WILLIAMSON is ANNOYED.
Would Have Voted for Weaver's
Removal at the Latter'S
Request.
The Report That H Was Bought Off
With Patronage Indignantly
Denied.

DIR. Williamson of the Board of Health,
who has been the friend of Superintendent
Weaver of the Almshouse first, last and
all the time during the efforts of the
other members to oust him, is ANNOYED
and very indignant at the printed state
ments that he has been coaxed by
promises of patronage to desert Mr..
Weaver and vote for his removal
"lt is a malicious falsehood," he said
last evening, land 1 would give much to
learn where it started. As a matter of
fact it was my intention to vote for the
removal of the Weavers at the next meet
in OF the board, but for very different
reasons than those ascribed in the articles
in the evening papers.
"1f | do not vote for a change in the
Almshouse management it will be at the
special instance and request of Mr.. Weaver
himself. He called at my Office recently
in company with his wife and asked me
to vote for his removal. He stated that
the position l had taken in the matter had
made friction in the board and made me
more or less a mark for criticism by the
other members, and he desired to relieve
me OF this and also OF the chance of being
removed by the Governor to make room
Tor some one who would act with the ma
jority in making changes.
Mr.. Weaver said definitely that he in
tended making fight in the courts to be
relnstated as superintendent, and shat he
would prefer to have a friend on the board
If the case ever came into court.
81 was, and have always been, opposed
to the taking of the matter into the courts
to retain his position, because of the GER
taintv OF greater or less loss in the way
of efficiency in the management of the
Almshouse during the litigation, but as
long as he desired it / promised to vote
for his removal, and should certainly have
done SO except for the manner in which
the false report has been sent broadcast.
II have not given the matter the consid-
Grafton 1t deserves and do not know now
just how shall vote when the question
comes up before the board.
II certainly do not care to rest under the
imputation of having been bribed by
patronage into doing Governor Budd s
bidding. l would not care TO lose nv no.
sition as member of the Board of Health.
but l certainly would have allowed nv
self to be removed bv the Governor rather
than have voted for Mr. Weaver's removal

ISLAND HORSES IN CIRCUS.
Great Performance and UneguaIcd
Attendance Saturday Night.

Grent Performance and UneguaIcd
Attendance Saturday Night.
AT the announced final perfor-
nance of Wirth's circus on Satur-
day night, the tent was jammed
full of spectators, so that further
admissions to the gallery had to
be stopped before the opening of
the show. Interest in the per-
Torrance centered about the
debut of the two Hawaiian horses,
presented by Senator w. II. Rice
to Muriel Wirth and Hayes the
clown, respectively. The result of
introducing these fresh horses,
only a few weeks wild from the
corral, was simply astonishing.
While they were perhaps more
frisky than the old ringsters, Mr..
st. Leon had reduced them to per-
feet command. Kachail, the young
Javanese equestrian, rode them
standing bareback at full tilt for
many circuits, in which the animals
took" hurdles and high gate
with cleanliness and CELEBRITY that
could scarcely be surpassed by
thoroughbred hunters. Mr.. Rice,
who was present, was gratified at
the manner in which his stock
acquitted itself.
Muriel Wirth gave her remark.
able feat III tight wire walking
with the ease almost of an ordinary
walker on the ground. The peO-
pie never tire of seeing the dainty
Miss in this act. With her young
comrades, Elsie st. Leon and
Lucy Montgomery, Muriel also
appeared in the singing and
dancing act that has been among
the most popular features of the
circus since its opening.
Alberto gave a thrilling series
of acts on the trapeze, among
other daring feats hanging by his
feet to the upper bar. The rapid
ity with which he gyrated on the
bar and suspended himself in an
interminable variety of postures
was astonishing to a sensa-
tional degree. Lahl Sing,
Nellie Lyndhurst, Mr.. Montgo-
merry aud Miss Ida Vernon all 0p-
peared in their great equestrian
specialties, which with acrobatics
and ladder gymnastics by the COM
pany received volumes of applause.
1t was announced that, owing
to the delay Of the steamer to take
the circus to Japan, there would
be three performances this week
tonight, Wednesday and Satur-
day. The performance closed
with an amateur riding contest, in
which a motive boy succeeded in
making standing ride nearly all
round the ring.
