was required of them with directness and
at once. If any trouble should occur in
Chinatown hereafter they could not be
held blamable, for they would do every
thing possible to prevent it. At a late
hour Chief Crowley arrived and gave the
merchants a talk, and to him they also
gave assurance that they would cooperate
to prevent trouble.
Several boxes of cigars were smoked DUR
ing the deliberations. There we're as
many smokes as Irving told about in his
history OF New York. About midnight
the Assem- bled merchants had all gone
home, carrying their good resolutions
with them. All they want is protection

Mr.. ..HAMMON'S TANDEM,
With a Kite Team He Hunts
for a Lofty Atmos-
pheric Pressure.
One of the Forecaster's Filters Gives
=. an Aerial Acrobatic Per.
formance.

Forecaster Harmon hitched up his
tandem team of big kites yesterday and
went up into the clouds for a weather
report. The bureau does not provide Mr..
Hammon with a balloon for breeze
chasing and moisture measuring in the
upper attitudes; consequently he must
take his lcarian flights in accordance with
the DEGREES of gravitation and only go
aloft officially. So the forecaster hitched
q mile and halt of fine piano wire to his
three kites, at the corner of Scott and
Waller streets, and turned them into the
atmosphere.
The FIRST of those odd-looking aerial
contrivances-a white muslin box with
the ends and a portion of the sides left
of-went up through the twenty-five-mile
wind for about 1000 feet, when a helper
was hooked on 1t sailed away, mounting
rapidly ito the same distance, while the
first kite went perhaps 500 feet higher. A
third kite, larger than the other two,
having on ferty-four square feet, was
added to the team, and soon the three
were pulling with weight of fifty pounds
on the wire reel. The first kite reached
an altitude of about 1000 feet.
After passing above the 800 or 900 feet
height the kites became steady, proving
that the strong breeze only blew at that
distance from the earth, and was "sur-
face wind" NoinstrumeEts were sent up
on the kites. it being only the intention of

to Colonel Taylor's statements. In fact
he declined to say that the matter had
been considered, but at the same time he
would not deny it.
II can tell you one thing" SAID Mr..
Maskey, ''and that is all can say. The
Grand Jury will not adjourn yet, but will
remain in session longer"
Supervisor Benjamin denied that Mr..
Taylor had mentioned the name of any
Supervisor or spoken about specific charges
OF bribery at their meeting Tuesday.
''Mr. Taylor said to me he had heard ru-
mors that certain members of the board
had been bribed," said Mr.. Benjamin last
night, land also that they had received
money, but he did not specify amounts
or whom he had heard the rumors
about. He just made the remark to me
that certain members of the board had re-
ceived money.
"He did not say this to me (read-
ing from the article in THE CALL
of yesterday: i told them that 1
knew they were corrupt and that I
could prove it, and that if they wanted to
go with me l would take them to a man
who had paid them money. and that l
would show them to their faces that they
had been bribed and how much they sold
out for He didn't say it to me. He

A GARNISHMENT
ON MAHER'S FUNDS,
The Pugilist's Receipts at

JIM CARR'S OLD BILL.
Peter Was Not So Opulent on
His Last Visit to
This Coast.
SQUARE MEALS SCARCE THEN.

animation.

The Sheriff, personated by Deputy Dick
O'Connor, took a hand in Peter Maher's
boxing exhibition at the Peoples Palace
last evening by lacing garnishment on
the box receipts, or that portion of them
belonging to the heavy pugilist.
Years ago, when Maher was on this
coast, he was not so opulent as he is at
the present time and it was sometimes big
luck to have comfortable board and lodg-
ing. In those days Jim Carr was better
off in the goods of this world than he is
now, and when Peters funds ran low and
there was prospect of square meals COM
ing with less frequency than before, he
allowed Maher to eat drink and be merry
without putting up ready coin that was so
scarce.
When Maher left for the East after a
season that jim Corbett would have desig-
mated as a .'dead cold frost'' he owed Carr
$74 20 for board, money advanced and
goods delivered. Not long afterward Carr
failed, and in his list of assets filed in his
insolvency papers he included this debt
AS long as Maher was in the East boxing
with more or less pugilistic and financial
success that $74 20 was uncoliectible, but
when Peter came to this coast and after
falling to get on a match with Choynski
decided to raise funds by knocking out a
few local men in limited number of
rounds, Edward P. Tobin. who was Carr's
assignee. saw a chance to collect the
money for the creditors.
Y esterday he filed complaint in the
Justice Court, in which he demanded
judgment for the amount due, and took
out garnishment against the box re-
ceipts.
When the manager of the Peoples Pal
ace was served with the papers last even
ing he denied having any money belong
ing to Maher. which was probably true
from the fact that Maher had not given
his exhibition and was not yet entitled to
any of the receipts.
There was no alternative, however, for
the deputy, as the garnishment specifi-
caily stated that service should be made

Denial That the Supervisors
Were Charged With
Corruption.
MAsKEY Is LIKE THE SPHINX
But He Says the Grand Jury Will
Continue in Session a Little
Longer.

Supervisor Taylor was busy man yes
terday. Half dozen men. including
members of the board and of the Grand
Jury, called on him to hear from his own
lips the discoveries he has made regarding
the bribery of Supervisors by agents of big
corporations.
Colonel Taylor does not intend to allow
the fruits of his discovery to be destroyed
by telling anv facts further than those i'm
parted to THE CALL on Tuesday except to
the representatives of the Grand Jury. To
others he admitted that he had heard OF
bribery, but refused to give any definite
information.
He is ready, however, to impart the in
formation in his possession at the proper
time to the Grand Jury or any one who is
authorized to receive it.
The statement made by Colonel Taylor
may cause the Grand Jury to prolong its
session. The finances of the city and
county have been the subject of more
discussion than have all other topics
combined, and this was, in fact,
the matter which caused the jurors
several weeks ago to decide to keep
at work until some time in July
at least. They determined to keep an eye
upon what might occur in the direction of
piling up expenses against the City and
County in large estimates and appropria-
tions.
One of the leading members of the jury
said one month ago that he and also other
members of the jury dee med it advisable
to continue their deliberations, that
what moral pressure the jurors have as a
body might be exerted. One development
has succeeded another. Now that direct
accusations affecting the acts of certain
members of the Board of Supervisors,
in connection with the reductions in
assessments of large corporations, have
been made by Supervisor Taylor, on the
authority of an informant, the proceed
ings of the Grand Jury bid fair to be con-
siderably prolonged.
Foreman Maskey of the Grand Jury said
last evening that he must positively refuse
to say anything concerning what has
taken place in the Grand Jury in reference

A scant half house full of people sat pa
tiently until Ii o'clock last night in the
Peoples Palace with the expectation OF
seeing Peter Maher put local heavy
weights to sleep and then had to be salts
fed with two of the tamest three-round
goes that were ever seen in this City.
No single round of the six reached a full
minute in duration and the show was
soundly hissed.
Joe Connolly danced around first, while
Maher tapped him at will, and when he
retired amid shower of misses. Billy
Smith: of Australia took his place for
three one minute rounds.
Smith tried to return Maher's gentle
taps, but the Irish champio is both quick
