SCHOOL CONTRACTORS
WANT THEIR MONEY
THEY FILE CLAIMS AGAINST
THE DEPARTMENT.
Contend That Desks and Other Sup
plies Have Been Distributed
and Used.

Another claim for sl4Oo was filed yester-
day with the Board of Education by
Weber * Co. for samples of furni-
ture, valued at $1,000, which the firm fur
nished the School Department a few
months ago. This claim has never been
paid because the contract was awarded
contrary 10 the rules of the board.
1t has been the custom for samples of
goods TO remain in the storeroom Of the
department so that comparisons could be
made when the supplies were furnished.
The contention in this instance is raised
by the firm that the desks, etc, furnished
as samples have been distributed among
various schools and have been used by
the department for some months. The
contractors, believing that they will never
be paid for the original claim of $4,000.
now present a bill for the samples in the
hope that they will receive at least part
of what they regard as due them.
Chairman Holbrook of the finance
committee of the Board of Education
visited Auditor Wells yesterday morning
regarding the payment of other miscel-
laneous claims To the amount Of $500.
which were incurred ia June Of the last
fiscal year and never paid. Mr.. Holbrook
stated that there would be a surplus of
at least $4,000 in the school funds which
might be applied to the payment of these
claims. The Auditor could not see his
way clear TO sign the demands as the
law specifically provides that If there is
a surplus in one fiscal year II must be car
ried over until the next, so the matter
Will remain in allegiance.

no likelihood Of the plague finding lodg-
ment here, but still there are many Ha-
waiian rats that have made a home on
the steamer and they have all to be
caught and sacrificed before the vessel
will be allowed to dock.
Rats are said 10 be the most prolific
means of spreading the plague. They
carry the germs from port TO port and
in this way the dread disease reaches the
most carefully guarded harbors. There is
no fear that the rats on the Centennial
will carry any plague into San Francisco,
every one OF the rodents Will be eX-
terminated. This operation is expected 70
be performed thoroughly by to-day and
the transport will come TO the wharf some
time this afternoon.

XI.-ALBERT GALLATIN.
BY JAMES ALBERT WOODBURY..


BY JAMES ALBERT WOODBURY..
PHI. ID.
america has much cause for gratitude
10 great men of foreign birth. In our
public life during our century OF nation
ality such men have borne a notable and
worthy part. With the exception of Alex
ander Hamilton no one of our foreign-born
citizens has rendered greater service 10
the republic or done more to promote it's
honor and glory than Albert Gallatln. His
is name that Americans OF all parties
and classes would do well 10 honor.
Birth and Early Life.
Gallatin was born in Geneva, Switzer-
land, January 90 1861. He died in Astoria.
Long Island, August u, 1919 in his eighty
eighth year During this long life he was
for more than forty years-from 1859 70
1S49-almost continuously in the public
service. In this period of two score years
l shall notice especially three aspects OF
his public career
l. AS a commoner in the House OF Represent
atives from 1885 10 1901
2 AS Finance Minister to the President
from 1901 10 1913
g. As a diplomat. as a peace negotiator at
Client in 1914. and as an ambassador 70 France
and England from 1915 10 1927.
OF these three distinct periods Of Gala
tins life his biographer, John Austin Ste
vens. says:
BY his political life Mr.. Galatin acquired an
American reputation; by his management Of
the finances OF the United States he placed him
self among the first OF political economists or
the day and by his mastery conduct OF the
treaty OF Ghent he showed himself the equal OF
the best European statesmen on their own Pc
culiar ground OF diplomacy
A few words as to the life Of our states
man before his entrance upon the arena
of national politics. Gallatin was educated
at the University OF Geneva where he
graduated in 1779. In 1850 he emigrated 10
the United States. He engaged I'm trade
for a year in Maine, and for two years he
taught the French language in Harvard
