SUPERVISORS
TALK ABOUT
THE DELAY
Their Opinions Regarding
the Construction of the
Hall of Justice.
A FEW APOLOGIES ARE MADE.
Nearly the Whole Board Op
posed to Granting an Ex
tension of Time.
DEFINITE mm TO BE TIKI.
Contractors to Be Called Upon to Give
Their Eeasons for Not Push
ing the Work.
The procrastinating contractors, whose
delay in pushing forward the work on the
Hall of Justice building has occasioned a
great deal of adverse criticism from the
property-owners of this City, may be called
upon at the next meeting of the Commit
tee on Public Buildings of the Board of
Supervisors to give their reasons why they
do not put a larger force of men to work
and make a better showing than they have
thus far.
Supervisor Britt of the Committee on
Public Buildings, who by virtue of that
office is responsible in a measure for the
carrying out by the contractors of the
terms of the contract, was inclined to treat
the matter leniently.
"1 don't think that the builders are en
tirely to blame for the delay. It is the
fault of the architect as much as it is
theirs. They were delayed in the start
because tne debris had not been removed,
and the buildings close by had to be
•shored' up. At a meeting of the board
the architect admitted that he was as
much to blame as the builders. The
proper steps had not been taken by the
City to have the work done speedily, and
in fact the builders were not given lati
tude .enough in the first place, Ido not
think the building will be finished when
the contract calls for it, for 1 do not think
the contractors were allowed time enough.
For this reason I would ba willing to grant
the builders an extension if 1 find that the
work cannot be done without it — that is to
say. if they can show good reasons why
the favor should be extended to them."
Sun rvisor Hirers is a member of the
Public Buildings Committee and had a
very positive opinion and expressed him
.elf unhesitatingly. He appeared very
much disgusted with the way the con
tractors were acting.
"I am in favor of taking the work away
from them," said Mr. ...Ver*-. '-The Baie
man brotners don't seem to car. about it.
I think that they have got their foot into
it and don't want the job. They are not
trying to do what is right. If they were
doing all they could and putting plenty
of men to work 1 would probably be in
favor or extending the time, say for a
month or so, but they are not doing
near what is right. As soon as
the chairman of the committee gets back
I will bring the matter before the com
mittee. Oi course we cannot do anything
now, but i am in favor of talcing the to i
tract away from them and will bring tne
matter up just as soon as the chairman
gets back."
Supervisor Morton believes that the
contractors should be forced to iulfill the
terms of their contract, and is not in
favor of giving the builders longer time.
Supervisor Rottanzi said: "1 am not
in favor of granting them any extension
of time unless they can show good cause
for the delay. If they cannot snow that
lt is not attributable to their neglect I
would be in lavor of enforcing the penal
tie*-."
Supervisor Dodge -said: "I am not pre
pared to give an opinion just now, for
there may be good reasons why they can
not comply with the terms of the con
tract. There has been some friction be
tween the contractors and the Building
Committee, but as lam not a member of
that committee I have paid but little at
tention to it. In fact, I don't know any
thing at all about the matter."
"It is an outrage!" exclaimed Super
visor Haskins. "The Call is taking the
right stand in that matter, fer the delay
will drive all the business away irom tnis
end of town. Of course it will eventually
come back again, but the business men
are being injured. A great many of them
have complained to me about the way ti.e
work is being done there. If they don't
get the work done when they should and
can't give a good excuse they should be
lined."
am chafing at the delay as much as
the people are " said Supervisor Clinton,
"but I cau't say just now what I will do.
I will investigate the matter and if 1 am
satisfied that the contractors are to blame
I will not be willing to grant them any
further time."
Supervisor Lackmann said: "It is time
that these delays should be stopped, and
if the matter comes up before the board I
will vote against granting an extension,
It is wholly unwarranted."
Supervisor Devany said; "I don't
Know much about the matter, as I have
just returned from the country; hut 1 in
tend to loot into it. If there is no good
reason for the delay 1 will not vote for an
extension."
Supervisor Delaney expressed his opin
ion by saying that be was not in lavor of
giving the contractors more time.

JEANINE IS
RELENTLESS
AS OF YORE
Attorney Deimas Is ' Again
Accosted by the
Baroness.
COLOAEL KOWALSKY ARBITRATOR.
The Pursued Escapes and the
Fair Will Case Yet
Continues.
IcEIBMEI STILL HIS I'OJFIDEICE.
Incidentally He Explains the Con
ference of Governor James H.
Budd and Martin Kelly.
Baroness yon Turkheim is again on the
warpath.
Undaunted by former failures, she has
again essayed to gain possession of the
scalp of Attorney D. M. Deimas. But
once more has she failed, and it is ru
mored that tie suave Colonel Kowalsky
was tne benefactor who prevented the
wreaking of the dire deed.
After the adjournment of the Fair case
yesterday afternoon Attorney Deimas, ac
companied by Colonel Kowalskv and At
torney Ruef, walked along McAllister
street to Market.
At this point an addition was made to
the gathering by the former's Nemesis,
Jeanine Young, or, speaking more defin
itely. Baroness yon Turkheim. Attorney
Deimas maintained a studied silence, but
the colonel allowed his thoughts to be ut
tered in the words, "What next?'
Tne Baroness accosted Deimas atid said,
"I wish to speak to you," but received no
answer.
The party then proceeded to cross Mar
ket street, walking in single hie, with Del
mas in the lead, tbe colonel a close sec
ond, followed by Lawyer Ruef, who was
again in turn followed by the Baroness.
As they reached Sixth sireet Deimas.
with the vain idea of '".osing" the Baron
ess, turned down that thoroughfare. But
she was not so easily to be shaken off.
Kowalsky, who seemed to be standing
guard, pushed the tall brunette aside and
told her there were other and more agree
able places to speak to Deimas, if speak
she must.
Then trouble commenced; for the
Baroness allowed her wrath to be spent
upon the colonel, and he concluded to join
Deimas in a "tonic" in a convenient
liquor-store on Sixth street. Attorney
Ruef had already joined the pursued.
By this time a crowd had gathered, and
the Baroness won their sympathy by fell
ing them how she had I een s.ighted and
wron.ed by the "little Napoleon."
Detective Crocuett, seeing the crowd,
went along to see what it was all about.
He saw the Baroness surrounded by her
sympathisers and, walking up to her,
asked her what was the matter.
"Who are you, sir?"' coldly asked the
Baroness.
"I am a detective officer," replied
Crockett, showing his star.
. Then she condescended to explain that
she wanted to talk to Mr. Deimas, but he
had gone into the liquor-store. Crockett
endeavored to disperse the crowd, but
without avail.
A looker-on took it upon himself to go
and notify an officer that there was a dis
turbance near Jessie street, and tbe olri
cer, acting upon the information, rang in
fo r the patrol.
When the wagon arrived Mr. Deimas,
the colonel and Ruef, who had reap
peared upon the scene, somewhat re
freshed, declined tp make any complaint
for her arrest, and she quietly withdrew,
at Detective Crockett's suggestion, much
to the chagrin of the constantly growing
crowd, who were evidently looking tor
still turther demonstrations.
The trio of attorneys proceeded on their
way to their respective offices, and again
Attorney I) *lmas escaped with his cranial
covering, much to his satisfaction and
that of his company.
However, this "outside demonstration"
will not retard the trial. The final battle
is on and the celebrated contest is about
to end in a pyrotechnic dislay of oratory.
The wind-spilling commenced yesterday
morning at 10:30 o'clock, and Garret Mc-
Enerney put in the entire day telling wny
there was no virtue in the claims of the
defendant Craven, and how much there
was of righteousness in all that had been
contended for by the plaintiff Fair.
There was a large crowd present. Judgi
Carroll Cook's courtroom had been bor
rowed for the occasion, and it was well
filled. Among the spectators during the
forenoon were Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and
Miss Virginia Fair.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Craven
and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Koehler, tbe last
named formerly Miss Margaret Craven,
were present. The bride and groom roobed
the speaker of much of his legitimate
attention.
Before the signal was sounded for Mc-
Enerney to enter the lists Judge Slack
made a few preliminary remarks concern
ing the rules under which the contest was
to be conducted. Each side .was to be
allowed eight hours for argument— the
usual working time of two court days.
The questions which the jury would be
asked to find upon were three, briefly:
1. D.d James G. Fair ever sign the docu
ments in question? 2. Were they properly
acknowledged beiore J. J. Coonev, notary?
3. Was there a conspiracy entered into oy
Nettie R. Craven, Elizabeth Haslrin_ and
J. J. Cooney to defraud the rightful heirs
out of a portion Oi the estate oi James G.
Fair? Judge Slack stated that he had de
cided to admit evidence concerning tbe
value of James G. Fail's estate, and to
exclude testimony concerning the circum
stances of the heirs. Deimas objected to
the latter ruling, and resultant upon the
former decision it was stipulated that the
estate was worth $15,000,
These little preliminaries being disposed
of Attorney McEut-rney faced the jury.
By his side was a great stack of . exhibits,
some of them bearing numbers of dizzy
proportions, and in hi 3 hand he held a
man of typewritten manuscript that
caused the jurymen to turn white and
tremble. The plaintiff's champion lost
little time in idle words. He omitted an
introduction to his speech, and then bal
anced the address by leaving off the per
oration. It was a cool, convincing array
of apparently irresistible deductions.
"Ii will be my purpo-e to sum up from
the evidence, . be said, "two conclusions:
That James G. Fair never signed the two
deeds in question, and that he : never ac
knowledged them. If these two conclu
sions are supported, then the third con
clusion, that Nettie R. Craven, James J.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1897.
Cooney and Elizabeth Haskins entered
into a conspiracy, is inevitable."' -
The speaker then drew special atten
tion to the length of time which had
elapsed between Senator Fair's death and
Mrs. Craven's annoucement of her rights,
and intimated that it was not until she
had met Martin Kelly or his a*»ent, James
T. Cuilen, that she announced her posses
sion of the pencil will.
Incidentally McEnerney threw in a few
r*- marks in explanation of Governor
; Build's connection with the case. "tine
says that Martin Kelly came to her from
Governor Budd." said McEnerney, ''and
: said 'Governor Budd wishes. to see you.' It
is not unlikely that Martin Kelly went to
| Governor BuJd and said, 'Tnere is a
! woman In town who has a last will of
; James G. Fair which rizhls your client by
! iving $500,000 to your client, .Charles L.
1 Fair.' Well, she went to Governor Budd,
and he said, 'Where is that will?' She
| said. 'Wi at will?'
"Now, it Governor Budd was occupying
| the position of an attorney looking out
j for the interests of his client, what was
Martin Kelly doirtg in that room unless
! be was aiding and abetting Mrs. Nettie R.
| Craven?" Then McEnerney tossed a few
! floral tributes at the executive, who ho
j said was free from taint of corruption.
The advocate argued that Mrs Craven's
actions previous to announcing her pos
session of the deeds, and. the wills all
negatived such po session. He also dwelt
strongly upon the point that no motive
had been shown in Senator Fair for mak
ing such fis to Mrs. Craven. "There is
not a letter, not a single scrap of paper,"
he said, "expressing Fair's friendship or
gratitude toward her."
At the afternoon session the crowd was
even larger than in the morning. Lieu
tenant-Governor Jeter came in and sat
with the attorneys for the plaintiff for
awhile. He was* too late, however, to
hear McEnerney's explanation of the
Governor's attitude.
McEnerney consumed the greater part
of the afternoon in exploiting the modus
op-rand, of the composing-room and in
showing why numerous notarial blanks of
divers dates were identical, while other
blanks of equally confusing origin were
various. Alter the chronological dis
course upon blanks, he turned to a con
sideration of the defense's witnesses who
were not. He demanded to know why
Mrs. Craven had not been called and de-
ciared it was the only instance in his
memory where an honest claim was aided
by the aosence from the witness-stand of
its promoter.
He wanted to know why Martin Kelly
and why Stephen Roberts were not called.
Then be himself told the jury why these
omissions had been and how disastrous it
would have been to the defendant's case
had tbey not been.
In concluding the speaker threatened to
show something of perjury, of suborna
tion and conspiracy in the case, but he
contented himself with rather vague ref
erences to Martin Kelly's connection with
the defendant's case and a plea to the jury
to find for the plaintiff in the interest of
honesty, justice ami the integrity of those
institutions upon wh.ch depend the peace
of the land.
Mr. Deimas will open for the defen se at
10 this morning.
MORGAN OFF TO HAWAII
Alabama's Senator Left Yes

Other Legislators.
Remaining Members of the Wheeling
Gunboat Party Start South

LAVIGNE MAY
SLIP WALCOTT
The Difficulty Encountered
in Signing the Crack
Pugilists.
Managers Quibble Over Weitrbt,
'While the Purse Is Being
Increased.
Futile Meeting Held to Sign the Men,
Lavigne May Go Against Hawkins
or McKeever.
The Lavigne- Walcott fight still hangs
fire. The obstacles in the way cf signing
these two clever men in the roped arena
are twofold — weight and purse. Lavi^ne
stoutly affirms that his opponent must
weigh in at the ringside at 137 pounds.
O'Rourke, Walcott's manager, contends
that the contestants should weigh in at
3 o'clock cf the afternoon ol the night
when the fight takes place. The Occi
dental and National Sporting Clubs are
warm aspirants for the contest and
O'Rourke, shrewd manager as he is, seems
to court to delay in order that the pugil
ists may receive an immense profit from
the physical culture exhibition.
Last night a notable gathering of pugil
istic managers was held in well-known
ciubrooms on Ellis street. O'Rourke,
Young Mitchell of the Occidental Club,
Gibbs of the National Club, Al Eiling-
house of the Empire Club, Lavigne and
his brother Biliy and others were present.
The meeting was for the purpose of sign
ing articles for a 20- round contest be
tween Larigne and Walcott.
O'Rourke opened the proceedings by
stating that he was willing to sign Wal
cott to weigh in at 3 o'clock at 137 pounds.
Lavigne and his brother demurred to this
proposition. They were willing that the
champion lightweight should meet the
doughty Walcott. the men to weigh in at
the ringside at 137 pounds. But O'Rourke
wouldn't have it that way; the men must
not weigh in at the ringside.
Here a long discussion followed as to
the advantages or disadvantages of a Cali
fornia climate over that of the East from
a pugilistic standpoint, O'Rourke contend
ing that a man couldn't fight here as
strong as he could East unles;s he were
much heavier. "Why," said the suave
manager, "Walcott can fight in the East
at 188 pounds. Here I wouldn't think ot
him going into the ring at less than 137."
Laviene's forces contended that the
lightweight champion had received a dis
patch while in the East from San Fran
cisco assuring him that Walcott would
tight at 137. pounds, weigh in. at the ring
side.
O'Rourke denied that he had ever au
thorized such a dispatch; that the 137
pounds meant weigh in at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Lavigne recognized that Walcott was a
buret man and thought it unfair that be
shottll give away so much weight to the
colored man, asserting that 137 pounds in
the afternoon would mean 143 or 145
pounds in the ring.
At this juncture Gibbs called O'Rourke
and Billy Lavigne into an adjoining room
and, on behalf of the National Club, offered
80 per cent of the ero-s receipts for the
contest. This was a raise of 5 per cent
over the club's previous bid.
After more talk O'ltoarke said that h6
was willing that Walcott should weigh in
at 136 pounds at 6 o'clock on the evening
of the fight, but Lavigne would not listen
to the proposition, holding out for 137
pounds at the ringside. The meeting broke
up. nothing having been accomplished.
It was afterward ascertained that the
National Club is hopeful of matching La
vigne and Dal Hawkins, or Lavigne and
the winner of the McKeever-Tracey fight.
Hawkins is in the lightweight class and
Lavigne fights strong at 133. In fact his
sno*>t notable battles, possibly excepting
his contest with Dick Burse before the
National Sporting: Club of London on
June 1, 1806, were at this weight or in its
vicinity. On Dcember 2, 1805, he won
from Walcott before the Empire Club at
Maspeth. Long Island. It was a 15-rouno
contest, Lavigne to stay that number of
rounds, but he won .on merits. The men
fought at 133 pounds. Lavigne contends
that Walcott is now in the welter-weight
class, and tnat while he is willing to give
Walcott the advantage in weight he is
unwilling to accord him so much as
O'Rourke insists upon.
Eddie Graney announces that he will
not referee the Dixon-Smith fight, which
takes place in October. He states that he
has been asked to referee the Lavi.ne-
Walcott fight if it is pulled off and has it
under advisement. He will probably ref
eree the contest.
The National Club, it * is understood, is
negotiating with Sharkey to meet the
winner of the Choynski-Jeffries match,
which is scheduled for November. Choyt-
ski is expected here the first of the month.
This evening the battle between "Kid"
McCoy ana Tommy Ryan takes place in
Syracuse. McCoy is a hot favorite in tne
local poolrooms, selling at 2 to 1.

and friends, and will entertain as it never
before entertained. In the parade the
parlor will occupy a prominent position
and W. B. Hinchman. the marshal, ex

credit on that section of the City.
South San Francisco Parlor will be well
represented in the parade in thi" Cily to
morrow night and will also have a good
representation at Santa Rosa. The mem
bers will appear in an attractive uniform.
Arrangements have been made for the

friends at Santa Ro.-a.
California Parlor No. 1 will have its
headquarters in Ilahmau Hall in Santa

. Baby doesn't always find this world an
inviting place to come to. It is a world of
struggle, at the best. Prospective mothers
ought to make it as hopeful a world as pos-
sible for the little stranger. It is her duty
at least to confer on her baby as strong and
healthy a constitution as possible, by keep-
ing her own physical and mental condition
at its best during the expectant time.
The best promoter of health and cheer-
fulness a prospective mother can have is
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription. It tones
up the whole system and gives special
strength and elastic power to the delicate
organism concerned in parturition. It
makes the mother stronger and brighter in
body and mind; it shortens confinement,
makes delivery easy and entirely free from
danger; gives the mother recuperative En-
ergy and power, and promotes an abundant
supply of nourishment for the child.
Delicate women should be extremely care-
ful not to imperil their health by resorting
to any preparation put up by unskilled, un-
educated persons, or mere nurses. Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription is the only
preparation of its kind invented by a regu-
larly graduated physician, an eminent spe-
cialist of thirty years' experience.
The most valuable knowledge for women, and
especially for prospective mothers, is contained
in Dr. Pierces great 1008-page free book. "The
People's Common Sense Medical Adviser."
Several chapters are devoted to women's repro-
ductive physiology. There are over 300 illustra-
tions and colored plates. A paper-bound copy
will be sent absolutely free on receipt of 21 one-
cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing only. Ad-
