ON SOUTHERN HEIGHTS.
Improvements on "Scotch Hill"
Are Deemed an Urgent
Necessity.
The Residents Now Make Their Wants
Known Through the Medium
of the Club.

"Scotch HILL" or in be vocabulary of
the district Southern Heights" through
its Improvement Club, has come to the
front with a long list of necessities, which
are termed improvements" when placed
on file in the archives of the clerks Office
of the Board of Supervisors.
This list when segregated into items
would embody the following list of i'm
provements which the residents on that
southern summit deem necessary for their
comforr:
A chemical engine stationed on the
brow of the heights. AS it is now there is
no fre-engine within a mile of Southe IN
Heights, and it was decided by the club to
petition the Fire Commissioners for q
chemical engine, to be stationed in the
vicinity of Twentieth and Connecticut
streets. To accom- pish this ooject J. W.
Felt, a. Raymond, f. d. Scott and James
Glackin were ap pointed committee on
this matter.
following this comes the demand for a
school building. 1t is claimed that there
are $50 children OF school age deprived of
an education because thsre is no accom-
modation for them in any of the schoo 5
on the Potrero division. And even those
children who are provided with school
accommodation have 10 go a distance of
two miles to the Irving Scott School, on
the eastern bluff of the Potrero Heights,
close to the waters Q edge.
Street improvements have OF late been
obtained, and as consequence the Super
visors have acted on the petition of the
Improvement Club and recommended
grading and sewering on Minnesota street,
netween Nineteenth and Twentieth. and

Twenty third.
The grazing of Iowa street, from Twenty
second to Twenty-third. will be COM

LAST OF THE KLoNDIKE FLEET.
The Gasoline Schooner Bessie X Will
Get Away This Morning.

Get Away This Morning
The gasoline schooner Bessie X did not
get away Nor the Klondike last night.
Owing to the crowd around the vessel the
deckload could not be properly lashed, 80
she WAS taken to Sausalito, where tie
work will he completed and an early start
made this morning.
The yacht Ell Sueno, once the pride OF
the Encinal Yacht Club, occupies part
of the deck of the Bessie K. She has been
transformed into a steam launch, and
would not be recognized as the fleet and
pretty boat that SKINNED the waters OF
the bay.
Captain Stannard expects to reach ST.
Michael in about sixteen days. On arrival
there the expedition Will be transferred to
the Ell Sueno, and she will endeavor to
proceed up the Yukon to Dawson City.
She will low metallic life boat, which
will contain years supplies. In the
event Of the yacht being unable to pro-
ceed up the river the balance OF the jour
ney will be made in the lifeboat.
William Coffe of San Francisco, an en-
gineer and p1iner, will be captain OF the
Ell Sueno, assisted by William Bray OF
Alameda, an experienced sailor. The
rest OF the crew consists of Charles Kane,
a miner; +. Bonner. an engineer; M.
Humphrey, a student; S. Young, an en-
gineer and miner; Bailey Terrill stu
dent, and F. Do little, a Carpenter and
house builder. There will be about twenty
people on the Bessie X, but these eight
men constitute the Ell Sueno party.
The promoters of the company, who are
residents of Alameda. together with Com
m odore Leonard OF the Encinal Yacht
Club, have spent 5000 in fitting up the
expedition and purchasing supplies.
There are sufficient supplies to last two
wears ard the expedition is one of the

FOOTBALL MEN
LEASE A LOT
Berkeley and Stanford Sc
cure New Athletic
Grounds.
On Eighth Street, Near Harri-
son, and Suitable for
Baseball.
To Be Fitted With $500 Seats and to
Be Ready for the Seasons
Games.

The athletic managers of the University
of California and of Stanford University
yesterday leased for two years the large
vacant lot on Eighth street between Fol-
som and Harrison. 1t will be imm edi-
ately converted into athletic grounds,
where all the college football and baseball
games will be PLAYED.
There this years great Thankse living
match will be decided, and there all the
earlier contests of the coming football
season will be held.
Grand stands and boxes are to be built
for the accom- alton of $500 spectators,
5000 OF whom will have covered seats as a
protection from possible rain on the day
OF the great contest of the season. The
Intention is to make the place in everv
way model recreation ground.
The lease was taken out by the two uni.
versity football managers and I. P. Rob-
inson, acting for stock company not vet
mentioned, but largely controlled by Mr..
Robinson.
The preparation of these or some other
grounus was made necessary by the exclu-
slve engagement OF the old Central Park

that the universities could have little
hope of securing the grounds for the early
football games or for the Thanksgiving
match.
The lease was finally made yesterday
forenoon after several weeks of parleying
on the part of the college men. The con-
tract calls for seats for $500 persons and
covers the use of the grounds by the uni
versites for two seasons.
The first football game of the college
season will be played on the new grounds
on October 5. The proprietors have re-
served the right to rent the grounds on
such days as they are not to be used by
the universities. Probably many or all of
the minor teams will also play their
games on the new grounds. as the ar
rangenent and prices at Central Park are
practically prohibitive.
Although no arrangements have vet
been made for the accommod alton in this
City OF the two big Eastern base ball
teams that are coming out fer winter
series of games, it is likely that thew. too
will play on the new field.

c. 9. Hilton, the Complaining Witness
in Case, After Two Years Vigi-
lance Captures the Defendant.
David Ring, who says he is an Insurance
agent, was arrested yesterday afternoon
and booked at the City prison on charge
OF obtaining money by false pretenses.
In October 1896, Ring called upon G. c.
Hilton, an .mploye in the mail service. at
his rooms, 32S Ellis street, and said he had
been sent by Mr.. Merrill friend of H il
ton, to get him to insure in Chicago
accident company of which he was agent.
Hilton had been In a train wreck short
time previous and agreed to take out
$1,000 policy. He paid Ring SIC premium
and received receipt. Ring promising to
let him have the policy in ten days.
When Hilton saw his friend Merrill the
latter told him he did not know Ring.
Hilton after waiting some weeks wrote to
the company in Chicago. and received
reply that Ring was not connected with
the pany and TO have him arrested.
Hilton swore out warrant for Rings
arrest, but it was not till yesterday that
he saw him again. He met him on Bush

EXCEEDED ITS POWER.
The Supreme Court Passes Adversely
Upon a Superior Court Order.

The Supreme Court Passes Adversely
Upon a Superior Court Order.
The Supreme Court, in long opinion
rendered yesterday, decided that depart-
ment 8 of the Superior Court of this City
exceeded it's power in making an order in
the matter of the estate of Harry Gardiner
de Greayer. Septimus de Greayer. under
the will of Harry's father. was appointed
general guardian OF the person and estate
OF :he son, who is a minor. 1t will be
remem bered that De Greayer was killed
seven or eight years ago by park police
man named Harper in Golden Gate Park
while, according to Harper's statement,
he was attempting to shoot the officer.
The estate.s in the process of admins
tration, and under the will the ward is to
receive large sum OF money, which was
deposited by the guardian with the Cali
fornia Safe Deposit and Trust Company.
Upon the distribution OF the fund the
guardian was required 10 give q bond in
double the amount of the fund, and an
order was made that the money be trans
ferred on the books of the trust company
to the petitioners account as guardian.
But in addition to this the Superior Court
Judge, upon his own motion, made a
further order that said moneys 'be held

perior) court and be'paid out only as
authorized by this court"
1t was contended by the petitioner that
the last order constituted an infrin ge m ent
upon his rights as guardian, which was
beyond the power OF the court, and that
the order was void. The Supreme Court
takes he same view OF the matter and
Justice Van Fleet says:
1t is obvious at glance that the effect of
q nr6 py,6 ,f-et tuoc int IaI
to deny TO and deprive petitioner, as guardian,
OF the possession and control OF such fund.
and to that extent OF the possession and con-
trol of the estate of his ward. The or
DER in question has the effect to deprive the
guardian OF this right and to practically place
the custody and control of the fund in the
hands of the court, exclusive of the guardian.
Such an order is without doubt i'll excess of
the power OF the court and vod.

SUPERVISORS
MUST ANSWER
Judge Wallace Overruled
Their Demurrer Yes
terday Afternoon.
Holds That He Has Jurisdiction
to Try the Defend
ants.
Attorneys G. W. schell, W, 7. Baggett
and Garret McBnerney Were
Heard in the Argument.

Judge Wallace of the Superior Court
listened to argument yesterday in the
case of George K. Fitch against the Board
of Supervisors. The action was instituted
10 remove the defendants from office, on
tie ground that they were guilty OF mail
feasance because they failed to fix the
water rates tor the City and County of
San Francisco during the month of Feb
ruary, as required by the constitution of
the State and statues passed subsequently
in pursuance thereof
A demurrer was filed TO the complaint
by Garret w. McEnerney on behalf of the
Supervisors, claiming that the com plant
did not state facts sufficient to constitute
cause of action, and that, further, the
court had no Jurisdiction over the subject
matter of the action.
The action was brought under section /,
article xiv, of the constitution OF the
State and under section 8 OF the act OF
March 7, 1881, providing for the fixing of
water rates by Boards of Supervisors
within The month of February, aud de-
claring neglect or failure to do SO to be
alfeasaace in office. Now, the present
Board OF Supervisors did not fix tho water
rates in February last, nor until some
months later, and the present case is
test case brought by the veteran editor
In presenting his argument supporting
his demurrer, Mr.. McEnerney stated four
reasons Tor asking for dismissal of the
complaint; first, that the action should
have been broughtin the name of the peo-
pie of the State of California; second,
that malfeasance in office being designated
as an infamous crime, it must be prose
uted by indictment or inform alton; third,
that The water rates having been regu-
| larly fixed before July l, the beginning of
another fiscal year, no one was hurt by
he delay; and, therefore. the com mpIain-
ant WIS not an interested party; fourth,
that the con tuition provided tor the fix
ing OF The water rates during the month
OF February. where necessary" while
the statute under which this action was
brought made it com mpulsory fol the board
to fix the rates during the month of Feb
| ruary, without saying anything about
where necessary" and that on this ac-
count the statute was unconstitutional.
Attorney William T. Baggett and
George w. Schell represented Mr.. Fitch.
and argued that the law declaring that
the rates should be fixed in February is
mandatory. and was passed for good and
sufficient reason. Failure to fix the rates
within the time specified is set down as a
malfeasance and punished by the re-
moval OF the offenders from office upon
the suit of citizen.
Mr.. Fitch is an interested party, claimed
the attorneys, for he had TO purchase
water and he had to purchase it at the
price fixed by the Supervisors.
"a mere neglect is cause enough, :"
argued Mr.. SchelI. 1T Is not for the
court 10 say what is malfeasance.
At the conclusion Of the argument
Judge Wallace decided that he had iuris-
diction to try the case, and ordered the
