PRESIDENT ROWE TALKS OF
MALFEASANCE.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

SO6 broadway, May 70.
Mayor Snow and 1s two associates on
the Board of Works have neglected to
obey an order of the Council and much
Indignation has resulted. On May 16,
which was several days before the open
ing of the Christian Endeavor convention,
Councilman Stetson secured the passage
OF a resolution authorizing the Board of
Works, which is the servant Of the City
Council, Ito repair and paint the City
Hall steps at cost not to exceed $50
Mr.. Stetson made very lengthy speech
in support of his resolution. He called at
tention to the horrible condition of the
cnly entrance to the City Hall and to the
fact that thousands Of Endeavorers were
about to visit this city and that 1t would
be disgraceful for them to gaze upon the
municipal barn. Having enlarged upon
the fearful condition of affairs regarding
the front steps of the City Hall Mr.. Stet-
son secured the passage of his resolution.
Mr.. Girard and Mr.. Cuvellier went into
Mysteries over the necessity of at once
beautifying the city and Of impressing the
visiting hosts with the magnificent ap-
pearance of the City Hall that would re-
suit If only the steps were painted.
The resolution next morning was duly
sent to the Board of Works by City Clerk
Tompkins. So far no attention has been
paid to it.
The city has been disgraced.. Thousands
of Endeavorers have gone forth talking of
nothing but the disgraceful condition of
those City Hall steps The steps are not
even yet painted, and President Rowe of
the Council declares that the Mayor, City
Engineer and the City Attorney should be
deemed guilty of malfcasance in office and
be made to pay the deficit in the salary
fund as the amount of damage the city
has sustained by reason of the bad i'm
preston created by the unpainted steps.
Mayor Snow says that TO indict him for
malfeasance is rather premature. The
resolution is ambiguous and left the Board
of Works in a quandary. 1t does not Of
ficially specify that any particular color
shall be used. Mr.. Clement wanted them
green; City Attorney Dow preferred blue;
while the Mayor believed that deep black
would be more appropriate, and as no two
votes could be obtained for any one color
the resolution is to be sent back to the
Council for further details
1t is probable that the steps may be
painted before the winter rains set in.

Point Lobos Improvement Club Goes
on Record for Square Dealings.

At a meeting of the Point Lobos I'm
provement Club, in addition to other mat
ters considered by that organization of
public Importance the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the teachers of the School Depart
rnent have been deprived Of their November and
December salaries through a deficiency in the
funds set apart to meet said demands and as
II has been clearly shown that said deficiency
was made possible by the bad management Of
the late Board of Education, said board being
duly elected by the people of San Francisco
and by virtue of their election authorized to
act as servants of the people in conducting the
business of the School Department; and
whereas the teachers were employees of the
CITY through the said Board sf Education. and
az employees they recognized the authority of
said board and obeyed every order and per-
formed all work assigned TO them by said
board in a proper manner; therefore 1t is but
just and proper that they should be compen-
sated for their labors. and that the taxpayers
are directly responsible for the debt. There

CAPT. WARREN's STATEMENT.
First California Boys Strike Their
Officer Through the Papers.

There is another dish of libel being
served up by an evening paper which has
Tor its object the besmirching of Captain
Frank Warren of the First California
Volunteers. He is accused of i'll treating
his men. and to back up the statement
there is a letter purporting to have been
signed by a number of the members of
his company which deals in handfuls of
mud and reckless generalities.
There seems to be some one who has
a grudge against me-" said Captain War
Ten in commenting on the letter, but
why these charges were not made
against me when l was out in Manila /
can't understand. They could there have
GERS, and they would have been set right.
They certainly should not have been
made to any newspaper before complaint
had been made to the proper authorities.
My company was a well drilled, well
disciplined body of men all the time
was in Manila. When Captain Birken-
heimer, of the regular army, inspector
general of the division, inspected the
regiment he mentioned four companies
as being worthy Of special mention for
one of those companies. Discipline is
something that is due almost entirely to
the officers; and my command would
never have won any distinction in that
line had j treated the men as this letter
and others say did. Had they COM
planned about me they could have had
me censured or at least warned by my
SuperiOrs if anything of the kind could
truthfully be brought against me. and /
see no reason why they have neglected
10 take the steps provided by the service
and have seen fit 10 assail me. in the
newspapers. It looks as If their com
plant was one they feared could not
stand an investigation.
LAS 10 this letter, / don't know exactly
what to make of it. Among those names
there are several which belong to men
who We're on the best of terms with me
when I left last December. They GER
tainly have suffered no injustice from
me since then, for ! have not been near
them. I can't see what has changed their
opinion. There were several men who
had to be disciplined and I suppose they
are at the bottom of the trouble: That
they had to be punished was no fault of
mine, and it is perhaps because they
were made examples of that the com
pany attained a position where it Gould
be properly commended by the inspector
general. My company was one of the
best of the regiment; it is foolish to sup
pose it could have been so unless I had
the respect of the men or if had treated
them in any way other than the way an
officer should treat the rank and file un-
der him
