ALAMEDA'S MANY COURTS
FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH IS NOT
 WORTH COLLECTING.
Next Year the Law Will Do Away With an Office for Which No Need Ever Ex-
 isted.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

SVo bfOdQWdys AuS.
 Some surprise Is shown in the Auditor s office that Justice Hard of Alameda should have any desire to continue in of flee Four months have passed away, and Justice Hard has not earned enough sal ary to justify him in filing a single state ment. It Is said that the ealary of the office does not produce s a month, yet the Justice maintains courtroom and is al- ways ready to do judicial business in Ala meda-
 Under the law which will soon go into effect the difficulty of having too many Judges across the estuary will be obvi- ated, as there will be but one Justice of the Peace The new law declares that in cities having a Recorder there shall not be more than one Justice of the Peace; two Justices, and the salaries of all three combined would not appear to make the office worth seeking.
 Justice Hard was appointed by the Su- perviSorS several months ago. Prior to his appointment the office had been prac- tically vacant, because the incumbent, Judge Swasey, was lying sick at Fabiola Hospital. The income from the office for the last fiscal year was unoer $40, so that if Justice Hard be making, as Is stated s a month, he is evidently doing much more business than his predecessor.
 In strong contrast to the predicament of the Alameda Justices Is the Justice Court of Oakland for which the county paid last year S4501 to the Justice and over 5000 to the constable.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

. sos BroadWy, Aug. Io- William Tucker Valentine, known to all the Alameda school children as 'Grandpa Billy" died suddenly at his home, 2252 Railroad avenue Alameda, last night. His death was great surprise to his legion of friends. He was universally known by the young men and women now married, who in their early days at tended the old Alameda School and the High School, having had charge of the building and grounds for the past thirty years, and many times delighting in ,assisting the youngsters in their amuse- ments.
 Deceased weighed 26O pounds and his death was due to fatty degeneration Of the heart. He was a native of Indiana and nearly 50 years of ago Last night when he went to his room to retire he laughed and joked, but before he disrobed he screamed for help, saying he was dy- ing; Drs. Keys and Lubbock were sum noned, but they could do nothing for him.
 For the past twenty years deceased had been tyler of Oak Grove Lodge No. N6, funeral will be held next Sunday after. noon. He was also a charter member or Citizens Hook and Ladder Truck, No: l, was Fire Chief in 1SS4 ana sldea memoef qion eF California; also one of the early mem bers of Howard Engine Company of San tTanclScO.
 . He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs F. F. Hobbs of San Francisco. Illus band and wife have lived apart for sev- eral years, and the property of the de- ceased-a lot with commodious home on it-is left to his closest and most inti- mate friend. Thomas J. White Jr., by deed, which has been recorded. Mrs. Val entine came over from San Francisco to- day and it is understood that there will be litigation over the property, which is valued at about S4000
 Mir. Valentines s mother was Mrs. Rachael Neal, who fought bitter legal battle over the estate of her sister, Mrs. Lemon, which 1t was claimed was ob- tained by Mrs Mary Smith, the famous trumpet medium" who made use of her powers over Mrs. Lemon to good ad- Vantage.
 Deceased was a -steadfast and sincere believer in Spiritualism and, according to Thomas White Jr. he received a message last Tuesday from the spiritIand warning him of his approaching death. We were seated in the front parlor," said Mir White to-day, when all at once the center table rose up from the floor and came toward Billy. Of course we knew that was a message and l inquired and learned that it came from Billy'S mother, Mrs. Neal. We did not discuss the mat ter much. but we both realized that some thing was going to happen to Billy

LIEUTENANT BUTT
 SEVERELY CENSURED
GETS A LETTER DEFINING HIS
 DUTIES.
Informed That He Does Not Own the Port of San Francisco and Must Obey Orders Without
 Question.

lieutenant James G. Butt, command ing the revenue cutter Golden Gate. re- ceived a stinging letter from Washing ton yesterday which appears to settle the question as to whether MT. Butt Is sub feet to orders from the customs officials or not.
 Collector Jackson, Surveyor Spear and Chief Deputy Chauncey St. John have had frequent passages at arms with the commander of the cutter. They were of the opinion that 1t was for the use Of the customs service, while MT. Butt held that 1t was for the use of the service subject to certain rules laid down by him, and he accordingly took orders when the orders suited him. This caused so many clashes that he was finally allowed to have his own way, but complaints were nevertheless sent to Washington. Tn re- turn Lieutenant Butt received the fol- lowing letter, which he will probably have framed and placed where all may read 1t:
 Treasury Department Office of Secretary,
 Washington, D. C.. Aug. IS. 1898.
 Lieutenant James G: Butt R. c. S, Com mand!ng U S. s. Golden Gate-Sir: Herewith are transmitted four letters received from the collector of customs at San Francisco. You will at once submit a full explanation, ,. as to written instructions given you under date of April 13. 1S9s In the meantime and from and after the receipt hereof you will comply with all instructions given you in person or In writ ing by the collector of customs. If in the future you have any doubt as to your duty un- der the laws and regulations of the revenue cutter service, you will ask for written orders in the premises, obey the same without ques- tion and then, If you have protest to make, submit the same to the department, with full explanation.
 You are reminded that much complaint has been made against you by the collector because of your manner of performing duties com mander of the Golden Gate. There Is no pos- sfble reason for past existing friction as between your command and the chief customs officer in whose district you serving, and you are admonished that there must be no more of it. You, therefore, will govern your self with view to rendering all possible aid 10 the customs authorities and you will be careful to work in harmony with the collector to this end. w. B. HOWELL,
 Assistant Secretary
 Many instances of Lieutenant Butts ignoring the orders of the Collector and Surveyor of the Port are related, one of which is that when recently ordered to follow a steamer outside the heads to prevent smuggled opium being passed from the ship to a row boat Lieutenant Butt refused to do so, saying that it would do no good and waste too much coal AS a result the vessel got away and 1t Is believed that the opium which the officers vainly searched for was thrown overheard and picked up by 'bay pirates" who work hand in glove with the members of the crew.
