SEWER BROKEN FOR YEARS.

The breakage in the storm sewer at
the foot Of Whitaker street, which is
now being repaired, has probably been
there for several years.
For some time it has been noticed
that the ground over the sew
er has been steadily sinking. A
hole about twenty feet deep will
have to be dug before the broken
place is reached. The work will be
finished within a few days, it is
thought.

WANT To CHANGE
PLAN OF ELECTING
JUDGES AND SOLICITORS.
CHATHAM LEGISLATORS WILL
LEAVE TONIGHT FOR ATLANTA.

Proposed Change in Method OF
EIectinE Judges and Solicitors
viii Doubtless Cause Big Fight.
Two Bills viii BE Introduced, One
to Have Judges and Solicitors
Elected by Legislature and other
to Have Them Appointed by Gov
ernOr.
The Chatham delegation will leave
tonight for Atlanta for the Legisla-
ture, which convenes at noon to-mor-
row. Representative J. Ferris Cam
and P. A. Stovan will leave on the
night train. Mr.. Harden will go up
this morning.
Mai. Cam says there are only two
local bills of any consequence that are
TO come before this session, so far
as he knows. He refers to the bills
increasing the salaries of the judges
of the Superior and City courts.
There is really little to come before
this session." said Mai. Cam, yester-
day. "Of course, the general appro-
priation bill will have to be passed,
but 1 apprehend little trouble with
that. There are no special appropria-
tions that I know of, which are to
be considered There are few bills
remaining over from last session. I
have just been looking over a record
OF the unfinished business from the
session of last summer and there is
very little to do,
People should Not Elect.
II am told there will be a bill in
PRODUCED to change the method of
electing the judges and solicitors of
the state. In fact, there will probably
be two bills. one providing for the
election by the General Assembly and
the other for appointment by the
Governor. There will probably be
hard fight over this question. l have
not yet made up my mind about it,
but ] think the present method is I'M
satisfactory.
There will also probably be a bill
providing for a state auditor | am
not certain what the scope Of this bill
will be- The committee of which Mr.
Hall is chairman, will recommend the
creation of such an office. l presume
it will be the duty of the auditor, if
the office is created, to make regular
inspections of the various state insti-
buttons
Methods of bookkeeping.
Il am told that various methods of
bookkeeping are now being used in diff
ferent institutions in some cases, an
tiquaited systems are being employ
ed. l don't know whether the pro-
posed bill contemplates having the au-
ditor devise a method of bookkeeping
for the institutions or not, so that
all of them may use the same methods.
The investigating committee found no
irregularities, but they did find old
systems being used The different
state institutions will probably be
made to make regular reports to the
auditor and he will be required to
make examinations at regular periods -
Maj. Cam said the work before the
Legi1 lature tEis session should be
quickly carried through as all of the
committees have already been Apo mt
ed and are on a working basis. The
chairmen of the various committees
are familiar with the details of the
work, he said. Notwithstanding the
lack of business before the Legisla-
ture, and the fact that all of the COM
mittees are already organized, Mai.
Cam is inclined to think the session
will last the full fifty days, as is usual
ly the case.

AGED SCIENTIST
ASKS CITY'S AID
George Washington Dunn,
an Authority on Insect
Life, Enters Almshouse
KNOWN IN MANY LANDS
In Pursuit of Specimens for
Patrons the Naturalist
Makes Distant Journeys

After devoting fourscore years to the
pursuit of science dear to his heart,
George Washington Dunn, naturalist
well known on two continents, applied
yesterday afternoon at the Board of
Health to become an inmate of the
City Almshouse. Although destitute
and hungry, the old man has at his
room at 1854 Beach street many thou
sands OF beautiful specimens Of beetles
and butterflies valued at nearly $1,000.
For these there is no market; or it
may be that he refused to part with
the results of his life work and chung
to them with closer tenacity as the
years crept upon him.
Up to a year ago, the scientist, who
is now 81 years old, was able to pursue
his collecting of beautiful and rare
insects. With what money he could
make by supplying private individuals
with specimens he managed to exc out
an existence. When this means of
support failed the old man had no
money. His landlord, D. L. Munson,
finally took him to the hospital where
he was examined as to his sanity. AS
he sat in the chair waiting the result
OF the doctors Investigations he talked
OF his travels and his work
Dunn came to California in Septem-
Der, 1S49, but not to seek his fortune
in the mines At that time he was
content with the bare necessities so
that he could pursue the work for
which he had a passion. Among his
patrons in those days were Baron
Rothschild and Lord Cholmondeley,
who wanted to take him to England.
In their behalf he made many trips
to South America in search of rarities.
Twelve times he has visited the South
ern American continent and the results
Of his Journeys are in the museum of
the Baron and the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition at Washington.
Although a recognized authority on
all matters pertaining to bug and in
sect life the old naturalist never went
to college. He was graduated from a
high school at Lyons, N Y, but i'm
mediately sought the seclusion of the
fields and avoided the ordinary as
sociations of men. His friends were
among the most eminent scientists
among whom was the late Professor
Joseph LIE Conte Of the University of
California.
After the doctors had decided that
Dunn was perfectly sane he was taken
to the office of the Board of Health
and there made application for en-
trance TO the Almshouse.

Peter j. Dunno Dies at
the WaIdeck of Pto-
maine Poisoning.

Captain Peter ]. Dunno died at the
Waldeck Sanator4um at an early hour
yesterday morning Of ptomaine pois-
oning. While chatting with some
friends outside of his place Of business
Tuesday evening Captain Dunno sud
denly staggered and fell to the side

was writhing In pain.
He was taken to the Waldeck, where
DR.. Gallwey and DR.. McGettigan
worked over him all night, but he ex-
pired without regaining consciousness
just before dawn. His wife and four
daughters were at his bedside when he
died.
Few men In San Francisco have
made and held as many friends as
Peter j. Dunno. His untimely death
will be regretted by thousands in all
walks of life.

three years of age his family crossed
the plains and settled in Nevada
There he received his education and
spent his youth and early manhood.
In the stirring days of Nevada's his
tory the public spirited young DUNES
honesty made him a prominent figure
in politics and business. In the mining
excitement Peter ]. Dunno was known
as a square and fearless man.
From 1870 to 1890 he held several po-
litical positions in Virginia City. He
was at one time captain of the EN-
met Guards of Nevada, in his time one
of the finest military organizations in
the country. John Mackay was his
friend.
In 1891 he came to this city, where
he entered into partnership with his
brother, James P. Dunno. He had two
other brothers, Frank H. Dunno, Judge
of the Superior Court, and Thomas F.
Dunno, president Of the Western Oil
and Paint Company, and two sisters,
Mrs James Orr and Mrs. A. G. Saeng-

Brigid's Church tomorrow, interment

While Dr. Gallwey is certain that
Captain DUNES death was caused by
something he ate on Tuesday night, it
is almost impossible to ascertain what
1t was. He dined that evening with
Bob Hampton, who ate a dinner SINH
lar to the captains. The only item
on the menu which Dunno ate and
Hampton did not was some tomato
salad.

GENERAL GREEN
EXPLAINS PLAN

The board Of engineers which is con-
sidering plans for relieving the situa-
ton In the river valleys during food
times spent its session yesterday IN
listening TO the scheme OF General w,
S. Green of Colusa- The EDITORS plan
is very elaborate and would involve
the outlay Of an immense sum OF
money. The members of the board
seemed rather doubtful Of the practica-
bility Of the scheme. No action in the
matter was taken, but General Green's
idea viii be considered with the other
solutions of this difficult problem
J. W. Hearth. q civil engineer in the
employ Of the Colusa editor, was also
heard at yesterdays session. He spoke
along the same lines as his employer
and helped explain the plan.
General Green thinks that numerous
canals should be built TO carry off the
surplus water in times Of food. When
word is sent along the line that high
water is coming, the gate at each out
let could be lifted and the overflow
would run OF. The editor proposes
that the surplus water be then turned
into basins and kept until summer,
when It may be used in irrigation.
While General Green and Mr.. Hearth
were calculating their plan, Major
Dabney, Mr.. Nurse and Mr.. Richard
son of the board asked fnnumera BILE
technical questions about working
methods. Commissioner Nurse partic-
ularly seemed convinced that the plan
was not feasible and his fellow mem
bers Of the board did not express their
approval They were all Of the opinion
that the scheme looked well on it's face,
but they were skeptical about the solu-
ton Of the engineering problems In
volved.
The board will be at the Flood build
ing again this morning to hear such
other plans as may be presented by in
