SCHOOL CHANGES.
A New Ninth Grade Established ON
Account of Overcrowding.

On account of the er-croWding of
the schools the City Superintendent of
Schools has been forced to make some
changes.
He found that at the Hardness Gram
mar School there were sixty-eight pu-
pills in the ninth grade, making it nee
essary to establish a new ninth grade.
In order to do this he has consQi-
the two third grades at Twenty-third
and N streets, leaving the consolidated
class in charge of Miss Elizabeth ROg-
ers. Miss Irene Richardson has been
placed in charge of the new ninth
grade. while Miss Nellie Todd will fill
the vacancy made by Miss Richard
sons promotion, Miss Louise Conrad
takes Miss Todd's place; Miss Ella
Sherburn takes Miss Conrad's place;
Miss Ada Tenbrook takes Miss Sher-
burns place and Miss Lulu Kaerth
is transferred from Twenty third and N
streets to take Miss Tenbrooks place.
The Sutter Grammar School is also
crowded to its utmost capacity, and
the ninth grade at the Sacramento
Grammar School is very full.
The High School is badly over crowd
ed. and Superintendent Erlewine has
had 10 procure twenty-five new desks
to place in the annex to the school
that has been rented by the Board Of
Education in the next block.

THE STATE is SAFE.
Her Taxes Not Affected by the San
Francisco Rumpus.

The State Board of Equalization has
granted Auditor Broderick of San Fran
cisco a weeks extra time in making up
his tax roll for that city. The extension
had been asked in order to cover the
delay caused by each OF the Boards of
Supervisors Of that city having made a
tax levy and turned it into the Auditor
The latter submitted the question to the
Supreme Court as to which of the levies
he should recognize.
Attorney General Fitzgerald had al
ready given an opinion, however, on
the matter, and according to his YER
sion of the situation the State has moth
ing to do with the question at issue, as
the Legislature had already amply pro-
vided for just such an emergency as
now exists. He quotes the following
section of the Political Code which
says:
Section 3715 The action of the State
Board of Equalization in fixing the rate
Of taxation for State purposes is, in the
absence of action by the Board of Su-
pervisors, a valid levy of the rate so
fixed, and imposes upon the Auditor,
Tax Collector and all other officers
charged with the performance of any
duty under the revenue law the same
obligations as if the Board of Super
visors had made the levy at the prpoer

COMING CITY CONVENTIONS.
ASPIRANTS FOR THE VARIOUS
CITY OFFICES.
A Wofu1 Lack of Candidates for
Some of the Minor
Places.

Next week will be lively one in po-
litical circles. Three conventions will
be held for the nomination of candi-
dates for the various city offices to be
voted for at the coming municipal cleo
ton The Republicans will hold their
convention on Wednesday, the Demo-
Gratis on Friday and the Citizens Asso-
citation on Saturday
There viii be but one primary, how
ever, that of the Republicans, which
will be held on Tuesday and all can
and doubtless Will-take a hand in it.
The Democrats will appoint their dele
gates, and the convention of the So
called Citizens organization will con-
sist of the members thereof.
For some of the offices to be filled
there is a plethora of candidates, but
in several of the wards but few have
been mentioned for ward positions. AS
far as the Record-Union' has been
able to learn, the candidates are as ap-
pears below: All classed as Republi-
cans will not it is understood, go be-
fore the convention, for some have al
ready announced their purpose of run
ming Independently:
Land. B. Z. Steinman, c. H Hubbard
and John We'll (Republicans). The DEM
ocratic candidates are G. E. Leonard,
William Mclaughlin and ]. G. Davis.
For City Attorney-A. A. DeLdgne,
Eugene Wachhorst and w. F. Renfro.
These are all Republicans, but Wach-
/ horst and Renfro will run as Independ-
| ents.
| Auditor and ASSESSOR. D. Young
! Republican, and Robert Martyr (Dem-
ocrat).
Collector-C. c. Robertson, Emmet
| Phillips and Charles A. Root, all Re-
publicans.
| Trustee (First Ward)-H. Wachhorst,
! F. F. Tebbets, w. H Sherburn and j.
| F. Woods (Rep.), and 1. Boysen, Felix
Mclaughlin and H. B. Nielsen (Dein.)
1t is quite likely Mr. Sherburn will not
allow his name to go before the con-
vention, but in any event he will not
run as an Independent.
Trustee CThird Ward)-Charles w
Paine and w. w. Bassett (Rep), and
M ]. Bannon Dem.).
Trustee (F'ifth Ward)-Phil Douglas
(Rep).
/
knights (Rep), and Henry Brown
! Dem.).
Trustee (Ninth Ward)-J. H. Dolan,
R. Decker and NJ. Pennish (Rep).
School Director (Second Ward)-Geo
B. Stack. plumber CRep), and Fred
Schneider, saloon keeper (politics not

Atkinson, physician (Rep).
School Director (Sixth Ward)-D. D
Whitbeck, banker (Rep.)
School Director eighth Ward)-Win
J. Davis, editor and stenographer and
present Chairman of the Board of Edu-
| cation (Rep).
No doubt other candidates will come
to the surface for some of these offices
before the conventions meet, but al
present it looks as if certain aspirants
may have a walkover.

McADAMS DISCHARGED.
The Court Held He Had Acted
Merely in Self Defense.

George McAdams, foreman of the sew
er work at Third and streets, was dis
charged in the Police Court yesterday
by Justice Davis, on the ground that he
acted in self-defense.
McAdams was charged by George Nc
Kenzie with having struck him on the
head with a shovel. The facts showed
that McAdams discharged Mckenzie,
who afterward went to him and de-
manded his time, and was told that he
could not get it till one of the contrac-
tors arrived. He started for McAdams,
saying he would take the time out of
him, and McAdams hit him with the fat
of his shovel.
After McAdarns was discharged, City
Attorney Brown said Mckenzie should
be punished for contempt of court, as
he had told a false story and wasted the
time of the court.
The court ordered Mckenzie locked
up until to-day, and an opportunity will
be given him to explain why he should
not be punished for contempt.

MetcaIf Went to Work the Wrong
WAY to Collect His Money.

Yesterday afternoon a drunken man
whose name appeared on the po-
lice slate as John Doe went into the
saloon at Third and K streets and or
dered something to eat at the lunch
counter, and after eating it refused to
pay for it.
NJ. E. Metcalf, the proprietor of the
lunch counter, seized him by his whis-
kers, and the row attracted Officer Ash,
who told Metcalf that was not the way
to collect his bill, and to desist. In
stead, Metcalf struck the man twice in
the face and Officers Ash and Harlow
took them both to the station, placing
a charge of battery against Metcalf and
one of drunk against the other man.
