that it is inadvisable to limit the con

ter also advises against Intrusting the

nicipal architectural office on the
ground that It will . result In medioc

Into the United States through British

But the men then took the women to
New Westminster, B. C, and brought
them over to the American side at 2
o'clock one morning in a fishing boat.
From, that point they came to this city
by • rail. Inspector . Geffeney, who is
also an interpreter of Japaneese, came
to this city with .warrants last Tues

A tin box in the possession of Alan
A. McAlpin when he died at, Jiminez,
Mexico, was the object of a fultless
journey in quest of a supposed for
tune. The facts are set forth in the
report of John W. McAlpin, accom
panying, his final account as adminis
trator of Alan A. McAlpin's estate,
filed yesterday in the' Superior Court
The administrator states that he
had reason to believe that Alan A. Mc-
Alpin had* possessed considerable
property, and the tin box which Alan
had at the time of his death was sup
posed to contain valuable papers and
a will. The State of Chihuahua de
clined to surrender the box or to fur
nish any information regarding its
contents, so the administrator sent H.
L. Paddock, an attorney, to Mexico to
investigate. Padodck had a personal
acquaintance with Ygnaclo Sepulveda,
legal adviser of President Porfirio
Diaz, and Sepulveda is said to have
deplored the bad state of affairs re
garding the custody of the tin box
and assured Paddock that he would
have no more^trojible in getting it.
Being thus assured Paddock ap
pointed a citizen of Mexico, W. H.
Searles, to look after the case, but
when Searles forwarded the contents
of the tin box it was found that there
was no will nor any evidences of a
fortune. So, according to the admin
istrator's report, the estate of McAl
pin consists only of. $783 64 cash and
160 acres of land in San Luis Obispo
County, valaed at S1000.
Administrator of McAlpin Estate
Tells of Fruitless Trip of«At
" torncy to Mexico.'
At this point another tilt occurred
between opposing counsel. The court
admonished the attorneys that Bide re
marks would no longer be tolerated.
After a futile effort on the part of the
defense to force the witness to admit
he was under pay of the Police Depart
ment, the case was continued until
Monday morning.
The witness said he was familiar
with' the warehouse and the piles of
wheat and was positive that the grain
on which Jacob Eppinger borrowed
money in April of 1903 was shipped to
a foreign port In December of 1902. The
witness had not counted the sacks in
the piles and had not weighed the
grain, but got his information by look-
Ing over the shoulder .of the weigher
while he was making entrles t In his
book.
Williams' testimony regarding the
manner of doing business in the ware
house was corroborative of others, who
swore that affairs were conducted in
a loose manner. The numbers on re
ceipts were frequently disregarded and
orders and reports were taken by tele
phone. He recalled the time when pile
709 had been shipped instead of 710 and
said that Chief Inspector Bunker had
been telephoned to regarding the sub
stitution and was satisfied, as the
quantity and quality of grain In the
piles were identical. Concerning the
lots of wheat on which the money was
borrowed and on which the indictment
is based the witness gave detailed tes
timony.
"At any time between December 5
and April 25 were there any piles
marked 706, 707 and 708?" was asked.
"Yes," was, the reply.
"Did not each option pile have Its
own lot number?"
Robert Williams, a deputy grain in
spector for the Merchants* Exchange,
occupied the stand yesterday in the
case against Jacob Eppinger, charged
with obtaining money under false pre
tenses. On the direct examination his
testimony was damaging to the de
fense. On cross-examination by Henry
Ach an effort was made to show bias
on the part of the witness and in thia
he succeeded to some extent when
Williams admitted that his expenses
had been paid by Detective Gibson
while they were searching for James
Deming, superintendent of the ware
house at Crockett. He stated positive
ly, however, that aside from this he
had never received a cent from the
Police Department nor/ had he been
promised any money. /
The same fiddle that squeaked on the
Fidehills.of Tuolumne County in "the
days of old, the days of gold, the days
of '<9," feebly echoed memories of the
past at Golden Gate Park yesterday.
Circled about the gray-haired fiddler,
Jim Fuller, were men and women who
had heard the strains of the battered
instrument when it inspired boisterous,
healthy amusement in the golden days.
It brought back to them the gulches
and the little cabins of the mining
camps. While their children and their
grandchildren chattered merrily about
them they were silent, looking through
dim eyes back over the waste of yes
terday to the time when every one in
Tuolumne owned a million — in the
ground.
The old violin squeaked tales that
outdid anything in fiction. It told of
the big-armed miners, the true-hearted,
courageous i>ioneer women, of the all
absorbing quest of gold, of loves and
fighting. Even the chattering of those
who did not know grew subdued as the
venerable fiddler bowed over his instru
ment in the "Days of Old."
Then gray-haired miners rose and,
leaning on their canes, spoke words
that even Bret Harte could not chron
icle. " 'Twas out of Chinese Camp.
Pete Smith, he was my pardner. Every
one here knows Pete. He's dead now —
Vent up in a blast. Well, me and Pete
lived off the burro for a week. Then
we boiled the hoofs. Just when we was
trying to chew the bones we struck it.
The dust lasted three weeks in Frisco —
we had to throw some in the bay to get
rid of it. But we dumped it all. We
knew there was lots more in Tuol
umne." ; -)',
So ran the tales.
Reminiscences that thrilled and
brought tears to the eyes were told of
the old mining camps — Sonora, Jim
town, Shaws Flat, ScrapervIIle, Pine
Log. Chinese Camp and Poverty Flat.
Each had its tale; all were worth hear
ing. The "Old Friends of Tuolumne"
ivtll meet again next year.

At the meeting of the Fire Commis
sioners yesterday a communication
was received from Colonel A. "^An
drews of the Diamond Palace asking
permission to present a gold watch to
the valiant fireman. President New
hall of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children tendered a
bronze medal to the hero. A check
for $25 from the California Fruit
Canning Company, where Mrs. Massa
was employee!, was sent to the Fire
Commission to be presented to En
gelke.
The Fire Commissioners recom
mended that Mayor Schmitz send En
gelke to the St. Louis World's Fair as
an exemplar of the kind of men who
compose the' San Francisco Fire De
partment. In addition the commis
sion granted him two months' leave of
absence with full pay.
Dynamite will soon be among the
fire-fighting weapons of the San Fran
cisco Fire Department. The Fire Com
missioners made application yesterday
to the military, authorities for permis
sion to store quantities of the explo
sive. In event of a great conflagration
it Is indispensable that the department
should have it on. hand. The value of
dynamite in blocking fires has already
been proved in the East.

I call the board's attention also to the fact
that there is no limitation, restriction or no
tification to the Auditor concerning civil ser
vice eligible list.* as applied to this commit
tee's expenditures.
I wish bere to emphasize the fact that
where civil service provisions apply the offi
cial in whose department the employes are to
be employed .will be presumed to : follow the
law and where such provisions do not apply
he cannot be compelled by a declaration of the
budget to make them comply. ¦.. ;¦-.
- \\ hile the Twin Peaks auxiliary water sup
ply- system for Increased fire protection, for
which $150,000 is appropriated, is a desirable
and perhaps, under present conditions, a
necessary expenditure. I wish to call the at
tention of the Board of Supervisors to th* fact
that the Spring- Valley Waier Works Is col
lecting from the city ,_every year, a large
amount of money for such fire protection, and
that In nxing its rates hereafter. If this
auxiliary system shall be Installed, there
should be deducted from the amount now al
lowed ¦ that company for, such' fire .protection
the cost of operatinr the- auxiliary system to
gether with Interest and. ¦ proportion of costs of
construction thereof. ' "
.The company clearly Is not entitled to col
lect rates on the ordinance of 1902-1903. and
as it has itself caused to be suspended by la-
I hereby disapprove and veto the following
words In the Item relating to sanitary measures
in the dUtrict known as Chinatown, to wit:
"A special committee of the Board of Super
visors with, the advice of." leaving the ex
penditure of the appropriation of $10,000 to the
State and City Boards of Health and the United
States Marine Hospital Servlc* at this
pott, on the ground that I such expenditure
should for be«t results properly t» made by
the various health authorities.
In this connection also, I wish to call the
attention of the board to the fact that no
civil service restrictions were attempted to be
placed on the employment of the men who
were to receive the moneys to be expended by
the special committee of the Board of Super
visors for such work, although for similar
work by other departments civil service noti
fications, limitations and restrictions were
liberally applied. • -V- ¦••¦
I am also informed that the chairman of
the Public Utilities Committee has employed
clerical help without application to, or rec
ommendation by. the Mayor or without the
affirmative vote of fourteen members of the
Board of Supervisors, as required by the char
ter, and that he has failed to select the same
from "any civil service lists, although In. open
board a very fervent advocate of the applica
tion of civil service provisions to other munic
ipal departments, and I am further Informed
that one of his appointees is not a resident of
the city and county of San Francisco. By
what right or authority the chairman of thia
committee has created and appointed to public
positions these employes I do not know.
NO LIMITATIONS NOTED.
CLEANING OF CHINATOWN.
The members who are responsible - for the
drafting of this budget have zealously labored
to fasten upon every department Involving re
sponsibility to the Mayor of the city the bur
den of doing work with employes not of their
own selection, taken arbitrarily from lists of
men, many of whom are absolutely unfit prop
erly to do the work expected of them, while
In the departments friendly with and of the
same political party as the members referred
to. and Indeed, hi the matters under their
own Immediate control, they have been very
careful not to provide these restrictions.
I have no fault to find with the principles
of civil service reform. If the practice ac
corded with the theory a beautiful govern
mental fa brio could be created; but when men
taken from the civil service lists rejoice In
their disloyalty to the administration of which
they are a part when they write letters to
public officials recommending applicants for
employment upon the sole ground that they are
political enemies of the Mayor of the city,
I think it high time to express a disapproval
of conditions which would In no private bus
iness enterprise be tolerated even for a mo
ment and which do not make for the best In
terests of the city..
EMPLOYES ARE UNFIT.
I wish to call the attention of the members
of the board and also of the people of San
Francisco to the manifest petty political re
taliations and unconcealed hypocrisy which
are apparent In the construction and presenta
tion of this budget. In every department of
the city administration which is directed by
officials who owe their appointment to the
Mayor of San Francisco the figures of the ap
propriation have been calculated with such
subtlety and with such restriction, as seri
ously to impair their efficient operation and
almost to cripple their admfnlstratlon. while in
departments controlled by the political col
leagues of the gentlemen who drafted the
budget liberality and indeed extravagance are
easily to be found. „ .
The following items were reduced by
the amount set opposite to them in the
vetoes of the Mayor: •
Public convenience station. Fifth street,
$7500; electric elevator. City Hall. »760O: new
stenographer. Board of Supervisors, *1200;
Finance Committee, expert services, $8000; ad
vertislns, $1000; law books for public offices.
$1000; expenses in acquiring public utilities,
$3000; maintenance of minors in non-secta
rian institutions, $5000; premiums on official
bonds, $1475; expenses of eult of Spring \a.
ley Water Company. $15,000; driving tenders
and dolphins at Third-street bridge, $3000.
Total reduction, $53,675.
The Mayor's veto ran in part as fol
lows:
Under the rules the veto message will
be officially printed once and will then
be referred to the Finance Committee
for a report. When the message comes
before the board it will require fifteen
Supervisors to override the specific
vetoes. Booth and Payot are away,
and it is likelv that the vetoes will be
sustained by the votes of Finn, Rea,
Lunstedt and Boxton.
MESSAGE TO 'BE PRINTED.
- In reducing the appropriation of $25,
000 to $10,000 for defending the Spring
Valley Water Company's suit against
the city the Mayor says he will with
draw his veto If the money Is used to
bring an action to settle the water rate
controversy.
right to dictate In the premises, as the
law must be obeyed without any out
side interference.
Junction tho rates for 1903-1901 there are. In
my opinion, do rates which It can enforce or
collect, and I believo that during the past
year th» Spring Valley Water Works has be«n
collecting Its -water bills illegally from th«
rate payers and water consumers of San Fran
cisco and any one of them, in my opinion, has
th» right to refuse payment of any rates base!
on the ordinance of 1902-1903. When the Su
pervisors this year passed an ordinance, tlx
lag water rates for 1904-19C5 the Spring Val
ley Water Works began another action similar
in kind to the action of the former year and
will nndoubtedly proceed to collect Its water
bills as during the past year upon the basis
of the rates of two years ago.
The Mayor vetoed all the clauses Jn
the budget directing that money ap
propriated for salaries shall be used
only for civil service employes. He
contends that the Supervisors have no
Mayor Schmitz yesterday transmitted
to the Board of Supervisors his veto
message on the municipal budget for
the next fiscal year. The appropria
tions vetoed or reduced by the Mayor
aggregate^ the small sum of $53,675,
which is much less than was expected.
The Mayor explains that there are a
number of Items he deems unjust which
he would have vetoed, but it would
be futile, as the appropriations so elim
inated could not be used for other pur
poses.

with scoring: the Board of Supervisors

appointees have supervision, and claim

cratic majority of the Board of Super
visors were treated in a liberal man

On one of his periodical visits to -the
racing tracks of the Pacific Coast he
met Miss Hopkins, and love ensued.
They were married and an ideal life of
married happiness, according to their
friends, has been the result.
What steps, are to be taken to vindi
cate Mrs. Quinn's good name and dis
pel all the rumors connecting her with
a low intrigue remains to be deter
mined. The reports connecting her
with the attempted suicide in St.
Louis are strongly resented by her rel
atives in this city.
Relatives and friends of Mrs. Charles
Quinn in this city are indignant at the
stories printed in a local morning paper
of accounts of her attempted suicide
in St. Louis. As a matter of- fact Mrs.
Quinn has never been in St. Louis and
is now with her husband in Chicago,
living in a handsomely furnished flat
at 5731 Madison avenue, one of the
swellest residence districts of the mid-
Eastern metropolis.
Whoever the unfortunate woman was
in St. Louis, who shot herself for love
of a bartender, it was not the wife of
Charles Quinn. - On May 1 Quinn and
his wife left San Francisco for an
Eastern trip and went first to, the Au
ditorium Hotel Annex in Chicago. Two
weeks later they removed to a flat on
Madison avenue. - Never at any time
were they in St. Louis.
Mrs. Quinn was formerly Miss Belle
Hopkins, niece of E. W. Hopkins of
this city and heiress to $1,000,000 under
the will of Mark Hopkins, one of the
"big four" who constructed the Central
Pacific line. She is said to be in the
receipt of $1000 a month as an income
from her property. Two years ago she
met and married Charles Quinn, who
was "bred in old Kentucky" and car
ried in his strain the love of pretty
women and fast horses that comes
from birth and breeding in the blue
Grass meadows.
