Must Pay on an Order of Court.
Owing to the fact that Treasurer
Brooks has refused to pay demands for
services on court orders unless the same
are signed by the Auditor a friendly test
case will be made in order to determine
whether the charter or the Stat* 1 law
governs in the ca?e. Yesterday the Treas
urer refused to pay an order in favor of
Kinlay Cook for $13 for services as ap
praiser of collateral inheritances. It is un
derstood that the Superior Judges will
mandamus the Treasurer to pay claims on
an order of court and he will be obliged
to recognize all future demands;

Testimony in Case of Mrs. Jacobson
Against Rabbi Myers.
The trial of the suit of Mrs. G. H.
Jacobson against Rabbi Myers for the re
funding of $235. alleged to be due for
money expended for transportation from
Melbourne to San Francisco, was re
sumed yesterday morning In Justice
Groezingers court. Mrs. Myers, wife of
the defendant in the case, testified that
she had never written a letter to the
Jacobsons at Melbourne in which she
had either promised to send them funds
or to reimburse them for '.raveling ex
penses. Mrs. Myers further declared
that Rabbi Myers had never intended
paving for the Jacobsons' transportation
here.
R. D. Rapken, a capitalist, was then
put upon the stand by the defense. He
testified that he had lived in Melbourne
for twenty years; that for fifteen years
he had belonged to the Philanthropic
Society of that place, and that he had
known Mrs. Jacobson to be aided hun
dreds of times. "She was a needy and
worthy woman." said he. "and we aided
her with sums ranging from 30 shillings
to $5 a week."
Attorney Crowley attempted to ques
tion the truthfulness of Rapken's state
ment, but Judge Groezinger said that he
was convinced that Rapken was telling
the truth. Some excitement followed the
Judicial utterance and the case was
finally continued until to-morrow morn
ins.

VALLEY ROAD NEWS.
Construction Proceeding Rapidly and
Completion Near at Hand.
If the present weather continues for a.
few weeks the Valley road will be in a
position to deliver its first consignment
of freight and its first load of passengers
to San Francisco by the Ist of April. All
that is now delaying the construction is
the mud which has resulted from the re
cent heavy rains.
The big viaduct at the end of the Al
hambra valley is now completed am!
trains are running over it. All the bridge*
are likewise in working order and do-.'.ig
the business for which they were cnir
structed. Tracks have been laid through
two of the tunnels and the others are
ready to receive the rails as soon as the
engineers decide to put them in.
The entire length of embankment h<T»
been built, and all that now remains to
complete the line to Point Richmond Is to
lay some twenty miles of track, which
will be an easy and simple task as soon
as the ground becomes dry and hard
enough to permit of the work being re
sumed.
The construction of the Point Richmond
wharf Is being hurried and a couple of
weeks will witness Its completion.
DESIGN OF WINDOW AND CRYPT IN THE COLUMBARIUM.
AN art treasure has Just been added to the beautiful Columbarium in
Odd Fellows* Cemetery- It is a crypt on the ground floor erected by
Mrs. Douglas T. Cone, a wealthy resident of Red Bluff, and was de
signed by Victor de Prosse, a well-known architect and artist of this
city, who personally supervised its construction.
The window represents Clotho spinning the threads of Immortal life.
The crypt Is of the purest selected California onyx, designed in simple
Renaissance style. It is trimmed with a full relief bronze frieze of antique
design. Angel heads of antique bronze with flower design, interwoven at
both sides of the pilasters, carry the onyx and metal frieze. The front is
faced with an antique bronze panel and btVel plate glass. The top has also
been made of glass to allow the reflection of the beautifully soft colored
lights of the window above into the Interior of the crypt.
The crypt holds a bronze urn which is finished In antique green on the
outside. It stands on a block of beautiful reddish onyx and Is mainly
Baroque In design.
Mr. de Prosse has succeeded in his desire to do away with the gloomy
style which characterizes most burial places, and while there Is dignity in
his whole design it Is also bright with hopefulness.
All the bronze work was modeled, cast and chased In this city and the
onyx work was finished here.
M'CALL PLANS FOR
A NEW CAN FACTORY
HE FINALLY SAYS THE STORY
IS CORRECT.
Beyond This No Information Is Ob
tainable, but Canners Are Keenly
Interested.
The condition of local canners of fruit
and makers of fruit cans appears to be
Improving. Yesterday Mr. McCall of Chi
cago, who represents Eastern capitalists,
acknowledged that he was interested In
the establishment of a new can manu
facturing plant In this city. Further
than this he declined to talk, but gave
out the impression that the deal with
which he was connected had not yet been
completed. He did not know when he
would be ready to give out any additional
facts.
An Interesting story, well authenti
cated. Is that Mr. McCall has, since his
arrival in this city, urged upon canners
of fruit who are not in the canners' com
bine that it would not be wise for them
to make any contracts for their cans for
the coming year until they have heard
what he had to offer. The report is also
out that he said to one concern that the
people whom he represents have already
shipped machinery to be used In the new
can plant, irom the East.
This report Is of special interest to
the local canners who are not in the com
bine, for .the local can-makers have been
about to make contracts with the can
neries for the ensuing term. An odd
feature of the case is that Mr. McCall has
failed to call upon several canners. A
rumor was out last night that a dicker
was under way for the lease of the build
ing formerly occupied by the Pacific Sheet
Metal Works, on Townsend street, for a
new can factory. Interesting develop
ments are expected shortly.
EVELINE MATTHEWS HAS
STRANGELY DISAPPEARED
LEFT A NOTE EXPRESSING HER
REGRET.
Did Not Take Her Wardrobe and Her
Friends Pear She Has Com
mitted Suicide.
S. A. Newman of 1311 Greenwich street
called at the Morgue yesterday and re
ported that Miss_ Eveline Matthews, who
resided on the southeast corner of Hyde
and Green streets, disappeared from home
last Friday and had not been heard from
since. Miss Matthews is 20 years old, five
feet tall and weighs about 125 pounds.
Her hair is red. She wore a black Alpine
hat^a navy blue dress and tan Bhoes. Mr.
Newman requested the Coroner's depu
ties to notify Captain John A. Miller at
202 Market street should her body be
found.
It Is believed that the young woman
has 'made away with herself. She was a
homeless girl, with a drunken father
somewhere in this city, and six months
ago she was taken in and given a home
by Captain and Mrs. Miller. The girl's
conduct was exemplary and the Millers
do not know of any reason why she
should seek to kill herself.
Last Saturday morning she rose at the
usual hour and prepared the breakfast
for the family. That was the last seen of
her by her patrons. She left a note, in
which she stated ¦ that she was going
away, that she regretted being obliged to
do so, and asked them to forgive her.
It was thought at first that the girl had
become involved in a love affair and had
eloped, but when It was discovered that
she had taken away with her only the
clothes she had on and left the remainder
of her wardrobe at home the suspicion
arose that, probably brooding over some
secret trouble, she had committed suicide,
either by drowning herself in the waters
of the bay or by taking poison in some
out of the way place where her body
would not easily be found.
TEN THOUSAND
FOR HIS VOTE
Price Offered a Montana
Legislator.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.— The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
held but a brief session to-day on ac
count of the non-appearance of witnesses.
President Smith of the Montana National
Bank and Representative Murray of the
Montana House of Representatives were
the only witnesses on the stand. Smith's
testimony was immaterial. Murray testi
fied that he was offered JlO.OOO to vote for
Senator Clark by persons whom he con
sidered representatives of that gentle
man.
Evidently the purpose of calling Smith
was to show transactions cf the bank in
volving Senator Clark or members of the
last Montana Legislature. Smith could
recall the names of only a few members
who had accounts at the bank last win
ter, and these had, he said, been deposit
ors at the bank for several year?. Neither
Clark nor Wellcome had transacted any
business in the bank during the last ses
sion of the Legislature, except that Clark
had opened an account just prior to the
close of the session. Clark had then given
him a personal check for J.%0.000, and had
never drawn upon the account since.
Smith said that the bank kept no record
of JI'XK) bills passing through it. and he
did not remember giving any out except
in one or two instances, which cases were
not connected with the Legislature or the
Senatorial contest. His bank anil the
hank of Clark & Brother of Butte ex
changed business.
Patrick W. Murray, a member of the
Montana Legislature from Butte. testi
fied that he had several times been ap
proached and his vote solicited for Clark
for Senator. He detailed the particulars
of two interviews with Gallick. a sup
porter of Clark, who had on both occa
sions held up his hands and spread out
his fingers and thumbs, saying that he
(the witness) could have that for his vote
if cast for Clark for Senator. He also
said that George Casey had come to him
to buy a piece of mining ground which
the witness owned, but that the condition
of the f=ale was that he should vote for
Clark for Senator. He had refused all
the propositions because Clark had op
posed the election of the ticket on which
he made the race for the Legislature.
Murray said he had not been employed
by Marcus Dalv for fourteen years and
was under no obligations to that gentle
man, i
At this point the prosecution announced
that it had no more witnesses on hand,
and the committee adjourned until to
morrow. --'.--• ¦

EAGLE EVE OF
HEALTH BOARD
ON PATRONAGE
No Position Is to Be
Overlooked.
PLACES IN LEPER HOSPITAL
STEWARD AND DAY WATCHMAN
SLATED TO GO.
Lepers Are Greatly Excited Over a
"Dark Lantern" Decision to Re
appoint a Former Employe
of the Institution.
The lust of patronage is strong with th©
new municipal administration, and espe
cially is this trait manifested in the Board
of Health appointed by Mayor Phelan. In
its extreme anxiety to carry out the ante
election promises made by his Honor it
has even directed Its eagle eye to the
minor positions of steward and day
watchman of the Twenty-sixth street
Leper and Smallpox Hospital, now
held respectively by Thomas Reilly
and Isaac Wallard. The fact that
there are two aggravated cases of
smallpox at the pesthouse, which Is of
course in a state of strict quarantine, does
not deter the new board from making
places whenever it can find them, though
to throw the two employes, Reilly and
Wallard, out npon the community after
having been in close contact with the con
tagion is nothing short of criminal. The
two men also look after the wants of the
lepers now confined in one corner of the
block on which the pesthouse la situated.
The whole place is under strict quaran
tine.
The fiat went forth, however, after a
dark lantern session of the board held in
the othce of Dr. Bazet on Geary street
last Saturday night. The board met to
nx up a slate or a long list of appoint
ments, and Keilly and Wallard, among
others, were selected for official decapita
tion. Their successors are said to be Pat
rick Keating, steward of the hospital dur
ing the Buud administration, ana William
Kuddick, son of Nurse Kuddick, now em
ployed at the institution. At least both ot
these men have been making their open
boasts that they would be appointed to
the places. Keating especially has been
loud in his assertion that he will get his
old place back, and that possibility ha»
caused the determined spurt of opposition
on the part of the leper colony.
Keating made himself so unpopular
when he formerly held the position that
the lepers wrote a communication to
Mayor Phelan requesting him not to dis
charge Reilly, who had been careful of
their comforts and was extremely popu
lar on account of his kindness to them.
The Mayor replied that he would take
the matter under advisement, but the
lepers fear that Keating will be appointed
just the same. Keating recently went out
to the leper hospital and after boasting
of his prospective appointment was round
ly abused by George Pablo, a leper, who
accused him of having absented himself
for three or four days at a time when he
held the position of steward. He left tho
watchmen in charge, and the medicines
were locked up during his absence, so
that the unfortunate lepers were obliged
to go without the remedies necessary in
their unfortunate condition. Pablo also
aacused Keating of other things of a more
or less serious nature and told him that
he and his fellows would do Keating bod
ily harm if he were reappolnted. Keating
was obliged to appeal to Steward Reilly
for protection from the irate Pablo.
Keating's prospective appointment has
thrown the lepers in a state of great ex
citement, and should the programme go
through at the special meeting of the
Healtn Board to be held to-morrow night
there may be interesting developments.
It is understood that Night WatZiman
Welch will remain.

your heroic assistance in stopping our
runaway team yesterday. I will not at
tempt to multiply words in expressing my
grateful acknowledgments to you, and
while I know that you performed your
duty courageously and directly without
hope of reward, still I trust that you may
be willing to accept the Inclosed check.
If I can be of any service to you it will
afford me the greatest gratification to bo
able to do so at any time. I inclose copy
of a letter just delivered to the Park
Commissioners on your behalf."

between the two attorneys, and finally
Kokalsky said:
"We are prepared to try this case in a
dignified and gentlemanly manner, but If
the other side wants a rough-and-tumble
fight we are ready to accommodate
them."
"That will do." said the court. "I want
no rough-and-tumble fight In this court
room. There Is a motion for a continu
ance and I will grant it."
After further discussion it was agreei
to try the case Friday afternoon at 2

to any one farmer to 2000. As his reason
tor this he pointed to the fact that the
law places the limit at 5000 grain bags
and the further cut of 3000 was made at
the instance of the board. The board re
fused to grant the Southern Pacific Mill-
Ing Company's request and the future
price of grain bags will be 5.65 per bag.
and the amount supplied will be limited
to 2000 or less. This practically means
that the board is rejecting 700.0U0 orders.
The farmers find that owing to the limited
profit of 1 cent per bag placed on the
prison product by law they can buy bags
cheaper there than in the open market,
hence the great demand for the output
of San Quentin's jute mill.
Warden M. G. Agulrre presented the
following statement of the grain bags and
jute at present on hand at the prison:
Grain bags on hand. 822,000; carried over
on orders from last year, 416,000; sold
since January 1. 1900. 261,0o0; total sold
awaiting shipment, 677,000; on hand, 145,
000; raw jute on hand in warehouses, 3357
bales which will be sufficient to run the
mills till June 1, 1500; contracted for to
arrive, per British ship Euphrosyne now
loading at Calcutta, 7000 bales.
In the report appended to this statement
it is stated that the new gun post over
looking the jute mills is completed and
ready for occupation. The cost of com
pletion came well within the estimate of
$650 presented to the board.
Since the accident in November work
in the jute mill has been resumed with
a force of 700 men. The output is said to
be larger than It has been In any pre
vious year. The average in January, 1593.
was H.OiK), while this year the average to
date is 12.525. .j, ".
The board will meet on the 3d of next
month at Folsom Prison.
KIDNAPING A SCHOONER.
Part Owner of the Fanny Adele Does
Not Want Her to Go A-Sailing.
A. E. Slade filed a libel yesterday In the

a voyage away from the bay of San Fran
cisco without giving him proper security
for the return of the schooner. Slade al
leges that he is the owner of eleven

CAME TO ADJUST MATTERS.
A Committee of Arizona Trainmen
Confer With J, A. Fillmore.
A grievance committee composed of
trainmen employed on the Arizona divis
ion of the Southern Pacific called on J.
A. Fillmore yesterday to lay before him
the troubles that had brought them from
Tucson to this city.
The matters complained of were small
affairs, involving fines and methods of
routine discipline, to which the company's
employes take exception. The committee
was closeted with Mr. Fillmore for the
best part of the day. and when the confer
ence closed most of the differences had
been satisfactorily adjusted.
Epe.e Randolph, division superintendent
of the Southern Pacific in Arizona, came
up with the men to be present at the
meeting and help his company by advis
ing Mr. Fillmore on matters of detail
with which he. as head of the division in
which the trouble arose, was more fa
miliar.
PEACE NOT YET DECLARED.
Chinese Native Sons Resent the State
ments of a Morning Paper.
The contract which is designed to re
store peace in Chinatown is still in
Marysville awaiting the signature of the
president of the Hop Sing Tong. Much
conjecture is expressed as to whether the
reluctant society will consent to any
amicable settlement, and If it should
whether it would be disregarded, as in
the case of the last declaration of truce.
The police are disinclined to believe that
the warring tongs mean to bury the
hatchet, and will still pursue their vigi
lant methods until they are confident that
murdering in Chinatown has become a
thing of the past. Acting Chief of Police
Biggy declares that He proposes to
teach the highbinders a lesson that they
will never forget, and he will not permit
an empty declaration of a truce to
throw him off his guard.
The compact, which will guarantee to
the police that henceforward all tong.«
shall become law-abiding organizations,
has not yet been signed. Negotiation
in the matter is progressing and the po
lice expect good results. A slave girl
named Sing Ho was arrested by Dr.
Gardner in a house on Jackson street last
night and turned over to the. United
States Marshal.
The Chinese Society of Native Sons de
nounces an article which appeared In a
morning paper concerning a circular Is
sued by the Chinese Six Companies in
behalf of its organization a3 a deliberate
misrepresentation. The members claim
that the translation was. not correct and
that the proclamation, instead of being
detrimental to the order, was in favor of
it.

Southern Pacific and Other Corpoaa
tiens and the Poolrooms Receive
Attention From Members
of the Board.
By failing to sign the necessary reso
lutions Mayor Phelan yesterday gained
another week in which to wage his fight
for the absolute control of the patronage
of the Board of Supervisors. The resolu
tion creating the necessary clerkships,
which was passed to print last week, was
yesterday finally passed with no vote
aßainst it. Instead of signing it and
making it operative, however, his Honor
••passed it uj>" and In answer to a point
ed question from Supervisor Reed said
he would sign it to-morrow after It had
come to him in the regular way.
"As it now stands," said Mr. Reed,
"there may be some question over the
ffiirlci of the present force of clerks, as
the T.arter abolished their positions.
Some action should be taken at once."
""As it ttands now," retorted the Mayor,
"the present clerks will get a wnole
month's salary no matter what else hap
pens to them. The resolution will be
Eisned to-morrow or the next day, if
tn^re is no objection."
A resolution by Supervisor D'Ancona,
affecting the purchase of supplies for the
Almshouse, City and County Hospital
and other of the city's charitable institu
tions, created considerable discussion, as
it apparently interfered with contracts
for supplies let by the last board. After
tome argument that point was referred
to the city Attorney tor an opinion and
the resolution passed to print. It pro
vides as follows:
Repaired, That the Board of Health, the
superintendent of the Almshouse, the resident

the chiel emergency surgeon be and are here

The rest of the resolution provides that
the Hospital and Health Committee shall
solicit bius monthly tor all supplies, the
contract to be let to the lowest bidder.
The same provisions were ordered with
regard to nun-contract goods, and it is in
this clause that exists the apparent con
flict with the contracts of the last board,
which were let for one year.
A resolution was adopted directing the
clerk of the board to withhold from the
tile lor Tina! passage ail bills or ordinances
of full acceptance of streets where the
contractor has failed to pay the printing
; .'wrges incurred for advertising the work
to l>- accepted, whether performed by pri
vate or public contract.
As a preliminary to fixing the light and

adopted:

P Supervisor .Tonin offered an ordinance
rohlbiting bookmaking, poolselling or
siting on any contest, and the attend
nce of any person at any place where
• pools are cold or bets made on contests
or contingent issues. The ordinance pro
posed by Mr. Tobin is drawn on the lines
cf the bill proposed at the last session of
the Legislature, which brought a heavy
lobby of professional gamblers to Sacra
mento bent upon its defeat. It is directed
not only against those who sell pools and
••ngage in bookmaking. but as well to
those who buy pools or register bets of
money, or any object representing money
or value, upon any contest or event of
tny description. The ordinance provides
es a penalty a fine of not more than $150
or Imprisonment not to exceed ninety
• days, or both such fine and imprisonment

Dr. D'Ancona reopened the oldtlme
f.ght between the local cemeteries and
their enemies by offering, by request, an
ordinance prohibiting the burial of
bodies within the city limits. Dr. D'An
cona disclaimed all responsibility for the
document and requested that before any
action be taken it be referred to the Ju
diciary and Hospital and Health com
mittees. It was co ordered.
Supervisor Magruire offered the resolu
tion which he announced a week ago
calling upon the Southern Pacific Rail
way to remove all of its tracks from the
north side of Seventeenth street to the
fouthern line of lac county because of
the expiration of its contract. The order
was referred to the Street Committee for
consideration.
A communication from City Attorney
l^ane carried the opinion that the ayes
and noes must be called on all proposi
tions to be voted upon by the board. Ac
cording to Mr. Lane the charter does
away with the old custom of declaring
measures carried when no opposition was
voiced ajrair.st ihr-m. The matter was rc
f«-rrcl to the City Attorney. Jointly with
the Judiciary Committee, for a more lib
