THE BOARD OF HEALTH,
A Short and BuSineSsiike SEES
sion Held Yesterday
Morning.
Or, A, p. O'Brien Made City PhySi-
cian-LoVelaCe, Chalmers and
Others Go In.

The Board of Health met yesterday and
began the work of decapitation, which is
to extend through the Health Department.
In addition to the changes predicted IN
Yesterday mornings CALL there were two
more-that of City Physician and Assist
ant Secretary-Dr. A. P. O'Brien and ii.
H. Zovel, respectively, being the fortunate
ones.
Before the meeting there was caucus in
the Mayors Office. Quite crowd was IN
waiting for the doctors in the Health
Office, and anxious looks were exchanged
when Mayor Sutro. Drs. Morse, William
son, Hart and Fitzgibbon filed in and took
their seats. The proceedings were carried
on in a very businesslike manner.
The first thing which was done was to
declare the position of Health Officer
Keeney vacant on August 1. Just then, on
motion of DIR. Fitzgibbon, DIR. A. S. Love
lace was appointed Keeney's successor by
a unanimous vote.
On motion of DR.. Williamson the office
of Quarantine officer was declared vacant.
DR.. Hart nominated DR.. William A. Chal-
mers for Quarantine Officer.
The next to go was Secretary Lawlor,
who was compelled to cast the vote declar-
ing his position vacant. DR.. Hart named
as his successor Edmund Godchaux. As
sistant Secretary Kennedy was next gull
lotined and II. H. Zovel was appointed in
his place.
The ak then fell on the head OF City

was created in the office of police surgeon.
and after August / DIR. Conrad We'll will
preside over the destinies of the Receiving
hospital. He will have for his assistants
Dr. Frank Fitzgibbon, DR.. Edwin Bunnell
and DIR. g. Howard Thompson.
After the latter gentlemen were named
the board adjourned until next Tuesday
morning.
DIR. Lovelace, the new Health Officer,
was formerly located in Sacramento, but
has been practicing in this City for several
years. DR.. w. P. Chalmers is well known
in this City, where he has resided for many
wears. Dr. Conrad We'll is the resident
surgeon OF the German Hospital, and DIR.
Fitzgibbon, one of his assistants, is a
brother of the member of the board of the
same name. DR.. A. P. O'Brien was born
and educated in this City and is a grad
uate of Toland Medical College. He is
looked upon as one of the promising young
members of his profession.

At the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday
morning members of various Boards OF
Supervisors throughout the State assem-
bled, pursuant to call from the Governor,
to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of making a
California exhibit at the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton soon to be held in Georgia. Nearly
all the counties in the vicinity of San
Francisco sent delegates, and others gave
assurance in some form that they could be
counted on as ready to contribute when
the time came.
Supervisor Taylor called the meeting to
order. ''I hope," said he, faction will be
taken by you here to-day that will rebound
to the credit of the State, and materially
aid in putting forth its products and posi-
bilities in the best possible light"

HOW TO DESTROY PESTS.
Printers Ink, Paris Green and Cold
Steel Are Highly Recommended
for Army Worms.

The reports of the damage done by the
so-called army worm in various localities
have not disturbed the members of the
State Board of Horticulture to any extent.
In the first place the pest is not the regu-
lar army worm that has done so much
damage to crops in the East, although of
the same family. And, further, the reports
of the damage are considerably exag-
gerated. Every year this pest appears.
Quarantine Officer Craw says they can
be easily killed by placing alfalfa poisoned
with paris green, one teaspoonful in a
bucket of water, where the pest can get it.
To prevent the pests from climbing the
trees, paper band should be put around
each tree and smeared with printers ink
softened with castor-oil.
The reports also state that worm SINH
lar to the army worm is iniuring the toma-
toes. 1t is probably the Larvae of the sphinx
moth.
Several vineyards in Fresno last year
were seriously injured by the caterpillar of
this moth during May and the first week
of June. The moth is large and handsome,
with narrow sinewy wings, indicating
great power of flight. When expanded
they measure nearly four inches from tip
to tip.
Mr.. Craw says he considers it dangerous
to use paris green or other poison when
the caterpillar is among the tomatoes. He
says the most effective way to check the pest
is to hand pick or clip the worms in two
with a pair of scissors. AS this can be
done in the daytime very thorough work
can be ACCOMPLISHED

tually convinced that there is more truth
than poetry in it. | can assure you that
the members of this board are above
bribery, and those who have offered money
will find it so.
'We propose to appoint men irrespective
of politics. :,
1--WE are absolutely unpledged and shall
appoint health inspectors only on COM
petitive examination, as we want only such
inspectors as can perform their work from
a mathematical point. We are in no haste
in these matters, and shall fully deliberate
before we act"
DR.. Fitzgibbon was highly indignant
over the manner in which brides have been
offered. and said II had scarcely entered
upon my duties as member of the Board
of Health when an old woman came to me
for place. She explained why she
wanted that particular place and had the
nerve 10 offer me money if | would guar
antee her the position. [ informed her
that the Board of Health was not selling
places, and she unblushingly informed mo
that she had been told that places could
only be had by paying for them. | have
had many offers of money, and IN each
case have placed mark to distinguish
these applicants when their applications
come up for action"
This is my first experience in politics, !"
said DR.. Hart, "and the revelation is some
thing wonderful. Scores OF offers OF money
have been made, but you can bet none
were accepted. We propose to act fairly
and honestly and fulfill our obligations as
best we can. No person unworthy will re-
ceive recognition, let him be whomsoever
he may"
DR.. Morse also admits that there have
been some remarkable revelations, but
says: LAS one member of the Board of
Health | can assure you that when we
have concluded our labors the public will
have no cause to complain. We propose
to make San Francisco clean and healthy
and our officers will be a credit to the
City"
Mayor Sutro is authority for the state
ment that the present Market Inspector
will not be decapitated by the board.
The members of the Board of Health are
considering and preparing a list of ques-
tons which will be used by them in con-
Quoting their competitive examination for
health inspectors, which will not be held
for some time, as there are other matters
which the board desires to take up as soon
as possible.

FRANCHISES IN DANGER.
Electric Street Railways That Garry
Freight Must Report to the Kali
road commissioners.


The usual monthly meeting of the Rail-
road Commissioners was postponed yester-
day for week, as Commissioner Clarke
was prevented by delayed train from at
tending. Among the communications
upon the table for consideration was an
opinion from Attorney-General W. f.
Fitzgerald on street railways that have
been carrying freight and operating be-
yond the corporate limits OF cities where
they had obtained franchises.
The question had been raised by the
Commissioners as to whether the Hay
wards electric line from Oakland, the San
Francisco and San Mateo electric road
to Baden and some lines in Southern Cali
fornia, all of which carried freight and
still carry it, as we'll as passengers, should
not come under the control of the board.
Protests were entered by these companies
against making statement to the COM
mission, as other railways have to do once
year. And in that condition the ques-
ton was submitted to the Attorney-Gen-
eral for his opinion.
He held that it made no difference how
trains or cars were propelled, so far as the
railroad law is concerned If a railroad
company carries freight and passengers in
cars propelled by steam, electricity or ami
NAL power it was amenable to the COM
missions supervision and control.
He stated positively if proof could be
presented to him that any electric or other
road having franchise for street rail-
road is, to carry passengers only
was engaged in transporting freight
he would proceed at once to annul the
franchise. In such case the privilege would
be forfeited to the State. If, however, the
franchise was found to contain provis-
ion for handling freight then the company
should make its report to the Board of Rail

markedly low figure of $4,000 That amount
of money would give rs an exhibit that
could not be got together for less than
500. 900 were it necessary for us to gather

aside from other offers of assistance
we have arranged for our Congressman
and Senators to come to the exposition
and talk OF California, and it now remains
with you gentlemen to decide whether or
not we shall take advantage of an oppor-
tunity to make 100000 display for the
sum of $6000,"
John P. Irish welcomed the Supervisors,
saying: ~ hope you will do all you can
to assist the Board of Trade in this matter
and | want to call your attention to the
fact that you will have the current revenue
of the board and the assistance of private,
but philosophical men who will give their
support and their money to advance this
State. You are now III a way to do with a
small sum large amount of good"
A few other remarks from various quar-
tiers OF the hall were given, and A. Green
ing finally moved that sum of money not
to exceed $4,000 be allowed to make an ex-
hibit but this was not carried, owing to
the fact, as John Boggs of Colusa stated,
that it would be necessary to equalize the
sum of money each county was expected
to apportion to the fund.
Mark l.. Mcdonald of Sonoma appeared
on behalf of the Supervisors of his county
and stated that they were heart and hand
with the movement, but did not feel able
to appropriate any money. "Thls in a
great measure" said Mr.. Mcdonald, "is
true, but will guarantee that we will do
our share of the subscribing, if I have to
go down into my own pocket, and 1 will
get others to do SO. Sonoma, you can bet,
will come in.''
Hugh Craig, on behalf of the Cham Der
of Commerce. subscribed $3.50 to start the
ball rolling.
Mr.. Boggs moved that a committee of
five be appointed, the secretary of the
Board of Trade to be one. for the purpose
of making an eoualized assessment on each
county to raise the necessary funds, and to
report at the afternoon session. This mo-
ton was carried.
Secretary Hhlit read the following dis
patch from the Los Angeles Board of
Trade:
Owing to the inability of the Board of Trade
to attend the convention of the County Super
yisors in San Francisco in the interests of our
exhibition at Atlanta, am instructed to state
that Los Angeles will appropriate as much us

enterprise. A. w. FRANCISCO,

CHINESE ON A STRIKE.
why Sam Wah Wants to Hire Forty.
One White Women.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yester-
day received an order for forty-one white
women to work in Sam Wah's overalls
mandatory at 80 Jackson street. Wah
stated that the Chinese were very careless,
and were constantly breaking the sewing
machines, and he believed that white
women would do better work. Wah said
that he would pay as good wages as any
other manufacturer in the same line. That
is rs cents dozen for engineers overalls,
90 cents for ordinary overails and jumpers.
Wah said further that he would not retain
any Chinese, and the foreman would be a
white man.
Later i'll the day the true reason for the
Chlnaman's offer was learned.
Wah wanted his Chinese workmen to
stand one-half of the expense for breakage
OF the machines, and the whole force de-
cided to go out on a strike before submit
ting to any such terms. knowing that if
the men did strike it would be very diff
cult to fill their places with other Chinese,
he decided to employ white women.
one woman went to accept work, but
was told to return to-day, by which time
the result of the Chinese strike would be
known.

The application of Mrs. B. Rumney to
be appointed TO solicit woman's work for

The Mutual Light Company offered to
light the Pavilion, except the art gallery
and the offices, for $500, but it is considered
that this in conjunction with the bill for
gas would make the lighting too expensive,
therefore the offer was declined and the
lighting will be as in the past.
A. THAN was awarded the privilege OF

that for the sale of popcorn for $3.50.
