THE LAST HOPE FOR BEN HILL Stoe's New Constitution lay Nullify the Police Court. An Argument That Hangs on ne Out of Thirty Thou sand or More. A lint Eaised That It Is Claimed Makes Void Hill's Two Trials. (clam) Office t3.*vx Fkaxci-co Call,) - .to id way, Nov. 11. f Atiei i- now being prepared and will l-e rwaruel to Washington it ore? in the terest of Benjamin L. Hill, the wire it. merer of Alameda C .unty. MC. Chapman, the Oakland attorney for ill, is p: eparing a brie , which will 1 c en ted by W. W. Foote. Mr. Chap man contention is that Hi.l has not yet had legal examination or trial and con ■ •1 nt.v has not had any trial. it brief sets forth these facts: The coni tution of thn State provides speci licay ibat no local or -pedal legislation Kli a be transacted. It empowered the clasiication of the cit.es and owns ac cor.ng ti> their rrstcrciive popu ations. in .is classification ail cities exceeding 00.0 but not exceeding 100,000 are named us ci»-s of the second c.as-. LISS? an act known a* the Whitney icci .i.- passed, which provides for the es- a ii ni '■ ii t of a police court in cities of 30.0 inhabitants nnd not mo c than 100.0. According to the classification tc*. which has never lean amended or tied, there are no such cities in Cali lora as are referred to in ihe Whitney acts being cities of the second class. Tliidiffeicnce in classification is really butne inhabitant; that is to say, a city nf ie second class must have at least 30.0 and 1 inhabitants. The Whitney set >ro titles that its jurisdiction is over cvi of 30,000 inhabitants. Although it is i milted by the attorneys that th!s ence is very slight when applied to iheigures, slill it is of the greatest im tiornce, because it establishes a prin c.p of clas-itiea ion in absolute opposi t ono ihe spirit of ihe State constitution. lis being t-*e case the argument is ma* that the Oakland Police Court has r.o nore jurisdiction than the Stockton Pole Court, which was declared illegal sun time ago, and that, therefore, Bun jan.i Hill bad no legal examination, neiier could any legal information have Lee tiled against him by the D. strict At toriv, and. consequently, his trial was i*. ;:li id void. WW. Foote may add some argument deane with the Federal issues to the brie but 1 lie main contention will be that Hil has never yet been legally brought to ial.

Nellie O'Toole Shot Herself Through the Breast With It. i Hinckley Alley Adds Another Trag- 1 ed? to the Many Dark Deeds on Its Eoll. Hinckley alley, dark and dingy, has j added another trsgedy to the many dark i deeds already on its roll, when Nelly j O'Toole kill d herself with the pistol of a I veteran pensioner living in retirement in that unaristocratic neighborhood. Nelly was a pretty woman, and if j dressed in a swell gown could have held j her own in the matter of admiration any- j where. She was but 2.3 years old, and i drink was only just beginning to make | inroads upon her constitution. She went by the name of O'Toole, but she was a , waif noon the pave of a great city. There I is no doubi that despondency and remorse j impelled her to commit the rash deed. Las' Wednesday night she occupied a | room at 19 Hinckley place. Yesterday j morning she went into the room of a war pensioner named Frank Locke in the same j bunding. She often used to sit an chat i And drink wine with the old man, who hns but one leg and is partly ] aralyzr-d. He demurred to her coming in yesterday, out the woman prevailed upon him to let her in. He sat by the window smoking his pipe an.l looking Into the alley, as was hi habit, and the woman sat on to- bed. Without nis seeing her, or «-yen suspect ing her intentions, she took his pistol from under his pillow and tired a bullet into her left oreast. The missile became deflected in its c >urse and pas-ed through the right lane, causing her death in a few moments. Detectives Wren and Gib on were de tailed to investigate the affair, and they reported that there was no doubt that it was v, case of suicide. The body was tuken to the Morgue. An Informal Kecnption. An informal reception was tendered the new members of tne Young Men's Christian Association in their bui ding by the reception committee last evening.

A Siwash named Ne-Cay mysteriously disappeared somo lime aco, and it is now believed that he was killed by a tribesman named Lon-Ly and his body chopped into liaie pieces like the one found in the stream. Lon-LyV father on his deathbed re cently stated that his son had thus dis posed of their enemy, and Lon-Ly and his kiootsbman are not to be fount. The case promises to be a most interest ing one and will be vigorously pu hed to impress the Indians wim the power of law and the sanctity of human life in this province. 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1597. THE CHARTER CANDIDATES Committee of One Hundred Names Its Freeholder Ticket. Six Democrats, Six Republicans and Three of Other Principles, Decided Opposition to the Mayor Ap pointing the Board of Edu cation. ICl.l'l Hl.!* A.AS. Joseph Britton, 11. >. Clement, 1.. IS.

Anderson, Alfred -fridge, A. IV. Thompson. Tne two Important matters that came before tbe charter convention last night were the selection of citizens whom the body desire* lor candidates for the Board of Freeholders, and the question whether or not tie corning Boards of Education shall bs appointed by the Mayor or elected by the citizens. The first resulted in the selection as set forth, and the latter was, judging from tie general expression, that tne people shall nave the right to chose their heads of the educational system. The meeting was opened by P. W. Dohrmann and the first matter disposed of was the method of drawing warrants in the School Department, as recom mended by the School Committee, which recommendation was adopted. C. W. Moores raised a long argument by en deavoring to have the School Committee change its recommendation to hare a space ol ten feet around all ot the school houses. Tne decision was that tbe school houses should have that amount of space as a precaution against fire and for venti lation and light. At this point Mayor Phelan took the i chair, and the special committee pre- ! sented two dozen names of citizens who I were eligible as candidate** for the Board I of Freeholders. Mayor Phelan appointed tf F. K. Lt»n- as juujje, A. S. Baldwin as taliv inspector and D. C. Murphy and W. McArthur as clerks, It took but a short i time lor i he convention to make its selec tion, which has been mated in the fore going. As seen, the cand. dates were chosen ! without regard to politic*-, there being six ] Democrats, six Republicans and throe j from other parlies. There was considerable discussion as to j i what the party name of the convention's i | choice shall be. The choice seemed to be tho "Charter Convention party. " The naming of the bed/ was left to the law committee. The question that provoked the most '. argument and several exchanges of hot | shot was raised by Gavin McNab. At a • previous meeting the public schools com i mitiee recommended that the Board of j | Education be appointed by the Mayor, j ' While this met with the favor of many, j ! there were others wno considered that ] j with Ihe appointive positions already i vested in the city's chief executive the ! naming of the heads of the Public School , Department was giving him too much power una taking too much lrom the people. Tue opponents to Ibe recommendation were on neck last night, and the opposi tion was headed by McNab, who in an earnest speech recommended that the report of the public school committee be i recommitted with the instruction that it j should change its report no that the j Board of Education stall be elected by ballot by tne people instead of us recom- j mended by the committee, allowing the i Mayor to appoint the Board of Education j He said that to allow this clause to go through would mean the defeat of the charier. J. J- Dwyer, iti a long speech, supported McNab and went to the defense of the Boards of Education, present and j past. He further moved that the com- ! mittee be instructed to provide in its re port that the selection of teachers and principals be vested in 'he Board of Edu- I cation and that power be taken from the | Superintendent and his font- deputies who ! make tbe selection of these teachers. C. W. Mark took ■exception to the sate ments of Dwyer aid held that the time is ! ripe for attaCK tin t'-e system which per- ! mits the members of die board to be cor- . nipt and show unjust favoritism. Move over, noi one of a dozen is competent to pa-s upo'i the qualifications of teachers, M. C. Hasseti argued that the men who are elected as S-ch>ot D. rectors are the choice of the peip c. but thai they are the choice of the bosse , who require for tne ; nominations all the patronage that cau be given. Charles Wesley Reed offered as a sub- I stitute that the committee be requestei to change its report so as to provide for I the election of boards of education by popular elec ion, and the teachers selected j by some system based upon civil-service nriniiples, anil have the teachers and' principals selected on.v upon their fitness. j This will make friends instead of enemies for the charter and do away wit:, the ob- f jection to giving tho Mayor too much I appointive power. Mr-. L K. Burke look the position that | it is d ilicult to apply the rule of civil -ser- I vice to the examination of teachers. Un- I der the present system new teachers are placed upon a probation of six month". it. j is this probation work thut is the real test of the untried teacher, At the end of this probation the Board of Superintendent', ! as proposed, can determine th • teacher's j fitness. It makes no difference whether I the Board ot Education is elected or ap- j pointed, but let experts determine the I teacher's fitness. Joseph O'Connor thought that business I men should look after the building of! schoolhouses and the p.irchase of sup- ' plies, bu, let experts determine the quali- j fications of teacher-?. A.E. Kellogg advised that the commit- I lee's report be not disturbet, as it was carefully considered in its preparation. Reed's substitute and Dwyer's amend ment wore lost when put io a tote, and McNab's resolution, looking to the elec tion of tbe Board of Education by popu lar vote, was carried. The convention meets again this even ing. ____________ Muss- Meet ing of Labor .Men.

Chief Lees Pilots the Oity lathers Through the Tenderloin District. A delegation of the Supervisors, consist ing of Captain F. M. Djlany, Lawrence Devany, John H. Sheehan and E. J. .Smith, chairman of the Commute" on Public Morals, with Chief of Police Lees, mada the roundsof the tenderloin district last night. The iip went out that the .Baldwin Hotel J would be the rendezvous at which the | delegation would assemble. This was cor rect, lor there the manly and dignified ] form of Captain Deiany could be seen adorned in broadcloth and patent-leather I toothp ck*. Chief of Police Lees joined j the Supervisors, and a start was made for ] the tenderloin section of the city. This official visit was not, however, un i known to the dwellers in the alleys, j Tney too got t c "tip" that their dens I wouid be viewed by the august body from j the City Hall. As a consequence the j lights, that on other nights are permitted | to reflect on the -passers-by, were turned ; down to a mere glimmer, barely sufficient to give light to the inmates to pursue | their s utiles. For, on this occasion, I books, periodicals and crochet needles i were called into use. Chief L'es piloted tho City Fathers j through Balden place to Berry street I (from Pine to Cali'ornia, between Kearny | and Montgomery), wnere the front win j dows bad been frosted for the 00-asion. I From here St. Mary reet and Quincy | place were traversed and careful iy in spected. The last place visited by the delegation j was Racon place, where Uie gilded pates | are placed across the public street. The ! fifty odd dens, barely large enough for a dog to comfortably live in, were all ' scanned by the tourists as they passed j down one side and up the other. This is the place In particular against which .Supervisor Smith has been fight* ! ing. From the exnrjs-ions let fall by Chair j man Smith, it will be recommended at I the meeting of the committee to-day that ! the places be closed. WANT A SCHOOL CLOSED | Sickness and Death Caused by the Bad Condition of the •, Haight Building. People of the Mission Will Petition to Have a Dneaie-Breeding Place Put in Order, The people who resile In the vicinity of the Haight Primary School on Mission street, between Twenty-lilih and Twenty ! sixth, are loud in their complaints against ; the school, which is in Mich a horrible t condition that many of the pupils have i been stricken with diphtheria and other ' diseases which are the result of the un sanitary condition of the premises. J. W. Bird, a plumber who resides at 3236 Mission street and who is also a mem ber of the Eureka Society for the Protec i tion of Children, has been making some investigations and has found that no le-s than a dozen chi dren who attended that | school i ava within the last month been I stricken with diphtheria. Among the j children who contracted the disease while attending the school two have died and ! another cne is not expected to live. 1 There are seven others who are seriously J ill with diphtheria who have been re ! ported to Mr. Bird, and it is believed that | there nre many other cases which have | not yet been heard from. Mr. Mead i f 3242 Mission street ha? two children who are ill from the diseases ■ which attacked thera whle they were in ! -"hool, and a eh 1 I belonging to Mr. F>garty, who resides on the corner of i Virginia avenue and Brospict place, is i not expected to live. The choolhouse was condemned some i lime ago, but nothing wai done to place ! the building in a proper sanitary condi i tion. So pr v-ilent ims been diphtheria i among the school children that many I families have taken their little ones out i of school. The people living in the vicinity of the schoolhoiite hive circulated a petition asking the Board o! Health and the Board of Education to close the school until it can be placed in the best sanitary condition. Notice to Physicians.
