Ewp since its inception the.'Kahn-
Livernash contest for Representative in
Congress from the Fourth' California
District has been steadily accumulating
complications to vex the lega.l mind,
but the history of t.he celebrated case
contains nothing mc-re perplexing than
the question that was developed yes
terday. So puzzling Is it that Mayor
Schmitz has called the Election JCom
missioners # to meet at 11 o'clock to
morrow" morrilng for the purpose of
sizing up the Situation and, if possible,
devising a key to it.
Registrar Walsh is the chief charac
ter In the latest chapter of this inter
esting serial. Some time ago he was
commanded by the Elections Commit
tee of the lower house of Congress to
produce in Washington all the disputed
ballots in the contest, and yesterday he
complied with that demand to the ex
tent of shipping the ballots through
Wells. Fargo & Co.'s express to the
nation's capital, his intention being to
follow them there next Sunday and
take charge of them while they are
being used as evidence before the com
mittee. Late last evening, however,
Mayor Schmltz remembered that Mr.
Walsh's official term expires on Janu
ary 7. and that if he has charge of the
ballots after that date they will be in
the hands of a person who has no legal
right to hold them. As soon as this
discovery was made the Mayor's secre
tary, George Keer.e. telephoned to
Wells-Fargo to hold the ballots until
further orders, but there was nobody
In the express "impany's office quali
fied to obey the request, even if it were
not too late to do so, and the proba
bility is strong that the ballots are now
speeding toward Washington. -
Just v.hat the Election Commissioners
can do to disentangle the new compli
cation is a auestion which some legal
experts are trying to solve. It is said
that a few days ago Mr. Kahn, antici
pating iust such a move as Mr. Walsh
made yesterday, and foreseeing its con
sequences, suggested that Mr. Walsh
be appointed a special deputy registrar
to act without nay from January 7
until he returns from. Washington with
the ballots, but the Mayor was unable
to adopt the suggestion, because the
charter specifically provides that all
dep.uty registrars must be appointed
from the civil service list, and Mr.
Walsh is not on that list.
Perhaps the Election Commissioners
may find a way out by deciding that
Mr. Walsh's successor shall n*t be ap
pointed until he has restored the. miss
ing ballots to the Registrar's office, and
perhaps this remedy may be considered
inconvenient. If not found impractica
ble. •
. One thin? is certain 1 : The meeting
c-f the Election Commissioners to-mor
row morning will be more than usually
interesting.
The Board of Health yesterday ac
cepted .the resignations of Drs F T
Fitzgibbon and W. S. Hereford as'as
sistant, sanitary inspectors, and ap
pointed Frederick C. MuUer and Joseph
A u Kuykendall from the civil service
eligible list to succeed them. The Civil
faervice Commission only certified th«
name of one eligible for each vacancy"
the Healfh Board in the past having
insisted on three names from which to
make a selection. The name of William
H. Lamb alone was certified for market
inspector, and he was formally ap
pointed to the position, which he Is now
filling.
Dr. Buckley moved that the board
recede from its position demanding the
certification of three ellgibles. but the
motion was lost. President Casey op
posed such a course, saying that he
would never consent to permitting the
Civil Service Commission to constitute
itself arbitrarily the appointing power.
Several thirty-day appointments were
made of employes whose salary war
rants were disapproved by the Civil
Service Commission because th»ir
names were not certified for the"posi
tions they occupy. »
The resignation of Mrs. McGrath, ma
tron of the Emergency Hospital, was
accepted, but h*er successor was hot ap
pointed.
Owners of premises at 820 and »22
Clay street. 201 4 Polk street. *73S Mis

CHANGES ARE MADE IN
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Xew Squad Is Detailed for . Duty in
Chinatown District and Several
Transfers Are Ordered.
In addition to the changes in the
Police Department referred to in yes
terday's Call. Chief Wittman issued
an order yesterday making additional

Christiansen and squad will take their
places. The latter- squad consists of

tral police station and Sergeant Syl
vester will take Coogan's place in

geant J. B. Cook is detailed as acting

trict, to fill the vacancy caused by the

Making More Cell Accommodation.

scheme whereby he can obtain three
additional cells 14x11 feet each, which
will .hold sixty prisoners, if neces
sary. The booking desk has been
moved nearer the elevator and the
space behind the desk is being util
ized for 'the new cells. Work was

On Tuesday Emily Oliver' ran an ex
cellent race, although she did not fin
ish inside the money. On the strength*
of that performance and because of
having Tomniy Burns in the saddle the
mai'e ruled favorite for the first event.

start and at the wire'!his mount was
totena head 'by Nailah.a 6 to t
chance, piloted by.Kuhz. Idogo downed

for show honors.
. In the third, number, a six-furlong
selli-ng sprint. Tommy Burns had the
leg up on the even money •favorite Matt
Hogan. His "handling .of the gelding

Fisher's colt Jockey 'Club went to the
post a 4-to-5 favorite with Larsen in
Uie saddle and won all the way. Mc-
Grathiana Princo, .a 100-to-l shot, pi
loted' by the midget J. Jones, was the
runner . up throughout and downed
Lacy Crawford two lengths for fher
place. Rosarie has gone back, the mare
falling" out of • it in the stretch.
The little Texas flyer Burnie Bunton
fell an easy victim to- the prowess of
Rockaway in the five and. a half furlong
scramble. Burns rode Burnie and from
6 to 5 the price was hammered down
to 9 to. 10.' The favorite showed first
soon after the start and was quickly
Joined by Bell, astride Rorjcaway. The
latter two-year-old possessed, a swell
assortment^ speed a»d disposed af the
firs* choice cleverly by half a length,
¦despite the terrific finish Burns made.
Jack Martin, with Arabo. was third.
Xervator did rrot get o away from the
ba crier. •
.With the talent divided as to whether
Hoather Honpy or Caronal would win
the. closing mile and fifty yard event,
air . calculations wen? upset. Little
Kunt -went out at the start with Gor
galette, an S-to-1 chance, and was never
lieaded. Heather Honey, which went to
