Fourth, Frederick gained one; Fifth,
Broderlck gained one; Sixth, no change;
Seventh, no change; Eighth, no change.
In the E ghth Precinct of the Forty
fifth Assembly District peculiar state of
affairs was disclosed. A ballot came out
marked from top to bottom with purple
blotches where the aniline sIampings
ought 10 have appeared. In the matter of
Auditor blotch appeared opposite Brod-
ericks name, and Mr.. SchooIer objected
on the ground that no stamp had been
used by the voter, as required by law.
Judge Trout said the intention of the
voter was clear, and it was his duty TO re-
spect that intention.
Mr.. McEnerney added that the reverse
end OF the stamp was probably used or
the official stamp might have been mis-
laid. so the vote was counted for Brod-
erick.
few minutes later similar ballot ap-
peared marked in the same way for Deane,
and the court decided to follow the ap-
parent intention of the voter, even though
he did not use q good stamp.
Attorney Schroeder said the friends of
Mr.. Deane were not in any way moved by
the result of the days recount. 1t was
not expected that there would be material
changes in the precincts from which early
reports were received. If any bad errors
had been made 1t was expected that they
would come from the precincts where the
reports were delayed.
The count will be taken up again uext
Monday morning, and Judge Trout an
nounced that he intends to devote ten
hours day to the work. He has post
poned all other business until that is con-
Guided. The lawyers in the case declared
that they would b. pleased to have the
matter expedited.

BIG NEW THEATER
AND ROOF-GARDEN
Planning a Playhouse to
Seat Over Three Thou
sand.
Nearly Consummated Several
Months Ago and Yet in
Prospect.
Five.Story Building Costing $4,000
Located Near Market and
Powell Streets.

Plans are ahoat for the erection some
where in the neigh borhood of the junction
of Powell and Market streets of verv
large theater, the seating capacity of
which will warrant the appearance here
of such big troupes as the Metropolitan
Opera Company and others needing stage
accommodations for as many as 200 per-
formers at one time.
The idea also includes an extensive roof
garden after the style of Hammerstein' 8
Olympia in New York. The garden would
be covered with glass roof, from which
the panes of glass could in sections be slid
aside to permit of almost no covering on
favorable nights. In foggy weather pro-
lection could be assured by closing the
overhead openings.
For over a year now the scheme has
been thoughJfully discussed by its pro-
moters. The con summation of the plan
was prevented some months ago by the
sudden death of M. J. Heating, an old
mining man of Virginia City, who had
just agreed to erect building for the pur-
pose on property belonging to him on
Ellis street. above Powell. Plans for the
building had been adopted. But the pas
sage of the estate into the possession OF
the heirs interfered with the project and
for some time it has been awaiting ia
vCrable opportunity Tor revival.
When John B. Schoeffel of Abbey,
Schoeffel & Grau was out here in October
he was very favorable to the conte N plated
enterprise. 1t was then practically settled
that the great opera company should come
here, and a contract was drawn for that
purpose in anticipation of the establish
ment of mammoth new theater. Abbey
died, and the immediate consum NATION of
the enterprise was prevented.
"But it will come; it is bound to come, J"
said Jake Gottlob, one OF the managers of
the Colum bia, yesterday.
San Francisco needs something OF the
kind. 1t needs theater that can seat at
least $500 people. In order to stage the
biggest operas and attractions Ike Irving
and Terry there must be room for a big
house to make it pay.
1.-The building that Mr.. Friedlander and
myself had in contemplation was one
that would cost in the neighborhood of
$l5O, 600 1t would be four or five stories
in height and have roof garden. OF
course the building proper would be cut
up into offices and the ground floor front
would be used for stores.
"Whlle absolutely nothing is being
done by US at present toward consum-
mating our long cherished plan we are
keeping lookout. Some steps may be
taken soon after Mr.. Friedlander's return
from Portland next Thursday

SOLD TO SPECULATORS.
The Town of Elko, New, Parts Com
pany With the Rail-


W. H. Mills, land agent of the Central
Pacific Railway, closed one of the most
unusual of bargains Monday last. Many
transactions of varied character have
passed through his hands, but this one,
he freely admits, is an oddity in the sale
of land. 1t is the sale of q townsite, or,
rather, the rest of town that was once
divided into numerous lots, but never was
sold.
1--WE sold 700 lots in the town OF EIko,
New" he said. mot square foot OF
ground in that town was sold for fourteen
years before. Elko had the making of a
town in it years ago. 1t had the Nevada
Normal School and some business houses,
but as town it never amounted 20 any
thing. It's population now is only few
hundred people, and so you may see that
the sale of the town is a matter of consid-
cradle interest in Nevada. The fact of the
purchase is proof that soma industrial re-
vival is imminent in the vicinity of Elko.
III. J. Mavham OF Denver was here Mon
day, and it was he who bought the town
site of Eko. He repres ented a company
which he said had the backing OF Eastern
capitalists. This company has developed
mining properties on large scale al a
point about seventy miles north of Elko.
The mines are said 10 be rich and 10 have
abundance of water for motive power and
washing. They are situated on the south
erly line of Idaho, but in the State of
Nevada. The company is going TO irri-
gate considerably and that is what We
are interested in, though as matter of
course mining would bring the road busi-
ness worthy Of consideration"
The mining company has issued an
elaborate prospectus with illustrations
showing VIII ere mines can be established,
ETC., also pictures of dams and water
works and a new town

HAD AMPLE FUNDS.
The Larkin- Street Celebration Was
Decided Success.

The Larkin- Street Celebration Was a
Decided Success.
The Larkin-s street Improvement Club
at it's meeting last night received and
audited the celebration committee ac-
count as rendered by DR.. E. e. HILL the
chairman of that committee, and found
that STA had been subscribed by the mer-
chants and business men on the street
over which the arc lights have been sus-
pended.
The sum of SIG had been used on the
night of the grand opening, all of which
was satisfactorily expended in the interest
of bringing Larkin street into prominence
as central business locality.
Treasurer w. T. kibbler reported that
the requisite funds were forthcoming on
demand to meet the lighting fund for the
next six months. The committee on
streetcar transfers with the Sutter-street
and the lines running east and west across
Larkin street reported that it had not yet
succeeded in bringing about the desired
object, but had reason to believe that
satisfactory arrangements would event.
ually be made. The question of having
Larkin street repayed was discussed, but
no decision was reached. The committee
on street Improvement was granted further
time in which TO agitate this question with
the property Owners anG the Supervisors.

A Big Cut Made Necessary
in the Street De-
partment.
Laborers Must Give Way to
Cover Recently Awarded
Contracts.
A Legacy Left by the Retiring Board
of Super viSors to the Street
Superintendent.

At the very outset of his administration
superintendent of Streets Ami rose will
be compelled to cut down his force OF
Iaborers on the public streets in order to
prevent overdrafts on the funds of the
Street Department.
1t has not yet been decided how many
men will be laid off because it is not
known just how the financial problem
stands, but the reduction will be at least
one-quarter of the regular force to start
with, and perhaps more as the matter is
better understood. This means that from
twenty-five to fifty men will be ont of en-
ployment until the Auditor is satisfied
that the appropriation is in proper con-
dition.
The reason of the shortage is that the
late Board of Supervisors made contracts
in excess of the appropria ton and that ex-
penditures must be held down 80 as to
keep within the law. When the old board
had finished sending down warrants for
the payments of completed work there
was only $500 lett in the fund. This on
the face Of. il made the appearance that
the street funds were in good condition,
but the contracts that had already been
awarded placed different complexion on
1t was found that on December 81 Z. G.
Keen was awarded contract for paving
Folsom street at $12 900. and that one Nc
Laren had been allowed $500 for plans for
the laying out OF A.amo square.
In addition to this contract for grad
ing on Bernal Heights was let, the total
amount being not less than $13, 500, and
probably much more than that.
As but $500 was left for the new board to
Handle, ii was evident that cut must be
made somewhere, and the $500, 900 OF the
street funds appropriated for the keeping
i'll repair of accepted streets was selected
for the sacrifice.
The monthly payroll of the Street De-
pariment for Iaborers on the streets
amounts to about the sum OF the excess
contracts, so that at least one month must
be saved to make up the deficiency. SUI
Der1ntendent OF Streets Am brose admitted
yesterday that such was the case.
In addition to the shortage that will
occur in the funds mentioned, the paw
roll OF the Street Superin endent's depart.
ment for Dece Der has not yet been pre-
sented, and these demands will proba biy
result in temporary hold-up by Auditor
Frederick
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-08

thought that wherever it was practicable
a return should be made from ad valorem
to specific duties.
There was a diversity of opinions on
this subject. T. C. Williams OF the Red
wood Lumber Company presented reso-
luton placing duty OF 81 per thousand
feet on all foreign importations of white
and sugar pine, Douglas fir, redwood,
spruce etc. The suggestion was Endorsed
by the conference.
An adjournment of the general confer
ence was then taken 70 Saturday morning
at 10 O'Clock, but the committee on report
convened Immediately Several repre-
sentatives of the wool men were given
hearing first.
Their ideas on the tariff varied slightly,
but they at last reached the harmonious
conclusion that a tariff on foreign wool
not less than that laid down in the Nc
KinIey tariff bill would be entirely salts
factory.
John SWEET, in behalf of the Contra
Costa Fruit Union, wanted rate of "a
cents a pound on foreign grapes. He
mentioned the fact that 1.000,0 900 worth
of the Ell Maria variety alone was imported
annually, besides great quantities OF
Malagas.
The committee then took recess until
80 P. NJ, at which time 1t assem- bled with
Julian Sonntag as cha irman.
b. n. ROwley read letter from cocoa.
nut dealers, asking for Tree admission to
American ports OF cocoanuts, but q tariff
on all food substances manufactured
therefrom.
He was followed by Mr.. Lindsay, repre-
senting the San Mateo County lumber
industry. His ideas of a suitable tariff
coin cided with those of his predecessor of
the morning session.
One of the most interesting subjects
coming before the committee was the
question of tariff on grain bags. 1t was
introduced by J. Y. Millar, secretary of
the California Cotton Mills, located in
Oakland.
1--WE are concerned" he said, more in
the manufacture of burlaps than of grain
bags. Ii grain bags were placed upon the
free list it is inevitable that in time bur-
laps will be also.
II think the abolition of the manufac-
ture of grain bags at San Quentin would
solve the question. This country can
produce all the jute necessary for our own
use, and there IS no need of importing
much from Calcutta. anyway"
Ex-Mayor Pond, George w. McNear and
DR.. Dickinson also took part in the dis
eussion. They believe that as California
farmers are the only men making any use
of grain bags it would be great injustice
TO increase their expense, oyerburdened as
they are already.
The matter was discussed at some
length. the committee freely questioning
the debaters. The meeting finally ad-
journed till to-day at 10 A. NJ. Tomorrow
the committee will report to the general
conference and report TO send 10 the
Committee on Ways and Means at Wash
ingtou will be drawn up.

Attorney Percy Long yesterday filed the
answer OF James P. Dunno. G. w. Neyin,
J. r. Howell and Alfred Perrier to the
complaint brought against them in the
name OF Golden Gate Lodge CT the Order
of Elks.
On account of discussions in the organ
zation its charter was declared forfeited,
and Grand Exalted Ruler NJ. D. Detweiler
demanded all the property of the-lodge.
Mr.. Dunno and his associates, as mem
bers OF tie board of trustees delivered the
property in obedience to Mr.. Detweiler's
order. and some OF the members of the
lodge Directing to this course instituted
the action here mentioned.
The answer sets up as a defense that the
defendants simply performed their duty
in delivering the property to Mr.. Det-
wei.er, and that he took the chattels ard
funds back 10 Harrisburg, Pa. The cues
ton of ownership is to be referred TO the
next Grand Council of the order. Inas-
