EXPERT NOTIFIES BOARD
st. Mary's Square Association
Pleads for Payment of Judg-
ments Obtained Against City

The Hassell Audit Company notified
the Board of Supervisors yesterday
that the County Clerk reports having
collected on account of the amounts
reported by it against Public Admin
istrator Farnham the sum of ss49 and
that tomorrow he will collect 1915 80
additional, a total of s1325 30. and about
S4OO more will be paid in as soon as
the amounts can be verified.
The committee decided TO meet this
afternoon at 4 o'clock to take UP the
report Of the experts on the adnli7is-
tration of the probate department of
the County Clerks office and the al
legged shortage of fees in connection
Herewith.
G. D.. Shadburne, president of ST.
Mary's Square Association, appeared
before the Finance Committee and urged
the payment of two judgment demands
obtained in land condemnation pro-
ceedings for the proposed park. Audi
tor Raehr refuses to pay the demands
until stipulation is filed releasing the
city from paying demands in excess Of
S125. .0O0 the original appropriation for
the park.
Brandenstein thought that some legal
document should be filed to protect the
city in the matter, but Shadburne
would not consent TO it. Shadburne
stated that subscriptions to the amount
of $4,000 had already been taken up
among the promoters Of the project.
Brandenstein thought the list Of sub
scribers should be furnished the COM
mittee, but Shadburne thought other
wise. The committee thereupon post
poned action until next Monday, when
Auditor Baehr viii be present and
some agreement arrived at.
A petition was filed signed by men,
bers Of the st. Mary's Square Associ-
alton requesting that the board pro-
ceed by right Of eminent domain to
condemn and acquire the land for park
purposes and to appropriate in the
present tax levy the sum of $4,000 for
such acquisition and the association
will raise by subscription whatever
amount in excess of that sum may be
necessary therefor.
The ordinance providing for the con-
struction of ground floor pipe-casing
holes in and through the floor Of the
first story Of buildings in order to en-
able the Fire Department to promptly
extinguish any fire occurring in base
ments was passed to print.

WESCOTT DETERMINED
TO AIR HIS TROUBLES
Files New Action For an Injunction
Against Association of Pi-
lots and Masters.

What was practically a motion to
dismiss the suit of Captain w. A. Wes-
colt for a writ of mandate compelling
the officers of California Harbor No.
Is, Association of Masters and Pilots
of Steam Vessels. to admit him to a
meeting of the association to be held
last night, was granted yesterday by
Judge Seawell. When the case was
called the attorney for the defendants
moved to "quash service of the sum-
mons in the proceedings" on the
ground that "a copy Of Westcott's pc
tition for a writ was not served with
the writ nor at all"
The dismissal does not end the mat
ter however. Wescott late yesterday
afternoon filed suit for an Injunction
restraining the defendants in the dis
missed suit from interfering with him
in any way in his rights as a member
OF the association. He also asks for
$1,000 damages.

pervisors was passed TO print by the

thorizes the board TO appoint some suit

OF neglect Of duty in that he had issued
a form Of receipt not warranted by law.

compare the stubs of that receipt book
with the official receipts, and the stub
books were destroyed or thrown away

but no estimate cf the damages that
might result therefrOm had been pre-
pared. Attorney McEnerney, repre-
senting the St. BOniface Church men,

Dispatch Is Received BY Governor

Whether the University OF California
will get the space it seeks in the edu-

The space required is 1900 square feet

return from the East to ST. Louis yes

matter Of space will be taken UP to-
day.
Governor Pardee has received from
President Francis of the St. Louis
Exposition an answer to his telegram
sent last week asking that the Univer-
sity Of California be given what space
it needs The answer from President
Francis is as follows:
Hon. George c. Pardee, Sacrament

ferent times and in different ways
urged the University of California to
participate in the exposition, space

the university declined without reser-

grant any space in view of the in

silver advocates in 1896 because Ol
rho insufficiency of the supply of COLO
70 meet the demands for standard
money. They advocated the quaint
,ative theory of money, and their ar
ouments have been sustained by the
prosperity that has resulted from an
increase of the supply OF money
through the enormous increase IN the
production and the coinage or goid.
Even now it is doubtful whether the
gold supply is adequate to meet all
the requirements for money supply.
There are still complaints of money
stringency and the republican lead
ers are proposing such shifty devices
as asset bank currency to overcome
the difficulty.
f. Benjamin Andrews had excel
lent company in his views on silver.
In 1894 William Mckinley in a
speech at Toledo denounced the ad-
of Grover Cleveland for
"dishOnoring silver and eXalting gold,
thus making money the master and
labor the servant Even up to the
moment that he was nominated for
president by the St. Louis convention
William Mckinley had never renounc-
ID his free silver views.
In 1894 the Portland OregOnian

silver notions and in that same year
