The Bonds of Edward
Brooks Worthless.
A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
ONE OF THE SURETIEs WILL BE
CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
The Police Will Insist That Clerks
of Police Courts Must Not Ac-
cept Bonds in Felony
Cases.

The suspicion of the Police Department
that the $4,000 bonds accepted by Clerk
Kelly of Judge Granam's court for the
release of Edward Brooks, alias Aus
tralian Eddie" the notorious pickpocket,
last Friday night were practically worth
less, has been verified.
Bond Inspector Newman examined the
bonds yesterday and reported that one OF
the bondsmen, NJ. c. Hayes, is not worth
cent. Hayes is an eX-pOliceman, and
since then has been professional bonds
man. About a year ago he was one of the
Sureties on bond given for the release Of
Margaret Stevens, and it was declared
forfeited. When the attorneys went TO
collect on the bond they found that the
property, 16 Lapidge street, on which
Hayes qualified had been transferred 10
his wife, and he owned no other property.
He qualified on the same property in
Brooks bond. The other bondsman is J.
McAran, who qualities on property on
Union street which is not on the assess
ment roll Newman says he understands
that McAran has other property in the
city and il is possible that a mistake was
made in describing the UniOn-street prop
point.
As a result Of his investigation Newman
will lay the matter before the Grand Jury
with the object of having Hayes indicted
for perjury, and giving Clerk Kelly an
opportunity of explaining his reasons for
accepting such bond. The police are
satisfied that Brooks has left the city as
he knew that the three charges against
him would be. proved, the evidence in
each case having been found in his pos
session when arrested by Detective T. B.
Gibson.
Captain Seymour. in speaking of the
case yesterday, said: II intend 10 ask the
Police Judges to pass an order that no
bonds in felony cases be accepted by their
clerks. 1t is time that some more rigid
system was adopted in the taking of
bonds for the release of men charged
with a felony, and the power TO do so
should not be in the hands Of the clerk
of the court, but solely in the hands Of
the Judge, and then there would be a re-
sponsibility upon the shoulders of men
who are supposed TO mete out justice.
This man Brooks saw that We had him
cornered, and it is too bad that after ar
resting him our efforts TO punish him
should be frustrated by the acceptance of
worthless bonds for his release.
1.-THE method of accepting bonds is too
lax, anyhow. Take the case of Cassius
Blackman, the police officer arrested for
grand larceny. He got out on worthless
bonds and has not since been heard of.
John Shaughnessy, who shot down a man
in the City Hall, was released on worth
less bonds, but fortunately he was arrest
ed on a bench warrant before he left
town, If that was his intention"

TEACHERS AND THEIR salaries

IRON the mouth OF the wisest teacher that ever
instructed humanity in the ways OF justice we
have the injunction, The workman is worthy
OF his hire a statement whose justice is so ap-
parent hardly needs the sanction OF divine authority
to commend It to men, Nevertheless it is not always
acted upon by either individuals or communities.
There are times when the worker after having earned
his hire by toll has to get it by fighting.
Il IS in some such situation as that the
teachers employed in the public schools OF this city
find themselves at present. They have performed
the work allotted to them. No objection is made
anywhere to the value OF their services 1t is con-
ceded that they taught with due diligence and
effectiveness and that the pupils OF the schools have
profted by their instruction. Their pay, however,
has been withheld from them for months, and they
have had to apply to the courts for redress
1t is not right that the innocent should be made to
suffer the consequences OF the wrong OF Others II
San Francisco elected to the Board of Education in
competent or dishonest men, who wasted the funds OF
the schools, and then neglected to Gust them from
office when their wasteulness was known, it is upon
the whole city the penalty OF the waste should fall
It is unfair to impose the burden upon the teachers,
who did not elect the School Board nor maintain if
in office.
Under our law the worker is very Justly given a
lien upon the product of his work as security for his
wages, and the lien stands valid against all other
claims whatever The school teachers have no such
lien upon the of the city, but the Justice OF
their claim is strong as that of any mechanic
against the house he has helped to build
When the teacher is not paid the community is dis
graced It is a scandal that city so rich as San
Francisco cannot or will not pay for work performed
IN her service The court in which redress has been
sought ought not to make unnecessary delay in de-
termlning the matter. The workman is not only
worthy OF his hire but is entitled to receive it before
ne dies either OF old age or starvation

Return of the Crack California
Wheelman.

Harry F. Terrill, one of the famous
Terrill brothers, the crack professional
bicyclists of California, returned home
yesterday, after most successful season
in the East, and spent last evening among
his friends at the Bay City Wheelmen's
clubhouse.
Terrill said he came back because all the
racing men were out here now and there
was nothing doing in the East
His best performance while away, and
what stamped him as the equal if not
superior of many of the Eastern cracks
was his defeat of Jay Eaton, commonly
called the Indoor king" in two straight
heats of a mile match race in New York
on an indoor track, so that he practically
defeated the king at his own game.
Terrill travelled with Fournier and his
gasoline tricycle. for while, pacing match
races. He will ride out here If there is a
chance for him. He is in splendid condi-
ton.

The Supreme Court has decided against
Behrend Joost in Joost's action against
Sanford Bennett, receiver of the San
Mateo and San Francisco Railway, before
that line became the property Of the pres
ent owners. Joost sued Bennett for $1,000
for services rendered. said services con-
sisting of giving advice in some thirty
1--WE or more cases against tie company
and in lighting against a proposition to
annul the company's franchise. In addi-
ton to this Mr.. Joost wanted $3.50 for the
rental Of a number of lots that had been
used by the company. All of these al
legged services were rendered during the
eighteen months between September, 1894
and March, 1895. In the lower court Mr.
Joost lost his case. the Judge deciding
that at the time mentioned he was hold
ing the position of president of the COM
pany and that there were no services that
he could render the receiver that he
should charge for. He was as much inter-
ested as any of the people who had placed
him in Office. This judgment was affirm
ed by the higher court
