MUCH HONEY INVOLVED.
TiItOn's Fee Claim Will Delay the
Assessment.
A Claim That if His Plans We're Not
Followed the Whole Contract
May Be Avoided.

The contest between Surveyor Tilton and
ex-Surveyor Fitzhugh, concerning the fees
for making plans for the Richmond sewer
outlet is liable to cause more trouble than
was at first supposed.
The Superintendent of Streets is at pres
ent engaged in making an assessment OF
the district for the payment of the con-
tractors. The work will be paid for at so
much a square foot. The money due the
contractors, it is stated in the Superinten-
dent of Streets Office, will be over $4,000.
With the printing, Surveyors fees and
other incidental expenses, the total cost
of the work will approximate 100000. All
this money is involved in the fight be-
tween the Surveyors.
According to the law, the Street Superin-
tendent cannot make an assessment and
issue his certificate SO that the contractors
can get their money until all the incidental
expenses have been paid. The assessment
would be ready next week were it not for
the contention of the two Surveyors, but
as the law will not permit the Street Super
intendent to issue the assessment for the
district until the incidental expenses are
paid, the pay of the contractors will be
necessarily delayed.
But more than this. Surveyor Tilton,
who is going to make big fight over the
matter, now makes another claim. He
says that under the resolution of intention
under which the Richmond sewer was con-
structed it was expressly stated that the
work should be done under plans and spec
cifcations prepared by him. These resolu-
tons of intention read as follows:
Resolution of Intention No. 8629 Third Sc
ries)--Resolved, That is the intention of the
board to order the following street work in the
cltV and c0untV of San Francisco aprOrdipO N
the plans and specifications prepared by c. S.
Tilton, City Engineer.
Adopted in May, 1898.
Resolution No. 9613 Third Series)-Resolved,
That the assessment maps of the district
affected and benefited by the construction of
the Richmond sewer outlet, as prepared by the
expenses thereof, as described in Resolution of
Intention No. 1929 third series) of the Board
of Supervisors, be and the same are hereby APP
proved.
Adopted November 27, 1898.
The first resolution, it is claimed by
Tilton, positively provides that the work
must be done according to his plans and
specifications. The second resolution says
the assessment district must be made ac-
eording to the resolutions (No. 8629) Just
quoted.
Tilton's claim is that if the contractors,
with these resolutions before them, per-
formed the work according TO other plans
and specifications than his, namely, those
of Fitzhugh, their work can be legally OBJ
iected to and might be invalidated in the
courts on the refusal of property-owner
to pay. He holds that the contractors had
no right to go beyond the resolutions of
intention and do the work under any other
plans than those called for in the adver-
tisement.
The Richmond sewer has given more
trouble in five years than any other work
ever performed in the city.

had two children they were divorced and
the wife returned to the Sobrero villa, out
side Turin, while Wilcox remained in the
islands.
Shortly after Wilcox wrote to his brother
in-law, Count Sobrero, urging him to go to
Honolulu, and telling him of the great
business opportunities there.
6obrero accordingly went to Honolulu,
but after remaining three months, without
finding anything to do, he came to San
Francisco with $140O in his pocket.
He started by giving Italian and fencing
lessons, married about eighteen months
ago, and is now bookkeeper in Gusmani &
Co.'s fishstore.
The Count has had some experience in
active warfare himself. During the Italian
campaign in Abyssinia, Sobrero, then a
lieutenant, distinguished himself signally
at Karen, on the march from Massona to
Sardi, by averting the explosion of mine
which had been prepared for the destruc-
ton of the Italians. His conspicuous
bravery on that occasion won him a di-
ploma from the italian Government.
He is much disturbed about Wilcox;
thinks there is no hope for him if cap
tured, and that his chance of escape is
small

CITY WATER BILL VETOED.
The Authorization Is Returned to the
Board.
Mayor SutrO DiSapprOVes the December
Water Charges Of the Spring
Valley Company.

Mayor Sutro sent another veto message
to the. Board of Supervisors yesterday,
being the second since he took office. In
both instances the Mayor disapproves of
measures passed to print by the last board
and finally passed by the present. The
veto filed yesterday was the disapproval of
an authorization to pay the bill of the
Spring Valley Water Company for the
month of December. The amounts of the
bill which the board authorized are as fol-
lows: For furnishing water to public
buildings, $2063 70; for squares and parks
$725 81; for fire hydrants, $5710. Total
$8499 a. The reasons given by the Mayor
for disappearing the payment of the bill
are not known, and will not be until the
message is opened at the next meeting of
the Board of Supervisors. Judging from
the bulk of the envelope in which the
message is inclosed the Mayor has ex-
pressed his views at length.
At the Mayors Office it was stated that
the contents of the veto message would not
be made known until it was opened at the
proper time, as it would not be courteous
to the Board of Supervisors to do other
wise. 1t is supposed that one of the OBJ
jections of the Mayor is that the bill
authorized to be paid is not specific enough,
and that more definite items of the amount
of water furnished and the number of
hydrants supplied should be given.

From this letter it would seem as though
the revolution was hastily planned and as
hastily executed. But from his naming

he must have been anything but confident
of success.

concerning Wilcox and himself. In 1881

brightest among them was Robert Wilcox

1t is a Question of Evidence and Ar

The case against Frank Larrabee, charged
with murder, is now on argument, and
will be finished to-day if nothing unfore-
seen happens. Assistant District Attorney
Black made his opening address yester-
day morning, after some expert testimony
was given as to insanity and its vagaries.
DR.. George Franklin Shields and Dr. E.
K. Johnston appeared for the defense, and
each could see, as plain as it was possible to

was then called for the prosecution, and he
conld see, equally as plain, that Larrabee
was not at all crazy-merely in jealous
rage at the time of the murder
Mr.. Blacks argument turned upon the
insanity question, and he pointed to the
fact that the man had written letters tell
ing of his intention to commit the murder
days before the tragedy.
Walter Hinkle for the defense followed
him, he taking the ground that the crime

Report OF the Committee on Public
Health.
When the evening session opened Mr..
Gibson read a communication signed by all
the Superior Judges of the city and county
stating that the Law Library was a great
benefit to them and asking that the board
do nothing to curtail the financial support
of the institution and thus cripple it's
efficiency.
Freebooter Anderson presented the re-
port of the committee on the health de-
partment which he said contained MANY
changes from the old regulations. The
provision relating to the appointment of
the Board of Health called for the naming
of members by the Mayor instead of by the
Governor of the State. The pay of the
four visiting physicians at the City and
County Hospital, which was 500 per
month, was cut off by the new rules and
the positions were made purely honorary.

Department shall be made after fair, i'm

All plumbers in the city and county
must register their names and addresses
with the Board of Health, and all plans for
sanitary plumbing, the results of which
may affect the public health, must be done
on specifications approved by the Board of
Health and on permit from that body.
The Supervisors may submit the 9ues-
ton as to the expediency of closing and
removing the city cemeteries to vote of

shall abide by the decision reached upon
such vote.
Going back to the report of the election
committee Mr.. Sloss introduced a motion
which was carried, that any member al

shall fail to carry out the instructions
given him, or shall in any manner send in
false returns, shall be guilty of a INSIDE

The question as to whether the present
system of registering should be allowed to
stand was freely discussed, and it was
finally, on motion of Mr.. Scott, decided to
abolish the registration bureau at the new
City Hall and compel voters to register at
the precinct booths.

Woes of Those Who Want to Be Freed

Mrs. Mamie Elizabeth Gerhardt has
brought suit against her husband, Frank
Jacob Gerhardt, to have him restrained
from selling her household furniture as he
threatens, to compel him to surrender to
her her personal property and the clothes
and belongings of their child, and to be
allowed alimony pending the granting of
a divorce, for which she also prays.
The complaint alleges that the defendant
is habituafly incorporate, and that he
beats the plaintiff in most inhuman
manner. He has possession of all the
household furniture and threatens to sell
it, and his wife has become so much afraid
of him that she dare not live with him.
She has, therefore, brought action for relief.
Anthony Mclean has sued for divorce
from his wife, Carrie, whom he charges
with being too intimate with certain
George Watt. He does not think she is a
fit person to care for their two children.
and he asks the court to grant him decree
and allow him to take the children in his
own custody.

ROD VERSUS MAN.
A New Form of Sport for Others Beside
Fishermen.

n w" wi IL VI Dpchs AOf OShprs Dcsluo
Fishermen.
From the London Sketch. 80
Rod VS.. Man contests are a form OF
sport which is becoming popular as a
pastime among the legitimate disciples of
old Izaak. 1t is a rough-and-ready sort
of amusement, but IL is calculated to
bring out a certain amount of skill on
the part of the rodsman, and a very con-
siderable amount of muscular powers
while on the part of the fish," first
class swimming powers are of course,
the first necessity, while endurance and
the exercise of the greatest judgment
are of prime Importance. The modus
operandi is as follows: The water being
chosen, the fish," male or female, pre-
sents itself in proper swimming attire
A sort of brace made to fit over the
shoulders and fasten at the back is then
fixed to the subject At this back part an
arrangement is made, generally by means
of a ring, to which is attached the line
of the angler. This can be done in vari-
Gus ways, the most common means
adopted being a spring swivel. This
done, the fish dives into the water, and
the play commences. The object of the
fish," of course, is to keep as far as
possible from the angler. or to break his
line, while the anglers object is to bring
his quarry to bank, or within gazing dis
lance. Ten minutes are generally allaw-
ed for the contest, which usually ends in
q victory for the fish,
