BOUGHT BOUQUETS
FOR THE ACTORS
Josephine Hutchinson Tells
About His Romantic
Twin Girls.
Replies to the Charges Made
Against H m by Mrs. Jennie
c. Eurnett.
Helen and Catherine FreQuented a
Theater and Bought Bouquets
fo- the Actors

Joseph ". Hutchinson has filed an an
swer 10 the accusations made against him
in Judge Seawells department of the Su-
p rior Court by his daughters, Helen and
Catherine, by their guardian ad litem,
Mrs. Jennie C. Burnett.
An effort is being made to have the
court declare that Hutchinson is an i'm
proper person to rear his own children.
In opposing Hutchinson application for
the custody of his twin 15-year- old daugh-
ters Mrs. Burnett alleged that he had not
treated the girls right; that he had, by
his harsh treatment, forced his daughters
to flee from him and permitted them to
remain away from his home several
nights, and that they lived and lodged
during said absence under the porch of an
unoccupieo house on Mission street; that
he had cruelty punished his daughters
and that he threatened to send them to a
Magdalen asylum or refuge for fallen
women if he regained custody of them.
All these accusations are denied bv
Hutchinson, and he makes counter at
tack on Mrs. Burnett by declaring that
she is biased and greatly prejudiced
against him, SO that she has attempted to
destroy the dutiiul affection which his
daughters ought naturally to feel for him,
and that she aspires to supplant him in
their minds and hearts. II they prefer 10
live with Mrs. Burnett, he says, it is be-
cause their sentiments in regard to him
have been warped by her during the time
she has had them in her custody.
Hutchinson tells a very good story on his
own behalf and incidentally relates some
striking incidents in the career of his pre-
cocious offspring. He alleges that he sup
piled his children with good home and
that never chastised them except when
it was necessary to correct wilIful DISC
hedience and to enforce proper parental
discipline. This parental authority,
Hutchinson says. is sought to be usurped
by the guardian of the girls.
He AYERS that in 1895, when the girls
were 13 years of age, he was necessarily
absent from San Francisco and beng
widower left his family affairs in charge
of his eldest son, arranging that part of
his salary should be delivered to his
daughters for the purpose of paving
household expenses. They reported to
him the amount they had so drawn, but
subsequently he ascertained that their
state ments were false. for after an absence
OF three months be was informed that his
entire earnings had been drawn by his
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03
\ n

daughters. He learned that the girls had
squandered $64, for which they had not
accounted. and that this money they had
expended for box seats at local theater,
for bouquets for presentation to such act
ors as pleased their fancy and for the pur-
chase of CONNECTIONS and other refresh
ments obtalnable at the cafe connected
with the rheater; that they bought
bronzed ties with fancy trimmings and
tintypes OF themselves TO be distributed
among acquaintances formed at the the
ater which they frequented.
Touching the accusation that he bru-
tally punished his daughters, Hutchinson
explains that some one abstracted from
his room lady's small gold watch, and
on account of the previous bad conduct of
Helen and Catherine he suspected them.
When questioned both of them denied
knowledge OF the whereabouts of the
watch. Because of their .untruthtulness
on other occasions be discredited their
statemen is and whipped them. but not i n
a cruel manner. He says that, on the
contrary, he used only as much severity
as was necessary and right in order to
maintain his paternal authority.
So far as the actions OF the girls in sleep
ing under the porch of an unoccupied
house are concerned, he attributes that to
the romantic and melodramatic ideas that
they got into their heads by their three
months constant attendance at the thea
ter, and he thinks that they used his we'll
established credit al the corner grocery
near his residence to obtain the crackers
and sardines requisite for keeping up this
gypsy-like existence-not because they
were afraid TO return home, but because
such course comported with the tragical
and extravagant notions i'm bibed by them
during the time that they were associat-
ing with acquaintances at the theater.
He concludes by averring that he desires
10 regain custody of his children in order
that he may have their companionship in
good home which he, a skilled ma
chinist, is able anu willing to provide.
Judge Seawell will call the case for pre-
liminary nearing tomorrow morning, at
which time it will be given place on the
calendar for trial.

The Merchants Association has ordered

SCHOOL BOARD
COULD NOT AGREE
Deadlock in the Voting for
Construction Superin-
tendent.
OSullivan and Kincaid Have 1t
All to Themselves in the
Contest.
Several Young Women Appointed
Teachers Unter Suspension of
the Rules

The Board of Education made five at
tempts last evening to elect superin-
tendent of construction of the Mission
High School building, but failed to arrive
at choice. So an adjournment was taken
till Monday morning when last effort
will be made to select this official. There
were three candidates in the field, but one
dropped out on the fourth ballot, leaving
deadlock between the remaining two.
The board was in no hurry to settle
down to business and spent an hour in
committee of the whole in secret session.
After an adjournment to meetin open ses
sion there was no appearance OF pro-
gramme. Balloting was held ON J. P.
klncaid, Joseph Curlett and Daniel
O'Sullivan Tor the Office of superintendent
of construction OF the new high scnool.
The first three ballots stood three for Kin
caid, three for Curlett and five for O'Sul-
Ivan.
Director Ambrose moved that the can
diGate receiving the lowest vote in the
mex: ballot be dropped. His motion was
carried. and in the fourth trial CurIett's
three votes went to Kincaid, and O'Sulli-
vans remained at five.
Another vote was taken without chang
Ing the results, and the bOard gave 1t up
in despair till Monday morning, when the
last meeting will be held.
A communication was received from
Miss F. l.. Soule. requesting that she be
assigned to a position equal to the one
from which she was withdrawn February
81, 1896, under suspension for violation OF
rue regarding corporal punishment.
The letter was referred 10 the classification
Committee.
The Committee on Judiciary reported
concerning the proposed conveyance to
the board of lot of land on Vermont
street. by way OF compromise. that in its
opinion the offer should be accepted. But
in view OF the fact that the transaction
cannot be completed during the lie of this
board, the com mittee recommended that
no action be taken and the matter be left
to the next board.
Another report was submitted by this
committee regarding the Lake View and
Sunnyside improvement Company's claim
for rent for property occupied by the board
at Sunnyside. This report was to the
effect that the Board OF Education com-
mence action against all parties claiming
the rent and the matter be referred to the
City and County Attorney.
The following Recommendations were
made by the City board of examinations

Mr., RIVERS WILL
OCCUPY HIS SEAT
Supervisor Wagner Must
VaCate the Place
To- Morrow.
Any Other Rule Would Be
Revolutionary, Judge Heb
bard Declares.
Attorney McEnerney Shows That an
Injunction Will Not Lie in
Such a Case.

Supervisor Wagner's suit against Su-
pervisor- elect Rivers came up before Judge
Hebbard yesterday morning on the argu-
ment in regard to the injunction hitherto
issued restraining Mr.. Rivers from taking
his seat next Monday in the Board of
Supervisors,
Attorneys Curran and Francoeur repre-
sented Wagner, while Garret McEnerney
appeared for Rivers.
The motion under discussion was to
dissolve the injunction, which, if it re-
mained in force, would prevent Rivers
from going into office with the others who
were elected on the Sd of last November.
Mr.. McEnerney argued that this being
an action in equity, according to his un-
derstandine OF the authorities Judge Heb
bard, sitting as chancellor, had no
jurisdiction. To sustain this posi-
tion Mr.. McEnerney read from the
decisions OF a great many courts, State
and National. Mr.. McEnerney also
showed that it is held that injunctions
granted III political contests of this char
acter are void, and that wherever persons
have been arrested for contempt of court
for ignoring such restraining orders they
have been released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
Citing the case of Moulton VS.. Reid (54
Alabama, page 320), the attorney read as
follows:
A court of chancery is not the proper tri-
for the trial OF contested municipal
election when the charter or q general law
provides Tor such contest, and it has no juris-
diction 10 enjoin the person elected from using
his certificate OF election or from qualifying
and entering upon the duties of his office, al
though such relief is asked by an incumbent
under former election and entitled 10 hold
until his successor is elected and qualified.
A dozen other decisions of similar im-
port were quoted at length, showing that
q court of equity will not take jurisdiction
of a case to determine, and Mr.. McEner-
ney closed with the declaration that Mr..
Wagner had not chosen the proper pro-
ceeding for the purpose of testing his
rights, if he has any; that If he thought
he was entitled TO the Office he might be-
gin mandamus proceedings to compel the
other members of the board to recognize
his right to sit with them, or he mifht
properly institute proceedings in quo war
ranto directly against Rivers after that
gentleman had assumed the office 10
which he was elected. To recognize any
other method of proceeding woaid be in
deed to supplant the ordinary course OF
the law by veritable government by in
junction. The court was asked to set
