OAKLAND CREEK BRIDGE
The War Department Grants a
Fifteen Months Extension
of Time.
The Cost of $4,000 Will Be Borne
Equally by Alameda County
and the Railroad.

The proba bility is that there will be only
one new bridge across Oakland Greek.
between Oakland and Alameda, instead of
Pacific Railroad Offices yesterday that Sec
rotary of War Herbert had granted an ex-
tension of time in which to arrange the
proposed consolidation of the Alameda
County Supervisors and the Southern
Pacific in regard to the construction of a
combination bridge. The original time
would have expired next August, but the
extension gives about fifteen months from
this date in which to construct the bridge.
The next thing in order now is a con-
ference between the Supervisors OF Ala
media County and the Southern Pacific
officials in regard to the plans of the
meeting, but it will doubtless be held soon,
as all the time granted will doubtless be
consumed. in building the bridge.
The com bination bridge will be one OF
the finest in the State. 1t Will be a steel
structure with stone ahutments. The
draw will be $50 feet wide The cost of
the new structure will be about $50, 900.
The location OF the bridge has not yet
been finally determined. 1t may replace
the present structure at Webster avenue
or be built between that avenue and Alice
street.
The plans will, in all probability, be
made by the Southern Pacific. No wor
to speak of has yet been done upon them,
and the details are therefore not deter
mined. 1t is considered probable that
the wagon and pedestrian floor will be
above the railroad tracks

THE BILL-P0STERs MEET.
Elect Officers, Discuss Art and Catchy
Things Generally in Advertising.

Elect officers, Discuss Art and Catchy
Things Generally in Advertising
The members of the Pacific Coast Bill
B., posters Association, representing the
States OF California, Oregon, Washington,
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah,
met at the Russ House yesterday after
noon and last night. w. II. Lee of Santa
Rosa, the president, called the meeting to
order and made brief and interesting
speech setting forth the progress made in
the art of bill-posting. The reports OF the
secretary and treasurer showed the asso-
citation in q healthy condition financially
and that there were sixty-hVe members,
with many applications from persons de-
sirous of becoming members.
officers were elected for the ensuing year
as follows: w. II. Lee of Santa Rosa
president; w. 6. Humphrey, Stockton,
vice president; ]. II. Simpson, San Fran
cisco, secretary; w. a. Caswen, Sacra-
mento, treasurer.
Modern methods in bill posting were
discussed 1t as brought out that one OF
ths most vital things in reference TO bill
hosting was to furnish vouchers TO adver-
Users showing that the bills ordered had
actually been posted and where the post
ing was done. Invitations were received
from the theaters offering seats to the
members. An invitation was also ex-
tended by the California Adsigns Com
pany for a drive in the park to-day and a
luncheon at the Cliff House. These will
probably be accepted.

WATCHING FINANCES.
Supervisors Will r etrench to Avoid
Deficiencies in Municipal Funds
During the Year.


The proceedings of the meetings of the
committees of the Board of Supervisors
suggest that retrench,ment in municipal
offices and departments will be the order
for the present at least.
The Finance Committee at its session
yesterday arranged for meeting in the
Mayors office with President Sabin of the
telephone company. Supervisor Rottanzi
has taken the lead in economy in the
m after of telephones and will try to see
that contract advantageous to the City
is made.
The bills for meat furnished the iails
were closely scrutinized and signatures
withheld. The icemah's account for cool
in material for the filter in the Clerk s
office was also the subject of comment. 1t
was thought that 81 a month was too
much and that the expense must be cut
down.
The Street Lights Committee is also pre-
pairing to retrench. The overdrafts on the
street tights fund has left very little for
the new committee to work on for some
time to come, and the matter will be Ie-
ported at the next meeting of the board
with a suggestion that all lights that can
be dispensed with be turned off.
The committee will probably recon-
mend at during the night of full moon
and for two nights preceding and follow
ing full moon no hghts be lit. BY this
means further deficiency may be avoided.

STIERLEN'S LETTERS.
Ex-Judge Sanderson Testifies He Placed
Them in the County Clerks
ONCE.

Ex-Judge A. A. Sanderson appeared in
Judge Belcher's court yesterday in re-
Spouse to q citation served by Attorney
Monteith touching certain letters hitherto
offered in the case of Alfred Isson against
George Stierlen.
Isson sued Stierlen, his brother-in-law,
alleging that Stierlen had aIienated the
affections of Mrs Isson. To prove this
assertion he produced some letters that
were written by Stierlen to Mrs. Is
son. The letters fell into Isson's hands
by reason of the TACT that MS wife was
drowned at sea while on her way from San
francisco to their home in Mexico.
Attorney Eisner, representing Stierlen,
began to make technical objections to the
examination, but Judge Sanderson asked
that DO objection be placed in Mr.. Mon
teith's way. He said the letters were
placed in bis keeping by the attorneys In
the case; that they were called Tor by the
United States postal authorities, and sub
sequently were returned to him, alter
which he placed them among the papers
in the case in the County Clerks office.
He does not know what has become OF
them since, but believes Mr.. Montelth
could find them if he made careful
search.
Judge Belle er remarked that he had no
objection 10 the making of a statement by
Judge Sanderson, but it appeared that
Mr.. Monteith had not laid proper foun-
dation for the present inquiry, and the
motion to produce papers would be de.
med and the citation discharged.

WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.
Money Cheaper In NetU Fork Than Any
trItpre Else In the WcrId.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 15.-The
weekly statement of the Associated Banks,
to be issued tomorrow, will show large
increase in the cash on hand as the con-
sequence of an unusual state of affairs in
the money market. About month ago
the presidents and other leading officers
of some forty banks belonging to the
Clearing house attended dinner at the
Union League Club, given by Henry W.
Cannon, president of the Chase National
Bank.
At this gathering an understanding was
reached that no call loans, or, in other
words loans payable on demand, should
be m ade at a rate less than 2 per cent per
annum For three or four weeks previously
IL per cent At this rate the banks did
not consider that they were receiving an
adequate return for their money.
During the present week the borrowers
found that they could obtain money from
the trust companies, insurance companies
and other large lenders at per cent.
Accordin ly they shifted their loans to
a large extent; that is, they paid off the
loans to the banks and got accommo-
dated from the lenders, whose rates were
IA per cent lower The banks secured only
a small part of the new loans. The rapid
accumulation of money in their vaults
which was ecrning not ing at all finally
brought them to a realization that theft
agreement to keep the call loan rate up to
2 per cent could no longer be adhered to
with advantage, and many of them were
accepting offers OF / u per cent. Although
the tendency OF money is downward all
over the world, it is cheaper in New York
Than anywhere else.

GREAT JOY IN CHICAGO.
Mr.. PIotke's Anti Hat-in-tbe- Theater Or
diBdnce Becomes Law
Rinht ANaK.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 15.-The ordinance
passed by the City Council two weeks
ago against the wearing of head
gear in theaters and amusement houses
during the performance, and max
ing the management liable to a fine
of S25 for each offense, was vetoed by
Mayor Swift tonight, and a substitute
ordin ance less sweeping in its scope was
passed and signed by the Mayor.
There was some question as to the lie.
gality of Plotke's anti-hat ordinance, since
ii provided no penalty against the wearer,
and tonight Mayor Swift suggested a sub
stitute. The penalty is directed agains:
the woman who persists in wearing her
hat at theater, making her liable TO a
fine of So.
The management. by the new ordinance,
is exoneraled from any responsibility.
The ordinance will go into effect to-
morrow.
BY the terms of the ordinance the per-
sons guilty of the offense are not to be in
terrupted turing the entertainment.
at its completion an officer may be
called and the guilty one, if she desires,
may pay the fine then and there to tho
police and receive receipt for it. In this
way she can escape arrest.

He MAY SING
"ROS|E O'GRADY"
A Jury Decided This Yes
terday With Very
Little Delay.
Little Johnny Robertson's Sweet
Songs Are Not to Be
Suppressed.
One Striking Instance of How Juries
Will Decline to Enforce an
Unpopular Law.

Police Judge Campbell and jury OF
men, tried and true, spent all yesterday
afternoon trying to discover whether W.
H. Leahey of the Tivoli had committed
grievous crime by paying little 12-year-
old Johnny Robertson SIS week to sing
.'Rosie O'Grady" in q spectacular extraya-
ganza called Jack and the Beanstalk."
The Jury ignored the technicalities of
the law and set the Tivoli people free, on
the broad ground that the evidence
showed that the agents of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Children origi-
nally investigated the case and said there
was no violation of the law.
There is in this State a law which makes
it crime, per Sc, as the lawyers say, to
hire any person under 16 years of age to
sing on a stage. The law was originally
passed by the staid old citizens of the
New England States, who ancleltly
look ed upon theaters as allies of the evil
one. The following gentlemen as jurors
freed the defendant in less tina n two min
utes: Richard Rcsing, Dan Mahony,
Horace Wilson, Monroe Harris, Z. B.
Clausuns, ]. J. Crow,J. d. Long. II. Wall,
S. Jonas NJ. Collins, n. Wertz.
The law plainly says that any person,
whether parent, SudIQlhA VI Gil piOycI VI
any child under the age of 16 years, who
shall exhibit, use or employ said child
in the vocation of singing, playing or
walking II rope" shall, ETC., etc, be con-
sidered a criminal, and as such be subject
to punishment. But the jury would not
enforce the law, would not have the YER
dict the way of the code.
There was absolutely no contest about
the facts in the case. The boy swore he was
II years of age, that he sang night after
night at the Tlvoli, that he was hired and
paid so to do by the managers.
Manager Leahey swore 10 facts COM
pleteiy corroborative OF the boys story,
adding that Secretary Hol brook, Officer
McMurray and others of the society had
seen the performance and decided that 1T
was not Objectionable; that hey had al
lowed Gertie Carlisle and other children
to sing at the Baldwin and elsewhere
without moiestation, and had bounced
upon the Tivoi.
Attorney John T. Dare spoke with due
dignity for the State. Attorney Loewen-
thai Tor the theater, took the broad view
that the law was ridiculous, praised the
proprietors of the theater for the charities
and the case was won.
Manager Leahey swore that the child
was not overworked, and the boy said: alt
Is a pleasure TO sing, your Honor" 1t
was shown that the boy is getting a must
cal education at the Tivoli; that he goes
home at IL P. NJ nightly with his mother
and gets SIS week for his services.

THE HOPKINS MILLIONS.
Next of Kin Suing the Chief Heir for al
Accounting Under an Original
Agreement

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 15-Three
more suits, it was stated yesterday, are to
be brought against Edward F. Searies,
who inherited the Hopkins millions on
the death of his wife, Mrs. HOPKINS
.SearIes, and incidentally bit of legal
gossip was made public concerning the
enormous fees paid the lawyers who
handled the estate. Butler, Stillman &
Hubbard OF this city were afterward en-
gagged to manage the vast estate, and it is
now said that Tor this service they re-
ceived 81, 100000 down and substantial
percentage of future profits.
Eugene Hanscheck of the firm of Han
scheck & Norton of 90 Broad way, is au-
thority for this statement. His clients
are c. N. and 6. J.. Hebbard and Mrs.
Hopkins-Searles. They were among the
next of kin who contested the will. The
case was tried in Essex County, Mass,
1892, and Mr.. Searies agreed to settle
ment.
Timothy Hopkins, the adopted son OF
Mark Hopkins. and the chief claimant.
accepted $6,000,000 and the Hebbards
say they were promised $4,000 each by
General Hubbard as their share in the
settlement. Some of the money has been
paid them, but the greater portion has not
been forthcoming, they say, and they are
now suing for the original amount in the
Supre me Court. The cases have been
placed on preferred-cases calendar and
will soon be tried.
Mr.. Searles is living in Massachusetts
He has spent about $4,000, 900 of the $1S.-
0O0, 900 left him by his wife in flushing the
clamor of the several contestants of the
will. The estate has increased in equal
amount, and he is now amusing himself
by spending some of the millions in build
ing baroniai castle after his own designs
on an island off the coast of Maine.
