BUSTED SUPERVISORS.
They Steal March on the Mem
bers of the New Board.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1S.--Al-
though a stalwart policeman was sta
toned at the entrance of the chamber
of the Board Of Supervisors this morn
ing, with instructions to allow no one
to pass its portals except those who had
business within, eight members Of the
ousted board assembled and proceeded
to transact business as though nothing
had happened and they were still in
office.
They were jubilant at the discovery
made by their attorneys that the law
provided that an appeal from a judg-
ment in a proceeding under a special
statute operated as a stay, and con-
graduated themselves that conse-
quently they constituted the de facto
board until the Supreme Court decided
their case. Finding the board room
already occupied when they appeared
the members of the new board assem-
bled in the committee-room adjoining
it, and both boards thereupon held ses-
sfons simultaneously.
After the tax levy has been disposed
of it is generally believed that the pol
icy now being pursued of ignoring the
presence Of the eight members of the
old board will be changed for a more
vigorous one.
The new Board of Supervisors, sit
ting as a Committee of the Whole, COM
pleted it's tax levy this evening, and
turned it over to a special committee
to be revised, SO as to bring it within
the Democratic pledge of 81 on each

600
The roll when completed aggregated
So, $40 100. From this sum the Super
visors deducted $1400,700, which will
be received from sources other than
taxation, and $3.50, 500, which they de-
clare should be considered outside Of
their pledge, having been caused large
ly by Legislative Acts passed since the
meeting Of the Democratic Municipal
Convention. This left a balance Of
So, 039 800, being an excess of S439, 800
over their pledge. The committee was
instructed to make sufficient reductions
in the various appropriations to bring
the aggregate within the pledge.

BASEBALL AT THE BAY.
The Fresnos Defeat the Bakers
fields Seven to One.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1S.-The
ball game at Central Park between
teams from Fresno and Bakersfield oc-
cupied two hours and resulted in the re-
tirement of Bakersfield from the tour
nament finals. 1t was a pitchers bat
tie. the feature of the game being the
pitching of Thompson of Fresno, who
struck out fifteen men, breaking the
pitchers record for the season, and al
lowing the Bakersfield batsmen to get
only five scratch hits off his delivery.
Knell pitched a consistent game for the
Bakersfield team. but was poorly sup
ported He allowed the hard hitting
Republicans but nine hits, many OF
which would have been stopped by bet
ter fielding. Chance played his usually
strong game. both in the field and at
bat
The many strike-outs made by
Thompson was due to excellent support
given him. At times Thompson became
somewhat ratified over the volume of
noise made by the Bakersfield rooters,
but he was steadied by the coaching of
Chance. The game was rather slow.
Fresno was clearly in the lead from
the start. scoring two runs in the first
inning, while Bakersfield scored a soil
tary run in the fourth. to which no ad-
dftion was made in the remaining in
nings. Score: Fresno Z, Bakersfield L.
The Fresno Republicans will meet the
Bushnell Alerts tomorrow, when
faster game is expected.

MYsTERIoUsLY DISAPPEARED.
The Manager and Co-Partner of
the Berkeley Advocate"

OAKLAND, Sept. 1S.-E. Rawlins,
business manager and cO-partner of
the Berkeley Advocate" is missing,
and his friends fear that he has either
been murdered, committed suicide or
wandered East while temporarily in
sane. He had $3.50 in cash and about
an equal value of jewelry on him when
he disappeared on Admission Day. He
was last seen in San Francisco walk
ing toward the piers, but it is known
he did rot board any of the river boats.
Duigeut search by the police in all the
cities about the bay have failed to
unearth any trace of the missing man.
RawIins had no financial difficulties,
and lived happily with his wife and
two children in the Berkeley home.
The day before his mysterious disap
pearance he complained Of pains in
his head, and this, together with the
fact that his father is a banker in Bos
ton, has led to the belief that while
temporarily deranged he may have
taken a train East. His wife, how
ever, fears either foul play or sui
eide.
The, town of Berkeley is greatly ex-
cited over the case.
