DEFERS ACTION
UNTIL FEBRUARY
Supervisors Committee Post
pOnes Selection of a Site
for New Public Library

The Supervisors Joint Committee
on Finance and Public Utilities yester-
day decided to defer action on the Sc
lection of public library site until
on or about February Is. 1905. 1t
is expected that Civic Architect d. H.
Burnham, who is evolving plans for
the adornment of San Francisco and
for the creation of civic center, will
return on the date named.
The committee discussed at further
length the two sites already under
consideration, one being block 7S,
bounded by Van Ness avenue, Frank
lin, Hayes and Fell streets, favored
by the Public Library Trustees. and
the other block CT, bounded by Van
Ness avenue, Polk, Grove and Fulton
streets.
Architect Cahill pleaded for post
ponement of final action until Burn
hams return, when his exact views re-
CARING a civic center could be ascer-
tanned. William Magee said block 73
could be purchased for $4,000 or
less.

CARRIES FIGHT
TO THE ENEMY
Board of Works Wants Grand
Jury to Investigate Super
visors as to Paving Bills
PHASE OF OLD FIGHT
Send Communication to Fore
man t. 2. Andrews-Bran-
denstein Eager for Inquiry

The friction between the Board or
Public Works and the Board Of Super
visors is to be aired before the Grand
Jury. The Commissioners want an in
vestigation of charges they prefer that
the Supervisors in their animus and
political Vaccinations to discredit the
Schmitz administration are placing OBJ
stacIes in the way of the Department OF
Public Works in a highly unwarranted
manner and seriously subverting public
welfare. The Supervisors declare that
an investigation would be welcomed
and assert that they will have enough
complaints to offer against the Public
Works Commissioners TO tax the zeal
of the most energetic grand juror. The
fur is expected to fly.
The Public Works Commissioners
yesterday sent communication to
Foreman Andrews asking mat he dl-
rect the attention OF the inqulS1torlai
body to the conduct of the supervisors
particularly in reference to the street
department 1t is set forth that i'll the
annual budget the niggardly sum OF
$40. 900 was set apart for the repair OF
pavements during the year, and 1t is
alleged that the purpose of the Super
visors was to handicap the present ad-
mInistration and place it in bad odor
with people who are interested in hay-
ing good thOroughfares
Again, the action of the Supervisors
in blocking payment of the bills of r.
NJ Yorke & Co, which has the con-
tract for repair of pavements, is
deemed a proper subject Tor the Grand
Jury probe. The communication recites
that Yorke's bills for work are reason
able and the rates no higher than those
that have obtained for several years.
The care of the public thoroughfares as
a result has been hampered TO an ex-
asperating degree, and it is pleaded
that a halt should be called on the
board that is grossly abusing it's func-
tions in refusing to allow proper ad-
minlstration of the streets.
The typewriter document from the
Commissioners states plainly that the
Supervisors are actuated by the un-
worthy motives of the scheming politi-
cian 1t is contended that they are
manipulating their powers of supervis-
ing the expenditure of the public
moneys so as to make it appear that
the Board of Public Works is unworthy
of its trust. They are charged with a
purpose OF preventing the repair Of
streets that it may appear that the
SchmitZ regime has failed in its duty
and gives the public the poorest of
service. In short, the Supervisors are
accused of doing cheap politics." with
view to accomplish the downfall Of
Schmitz and his administration.
When Foreman Andrews received the
communication he sent for Supervisor
Brandenstein, and a conference of half
an hour was held in the Grand Jury
rooms in the Mills building. Branden-
stein was not disposed to discourage
the idea Of an investigation. He an
nounced that he would be pleased to
have a go with the Public Works Off
cials before the Grand Jury. Then he
quoted from Shakespeare and in dra-
matte fashion detained, Lay on,
MacDuff: and damned be him who
first cries, hold, enough

CEMETERY LAW
BEING TESTED
Demurrer to the Complaint
Against Laurel Hill Ar
gued Before Judge Hunt

Defendants demurrer to the COM
plant in the suit of Bessie Hume VS..
Laurel Hill Cemetery and the Mayor.
Supervisors and Board of Health or
San Francisco was argued and sub
mitted yesterday to United States
Circuit Judge Hunt. The complain.
ant alleges that she is a granddaugh-
ter of the late Robert Macbeth, who is
Inferred in Laurel Hill Cemetery. A
wear ago his wife, Sarah, died and the
cemetery authorities refused to per-
NIT the body to be buried in the fam
ily plat for the reason that a city
ordinance prohibited any further In.
terments. The complainant asks that
the ordinance be declared unconstitu-
tional, in that it takes private prop
erty without due process of law.
On behalf of the city and county,
Assistant City and County Attorney
John S. Partridge argued that the act
of the Legislature approved In 1857
and under which the cemetery asso-
citation had incorporated provided that
the title to a cemetery lot should be
inalienable forever and should descend
to all heirs at law. Mr.. Partridge con-
tended that such act was unconst-
tutional and created a perpetuity. he
contended also that the ordlnace pro-
hibiting further burials was enurely
within the police power OF the mu-
nicipality. which was conferred upon
the Supervisors by the constitution
and the charter. He added that the
Supreme Court of California had held
that the ordinance was valid, and 1t
was proper that the United States
courts should follow the State In
terpretation of the State statutes. Inc
ordinance was reasonable, he argued,
as it had been proved that the main
tenance of cemeteries in densely pop
uIated districts was detrimental to the
public health.
William S. Wood for the complains.
ant denied that a cemetery was OF
itself q nuisance. The courts could
not take judicial notice that such was
a fact. AS to whether any particular
cemetery in a particular locality was
a nuisance was a matter, he said, for
proof. The speaker attacked the
Validity of the ordinance upon many
grounds, one being that it takes in
the entire city and county, whereas 1t
should prescribe certain limits within
the boundaries of the city and county.

To SELL PART
OF BOND ISSUE
Board Invites Proposals on
March 6, 1905, to Carry Out
Most Urgent Improvements

The Beard Of Supervisors yesterday
passed to print an ordinance inviting
proposals on March 6, 1906, for the pur-
chase OF $685. 500 of the municipal
bond issue for public improvements still
remaining unsold. The portion to be
sold includes hospital bonds, $3.50, 900;
sewer bonds. $724,S00; school bonds, ST.
OF, 500; street improvement bonds, S24S,-
GOO; County Jail and Hall of Justice
extension bonds, $278,400.
1t is proposed to have the Board Of
Public Works pass resolutions Of inten-
ton for the most urgent street and
sewer work. 1t will be necessary to
purchase some land for the carrying
out of the school, Jail and Hall of JUS
tice improvements.
An offer was made by F. NJ. Burge on
behalf OF an Eastern concern to pur-
chase the entire bond issue remaining
unsold Burge produced a letter from
w. Mason, treasurer and manager Of
the Beaver Creek Coal Company Of
Philadelphia, stating he was authorized
to bid par or face value on the issue of
SIT 600 900. The finance committee was
much impressed with the confidence
shown in the bonds by Eastern parties
and thought it should encourage local
financiers to Did While Burgess offer
was not IOIHidlly dccepteu ne was
urged to put in a bid for the issue of
s., SIS, 500 proposed to be sold on March
g. 1905.
Preliminary steps were taken by the
finance committee which will ulti-
mately result in the widening of Mis-
sion street, from Tenth street to the
bay. and also its sewering from Second
street to the bay.
Herbert E. Law informed the com
rnittee that the property owners on the
street were ready to purchase sufficient
bonds on condition that assurance be
given that the Improvement will be
carried out The bonds to be sold for
tho purpose aggregate 5000. 900, of which
SIPS 600 is for the sewer and $4,000 for
widening and repaving. The commit
tee regarded the improvement as nee
essary and agreed to order it done in
the event that bonds in the amount
named are bought.

against the selection of block 73
Hooker & Lent estimated the cost Of
block 81 at $575,000. Trustee O'Con-
nor submitted a sketch whereby block
73 can be made to conform to the
plan Of a civic center and argued that
this selection would not interfere with
a panhandle scheme wherever located.
Supervisor Braunhart thought it in
advisable at this time to determine
the establishment Of a civic center and
connecting it with the park panhandle
by way of Fulton street and Alamo
Square as suggested by Civic Architect
Burnham- He said the project would
cost $12.O0O,00O, for which bonds
would have to be issued, which would
endanger the proposed acquisition OF
a municipal water supply system.
which would cost at least $50, 200, 900.
Braunhart favored the immediate Sc
lection of one of the blocks under
consideration.
The debate was resumed before the
entire board at its regular meeting and
the postponement Of a selection was
thereupon unanimously agreed upon.
A. 3. Mcguire, on behalf OF property
owners in the vicinity Of the two pro-
posed sites, fled a protest against the
location of a library on Van Ness ave.
nue.. alleging that it would be injurious

cality.

BIG PROJECTS

National Capital.
Gillett Takes Prominent Part in SWayne
... Case and Bard Stands Against
Uniting Territories.
By S. W. WALL

this matter-that there will be no
split, no admission of one and ex-
clusion Of the other. The East stands
against admitting any more States shy
on population.
Senator Bard, however presents a
strong and peculiar circumstance in
his argument. In the act creating the
Territory Of Arizona the provision
contained in every other such act,
from the time of Wisconsin, reserving
to Congress the right to attach ANY
portion of said territory to any other
State or Territory is conspicuously
absent. Such provision is contained
IN the acts creating the Territories of
Wisconsin, Oregon, Minnesota, Utah,
New Mexico, Washington, Kansas,
Colorado and Dakota.
The Arizona act provides that Con-
gress may divide or change its boun-
daries, but nothing is said Of the right
TO attach TO il any other State or Terri
tory. On the contrary, it distinctly
says that the Government then created
shall continue until such time as the
people residing therein shall. with con-
sent Of Congress, form a State gov
ernment and apply for and obtain ad-
mission into the Union as a State on
an equal footing with the original
States" This time, says Senator Bard,
has not come. The people have not
applied for admission on the terms
presented This fact should in this
country stand against all other argu-
ments, he says. The people are not
passively asserting: they are act
lively and energetically protesting.
The bill just introduced by Senator
Kearns OF Utah that would cut off
from Arizona all that portion lying
north of the Colorado and attach II TO
Utah is in response to resolution of
the Legislature of that State framed as
long ago as February, 1898. The me-
mortal sets forth that the region re-
ferred to is inaccessible to the south
ern and more populous portion of Ari-
zona, and is, therefore, a rendezvous
for criminals from Utah. it being very
difficult TO administer the law there.
To get eXtradition papers a journey
south to Los Angeles and thence to
Phoenix then a return by the same
long route, is necessary. The tax col
lectOr is set at defiance, too. The flocks
and herds that Craze over the land
the onlv use to which it is put-are
made to cross the line when the man
from Arizona is after the revenue they
should yield the Government; but let
the collector from Utah try to come
down upon them and they are back
in Arizona. However the bill and
this plausible reasoning behind it viii
hardly divert the course Of the state
hood bill at this late day.

superior Judge Makes Error.

The Supreme Court decided yester-
day that the Superior Judge Of San
Bernardino County had erred in rem
dering judgment in favor of the plain
tiff in a civil suit because the defend
ant refused to advance one-half of
the reporters fee. Henry D. Meach-
am wanted to recover a piece of real
estate which he alleged was wrong
fully in the possession of the Bear
Valley Irrigation Company. The court
ordered both parties to advance the
reporters pay and the defendant re-
fused to do so. The Supreme Court
says the plaintiff should have paid the
entire amount and had the defendant
lost the suit the reporters fee might
have been charged to the costs ac-
