like to get rid of it. A. J. Morrison, who
had been exhibiting the beast at Schuet

the lion tb the narrow gauge depot to
be shipped. The lion is in a smallcage
and the company refused . to accept the
freight as It was caged. Andy Young,
the expressman, tried to send it by Wells-
Fargo express, but this corporation would,
not accept it. . The expressman then drove
back to the dPDot and left the lion and
cage on the platform.
The depot employes finally placed the
king of beasts In the warehouse. { All
last night it kept the neighborhood awake
with Its roars.
Young began suit to-day against Mor

The trial of the suit of Maud Van
Buren against the Mountain Copper Com
pany. (Ltd.) was ended yesterday after
noon when the Jury returned a verdict
awarding the plaintiff damages in the
sum of $6760 for the death of her hus
band, John Van Buren. who was killed on
February 25, 1900, by a cave underground.
This was the second trial of the case,
the former 1ury having awarded Mrs. Van
Buren 515.000 damages, but a new. trial
wae granted by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
The evidence was practically the same
on both occasions. It was shown that
John Van Buren was not a miner, but en
gaged as a laborer on the surface. Not
withstanding that fact, he was gut to
work a few days later in a stope which
was insufficiently timbered. Many wit
nesses testified that pieces of rock
"scaled" from the roof of the excavation,
bo much so that the foreman of one gang
of men ordered them out of t»e dangerous
stope into a safer place. Ten minutes
later the "cave" occurred, killing Van
Buren and his seven fellow workmen.
Mrs. Van Buren was left destitute with
three minor children to suport.
She Is Awarded Six Thousand Seven
Hundred and Fifty Dollars

MAUD VAN BX7REN WINS
.. HER SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Those in the secrets of the management
say that it has been definitely decided
that the addition to be built on the Cos
mos Club property will be exactly like
the part of which the walls have been
completed. It Is learned through a relia
ble source that the owners of the prop
erty on the southwest corner of Powell
and Post streets have offered to lease the
land on which present buildings stand,
the duration of the lease to-be twenty
years; and also to erect, on a lease basis
of six per cent of the cost of the build
ing, a structure to adjoin the St. Franci3
Hotel and to be like it in every regard,
connected with the St. Francis and, dur
ing the lease, to be an integral part of It.
This proposition has been made to the
parties back of the St. Francis Hotel and
it meets with favor, but no definite ac
tion has been taken. The addition pro
posed would give the St. Francis I-Iottt
nearly oi# thousand rooms in total and
make it one of the most imposing hotel
Structures in the world. •- .
There is a strong possibility that the
St. Francis Hotel, on Powell and Geary
streets, will be enlarged not only to take
in the, lot Juat north of the present struct
ure, which has been acquired by pur
chase, but that it will be extended the
same height and on the same . architect
ural, lines as the present large beginning,
until It takes in the entire frontage on
Powell street from Geary to Post and
running back on both Geary and Post
streets.

vice. The Second Cavalry will be sent In

away for a long time and are badly In

The City Engineer recommended the es
tablishment of grades on Twenty-first
avenue northerly from Lake street, and
filed a map showing the location of_a pro
posed right of way for an intercepting
sewer for the drainage of the blocks
northerly from Lake street, Sixteenth to
Twenty- fourth .avenues.
Regarding the petition of property
owners . that Buchanan and Webster
streets be graded between Hermann and
Market, the City Engineer reported that
the cost would be far in excess of one
half the assessed valuation of abutting
property and suggests that provision be
made for doing the work and assessing
the cost to a district.
Resolutions for private contracts were
adopted for the bituminlzlng of Twenty
third street between Dolores and Chatta
nooga; Twenty-fifth street between Fol
som and Treat avenue; Twenty-fourth
street between Vermont and San Bruno
avenue; Harrison street between Twen
ty-fourth and Twenty-fifth.
The specifications for the sprinkling,
repair and . maintenance of Point . Lobos
avenue were approved.
The Board of Public Works yesterday
declared forfeited the check for $240 de
posited .by Walter Cole after a contract
had been awarded to him to construct
sewers in the vicinity of Persia and
China avenues. Cole failed to enter into
the contract and consequently the check
was ordered deposited in the city treas
ury . In accordance with section 17, chap
ter 1, article 6 or the charter." This Is
the first instance on record of a check
having been confiscated ' by the city for
failure to assume a contract.-.
The board formally denied the applica
tion' of the Pioneer Automobile Company
for -a permit to erect a building four and
a half feet in excess of the legal height
at the corner of Golden Gate avenue and
Octavla street, although the Supervisors
had granted a permit by special ordi
nance which the Board of Public Works
holds is Illegal.
The" contract for macadamizing Arling
ton street was awarded to the San Fran
cisco Construction Company.
Another reason given by Mayor Schmitz
for not taking immediate action is that
Newhallhas only four and a half months
more to serve and he fails to see why
there should be any wild scrambling for
the office. Certain influences are at work
to force the .Mayor to take Newhall's
scalp, but his Honor is in no hurry to
grind the political axe9 of outside parties
who have failed to show any particular
Interest In his own welfare. .
"No officer of the city and county shall
absent himself from the State: but he
may once only during his term of office
so absent himself for a period of not more
than sixty days upon the written per
mission of the Mayor so to do. Viola
tion of this section shall be sufficient
cause for the removal of any officer vio
lating the same."
. Under the latter section official proof
would have to be produced that Newhall
had been absent from the State for more
than 'sixty , days. While proceedings for
his removal, which would be slow at best,
were under way he might return to the
city and In the event that he desired
to retain- the office could seek refuge be
hind the first section quoted on the plea
that h« had not been absent sixty days
without leave. Under that section New
ball would have until October 18 next to
come within its provisions. The point Is
a fine one, and Mayor Schmltz realizes
its force.
Mayor Schmltz stated yesterday that
he would not take up the matter , of Po
lice Commissioner . NewhaJl jj overstaying
his leave of absence for probably a month
and would probably not take action In
the premises at all. Newhall's leave of
Bixty days expired last Tuesday and he
had all day yesterday to put in an ap
pearance, but did not do so. • . ;¦
The language of the charter Is rather
ambiguous regarding the absence of city
officials, Mayor Schmitz thinks. He* points
to section 10 of article XVI headed "Mis
cellaneous," which says:
"An office becomes vacant when the in
cumbent • • • shall have been absent
from the State without leave for more
than sixty consecutive days." .
¦According to this language. It would
appear that Newhall would have to re
main away for an additional sixty-one
days in order tb be rendered amenable
to the section quoted, as he has had per
mission to be absent from the State for
sixty days, which has Just expired.
Again section 3 of the same chapter
says: <

school ; Miss Jennie Doyle to the Richmond

The following assignments were made
from the evening substitute list:
Miss Alice Kedon was transferred from
the Starr King School to the John Swett

Miss Annie J. Murphy was assigned to
Sie Lincoln Grammar School, Miss; Es-
Iher Wolf to the. Emerson School (new

Leaves of absence were granted to Mar
garet A. Smith, Helen D. Conlan and
Miss Alice Chalmers. .
The resignation of Annie H. Allen, a
teacher In the department, was accepted.
Resolved, That this board set aside the sum
9f $100 to defray the expenses of testing charts,

such tettlng.
Whereas, Recent Investigations of eyesight
