DANcoNA's ELIGIBILITY.
Willing to Waive His University
Fees to Be Supervisor.

A story has gained currency that under
a provision of the new charter there is a
question touching the eligibility OF DR..
A. A d Ancona. superintendent, to serve
in that capacity on account OF his connec-
ton with the State University OF Califor-
MIA
The provision declares that any person
holding a salaried office under the city
and county, whether by election or ap-
pointment, who shall, during his term of
office, hold or retain any other salaried
States or of this State shall be deemed TO
have thereby vacated the office held by
him under the city and county.
DR.. q Ancona, when seen last night by
a Call reporter, said that he did not con-
slider himself a salaried officer Of the
State. THE Legislature appropriates a
certain amount of money to defFay the
expenses Of the University of California,
of which l am a medical examiner, said
the doctor, and the Regents pay me 81
for each examination l make of students
entering the university to test their fit
ness TO pass for a course Of physical Gull
ture. The fee is paid to me not as a sal
aired professor but as a practitioner.
Il do not wish TO evade the spirit Of the
law, and now that l have been elected
Supervisor it is my ambition to serve the
people in the right way and not in any
manner violate any provision of the char
ter. l am willing If necessary to waive
my fees, which | do not consider a salary,
in order TO avoid technicalities. However.
l Will consult my attorney, and II he con-
sders It necessary that ] should give up
my position at the university In order to
qualify as a Supervisor of San Francisco

undivided services. -

$50 a. m. to D. m. there will be six

Better service. both by faster time and

for Folsom street. The travel over this
line since the trolley service was extend
ed along the San Bruno road justifies a
better service than formerly.

Chinese dogs are taught to subsist
upon boiled rice with little milk, and
become so placid that they Will not

This seems to demonstrate the fact
that a. largely vegetable diet inclines

the contrary, a diet composed largely
of flesh is ultimately irritating, par
ticularly to one confined mostly to men
tai work.
Grape-Nuts was placed on the mar.

a concentrated nourishing food con-
tanning In its makeup minute particles
of phosphate Of potash obtained from
the field grains This when combined
as nature combines It in the human
body with albumen, makes the gray

ters; therefore, the use Of Crane Nuts
supplies the brain worker with steady
renewal of the daily losses from his
employment. Grape Nuts do huiId

Teachers Back Salaries.

In reply to a communication sent by
F. H. Clark, chairman of the committee
for collection Of teachers salary claims.
as to when the Stanford collateral inheri-
lance tax would be available for the pay
ment of teachers demands for Novem-
Der and December, 1898. Treasurer Tru-
man says in reply:
II desire to say that this office has no
separate fund into which the Inheritance
tax is paid in an identified shape as school
funds. The money which has been re-
ceived from the Stanford estate, when it
reaches this office. will have been inter-
mingled with the State property tax, poll
tax, interest and other funds available
for State purposes. 1t will be impossible
to ascertain what portion of 1t is STAN
ford money. Consequently unless the
money from the State comes to this Of
fee this year in a different form than in
the past we will have no funds from that
source which we can apply to the salaries

II collect an assigned claim for tolls al
legged 50 be due plaintiffs assignor for
the passage OF animals and vehicles over
. county highway. The lower court found
the road in question to be a free public
highway. The authority to collect tolls
is found IN the statutes and Supervisors
may authorize such collection whenever
n their judgment the expense necessary
TO operate and maintain such a road is
too great TO jus fy the county in keeping
It in condition. C.
Such a right o.. license was granted IN
this case and Scott lost in the lower court
The higher court reversed the motion for
new trial upon the ground that the
records Of the Supervisors Of Placer Coun-
y failed TO show that the board had re-
ccived evidence and made such determine
ton. In fact the records failed to show
that the road was a free public highway
and one so fatally. defective that the
plaintiff cannot collect the tolls claimed
