URGES SPECIAL
SCHOOL LEVY
Board of Education Favors
Submission of a Charter
Amendment to. the Voters
MAKES PLEA FOR HELP
Thinks Department Should
Be in Same Category as
Park and Public Library

The Board of Education yesterday
completed its statement showing what
1t considers is an injustice done by the
Board OF Supervisors in making an In
adequate appropriation for the school
department in the municipal budget
for the next fiscal year. The statement
will be filed with the Mayor to-day and
will be used as a guide by his Honor
in vetoing specific items of the budget
should he decide so to do.
During the preparation Of the report
the members of the board discussed
the advisability Of petitioning for the
submission of a charter amendment to
a vote Of the people providing Tor
levying a special tax for the mainte-
nance Of the public schools. While no
definite action was taken each School
Director expressed himself as strongly
In favor of the proposition.
The Board of Education Is OF the
opinion that the School Department
should be placed in the same category
as the parks and public library in the
making of appropriations. The charter
requires that the Board Of Supervisors
shall annually levy a tax of not less
than IL nor more than 215 cents on
every 500 of assessed valuation for the
support of the library and not less
than nor more than cents for the
parks. The School Directors claim that
a tax of, say, 10 cents should be levied
for the schools in order that the School
Department should not be left to the
mercy of a hostile Board of Supervis-
ors This tax would mean an annual
contribution from the city of some
$465, 900 and is not considered high in
view OF the fact that the State gives
nearly 81, 600 900 to the San Francisco
schools. The Board of Education is
much wrought over the including by
the Supervisors in it's next appropria
tion of an alleged surplus of $10S,000,
which it claims does not exist, and
special tax would obviate a recurrence
of such a condition. 1t would not be
necessary to go outside the dollar limit
for the purpose, as is the case for the
parks.
During the present fiscal year fifty
five teachers were elected. but il is
claimed that owing to lack of funds
very few teachers will be appointed
next year.
The Health Board will also appeal TO
the Supervisors to increase it's appro-
priation, one item of $1,000 to improve
the emergency hospitals being consid-
cred imperatively necessary.

United RaiIroads Wins.

1t took jury in Judge Kerrigan's
court only five minutes yesterday to
find a verdict for the defendant in the
case of William Wilmington against
the United Railroads. Wilmington
sued the company for $4,000, alleg-
ing that his 15-year- son, while
riding as a passenger on car, was
pushed or thrown off by the conduc-
tor and that the child died from his
injuries. The evidence, however,
showed that the boy was not passen-
ger. but had been jumping on and off
cars and that while so engaged he fell
and broke his leg. Lockjaw followed,
causing his death.

. to Secure Divorce Here

ihe wife OF Guy 7. Butler. at one time
"A welT known young club man Of New
: York and later identified with mining
. in the West and Mexico Their mar
'Tiage was celebrated with much pomp
: In New York, but soon proved an un-
happy union. ending in a separation OF
the. couple. which was followed by sew
eral exciting escapades OF the wife
among them ain att-upt at suicide in
q New York hotel.
Several months ago Mrs. Butler, ac-
. companied by a colored maid, made a
hurried trip TO this city from the East
and a few days after her arrival filed
.a.:suft for divorce against hef husband
Butler. who was then in Arizona, was
charged with failure to provide. The
complaint Of the wife set forth that
she was a resident Of San Francisco,
. where il. was alleged her parents had
fong'.resided. but when she was called
ibon.'in the court TO more fully estab-
Iish her claim to a local residence. Mrs.
Birtler utterly failed and, much to her
apparent dismay. her plea for per-
manent separation was denied.
in disgust the woman packed her
trunks at the Palace and one morning
=. hastened back TO the East This was
the last heard Of. her until the news
came yesterday that she had been
married in london, at Westminster,
two weeks ago. Where she finally Sc
cured a divorce from Guy Butler is
not known among her acquaintances
here. although they believe that she
obtained a decree in New York. Tewks-
bury is we'll known on this side Of the
Atlantic. where he has spent much

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS.
The Campaign to Begin the 2lst OF
This Month:

The Democratic executive committee
met last Thursday night in the Office
of the secratary of state. There was n
full attendance, ouly II few OF the mem
bers being absent.
Senator Tillman. as national commit
teeman, was present, but lie took no
part in the proceedings nor had any
ching TO say in regard I" the many
points raised rs To party rules
The committee was called TO meet
especially to select nominees for presi-
Dental electors, but various other
question came up and were discussed,
the result being that nothing was done
which changes the party rules. In tins
connection, however, She committee
put itself ou record as favoring the
abolition OF the county to county can
yasS in any case where candidates for
State offices have no opposition. The
idea that meetings might he held in
each congressional district seemed to
he ravorablv considered, Though il WAS
uvite evident that the cummitte" had
mo- idea of suggesting an abolition of
the primary.
Mr.J G. RihardS of Krrshaw brought
up nhe question and moved that Il can
vass by the candidates be- not made
compulsory. as il is according to the
rules. lie said that such canvass was
expensive to candidates rs well as to
the people, and he didn't see why lie
people should be afflicted unless they
wonted to be. Tais idea met with gen
eral approved and when il was received
with geneal laughter.
Finally tile committee adopted Mr..
Richards suggestion. This means that
it is the opinion of the committee that
a bounty TO county canvass should be
abandoned in ceSes where candidates
have no opposition and teat meetings
in congressional districts will satisfy
all the requirements of The primary
system. The opinion vas expressed,
but 40 changes in the rules of the par
ty was made.
1t was decided that the campaign
should begin on June 2lst A commit
tee was appointed to make out the
itinerary, and that committee will
meet here one week hence.
