Buckiey's Snap"

Despite the protests of the property
owners. the investigation of the Board of
Supervisors and the attention that has
been called to the matter through the
medium OF the public press, Bateman
Bros. still continue their Fabian policy in
their construction of the new Hall of
Justice.
Yesterday only five men were "at work.
on the site. These ~ere all engaged in
digging to reach the bottom of the old
cesspool discovered by the recent eAcava-
tion in the southeast corner of the lot.
One of these workmen volunteered the In
formation that they expect to reach hard
soil by next Monday. Only expect
that is all.
Not bricklayer was in sight. In fact,
if the testimony of reliable residents of
the vicinity is to be taken, not a single
br lex has been laid for three days.
So far the contractors have given only
the lamest excuses Tor their singular
apathy in the matter. Their stock in
trade in this line consists of two stereo-
typed tales OF woe. First, they say the
cesspool will have to be entirely cleaned
out before the foundation of the south

on the northeast corner of the site. 1
The cesspooi is expected" to be cleaned
out by Monday; and with the same
mournful cadence comes the tale that the
owners of the building in question are
expected" to begin the work of under
pinnlng at tie same time. The faulty CT
these excuses NAV be seen in the TACT that
the cesspooi could be cleaned out and
made ready for the foundation in two
days by two or three worKmen, while A bra
ham Cohn stated that he had engaged a
contractor and would begin to underpin
his building two weeks ago.
Tired OF and disguised at these fiimsv
excuses certain representatives of the
North End Improvement Association.
namely, President John Shirley, Colonel
George d. Shad burne, w. II. Bodfi and
G. A. Berton, went before the Building
Committee of the Board of Supervisors on
May II and made an urgent request that
an end be put to the dilatory methods Of
the contractors. The principals, with
Superintendent of Construction Buckley
and Architect Shea, were present also and
many and varied alleged reasons were
given for the inactivity. The result was
that while seven men were at work on
Tuesday. May II, only five were on hsnd
yesterday.

elected to Prove the
Venue.
Judge Carroll Cook Displeased Because
of a Technical Error in
Rec mt Trial.

Another surprise was sprung in the
James McNulty case in Judge Cook court
yesterday.
McNulty had fight with G. G. Bennett
at Thorn & McManus' lanyard on the
18th of last February, in which pitchforks
and cleavers were used. In consequence
McNulty was arrested on a charge of as
sault to murder. He was held to answer
for assault with deadly weapon and
after hard-fought trial was convicted of
simple assault with recommend alton to
the extreme mercy of the court.
When the defendant was called up to re-
ceive his sentence yesterday morning At
| torneys T. J. Lennon and Joseph K.
Hawkins objected to further proceedings
on the ground that there was nothing in
the record to show that the alleged offense
was committed in the City and County OF
San Francisco.
whats that?" demanded Judge Cook,
''do you mean to say that the venue was
not proved in this caseP"
THAT is our suggestion" replied Mr..
Lennon.
| Judge Cook unused for moment on the
| uncertainty of judicial proceedings and
| then asked for the official record. 1t
proved to be too voluminous for peru al
| at that time and an adj ,urnment of the
case was ordered until the Goth instant.
| Bennett, the man attacked by McNulty,
was very bitter in his enmity against his
assailanl and in order to make sure of a
conviction. as he thought, hired Lawyer
| Thorn as Y. Case to act as special counsel
| for the prosecution. This relieved the
regular prosecuting Office serving in
Judge Cook court and Mr.. Kase was per-
| mitted to conduc: the trial alone.
The defendant and his attorneys assert
| that the only proof adduced with regard
! to the location of the fight was that it took
place in Thorn d McManus' LANYARD and
| that nothing was said about that lanyard
| being within the jurisdiction of Judge
| Cooks court. His Honor frowned impa-
| tientiy as he admitted that if such were
the st, te of the record a new trial would
have to be granted.
He also gave notice that hereafter the
regularly appointed prosecuting attorney
must be present during all trials in his
department of the Superior Court With
an experienced prosecutor the establish
ment of the venue is seldom or never
omitted, because it is known to be vital

the defendant is entitled to appeal direct

ton, as there is no longer any proba bility

Mr.. Neyille-Rolfe, British Consul at
Naples. gives an interesting account of
the history and present position of the
Bank of Naples, which is, he says, the
oldest bank in existence. for the Monte
Vecchio of Venice and the Banco San
Giorgio at Genoa, both founded in the
twelfth century, have ceased to exist, as
has also the Bank of Barcelona, founded
in the fourteenth century. The Bank of
Naples was founded in 1884, and is state
bank with a considerable capital to which
no one lays any claim; in other words. it
is a joint stock bank, but with no share
holders.

Steel and Brick Rondways.

Secretary Wilson has given directions
to Gen Roy Stone chief OF the bureau
OF good roads at the department of agri-
culture. TO construct a sample steel road
way at the most convenient location hS
can find at the Nashville exposition
where 1t may be seen and studied by the
visitors who Will attend the exposition
during the summer. Secretary Wilson
thinks the steel rrackway for wagons is
the easiest solution of the good roads
problem, particularly in the West where
stone and gravel are scarce and the soil
Is deep and sticky.
In sections whore stone is very scarce
said Secretary Wilson. AS in Central IL
inois. experiments are being made fnr
the construction OF brick roads. At Mon
mouth a road has been made OF a single
course of vitrified brick set on edge, laid
on sand seven feet wide between Curbs
Of oak plank and borders of broken stone
10 a distance Of two feet on each side.
This road has not been in use long
enough 10 be fully tested. but has given
a very favorable impression at the out
Set. IT has been recommended that an
experiment be made with brick track
ways for wheels and gravel between for
the tread Of horses. and il Is quite pos
sibie that steel trackways may be profit
ably substituted for brick.
"A more thorough test of brick roads
has been made in Cuyahoga county. O..
where they have proved satisfactory
that they are being extended in several
directions. The plans for their extension
call for stone curbing on both sides OF
an eight-foot track of brick, the remain
der OF the road. twenty feet wide, is
graded but not paved. These roads how
ever. have been expensive. and have re-
quired much heavy grading. The cost of
paving is much higher than that of a
