The Finance Committee Of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday considered petit
ton OF the clerks in the bookkeeper's de-
partment OF the Tax Collectors office in
which they request that their claims be
allowed for extra services rendered both
before and after regular office hours from

The claims aggregate 1851 80, and about
a dozen clerks desire the extra compen-
sation in sums ranging from $a 50 to Sl25.
Bookkeeper Mcguire appeared before
the committee and stated that during the
busy time in the Tax Collectors office
he and his assistants were obliged TO
work from o'clock in the morning until
IL O'Clock at night in addition to Sundays
and holidays. On the day previous to the

SUIT TO PREVENT
SEATING OF CLARK
Said to Have Violated
Election Laws.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Dec 22.-William H
Bradley, former captain OF police but
now engaged in the hack business, to-day
brought a formal accusation against
Mayor-elect Clark. charging him with
several violations of the purity OF cleo
tions law.
Among other things II is alleged that A.
p. Booth. Clark's business partner, while
acting for the candidate. paid the contest
ant 500 for the use of two hacks on cleo
ton day, which item does not appear in
his official statement. The contestant de-
clares his belief that Clark paid out $500
In hire for hacks used on election day,
which is not set forth in the official state
ment filed by the candidate. The contest
ant further alleges that Clark, for the
purpose of aiding his election as Mayor
paid TO William NJ. Sims, chairman of the
City Republican Committee, the sum of
$500, and that for the same purpose Sims
PAID TO Il. w. Cavanaugh $500 of the said
sum, 10 Frank Daroux $400 and TO B. w
Cavanaugh, for Frank Farrar, $780, and
that none Of these sums appear in the off,
cial statement. II is further averred. on
information and belief, that defendant
publication the record Of Clark's oppo-
nent, r. ID. Stephens, in the. Legislature
for which Davis received 500, which does
not appear in the statement. II is alleged
also that defendant paid George p Roys-
ter $50 and offered him a position in the
event Of his election: that Wilbur r
Smith was also offered a position. con-
trary TO the provisions of the purity of
elections law.
Bradley asks that Clark's election be set
aside and his certificate Cancelled. Judge
Johnson has set the matter for January
3. and a number of witnesses. have been
subpenaed.
William II. Sims strenuously denies that
he received from Clark the sum mem
TONED and asserts that $500 was all that
was contributed by the candidate to the
campaign fund. Cavanaugh and naroux
refuse TO talk
An effort was made this evening TO see
Clark, but it was learned that he was out
of town.

of Administration on His Estate.

Mrs. Ida L. Carson made application
yesterday for letters of administration

The deceased left a will, but as IL is

a portion of the date being printed, II is
void, and hence the estate must be ad-
minstered as though the deceased had
died intestate. In his will the deceased
pastor says:
have struggled hard all my life TO make
both happy and comfortable those dependent
upon me, and 70 do my duty as a Christian min
lister. both 10 God and the people he hath per-
mitted me 20 save. / have the best and the

any man. and love her with all the tenderness
and affection Of a heart that loves even to the
death. / have son whom love as my own
life, and who. trust, will make q noble useful
man; and how wish might be able to provide
more literally for both OF them!
