veying, $500; street light fund, $500, 900; in
tereSt account: City Hall construction bonds,
$59S5; park improvement bonds, $l5,S5O;
sinking fund, 1890 Total, S5,756,37l.
To meet this total expenditure of So, 1885,
37l i; Is estimated that revenue to the eX-
tent of 81, 400 700 Will be derived from
other sources than taxes, leaving a reve-
nue. OF S4.355, ,67I 10 be raised by taxes.
The Auditors estimate of the next tax
rate necessary to raise the above revenue.
based upon valuation of S345, ,000 coo, is
$1.2625 on the $780, distributed as follows: {:
General fund, etc, 7436; school, 1908
Street Department, .I0I9; street light, .OS70;
total for current expenses. 1143; library
fund, .0l65; park improvement lund, '0S5S.
interest and sinking fund, .Ol72.
In the communication which accompa-
MED the estimates sent to the Supervisors
Auditor Broderick explained and defended
them as follows:
To the honorable Board Of Superrisors Of The
City and county Of San Francisco herewith
subml: an estimate OF The expenditures and
revenue tor the fiscal year 1S97-9S, from
which ii Will be seen that the estimate reve-
nue compared with that OF the fiscal year now
closing is S229, ,Sl3 less, and the estimated ex-
penditures, which have been made on lib
eral basis for current needs of the various de-
paTtments (omitting in most cases contem-
plated extensons). have by the same compsri-
son increased S74,7l7.
have made the proper allowance for the
increases IN expenditure in the various de-
partments imposed by the Legislature of 1897,
and also the demand of the Fire Department
for the salaries OF paid Companies, believing
that such change as suggested by the Fire
Commissioners would be for the pu bile good.
one OF the most conSpi cuous shortages in
revenue comes from the adoption of the
charges OF the County Zee bill IN the Recorders
Office. Heretofore the fees charged in that
Office were OF the nature OF City fee and also
a County fee, viz: 20 cents per foHo, whereas
now there is charged only II County fee OF 10
cents per folio, causing a reduction of one
half in revenue. While this fact may be con-
sidered very correct and beneficial by those
who have business with that Office, ii is hardly
fair 10 the taxpayers generally that the pay
ment to clerks for recording be maintained at
the rate prescribed when the City and County
20-cent ice was charged, viz: II cents per
folio. The continuance of these rates causes
the loss OF City ices, OF tone-hAl If the former
fees. and an expense additional equal to one
fifth of the fees received. 1t is said hat lib
eral percentage OF the expense charged to the
City is paid for printed matter mot physical
copying.
In making the estimates for the Board of
Health and departments under its supervision
l have allowed for quarantine expenses. 1t is
currently supposed that the Federal Govern
ment has assumed control of Quaral tine af-
fairs. If so perhaps the estimate msy be
eliminated. In the estimate OF expenditure

about it. She said he had not as much
money, but she would give me her purse
Ihere were some papers in the purse,
and l wanted to get hold of them, as they
might give me Clew, but she refused to
part with them. l saw a policeman
across the street and said l would bring
him over unless she gave me the papers,
and she finally handed me the purse and
papers.
II told her I would return the nurse
and papers after l mad examined them
and seen if any more money was counter
felt Then she asked me to go with her
to friend S house on Fillmore street in
the $500 block, and we walked on until
VIC came to the corner of Clay street. Shs
went into Fuller's drugstore to ask for
the mum ber of her friends house, and
after she came out l left her, promising
to see her at the st. Nicholas on Sunday.
"When / went home and told my wife
she would not hear of me going to see the
woman on Sunday, so l did not go, and
this morning was arrested. That is the
truth.
Policeman Peters got a search warrant
and recovered the purse at Jackson's
house and the pair of gloves, but he could
find nc trace Of the missing jewelry.
The st. Nicholas Hotel people declared
positively that Mrs. Farnum does not nor
never did live there. She told Jackson
that she occupied rooms 10 and 16, and
4.
Peters did not find her there yesterday
afternoon, nor did he find her at the
Baldwin Hotel, where she had agreed to
meet him at o'clock.
The papers in the purse were chiefly
cards Of saloons and addresses written on
pieces OF paper, but there was a letter
written by Mrs. Farnum's son, boy Il
years of age, from Oakland, addressed to
302 Valencia street.
a visit to 3O2 Valencia street revealed
the fact that Mrs. Farnum took up her resi-
dence there on June 1. One week ago Sat-
urday she left the place, promising to send
for her trunks, but she has not yet done
so. While there she informed the land
lady that she was an actress, but, the peo-
pie in the house say, she certainly N ust
have been out of an engagement at that
time, for she was at home nearly every
night.
Charles F. Fuller, druggist, Clay and
Fillmore, corroborates Jackson in his
statement that Mrs. Farnum went into
the drugstore Saturday night and asked
for the number of a house on Fillmore
street. There were two other people in
the store at the time. The woman, Fuller
says, was rocky" in her appearance, and
he did not see any jewelry on her person.
Mrs. Farnum called at the Central po-
lice station last night and told Lieutenant
Birdsall that she would be at the St.
Nicholas Hotel all night sitting up with a
sick friend. She was seen at the hotel but
refused to give any more Information as
to the case or her business or profession.

vious TO the date OF making the tax levy.

Did Not Save Ira Terrell From His
Own Law

The supreme court Saturday handed
down an opinion denying the writ in
the habeas corpus case filed by Ira
Terrell the Okla hOma murderer, to Sc
cure his release from the penitentiary.
Terrell will remain in the penitentiary
where he is serving term of II years.
Four years ago he killed George En-
bree at Guthrie over a dispute arising
out of the ownership of the land claim
The killing occurred in front of the
Guthrie land office. Terrell was arrest
ed and convicted on the charge of muir
der in the first degree and was sentenc-
ed to be hanged. He was tried under a
law which he had secured the passage
of while a member of the Oklahoma
legislature two years before, providing
for capital punishment. He asked for a
new trial and got it. The next time he
was convicted of murder in the second
degree and sentenced to Y years IN
prison. Before he was taken to the
was at large for two years Finally he
was located Near Fort Scott and ia
ken to prison to begin the service of his
term. Three months ago Terrell through
his attorney Judge Buckner of Guthrie
filed an applica ton for his release from
prison on a writ of habeas corpus. He
claimed that the murder for which he
was sentenced was committed on the
federal reservation and that he should
have been tried in the federal court IN
stead of the territorial court
The court today in refusing to grant
the writ releasing Terrell said that the
question of the place of the commission
of the crime was matter for the con-
sideration of the court trying him, and
it was not clearly shown that the Of
tense was committed on reservation.
