FORGERY and PERJURY.
Two Indictments Presented to
the Court by the Grand
Jury.
Members of the Body Will Inspect
Schoolhouses and Note Ventila-
tion and Exits.

The Grand Jury, Captain Hobbs fore
man, went into Judge SeaweIPs court yes
terday afternoon and presented two
indictments. The first one was lodged
asaiust Michael O'Brien, charging that
he committed perjury in concealing prom
erty to avoid the pay ment OF aIimony.
The second Indictment was against
Arthur Arlington, and the charge is for
gerry. The Arlington case was before
Judge Lows Police Court sometime since
and there dismissed.
The CALL recently published an ex-
tended account of Arlington's exploits in
passing bogus checks and Obtaining free
carriage rides on bogus orders. He was
arr s;ed in San Jose by Detective Joseph
Crockett.
Witnesses were examined by the Grand
Jury and testified TO various transactions
wherein Arlington had obtained credit
and money on fictitious orders. In one
case he signed the name of S. f. Fran k 65
Co. He is in the lookup now, hence the
Indictment was not placed on the secret
file.
Several mem bers of the Grand jury will
visit schools to-day to in. peel build ngs,
take notes of ventilation and observe the
facilities for exit in time OF fire or panic.
John Hoesch, the expert of the Grand
Jury, has concluded his inves tigation OF
School Department affairs.
The main trouble in the School Depart
ment seems TO be the rash APPROPRIATION
OF money for salaries of teachers, ianitors.
deputies and clerks, and very small al
lowance for new building. This state of
affahs will exist until the State law is
amended providing that a fixed per cent
of the money derived from taxes shall be
set apart for building purposes and used
for nothing else. Had the example OF
some of the Western States in this respect
been adopted by California twenty years
ago San Francisco would have fifly dur
able, ornamental and commouious school
editices- The money which should have
been used for permanent improvements
has been paid out for salaries.

Captain Olif Anfindsen and Sailor Chris

rived on the steamer WhitesDoro from
Point Arena yesterday. Neither of them
had anything to add to the story of the

amount was not stated.
So far the Oregon Railway and NaviCa-

the merchants looking toward the cor

Connors, the local freight agent of the
company, IS quo ed as having asked why
the peopie of The new line q = not buy out
the estabIi> he'd line. Mr.. Rulofson does
not take this sug estion iu earnest, for be
does not believe that the local freight
ag-nt is in a position TO negotiate for he
sale of the old line.
1t is said that parties in the East who
are deeply interested in the old line are
on their way to this coast with the view
of looking over the condition of the COM
pauy and probably correcting the tariff
Should this come to pass the freight and
other charges OF which the local mer-

The fight between the Pacific Gas and
Improvement Company and the Fair es-
tate seems to have brought out one thing
that interests the public to a marked ex-
tent. Mayor Phelan seems only too will
ing to take sides with the Gas Company
against the Fair estate.
1t is well-known fact that the con-
tested swamp land was some time ago
purchased by the late James G. Fair and
has been tied up in litigation .or the past
wear or two. Now that decision has
finally been reached on the uDiect, the
Fair people have commenced the work OF
filling in The tract, intending 10 claim
only such lands as Ieally belong to them
and leaving fair margin for streets.
The gas company, however, object
strenuously TO this mode of procedure, as
instead OF being along the water front
they viii be left high and dry several
blocks from the bay. OF course, they do
not like this move, and have. in some in
exphcable manner, enlisted the services
of Mayor elan, who has distin guished
himself in his endeavors to prevent the
iishtful owners OF this tract from filling
It in as they see fit. regardless of the fact
that be Is taking away from the city

CHALMERS KNOCKED OFT.
The State Quarantine Department Has
Gracefully Yielded to the Fed
eral Authority.

Collector Jackson announced yesterday
that State Quarantine Officer Chalmers
had given up the fight against the Fed
eral Quarantine Department, and that he
had ceased TO visit ships for the purpose
of inspecting passengers. The United
States Government has expended $500. 600
in quarantine work in the bay of San
Francisco, and is expending $50 600 a wear
TO ma ntain il. Hence State quarantine
,ervice at the expense of h taxpayers OF

The real estate market still remains in
that quiet, dreamy state which has marked
its existence ior a long time. Sales oi
city property are few ana far between, but
some activity seems TO prevail along trans
portation lines IN the country.
Notwithstanding this, dealers are gen.
orally cheerful and expeclant of better
conditions soon. Plenty of money is to
be mad on good security and large sums
lie IN the safe deposlts awaiting good OPP
portunities for investment When the
market does get out OF its Sleepy Hollow
there is likely to be some hing in the ma
lure OF boom
A rumor that the east corner of Market
and Seventh has been bought by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Comuany from
Edward Hull's heirs is firmly denied.
One of the trustees denies that even an
offer has been made. Several large sales
are still delayed by the cum bersome pro-
cedure of business technicality, but one
or two dealers expect soon 10 consum-
mate sales of some magnitude.
