of the value of $3000 and money, making a total of $8100, with intent to defraud his creditors. In the trial Mrs. Jacobs stated that her father, 8. H. Cohen, who earned his lving by pressing pantaloons and re- pairing clothing, had advanced her from time to time several thousand dol- lars, which she gave her husband, to use in his business. In order to repay to the old man these advances Jacobs gave his ledger, containing $3000 of beok accounts, to his wife, who In turn gave it to hér father. He dled after collecting $600, according to her story, and left no estate ner papers. The ledger and other books had disap- peared. Evidence was introduced tending to show that one month before his bank- ruptey and the levying of the attach- ment upon his business Jacobs with- drew from his deposit in a savings bank $2100, which he'gave his wife to pay an indebtedness on some real estate and improvements, which she claimed as her separate property. It was also testified to that Jacobs pald to his wife $40 per month rental for their home, which she claimed as her separate estaté, which sum she im- mediately handed him back and that he deposited the money in his own name in the bank. Before the refere~ in bankruptey Ja- cobs swore that the proceeds of a four weeks' spéclal bargain sale, amount- ing to about $175 per day, had beefn fe- tained by his wife. At theé trial in the United States District Court Mrs. Ja- cobs testified that she collected the pro- ceeds of the sale and turned them over to her husband. TENNEBAUM'S FATHER ASKS FOR BIG DAMAGES Sues Men He Holds Respon- ible for His. Son’s Death. Two scandals, the outgrowth of pugi- lism’'s growth in San Francisco, have been carried to the Superior Court for settle- ment. In gne—the most imporiant case— I Tennebaum, father'of Harry I. Tenne- baum, who was beaten to death by Frankie Neil in a contest on.February 28 last, secks $100,000 damages for the loss of his son. As defendants in"the action he joins the stockhglders of the Assoclated Athletic Clubs, who are James W. Coffroth, Morris Levy, Edward Graney, William Britt, Frank J. Neil, Frank Connplly, Timothy McGrath, fWilliam. Roche, Thom- ds Hyland, James Curtin and James Nell, In his complaint Tennebaum makes the allegation that on the niglit of ‘the contest “the defendants legally assaulted, beat and injured Harry I. TenneBaum, with the result that he dled fi " his injuries the following day, March L% - Attorney Charles G. Nagle. who repre- sents Tennebaum, says that the dead lad's father intends to prosecute his action against the fight promoters, both civilly and criminally. His setback in the Police Court has not stayed his determination to secure justice, and so long as a remedy lies in his hands he is not going to quit. In the second action involving the “fight trust”” filed yesterday Philip 8. O'Mara, who is represented by Sullivan & Sullivan and Theodore J. Roche, asks judgment against the Mechanics’ Institute for $5000 damages. O'Mara was proprietor of the ekating rink at Mechanics’ Pavilion. but in his lease it was provided that if any boxing contests should ‘be arranged he would surrender, the building for one night upon the return of $0 rent, three weeks" notice to be given him. For the alleged |. purpose of annoying and harassing him. O’Mara says that the institute notified him that it would require the building on the night of January 31 for a boxing con- test, and as a result he handed over:the building.. When the fight came off, says O'Mara, it was plain to be seen that it was.a fake contest got up solely for the purpose ‘of shutting him out of the Pa- villon and lessening his profits. The fight, he says, lasted hut a few minutes and was not legitimate in ‘any sense. The attorneys representing O’Mara as- sert that James W. Coffroth was behind the scheme to -annoy O'Mara, and ‘suc- ceeded even beyond his expectations. ——————— : REDEEMED WOMAN’S RINGS, “ BUT NOW WANTS HIS MONEY Tonopah Mining Man Demands Sum: He ‘Paid to Get Miss Adams’ Dinmonds Out of Pawn. Justice of the Peace Van Nostrand yesterday took the testimony of May Adams, who is defendant’'in a suit for the recovery of $114.30 brought by John Van Winkle, a Tonopah ‘mining man. Van Winkle makes the allegation that Miss Adams had three diamond rings in pawn when he first met her and that he redeemed them on condition that he might have ‘one. He, alleges - that the defendant refuses to give him either a ring or the money. Miss Agams’ de- fense is that he ,voluntarily redeemed the rings and handed them to her and understood at the time that she could not pay him the money. . - % Van Winkle's testimony, was . given seyeral days ago and he is now out of the city. He admits-getting the thres rings and giving them up, but says he expected one back. Miss Adams claims that he forcibly took one of the rings from her finger and it was not until a patrolman was called that he gave it back. Judge Van Nostrand ‘reserved judgment. e e ————— 2 - Murine ;Eye: Remedy—An .Eye Food.

Before the meeting had proceeded very far the commitiee expressed a doubt as to ‘the legality of the ordinance and the right of the Supervisors to reduce fares on_gtreet cars at all. Supervisor Wilson held that. the board has no right to legislate relative to the requirement that the transfer privileges now given by the ccmpany shall not be abolished if the fare Is reduced. Super- visor Gallagher agreed with Wilson and sald there were several clauses in the proposed - ordinance that are invalld. Gallagher sald the main question to be decided is whether the board has the power to reduce street car fares, as the point involved the rights and Interests of the street- railway corporations. Gal- lagher coid the representatives of the companies should be granted a hearing on the matter. Supervisor Duffey, who introduced the ordinance, objected to any delay and sald the ordinance had been drawn up in the City Attorney’s otfice and he was satis- fied that it is legal. Gallagher expressed teurprise that the crdinance had been de- clared legal by the City Attorney, as he had previously stated that “it was, to say the least, inartistically drawn.” Supervisor Coleman questioned the va- lidity of the clause requiring the com- pany te sell beoks of twenty tickets at the reduced rate. “I do mot want to recommend an ordi- nance the legality of which I am in doubt about,” said Wilson, “‘and I do not think Duffey admitted that he had not read the franchises under which the company operated. Gallagher said that while he agreed that there might be some reason for reducing fares it must be first deter- piined if the Supervisors have the neces- sary power before invoiying the city in Iltigation and possibly deprive the citi- zens of the transfer privileges they are now enjoying. Gallagher said if the Su- pervisors have the power to reduce the fure for a few hours they have the right to do so for all day. “The: City Attorney has told me that this ardinance is legal,” said Duffey. I am satisfied that the City Attorney wrong,” said Gallagher, “‘and 1 would Hke to see his authorities on the posi- tion he takes."” “He will not show you his authorities, s ho does not wish to expose them,” said Duftey. Gallagher said that in 1893 his investi- gations had developed that the franchises gave the corporations the right to charge to five cents for a fare, but that there are other ways to compel the corpora- tions to give better service than by re- ducing the fare, The committee set next Monday at 2:30 p. m. as the time for hearing the City Attorney and the officials of the street rafltoads on the merits of the ordinance. —ee———— POLICE SEARCHING % FOR JOHN E. SEXTON Trusted Henchman of Late -Collis P. Huntington Is Again in Trouble. John E. Sextop, the trusted henchman of the late Collis P.. Huntington and di- rector in the great A. R. U. strike at Oakland about twelve years ago, is want- ed by the police on a charge of obtaln- ing money by faise pretenses. C. w.

In 1884, when he was about 17 years of age, he was sentenced in the Federal courts to serve twenty months in the House of Correction for holding mgll piatter. In 1894 while awaiting his trial in the Alameda County Jail for passing worthless checks he refused to be balled out and directed the work against the strikers from the jail, where he lived like a prince. In 1408 Sexton was sent to Folsom pen- jtentlary from El1 Dorado County on a charge of extortion. He was released on a writ of habeas corpus in February, 194, but the writ was later denied by the Su- he was discharged and restored 10 citi- zenship. —_—————— GRAHAM DRAWS PANEL FOR NEW GRAND JURY Names of Thirty Citizens Are Selected, From Which Body of Nineteen : Wil Be Named.

His plans will be begun at once, and their completion will [re;fl{ benefit both Alas- nd the United States. uR:sen; will go north in a few days and begin the construction of the Valdez and ‘Copper River Rallroad. This line will start at the seaport town of Valdez and run up the Copper River to the interior city of Fairbanks, a place that even with the wretched transportation facilities *it now has has attained considerable growth be- cause of the wealth of the mineral genol- {ts surrounding it. Along the Copper River are vast copper deposits, 3s yet barely touched cause of the lack of transportation facilities. It will take many months to finish this long line, but Rosene intends to puild it substantially, | so that trains may run during summ E ter. ‘.‘lgn:e‘:e also has another railway, the immediate construction of which he an- nounced yesterday.
