EXAMINATION OF HER ACCOUNT.
Her Sister Being Wealthy She Had
Right to Be Maintained in
a Fitting Manner.

Mrs. Clara Catherwood, guardian of the
person and estate of her wealthy sister.
Miss Ella Hastings, does not propose to
tamely submit to being catechised by her
bTOther-in-law. w. S. Keyes.
War has now been declared and Mrs.
Catherwood says that if MIR. Keyes is so
desperately anxious to pry into her ac-
counts as guardian of Miss Hastings she,
on her part. will see what can be done
with Mrs. Keyes respecting the guardian
ship OF his daughter, Azalea. One of the
heirs of the late Judge Hastings.
The stormy scene of ten days ago looked
like being repeated yesterday when, after
one or two contnuances, the application
of Mrs. CatherwGod for a settlement of
her first annual account of her trusteeship
came up for argument Backed as she
was by the legal influence OF Attorneys
Delmas and Shortridge>she could i'll brook
the interference of one so lowly as A. d.
Keyes, the legal re preventative of the
Thomas Didymus of the family, w. S.
Keyes.
Mr.. Keyes refuses to believe that the
account submitted is correct. he is not
satisfied with such items as 'sundries,
81 30; petty cash. 81 75." He seeks
mlnutelY detained account OIL uollsrS ana
cents expended with their why and
wherefore. And he does this because in
his daughter, Azalea, he possesses grand
daughter of the late Judge Hastings, and
a tOlerably distant heir preSumptiye TO the
estate of her aunt. Miss Ella Hastings. the
management of whose affairs he seeks to
dispute.
The parties assembled before Judge
Csffey yesterday determined to fight the
matter out Mr. Keyes having fled his
stated objections to the account, chiefly on

TO THE ALMsHoUsE TRACT.
He Claims the Present Site Is
a Park.
STREET SWEEPING CONTRACT.
Societies Protest Against Letting
Contract to Bury INDECENT Dead
Outside of San Francisco.

Yesterdays session of the Board of Su-
pervisors was confined chiefly to routine
business. Supervisor James issued an in-
teTestng resolution calling for the removal
of the old City and County Hospital from
its present site. which he claims is pub
lie park, and the establishment of the in
sttution on the Almshouse tract Tie
resolution provides that the money fW
construction shall be raised by the issuing
OF bonds. On next Saturday morning the
Health and Police and Finance committees
of the board will consider the matter in
joint session.
The street-sweeping specifications were
not ordered published. as was expected,
according to agreement in committee. Su-
pervisor Dundou moved to amend the
specifications in such way that the city
be divided into districts and bids be called
for swee ping them by hand. The author
CT the amendment thought that the city
could be kept cleaner this way, with not
much more expense, and that the hand
sweeping method would give employment
to many deserving idle during the present
hard times. The whole matter was re-
feTred to the Street Committee.
The board passed to print an order pro-
hibiting the killing of. buying or selling of
dead red-breasted robins or meadow larks
from the 1st day of March to October l.
The proposed order is one of the sugges-
tions of the recent State Sportmen's AsS0-
citation.
The order prohibiting the overcrowding
of theaters and assembly rooms was finally
passed. 1t is very stringent in its terms
The various societies having plats Tor
burying the dead in the Golden Gate CITY
Cemetery fled an energetic protest against
the letting of contract for the burying of
the INDECENT dead to the Pacific Under
taking Company for SO SO each. The
societies say First, that it is unlawful for
the city to make such contract; secondly,
that the charge is three times what it
ought TO be, and, lastly. it is not doing the
right thing by the societies.
President Hyde of the Board of Educa-
ton appeared before the board and made
a plea for the resembling OF the resolution
refusing to grant the School Department
permission to erect wooden addition 10
the Commercial High School. He said
that permits had been given TO private cIt-
Zens to violate the fire ordinance, and he
did not see why the Board of Educa ton
should not be favored. He cited seventy
five cases Supervisor Forman Informed
him that most of these were for repairing
doors or bay-wndows, and IN only one
case was house erected. The board did
not take any action on Hyde's application.

bition of any articles of electro plating or
apparatus for the manufacture of such
articles save those SO prepared by the
plaintiff Jn word, Hall claimed the ex-
elusive concession for electro-plating at
the fair He had held similar concession
at the Worlds Fair in Chicago. and he
claimed that his application to Viscopnt
de Cornely was granted. This was denied
by the defendants. who claimed that con-
cession was granted him as general and
not an exclusive exhibitor.
During the trial of the case several side
issues were brought out. such as the ro-
duction of the organization papers. for he
purpose Of finding out what the legal title
of tho enterprise was. but in deciding the
present case Judge Murphy held that the
only point at issue was as TO whether or
not Hall had right to an exclusive con-
cession.
1t was shown tha: Dy one of its rules the
executive committee reserved the right to
accept or reject applications. receipt
was sent to Hall for $500. deposit, with
the intimation that II retained it would be
accepted as payment for the sole privilege
or concession desired. Other applications
for the same style of concession came in,
and eventually Drector-General de Young
went 10 Chicago 10 pass upon them.
1t was claimed by the defense that Hall
was notified that his application for an
exclusive concession had been denied, but
that the space he desired had been allotted
him as general exhibitor only. De Young
testified to this. aud was corroborated
ihereupon by Cornely. However, when in
February last Hall discovered that other
concessionaires were exhibiting electro
plateware he brought the present suit
On findings of fact Judge Murphy de-
cided that so far as this plaintiffs appi-
cation was concerned for the sole and
exclusive right of exhibiting electro-plate
il was denied" There was testimony to
this effect at The trial. and to contradict it
there was only the statement of the plain
tiff. Under the circumstances Hall must
be regarded as general exhibitor only.
and judgment must be entered in favor of
the defendant.

WAR IN SEVERAL DISTRICTS.
The Chinese Treaty Receives a
Scoring.
COMMENTATOR FOR A. sUTRo.
Eighteen Democrats to Make Rules
for a Primary to Elect New
General Committee.

The Democratic General Committee met
last night in Metropolitan Temple to make
arrangements for primary election, to be
held in the near future. for the election in
the various districts of delegates, who
shall com pose new general committee at
the expiration of the term of Office of the
present body. Chairman Max Pepper
presided.
The first business before the meeting
was to act upon various amendments to the
general plan. which were submitted at q
former meeting.
Secretary Cusiek read the amendments,
which were rapidly tabled Among them
was one offered by Fl. j. jackson, to insert
in section /, article Z, the words: PRO
vided, tn atany candidate, upon application
to the general committee three days before
any primary. may have such number of
tickets as he may desire, upon payment for
the same at the time of such application.
This was laid on the table by rising
vote. and afterward taken up and adopted
by two-thrds vote, Mr.. Jackson having
urged upon the committee the necessity
for some such provision to insure fairness
al the primaries.
He said that as the plan stood the issu-
ance of tickets was in the hands OF Two
men in each district, who, IL so inclined,
might give the tickets to certain candi-
dates and withhold them from others. If
the secretaries are compelled TO provide all
candidates with as many tickets as they
saw fit to order everybody would have a
fair chance. 1t was this argument that
carried the point.
An effort was made to take up other
tabled amendments, but the committee
firmly refused to hear further debate on
them.
j. Sauman offered long series OF reso-
tions declaring the general committee to
be unalterably opposed to the Chinese
treaty now before the Senate of the United
States, and that it protest against the rati-
fcation Of any treaty with China.
The resolutions discussed the trade rela-
tons between the United States and China,
and gave statistics to show that the bal
ancc of trade was against this country.
They particnlarized section of the treaty
relating to the landing of Chinese laborers
who have $1,000 worth Of property in this
country as being specially objectionable.
The resolutions occasioned discussion
in which some Democratic statesmen
evnced a disposition to doubt that the
general committee could accomplish any
thing by adopting them. One irreverent
committeeman shook the gravity of the

Besides the donation of 10000 roses
from Santa Barbara, promises have been
made of $4,000 roses from one nursery at
Niles, $4,000 from Santa Rosa. 10000 from
one residence at San Rafael and $4,000
from Berkeley. The State Floral Society
will make liberal contr buttons of flowers,
and besides roses the committee in charge
will gladly receive pansies. lilies, esch-
scholtz;as, .marguerites, geraninms, pinks,
marigolds, poppies and other flowers.
The Knights of Pythias have arranged
TO decorate four floats. each with tweiye
persons clad in floral costume, in addition
