SOME SUPPLIES
ARE REJECTED
Health Board Seeks to Put
Blame on Supervisors Be-
cause Samples Are Ignored
QUALITY is INFERIOR
Needed Articles for City
Hospital to Be Purchased
Out of Special Allowance

The Board of Health made futile
attempt yesterday to place the blame
on the Health and Hospital Committee
of the Board of Supervisors because
articles furnished to the City and
County Hospital did not conform to the
original samples upon which the con-
tracts were awarded and were rejected
on that account. The attempt was
made at the meeting of the committee
to consider the matter of purchasing
urgent supplies for the institution un-
der special appropriation of $4,000.
DR.. Ward, president of the Health
Board, stated to the committee that
forty-eight yards of damask furnished
by Murphy, Grant & Co. and 1900
yards of bleached linen from Levi,
Strauss & Co. were of inferior quality
compared with the adopted sample and
had been rejected by Warden Fleming.
Ward intimated that the committee
was to blame in the matter, but DR..
d'Ancona, chairman of the committee,
replied that 1T was the duty of the
warden to refuse to accept any sup
plies which did not come up to the
samples.
Charles W. Fay, clerk OF the board,
explained that the samples were Sc
lected by the hospital officials and after
the samples had been branded by the
committee it's duty ceased. 1t was then
the duty of the hospital officials to see
that goods of equal quality were fur
nished.
A committee of ladies, consisting of
Mrs. John F. Merrill, Mrs. Smedberg
and Mrs. Beaver, appeared before the
committee and submitted a list Of ar
ticles absolutely required for the hos
pital, which were approved. The cost
of the articles, which included bed
spreads, pillow cases, sheets, ETC., ag-
gregated $4,000. The committee decided
to meet at the hospital next Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock to inspect the
samples submitted.
The committee asked for permission
to expend $500 Of the remaining $1,000
in the special fund for surgical imple-
ments. A formal petition to that eff
feet will be filed and in all likelihood
the desired permission will be granted.

BOARD OF WORKS APPROVES
PLANS FOR ILLUMINATION
Grants Permit to Knights Templar.
VIII Remove Fences i'm Excelsior
Homestead District.

The Board of Works yesterday ap-
proved the plans for the illumination
and decoration of Market street by the
Knights Templar during their con-
clave in September next and a permit
for the same was issued. The plans
contemplate the erection of two col
onnades at Fifth and at Steuart streets
and a triumphal arch at Third street.
Bids will be invited for poles for a
permanent scheme of illumination on
Market street.
Burkhard, representing the Excelsior
Homestead Association, appeared be-
fore the board and complained that
no property could be sold in the dis
trict until the streets are opened. They
stated that Edinburgh. China and vi
emma streets were obstructed by fences
erected by Emhamk's dairy. Commits
sioners Schmitz and Maestretti stated
they would personally go over the
ground and take steps to have the OBJ
, structions removed.
The City Engineer was directed to
prepare plans for an engine-house on
Twentieth street, near Missouri
The City Engineer recommended
certain improvements on Corbett ave-
nue., Seventeenth street and Clara
avenue, but it is necessary that prop
erty owners who are liable for the
work petition for the same.
The City Engineer filed a report Of
the names of fifteen owners maintain
ing area walls for sub-sidewalk space
on Fourth street, which is about to
be widened.
Z. J. Coffey was appointed foreman
of street sweeping.
Grades were ordered changed on
Mission street at Onondaga, France

BANK LICENSES

The Bank Commissioners are having
corporators of the interim" banks
The wiseacres who thought to gather
up a few bushel baskets full Of the
coin of the realm through an oversight
of the lawmakers find that they get
only dross. 1t has all come about be-
cause a stanch secret drifted away
from its moorings and fioated into the
hands of people who thought they
might use il too.
When the Legislature wanted to get
rid Of Dan Kevane it had to abolish
the Bank Commission to accomplish it's
object Some time elapsed before a
new board was created Meanwhile
there was no restriction in the matter
Of Incorporating banks.
A wise man from Los Angeles saw
how he could get a bank franchise for
next TO nothing and sell it at a mag
nificent advance when the law was
once more in effect and licenses were
difficult TO secure. He incorporated six
banks with capital stock Of S5 in each
case. Every member of his family was
a Jdilh UltSiQGllls In0L blC lDid a
friend. The friend incorporated a few
banks on his own account and told two
friends. A Sacramento capitalist start
ed four banks with $40. Then Martin
Kelly and his henchmen began to form
banks.
Before the Legislature re-established
the commission there were more banks
in California than in all the other
States of the Union combined. The
combined capital of these financial in
stitutions would not buy a private car
10 Boston.
The new Bank Commission appealed
to the Attorney General, but he decided
that licenses must be granted on appli-
cation. The banks were licensed. The
incorporators smiled and waited for
customers. They are still waiting, but
the smiles have disappeared.
Interim" banks are a drug on the
market. There are too many Of them.
None of the licenses have been sold
and the Bank Commission thinks none
Of them can be sold. The price of banks
is now far below par. Martin Kelly has
four of them to sell for 81 apiece, and
he paid s.. The Los Angeles man gives
one bank away with every box Of or
anges. The Sacramento capitalist put
his licenses in to stop the break in the
levee last spring.

strikers had punished one man on

had been fined by the union for both

'I was making for the ferry" said
Michael Hickey in response to Judge
Mogan's inquiry as to why he was
found lettering early yesterday morn
ing at Fourth and Market streets and
why a screw driver and a wire cutter
were in his possession.
What were you making for the
ferry and were those implements used
in the making of it?" queried his
Honor.
Hickey promptly replied that he was
making haste for the ferry and that
the tools were not employed to ac-
celerate his gait. He arrived here
from st. Louis two days ago, he stated
and was starting to return to that
Mecca of the restless when his arrest
took place. A policeman, however. de-
clared that he had seen Hickey at least
a week ago dawdling on Market street.
and that on Monday night two cigar
stores on that thoroughfare were bur-
glarized by means of just such imple-
ments as those found in the defend
ants pockets. So the court pro-
nounced Hickey guilty of vagrancy
and ordered him to appear to-day for
sentence.
