Nine local capitalists are behind the enterprise, and have already flled articles of in- corporation. Work will be begun on the building Immediately: The incaorpor~ ators are. Ignatz Steinhart, Mortimer Fleishhacker, Herbert Fleishhacker, Johi: Breuner, Joseph Chanslor, Lieu- tenant Governor Alden Anderson, Mark L. Gerstle, George Peltier and Frank | ¥. Buck. | The new opera-house will be located | on Post street, near Powell. The cost | of the building and the land will be in | the neighborhood of $800,000. The in- vestors have perfect confidence that the owth of the city will make the in- | vestment an excellent one from a finan- i cial standpoint. Charles W. Strine, who is at present \manag!ng’ the Conried opera season here, has already been selected as man- ager of the new playhouse. Strine's name has been a synonym for success- ful theatrical management ever since he brought Melba to the coast. He is in constant touch with Eastern mana- ger,s and is probably better known in | the tern theatrical market than any manager here. The new theater will be built of gray granite and white marble. It will have | 2 seating capacity of mnearly 3000. | There will be three gallerles. The in- terior furnishings will be the richest that can be had. A new opera-house has been talked of for some time, but nothing definite was done toward building one. A few days after the Xubelik bancuet, where the necessity of a modern opera-house was discussed, Ignatz Steinhart met the others who are with him in the enterprise, and they determined that the new theater should be built. Charles W. Strine, the manager of the new theater, said yesterday: “I cannot say whether we will have opera all the year round, but you can rest assured that we will have the best at- | tractlons that can be gotten anywhere. There is no reason why San Francisco should not have the best. We will give them the best. 1 —_———e————— SNEAK THIEVES AND BURGLARS CONTINUE THEIR OPERATIONS Police Receive Reports From Different Parts of the City, Detall- ing Losses.

Edward Palmer reported that his sa- loon at 729 Davis street was entered by | forcing open the rear door. Two nick- el-in-the-slot machines, valued at $100, were broken almost to pleces, but nothing seemed to have been stolen.

M. Foote Made the Defendant in an Action for Diverce Instituted | Yesterday. | M. M. Foote, attorney at law, was made the defendant in an action for 4i- | vorce filed yesterday by his wife, Jose- | phine. Cruelty is the charge and the | complaint includes specific allegations | of physical violence and mental tor- | ture. Further allegations are made that the defendant has failed to provide for her and has deseried the plaintiff. The parties were married March 10, 1894. Suits for divorce were also filed by i.\'e]lle E. against Elmo A, Arnold for desertion, Ada C. agalnst Raymond 8. Blankinship for cruelty, Kate F. agalinst George F. Sullivan for cruelty and Bertha against Carl Rossbach for cruelty. —————— Attorneys Must Explain. Members of the law firm of Stoddard & Halpin have been cited by Judge Gra- ham to explain how it was that the complaint headed “Swea vs. Swca'" came to be changed to “Swear vs. Swear,” the true names of the parties involved, after the complaint had been filed. The habit of some lawyers of changing documents after they have been filed has caused so much confusion in the office of the County Clerk that an effort will be made {o put a stop to the practice, the citation against Stoddard & Halpin be- | ing the first of several in view. ———— On the day that you make your first | purchaso of real estate you become fm- | portant to the city and the city becomes mportant to you.

A writ of attachment was served yesterday on F. Mitzler, owner of a saloon at the corner of Turk and Taylor streets, at the instance ‘of the San Francisco Brewerles, Limited, which holds a claim against him for $15,000. The corporation alleges that Mitzler en- tered into a contract to take its beer, but that he falled to keep the con- ASSERTS BUARD CAN LOWER FARE Burke Advises Supervisors That They Have Power to Make Three - Cent Rate DECISIQNS ARE CITED Official Says Municipality Is Not Bound by Contract City Attorney Burke yesterday filed a brief with the Board of Supervisors to show that the board named has the power to fix a fare of 3 cents to be charged pas- sengers on street car lines. The brief is in reply to one filed by Tirey L. Ford, gen- eral counsel of the United Raflroads, to the effect that the franchise granted to the street rallroad companies was in the nature of a contract, which could not be impaired by any act of the municipality. Burke cites several decisions to show that the Board of Supervisors has the power to lower fares and that the charter gives the board the power to do so. Burke holds that the city never had an agreement with the original grantees of the franchises giving the latter the right to charge 5 cents for each passenger. The Supervisors did not then have the power to do so, he asserts, and the city is not bound by any contract that the fares shall not be reduced below § cents. The brief continues: “The power to regulate street railroads and to fix the rates of fare is inherent in the State. That power has been delegated to this city and county by its present charter. Neither the State nor the city has ever renounced or surrendered this | power, by contract, agreement or other- wise. The statutes of the State fixing the rate of fares at ‘not to exceed b cents’ merely established a maximum price and was a limitation upon the railroads, nét upon the power of the State or clty to re- duce the price. “A llke provision in the franchise was but a reiteration of the State statutes. The city had been given at that date no authority to fix a rate, nor did it attempt to do so. Any action on its part In this behalf would have been nugatory. And, finally, any exemption of immunity from the right of the city or State to reduce the rate below § cents cannot be asserted or claimed by any assignee or purchaser | of the franchises, such immunities or ex- | emptions being personal to the original grantees. | “The sovereign right of the people | through their legislative bodies to control and regulate all forms of business which | are affected with a public interest, and particularly those which are conducted by corporations which have their existence solely by the authority and permission of the State, is the last remaining safeguard against oppression and extortion, and this protection should not be frittered away by speclous argument or technical construc- tlons.” SRR BABY SKATER ENTERTAINS THOUSANDS AT NEW RINK Little Miss Franks and Her Father, Fancy Performers, Draw Large Crowds to Central Park. Professor Franks and his baby daughter continue to hold the interest of large audiences at the New Central Skating Rink. The Hftle girl, though but 7-years of age, handles herself on the rollers like a veteran. The exhibi- tion given by this baby marvel and her father is drawing large crowds daily to the well-appointed and spacious rink. The two perform thelr stunts every night and afternoon. Their entertain- ment is a novelty In San Francisco and it is well worth the price of admis- sion. The management of the rink has completed work on the place and every- thing for the convenience and refresh- ment of the patrons has been attended to. During the present vacation the school children will be given a flat rate of 25 cents during the mornings, skates included. The management has made preparation for the entertainment of its little guests and every chila will be looked after. The floor is now in fine shape, and can accommodate several thousand persons at one time. —_————— MONEY LENDER LOSES SUIT ON SALARY "ASSIGNMENT Judge Golden Decides Document Did Not Cover Subsequent Employ- ment by Another Firm. Justice of the Peace Golden yesterday gave judgment in favor of the 8. H. Harmon Lumber which was sued by S. C. Wallis for $47.75 on an assignment of salary made by Harry T. Shepston, an employe of the firm. The testimony de- veloped that on April 27, 1805, Shepston, while an employe of the Pacific Lumber Company, borrowed $50 from Wallis and gave the latter a note bearing in- terest at 10 per cent a month and also signed a blank assignment in favor of Wallis of all salaries which he might earn in the future. Judge Golden in giving judgment for the Harmon Company held that the as- signment could only cover any salary which Shepston might earn from the Pacific Lumber Company, because he was an employe of that concern when he signed the power of attorney in fa- vor of Wallis. That the assignment should cover any subsequent employ- ment by another concern of Shepston |Judge Golden held was against public policy, as it might result in the as- signor becoming a public charge if he could not enjoy the salary which he was earning.

Auditor Horton yesterday refused to {audit two demands In the sums of $34.20 and $142.20, drawn in favor of Hiester, Phillips & Co., because there was on file in his offices assignments made by W. A. Hiester, a member of the firm, to the City and County Bank and J. E. Bier & Co. In the hearing held recently before Mayor Schmitz of the charges made by Hiester that Horton had held him up for a debt of. $60 before he would audit demands in favor of Miss Irene Phillips, Hiester testified that he did not owe anything to money lenders. In order to have the two demands pald Hiester at once secured relea: of his assignments both from the County Bank and J. E. Bler & Co, which Horton deems conclusive proof that Hiester did owe money to the con- cerns named. The bank's release re-| cites that the order and power of at- torney heretgfore made by Hiester now on file in the Auditor’s office is null and void, as the claims against Hlester have been satisfied. Bler's release states that Hiester having settled his account in full he is released from any claim the firm may have against the ‘warrant for transcribing the testimony In the Leon Soeder case. Horton will now audit the two demands. ———————— CONFERENCE 1S HELD ABOUT THE FERRY “LOOP” Mayor Schmitz and Representatives of Street Rallroads Endeavor to Har- monize the Various Interests.
