MAYOR PHELAN
 MUST ELECT Auditor Broderick Has an Awakening of His
 Conscience.
He May Refuse to Approve Any Warrants of Deputy County
 Clerks.
Claims the Mayor Allowed Seven Questionable Demands to Be
 Paid Last Month.

Auditor Broderick's conscience has been troubling him during the past month. AS the result of these moral twitchings, all the warrants of the County Clerks deputies may be 'held up'' until the decision of the Supreme Court is rendered in the case brought by the Mayor to enjoin the Auditor from signing rcore than a certain num- Der of these demands.
 According to Mayor Phelan's conten- tion the act of April 2, 1880, under which County Clerk Curry appointed the eighty-four deputies now employed in his office, is unconstitutional. and under the pre-existing law the County Clerk could appoint only thirty-two deputies.
 In the suit brought by the Mayor he
 asked to have the Auditor enjoined from signing the demands of forty-five deputies This left thirty-nine to be
 approved by the Auditor, and the
 names of all these were selected by the Mayor In the Superior Court the
 case was decided against the Mayor,
 who took an appeal to the Supreme Court.
 Auditor Frederick duly approved the !
 none of the others, as he intends to
 await the decision of the Supreme | Court.
 | Tomorrow there will be presented to 1 him another batch of eighty-four de- ] mands for the County Clerks deputies. i Thinking over the matter during the 1 past few days the Auditor thinks that 1 the Mayor was wrong in allowing 1 thirty-nine demands to be paid when l the law, which his Honor claims is in i force, allows the County Clerk only | thirty-two deputies. For this reason
 he has asked the Mayor to designat.
 the thirty-two demands that are to be
 approved by the Auditor this month.
 Up to the present time the Mayor has i declined to draw his pencil through
 seven of those he singled out for his
 kind consideration last month.
 Auditor Frederick stated yesterday
 that unless the Mayor selected the 1 thirty-two who were to have their de-
 mands paid this month he might feel
 compelled to withhold his approva,
 from all of the eighty-four He added 1 that if he had his choice he would elect
 to pay only the men who are married and have families.
 A conference is to be held tomorrow 1 between the Mayor, the County Clerk
 and the Auditor to see if some sats- 1 factory solution of the matter cannot 1 be secured.
 County Clerk Curry stated yesterday
 that it would make no difference with
 the working force in his office whether l they got their pay or not at this tine. l At the time the question was first l brought up by the Mayor he informed ] all his deputies that their salaries 1 might be withheld for some time and 1 possibly not paid at all, and said he 1 was ready to receive the resignations | of any who did not want to take 1 chances in the matter. No resigna- | tions were rendered, and none are like | ly to be now, so the operation of the l courts will not be interfered with, even | if none of the demands are approved

The first to enlist is Corporal Frank Bush, who some years ago saw the national colors on Broadway on general holiday, and as there was an advertisement on the flag he asserted what he considered to be his authority and cut the flag down.
 This company enjoys the distinction of being connected with the church which flies the stars and stripes from it's high est peak, and 1t believes that in this re- spect its church enjoys a unique distinc tion in California.

Suit on a Note Involving One of the
 Claimants

Since the note was issued it has passed through many hands, and Armstrong, anxious to collect, has discovered that Cook still claims some interest in sec uon Of the water front, and the whole of the property has therefore been attached as precautionary measure.
