EVIDENCE IS FOUND
TO KILL SOUTH PARK
CLAIM OF SANDERSON
Ordinance Allowing $20,000
Is Discovered to Be Not
Properly Signed
SUIT NOW REOPENED
Acting Mayor Gallagher Is
Interrupted and Fails to
Affix Full Name
Through the reopening of the manda
mus suit of A» A. Sanderson against
City Auditor Horton. which was re
cently submitted for decision, Maurice
K. Asher. attorney for the Auditor, ex-
pects to prora conclusively that San-
derson Is not entitled to the $20,000
ywhich he demands on an assignment of
the old claim of the Gordon heirs to a
p~ortion of South Park. The order set
ting aside the submission was made
yesterday by Judge Seawell on motion
of Attorney Asher,- and the way is now
cleared for the introduction of newly
discovered evidence. \u0084
In opposition to Sanderson's claim
it will be urged that both the ordinance
-and xi\fi resolution on which his de
mand Is based are of no effect, one be-
cause Its terms were not carried out.
and the other because it was never
signed, vetoed or pocketed by the
Mayor. The ordinance In question w«.s
passed In November, 1902, and the orig
inal document was destroyed in the big
fire. After a long: search the Auditor
and his attorney found a/printed copy
of the ordinance in a newspaper filed
away In the Sutro library. By the
terms of this ordinance. all documents
relating: to the title to the land in dis
pute were to be turned over to the city
when the final payment was made, but
the ordinance limited the time of pay-'
ment and transfer. The date fixed was
December 31, 1903.
As nothing: was done Attorney Asher
trill introduce the ordinance in evi
dence to support his contention that it
lends no strength to Sanderson's claim.
The resolution, on which Sanderson
obtained the demand thatswas rejected
by Auditor Horton, was passed July 1,
1905, while Supervisor James L. Gal
lagher was tiptoeing: around in the
Mayor's shoes. At the present moment
this resolution is pasted. in one of Aud
itor Horton's letter' books. It went to
the Auditor by mistake Immediately
after It was passed and has been In his
possession ever since. There is no sig
nature on it, only the capital letter
"J," suggesting: that Gallagher had
•started to write his name, when some
one came in with an offering so attrac
tive that he put out both hands and
forgot the resolution before him.
When the mandamus case comes up
for further evidence the defense will
seek to prove that Sanderson took both
the resolution and his demand to the
acting Mayor, but in his haste got only
i the demand signed. By mistake the
resolution went to the Auditor, \u25a0with the
demand, and a new clerk filed It away
instead of sending it back to the Board !
of Supervisors. It was recently found
and will be Introduced in court as part
of . the proof that Sanderson's claim
has no standing in law.
HOLIDAY IS NOT FAVORED
Supervisors Coleman and McGushin
agreed yesterday to report adversely on
the resolution Introduced by Tveltmoe
declaring April 18 a legal holiday to
commemorate the great disaster. The
two first named took the ground that
the holiday, if declared, would inter
fere with the business interests, but
decided, to await *Tveitmoe's presence
at next Monday's meeting of the spe
cial committee before taking formal
action in the matter. .
APPOINT EIGHT TRUCKMEN
The Fire Commissioners yesterday
appointed Richard Curtin, William S.
Shulock, C. J. McMahan, James G. Rog
ers, Robert E. Westwater, Daniel J.
O'Cornxor. James W. Cole and Cornelius
Collins from the civil service list. as
truckmen in the department.

FIRETRAP DAVIS TRIES
TO ESCAPE THROUGH
LEGAL TECHNICALITIES.
Resists Attempt ' to Correct
'- Evil at His Flimsy
Theater
AN INGENIOUS BRIEF
Attorney McGowan Points
Out Alleged Defects in
Complaint
That Sam Davis has no intention of
doing anything . to • convert his flretrap
theater into one of .comparative safety
was. 'shown yesterday when his case
was called befone Judge Weller in De
partment 1 of th,e^Police Court.
Davis is accused- of violating an or
dinance of -the Board of .Supervisors;
he Is accused of running a potential
charnel house; he Is accused of operat
ing a theater which by the touch. of a
match would be converted Into a flam
ing brand. "He answers' these ' fearful
charges -with a technicality and keeps
his house open. He - takes no more
shame for his death-inviting doors than
for his boodle-inviting palm. He wants
more money and limps into court to an
swer to the. law with, a technicality,
tacitly admitting . his "cupidity,' but
pleading for a loophole.
The complaint signed by T. P.
jO'Dowd, State secretary of : the Hiber
nian Society, was demurred to yester
day, and in support of the demurrer
submitted by Frank . McGowan, ; Davlß'
attorney, was a brief containing the
best that Davis could think of, couched
in the phraseology of .legal lore as
mastered by McGowan.
Here Is some of Davis* offering to ap
pease the wrath of : a community Jeop^
ardized by his greed for gain: •
The complaint is insnfflclent when it states
"that the ceilings and walls of said bulMins
are not constructed of 'fireproof •material." --for
the reason that that is simply an . allegation of
a conclusion of the pleader. It was uul versnll y
conceded prior to April 18, 1906, that manj
buildings In this city were- fireproof ; however,
many of these buildings bnrn*d. About the only
thinrs in the city that turned out to <be fire
proof were the safe~ deposit yaults." '
DAVIS' FORLORN HOPE
/Davis burrows another hole through
which he hopes to squirm his way to
safety. He pleads that', it ."does not
follow, that because a building may, at
the present time violate the provisions
of an ordinance It violated -'them
upon a date long prior thereto."
His forlorn hope Is that he may de
feat the many complaints which \will be
sworn to by various citizens who; have
vowed to close up his flretrap. To the
layman the clause will serve as a con
fession, not only of : the : . assumed com
mission of wrong *on March '4,- but' on
April 6 as "well. Davis hopes that two
wrongs make a rightand do not mu
tually prove his "offense. \u25a0 \u25a0 ~
The brief submitted by Attorney. Me-
Gowan for. Davis also' alleges that the
provisions of - the Penal Code are vio
lated in the complaint inasmuch as dif
ferent offenses are charged . against
Davis in the same count. *;; "Itt.would
take entirely different proof,", says Me-
Gowan, "to show that the ceilings and
walls of the _bulldlng were .not con
structed of. fireproof material from; that
which would be required. to;. prove that
the' roof Was 'not made of steel 'and
Iron and fireproof material." T
. Another point made in the brief Is
that ordinance 88, which' Is \u25a0: Involved,*
does not specifically state that the ceil
ing of the theater proper must be made
of fireproof . material ; that this phrase
relates to frontage and courts; and that
the only place *_where the word celling
Is used in the ordinance is *in^. connec
tion with v "a separate Corridor."
"Then," concludes the clause, "the com
plaint does not' say one word "about the
ceilings referred \u25a0 to being • the ceilings
of a separate corridor." - ; . \u25a0
ALLEN'S 'CONSTRUCTION
. The, spirit of the ordinance 'ls plain;
however, to Attorney. John 1" P.:; All en,
who, with other members of the United
Irish Societies, ' is flghtlngr I the - ; battle.
He does not ".believe that an ordinance
framed by rational beings 'would ; "pro-;

Any woman who^
ever lived in a iniri

Board! of i "Works, which, ' to " meet the

sired ; to " let contracts^ for \u25a0 the construc
tion of frame school buildings.', instead
of the ;brlck buildings; called* for in .the
ordinance. .'The, City "Attorney, found
that^such a deviation would be illegal.
OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY
:.> Burke." dealt "with the Question as
follows: . '..•','
"In. my ; opinion 1 it Is' impossible to deviate in
any substantial manner from the .objects and
purposes *of - that : ordinance,-- either 'as " to the
character of the building or asto the'eoet. " For
Instance, , it \u25a0 was '•\u25a0 provided by the ordinance that
bonds . should :. be . lsoned' and ; sold to . the extent
of $81,000,% the estimated -cost 'of. and for the
construction ' of • a • brick ' building , for • the Monroe
School.lM^KSHHSflmißM|Sfc«jgMß£W<*W"¥^
• I Km informed .that' the; contract- which it Is 1
proposed, to: " let ; for ; the ; construction of that
building j provides for a frame or \u25a0 wooden bulld
injc at: a cost of $91,000. -Here is a substantial
and material r.variatlon; from '.the - requirements \
of ' the ordinance nnder and bytwhich th« bonds
were \u25a0 voted and issued: This ; cannot -be '"\u25a0 done.
If such : a variation \ could be ' made . there - would
be ., no > limit > whatsoever, . and the whole pur
pose ' and ; object ; of • the ordinance • would be . de- i
feated... -\u25a0\u25a0•-. :• -. . ; .A •--,\u25a0:.'\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0.- •" ."\u25a0. \u25a0 ;.--' -:;>>- v :
- : ~ The ordinance - required • the construction 7of
brick .- buildings ; and -;\u25a0 not . frame buildings, : and
because ; of the '\u25a0 hl»h price ' of building "material
that character of structure cannot be made with
in the estimates, or within the amount of money
for .which the • bonds ' could be t sold. The ' ob
jects *: and , purposes .of - the , bond ; are thus ; de
featfd or made impossible of execution.- •.\u25a0;".','
•I '\u25a0 tlteref ore suggest \u25a0. that \ your •. board make no
further \u25a0 efforts >to let contracts » for : the construc
tion rof \u25a0 these ; school biilldlngs ; alon? the lines"
proposed, and?" which -are- in. sach radical con
flict;wlth the "-requirements .of the bond issue

it wonld b^. unfair to contractors 'tq, invite them

SOLtITIOX OP THEriJBOBLEM:
The situation -takes 'on additional
gravity because! of ; the ; futility,' for!the
present," of '., the generous ; response made
by the local - labor unions v which L sub
scribed 'money 'to" purchase the » bonds.
When 5 ; the i securities "went .begging : , in.
the open r market and capital fought shy
