NARROW ESGAPE OF MAN
WHO MADE WRONG COUNT
Miscalculates the Number of
Loads in Revolver and
Shoots Self *
A miscalculation as to the number
of cartridges carried In his new re
volver nearly cost Edward F. Conter,
a building contractor, his life yester
day morning. Conter, •who Is a well
known resident of Burllngame, was
discussing liquor and his weapon, an
automatic affair, in a barroom at the
corner of McAllister and Franklin
streets. .He was explaining the merits
of the gun to two companions — James
O'Xeill, 551 Third avenue, and Attor
ney Ford, son-in-law of acting Mayor
Gallagher — and In doing so took the
.magazine, containing eight cartridges,
lout of Its place, and with the remark,
{"It wouldn't go off even If a railroad
, train should run over Its bearer and
-cut him Into bits." pressed the muzzle
!to his right temple and pulled the
; trigger.
Conter had forgotten that one car
tridge still remained in the barrel of
I the weapon even after he had removed
( the. magazine, and the act was fol-
| lowed by a loud report. He sank to
\u25a0the floor and when picked up blood
was flowing freely from the wound.
'He was taken to the Central Emerg
iensey Hospital, a block distant, where
the wound was found to be superfl
'cial, the bullet having struck the
frontal bone and glanced away with
out having penetrated the brain.

Works Board Sponsor
fo r the Firetraps
Grand Jury Places Responsibility \u25a0 and
Commissioners May Be Indicteci
Responsibility for the construction
and operation of flretrap theaters In
violation of city ordinances Is to be
placed rrlth the Hoard of Public Works
by the Grand Jury and Indictments
charging: conspiracy to break the law
may be brought ajralnst the ' three
Commissioners, President George Duf
fey, Edward Alseltlnger and Thomna
At the hoar when the Grand Jury.
Tras determining;, the culpability of the
Works Board yesterday afternoon that
body with great unction and solemnity
adopted a comprehensive - resolntlon
freeing- itself, of all blame anil cronn
lnjt Secretary : Louis Levy ] and Mayor
Sohmltr. vt-lth. the obloquy of having
permitted playhouses 'to be constructed
which are a menace to patrons.
The opinion of- the Grand Jury was
reached after a long investigation and
was expressed by Foreman B. P.'Ollver
when the body adjourned last 'evening
to meet again on Tuesday next.
THEATEKS MAY BE CLOSED
As a result of the jury's decision and
the dodging of responsibility by the
Board of Public Works the dangerous
theaters may be closed.- The board,
suddenly grown cautious, adopted a
resolution instructing the Tax Collec
tor that certain theaters were existing
without permit. President Duffey took
water like a duck, admitting that he
had ordered Secretary Levy to issue
permits for the places . which were
violating the ordinances, but agreeing
with his colleagues that only Levy and
Mayor Schmitz should be held respon
sible for disguised flretraps. The find
ing of the Board of Works was that
permits for the deadly Davis and the
Empire and the Novelty were issued
•by the Mayor and that Secretary Levy
.was to blame for the existence -of the
Colonial, Mission, Wigwam /and Van
Ness. .., ' ' ; \u25a0 ""' - -
The chief building inspector was in
structed to stop work on .any theater
building on which the ordinance was
being violated— a ruling which may]
prevent the openings of the Van . Ness.
ALLEGED CONTRACT DODGING
In addition to the theater problem
the ;. Grand Jury commenced an , Inquiry,
yesterday into the action of. the. Board
of Works In haying allowed the Bar
ber Asphalt Company to withdraw
from an unprofitable contract .-on
Montgomery street and continue . an
easy job on Sixteenth street. The
corporation is working/ under \u0084 two
contracts with the board, /one to re
place pavements removed where sewer
work is being done, the consideration
being $25,000, and the other to repair
streets at a cost of $4500. Payments
are made progressively. ; The Grand
Jury is investigating the relations be
tween the company and . the city, .on
the suspicion that the Barber Asphalt
men have a sub rosa agreement with
the Board of Works that they shall not
be forced to perform any. work at« a
loss. The subject was taken up while
Secretary Louis Levy was on; the
stand. ..'" - V . \u0084: . -; . '%*
John Horgan, chief building inspector
of the Board of Works, was the first
witness examined by Assistant District
Attorney Francis J. Heney. He >aid
that he , had made no report ito . the
board or to Secretary Levy, on the Van
Ness Theater, a" permit -for which was
• issued by -Levy at the inspiration ' of
President Duffey. Horgan explained
that reports were made only on build
ings which complied with ordinances
and those whose, owners made no pre
tention to legal construction were not
considered by the inspectors.
DAVIS' IDEA OP SAFETY
E. E. Howell, proprietor of the Cen
tral Theater, testified that he had pro
cured a proper permit from the Board
of Works for his theater and a license
from the Tax Collector's office. ' ;- <
Melville Marx of the .Van\Ness The
ater, or New Columbia, as it is some
times called, had been subpenaed, but
did not testify; neither did Martin
Kurtzig of the Colonial Theater. Super
visor Sam Davis, whose theater is con
sidered the worst of the* flretrap play
houses, was allowed to await the pleas
ure of the jury before appearing in
the' witness room. Davis amused him
self by sitting in the lobby and explain
ing that no patrons of his place of
amusement -were In the least danger of
cremation,, because the Davis Theater
was erected : in June, fifteen days before
the; building ordinance went into effect.
The .Jury took a recess in the after
noon and -went to Judge Coffey's court
to return 'an indictment for embezzle
ment against Parsons Kelville, the one
time cashier of Livingston, Bros., who is
accused of having taken $755 belonging
to the' firm. ti He is under .- arrest in
Brooklyn. .:
On its return to the jury room, Louis
Levy was .Examined. He said that :he
had issued^ permits for the Colonial,
Mission, "Wigwam and Van Ness thea
ters on. the ' recommendation of Pres
ident Duffey. .Heney and Levy had a
tilt over 'the 'legal right of the' latter
to issue such permits without an order
from the entire board sitting at a
meeting. Levy maintained that he had
to take, orders from" the Commissioners
and'had no power to exercise discrimi
nation.
MAY SUE COMMISSIONERS
"If any such permit is issued in the
future," warned Heney, "I shall bring
a suit against the commissioners to
forfeit, their bonds for misconduct in
office." ": "
Levy was instructed by the jury to
prepare a report on the chimney in
spection : bureau, which flourished so
extensively after the day of tumbling
chimneys.- He said that the fees^re
ceived for the inspection of chimneys
went into the general fund, and the
inspectors were paid out of . that ac
count.
Chester Keogh, assistant secretary of
the Board of Works, a civil service
appointee,- identified \, records of the
board -.and Deputy Tax Collector Miller
preserkediEkcldltional records of his de
partment. * 4i $ | @rl^?ia w
While the Grand Jury was meeting In
'Native -. Sons' Hall the Board of Public
Works was > busily applying- a coat of
calcimine to it's official personnel. When
it had finished It simulated a clear con
science.
President Duffey had the grace to ad
mit;. that he had Instructed Levy to
issue permits to, Wigwam and Van Ness
theaters, but the board absolved .him
and itself. by passing the resolution to
the £ effect that " the Tax Collector jbe
notified , that ..the records of the, board
did noti show.- that permits were ever
issued to those places, or to the Empire,
Lyric, Novelty, Colonial, Mission, Na
tional and Central.
TEXT OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution of the board follows:

ACCOUNTS ILLY KEPT
Other Heads May Fall as
Result of the Recent
Investigation
1 The fact that Appraiser John T. Dare
of the custom house would be asked to
resign, as told exclusively in Tuesday's
Call, was verified yesterday on tho
floor of the custom house, when It was
learned that Senator Perkins had writ-;
ten to Dare that his retirement was de
sired and must not be later than July 1.
Those. who are on the inside of cus
tom house affairs state also that with
this letter, sent to Dare by Perkins,
was. enclosed one ;to Senator Perkins
from the Treasury Department contain
ing data gathered at \u25a0 the local port of
fices. This letter is' said to criticise se
verely the clerical and accounting
methods employed in the appraiser's of
fice.
Confirmation of these facts yesterday
on . the floor of the custom house only
added to the consternation rife In the
various departments of the Federal Im
post business in San Francisco.

other officials feel like dodging the

LEASE MADE BY BAIRD
REPUDIATED BY SISTER
Mrs. Sproule Cause of Suit
Instituted by Real
Estate Firm
David J. Baird is belnsr sued in the
sum of $850 by the real estate firm
of Brown & Holllway for breach of
contract for the lease to the building
which the Baird estate Intends to erect
in . Mission street near New Montgom
ery. It is to be a five-story and base
ment building.
\u25a0 Brown and Holliway allege that they
secured a tenant at the sum agreed
upon and' that Baird signed. the lease.
Everything proved satisfactory till
Mrs. William Sproule, a sister of Baird,
arrived, j She repudiated the lease, \u25a0 de
claring that the rental was . not high
enough.
When Brown & Holllway went to
Baird and told him that they had his
signed contract, and that the estate
would have to live up to its lease,, he
is alleged to have replied:
"Well, you see, I had no authority to
sign the contract and so it -will not
hold good.". ,'. , \u25a0;. $>:;; . ; •\u25a0\u25a0-\u25a0\u0084
j Brown '& Holliway wish to learn
through, the medium of the courts
whether David. J. Baird can make con
tracts In behalf of the Baird estate
and ' then abrogate them because his
sister does not like the terms.
SAYS PRICES WERE TOO HIGH
A suit for the discharge of a re
ceivership, brought by M. Abraham
against Charles Zeno, his former part
ner, in an art store at 1539 Bush street,
was tried and taken under advisement
in Judge Mogan's court yesterday. The
partnership was . dissolved on j Decem
ber 4 last year,. with an'agreement that
Zeno was to act as a receiver and dis
pose of the stock, '\u25a0 valued at $5000.
Abraham claims that Zeno lowered
prices to such an extent' that losses
resulted, and Zeno, while admitting
that he made, reductions, declares that
the former prices - wer so high that
no one would purchase the goods.

STEAL POSTOFFICE RAIL
Thieves Boldly Carry Off Bronze
From Government Structure
Owing to the fact that the Treasury
Department has provided but one night
watchman for the pbstbfflce and Gov
ernment building at Seventh and Mis
sion streets, junk thieves have been
given an opportunity.- Several '-.weeks
ago they stole \u25a0 the ; top of a bronze
railing from the steps; leading to- the
basement on the Stevenson street side.
The piece of bronze weighed about
100 pounds and was worth $30..
Last Tuesday evening the thieves
made another visit and wrenched off
a twenty-five pound piece of the re
mainder, of the railing, valued at $7.50.
They also loosened a bronze newel post
at the bottom of the steps, but it was
too heavy to add to the load, and the
thieves left It for another night.
