MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR
MRS. HANNAH III. CAMERON
Noted Pioneer Woman Who Witnessed
Raising of Bear Flag Passes
AWAY.

Away.
At the church of the Seventh Day
Adventists on Laguna street, between
Golden Gate avenue and McAllister
street, services in memory of Mrs.
Hannah House Cameron will be held
tomorrow, Saturday, commencing at
IL o'clock in the morning,
Mrs. Cameron was one OF the most
distinguished of the pioneer women
of California. She was the widow Of
John Cameron, one of the first May
ors of Sonoma. Mrs. Cameron died
September 13 at her home in Mendo-
cino, where she had resided. for two
years. She came to California with
her husband around the Horn, arriv-
ing in this city in 1S47.
John Cameron belonged to Col
onel Stevenson's regiment. Mr.. Cam
eron left the regiment owing to i'll
health. but devoted his energies to the
upbuflding of the California COM
munities in which he lived. Sharing
in his struggles and ambitions, Mrs.
Cameron came prominently before the
people and when the bear flag was
raised in Sonoma she was present.
After her husbands death her great
love for the redwoods Influenced her
to go to Mendocino in her declining
years. At the time of her death, in
her eighty-sixth year, Mrs. Cameron
was in full possession of her mental
faculties and she was comfort to all
with whom she came in contact. Her
three children, Mrs. John Ross Mar
tin, Mrs. c w. cambridge and Ben
jamin Otis Cameron, survive her.
The members of the California So
ciety Of Women Pioneers are invited
to be present at the memorial service.

tor of the estate of Henry w. Davis,

GREAT ESTATE
IS EXPENSIVE
Cost of Managing the Sutro
Property Much in Excess OF
Present Monthly Income
DISTRIBUTION OPPOSED
Administrators Succeeds in
Cutting Down Payment OF
Legacies Petitioned For

DR.. Emma L. Merritt wants to get
rid of the management of the Sutro
estate, and she believes that the quick
est way to do it is to make the in
come meet the expenses, then get the
estate out of the courts. She made
this statement on the stand in Judge
Coffey's department yesterday when
giving her reasons for opposing the
petition for partial distribution OF
$57, 900 and interest to A. ]. Treat
Four of the Sutro children gave as
signed claims to one-fifth of certain
legacies to Treat, who was represented
by Garret McEnerney. j. c. McKins-
try appeared for DR.. Merritt, who was
questioned by Mr.. McEnerney.
The executrix said that she had
$91, 900 on hand and believed that the
distribution should not be made. She
thought she should retain $50, 600 for
contingent expenses of the estate,
$4,000 for taxes and $4,000 for ne
cessary repairs to the bulkhead at the
Sutro baths. IF, instead of asking
for little money now" said DR.. Mer-
ritt, they would wait until the es-
tate gets in good condition they would
receive much more. 1 believe the
mortgage of s30S,00 to the Hibernia
Bank should be paid off, the estate
lCken out Oh the cOurtSs anu lHel IL
would not run behind" She said that
the income last year had been $4,000
and the expenses $104,G00. The es-
tate is now running behind about
$4,000 month. She thought that the
100000 worth of property sold be-
fore 1902 was sacrificed, and that the
sales this year did not bring what
the land was worth. Had she been
free to decide, she would not have
sold ii.
At this point claim was put in
in behalf of Charles Sutro for inter-
est due on legacies which have been
paid, as a prior claim to that of
Treat. Mr.. McEnerney then sug-
gested that the court allow $4,000
out of the $4,000 to be prorated
among the six children, but Mr.. Nc
Kinstry insisted that the remainder
would be inadequate to the needs of
the estate. Thereupon Judge Coffey
ordered that $4,000 should be di-
vided among the six.
DR.. Merritt stated that the value
of the property not included in the
charity trust is more than one and
one-Quarter million dollars.

GIVES REASON
FOR DECISION
Supreme Court Says Law on
Charter Amendments Must
Be Construed Literally
SUSTAINS SUPERVISORS
Municipalities Executives
Have Absolutely Nothing
to Say in Such Matters

The Supreme Court yesterday de-
livered an opinion setting forth its
reasons for denying Joseph Harrison's s
petition that the proposed amendments
to the municipal charter be submitted
To the voters at the approaching gem
eral election. 1t is held that that there
must be a period of two years be-
tween all elections on charter amend
ments The last election of such char
acter took place in December, 1902.
The court also asserts that the Mayors
concurrence in proposed charter
amendments is not necessary and that
they need not be submitted to him for
approval The practical effect of the
decision is that the people will be called
upon to vote on the charter amend
ments at a special election to be held
some time after the first week in De-
cember of this year. The Supreme
Court gave its ruling on the question
at Los Angeles a week ago, but did not
then explain its position.
The Supervisors formulated the pro-
posed amendments, most of which cur
tailed the power of municipal commits
sions, and submitted six Of them to
Mayor Schmitz for his approval. He
signed one and vetoed five, so the
teen. The Board of Election Commis-
sioners sustained the Mayor and re-
fused to place the proposed amend
ments on the official ballot. The Mer-
chants Association also objected to the
submission of the propositions on the
ground that there was doubt as 10
the legality of the plan.
The law says that vote on charter
amendments shall not take place
oftener than once in two years. There
was doubt as to whether this provision
referred directly to the actual vote or
to the ratification by the Legislature.
The court says the phrase in question
refers to the submission of propositions
to popular vote. The measure was in
troduced for the sake of economy, that
special elections might not be called
every month or two.
The claim of the Election Commits
sion that the approval of the Mayor
was essential is declared to be without
merit According to the decision the
Mayor has absolutely nothing to say in
such matters in view Of the. fact that
his functions are not considered leg
islative."
The court says it understands that
its position on the question will put
the city to the expense Of special
election, but the law in the matter is
said to be explicit. Justice Angellotti
wrote the opinion and Justices McFar-
land, Van Dyke, Henshaw and Shaw
concurred directly with him.

ROOF REPAIR ORDINANCE
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Shingle Dealers and Property Owners
Voice Protest Against Fire
proof Requirement.

Shingle Dealers and Property Owners
Voice Protest Against Fire
proof Requirement.
The Supervisors Fire Committee
yesterday heard the protests of shin
gle dealers and many property owners
against the proposed ordinance pro-
vid1ng that when roofs are damaged TO
the extent of 40 per cent by fire they
shall be repaired with fireproof mate
rial only. 1t was represented that
losses from the burning of wooden
roofs was only per cent of the total
loss from fires in four years, and the
proposed ordinance would not assist
in beautifying the city as 1t may pre-
vent the buildings of homes.
Emil Pohli said the effect of the or
dinance would be to extend the fire
limits to Baker street. Buena Vista av-
enue and Seventeenth street, where
many residences are being erected. He
said the extension of fire limits should
be confined to districts considered dan
gerous on account of hazardous enter
prlses- f. e. Sutman presented a de-
tailed report of causes of fire to show
that the abolishing of shingles for
roofing purposes will not be an effec-
tive way Of preventing roof fires Pro-
tests against the ordinance were read
from the builders of San Francisco and
others signed by 900 property owners.
Thomas e. Curran, who said he rep
resented 5000 property owners in the
Western Addition and the Mission, op-
posed the ordinance, but asked until
next Thursday to produce data in sup
port of his opposition and to this the
committee consented.

Within two months the centraliza-

the Merchants Exchange, the Mer-
chants Association, the Manufactur-
ers' and Producers Association of
California, the San Francisco Stock
and Bond Exchange, the Chamber of
Commerce of San Francisco, the
Board of Marine Underwriters and the
Board of Fire Underwriters have all
secured quarters there All the COM
mercial organizations except the Board
of Trade of San Francisco and the
California State Board of Trade have
spoken for rooms.
In large Eastern cities exchanges
and commercial bodies have been CEN
tralized as much as possible for the
sake Of convenience. A similar move

Tops of Houses.
The monthly report of Acting
Health Oficer Hassler filed with the
Board of Health at its meeting yes
terday showed that there were forty
nine samples Of candy and butter COL
ors, syrups and honeys analyzed and
that many of the latter were found to
be adulterated with glucose, salicylic
acid and borax. Hassler says he will
submit the names of the adulterated
articles to the board for action.
Hassler in his report also recon-
mends that an ordinance be drafted
which shall make II unlawful for any
property owner to maintain upon a
building a tank for the storing of wa
ter used for human consumption, the
water directly from the street main to
be the source of such supply. Hass-
Ter says that in several cases infec-
tious disease has occurred through
houses using water from tanks and
frequent complaints are made by ten
ants of filthy drinking water.
Hassler inspected tnirty-five dairies
and found that in nearly every in
stance an earnest endeavor was being
made to comply with the new sani-
tary rules.

ion That Deposit Must Be Col
Iected Until Courts Interfere.
The United States Attorney General
has decided that Collector Stratton
must continue TO exact from the steam
ship companies the head tax of 81
upon aliens in transit. The law pro-
vides that no head tax shall be col
lected for this class of passengers, but
the department has insisted that the
tax be paid in the form of a deposit,
TO be repaid to the companies upon
proof offered by them that the alien
tourists have passed out of the coun-
try three thousand miles from here.
The transportation companies took
the case before the United States Cir
cult Court, and Judge Morrow. a few
weeks ago. decided that the collection
OF this so-called deposit was illegal.
The Government. however, will con-
unue to collect the tax until its legal
fly shall have been determined on ap-
