MRS, KELLY FIRES
FACTS AT ENEMIES
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Cain.

Oakland Office San Francisco Cali.
COS Broadway, Aug. 8.
Mrs. Helen Kelly has been made the
victim of much whispering since 1t be-
came known that she was 20 leave the
secretaryship of the Associated Charities
on September /.
1t has been stated that Mrs. Kelly was
very discriminating in her administration;
that certain churches and influences were
favored by her more than others. At va
rious times Mrs. Kelly has been charged
with being too inquisitive. and with at
tempting to override the wishes Of some
of the district visitors. Rumors have also
gone around that the secretary lacks
business ability and that it is largely due
to her incapacity that the Associated
Charities is now a financial wreck With
little prospects of being salved.
These and similar insinuations have
been fl eely circulated and have come TO
the knowledge of Mrs. Kelly. To-day
she made public positive denial of all such
insinuations and produced facts in Justi-
fication of her statement that the failure
of the Charities is in no way due to her
mismana cement.
After a resume of the actual work of
the association since August l, 1893, When
Mrs Kelly took charge, she proceeds to
show that the laundry business IN con-
nection with the Charities was failure
from the start, as was also the free path
house. She says:
The laundry was a losing business from the
start. 1 had no control of it, only receiving
he moneys given me from 1t and paying us
bills by warrant. With regard to the wood
yard I only received the moneys paid for sales
Of wood, which moneys I paid out on order
of the president.
Last fall the Charities decided that
chain letter system would very soon
bring it out of its financial hole. but the
following paragraph from her report
shows that the thousands that were eX-
npptpd from this source did not pour lnUO
the Golfers and the endless chain proved
to have a very definite end:
An Indebtedness of $1,000 is before US. The
laundry woodward and baths closed. Three
sppeals have been made TO the public during
the present fiscal year. The Thanksgiving
offering gave us S94 25. The chain letter helped
us 1905 and the Joaquin Miller lecture gave US
$50 Having the interest of the poor of the
city so much at heart as 1 have. would 1t
be likely that l would have placed the asso-
citation in such financial straits and then leave
II to have its difficulties settled by stranger?

HOPE FOR MRS. BoTKIN.
The Decision in the Hoff Case Leaves
the Way Open to Her.

SAAC W OROAA " $1,000
The police are considerably exercised
over the decision of the Supreme Court
IN granting a new trial to Albert Hoff,
the murderer of Mrs. Mary Clute, and
Captain Seymour said yesterday that the
decision entirely reversed the same court
in the Durrant case.
In the Hon case Judge Cook, in charg-
ing the jury on the motive point. used
exactly the same language as Judge Muir
ply in his charge TO the jury In the Dur
rant case, a comparison of the records
bearing him out in that statement. For
the past ten years Judge Murphy had
used the identical words In every charge
made by him TO a jury when the question
of motive was involved, and the Hof
case decision was a surprise to him as
well as to the police.
1t Is now considered probable that un-
less a rehearing is demanded and the de-
cisIon OF the Supreme Court reversed
Mrs Botkin will apply for a new trial,

CHEAP " CONTRACT.

1t was virtually decided Wednesda
that the Truckee River General Elec-
trio Company is to be awarded the
contract for supplying the mines Of the
Comstock lode with electrical power at
a cheap cost.
The terms Of the cheap power on
tract are briefly as follows: The
Truckee River General Electric Com
pany agrees to furnish the mines with
a maximum Of 5000 horse power to be
generated at plants to be constructed
neal Floriston and transmitted by wire
to the Comstock. Should the mines
take | 500 horse power or less. the
cost will be SO for each indicated horse
power per month, and should 5000
horse power be taken. the cost will be
reduced to SIS per horse power per
month. There will be a Sliding scale
of charges between those two extremes
proportioned to the amount taken.
The mining companies will agree that
for the first two years after the COM
pletion Of the power plant they will take
not less than a total Of 500 horse pow
err. Should they take less than 500
horse power in a month, according to
their needs, they can take more at
other times as they may require. so as
to compensate themselves.
The mining companies will agree to
give a bonus Of 500. 900, of which
SIS, 900 is to be paid upon the signing
of the contract, $40, 900 in thirty days
thereafter, and the balance is to be
paid In installments Of SIS 900 each,
every sixty days afterward. The
Truckee River General Electric Com
pany agrees to rebate to the mining
companies this money. the rebate to
be at the rate of 10 per cent when 800
horse power is used, 20 per cent when
1000 horse power is used, 81 ID per
cent when 1900 horse power is used,
and in like proportion until the full
amount is paid back. The Truckee
River General Electric Company will
give a bond to secure the mining
companies for the $4,000 to be put
up, and as they rebate to the COM
panies the bond will be scaled in pro-
portion.
1t is also agreed that in ase the
companies are unable to fulfill their
part Of the contract in taking 500 horse
power per month the Truckee River
General Electric Company shall have
no lien on their property, although 1t
is 10 nave a prior CAIN on any assess
ment money that may be collected by
the companies.
Another clause Of the agreement
will provide that in case all the power
used in Storey and Lyon counties. Me-
vada, shall exceed the amount taken
by the mines the amount shall be so
credited that the mines shall have the
benefit Of It. There Is also a stipula-
ton that the electric company shall
put up two lines Of wires, and in case
Of any breakages to their power plant
they shall S the power from the pa
per mill at Floriston.
