ise her TO plead guilty, which 1 very foolishly
did, for the charge was without foundation,
she would make ii comparatively light. car

ords show. Now she denies all of this.
The reform school stares me in the face, and

DAVE IS NOT POOH-DAH.
The Official Distinction Has Now
Fallen Upon City Engineer
Wilson.
DISCOVERY OF a CITIZEN.
The Road to the City Treasury Is
Altogether Too Easy at the
Present Time.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
908 Broadway, March Is.


908 Broadway, March 18. J
An energetic voter has written most
interesting communication to Mayor
Davie to prove that his Honor is not the
Pooh-Bah of the city's government. The
writer declares that the mantle is worn
BY Commissioner Wilson of the Board of
Works, and he asks the Mayor if there is
any law that permits any official to exer-
else so much license and discretion.
"Of course there is no such law" said
the Mayor to-day, "and I have no doubt,
as have often said before, that all his
acts are illegal, and if they are ever taken
before the Supreme Court will be so de-
clared. The various items mentioned are
perfectly correct"
The letter proceeds: GAS City Engineer
Mr.. Wilson recommends the construction
of public works, etc. He then prepares
the plans and specifications.
GAS Commissioner of Public Works he
approves his own plans and Specifications.
"As Commissioner OF Public Works he
approves his own bills for cost of prepar-
ing the plans and Specifications.
"As Commissioner awards and signs the
contract.
"As engineer he superintends the work.
''As Commissioner he passes on and ac-
cepts his report as engineer on the COM
pletion of the work.
"As engineer he gives the contractor
certificate for payments due on contract,
and
LAS Commissioner approves the claim
and orders it paid.
when the board Che being one Commits
sioner) orders engineering work done, the
engineer does the same.
"And as Commissioner approves the
claim for his own work"
II never followed the relationship so
closely" said the Mayor, "but l do not
think the Jaw ever intended that the way
from any officials Office to the treasury
should be quite as smooth
The dual position of City Attorney Peir-
sol is also touched upon. The commu-
nication says:
'As attorney he renders an opinion to
Board of Public Works.
"As Commissioner he acts on his opin.
ion as City Attorney
''As Police Commissioner he removed a
Chief of Police and rendered an opinion as
attorney that the action was legal.
'As Commissioner he rejected bid for
| the removal of garbage, but when appear
| ing before the Council as City Attorney he
gave an opinion that the bid was legal"
That's the substance of the whole mat
ter" said Mayor Davie, land when 1
| think of it almost wonder if /, the third
member of the board, should consider N.Y.
self in Office at all )"

Why Rev. c. H. Hobart Did Not
Draw d Bead on a
Burglar.
HIS REVOLVER WAS EMPTY.
The Pastor Might Have Killed Mine.
Owner Lyons Had His Car.
tridges Been Handy.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
q0S Broadway. March f8.

$40 DIoauWdy, Marcn 10.
Rev. c. H. Hobart, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, is an adept with gun.
Two years ago he made record at Suisun,
and his clerical brethren declare that it
has not yet been broken. Had this fact
been known TO venturesome burglar
who visited the pastors house at an early
hour last Sunday morning the Sabbath
breaker would probably have hesitated
before he essayed to become a house
breaker.
Just as the Sabbath was dawning and
the pastors mind was resting for the
labors of the day he was awakened by the
sound of his housekeeper running up
stairs, shouting. Mr.. Hobart hastened to
inquire into the cause of the trouble, and
soon discovered man on the back porch,
who had nearly succeeded in forcing a
window
Mr.. Hobart evidently excerpts the golden
rule In regard to burglars, for he secured
his revolver and started to the rear of the
house. On examining his revolver he dis
covered that all the chambers were empty
and his cartridges were downstairs. He
did not particularly care to search in the
dark Tor ammunition with the chance of
encountering an intruder, so he went to
the window and shouted at the fellow,
who was attacking the lower window.
The burglar looked at the minister and
verv quietly walked off.
On Sunday night another noise was
heard at the window, and an investigation
commenced, this time with a revolver
ready for business. After a thorough
search 1t was discovered that the noise was
the work of some prowling cats. The
pastor now keeps his gun ready for burg
lars and should any arrive tragedy might
follow. In speaking of the story to
friend, Mr.. Hobart said that he supposed
thieves worked on the principal that if
minister was struck on one cheek he would
placidly present the other for similar
treatment.
Mr.. Hobart's record as a shooter was
evidently not known to the burglar. About
two years ago the pastor was shooting
over Suisun marsh with a friend. The
friend owned a very valuable pointer. Mr..
Hobart was not particularly steady on
taking a sight. Ducks were not plentiful
but from among the marshes a few arose
and the minister hunter fired. The ducks
flew on undisturbed, there was a howl of
pain, and since then the pastors friend
has been the owner of fine dogskin rug
1t is all that remains of the pointer that
started the birds after Mr.. Hobart shot.
1t has been calculated that on the same
sight the pastor would have killed his
staunch member, John L. Lyons. who
lives across the lot, had he attempted to
wing the burglar
