At last nights meeting of the board
OF trade the question OF street repairs
was threshed over again and. Incl
dentally, those responsible for the de-
lay in this work were treated in
similar manner, figuratlvely speaking.
The matter was brought up by a
question from Mr. Levy, addressed to
President Keller as to the present
status of the street repair contract.
Mr.. Keller, who was the father OF the
present asphalt repair ordinance, and
who above all others has given this
matter the most earnest attention, re-
sponded at length reviewing the his
tory OF the movement and explaining
the tangle in which the ordinance finds
itself by reason of cx-Mayor Ballcys
action in Vetoing the appropriation to
meet the contract.
1t was very singular, Mr.. Keller said,
that Mayor Bailey should have vetoed
the appropriation item after signing
the pave repair resolution, ordinance
and contract. There il question
however. as to the legality of his veto,
Mr.. Keller went on to say, and this
question is likely to be adjudicated this
week. Two or three of the best attor-
ncys in the city have given opinions
on the matter and all argue that the
veto is not effective as the law states
clearly that every veto must be re-
viewed by councils and this veto was
not reviewed, the mayor having held
off his AK until after councils were
dead. If the opinion of these attorneys
goes for aught-and one of them is
from ex-Justice Hand-the streets will
soon be repaired.

owner to come here; that the board
was on record as being opposed to Of

PRICE Is REASONABLE

Mr., Keller then dealt briefly with
the cost of the repairs and when he
had concluded expressions were gener-
al to the effect that the city was not
only not going to be swindled but was
getting a bargain. Among the things
that Mr.. Keller pointed out was that
Wilkes Barre, with its own asphalt
plant, pays $4,000 a mile for repairs,
and that in Buffalo n contract has Just
been executed that is 25 per cent. high
er than the Scranton contract.
Secretary Atherton set afoot move
ment to have a Scranton exhibit at the
Philadelphia Industrial exposition to
be held between Sept. IA and Nov. 80.
The matter was referred to the manu-
facturers' committee, together with the
question of sending delegates to repre-
Manufacturers, to be held in conjunc-
ton with the exposition.
Valentine Bliss, the North End Silk
manufacturer, made a protest to the
board against giving encouragement to
the KlotZ Silk company of Carbondale,
moving it's plant here. Mr.. Klotz, he
said, was a disturber. and in view of
the fact that the silk manufacturers
here were living in the most friendly
| relations and that there were about all
the silk mills here, now, that the city
can well stand, it would not be to the
best interests of the trade or the city
to bring the KlotZ mill here.
Mr.. KlOtz established a branch mill
in the Mears' building some time ago,
Mr.. Bliss stated, and upset a number
Of the mills in the city by taking away
its skilled employees for time with an
offer of higher wages and then when
new girls had been broken in, letting
the old ones go. In contrast with this
sort Of dealing, Mr.. Bliss pointed out
that the Scranton mill owners loan
skilled operators to one another IN an
emergency.

FROM HIGH SOURCE

GOOD WORDS.
Though the Men Are Suffering From

They Are Making No
Complaint.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, March 4.-Walter S.
camp on the Governors staff, writing
from Manila, has reported to Adjutant
General Peeler with reference to the
condition of the National Guard of Cal
ifornia on duty in the Philippines.
The colonel says the California Vol
unteers have made themselves conspic-
uous by gallantry, by their position al
ways in the front and by good discipline
and good spirit. He quotes Captain W.
general, Eighth Army Corps, as having
ance of the troops were fine. The colo
mel reports the First Californians as ap-
pearing exceedingly we'll at the inspec-
ton, in their khaki uniforms. The re-
port further states:
I think that the officers and men would
at any time be glad to receive sum
mons. Their families, business interests
and a natural desire to exchange the in
conveniences which they meet with here
for the pleasures of home, would explain
this | doubt if any interrogation would
elicit a request to this effect. The health,
quarters and living, at present, are as
good as it is possible to expect, and the
prospect of winning new glories and a
talk of returning. However, the hot sea-
son is coming on, and it will go hard with
our men in camp, or in the field, ana,
therefore, if any action is proposed IN
this matter, it should be settled immedl-
ately so as to avoid the unfaVorable con-
dftions here and the discomforts attend
ant upon travel on the transports In not
weather and during the typhoon season.

AS solace there has now come to these
men the knowledge that Mr.. Hanna S
star gained experience in the art of
rising and setting gracefully in the
cities of Stockton and Santa Rosa,
where there are several merchants who
would delight to interview him on other
subjects than what it is like to be the
blood relation of distinguished states
man.
c. B. Hanna came to San Rafael in
the latter part of last October. He was
a large, welI-built man, of distinguished
presence and pleasing personality. In
a quiet and unaSSuming manner he in
formed leading citizens that ne was
cousin of Mark Hanna and supplied
them with documentary proof of his
statements in the shape of several let
ters. He announced his intention to
make his future abode in the realm of
society and was received with open
arms. The weekly papers gave notice
of his arrival and notified the public
Of the honor that had been voluntarily
accorded the town. Not a merchant
was there who did not jump at the op-
portunity to oblige the new resident
and most of them were privileged in
that respect.
The first thing Mr.. Hanna did was to
rent a beautiful cottage on Petaluma
avenue. which he furnished lavishly
In a short time a daughter named Mrs
Cherry and her husband came to live
with him.
Mr.. Hanna opened an account with
several of the leading merchants and
deepened the excellent impression he
had made at first by calling around
and settling accounts punctuaIly on the
1st Of the month. He did this once, and
If the practice had been kept UP there
would have been no trouble but acl
cording to the dealers themselves it
wasn't.
AS time rolled on and Mr.. Hanna s
bills increased some of his creditors
grew a little bit uneasy. Among them
were c. Grosjean & Co., who wrote to
friends in Santa Rosa TO learn of the
previous standing of their debtor. A
prominent merchant of Santa Rosa,
George King, answered the inquiry and
declared Mr.. Hanna was dead beat"
and had left there several hundred dol
lars in debt. Hanna was further char
acteriZed as a slippery one" and the
firm was told to keep an eye on him. -
About the same time Marshal John
Healy received a letter from another
Santa Rosa merchant, Edward Carter,
who said Hanna left there owing nearly
$500. Healy was requested to put
everybody on or somebody would get
left" He informed Frey & Co, whole
sale liquor dealers and creditors of the
statesman's cousin, of the cOmmunica-
ton. Messrs. Frey and Grosjean there
upon drew the line at further credit and
the fun began.
Grosjean intimated that he wanted
his money and kept so persistently after
it that he got all but a small amount.
Frey was not so fortunate and bewails
the loss of about $50. Mrs. Saunders,
who rented Hanna her cottage, also got
the coin fever, and after deal of per
suasion got the major portion of what
was coming to her from him. 1t is as
serted that there are other creditors
who were not so fortunate.
Last Monday evening Hanna's furni-
ture was packed and expressed 10 the
broad gauge depot, where it was stored
on account of a failure of the owner
to prepay the freightage. Mr.. Hanna.
his daughter and her husband then
departed without the friendly cere-
