The Newly Elected School
Director Succumbs to
Typhoid.
Peaceful Termination of a Long,
Versatile and Useful
Career.
He Was a Business Man, a Lawyer
and an Ardent Supporter of
Popular Education.

James Lafayette Halsted. School Di-
rector and one of San Francisco's
most prominent and highly respected
citizens, is dead.
For little less than three weeks Mr.
Halsted had been confined to his bed, at
first with slight indisposition, which his
family believed would be tenn porary, but
toward the end of last week his symptoms
began to grow alarming. Nevertheless
when the day came for the School Board
to be sworn in Mr.. Halsted expressed a
desire to assume his obligations, and an
accom- odating Justice of the Peace ad-
ministered the oath at his bedside. Since
last Friday there was apparent evidence
OF improvement until yesterday forenoon,
when he weakened suddenly, and at l 80
P. NJ. he expired. His ailment was typhoid
fever.
MIR. Halsted's career in California has
been versatile and he has filed many
positions with marked ability.
He was born in Oneida County, New
York, in 1881, and he would have been 66
years of age on the 18th inst. He received
fair education, and for short time en-
gagged in schoolteaching in his native
town, though he was a mere boy when he
left there for California. This event oc-

WATCHING FOR BUTLER,
Plans of the Police Department
to Receive the swan
hilda.
A System of Signals to Tell of H r
Approach Should She Arrive
at Night.

Chief Crowley is determined to leave
no stone unturned in order to catch Frank
Butler, the notorious Australian muir
derer. Yesterday afternoon the United
States revenue cutter Corwin sailed for a
cruise along the coast, and as she will be
on her way back to San Francisco about
the time the Swanhilda is expected here,
an officer with the necessary duplicate
warrants went out on the cutter. Should
the Swanhilda be spoken at sea, the off.
Ger will be put aboard and Butler will be
put in irons when the ship reaches port.
All Chief Crowley's plans are we'll laid.
The officer on the Corwin was placed
there on the off chance, but according to
his arrangements with the towboat COM
panies yesterday there is no possible
chance of the Swanhilda getting to an
anchorage without his knowing it. The
Chief and Sergeant Bonner went to the
Shipowners' and Merchants Tow boat
Company and the Spreckels Towb boat
Company, and certain signals were agreed
upon.
If any of the company's tugs sight the
Swanhida in the dark certain number
of whistles will be blown and tee lookout
man at Point Lobos will at once notify the
Exchange, and the latter will inform Chief
Crowley.
From the Chiefs Office the news will be
sent to Meiggs wharf, where the revenue
cutter Hartley will be in readiness night
and day. The police-boat will be lowered
and taken in tow by The Hartley. In the
Whitehall boat will be Sergeant Bonner
and Officer Ferguson, and at moment S
notice their boat can be placed alongside
an incoming ship, and it would not take
long for such good boatmen as the two
officers to reach the deck.
When the Swanhilda is sighted the
proposition is to run the Hartley out as
far as Point Bonita, if the weather be fair.
II e sea is on she will not go any further
than the fort and if it is blowing heavily
she will not venture further than Lime
Point.
"All the necessary precautions have
been taken," said Chief Crowley yester-
day. at appears to me, however, that If
Butler is on board the Swanhilda when
that vessel is off the Farallones, he will
have no chance to leave her until she
anchors in the bay. OF course, there is
always the attempt at suicide to be
guarded against, and that contingency is
really why we are taking all these pre-
cautionsn

James Lafayette Halsted, Re-
Gently Elected School Director,
Who Died Yesterday.

uncle to make the trip around the Horn,
but ell route his uncle died, and James,
then only Is years of age, was landed
alone in San Francisco, dependent on his
own resources.
He remained in this City only few
months and then struck out for the mines
of Calaveras and Amador counties. He
eventually located near The town of Vol
cano, i'll Amador County, and here he was
Immediately made School Director. In
his official capacity he employed M. NJ.
Estee as teacher.
While in Volcano Mr.. HaIsted met Miss

plains with her parents from their Eastern
home. In Novem Der. 1853, they were mar
rie6 and the widow survives him.
A year after his marriage Mr.. Haisted
left the mines where he had been suffi-
GENTLY successful to give him small
working capital and went to Santa Cruz.
There for twenty-five years he was en-
gagged in the lun Der business with the
jacksonville Mill and Lumber Company,
During all this time he maintained a
lively interest in school matters and was
almost continually director. For the
four years prior to 1882 he was president
OF the Santa Cruz Board of Education.
The year previous to his assuming this
Office he represented the district in which
Santa Cruz is located in the Asse mbly.
About the year 1874 Mr.. HaIsted, feel
ing that he had acquired sufficient wealth
for his needs. and yet beingof too active a
temperament to retire, decided to study
law as an avocation. After brief course
of study he was duiy admitted TO the bar
and entered into practice with Congress
man Barham. In 1882 he came to San
Francisco. and the law firm of Barha m,
Bolton & Halsted was formed. This
firm dissolved after two or three years
practice, and in 1885 be engaged with his
four sons in the undertaking business. He
was actively engaged in this business up
to the commencement of his last illness.
Mr.. Halsted was twice elected O
member of he San francisco Board OF
Education He was first honored by the
Republican party in 1885. and served one
term. He was again elected last fall, and
the handsome majority which he received
attests his popularity.
Since 1860 the decedent had been an
earnest worker in Masonic affairs. He
was past master OF Occidental Lodge No.
%. California Chapter No. 5, r. A. M, and
was a member of Golden Gate Com
mandery, knights Templar. He was also
