SHOCKS LITTLE BY-PLAY.
Why AIameda'S District At
torney Cares for II. v.
Herbert.
Chief to Retain a High
Salary.

County Detective Herbert shall get his
salary, even if the Office was illegally Gre
ated by the Supervisors, said District
Attorney Shook Monday night, and all the
attaches of the Courthouse wondered why
Mr.. Shook was SO solicitous of the welfare
of the recent claims adJuster of the South
ern Paciic Company. A member of the
Alameda delegation to the last State Legis-
lature made public the secret yesterday.
when the Legislature of 1898 met, !"
said the ex-senator. "Snook and crowd
of workers haunted the Capitol, bewailing
the fact that the Supreme Court had cut
off all bis deputies, and that unless his
salary was increased the Office would not
pay the incumbent car fare. On the strength
of these representations the whole Ala
media delegation worked for the additional
salary. On examining into the matter
closer after the Legislature had adjourned
we found we had been deceived and that
the Supreme Court did not cut down the
District Attorneys deputies. 1t was too
late to undo what we had done, but last
January we decided to make an effort to
reduce the salaries TO what they were be-
fore Shook practiced his deception upon
us. We managed to do this in the Assem-
bly,, but IN the Senate the measure was
defeated"
V. Herbert was one of the most per-
sistent OF workers Tor Shook, and the
Southern Pacitic's ex-claim adjuster had
influence with several Senators. AS re-
suit, Shocks salary was not decreased, and
in return for Herbert's kindness an at
tempt was made to create the office of
County Detective. This failed; but after
the lapse of enough time to cause the poll
ticians to forget that the measure was de-
feated. Shook advised the Supervisors that
the office was legal, and Herbert was
elected. A month later Shook asked for
his dismissal as the Office was illegal Now
the District Attorney has taken Herbert
under his personal wing, and says he will
employ him in such manner that he will
be paid his salary, although he will hold
no Office.

for space to exhibit at the fair some cleo
trio batteries with which she desires to
demonstrate. Her plan is to locate dis

was informed that the matter would be
properly considered and that there was no
doubt the space would be granted.
The application of Margaret Touchard for
the use of a room in the Pavilion for one
night during the fair was considered. Her
object is to demonstrate the practicable
and palatable cooking of California dried
fruits. The members were agreed that
some arrangement should be made for her.
The San Francisco Fire Dispatch Com
pany made application to serve the library
and the fair with its service. The matter
will be presented to the board with favor
able recommendation.
The board will meet tonight to continue
the business left over from Tuesday nights

FAILURE TO PROVIDE.
ID. Paguet Arrested on the Com
plant of His Son
Edward.

D. Paguet was arrested on a warrant
sworn out yesterday in Judge Conlan's
court charging him with failure to provide
for minor child.
Paguet, SO the son stated, had not con-
tributed anything to support the family
for the past two years. Mrs. Paguet has
been sick for considerable time at her
home, "a Scott place, and has subsisted on
the charity of her neighbors and aid from
charita BILE institutions.
On Monday the son, Edward, who is IL
years of age, went to his father and asked
him to provide $40 week for the support
of the youngest son, minor. Paguet
pulled q handful of money out of his
pocket and told him he had plenty of
money, but not cent of it would go to
support his wife and family. This ex-
asperated the boy, and yesterday he swore
out warrant for his fathers arrest.
About the beginning of the year Paguet
was arrested for passing $40 counterfeit
bill, and it took him several months to free
himself from the clutches of the Federal
authorities. He was arrested on the COM
plant of Mrs. Friedenbaur, and he now
blames Miss Marie Friedenbaur for incit-
ing his son to have him arrested for failure
to provide. He was released on 500 bonds.

on the opening OF Eighth street. from
Channel to Sixteenth, reported that the
matter was brought before the Street Com
mittee of the Supervisors and had then
been referred to the City and County At
torney as to whether that portion of Eighth
street which it was proposed to have
opened was public or private property. If
it proves to be the latter the City will be
asked to condemn it and thus give the dis
trict at least one thoroughfare into the
City which is not used by the railroad for
its tracks.
None of the members of the water COM
mittee were present, and in order to give
them an opportunity to report before the
Supervisors are again in session meeting
of the club will be held Wednesday, Au-
gust u.
The water question is really the most
important matter now under considera-
ton. The source of supply for the district,
which is 300 feet above the ocean level, is
the College Hill reservoir of the Spring
Valley Water Company. This is too low
to give the requisite pressure, and during
the daytime many people are unable to get
any water, and in case of fire all that the
owners of burning property would be able
to do would be to sit down and watch the
spectacle of destruction.
