SUSTAIN THE MAYORS VETO.
Furnishing of the Hall of Justice
Postponed for Some Time.

The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors met yesterday for the first
time. Supervisors Holland, Collins and
Attridge of the committee and Supervisor
Perrault of the Finance Committee at
tended. Many matters of minor import
ance in regard to sewer and street work
were deferred for week, pending further
inquiry.
The committee considered the Mayors
veto of the resolution appropriating SIT 900
for furnishing the Hall of Justice on
Kearny street. After some discussion, it
was determined to report the veto back
and to recommend to the board that it be
sustained. According to ex-Auditor Brod-
erick, the original appropriation having
been exhausted, no more money can be
spent on the new building without legis-
lative action. If this be the correct view
of the situation it will be necessary for
the Legislature to pass an enabling act
before the building can be furnished and
ready for occupancy by the police and
other departments.
The matter is where 1t was some months
since, and the contracts must be read
vertised by the board If it finds it has the
legal right to apportion the necessary
funds.

FIRE IN THE CITY HALL.
A Careless Deputy in the County
Clerks Office Causes a Com
motion

For about an hour yesterday morning
there was considerable excitement on the
first floor and basement of the City Hall.
caused by an alarm of fire. Smoke was
seen issuing through a chimney in the
County Clerks office, and it was thought
that one Of the rooms underneath was on
fire.
Chief Sullivan, Assistant Chief Dough-
erty and other members of the Fire De-
partment made hurried search through
the rooms on the first floor, but there
was no sign of fire. A broken CRATE in the
warrant clerks room of Judge Conlan's
court led to the supposition that a live
coal had set fire to the woodwork under
meath but this idea, after an examina-
ton, was abandoned. The basement was
then searched. and the cause of the smoke
was discovered in the shooting range Of
the Police Department.
Some careless deputy in the County
Clerks office had thrown a live cigarette
into the fue in the office, and it descended
to the basement and set fire to a lot of
rubbish A chemical engine had been
summoned, but its services were not re-
Quired,

A short time prior to the big strike on
the Suffer street railroad Hannah was
the driver of an express wagon. In some
way he managed to ingratiate himself
into the confidence of the strikers, and
subsequently betrayed them to the po-
lice. For this act Patrick Crowley. who
was then Chief of Police, made him a
member of the department. few
months later he appointed him sergeant
of police, finally promoting him to the
position which he now occupies.
1t is understood that the Police Com
missioners will investigate the charges
at their meeting next Wednesday night.

would accept the offer of the railroad
company to compromise, as outlined,
none of the three members of the COM
mission showed the slightest hesitation
in stating that they would, adding that
they thought it best for the interests of
the State and of the farmers.
When Mr.. Herrin was asked what the
railroad would do he declined to discuss
the subject, saying he would first await
the action of the commission.
Mr.. Mills also refused to say anything
further on the matter than to remark
that the railroad company had never
made denial of Mr.. La Rue's assertion
regarding the proposed compromise.
Should the compromise be effected it
would mean that there will be no attempt
made by the commission to reduce rates
term of office For this reason it is likely
that the railroad company will not be
found difficult to deal with, so far as the
proposed settlement of the grain rate case
is concerned Another reason why the
railroad is not averse to dismisSing the
pending suit is that the rates on grain
have already been reduced more than the
contemplated per cent in the richest
territory that 1t tapS-the San Joaquin
Valley-by the advent and completion of
the Valley road.
The only thing done relative to the in
VeStigation of the rates charged by the
Pullman Palace Car Company was to in
struct the secretary of the board to ask
Attorney General Ford for an opinion
relative to the jurisdiction of the board
in the matter. The Attorney Generals
office was represented by Deputy G.. A.
Sturtevant who stated that in connection
with the Pullman Company's case ques-
ton of fact as to whether or not the Pull
man Company was transportation COM
pany would also have to be decided. Feb
ruary IA was set for final hearing of this
case, and 1t was decided to meet on the
18th inst. to hear the report of Commits
sioner Blackstock on the grain rate case.

lieutenant Esola and Detective Ed Glib
son last evening raided the Chinese Edu-
cational Society at 709 Commercial street
and notified the members that the place
must be closed by noon to-day. The po-
lice are of the belief that this so-called
educational society is nothing but high
binder organization and that its member
ship is made up of the most vicious ele-
ment in Chinatown. They think that a
are committed by men belonging to the
society and are of the opinion that If
they are able to break up the association
the work of keeping peace among the
Mongolians will be an easier matter.
The society has has been in existence IL for
legitimate educational organization until
recently. The headquarters has been
watched of late and the police have failed
to find any one freQuenting the rooms
who looked as If they thirsted for knoWI-
edge. Yesterday Ong Foon, one of the
ringleaders of the society, was arrested
on a warrnt for attempted eXtoruon
The particular case for which he was
taken into custody was an attempt ne
made to blackmail a woman in SULLIVAN
alley, but it is known that he has tried
the same game before with better sue
cess.
The members of the organization have
been engaged in the business of securing
the fraudulent admission of women INTO
the United States and for their services
fabulous prices are charged. Then after
the woman is allowed to enter she or her
owner is blackmailed and made to pay
the society so much each month
After the visit of the police last niSht
the members held meeting and DECIDED
to vacate their rooms. The See 1ups,
hearing of the affair, also held meeting
and while nothing could be learned as
to what they did it is believed that they
will take steps to see that the society is
broken up.
Robberfes and Matchmaking are more
frequent in Chinatown just now than at
any other time of the year. Every Chi
naman is laying up money for the new
year, which begins next month, ana the
highbnders are as anxious to celebrate
as the good Cinnamon. They are levy
ing tribute on the merchants, and hardly
day passes that some of the reputable
Chinese citizens are not the recipients
Of demands for money, with threat at
tached that if the demand is not COM
piled with they will be robbed or in
jured.
Last night All Sin made an attempt to
secure something for the coming festivi-
ties by entering a store on Jackson
street. He was caught in the act by Of
ficers Freel and Flynn and will probably
spend New Years in jail.

Hatch Not RESPONSIBLE.

The assignment of Dalton Bros.
commission merchants, to the American
Bank and Trust Company for the benefit
of creditors has caused considerable COM
ment among the business men of this
city. The firm is one of the oldest, and
was supposed to be one of the best estab-
lished in the State, its correspondents
and patrons being numerous the Length
of the entire coast. At first it was sun
posed that the failure was due to a con-
siderable extent to the failure of A tt
Hatch, who at one time was among the
largest fruit growers in California and
who recently went through bankruptcy
Mr.. Hatch states that the financial
connected with his own 1t is true. he
said that he had many dealings with the
firm but when he failed he was not owing
them anything He made the Daltons
his assignees, and as such they received
the fees that go with such position.
