The speaker added that if the law ex-
tending the terms of County officers to
four years applied 20 San Francisco it in
cluded all under the wording:
"All elective county and township" Off
GERS, and the Supreme Court had decided
th at San Francisco was county.
He moved that Garret McEnerney be
employed to take the matter before the
courts. Mayor Sutro suggested that Judge
McKinstry be employed to serve as the at
torney of the board during the registration
period at $500 per month.
Both motions were voted down.
Then Mr.. CreswelI sharply gave notice
that he would vote against all expenditures
until the question was settled, because he
would be personally responsible for all
moneys expended illegally by the board.
Auditor Broderick did not believe that
the law applied to San Francisco, and he
did not think that the board could get a
decision from the Supreme Court before
the beginning of registration.
Here the discussion was dropped, and
the clerk was authorized to advertise for

DANGER IN WATER.
Why People Should Be Careful What
They Drink, Especially at This
Time of Year.


"Do you know that there is a dangerous
poison in half the water we drink? ?"
1t was an eminent professor of natural sci
ence who recently made this startling remark
81 am only stating a fact" he continued,
''when assert that in the springtime nearly
all our drinking water con tatns traces of poi
sonous vegetable or animal matter. We drink
this water, the poison gets into our system,
and it is largely the cause of so many people
feeling weak, worn out and sickly at this sea-
son.
"Do 1 recommend boiling the water? No,
do not, for while that may kill the disease
germs, il does not remove them. far better
way is to use pure whiskey with it. The best
physicians in America unhesitatingly declare
this, but-and bear this most carefully in
mind-it must be pure whiskey. for impure
impure whiskey is worse than water"
The professor is certainly right, and he
might have appropriately added that scientific
men are also fully agreed that no whiskey used
in America to-day is so chemically pure, so
free from fusel OIL as Duffy's pure malt. 1t
whiskies. Why? Simply because it has done
wonders for people who needed strength, vigor
and vitality. Thousands testify to the great
benefit derived from taking it, Leading ply
siclans say it is undoubtedly the best thing for
counteracting the evil effects of poisonous
water. They also indorse ii as the best remedy
for tired feelings and spring weakness. AS
there are many inferior limitations of Duffy s
pure malt, care should be taken when pur-
chasing to see that none of these is subs tituted
by the dealer.

There was Mr.. Tcwle, who owns the hotel
at Towles station, and who is engaged in
the lumber business there and ships a
great deal of freight over the road. There
was Mr.. Shell, who is engaged in the malt
ing business at Sacramento. He was a
passenger on the train at time of the oc-
currence. He does great deal of freight
ing over the road also. There was John
Manson, physician, who is engaged in
the hospital department of the railroad at
Towles. He is also engaged in the fruit
business and does shipping.
There were Mrs. DR.. Manson and r. n.
Manson, son of DR.. Manson. The son is
engaged in fruit-drying at Lincoln station
All of these happened to be at the station
at Towles when the conductor put Martin
off the train, all of them saw that Martin
was lame and gave it as their opinion-all
but the conductor and Sheli-that he had
stopped there for his health. They were
unanimous on the point that there was no
show OF physical force on the part of the
conductor in putting him off the train, but
on the contrary that he assisted Martin
across the tracks toward the railroad
station.
Then there was Mr.. Roos of the passen-
ger department. of the railroad part of

The EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
The Harbor Com missioner Investiea
State Work on the Water Front

The Harbor Com missioner Investi gates
State Work on the Water Front.
Unless Contractors Galloway & Townley
change their plans they will be likely to
lock horns with Labor Commissioner Fitz-
gerald. These contractors have received a
contract from the Harbor Commissioners
to construct shed over the pier at the foot
of Howard street. Yesterday Business
a gent Saunders called at the Labor Bu-
reau and informed Deputy C. L. Dam that
the contractors propose to work the car
penters and other laborers nine hours a
day, which would be in violation of the
State law, which makes eight hours a le-
gal days work.
Saunders and Dam called upon Mr..
Townley, who stated that he does not pro-
pose to pay the men by the day but by the
hour, and that the men may quit work
whenever they desire. However,, he had
figured upon doing nine hours work in a
day. Saunders claimed that this is only
an evasion of the law. because in the con-
tract the following clause appears:
And it is expressly stipulated that eight
hours OF labor shall be legal days work un-
der this agreement, and all the provisions of
Chapter y, Title VII, OF the Political Code ap-
pllcable thereto are to be deemed as incor-
porated herein.
Deputy Dam took the same view of the
situation and said that when the work
really begins, probably to-day he will see
that the spirit of the law is enforced. If
the contractors work their men more than
eight hours the Labor Commissioner will
apply to the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners to interfere on the ground that the
hours of labor appear in the specifications
and contract. Should there be any hitch
there the matter will be taken into court
and the Harbor Commissioners enioined
from paying any money upon State con-
tract the terms of which are not carried
out in letter and spirit. 1t is the desire of
the Labor Com missioner to make a test
case of this or some similar case, as there
are number of outstanding State con-
tracts where, it is rumored, the contrac-
tors propose to work the men over eight
hours, labor unions, State law and COM
missIoners Notwithstanding.
