The Commissioners concluded that they

and salaries with a 10-cent levy and so

At the last meeting an architect named
w. Jones Cuthbertson asked to be APP
pointed architect of the board, and yester-
day the following letter was received from
the Chapter of Architects on the subject:
The inclosed clipping was presented to our
chapter at its last meeting, and l was in
structed to inform you that w. Jones Cuthbert-
son is no longer member of this chapter, hay-
ing sent in his resignation last year, and fur
thermore that this chapter deplores the fact
that any architect should act in so unpro-
fessional a manner. Very respectfully,
OLIVER EVERETT,
Secretary San Francisco Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects.
In regard to the sewerage of the Hall of
Records, about which so much complaint
has lately been made, Architect Shea re-
ported:
''An investigation of the condition of the
plumbing of the Hall of Records has re-
suited in my finding the sewer underneath
said structure completely blocked up and
the basement in certain portions covered
with escaping sewage eighteen inches
deep, and should receive immediate at
tention. The Hall of Records is through
out IN an unSanltary condition, as the
plumbing consists of old fixtures, traps of
obsolete pattern, destitute of vent pipes,
which are now considered necessary to in
sure good health. The leakage complained
of in the Hall of Records is of such i'm
portance as will necessitate extensive over
hauling at an early date and is caused bv
the improper connections existing between
the iron and brick work. The repairs will
require probably an outlay of 5000"
Mayor Sutro was in favor of taking i'm
mediate steps to remedy the evil, but as
the Hall of Records has been under the
control of the Board of Supervisors for
twenty-five years the commissioners con-
cluded to refer the problem to the building
committee of that body.

wIFE-BEATER SENTENCED.
John Twohig of the Potrero Gets Six
Months in Jail.

mOntus III cdils
The trial of John Twohig, the Potrero
wife-beater, for battery upon his wife on
January is was held before jury in Judge
Campbells court yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Twohig, as on previous occasions,
declined to appear as witness against her
husband, and an attachment was issued
against her for contempt of court. She
gave her testimony with reluctance and
would not admit that her husband had
beaten her. Other witnesses testified to
the fact that she had told them of his beat
ing her, and also to Twohig's well-known
reputation as a wife-beater.
The Jury brought in verdict of guilty,
with recommendation to mercy Attor-
ney Gallagher moved for new trial,
which was denied.
The Judge said that in cases of this kind
he always felt that by sentencing the hus-
band the wife and children were the real
sufferers. He had no sympathy for wife
beaters and had urged that the Legislature
should pass a bin enacting that they
should get a taste of the whipping post.
He sentenced the prisoner to six months
in the County Jail.
Twohig's attorney gave norice of appeal
and asked the Judge to fix bail, but he de-
clined to do so. He then dismissed the
charge of contempt against Mrs. Twohig.
Twohig has been arrested several times
for beating his wife, but always escaped
prnishment because she refused to prose-
cute him. About three years ago she was

A Scotch Terrier Makes Seizure and
Loses Her Share.
Several days ago Chinaman was noticed
bringing a basket ashore from the steamer
Peru, and for some reason-possibly he
caught sight of customs oifcer-he set his
load down and disappeared. The basket
remained upon the wharf among some
other freight unnoticed. Presently small
female Scotch terrier was seen snifing
very knowingly and earnestly, around it.
Her owner could not induce her to follow
him away, and she continued to dance and
claw about the basket until she eventually
tore the lid off. Out rolled three pretty
japanese pug puppies, and the little terrier
was as proud of her discovery as an in
spector over a $4,000 seizure.
She Immediately confscated the contra
band puppies and lay down by the aliens
as though they were OF her own blood.
When the officers started to seize in their
turn her prize, she snarled and snapped
and defied the whole United States Treas
ury Department to dispossess her Of her
newly adopted family.
She had to be choked into submission by
her master before she would surrender the
