Forced to Liquidate Debt of $1,000
for Surgical Services.

The Superior Sunset Oil Company Of
Los Angeles must pay DR.. w P. Scott
$1,000 for surgical operations perform
ed upon one of the corporations en-
plOyes, according to a decision rem
dered by the Supreme Court yesterday.
The debt was contracted by the COM
pany's secretary and tacitly acknOwl-
edged by two of the directors, but
when the bill was presented payment
was refused
The defendant employed a man
named Carroll to protect it's oil land
from claim jumpers. After the man
had been at work about a week he
was sent to the hospital suffering
from gunshOt wounds. DR.. Scott was
called upon to attend the patient by
the oil COmpany's secretary and found
it necessary to perform several oper-
atiOns.
The surgeon did what he called
S120O0worth of work and when he
found there was no pay coming ne
brought suit. The Superior Court de-
cided in his favor and the Supreme
Court affirms that decision.

A special train of six carloads of
Russet Oxfords consigned direct from
Whitman to New York for distribution
by express among the chain of Regal
stores-this is the method the Regal
Shoe Company found it necessary to
adopt in order to meet the enormous
demand for Regal Midsummer Oxfords.
This demand for Royals is the newt
able result of the Russet leather
"corner" brought about by the Regal
people. Calls for Russet Oxfords be-
came so numerous that the managers
of the n Regal Stores wired big or

The demand is reasonable, for E-usset
Oxfords are unquestionably the pre-
dominating midsummer shoes, the
sensible choice of popular favor. 1t is
a fact that the Regal factory is sup

There is positively not a complete as

The witness was then asked to ex-
plain how he estimated the value of
the various properties, and in reply
said he had taken into consideration
the original cost and the income from
them as shown by the books. He had
an itemized list as calculated by him
and Attorney Campbell readily con-
sented that he might refresh his mem
ory from it, at the same time produc-
ing the ledger of the firm. This led

neys for the defense, who argued
against any such comparison. Judge
Lawlor permitted the figures from the

witness seemed unable to account for
the sudden boom in real estate, but
said he had obtained some information
from other books and Mitchell had
aided him.
Josua then detailed his conversation
with Colonel Beck on April 10 at some
length. He had visited Beck to set
tie up a matter regarding insurance
and Beck had mentioned the subject
of loaning money on wheat. The con-
versa ton took place in the Interna-
tional Bank, but whether in Becks
private office or in front of the rail
he could not remember nor did he
know if third party was present. Of
one thing he was positive and that
was when he mentioned Beck's proffer
in the Office of Eppinger & Co. Jacob

versations with Jacob Eppinger, Her

DECLARES LAW
FOR BUILDERS
Board of Works Orders En-
fOrcement of Ordinances
Relative to Construction
FENCES FOR PROTECTION
Only One-Half of the Side
walk and One-Third of a
Street to Be 0bStructed

The Board of Public Works yesterday
issued peremptory orders to the build
ing inspectors and the outside men en-
ployed in the City Architects Office TO
see TO it that two ordinances relating
to building construction be complied
with by building contractors. The two
laws have been practically dead letters
during the past. and their non-enforce-
ment has resulted in much incOnven-
fence both to vehicular and pedestrian
traffic wherever buildings are being
erected.
The first ordinance to be strictly en-
forced by the board requires tempor-
airy sidewalks and fences to be erected
in front Of buildings in course Of con-
struction. The enacting clause follows:
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation to erect or cause TO be erected, or
TO continue the erection OF any building with
in the fire limits, 10 cover the same with
mastic or other coating of mortar. without
first laying, causing to be laid, on the
outer half OF the width Of the sidewalk and
sidewalk. for the OF pedestrians and with
first erecting causing 10 be erected, a
good and substantial fence. at least twelve feet
high. nclosing the inner half OF the width OF
the sidewalk. so to protect pedestrians from
brick timber mortar or debris falling from
such building. Such sidewalk must be 50 con-
strUcted. and all building operations must be
so conducted. that pedestrians shall have a
free and unobstructed passage over at least
the outer one-haf OF the official width OF the
sidewalk the curb.

REMOVAL OF DEBRIS.

The Board of Public Works must
prescribe in the permit granted the
time for such occupancy of a street.
Upon the failure or neglect of the per-
mittee to remove or cause to be re-
moved to the satisfaction of said
Board of Public Works such dirt, debris
or materials within three days after
being notified so to do by the board.
the money deposited as a guaranty or
so much thereof as may be necessary,
shall be used by the board in the re-
moval of such dirt, debris or materials.
The prime object in enforcing the last
ordinance is the fact that the sweeping
of streets is now being done by the
city. and the work is greatly hampered
by the dust and dirt which blows from
building materials and from the ex-
cavation of streets The Board of
Works desires to sweep the streets well
and will insist on strict compliance
with the regulations by building con-
tractors.

ASSETS OF THE FIRM.
"Of what did these assets consist?"
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-16
FIXES PENALTY.

Violation of the ordinance is punish
able by a fine of $500 and six months
Imprisonment.
The second ordinance to be enforced
provides regulations for the temporary
occupancy of a public street by ma
terials or appliances for any purpose
and authorizes the Board of Works
to make rules and regulations relative
thereto.
The ordinance provides that a per-
nit must first be obtained for the
placing Of materials used in the con-
struction or repair of building. Such
materials or appliances shall not Oc-
cupy more than one-third Of the width
of the roadway of the street and not
more than One-half of the width Of
the sidewalk, and shall be placed there
on under the direction and to the salts
faction of the Board of Public Works.
but in no case shall they be placed
within three feet of a railroad track.
