POST-STREET EXTENSION.
Commissioner Parker Will Never Act in
That Capacity Again.

Commissioner Parker Will Never Act in
That Capacity Again.
The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors held a special meeting yester-
day afternoon for the purpose OF consider
ing the protest Of property-owners against
the report and assessments of the Post
street Extension Commission. R. II. Sinton
appeared before the committee, and was
questioned regarding the value of land in
the condemned district. Mr. Sinton in
timated that he was not prepared to give a
detailed and accurate opinion of the value
oil lots IN that locality as an expert unless
he was paid for the trouble In a general
way he delivered long discourse on the
property in question, and expressed the
view that the assessments were too high
He believed that under the law no man
could be improved out OF his property, and
II on proper investigation it was found that
the assessments were too high, the only
course would be to abandon the improve
ment. He was in favor of allowing wide
margin in valuations, owing to the tying up
OF the property. He believed that the law
creating the commissions was vicious one
for the reason that all the fees, expenses
and costs were contingent, and there was
too much liability or overcharging.
commissioner Parker asked the committee
not to take Mr.. Slatcn's report into cOnsid-
Grafton, as 1t was not one OF an expert. He
requested that the Board of Supervisors ap-
point an expert TO examine the land, to act
in conjunction with two other experts, ap-
pointed respectively by tue prOperty-nwn-
ers and the commission. He was willing
that the conclusions of these three experts
sho uld stand, and would pay the expert of
the commission out of his own salary as
Commissioner when he got it. He stated
that he would never accept another position
as Commissioner.
The committee then excluded all not mem
bers Of the board and discussed the matter
in executive session, but arrived at no defin-
ita conclusions

SPANIER'S "MASCOT,D
Judge COffey Tackles the Mys.
teries of Poker.

What Probate Judge Coffey don't know
about poker and poker checks after further
nearing of the petition of the widow OF the
late Joe Spanier will probably equal what
he did know before the case came Up for
hearing in his court yesterday. When the
balance is struck he probably will know
nothing of much immediate use to him if he
ever concludes to handle the pasteboards.
The matter at issue was the motion Of the
creditors of the estate of Joseph opanier,
n earny-street cigar-Store and poker club
proprietor, to cut off the monthly allowance
Oh SlOO to his widow, on the ground that the
estate is insolyent. AS set-off the at
torneys for tile widow claimed tina. the es-
tate was not insolvent, had that the admins
traitor. Jacob Sharp, who absconded with
the estate money and allowed debts against
the estate which were barred out, being
claims for money won from Spanier at poker.
OF these claims, which amount to 1914, P.
". LinVllle, special police officer, says that
his due is $500, Charles Frank a shoe
dealer. wants S505 80, and Marx Barrett the
balance
Frederick S. Carter, spanier's book
Keeper, testified that he kept an account for
;Spanier with Linvile and the others who
haoltually played there. Spanier generally
lost heavily when he played with them. The
DOCK In which he kept the account had dis
appeared some time before Spaner's death.
AT the con eusion of his testimony Judge
Golfey refused to dismiss the application of
the widow,
:, I. d. Llnvllle, special officer, testified
That the $500 he claimed from the estate
had been won by him at the game. Hc had
ielt this amount to his credit with Spanier
10 oblige the latter. He had deposited it
with Spanier at different times; it was
mostly In poker checks. Once he loaned
opanler $500 in checks What coin lie left
Win Spanler to be credited to his the wit
ness account was money he won at the
game. He never had taken money out of
MS own pocket to loan Spancr. The wit
ness proceeded to give Il detailed account of
the intrcacies of poker playing with checks
obtained from the proprietor of the rooms.
and succeeded SO in befogging Judge Coffey
aud the numerous attorneys in the ease that
they were all at fault at making heads or
tails of what lie said. Judge COffey. how
ever, remarked that evidently from the wit
ness account strangers playing in the game
did not win fortunes.
Charles Frank said the money he claimed
was Tor cash loaned Spanier He also had
a poker account there, and outside of what
Spanler owed him was heavy loser. " |
lose my weight in gold, Judge" said MIR.
Frank. Invariably when playing with
SS,panler the latter always won. so. said Mr..
Franks, The called me his mascot"
The witness stated that he kept an ac-
count OF the money he loaned Spanier in u
book, which he did not have with him. He
knew the sum he asked for was correct. be-
cause the book-keeper who kept his poker
account told him so.
Further poker testimony will probably be
offered to-day, when the case will be con-
tinued, and Judge Coffey aud the attorneys,
alter close study of Hoyle, may know
more of the mysteries of the game.

There is no longer any doubt that Sexton
McEnroe of ST. Joseph's Church, who was
found dead on Monday night, ended his life
by taking poison. While searching the bed
room of the deceased yesterday, Deputy
Coroner Bridgewood found a small vial
that had contained carboic acid. The vial
was found under a handkerchief on a shelf
