Supervisor Hobbs stated that the $35, 600
appropriated by the Legislature for the
purchase of a home for the inebriates
would not be expended for that purpose,
but would be turned into the general
fund at the end of the fiscal year. This
statement brought forth the remark from
Secretary Van Duzer that during the past
year no less than 1435 persons had been
arrested in this City for drunkenness, and
that he was opposed to building a fine
house to take this class of disslpated in
dividuals to.
Judge Van Reynegom offered the fol-
lowing:
The Mission Defense and Improvement Union
respectfully request and urge upon the honor
able Board of Supervisors of San Francisco that
the action proposed by said board in btu
miniZing certain blocks of Dolores street be
postponed until action shall have been had

There is a good deal of originality about
the Guild of Arts and Crafts exhibition,
which opened yesterday evening at 219
Sutter street.
In the first place the walls are divided
into sections, and each member who is an
artist has been given his own bit OF wall
to fill, in the manner which pleased him
best. The result is series of private ex-
hibitions, so to speak, each of which is
stamped with the originality of its owner.
Peixotto has given vein to his decided
talent as a draughtsman, and has shown
principally pen and ink sketches. Lati-
mer. Judson and some of the other busy
bees of the fraternity have filled every
inch of their sections with paintings, while
other painters have made very few pic
lures do duty for adorning large amount
of wall. The result is interesting and
characteristic, even if it is bit hetero-
geneous.

Mission Defense Club held its usual

The San Francisco delegation, number
ing twenty-seven, held lengthy meeting
with the County Executive Committee
last evening at Mozart Hall.
Chairman Z. ID. johnson presided while
the executive committee was in session. 1t
was found that four delegates would not
be able to go to Sacramento, and their
places were filled with w. w. Sanderson,
H. J. Tobias, Hugo Hornlein and Mrs. T.
Y. Gator.
The delegation then met, electing E. S.
Barney chairman and w. e. Walker Sec
retary. T. V. Gator said that the conven-
tion would come to order promptly at 10
A. n. next Tuesday and that 1t was urgent
that the delegates go up Monday evening.

then.

was resolved to caucus at A. NJ. Tuesday

Q08 Broadway MAY g

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, May 9.
Mayor Davie pulled down the fence
across the Eighth-street bridge tonight
and Superintendent of Streets Miller at
once rebuilt it. The Street Superintendent
has been advised by the City Attorney
that he did only his duty when he closed
the bridge and he advises him to keep it
closed.
City Attorney Piersol said to Mr.. Miller
to-day: I'm answer to your question as to
whether or not the Mayor has any power
as such to direct the removal of said
barriers, | would advise that the Mayor
as such has no right or power to interfere
with you in your performance of this duty.
The City Council is the governing body of
the city, and the Mayor, as such, has no
powers except those specifically con-
terred upon him by the charter and ordi.
nances hereunder.
While engaged in causing tt e removal
of said barriers his capacity could be no
higher than that OF private citizen, and
you can, II necessary, invoke the protec-
ton OF the courts in the performance of
your official duty. But with view to up
holding the good name OF the city. and
considering the frailties of human nature,
any procedure OF that nature should only
be adopted as last resort, and after all
reasonable efforts have failed in carving
out the orders of the Council"
If the Mayor should again pull down
the fence the Street Superintendent will
probably arrest him.
The Mayor says his power in the prem
ises is absolute, and declares that he will
keep the bridge open now that it is safe.

Many of the Members Are Not Pleased
With the Idea = Large At.
tendance Anticipated.

If Brown is sufficiently well he will
preach at the California-street Methodist
Church this morning at IL o'clock. Such
was the programme agreed on at late
hour last night.
DR.. Goodwin's flock is not by any means
unanimous as to the propriety of their
pastors course. Those opposed to Browns
appearance in the pulpit contend that
it is slap at their common brethren
in Christ which will be likely to injure
the cause of religion generally even if it
does not hurt the California-street Metbo-
dist Church. Most of those who think
this way will not attend the morning
service.
The trustees have not as yet received
any offers for the First Church property.
The statement made in morning paper
Yesterday to the effect that the Catholics
were making an effort to secure the church
was probably founded on an attempt made
in that direction many years ago.
The movement on the part of Browns s
friends to start an independent church or
society has made no practical progress as
yet. They are willing and anxious to
come together in support OF their un-
frocked friend, but that gentleman seems
to be playing for higher game just at pres
ent OF course, If he can do nothing bet
ter he will accept their support.
There will be no services of any charac-
er whatever at the First Church to-day.

Injury 10 Seed Wheat in Ohio.

Comparatively little Of this years
wheat crop in Ohio was threshed
or housed before the rains set in,
and in consequence the grain,
which was poor in quality to begin
with, has been further injured by
sprouting in the shock.
The Experiment Station is
making termination tests, both
with wheat grown on the Station
farm and with samples sent in from
other parts Of the State. In one of
these tests comparison was made
between wheat of this years crop,
which has stood in the shock
throughout the wet spell, and
similar lots OF grain grown In 1895,
1891 and 1893. The wheat was
planted in carefully prepared gard
ell soil on August II, and warm,
showery weather followed. With
in FIVE days eighty per cent of the
seed OF this yeac had germilaied
and was growing nicely, and three
days later three per cent more had
appeared above ground.
:, The old wheat all started a little
more quietly than the new, and
Just eighty per cent of that planted
was. above ground on the fifth day,
but only one more plant had APP
peared on the eighth day, the per-
centage of gorminatIon on that
day being eighty-one for the wheat
of 1893, seventy-nine for 1891,
eighty one for 1896 and eighty
three for 1896.
Apparently, therefore, ID is safe
10 use wheat ofthis years growth
for seed, except where the con
dition is exceptionally bad; but in
view Of the less vigorous growth
shown at first in this test The
station would advise the use Of
larger quantity of seed than or
dinary. 1t should be observed
that this test was made under ex'
ceptlonally favorable conditions,
aud in unfavorable weather it
would be reasonable to- expect that
II larger proportion of the seed
would full to grow.
