The other three commissioners were present, constituting a quorum, but Secretary Skelly received word from Hagerty to postpone the meeting until this afternoon at. 1 o'clock, as he desired to be present and take part in the proceedings. Lieutenant Bernard McManus and Sergeant David W. Boyd 'were, in at tendance by request to be . promoted respectively to * a captaincy and lieu tenancy. They were asked to return this afternoon. While the three commissioners were in secret session Attorney Theodore Roche served them with a copy of a writ of review obtained by him on be half of Captain Mooney from Presid ing Judge Coffey ordering them to ap pear in Judge Seawell's court on Fri day, August 9, with the record of the proceedings at the trial of Captain Mooney and a transcript of the testi mony and judgment. The order of the court concludes as follows: "And we do further command you and each of you that in the meantime you desist from taking any proceedings in : rela- : tion-to, or upon, said charges, decision, judgment or penalty aforesaid." If. Is the Intention of the board to promote Lieutenant McManus this afternoon to fill the vacancy caused by the dismissal of Mooney, but a question has arisen as to whether the board: will do so legally in view of the order pf court and whether the board would not be In contempt of -court. Should McManus be promoted the court might hold that Mooney , was dismissed illegally,' and a complication would then 'ari.v.".: Mooney would have to be reinstate*, but McManus would still continue to hold the rank of cap tain, as the board would not have power under the charter, to'disrate McManus. The complication would be made greater 1 by the " fact' that the charter allows one captain for. every 100 men and there would be one cap tain too many. Mooneyes appeal f was taken under : a law passed by -the last legislature, which gives superior courts the power to review the proceedings of boards of police commissioners. Many attorneys question the constitutionality of this law, and Mooney's case will be made a test. The application for a writ of review filed by Mooney questions not only the charges on which , he was' tried, but alleges that the evidence on which he was dismissed from the force .was wholly insufficient to Justify such a penalty. Mooney asks the superior court to annul the verdict of the com-] mission. The troubles of Mooney* were begun soon- after he started a crusade against disorderly places in the red light district He was' haled before the police commission on a charge- of. in subordination, it being alleged that he had declared that he knew, that half of his men were .corrupt -and ; that he could do 'nothing; because the police commissioners were appointed "for. a purpose." Following the arraignment of Mooney he hurried to the superior court, and Judge Seawell decided that the complaint was defective. When Assistant City. Attorney John T. Wil liams drew a new complaint Mooney appealed to the superior court again, but Judge Sturtevant decided against him. Mooney was then tried, convicted and dismissed from the department. MOORE'S BOND JUST FILED New Police, Commissioner May Have Acted Illegally, in Mooney Case Although John ' X Moore, the new police commissioner, was appointed to office by Mayor. "Schmitz on June 22, he did not file his bond with- Recorder Nelson until last Wednesday and not until yesterday was it approved by that official. This act may be the grounds fora dispute in. the Mooney ease. and. should it be shown that Moore has been acting illegally as a police com-., missioner it may give Mooney a chance to appeal. . . ..-..- % Moore's, $5,000 bond. was' furnished by the United States. Surety, \u25a0 and Guar antee company. A strange thing about the bond is that, it was approved by Schmitz, .then mayor, and Auditor, Hbr tonon June 22, whereas the seal of the indemnity company- was not attached, according to the document, until June 25, or three days after its approval by the mayor; and -auditor.- . • .1 * Recorder Nelson stated . yesterday that Moore had presented his bond* for flllng-shortly after .Moore's "appoint ment to office, but that it. had not yet been certified to by- a notary, public, and that he had refused to ; record It until this, was done.; Moore had; then taken it , away, Nelson said, and had not brought it back until Wednesday, when he returned it with \u25a0 a notary's certificate and seal attached. ; : Whether this failure to file bond Jwill render any act : taken . thus far by Moore Illegal may have to be deter-, mined. There ' Is nothing in the , char ter ;that says the [ bond ; must- be. filed before an appointee . . takes office "br. whether, he shall wait until afterward, but the first provision of, the. bond states clearly that he does.'

Harrl- man will leave, for the Pacific- coast within a short time to' be gone four or five weeks." The, object of his trip aroused : some concern in Wall street, inasmuch. as there had been reports that the financial situation in San Fran cisco was not at all serene. It Is now more than a' year since Harriman .In spected the various properties of the Union .Pacific and Southern Pacific, and doubtless the affairs of these. roads and the - score .of ; affiliated concerns require attention ; at " this , ; time. I'JHis -point' out, however, that the last i year \u25a0 has_^ been . a \u25a0 trying one, full rOf* investigations, criticisms /..a n»i attacks.* "His "only holiday has been a short visit" to Newport, following the famous dividend declaration of August. 1906. Now when there is an oppor tunity to, take a vacation, he announces a "business trip to San Francisco.^ : The inference is drawn that the business demands are urgent. It' v is "pointed out that the business community/of San Francisco Is. now feeling 'the effects •. of the dreadful catastrophe /which occurred .in . the spring of last- year, tn addition the labor, troubles seriously have impaired the earning powers of great industries on the^coast,. and credit resources have been curtailed" greatly. It is believed Harrimah will' devote his energies and genius"; to improving the condition of affairs ' in ' and . around San \u25a0 Francisco. UNION PACIFIC DIVIDENDS .
