ANOTHER TANGLE IN
THE BATEMANS' AFFAIRS
AUDITOR WELLS WILL MAKE
NO MORE PAYMENTS.

Another ENHANCEMENT, this one amount
ing to $4,000 49, has developed in
the already badly complicated affairs of
the new Hall of Justice. During the last
two weeks suits, injunctions and notices
of money due, against the Bateman
Bros. the contractors, have been piling
up on the desks of Auditor Wells and
Chief Clerk Russell of the Board of Su-
pervisors, and neither of those officials
at the present day.
Yesterday the Pacific Rolling Mills
Company sent Attorney w. S. Goodfel-
low to the Auditor to notify him to
pay out no moneys to any of the credi-
tors of the Batemans until It's claim of
$4,000 79 had been satisfied. To back its
notification, Attorney Goodfellow dis
played an assignment made to the COM
pany by the Batemans under date of
August is, 1897, of all moneys due the con-
tractors from the city up to the amount
for structural steel at 312 cents per pound.
That assignment apparently gives the
Pacific Rolling Mills first call on all the
cash the Bateman Bros. have coming
and Auditor Wells will refuse to make
any payments until the matter has been
settled by the courts or by agreement
between the attorneys for the different
parties
The claim of Cahill & Hall for sl3, 400
which Bateman Bros. enjoined the Audi
tor, was compromised, and yesterday Mr.
Wells made the first payment due,
amounting to S4500

CHANGE IN APPOINTMENT
OF VOLUNTEER OFFICERS

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-The War
Department issued a general order in re-
gard to the examination of officers of the
volunteer army. an important provision
of which is that vacancies of second
leutenants are to be filled by promotion
from the ranks of the regiments In which
they occur. The order, which has been
communicated TO the commanding Off
GERS of all the volunteer regiments, says:
Whenever an officer has been given a
fair trial and fails to demonstrate his
fitness to perform the duties of his rank
he Will be brought beforea board of Off
GERS, to be appointed by the general COM
manding a separate army, or the
military department in which his regi-
ment may be serving, on the recon-
mendation of the colonel Of the regi-
ment. The board will examine into and
report upon the qualifications of the Off
Ger to discharge the duties of his office.
and its report will be forwarded with the
recommendation of the commanding gene
raj, for action by the President.
Promotions in the volunteer regi-
ments will be made within each regi-
ment and by seniority. All vacancies of
second lieutenants will be filed from the
enlisted men of the regiment on the rec
ommendation of the commanding officer.
1T is suggested that you organize
class Of non-commissioned officers in your
regiment in which those eligible may re-
ceive instruction that will fit them to per-
form the duties of commissioned officers"

GAS COMPANY
WILL SHUT OFF
CITY LIGHTS
Darkness the Rest of
the Month.
EIGHT NIGHTS OF GLOOM
NOT MONEY ENOUGH TO PAY
THE LIGHTING BILLS.
Supervisor Perrault Notifies the Com
pany That the Provisions of the
One-Twelfth Act Will Be
Obeyed.
EIGHT NIGHTS OF GLOOM
NOT MONEY ENOUGH TO PAY
THE LIGHTING BILLS.

After tonight San Francisco will be in
darkness for the remaining nights of the
month. Chairman Perrault of the Super
visors' Finance Committee received notice
to that effect yesterday, after he had sent
to the gas company communication
setting forth the determination of that
committee to obey the provisions of the
one-twelfth act.
Under the new tax levy, the figures for
which were suggested by Mayor Phelan,
adopted by the Supervisors in conformity
with their pledges to the people to keep
within the dollar limit the appropriation
for street lighting for the fiscal year
which began July l last is $A00O0. The
one-twelfth act provides for an equal
division of every appropriation for each
month in the year. This would make the
appropriation for street lighting just
$40, 900 a month.
In looking over the bills for street
lighting, Chairman Perrault discovered
that both in July and August they had
exceeded that amount. The bill for July
was S23 057 Is and that for August $20,-
$50 33. He decided at once that it was
time to notify the gas company that they
should trim their lamps accordingly.
He Immediately sent communication to
President J. B. Crockett of the San Fran
cisco Gas and Electric Company that that
company would have to get along this
month with $16,01l 49, as the difference
between that amount and the 100000 that
could be rightfully appropriated for
September under the one-twelfth act was
necessary to pay for the excess of gas
used In July and August.
The receipt of this communication
caused quite furry in the gas companys
office. A number of men were set at the
task of figuring up the gas bill to date,
and toward evening their work was COM
pleted and the figures submitted to Presi-
dent Crockett. He found that the con-
sumption of gas and electric light for
street purposes had, even at this time in
the month, nearly burned up the sixteen
thousand odd dollars, and he so wrote in
forming Chairman Perrault, adding that
under existing conditions, the company
would shut off it's supply for the present
month after tonight.
The reign of darkness will begin Satur-
day night, and for seven nights there
after there will be darkness and fog, in
which murder and arson can lurk, in
which thugs and crooks of every descrip-
ton can operate In safety, defying the
police. 1t Is a state of affairs that has
long been threatened but has never been
really expected in the fiourishing city Of
San Francisco. so prosperous that 1t is i'm
possible just now to secure skilled labor
to do the work of business and manufac-
ture on hand. People who go on the
street after dark for the remaining nights
in September do so at their own risk. In
the present unsettled condition of. the
city with it's thousands of strangers the
danger cannot be magnified. 1t exists on
every hand.
