City Attorney Advises
as to Geary-Street
Line.
Supervisors Have No Right
to Tacitly Allow Road
to Be Operated.

City Attorney Lane advised the
Board of Supervisors yesterday that
a proposed resolution providing
against interference in the operation
of the Geary-street railroad until
February 1. 1904 (the franchise hav-
ing expired), would be invalid and of
no effect. The opinion follows:
IF the resolution suggested could
be of any effect whatsoever it would
be in substance a franchise to ex
pire February /, 1904. The charter
provides the procedure under which
franchises may be granted, an essen
tial feature of which is the submission
of the matter to the public for pur-
poses of competitive bidding and
the charter provides that the right
may be granted in that manner and
none other In the method proposed
to allow the road TO operate no at
tempt is made to follow this plan and
1 am therefore of the opinion that the
resolution would be of no validity.
Under these circumstances 1t Is
probably unnecessary to consider the
remaining questions as to whether the
dQOpllOn Oh SuCn RESOLUTION WOulQ
jeopardize any of the rights of the
city or could be construed as recogniz-
ing any right of the railroad company
or its bondholders after February /,
1904.
1T may be we'll to remember In that
regard that those seeking to enforce
claims against the municipality, even
if finally unsuccessful may embarrass
the authorities by litigation or other
contentious, although founded only
on an invalid resolution of your
board

WOLF DISMISSED
FROM THE FORCE
-SergeantofP Police Found
Guilty Of Taking
Bribes.
Commissioners Declare He
Took Coin on Three
Occasions.

Sergeant Of Police Reuben A. Wolf
order of the Commissioners last night.
Voluminous testimony was taken dur
ing the last four weeks to prove that
the accused had on three occasions ac-
cepted a bribe from George B. Simp-
son, a saloon-keeper at the corner of
Mission and Seventh streets. and by
unanimous vote of the board he was
found guilty and the penalty fixed at
dismissal Evidence was introduced
tending to show that on August 10 Wolf
had taken SO, on September 21 S5 and
on October SIS. The portion of the
decision referring to VOLTS defense is
as follows:
"The defense offered evidence tending
to show:
"First-The good reputation of the
accused as an officer and a sergeant
"Second-A denial or the receipt of
the money, or that he was in the place
on the days mentioned.
"Third-An attack upon the place Of
business and reputation of the witness
Simpson.
''Fourth-An attempt to impeach the
witnesses Neil and Raddeley.
"Fifth-That the accused did not So
licit or take money from any of the
other sixty eight saloons on his beat
The evidence shows that the accused
Is a brave and efficient officer.
"The attack upon the general repu-
tation of and the place of business of
Simpson must be considered in the light
that If successful in either or both par
ticulars that 1t is only those of bad
reputation or who carry on an improps
er business that fear the police, and
are the only persons or places from
whom bribe would be solicited or
who would pay one.
IF the place of business of Simpson
is. as the accused testified, the worst
on his beat 1t is place that would
be likely to pay money to keep open
and should have been reported to the
Police Commission. The fact that 1T
was not reported is a circumstance
against the accused.
whatever Simpsons reputation may
be. we think that he and also Neill and
Baddeley and Walsh told the truth.
The attempted impeachment of these
witnesses does not discredit their testi-
mony given in the trial in our minds.
"The fact that no money was taken
or solicited from any other saloon on
the beat of the accused does not show
it was not taken from Simpson. The.
accused may have just determined to
commence a series of offenses Of this
kind and selected this place to COM
mence with.
1--WE can see no reason why Simp
q o
the city's interest that personal bonds
should not be given, among the reasons
because citizens are importuned to go on
bonds out of friendship, thus unwit-
tingly exposing themselves to liability,
and officers place themselves under obli-
cation to their bondsmen, who may de-
mand special favors and privileges. The
charter in fixing the salaries of officials
intended them to enjoy the full benefits
of such salaries. If they pay the pre-
miums they lose a portion of their com
pensation. and rather than suffer this
loss they will endeavor to give personal
bonds.
