Superintendent Langdon reported
that a portable schoolhouse was re-
quired at the Sutro School. There are
twenty-five pupils on the waiting list
and one teacher has to teach four
classes Of f1fty-two pupils. Director
Boyle said the Bergerot School needed
a portable schoolhouse, but the board
agreed that nothing could be done to
relieve congested attendance owing to
lack of funds.
The salaries of teachers, janitors,
office and shop employees and the de-
mands for rent for the month of De-
cember. 1904. were approved and or
dered paid.

teacher in the Horace Mann Evening
School, from January 8. 1905. to the
beginning Of the spring term, 1906.

ARGUE LEGALITY
OF ADOPTION
Counsel in Monnier Contest
Fight Legal Battle Over
Birthright of Contestant
LETTERS IN EVIDENCE
Uncomplimentary Epistles of
Young Husband About His
Wife Placed on Record

The. course Of the Monnier hearing
before Judge Graham yesterday was
suspended several hours while the
counsel for both sides were lost in the
mazes of argument relative to the ad-
mission of the adoption record signed
by George Monnier and Johannie Mon
nier before Judge Charles Halsey. The
direct examination of George Monnier
Jr. was concluded yesterday and the
only new evidence evolved was the ad-
mission as evidence Of several letters
written by Monnier to his mother,
In which he referred to his wife In
uncomplimentary terms and expressed
the hope that the annulment proceed
ings. then in course of trial, would be
successful.
Beside the usual record of the adop-
ton of George Monnier Jr., who was
at that time known as Charles D.
Dewey, the document recited that the
father of said child is not in the said
city and county of San Francisco, and
has been absent therefrom for some
years. and his whereabouts Is un-
known to the mother Of said minor
child and to your petitioners"
George D. Collins, for the pro-
ponent, Johanne Monnier, objected to
the admission OF the adoption paper
on the ground that Judge Halsey had
no jurisdiction. He argued that from
the face of the document the paternity
of the child was unknown to Monnier
Sr. and that the child was adopted
without the consent of its father,
which made the instrument invalid.
This ground was opposed by Matt Sui
livan, for the contestant, and Judge
Graham finally set aside this after
neon for a continuance of the hear
ing of the argument. Decision in the
matter will not be given before to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, when
the case will be continued.
Mrs. Mary Reilly and Mrs. Mary A.
Connell were placed on the stand by
the contestant to tell OF conversations
with the elder Monnier, In which he
admitted that his wife was not the
mother Of George Monnier, but that he
was the father. The court was COM
PEELED to issue an attachment for the
appearance Of Mrs. Connell. It de-
veloped in the testimony of the wit
ness that when she was served with
the subpoena she asked her husbands
advice and was told not to appear.
When summoned again by telephone
Mrs. Connell observed that she thought
her husbands commands more bind
ing than the court order and was in
dignant at being compelled to attend.

BURGLARS MAKE
DAYLIGHT RAID
Operate in Richmond Dis
trict, Taking Advantage of
Lack of Police Protection

Criminals, taking advantage of the
lack Of police protection. are continuing
operations in the Richmond district
The latest crime reported to the de-
partment involves an exciting night for
Mrs. Joseph Prince, who lives at SO
Twenty-hrst avenue, and loss to her
husband Of $50 and some effects of
minor value.
Mr.. Prince reported to the police that
last Tuesday night about o'clock his
wife, who was alone in the house, was
startled by the loud ringing Of the door
bell. She went to the front OF the house
and on lighting the gas heard some one
run away. Later, she thinks about IL
o'clock, she heard hammering, as
though some one was trying to force
an entrance to the basement She was
greatly startled and was at a loss what
TO do when her husband arrived
She called to him, warning him not to
go to the basement saying q burglar
was there Disregarding her fears, Mr.
Prince got lantern and a revolver and
searched the building, but found no
one.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Prince left
her home to do some shopping. When
she returned that evening she found
that thieves had succeeded in their ef-
fort>to loot the dwelling. Everything
had been ransacked in the search for
treasure, and even the carpets were
torn up by the burglars in search of
coin. From the condition Of the din
ing-room IL was plain that after steal
ing all they could find the thieves sat
down and enjoyed a repast.
There is but one mounted policeman
in the whole district where the crime
occurred, and the people Of Richmond
ask that they be given better protection
against burglars and petty thieves.

by the pile system were filed yester-
day with Colonel Heuer, United States
engineer. s. p. Blumenberg, repre-
senting the Star and Crescent Com

lands. Colonel Heuer will forward

Cancellation Board Fails to Adjust
Grievances at Coke Brothers G Co.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 27.-The dc
cision OF tho Coke Brothers & Co. mine
workers to go on strike unless the
Cancellation board adjusted their griev-
ances resulted in Superintendent Ku-
blic6 being present at the meeting. He
took up several hours in stating the
company's side of the controversy.
claiming that the men were discharged
because they violated a well-known
rule of the company.
As no decision was rendered by the
conciliation board at the session. it is
believed by those interested that a
strike will occur. The miners represen-
tatives on the board will make no
statement in regard to the matter
Other grievances were taken up dur
ing the afternoon. but their nature
could not be learned. 1t is probable,
however, that the check weighmen
question was discussed.
The check weighman question was
also taken up, the representatives Of
the operators insisting that the matter
should come before the Cancellation
board, and the representatives of the
miners contending that the whole ques-
tion had been settled by the de. ision of
Carroll D, Wright A serious hitch de-
veloped and it is stated that the rep
resentatives of the operators demanded
a vote on the proposition to submit
the matter to the board A ballot was
taken. but the miners refused to vute.
When the meeting adjourned, 1t is
no time or place was agreed
upon for another meeting. Both sides
are reticent as to the possible outcome
of the hitch.

Rice as a nenlth Food.

Considerable attention has been di-
rected toward rice as a health food
since the fighting qualities of the Jap
anese are being 50 widely discussed.
1t has always been commonly believed
that rice lacks the ingredients that help
make muscle for the human body.
However the most important article Cf
diet Of the Japanese is rice. and we
have recently if not before had occa-
sion 10 particularly note the physical
strength of these small people of ia
pan. The Philadelphia Vegetarian so
cicty has lately been paying special at
tention to this subject and has made
investigations through Professor $. A.
Knapp, who las simple explanation
Of this supposed inconsistency. Rice,
as it is eaten in America is not mus
Gle making food simply because in
American mills the outer husk and
bran of the rice kernel are removed by
polishing. and thus is removed that
part of the rice which contains the pro
tein and which is the most nutritious
part of the rice. In Japan the outside
coating of the rice kernel is retained.
and hence great strength of muscle is
developed in the Misunderstanding
