case OF Fred a. Davis against Myron A.
Whidden, the Auditor of Alameda Coun-
ty, on petition for a writ of mandate to
compel tnat officer to draw warrants for
the payment of work done on public
street upon the authority of the Super
vi-ors.
On the first of June the Supervisors
ordered Supervisor C. Roeth, who is
qualified and acting Road Commissionre
of the Piedmont road district, to havt
certain work done on Moss aven ue and
Howe street. Several men performed th e
work, which cost $50, and their claims
were approved by the board.
Davis purchased their several claims,
which he presented to the Auditor, but
the latter refu ed to audit the same, al
though there was money In the Piedmont
road district fund for that purpose.
Hence Davis petitioned the court for an
alternate writ of mandate to compel the
Auditor to draw the warrants. In his
amend ed petition he says;
The only ground upon which the defendant
can Justify his refusal 10 draw the warrants
referred to in the petition is that by the road
law known as the "Clark Road Law" passed at
the last session OF the Legislature, the
powers CT the Boards of Supervisors over the
roads were taken away from them and con-
fined upon the road district trustees referred
TO in said act Ii said act is INSTITUTIONAL
and II 1t was not repealed by the passage, su b.
sequently, oil the county government act, and
if the road districts can be organized under the
act at once. the Auditors refusal to draw the
warrants was justifable, otherwise not. Is
the Clark road law constitutional? We sub
nit that it is not for the following reasons:
His reasons SUNNI arized were that every
act shall embrace but one subject, which
subject shall be expressed in lis title, and
the act in question is special and uncon-

THE YELLOW PLAGUE.
Colonel Dan M. Burns and e.. H.
Clapp on the Ravages
Along the Coast.
The Buzzards Are the Sole and Only
scavengers in the Many
Afflicted Places.

Colonel Dan NJ. Burns, owner of the
Candaleria mine at San Dimas, Mexico,
140 miles from Mazatlan, was among the
arrivals by the Acapulco yesterday. He
has been absent many months and was
accompanied by his family. The colonel
says that though there is no fever in the
part of Mexico he was in. he under
stands it is very bad all along the coast be.
low there 10 Panama. This was the story
of all the passengers. 1t is raging fever
and great many fatalities have occurred.
From an account given by George H.
Clapp, who Is at the Grand Hotel, it would
seem that there are a great many deaths
along the lower coast.
There have been twenty-five or thirty
deaths at Champerico," said Mr.. Clapp,
who is a civil engineer on one of the rail-
roads in Guatemala. 1.-The deaths from
the yellow fever in that part of the coun.
try all occur In the cities. There have been
none in the country. Ths cities have nc
sewerage, and the residents depend on the
buzz,rds to clear away the offal of diff.
ferent sorts.
When the sun comes out, after a rain
there are miasmas. 1t is no wonder,
either. The fever is very deadly. The
doctors say it is not yellow fever exactly,
but whatever it is it is pretty bad. One OF
my friends died with 1t. 1t has been very
fatal along the coast to the isthmus.
"In Guatemala, however, it is not as
bad this year as it was two years ago
Then it commenced with the rains and
continued right along, sweeping people
away by thousands. This year it COM
menced in the same way, but luckily did
not carry away so many afterward."

PRECITA VALLEY SCHOOL.
The Board of Education Has Given
Hope to the Improvement Club
for New Building

At a meeting of the Precita Improve.
ment Club Friday night, ]. T. Graham
reported that the Board of Education had
promised him that schoolhouse for the
Valley should be erected befors many
months. The necessity for this building
was made apparent by the number OF
school children who were ready to attend,
if there were but accom- m odations for
them.
The next important movement that in.
terests the people in the valley is the
putting of Bernal Park in condition. This,
the club has been contending for since lis
organization. The little patch of ground
that the people want i'm proved is so small
that they think The Supervisors might
crafty their pride by improving it for
them, as the expense would not be worth
the souabliDg over.
The executive committee reported that
there was a little i'm proyement in the
work in filling up the hollow ground along
side of the old creek.
S. A. Byrne, the president of the club,
stated that until the Bryant-avenue sewer
IS put in condition, there can be no real
improvement considered, as all other
matters for substantial progress might be
delayed until this is done.
The executive committee was instructed
to keep at the Supervisors until the much
needed sewer be put in proper condition.

THE TORRENS LAND ACT,
Attorney General Fitzgerald and Score
tary of State Brown Prepare the
Forms for Legal Procedure.

Attorney General Fitzgerald and Score
tary of State Brown Prepare the
Forms for Legal Procedure.
County officers and others have been
sending letters of inquiry to Attorney
General Fitzgerald lately as regards the
Torrens land act, which went into effect
the 1st inst. Accordingly, he and Secre-
tary of State Brown have had meeting
and prepared the forms necessary for
gong through the legal procedure.
The intention of the law is to better the
system of ascertaining titles 10 real estate
by making it unnecessary to go back to
the Noachian era every time it is desired
to make a transfer of property. By proper
application owners of realty may go in to
the Superior Court ana have the status OF
the title declared. Under the order of
court certificate of title will be issued to
the owner and copy be kept on recor l..
Upon transfer OF the property thereafter
the only thing necessary will be to trans
fer the certificate to the purchaser, as the
certificate will always serve as an abstract
of the title.
The substitution OF the new system for
the old will take place gradually, for the
law does not make it compulsory on prop
erty-owners to observe its provisions. APP
plications, however, on account OF the
simplicity OF the method, will be likely TO
come forward pretty rapidly.

All Vessels Arriving From
Foreign Ports Undergo
Two Inspections.
Welsh & Go. Refuse to Pay
Fees Demanded by Local
Authorities.
Board of Health Brings Suit to Force
Ship-0wners to Comply With
Local Regulations.

A case of unusual interest to ship
owners has been brought in the Justices
Court to test the right of the State quar-
antine authorities to collect fees for the
inspection Of vessels arriving from foreign
ports.
At the present time the arriving vessels
undergo thorough inspection by both the
Federal and State authorities, and the
latter charge fee in proportion to the
tonnage of the vessel.
A. S. Lovelace, the Health Officer of the
Board of Health, has brought suit for
81 5O against Welsh & Co., owners of the
bark 4. 7. Rithet in order to make a test
case and have the proper courts furnish a
decision, in order that the future actions
OF the officials may be conducted legally.
Garret McEnerney appears as attorney
Tor the local health officer, and Emil Pohli
has been retained by the defendant ship
owners, who are about 10 file their answer
and bring the case to a speedy trial.
1t seems that when ship arrives in San
francisco from a foreign port DR.. Rose
nau, the Federal Quarantine Officer ap-
pointed by the President, boards the yes
sci and makes thorough investigation.
Then The local Quarantine Officer, DR..
Chalmers, who is appointed by the Board
OF Health of this City under a state law
bearing on the subject, makes an inspec-
ton, but the permission of the Federal
officer is the only one that is recognized
by the Collector of the Port.
In this there is conflict of authorities
between the United States Government
and the State authorities. The State s
Quarantine Officer collects fee measure d
by the tonnage of the vessel for the in
spection, and this fee he turns into the
City treasury.
In the disputed or contested case the
fee amounts 10 81 so. but the ship-owners.
Welsh & Co., have demurred and OBJ
jected TO paying the fee since they claim
that the inspection instituted by the local
officer is entirely useless, in view of the
fact that vessel has already passed
through an inspection at the hands of the
Federal authorities and that the latter s
permission to land and discharge is the
one accented by the Collector of the Port.
The objection OF Welsh & Co. to pay the
81 so LED the Board of Health to COM
mence suit to test the question. AS the
question is one that v1tally interests the
big shipping houses much interest is at
tached 10 the suit, which will be prose
cuted and defended by both sides with
great earnestness, and carried to court
where q final decision can be secured.
The defendant corporation is preparing 10
file their reply to the complaint and this
will be done within few days.

OVERWORKED CHILDREN.

Labor Commissioner Fitz gerald Will
Investigate the Condition of Affairs
Which Prevails in This City.
In view OF the attention paid to child
labor in this City by recent writers and
speakers on local topics, Labor Com mis-
sioner Fitzgerald has determined that
facts have been brought 10 light which
warrant him in investigating the subject.
At the recent Woman's Congress Miss
Carlin of Berkeley stated that between
20. 600 and 25,000 children were breadwin-
ners In this City. Mrs. Lydia Prescott Of
the Society for the Pre- ven tion OF Cruelty
to Children listened TO these statements
and disagreed with them TO the extent
that she has prevailed on the Labor CON-
missioner to give them his attention and
mako an investigation.
This Don Quixote enterprise will begin
next "Wednesday, when the doughty Com
missioner will accompany Mrs. Prescott
on the initial trip. The detail will be fol-
lowed mp until the whole City has been
covered.

ON A WEDDING JOURNEY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Anderson of
Washington, D. G., in
Town.
The Bride Is Rated as One Of the
Richest Young Women in the
United States.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Anderson of Wash
ington, d. c., registered at the Palace
Hotel yesterday. They were married re-
Gently in Boston and are on wedding
journey around the world.
The bride, who was Miss Isabella Per-
kins OF Boston, IS rated as one of the rich
est young women in the world Her
wealth is estimated as high as $40, 000, 900.
Even The most modest people of Boston.
people as conservative as Mr.. Howelis,
who wrote "a Chance Acquaintance" and
"a Wedding Journey" for the special de-
light of Boston brides, estimate her wealth
al $50 600, 600. She is accomplished, pre-
possessing and sensible.
Mr.. and Mrs.. Anderson took In the
sights of San Francisco yesterday. They
drove through TIE PARK IN the atternoo II
and dined at the Cliff Hou'e in the even
ing. They will remain in and about the
City until next Wednesday, when they
will sail for the Orient on the steamship
Gaelic. The trip around the globe will be
made leisurely, as Mr.. Anderson is not
obliged to hasten in order TO get back to
his work. 1t is the present intention OF
the happy young couple to loiter 1or sew
eral weeks in Hawaii and see all there is
to be seen at the Islands. Japan Is
country especially interesting to brides in
lar. hence long stay may be made in tnat
country.
The account OF the wedding of this
young couple recently filled many col
umns OF the daily press. The immense
wealth of the brides ancestors was d welt
upon and the statement that she had in
heriied millions and would soon come
into possession OF millions more was elab-
Grated and perhaps slightly EN- bellished
for the occasion. In her jaunts about the
City with her husband yesterday she wore
a walking dress of navy blue and surely
gave no outward sign that she was op-
prested with the burden OF ancestral mil
lions. One might have supposed her to
be well-to-co and progressive delegate
from New England to the Christian En-
deayor conyen ton. She said that the
trip across the continent was pleasant and
that she anticipated more pleasure in the
VOYAGE to Hawaii.
Lars Anderson, who may be called
lucky as we'll as deserving bridegroom,
is grandson of Lars Anderson and the
son OF Colonel Nick Anderson of Ohio.
The family is related to Major Anderson
of Fort Sumter fame. He is a manly
looking and wel-spoken young gentle
man OF the American type.
