The appointment of Captain W. L. Merry as

PRODDING THE CONTRACTORS,
Merchants association Wants the Hall
of Justice Work Enlivened.

of Justice Work Enlivened.
The Merchants Association is de ediy
interested in the work on the new Hall of
Justice that is being erected with so much
apparently studied slowness. The Nom bers
have watched matters, and, to Judge from
recent Developments, they are not at all
satisfied with the way the work is being
done. This is man ifest by the following
letter that was sent to the contractors yes-
terday, evidently for the purpose of prod
ding them up to little more activity in
the work of constructing the building:
Messrs Batemdn Bros, Contractors of the
Hall of Justice, 10 NeW Montgomery Street
City-GENTLEMEN: AT the regular meeting OF
the board of directors of the Mercbants' Asso-
ciatlon held to-day it was unanimously re-
solved to exert all reasonable and Just efforts
to insure the completion of the Hall of JUS
tice within the time allotted by the official
specifications Section 10 of said speclfica-
tions provides that the whole OF the work
shall be completed on or before October l,
1897, and in case any of the work shall re-
main uncompleted after that date penalty
of 800 for each day beyond that time must
be paid by the Contractor as liquidated DAM
ages to the City and County. Owing TO the
delay on the part OF the City authorities in
having the lot cleared of the old buildings
thereon, you were prevented from commenc.
ing work for about sixty, or at most ninety
days after the award OF the contract and the
acc ep ance OF your bond. This would involve
lalr eAleuslou ol tHe uaIe oi tne comp elton
OF the Hall of Justice to January i, 1888
Section 20 of said specifications provides
that mo extension OF any time will be al
lowed to the contractor unless for special
causes, considered and allowed by the Surer
ylsors on formal application OF the con
tractor" Believing that the time allowed b.
law is sufficient for the completion of thy
Hall of Justice, and that further delay in the
work would be an injustice to the taxpayers
OF San Francisco. we Big to inform you thas
any appl cation for IN extension of time bet
yond January /, 1898. will be strongly resist
ed by the Merchants Association. Respect
fully yours,

A VOLUME OF POETRY.

Verses of Gener l.. H. Foote Will Be
Published Early in October by
the Authors Guild.
The next book of tho California authors
series, to be issued under the auspices of
the Literary Guild, will be volume of
poetry representing the work of Lucius
Harwood Foote. 1t may be said that the
volume will embrace the highest effort of
General Foote in the art of poetry and
versemaking. The book should issue
from the press of the Roycroft Publishing
Company of New York early in October.
The coming of this volume of verse has
awakened more than usual interest among
mem hers OF the guild. The publishers, it
is said predict success for the author in
larger field than the guild contem-
plates.
During the past year General Foote has
received many proofs OF a high recogni-
tion of his work, and his friends expect
that the book will bring his talents promi-
nently before the reading public.

Mamie E. Johnson, The plaintiff here, who
describes herself as the sister of the FIVE
minor children, alleges that her father
is not bic TO properly support the minor
children, and says that they will suffer
if they are turned out of their dwelling
place by their mother. she asks the court
to restrain the mother of the minors, and
to make an order permitting the children
to continue in their occupancy of the
premises until some proper provi,ion can
be made for their comfort and sustenance.
