methods in use in St. Ignatius College
At 1:30 p. m. the afternoon session opened
with an address on Correlation OF His

necessity for their contunctive teaching

x ACRAMENTO, Dec. 2-The appoint
Y ment Of Frank d. Ryan as Commits
sioner Of Public Works was an
\ j nounced late this afternoon, and in
the opinion of many well-informed
persons Mr.. Ryan occupies tonight
the rather paradoXical position ofEbaving
an important public office and at the
same time not having it.
II will be recalled that during the lat
ter part Of the term OF Edward Z. Leake,
editor of the Woodland Democrat, his
salary was withheld by the State Con-
troller pending the settlement of the legal
question as TO whether he held office by
virtue of the act OF 1898, creating the of
flee (Which act by the way, was sought
TO be amended in 1885, or whether both
acts had not expired by limitation. A de-
clsion from the Supreme Court was alb
tained, and being adverse TO the claim of
the Woodland editor. he gracefully with
drew. Later a question arose as to the
validity Of the act OF 1899, and an opinion
from the Attorney General sustained the
view that the measure signed by Gov
ernor Gage was not the one actually
passed by the Legislature.
This was the status of the case to-day
when Frank ID. Ryan was appointed Com
missioner of Public Works by the Gov
ernor The latter was not inclined TO i'll
this afternoon, remarking that he had
appointed Mr.. Ryan and that was all he
desired to say about the matter.
Mr. Ryan was seen by The Call corre-
spondent tonight. and he courteously
gave his views on the subject, saying that
The San Francisco call., 1899-12-03

1t was his belief that the new act under
which he was appointed to-day was sound
ana there would be no doubt as to his
ute TO the office. When asked about what
pollcy he intended TO follow Ryan re-
marked that the work already performed
on the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers
oy eN-Commisstoner Leake was of a char
acter approved by engineers, and he in
tended to carry IL forward to completion
and TO continue the operations Stoned
upon Leake's retirement; he would pay
particular attention TO the wingdams al
ready constructed and to the erection of
new ones, as well as to the Newtown let
tles and the cutoffs on the San joaquin
the purpose of which was to make a
shorter line and better river channel from
Stockton TO San Francisco.
The announcement of Mr. RYAN that he
intends TO perpetuate the Newtown ease
ment and continue the work already done
toward the restoration of the Sacramento
River Will be pleasing to the Sacramento
Chamoer or Commerce and to all the tax
payers OF the counties concerned in the
preservation OF river navigation. Mr.
Ryan Is regarded as embodying the ulali-
ties or a safe and intelligent officer and
the belief is general that the money re-
naming In the original appropriation OF
$3.50, 0ep will be we'll and carefully expended
under his direction.
Mr.. Ryan has held various positions of
public trust. He has represented Sacra-
mento In the Assembly. has been chief
clerk OF that House. has served three con-
Sacramento and is at present a trustee OF
the State Library. a trustee of the
Chico Normal School and a trustee OF
Sutter Fort. Mr.. Ryan Is prominent as
Native Son. being a past grand presi-
dent of the Grand Lodge OF that order.

EXECUTRIX SToRMBOUND.
Sheriff Directed to Bring Mrs. Miller
From Santa Rosa Island.

Even the elements are contributing to
the delay in the settlement of the estare
OF the late A. p. More. The matter OF
the settlement OF Mrs. Eliza NJ Mt.Ier's
annual account as administrators was
not settled yesterday owing 10 Mrs. Mil
ler's absence. In order to explain the
lady's non-appearance a letter from At
torney Storke of Los Angeles was read
TO Judge Coffey showing that she was de-
tanned at Santa Rosa Island on account
OF the storm and could not reach the
mainland for some days. Attorneys
Evans. Peterson and Booth asked the
court for a citation directing the Sher-
and convey Mrs. Miller to the court with
out delay. This action was finally or
dered and the Sheriff must brave tho
storm in obedience 10 the mandate OF the
court. All OF the attorneys expressed
a desire that the estate be distributed
and an order to this effect will probably
be made on the arrival OF Mrs Miller.

ton sent Mrs. Lowell White. president of
the club, the chief executive notified her
that he had recommended that lady doc
tors be appointed and that his recon-
mendation would undoubtedly be adopted
Inc members of the California Club are
therefore highly elated over the success
OF their efforts.
