UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
He Was Found on the Sidewalk With
His Skull Fractured and I'm

An unknown man was brought to the
Receiving Hospital yesterday with a frac-
tured skull. He died shortly after arriv-
ing there and was taken to the Morgue.
The man was seen by the motorman of
the Sixteenth street electric car on its
home run at 12:45 p. m. lying on the side
walk at Bryant avenue and Sixteenth
street. When the car arrived at Folsom
street the motorman informed officers T.
Council and G. Barnes of the mans condi-
ton; the officers found him as described
and rang in for the patrol wagon. officer
c. II. Taylor accompanied the wagon and
brought the man to the Seventeenth
street station, where 1t was discovered
that he was partly unconscious and Sc
verely injured in the front part of the
head. Captain Gillin ordered his removal

~ OvERNOR GAGE, accompanied by
his wife, arrived in the city yes
terday from Yosemite Valley. At
the Palace Hotel during the afternoon
and evening he saw several politicians,
among them D. NJ. Burns and Frank
Mclaughlin.
Speaking Of future appointments the
Governor remarked that the Code Com
mission and Labor Commission were
about the only places remaining on the
list. He did not say when the appoint
1nents in this respect would be an
nounced, but indicated that they would
not be made before his return to Sacra-
mento as he had no blank commissions
with him.
In referring to his Yosemite trip, he
spoke of his early visits to the valley
and his familiarity with that region of
the Sierra .Nevadas. He mentioned that
he did not visit the valley on his recent
trip for pleasure. Official duties required
his presence at the annual meeting of
the Board of Yosemite Commissioners.
Responding to inquiries concerning
the vacancy on the Board of Regents,
caused by the death of Timothy Guy
Phelps, the Governor said he had given
no thought to the subject On this
topic he added: When the proper time
comes will name a man for this i'm
portant office. I appreciate the respon-
sibilities of the trust and will look over
the whole State to find the best man for
the position. ] may discover that some
prominent section of California is with
out adequate representation on the
Board of Regents. I will listen TO sug-
gestions. but Will use my own judgment
in the selection of a man for the place
OF course I have used my own judg-
ment in regard to appointments hith-
erto made but in this particular case
! intend to look over the State to find a
Regent acceptable in every respect"
The Call is informed that Governor
Gage, on several occasions recently
spoke Of resigning from the office of
Chief Executive of California. He is re-
ported as having said in confidence to
one Of his warmest personal friends and
closest political advisers: II am sick
and tired of this constant pulling and
hauling and have made up my mind to
Quit this political business and go back
10 the practice of law in Los Angeles
and the quiet of my home life on the
ranch, I am utterly Disguised with poll
tics. political bosses and place-hunters.
I am ready to give up the job and let
Uncle Jake Neff run the machine for
The rest of the term
It is said that the Governor on more
than one occasion expressed a deter
mination to retire to private life.
At the Palace Hotel last evening the
Governor was asked if the story was
straight that he intended to resign.
The inquiry seemed to afford him
amusement. but he did not admit nor
deny the correctness of the report. De-
spite the fact that men pretending to
speak from inside knowledge of the
Governors intentions assert positively
that he has threatened or promised to
resign, The Call does not vouch for the

accuracy Of the report. On the other
side, the mere assertion of the Cover
nor that he would resign cannot be &C
cepted as conclusive proof that he
would not resign. All agree on the prop
osition that no one is holding him from
resigning and all admit that the report
of his resignation fails to produce a
protest against the Executives exercise
of that privilege.
General Barnes has withdrawn from
the contest for United States Senator
His example has been emulated by u.
6. Grant Jr Now why should Governor
Gage hesitate to make a sacrifice Tor
the peace and good of the common
wealth? Lieutenant Governor Neff is In
good form, ready and perhaps willing
to grasp the helm of state. Should he
get discouraged or fatigued Thomas
Flint Jr., President of the Senate, is
next in line and eager for a chance to
acquire distinction.
Dull people, who fancy that money is
everything in this world and fame moth
ing. argue that Gage will not resign
because the law office is doing better
in Sacramento from a pecuniary point
geles. For instance, the Governor draws
a salary of $4,000 per annum; Private
Secretary Foley receives $4,000 year;
Daniel Kavane, secretary of the Board
of Examiners, gets $4,000; Mr.. Fox, the
stenographer, $500. and the porter from
the law office gets $1,000. Aside from the
foregoing the Governor has secret
service fund of $4,000 per annum. The
amount drawn from the public treasury
is therefore $2O,S00 per annum. In four
years the sum will reach $50, 200.
Old timers in the law and veterans in
the political arena figure that it would
not be prudent for the Governor to re-
sign. They are willing to wager that
the story Of his resignation is a canard.
The story comes to The Call that
Gage would resign if Burns and Herrin
were not urging him to hold on TO the
reins Of authority, so as to enable them
to control appointments in the future.

Some Claim That Superintendent
Roberts Is Trying to Place the
Contracts Outside the
State

The awarding of the contract for the
furnishing of granite for the new San
Francisco Postoffice has caused great
anxiety among local quarry owners. a
dispatch from the East received yesterday
announced that Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Taylor will probably let the
contract for Maine granite, following the
report sent the department by Superin-
tendent of Construction Roberts, who is
now in this city.
To prevent such selection and the boy
cotting of the California product, the fol-
lowing telegram was sent yesterday to
the supervising architect of the treasury
at Washington by several of the prom
inent local trade associations. 1t is DIS
follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13, 1899.
To the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury, Washington, ID. C.-The fol-
lowing commercial bodies of San Fran
cisco respectfully urge that the San
Francisco Postoffice be constructed of
California granite, which is unques-
tionably equal to any granite in the
world, and also on the ground that
California granite is the cheapest
under consideration. Signed:

Superintendent Roberts is accused by
many of being too hasty in his Judgment
of the quality of California granite 1t
is said that in an investigation of the
Rocklin quarries he did not give full time
and attention to his examination and sent
a report to the Treasury Department
that 1000 cubic feet per week was the
utmost possible output of these quarries
and that 1000 cubic feet was necessary.
Roberts, in a conversation with Colonel
