IRVTNG'S SUIT ON TRIAL.
Charges the Horbor CommissioD- CTS With UnloWfully AWurd
 ina Contracts

The suit of Samuel c. Irving against the State Board of Harbor Commission ers-Colnon. Harney and Chadbourne- was commenced before Judge Belcher yesterday. It is alleged by Irving, who represents the Parafflne Paint Company, that the Commissioners are seeking to un- lawfully give the work of coating piles used along the water front to the San Francisco Wood Preserving Company He claims that the Paraff1ne Paint Company presented the lowest bid for the prepara- tion of the Green-street wharf piles, but it was rejected. It is also claimed that the Commissioners are in collusion with the San Francisco Wood Preserving Com pany. and the plaintiff asks that the de- fendants be enjoined forever from com miting such alleged unlawful acts.
 Secretary Keegan of the board and Commissioner Colnon were on the stand yesterday. and explained the method of the framing and issuing of the contracts in dispute. The case will go on again this morning.

mainland and employed where their services are most required.
 The department commanders plan of having the infantry perform all the guard duty at the Presidio so as to re- lieve the artillery from all service of this kind was highly commended by the Assistant Secretary of War. The addition of two companies of heavy artillery to the present garrison at the Presidio need not disturb the existing order of duty so far as the infantry companies are concerned.
 Colonel M. P. Miller, Third Artillery, with headquarters now at Angel Isl- and, Is two days the senior in rank of Colonel Evan Miles, First Infantry, now commanding the post at the Pre- sidio. The impression prevails among the troops that Colonel Miller could not come to the Presidio without dis placing Colonel Miles as post com mander. If both officers were station ed at the garrison the senior would be entitled to command the post, but no good reason seems to exist why an artillery station or camp should not be established near the mortar battery, two miles distant from the Presidio | Barracks.
 Much time is lost every day in taking | the troops from the barracks at the | Presidio out to the heavy fortifica- ! tions. The troops are brought in for | the noon meal and taken out again for | the afternoons work. Sooner or later | there must be force of artillery with i in immediate reach of the guns ap- pointed to defend the harbor. It is ad- mitted by all the military authorities ] that this will be done when another regiment of artillery is ordered to this | city. Four batteries of the Third Ar
 tillery could now be made very com-
 fortable in tents near the mortar bat teries and 12-inch guns.
 The proposed review and sham bat tie at the Presldio tomorrow ought to
 assemble a multitude of spectators.
 The revolutions will take place on the parade plain within the immediate
 view of the spectators. There will be no
 attempt to solve a problem in tactics
 by deploying troops on the hills of the
 reservation. This might be interest ing from a purely military point of
 view, but would not afford much pleas
 ure to the visitors from the city.

TOO MUCH WORK
 FOR SOLDIERS Caring for the Big Rifles and Mounting the New
 MOrtarS.
Suggestion to Increase the Force of Artillerymen at the
 PresidiO.
The Post at Angel Island Could Be Abandoned Without Detrinlent
 to the Service,

There is feeling among some of the commissioned officers and enlisted men of the Third United States Artillery that the work of caring for the new guns recently placed in position, to- gether with the labor of mounting the new mortar battery. is more than should be imposed on the two compa- nies of heavy artillery detailed for duty at the Presidio. The fact is taken into consideration that the companies of the First United States Infantry, sta toned at the post, perform all the guard and fatigue duty of the garrison proper. It is said that the time of guard duty to the infantry soldier comes but once in a fortnight. Two days of extra duty atsthe garrison dur ing the same period of time gives him three days of duty in two weeks, while the .artilleryman must work eight hours a day every day in the week saving Sunday.
 The men of the light batteries having their own guns and horses to care for. are not obliged to work on the fortifl- cations, hence the burden of toll falls on the soldiers of the heavy artillery. It is said that the work could be appor- toned with greater fairness if the two batteries of heavy artillery now sta toned at Angel Island were brought to the Presidio.
 It is clearly a military necessity that Lime Point, AlcatraZ and Fort Mason should be garrisoned with artiIlerymen. but there seems to be no good reason for keeping batteries of the Third Ar tillery or troops of any other arm of the service at Angel Island
 It is reported that General Shafter commanding the Department of Cali fornia, has in mind the establishment of an artillery camp near the recently mounted modern guns on the Presidi- reservation. Should this plan be carried out the batteries now stationed on An gel Island could be transferred to the

A Mum Der of Complaints Recently Made to
 the Police.
J. c. Fredericks, Steiner Street, Loses Four Valuable Nal
 teSe Cats.
pr. Greedy States That a Large Mum Der of Cases Have Been Brought
 to His Attention.

Numerous complaints have been made to the police recently, not only or valuable dogs having been stolen to meet the demand for the Klondike, but also of dogs, cats, fowls and other do- mestic pets having been poisoned.
 Yesterday J. c. Fredericks. 1912 Stein CT street. called upon Chief Lees and complained that within three weeks four valuable Maltese cats belonging to him had beer poisoned. Three of them met the same fate on the night of Jan uary 5 and the other on Monday night. Fredericks had with him a tin dish half filled with fish, which he had taken from neighbor's yard. pr. Greedy had analyzed the fish and found large quan- titles of strychnine mixed with it. He suggested that some action should be taken by the police to find out the poi soners, as he had not only lost his cats, but also several valuable fowls by poi son.
 pr. Greedy accompanied Fredericks, and he told the Chief that a large num- Der of people had come to him recently asking him to analyze the stomachs of dogs and cats that had evidently been poisoned, and in every case he had found the presence of Strychnine. He
 
 poisoning animals. unless it was done by some evil disposed persons without any ulteriCr motive. About a week ago he was called to South San Francisco to attend young colt that had been horribly cut with a knife by some fiend. The owner could offer no apparent req son for the dastardly act, as he could not think of any enemy who would be guilty of venting his spite upon the dumb brute.
 The Chief sent for Captain Bohen, and the Captain was instructed to de- tail a couple of detectives to look into the Fredericks case and. if possible, discover the perpetrator of the poison ing of the cats and fowls. 1t is a fel- ony to administer poison to animals, and if the perpetrator Is caught an eX- ample will be made of him or her.
 In regard to the poisoning of dogs, the Chief thought that 1t might be done by burglars with the object of getting the faithful sentinelS out of the way. He assured Fredericks and pr. Greedy that the department would do every thing possible to stop the crime, and in- structions would be given to the Cap tains of each district to notify their men to be on the lookout for the poi SonerS.

Baldwin Gardiner Sue cum bs to a Stray
 Shot.
Suffered for Weeks, Surrounded by His, Family and
 Friends.
An Attempted Burglary Led to the Shooting, Which Is Surrounded
 in Mystery.

Baldwin Gardiner, an aged stock broker. who was shot. supposedly by Adam Stroh, a burglar. on Christmas day, died last evening at the Waldeck, surrounded by his family and friends. At the time of the shooting it was thought by the physicians that the wound. which was over the heart, would prove fatal, and last evening the prognosis proved correct.
 The cause of the shooting and the developments which followed aroused general interest and the news sur rounding the case was anxiously watched On Christmas night the household was aroused by a noise made by Stroh, and MT. Gardiner went to the rear in search of the intruder. De- tectives had surrounded the house, and shortly after the burglar was discov- cred hanging to a porch railing in the rear a shot was heard and the deceased fell to the floor fatally wounded.
 A dying statement was made which accused Stroh of having fired the fatal shot, but after developments created a general opinion that a patrol driver had unintentionally shot the stock broker. Investigation followed and it is now probable a charge of murder
 
 general opinion that the burglar will be vindicated.
 After the shooting the deceased was carried to his apartments in his home at 1135 Geary street and Dr. RiX- ford was hurriedly called. Drs. Cheney and Dozier soon followed and all was done to make the sufferer comfortable. On the 4th of this month the suffering man was taken to the Waldeck, where he died. The cause for the removal was not generally known. but it is supposed that it was thought by the family that more attention would be given the deceased at the hotel than could be ar ranged for at the residence.
 The deceased, who was 59 years of | age and a native of New York. was well known throughout the coast, and ] for years had been prominently con- nected with the leading local stock 1 brokers. He had been known as a l thorough business man and thoroughly honorable in all his dealings. The Coroner's office was notified of 1 the death and the body was removed ! tO the MOr2ue.
