DIED FOR WANT
OF PATRONAGE
Art Association Mardi Gras
a Thing Of the
Past.
Lack of Support Last Year
and the Consequent Fail
ure, the Cause.
This Seasons Buds and Debutantes
Very Much Disappointed at
the News.

Unless some unforeseen aid come for
ward the annual MaIdi Gras bail given By
the San Francisco Art Association is a
thing of the past. Lack of patronage is
the principal cause-society did not take
the interest in 1t that 1t should, and con-
sequentiy it is TO die an early death.
Year before last only 20 cents was
cleared and this last year only $40. this
leaving practically nothing in the treas
ury for the association, for whose benefit
the ball was supposed to have been given.
Horace G. Platt, president of the asso-
citation, when seen by a CALL reporter
yesterday, said: The chances are 10 10
against the ball. The ladies who were by
their own request appointed members of
the reception committee last year did not
seem TO grasp the responsibilities OF their
position. or the twenty who were ca
pected to serve on that committee only
two made their appearance For some
unknown reason a report was circulated
ar ound that Mardi Gras ball was not
tn g place for q bud or debu.antes, and so
many of them stayed away. While there
were many present, still some of them
that should have been there die not
come, and so spoiled one of the prettiest
affairs of the season."
Mr.. Plat seemed rather disguised with
it all, and said that he did not see why
the association shou Id go TO the trouble to
give an expensive ball if it was not going
TO be patroniZed by those who particu-
larry asked that it should be given. Last
year the board of directors did not want
to have It," he said, "but wrestled with
them successfully, only TO have the thing
almost failure after all. This year
shall do nothing for it at all, and 1 think
that the majority of the board feel the
same way about IT,"
Although the bail does not take place
until Just before Lent each year, il has
always been the most discussed function
of the season. So this year the buds and
debutantes are very much worried and
disappointed about the report that the
Mardi Gras, in San Francisco at least is
a thing of the past. The affair has al ways
been such a pretty one that it is consid-
cred a shame 10 have il stop because of
the lack of patronage.

MR.. TOOHEY'S
Big TEA PARTY
Merchants and Brokers
, Waiting for His
Successor.
List Of Applicants for the Per-
manent Position Of
Examiner.
ToOhey's Decisions Very Unsatisfac-
tory and 0verruled by the
Appraisers.

importers of tea expect that in about
two weeks they will hear from Washing
ton with reference to the Examiner of
Teas, who will be appointed permanently
for this port, the position being held at
present temporarily for ninety days by
Cornelius To0hey, whose term will expire
in less than a month.
civil service examination was held
in this city some time ago for the posi-
ton and the fo!Iowing-named gentlemen
went into the examination as applicants
and the papers were sent to Washington
for review. Out of the number the three
highest will be selected and from those
three Collector Jackson will be asked to
make q selection of one:
Cornelius Toohey, z. n. Bolton, DR..
Robert l. Bowie, S. B. Samuels, q. +.
Emery, Z. S. Various L. Weintraub, T.
McInerneY, c. c. Willis, Q. Wright c. E,
Simons, R. Z. Dolan, Z. B. Strong.
lea merchants are dissatisfied with Mr.
Toohey's rulings, ana they point TO the
TACT that with the exception of the teas
-, imported by Chinese merchants for use
among their own PEOPLE his decisions have
been reversed by the United States Board
OF General Appraisers il New York City.
Hence they are anxious for the appoint
ment OF his successor as speedily as DOS
sibe
Tea experts say that it will be difficult
to get frst-class man as Tea Examiner
for $1,000 per year, the fixed salary Of the
place. because that official will be required
TO abandon his private business and de-
vote himself exclusively TO the duties OF
his office, which are not at all onerous,
but responsible. The position, they say.
is worth $4,000 per annum.

TT RAISED
A Big LAUGH
Yellow Journalism and It's
Great Scoop on City
Finances.
A Deficit That Was Chestnutty
Magnifed Tenfold and
Called News.
Examiner Enterprise That Made
the Paper the Butt of the
Municipal Employees.

Yellow journalism, as exemplifed by
the Examiner, was the laughing-stoc of
the City Hall yesterday as result of the
fake story regarding the deficit in the city
funds, published yesterday morning.
The Examiner, always behind with City
Hall news, discovered late in the after
noon that Auditor Brode rick had filed a
financial report with the Board OF Super
visors. Immediately there was scare in
the office OF the yellow journal, reporters
were hurled into hacks" and as a reault
long and totally inaccurate story re-
garding city finances was published.
The news was given to Examiner read
ers that the Auditor flied mis- annual re-
port yesterday" and in gIaring headlines
it was set forth to Examiner readers that
deficit of $720. $50 30 had been discovered
in tine city treasury. A column of figures,
os,ensibly from a recent product of the
Auditors Office, were published to sup
port the head lines.
The facts of the matter are these:
In June last Auditor Broderick made up
the figures of his annual statement, show
ing the condition of the city's finances,
and the same were published in THE CALL
at the time. 1t was ev dert that Their e
was to be deficit of about $40, 900, and in
order to save the merchants who had
Tue Clty with ppllcS Tue Audi
[ Or decided TO carry over into the ne W
fiscal year the salaries of city employees.
amounting to $3.50 600. This created q
surplus of nearly $50 600.
In order to guard against deficit the
heads of departments met and talked over
the situation and presented their case to
the Supervisors.
In the new tax levy the shortage was
provided for.
Four weeks ago the AUDITORS annual
, statement, containing nothing but what
had already been published, was handed
to the Supervisors.
The statement that was filed on Mon.
day was the Auditors quarterly state
ment. containing nothing conclusive and
showing no deficit of any kind
There was no annual statement, there
was no deficit of $3.50 $50 81, there was
nothing but the lurid Imagination and
exaggeration of yellow journalism.

AFTER WARDEN HALE,
