The Supreme Court is disturbed by
the fear that a certain bernard d.
O'Connell, whom it has recently ad-
mitted to practice. is none other than
an ex-convict from Massachusetts,. An
investigation is under way to make
certain of the facts in the case. Should
the official suspicion be verified Attor-
ney O'Connell will get short shrift-
An attempt has been made to veil the
affair with secrecy, because the sus-
pected lawyer received his credentials
from men prominent in official life in
this and other large cities. O'ConneIl
is in New York on legal business.
Stephen Costello, on whose motion the
suspected lawyer was admitted to
practice, discovered last night that he
knew little or nothing of the man. At
torney keegan, who is O'ConnelPs
partner, knew nothing of his asso-
ciate's history. Both lawyers had ac-
cepted the mans credentials from a
leading fraternal organization and had
made no further investigation Cos
tello stated last night that he should
Immediately petition the Supreme
Court to disbar O'Connell unless he
could clear himself. The suspected at
torney states in his application for ad-
mission to practice that his name Is
Bernard d. O'Connell. while the name
on his office door and the name by
which he has made himself known is
Daniel O'Connell.
The Massachusetts ex-convict bore
the name of Bernard Daniel O'Connell.

DEATH CALLS
AGED PIONEER
AT HIS HOME

William Lent, a well known pioneer.
Sc years old, died yesterday at his res
idence. 699 Polk street. Mr. Lent was
one of the first who crossed the plains
early in '49. Immediately upon his ar
rival here he became prominent among
those who served the interests of CAL
iGornia. His integrity 1nd energy as
a business man brought him well de-
served success.
The activity Of his early years taxed
his vitality and he was forced by i'll
health to retire from business. several
years ago. However, his vigorous mind
never failed him and he retained all
his faculties to the hour of his death.
He passed away quietly with his chill
dren by his bedside.
Three children survive him, George
H. Lent of the real estate firm of
Hooker & Lent, Eugene Lent and Miss
Fannie Lent. William Lent was born
In New York on March Is, 1918. Ar
Iangements for the funeral will be
made later

O'Connell Of this city confded to Cos

for the bar and both have practiced.
The San Francisco O'Connell is
known to his sponsors principally
through his membership in a promi-
nent fraternal organization Another
feature in the case is a letter received
at the Supreme Court recently.
This missive states that the O'Con-
nell who was admitted to prac-
tice here last August is the ex-con-
vict. The writer Is a woman. an old
friend OF the Massachusetts, briber, and
she evidently does not wish to lose

possessed by the one time lawyer. but
her remarks are at least very much to
the point when she refers to him.
OConnell is expected back from New
York in about two weeks

ton that article of the charter, re-
lating TO public schools, be amended

addresses Of more than $1,000 legally
qualified electors, that number being
largely in excess of the Is per cent OF
the votes cast at the last general cleo
ton. Roncovieri requests that a spe-
cisl election be held for the purpose OF
submitting the amendments, which are

ment independent of the Board of Su-
pervisors in the fixing Of the school

same. The petition was referred TO the
Joint Charter Amendment, Finance and
Public Utilities Committee.

toned the board to make provision for
the payment of an assessment levied
against their property by the Board of
Works on July !, 1904.
To prevent street car accidents such
as have occurred recently the Rich
mond district citizens petitioned the
board TO enact ordinances that will, "a
restrict the speed of cars having cleo
tric or air brakes to fifteen miles per
hour and cars having hand brakes only
10 ten miles per hour; % that no car
shall carry a greater number Of pas
sengers than the seating capacity plus
one-half the same-that is TO say, a
car seating forty passengers shall not
carry more than sixty at any one time;
CD that double the present number Of
cars be provided; % that each car
shall be washed three times a week.

Hazel Damon, young, petite and
modestly attired tearfully told Police
Judge Mogan that she had no recollec-
ton whatsoever of the misconduct al
legged bv Patrolman Sam Orr who
arrested her last Saturday evening for
disturbing the peace on OFarrell
street, between Stockton and Powell.
She must have been completely crazed
by the third and last drink of whisky
she took in a concert hall which she
had visited with "a lady friend, for
OBLIVION quickly followed it's consump-
t1on No, she would not go so far as
TO say the liquor was drugged. The
truth was that she had never drunk
much alcoholic fluid and it was reason
able, TO presume that the influence OF

the policeman said she fought like a
wildcat at bay and said things unfit for
publication, she guessed he told the
truth. He might say what he pleased
without fear of contradiction from her.
for she remembered nothing of what
happened from the time she 1mDlDed
that third drink until she found herself
in solitary confinement Sunday morn

The policeman testified that the girl
had been twice elected from the con-
cert hall before he was summoned to
take her into custody. She had resisted
expulsion with tooth and nail, and sew

to cope with her. She resisted him fu-
riously, casting herself upon the side
walk, screaming like a hyena and slap
ping his face. She endeavored to smash
the patrol alarm box to which he
dragged her and in the wagon she kept
two burly bluecoats fully engaged in
holding her down. At the Central Sta
ton it was found necessary to place
her in a cell by herself
After the girl had entered her plea of

court that her home is in Portland,

been employed in an inn at Berkeley.

SUPERVISORS REJECT
BIDS FOR CITY BONDS
Charge Works Board
With Illegal
Action.

The Board Of Supervisors yesterday
having awarded a contract to F. M.
Yorke & Co. for the paving of H street
| between Seventh and Twentieth ave-
nues and for having invited bids for
the widening and paving of Fourth
street without having first received the
legal authorization from the Super
visors, as required by the jurisdictional
provision of the charter.
The resolutions as adopted recite that
the Board of Supervisors does not rec
ognize the authority or the Board of
Works in entering into the contract
! with the Yorke company nor in adver-
, tising for bids for the paving of Fourth
street and that any demands presented
/ for work done under the provisions of
the contracts will not be recognized
or approved by the Board of Supervis-
ors.
The H street contract is worth $21.
$50, and the Board of Works claims
that as a specific appropriation was
made in the budget for the work no
additional authorization is required.
The same reasoning also applies to the
Fourth street contract, which, however,
has not yet been awarded. In all like
lihood Mayor Schmitz will veto both
resolutions, as his views on the sub
ject are similar to those of his Board
of Works.
The ordinance prohibiting the dis
tribution in doorways of handbills,
pamphlets, pictures or other adver
tisements was passed to print. The
ordinance is designed to stop the dis
tribution of literature relating to pa
tent medicines and drugs.
The amended ordinance providing
that when roofs are damaged to the
extent of 40 per cent of their value
they shall be repaired with f1reproof
material only. in a certain designated
district outside of the fire limits, was
re-referred to the Fire Committee to
give lumber dealers who oppose the
measure a chance to be heard next
Thursday at 1870 O'Clock a. m.
An ordinance was passed to print
fully accepting the roadways of Jer-
sey street, between Castro and Dia-
mond; Washington street, between
Cherry and First avenue; Chenery
street. between Thirtieth and Randall,
and Dorland street, between Guerrero
and Dolores, all paved with bituminous
rock. Similar action was taken for
the conditional acceptance of Mission
street between Onondaga avenue and
the county line.
A resolution was adopted accepting
the offer of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to dedicate for public street pur-
poses certain tracts of land sixty feet
In width along both sides of the COM
pany's right of way between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-seventh avenues
South. The company agrees not to
close any streets in the Paul Tract,
which is adjacent to the lands de-
scribed, but will not be compelled to
maintain any grade crossings between
Twenty fourth and Twenty-seventh
avenues South.
The following ordinances were finally
passed: Ordering the performance Of
street work in Park Hill avenue, South
Broderick and Tilden streets, Eighth
avenue, Hancock, ] ana Cole streets.
Authorizing the return Of special taxes
for schools and hospital to the United
Railroads, $35,477 rs; Oceanic Steamship
Company, $1713 75; Bankers Invest
ment Company. $339o OF; Union Trust
Company, 1881 80, and many others.

JUMPER FINDS
SACK OF COIN

William Dorsey, a Jumper" or as
avenue, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Detectives Ed Gibson and
Bailey and booked at the City Prison
on a charge of grand larceny. Charles
Waldier, another Jumper, living at 2655
Howard street. was also arrested, but
after being questioned by Chief Witt
man was discharged.
Dorsey and Waldier we're employed
in assisting the firm Of j. ]. Gildea
& Co., mems clothing. Market street
and Grant avenue, to move to their
new store at 1923 Market street. A sack
containing $612 so in gold and silver
had been secreted behind a dresser.
Above the dresser hung a picture and
while Dorsey and WaIdier were taking
down the picture they pulled the dress
er aside and the sack was disclosed to
view.
Dorsey picked up the sack, and,
watching his opportunity, hurried from
the store to Galley & Roeder's saloon
oil the opposite corner, where he asked
Galley to keep the sack IN his safe till
he called for it again.
When the sack was missed the po-
lice were notified and Gibson and Bal
ley were detailed on the case. While
Chief Whitman and the two detectives
were standing in front of the saloon
Galley told them that the stolen sack
was in his safe and he described the
man who had left it. The sack was
handed to the officers and in a few
minutes Dorsey and Waldier were
placed under arrest. The sack was
booked as evidence against Dorsey.

Decline Offers and
Ask for New
Ones.

Acting on the report of the Finance
Committee, the Board of Supervisors
yesterday rejected the three bids for
the bond issue, including that of
$250,000 from the State Board of Ex-
aminers, and ordered new bids to be
advertised for. Monday. November
21, 1904, at the rooms of the board
was fixed as the time and place for
receiving bids. Only $277. 900 worth
Of bids were filed on October for
an aggregate of $5,600,000 Of the
bonds and it was deemed proper to be-
gin proceedings all over again for
their sale.
The communication from the Asso-
cation for the Adornment of San
Francisco, notifying the board of the
desire of banking institutions to bid
for $2,000,000 of the securities, the
funds of which are to be utilized for
the purchase of lands for parks and
Fairgrounds, was referred to the FL
nance and Utilities committees. The
Mayor received a letter from a New
York concern offering to lobby bill
through the New York Legislature le-
galizing the issue, so as to permit of
investments therein by the banks of
New York.
The Finance Committee requested
the City Attorney to press the citys
suit against eX-City Treasurer Brooks
for the recovery of commissions on
collateral inheritance taxes retained
by Brooks in the city's vaults. The
committee also requested Treasurer
McDougald to write a letter stating
that he will not take advantage OF
the statute of limitations in the matter
ot commissions on inheritance taxes
which have been retained by him in
sealed bag in the city's vaults for near
ly two years. The court decision in
the Brooks suit will determine if the
City Treasurer is entitled to the COM
missions. The City Attorney was also
urged to press the suit against the
Board of Works for the recovery of
ex-Cashier Whites defalcation.
Chief of Police Whitman explained
to the satisfaction of the committee
why it cost $500 to repair seven patrol
wagons in three months and the de-
mands were passed.
The Finance Committee refused to
pass the demands of z. NJ. Graney for
shoeing horses of the Fire Depart
ment and ordered them returned to
the Fire Commission, together with a
previous resolution expressing dissat-
isfaction with the manner in which
the contract was awarded.
The Election Commissioners were
requested to file a statement showing
what saving would be effected by the
employment Of a caretaker for the
a6 I,x-
the Mayor. Commissioner Leffingwell
thought the man selected should be
competent mechanic, not necessarily
OH the civil service list. Supervisor
Payot took occasion to criticize the
departments that are fighting civil
service and declared that it was all
due to the character of the men placed
on the various commissions.
County Clerk Greif was directed by
the Finance Committee TO file formal
request with the Mayor that he be al
lowed a temporary clerk to collect
some 100000 due the city IN probate
cases not yet closed. Some of the
claims run back twelve years. Greif
reported that he was now up to date
with the work in his Office besides
catching up with eight months back
work left by his predecessor. The
committee comDlimented Greif on his
splendid showing.
