tinuing his remarks in MT. Hills direction said he wanted to have his information from the city engineer. It was about the Mechanic street sewer affair.
 MT. Hill then spoke substantially as fol lows: MT. Kent, then superintendent of | streets, called his attention first to this. l He said that he noticed one of MT. At waters teams earting from the Mechanic street sewer and asked If it were all right. He, MT. Hill, said if it was being done that it was all wrong, and he went up next day and asked the inspector about the facts and told him to state it.
 Another time MI. Dillon reported that he had stopped one of MT. Atwater's teams do- ing the same thing and was severely repri- manded by MT: Atwater. He expressed some surprise that commissioned would allow such thing and spoke to Mir. At water, who told him that it was none of his business. MT. Hill then in reply said that he considered it his duty to protect the city's interests as being in charge of the department, and he would do so.
 MT. Sullivan-Why, then, didn't you bring this matter before the boardg
 MT. HiI-It was an unpleasant affair and did not want to. MT. Sullivan-Wasn't it your duty, if 8 | commissioner did such thing and re- fused to stop, to bring it before this | boarda
 Mir. Hill-You are mistaken in your pre- 1 misses. He did stop.
 MT. Brown-Do you know of any other times when the property of the city has been taken for private business? MT. Hill, after some thought, recollected 1 another instance.
 | MT. Sullivan wanted to know what was the value of the filling taken by Mir. At water.
 ] Mr. Atwater stated that he had given permission to the sewer contractor to 1 dump sand on his premises and had pre- 1 viously given the city three loads from his own land and that he was only taking
 hack his own.
 l Here MT. Brown said, meaning MT. At
 water, "Our company must have quite a
 claim against the city" l MT. Todd-How much have you re-
 ceived in the way of compensation for out
 side work.
 MT. Hill consider that private mat ter; but will say that it has been very little.
 Among those to appear before the board was Felix Chillingworth, who came to urge the extension of Mott street. The city engineer was called upon and the big
 city map consulted. The matter will be | further considered at the next meeting. 1 MT. Doyle came to say that it was of the
 greatest necessity for the city to purchase
 new steam road roller. He said that
 with the one they now have it would be
 impossible to keep the roads in good con
 dition. The roller has been kept busy sev-
 eral weeks for few blocks only on Orange street. The matter was referred to com
 mitted composed of the mayor, Messrs.
 Todd and States to investigate and report l at the next meeting.
 The petition for a crosswalk on Court
 street was referred to the street committee
 with power.

 MT. Todd-Didn't you make the state ment that the contrator on the Gamer street sewer made poor job of it and had friend at courta
 MT. HiI-No; not exactly that, but per haps I meant to intimate as much. Mr. Hill then went on to give the history of that sewer from the first time it was pro- posed to the completion. When the work had progressed to certain point, said MT. Hill, while certain it was going on all right, nevertheless he thought certain change would be better. Instead, the board went up and voted to put in 8 creo- soted platform, which he thought was wholly unnecessary.
 Then MT. Hill contradicted statement made by Contractor O'Brien, to the effect that he was afraid of the platform falling and put upa wall of brickwork at his owr expense. This, MT. Hill said, was done al MT. Dillon's suggestion.
 At this point MT. Atwater and MT. Hill had little tilt of their own, in which botL gentlemen waxed rather warm. It arose over the matter connected with the Me chanic street sewer, where MT. Atwater'l teams were stopped from carrying off fill ing. Mr. Atwater here asked a question MT. Hill, want you to explain what you meant a short time ago when you said 'T suppose MT. Atwater got ahead ot me-"
 MT. Hill will explain. At that time MT. O'Rrien gave us to understand tha, he would soon appear before the board and MT. Atwater would advocate his cass for him in getting the work for putting in this platform. He put up so exhorbit ent price and would have none other SC we would not be imposed upon. The general finish of the work, he said, wal not so good ao the usual work done. ,- MT. Sullivan-Isn't it a fact, MT. Hill that you didn't care whether you had 5 | good job done there or not?
 MT. Hil-No, sir.
 MT. Sullivan-Why did you not brine the contractor before the board; wasn't ii your dutys MT. Hill-He always promised to do whatever was asked or him.

CAUGHT.
THE CATHEDRAL ROBBERS CAP
TURED IN SAN DIEGO.
Bishop Mora Receives Dispatch Stating
Their Capture = The Sacred Vessels
Already Melted and offered for Sale.

The daring robbery and safe-crackine
at the cathedral created no end OF in
dignation among the good people of this
city. 1t was the general impression
that the work had been done by eastern
crooks. Last night Bishop Mora re-
ceived dispatch from San Diego to the
effect that three men had been captured
at that city for the robbery at the
cathedral. 1t appears that the safe
crackers lost no time in melting down
the silver they had stolen. This
they very unwisely offered for sale
in San Diego. The news of the desc
Grafton Of the cathedral spread all over
the country, and the San Diego officials
were naturally on the lookout.
1t was also learned that some Of the
stolen property was found IN the pos
session of one OF the men arrested, and
that Father Uhack of San Diego had
identified it as belonging to the Los An
geles cathedral. The robbers will be
brought to Los Angeles today, when
more particulars will doubtless be OBJ
tanned from the San Diego officers.
1t seems surprising that these enter
prising burglars should display such a
lack of judgment in attempting to sell
their i'll gotten gains in any town in
Southern California, and especially so
soon after the crime was committed.

A SURPRISE PARTY. :.
The Black Pearl Knocked Out in San
Francisco.

The Black Pearl Knocked Out In San
Francisco.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 3O.-Harris
Martin (the Black PeaA) of Minneapo-
lis, and Ed Benny" OF Boston, the
colored middleweights, fought to a
finish at the California Athletic club
tonight. The purse was fifteen hun
dred dollars. The men slugged at close
quarters in the first three rounds, Pearl
securing two knockdowns in the first,
one proving nearly Knockout. Benny
retaliated by knocking him down in the
second round. Benny missed num-
berless openings which Pearl care
lessly left in his rushes, and
though of superior height and
reach and of good hitting power, he
seemed disposed to make a slow fight.
The Pearl, on the other hand, tried
every chance to finish Benny with his
right, but at the end of the thirteenth
round the honors were about even. At
the close Of the twenty-second Benny
sent the Pearl to the ropes, dazed,. with
a left on the mouth, and punished him
in the succeeding round until the Pearl
was groggy and reeling. The Pearl
freshened, but the fight progressed
slowly until the twenty-fifth, when
Benny started in and punched him
about the ring with blows on the head
until the Pearl fell. He refused to
come to time for the next round, and
the fight was given to Benny.

Zue G. Peck, his counsel, appeared in
department six yesterday, at the hour
set for passing sentence on the defend
ant, and made a motion in arrest of
judgment, which was promptly denied
by Judge Mckinley. The motion was
based on the ground that the facts in
the indictment against the defendant
we're not sufficient to constitute a pub
lie offense, and that sthe indictment
does not conform to certain sections of
the penal code.
When Mr.. Peck was knocked out on
the above proposition, he fished about
in his pockets and dug up type
written document, which proved to be II
motion for q new trial. on the ground
that the verdict Was contrary to law and
the evidence that the court misdirected
the jury in matters of law, and erred in
decisions OF questions OF law during the
course of the trial; also that some new
and important testimony has been dis
covered since the trial closed. Judge
Mckinley continued the matter for one

THREE TARIFF CASES.
The Unconstitutionality of the Mckinley
Act Argued.

Act Argued.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 80 Three tariff
cases, involving the constitutionality of
the Mckinley tariff act, came up for
argumont in the United States supreme
court today. All the Justices were pres
ent. The three cases are those of Boyd.
Sutton g. Co. and Sternbach & Co. of
New York, and Marshall Field & Co. of
Chicago. Three points are involved in
the decision of these suits, and
the court heard all the cases as one, and
made an order by which each of the at
torneys representing the firms was
assigned one of the points at issue to be
reviewed in the opening argument. w.
w. Smith of New York argued the
bounty clause. contending that boun-
ties were unconstitutional, and inval-
idated the whole act. Edwin B. Smith,
ex-assistant attorney-general, and now
of New Work, argued that the reciprocity
feature was the delegation of the taxing
power to the president, which vitiated
the whole act. N. W. Bliss of Chicago
argued that the law was unconstitu
tional because of the omission of the,
tobacco rebate clause. Argument will
be continued tomorrow.

LETTER CARRIERS.
A Premium on Lettering Under the Pres
ent Free Delivery Law.

A Premium on Lettering Under the Pres
ent Free Delivery Law.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-Superintend-
ent Pollock, OF the free delivery system
of the postoffice department, in his an
nual report shows that the number of
free delivery offices at the close of the
fiscal year was 519, an increase of sixty
five over the preceding year. The cost
of the service was $9,092, ,060, which is
$22 ,424 less than the appropriation. The
number of carriers was 10, 100, an in
crease of 1904 during the year. The
number Of pieces of mail handled was
3,646, 1854 1920.
Considerable attention is given to the
subject OF overtime claims of letter car
riers under the act of May "a, 1888, linn
iting the hours that carriers shall be
employed per day. The practical
result of this act, the report
states, has been the filing of enor-
nous overtime claims, aggregating
nearly half million dollars, and this
does not by any means represent the
maximum amount of the claims already
prepared. In view of the tendency of
the law to create overtime claims and
the certainty, judging from past expert
ences, that they will arise so long as the
existing system continues, and with the
further unfortunate experience that the
law puts premium on lettering and in
efficiency, instead of the opposite, the
report suggests certain notifications of
the law, among them that no carrier
shall be required to work more than
fifty-one hours in any week, seven days,
where there is Sunday service, or forty
eight hours where there is no Sunday
service also that carriers after four
years service, upon certificate Of faith
fulness and efficiency, shall be promoted
from $1,000 to $1,000 per year, and when
inefficient or untitled for active work
they shall be reduced to lower grade.
