The Harbor Commissioners Wish to
Know Where They stand.
E. L. Colnon, President Of the State
Board of Harbor Commissioners, came
up from San Francisco yesterday to
confer with Governor Budd in relation
to the powers Of the board
He is here to present to the Board of
Examiners to-day claim that involves
the legality of the Harbor Commission
ers' acts. It is the bill of Bateman
Bros. for $33 in connection with the
new depot at the ferry landing in San
Francisco, upon which there is a dis
pute between the Attorney-GeneraI and
the attorney for the Board of Harbor
Commissioners as to how the board
should proceed in letting the contracts
for the erection of the depot. ntil it is
determined the work will be at a stand
still. If the bill is rejected by the Ex-
aminers to-day, suit viii probably be
brought to determine the matter judi
cially before the contract is let for the
erection of the depot
The Wells Fargo Company, as agents
for Bateman Bros, presented their
claim yesterday to Secretary Markley,
with written instructions from the firm
to have it acted on Immediately and
withdraw it if rejected, and send it
back to the contractors. Secretary
Markley, however, informed the rep
resentative of the express company
that if he received it it would become
a record of the board and could not
be taken away without its consent, and
the company therefore declined to de-
liver the bill.
The matter will come up before the
board to-day and action will be taken
that will open the way to a solution of
the question

VAN ZANDT AND PAUL.

They Were Both Held to Answer for
the johnson Robbery.
Arthur Van Zandt and R. Paul, who
were examined on Wednesday on a
charge of robbery committed on An
drew Johnson, were held to answer yes
terday before the Superior Court.
The court said that he had carefully
considered the case and the circum-
stances showed them to have most
abandoned and malignant natures. The
man was terribly beaten and if their
purpose was robbery, entirely unnec-
essary. The evidence chowed that there
had been some slight difference be-
tween the defendants and Johnson, but
not to any extent that warranted such
treatment. Berg had testified that he
watched the defendants follow Johnson
until they went around the corner. He
believed there was cause to hold them
for robbery. The plea had been made
for them that they were respectable
men, but the fact that they left their
homes and went down town to carouse
in the lowest dens there proved to his
mind that they lacked the elements
that make respectability. He therefore
held them to answer, with bail fixed
at $1,000 each.

COOK MUST PAY THE PIPER
City Attorney Brown Describes His At
tempt to Keep the Peace.
The Court Thought O'Brien Did Not
Disturb the Peace, and There
fore Discharged Him.

William Cook and George O'Brien
were tried in the Police Court yesterday
for disturbing the peace.
George Moore, proprietor of the Pull
man saloon, and others testified to there
having been some trouble in the saloon
between Cook and another young man.
Moore stopped it, and after the crowd
went out doors there was a general fight
on the corner of Fourth and K streets.
Peter Stortz testified that when the
fight commenced City Attorney Brown
commanded the crowd to stop and Cook
struck him.
officer Maley testified to arresting
Cook and O'Brien and that Cook had a
revolver in his pocket, which witness
had some trouble in getting away from
him. After he arrested them they used
the vilest language all the way down to
the station.
City Attorney Brown testified to hear
ing the noise of the row and the break
ing Of a window He heard some one
call Drop that hat" and saw a man
running. He stopped the man, think
ing that he had stolen something, and
was told that the crowd was going to
do him up" He told him that he
should not be hurt, and while the crowd
were fighting at Fourth and K the man
ran back there. Witness went down
and commanded them to stop. Some one
struck at him and he ducked and was
struck on the back of the head He did
not know whether it was Cook or NOT
AS the crowd came around him he
drew his pistol and told them to stand
back. They did so and he put it back
in his pocket. Shortly afterward a man
told him that Cook had taken his pistol
from his pocket. Officer MaIey came up
and he asked Maley to arrest Cook and
three other men, who were a little
further down the street. He and Maley
arrested Cook and O'Brien and the
former refused to give up the pistol and
threatened to shoot. Cook was very
active in the fight and O'Brien was very
drunk and did not fight much.
Cook testified that he did not know
who Brown was, but that when he put
the pistol back in his pocket, he Cook
went around and took it out and told
O'Brien that he had got Browns gun
and he could not do anything now. He
did not know Maley and therefore re-
fused to give UP the pistol. He ad
mitted that he called Maley by name,
however, but claimed that the officers
treated him roughly. When he was
struck with something he did not know
anything more till he found himself
handcuffed.
Justice Davis said there was nc. ques-
ton but that there had been a disturb
ance of the peace, but there did not
seem to be any evidence that O'Brien
had anything to do with the row, more
than being present and drunk. He
therefore discharged O'Brien and found
Cook guilty and will sentence him to-
day.

Wide-Tire ordinanee.

Eds. Record Union: read few
lines in the Record Union" copied
from the San Diego Union" that ought
to be reprinted in italics, that Sacra-
mento road officials may see the same.
-Four southern counties were ready to
adopt the wide-tire ordinance, and are
waiting for the fifth to fall into line
for the sensible Improvement.
The writer says that 100000 can be
saved those counties in five years on
road taxes, and as much more in time,
wear and tear to freighters and the
general public. If Sacramento County
would pass an ordinance increasing
the size of team wheels and width of
tires, from that estimate we might
save half as much. quite likely, as these
five counties.
/ am Of the opinion that no place in
the State would be more benefited by
such an ordinance than Sacramento.
Why do not our influential men talk
this matter up little and let the half
million band that was talked of a year
ago rest under the table. Our country
roads. properly graded and drained.
and rolled by broad tires in five years
would be in such an irnroved condition
as would astonish the traveller
