MANY CHANGES
IN POSTOFFICE
Cashier O'Connor Will Go
Out on April First, and
Salaries VIII Be Cut Up
NORMAL BASIS RESUMED
Other Removals Predicted
of Employees Not Under
the Civil Service Rule

postmaster Fisk was very much cha
grined yesterday when he learned that
the TACT that Acting Cashier E. A.
OConnor Of the postoff1ce was to be re-
moved on April l had been made pub
lie. For some reason which has never
been published impending changes in
the San Francisco postoffice are never
made known to the public. After the
changes have been made the fact is
made known.
Mr.. O'Connor has been acting as
cashier for many years, and proved
himself to be an honest and competent
official. But Daniel S. Richardson, who
was acting as superintendent of the
postofflce, appeared on the payroll as
cashier and drew the salary of the po-
sition, while Mr.. O'Connor performed
all of its duties.
Mr.. Fisk declined to state yesterday
the name of O'Connor's successor, but
rumor points to Hull McClaughry,
Lucky" Baldwin's son-in-law, as the
lucky man. Mr.. McClaughry at pres
ent occupies the position of secretary to
the Postmaster.
The salary of Cashier Walter L..
Stowell of the stamp department has
been cut from $4,000 to s17OO per annuIn.
1t had been s17OO originally, but through
the influence of Daniel S. Richardson.
who was a close friend of Stowell, the
salary was increased to $4,000.
1t is reported that at an early date
there will be general removal Of the
non-civil service appointees of former
administrations and that their places
will be filled by friends of the Fisk ad-
ministration. Mr.. Fisk said yesterday
that he had not made up his mind as to
future changes and would not do SO un-
til he had had an opportunity of famil-
iarizing himself with the situation. 1t
is believed, however, that all salaries
above normal will be cut down to the
normal level.

WORK At HOME
NEARS ITS END

The headquarters in this city Of the
California Commissioners to the St
Louis Exposition will be closed to-mor-
row night Commissioner Virgins and
Secretary Willis are in ST. Louis Com
missioner Filcher has wound up about
all the business that remained to be
done in San Francisco or other Cali
fornia points, with the exception of the
shipping Of exhibits that are not ready
to start on the overland journey.
Eight carloads Of exhibits, including
the mineral arch that is to decorate the
California exhibition in the mines and
mining building, have gone East There
are nearly twenty more carloads to &C
forward and the probability is that this
last of the exhibits will not be in st.
Louis before the end of April.
The delay in the matter of reaching
an understanding about the exhibition
space for the University of California
made the collection of exhibits repre-
senting the university late. None of
them have yet gone on to st. Louis.
The bulk of the forestry exhibit for
the forestry building ana the greater
part of the mineral exhibit of Cali
fornia is still in this State Until the
arrangements for installing what is to
be shown are finally completed ther.
is no particular haste about getting the
different portions of the California
show into st. Louis. They are in such
shape that they can be forwarded in
a few days after urgency instructions
are received from the California Com
missioners.
Professor Robert Fur1ong, chief of
the department of education for Cali
fornia at st. Louis, has gone on to the

VAIN ATTEMPT
TO FILL JURY
Three Vacant Seats Remain
Unoccupied in Body That
Will Try Cordelia Botkin
NO NEW NAMES ADDED
Thirty Talesmen Examined
and Prove Unfit-Venire
for Seventy Five Issued

Ihirty talesmen out of the special
venire summoned Tuesday as possible
material for jurors in the case Of the
People Of California vs. Cordelia
Botkin, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Elizabeth Dunning, were ex-
amined yesterday. and none Of them
was found fit for the duty demanded.
The remainder Of the venire were ex-
cused by Judge Cook or else failed to
answer their names, so that not sin
gle additional juror was secured. Ac-
cordingly another venire of seventy
five names was issued, returnable this
morning at 10 o'clock, from which it is
hoped the three still wanted may be
selected
Curiously enough only one peremp-
tory challenge was required to dispose
or the thirty talesmen, and that was
exercised by the prosecution. The other
twenty nine were either unwilling to
inf1ict the death penalty upon woman,
mad conscientious scruples against cir
cumstantial evidence or had formed an
opinion as to the merits of the charge
mat evidence could not alter. Most of
those summoned were business men,
and they displayed much unwillingness
to serve on the jury.
Attachments were issued for thirteen
of the talesmen who failed to answer
their names Among these was a man
who has been dead several months,
ana when Judge Cook learned this fact
he mercifully withdrew the attachment.
1t has come to light that District At
torney Byington was much relieved
when he was assured that John p.
Dunning, husband of the murdered
woman, and his little daughter were
on their way East with the other East
ern witnesses for the prosecution. At
first Dunning fatty refused to attend
the second trial Of the woman with
whom he had been intimate and whose
love for himself is the alleged motive
for the murder of Mrs. Dunning. Strong
pressure was brought to bear upon
him, not because r. is regarded as an
indispensable witness, but for the moral
effect which his presence will have on
the jury.
Finally he consented to come If his
expenses were advanced and he was
compensated for his loss Of time.
Deputy District Attorney Tom Ken
nedy, who was sent East to secure the
witnesses, eventually prevailed ON
Dunning to make the westward journey
on condition that all his expenses
would be paid

TAKES FIRE

heavy, three-seated automobile
with q steam driving power, belonging
TO the Mobile Company and driven by
Frank Smith, a chauffeur, caught fire
yesterday afternoon about O'Clock on
Golden Gate avenue, between Cough
and Octavia, and was entirely de-
stroyed except the engine.
Smith was returning from the park
with two male passengers and after
passing Octavia street one Of the pas
sengers cried out, She's afire!" Smith
glanced back and saw the rear of the
vehicle in flames. He stopped the ma
chine and the occupants piled out. In
a moment the automobile was wrapped
in blaze that mounted fifty feet into
the air. A crowd assembled and some
body turned in a fire alarm.
Al Faulkner and Harry Chambers.
two well known chauffeurs employed bv
the Mobile Company, were at the barn
al Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues
and saw the burst Of flame. Hastily
loading two fire extinguishers into a
high speed French machine, they
made record run up Golden Gate ave
nue.. arriving in time to save the en-
gine. All Of the woodwork Of the ma
chine was destroyed, together with
robes, seat cushions. etc, and the
framework was SO badly damaged as
10 render it practically useless. The
company estimates the loss at $500.
The cause Of the fire is attributed to
leakage in the gasoline tank which
supplies the fuel None of the occu-
pants was injured. but one of the pas
sengers had the back Of his overcoat
burned out.

is ACCUSED OF BEING
SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS
Charles w. Mottwiler, Manager of
Clarence Investment Company.

William r. Boland, a director of the
Clarence Investment Company of Wis
consin, room 545 Parrott building,
swore to complaint yesterday after
noon charging Charles W. Mottwiler,
manager of the company with felony
embezzlement. The amount involved
is $3.50.
Boland alleges that the directors
discovered that Mottwiler had been
making fictitious entries in the COM
pany's books and an investigation
showed a deficiency of $3.50. Mott
wiler was taxed with being short in
his accounts and Boland says he ack-
nowledged it and promised to make
good the amount on Tuesday evening.
He was present at meeting of the
directors that evening. but asked for
an extension of time till yesterday
morning. 1t was ascertained yester-
day that Mottwiler had told some
friends that he would have to get out
of the city and it was believed that
he had done SO.
Mottwiler was enc of the crew of
the gunboat Bogota that sailed from
this port about two years ago to fight
for the Colombian Government.

WORKINGS OF AUTOMATIC
SPRINKLER ILLUSTRATED
Representatives of Grand Jury, Su-
pervisors and Fire Commission
Gather at Corporation Yard.

An illustration of the working
of theater re-fghting apparatus as
suggested and recommended by
the Board of Fire Commissioners
was given yesterday afternoon
at the corporation yard of the
Fire Department. 81 Sacramento street.
Supervisor Hooks, chairman of the
Fire Committee of the Board of Super
visors. Messrs. Whalen. Finken and Su-
tro of the fire committee of the Grand
Jury. Fire Commissioner Boyne and o.
Eastwood and George l. Wellington,
representing the automatic sprinkling
device, were present.
Assistant Chief Dougherty explained
in detail the plans, which provide that
the theaters should be protected
against fire with both automatic
sprinklers and perforated pipe systems,
so that in the event of fire occurring
when there is no performance or the
fireman is not at his post to operate
the perforated pipe system the auto
matte sprinkler will perform its func-
tion.
1t is designed to have two tanks of
large capacity located on the roof of
the theater to supply both systems. in
addition to the city water supply, so
that in the event repairs are being
made to the mains there will be suf-
ficient water in the tanks for an hour.
The perforated pipe system provides
for piping located in the gridiron and
on both the auditorium and stage sides
of the proscenium arch, so arranged as
to form a double water curtain. The
automatic sprinklers are to be located
above the former system and next to
the roof
Two stands of pipes had been erected
and connected with a hydrant to show
on a small scale the operation of the
system and it's ability to furnish an alb
solute curtain Of water between the
stage and the auditorium and effec-
lively drench every portion of the
stage.

HOTEL MAN ARRESTED

The Southern Pacific Company took
the initial step yesterday in plan for
the prosecution on criminal charges Of
many men along it's Western system
accused of having fraudulently manip-
ulated local tickets, by which practice
the company has been mulcted out OF
many hundreds OF thousands of
dollars. In the afternoon a war
rant was issued at Watsonville
for the arrest of F. w. John
son, proprietor of a hotel or that
town. who is charged with forgery. it
being claimed by the company that the
accused recently fraudulently altered
railroad ticket which he disposed nf 10
the son of Samuel Hawkins, Justice of
the Peace of Watsonville,
According to the statement mace yes
terday by Chief Train Agent Lund of
the Southern Pacific Company, John
sons case is but one Of many that have
been thoroughly investigated by the
company, and his arrest will be fol-
lowed by the prosecution criminally Of
numerous others. including pawnbroh-
ers saloon-keepers, proprietors of cigar
stands, hotel clerks and druggists in
various towns along the railroad line
from Portland in the north to Ell Paso
in the south.
The method of the alleged fraud is
simple one, and has been going on
Tor many years. Under a construction
OF the State law. railroad ticket is
transferable and this fact, together
with the stopover privilege. which each
piece of pasteboard carries, has been
taken advantage of by a number OF
persons in reissuing the tickets at a
cut rate, for the transportation a sec
ond time over the same route for which
they were originally purchased. For
many years it has been the practice of
the company's conductors on it's local
routes, when a passenger desired to
stop over at some station between his
point of departure and destination, to
punch the ticket and then mark on the
back Of 1t the designating number of
the town at which the traveller was to
stop, and underneath this number the
conductor would sign his name.
