Attorney Clement then took the floor on
behalf of Mr.. Menzies. He said that the
board had been duly notified of the re-
moval Of Mr.. Gunst by Governor Budd,
and that it rested with them whether they
would longer recognize him as their
associate, or disobey the order of the chief
executive of the State.
"By virtue of the document before you"
he resumed, "Mr. Menzies is entitled to
his seat as a member of this board. mas
much as Mr.. Gunst has been removed it
appears to me that the burden is placed on
him TO prove that he is entitled to the
seat. Mr.. Menzies certainly is not the
proper one to commence legal proceedings
in the matter"
eff Mr.. Gunst has been removed" said
Chairman Tobin, "what you say would be
true, but Mr.. Gunst maintains that he has
not been removed"

also secretary of the bank. He has also
forsaken banking pursuits, and is now hv-
ing at Berkeley.
D. S. Dorm was the seventh member OF
the board, and also the banks attorney.
He was "Dick" McDonald's confidential
adviser, and perhaps knows more about
the workings of the wrecked bank than
any other man. He is wanted as wit
ness in the Mcdonald case, and the trial
has had to be postponed several times be-
cause he could not be found. His brother,
M. A. Dorm, says he is away on vacation,
but in what part of the country he is so
journing no one seems to know.
Of the board of directors which was in
control when the receiver was appointed
by the court four have been indicted by
the Grand Jury. They are: r. II. Me-
Donald Jr., Charles Montgomery, Hiram
T. Graves and A. l.. Jenkins. One of the
charges against them is that they delivered
$40, 900 worth of bonds to C. o. Swanberg
just before the bank closed its doors.
Montgomery, Graves and Jenkins gave
bonds and were released, but no one

for making this demand"-and he gave
Chairman Tobin a letter, OF which the fol-
lowing is a copy:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 15, 1891
To the Honorable Police Commissioners Of the
City and County Of San Francisco GENTLEMEN
You will please take notice that have this day
removed Moses A. Gunst as Police Commits
sioner, and that have appointed Stewart Men,
zies to fill such position. Yours truly,
JAMES H. BUDD, Governor
Attorney Ach then took the floor with
a protest He stated that he was'the legal
representative of Mr.. Gunst, and that as
such, he protested against any action OF
the board with reference to Mr.. Menzies'
demand whatsoever.
''Mr. Gunst," he resumed, "intends to
dispute the right of Mr.. Menzies to occupy
this seat, because he proposes himself to
retain the Office to which he was appointed
by Governor Markham. do not desire TO
discuss the legal phases of the matter here.
There are many decisions of the Supreme
Court in cases similar to this and hence
Mr.. Gunst must be recognized by this
board. He disputes Mr.. Menzies' right to
this seat and he disputes the right of the
Governor to appoint him. Inasmuch as
the appointment of Mr.. Menzies was made
on the recommendation of the Attorney
General of this State, it is Mr.. Menzies'
duty to go to that official and have him
institute proceedings against Mr.. Gunst
for the office to which he has laid claim.
Mr.. Gunst has been instructed to hold his
seat, and until legal proceedings are begun
he will continue to do So"

Scattering a Superstition.

A friend who has often stayed with the De
Lesseps family says that the Count never
seemed to lose sight of the education of his
children, even in the smallest details.
One morning at breakfast beautiful Ores

Count, ''as to really believe that two more

"Then let us get it off our minds. .
And, taking two of the cups by the
handles, he dashed them together. The
anger and dismay of the Countess proved
conclusively that she had not seriously
held to her superstition. 1t also loosened

on the minds of the children.-Kate Field s

to withdraw expired in the morning, but ii
was hoped in insurance circles that he
would reconsider his action and remain in
the com bination.
The Pacific Insurance Union is in the
course of reconstruction, and its name is
to be changed to the Board of Underwriters.
Unless the rule should be rescinded at the
meeting to be held to-day insurance mana
gers will in future be allowed to employ
saIaried canvassers instead of doing all
business on percentage basis. Mr.. Null
Inns is in favor of that scheme and it was
thought that its adoption would help to
keep him in the union. He was determined
to become free lance, however, and when
his thirty days notice was up at once cut
himself loose.
In answer to question, Mr.. Mullins
said that his company was out of the union
and intended to stay out. He would not
say whether he would commence rate
war or not, but contented himself with re-
marking that he intended to get business,
but would not cut off his nose to spite his
face in the effort.
The Firemen's Fund, Home Mutual and
several other insurance companies have
also given the requisite notice of their in
tention. to. withdraw from the union.
These notices expire in few days, and it
is expected that they also will promptly
withdraw when their time is up. In that
event they might join with the CONNER
cial Union in cutting rates.

| The Peoples Home Savings Bank closed
its doors on June %, 1898. AT that time
the board of directors was composed as
follows: DR.. r. H. Mcdonald, Frank v.
Mcdonald Jr., Columbus Warehouse, E.
Bellermann and d. S. Dorm. Columbus
Waterhouse was president, R. III. McDon-
aid vice-president and Emil Bellermann
secretary. Between June %, 1893, and May
2, 1884, on which date the receiver took
charge, Dick Mcdonald changed the board
of directors about once month. On May
2 the board was composed as follows: R..
H. Mcdonald Jr., Charles Montgomery,
Hiram 1. Graves, A. L. Jenkins, J.
Boushey, George Schultz and George P.
Keeney.
Upon the appointment of a receiver the
last-named board of directors was ousted
and the following men, who have been in
charge ever since, were elected: George
Stone, S. X. Thornton, Rolla V. Watt,
John II. Hillman, S. P. Young, I. L..
Merrill and s. A. Mcdonnell. Messrs
Young and Mcdonnell represent the de-
positors on the board.
1t is interesting to trace what has become
of the various people who figured in the
affairs of the Peoples Home Savings Bank.
Columbus Waterhouse is still to be found
at 16 Beale street. He was president of the
institution when it first closed it's doors.
r. III. Mcdonald Jr. was really the man
who ran the business, and is not out of
trouble yet on that account.
DR.. RI H. Mcdonald was wise in his
day and generation. He saw the storm
brewing and made haste to get out of the
way. When the crash came he was where
bailiffs could not reach him and where a
California subpoena was of no avail. 1t
was given out at the time that the doctor
had gone East to undergo an operation.
The operation has been performed but the
doctor still remains in the East waiting for
the storm to blow over.
Frank V. Mcdonald, like his father. was
wise in his generation. He also saw the
storm brewing and fed from the wrath to
come. He is said to be tired of his Danish
ment to Japan and may come back to face
the music.
Joseph Winterburn was another mem
