SCORES SUPERVISORS
Resents Dictation on Civil
Service and Says Some
Departments Are Crippled

Mayor Schmitz yesterday transmitted
to the Board Of Supervisors his veto
message on the municipal budget for
the next fiscal year. The appropria-
tions vetoed or reduced by the Mayor
aggregated the small sum of $53,675,
which Is much less than was expected.
The Mayor explains that there are a
number of items he deems unjust which
he would have vetoed, but it would
be futile, as the appropriations so elm
mated could not be used for other pur-
poses.
The appropriation of s62S, 1886 for in
terest and sinking fund Of the bond is
sue for improvements was not dis
turbed. The Mayor contented himself
with scoring the Board of Supervisors
for what he considers petty tactics in
crippling departments over which his
appointees have supervision, and claim
ing that offices friendly to the Demo
cratic majority Of the Board of Super
visors were treated in a liberal man
ner.
The Mayor vetoed all the clauses in
the budget directing that money ap-
propriated for salaries shall be used
only for civil service employees. He
contends that the Supervisors have no

ACH ATTEMPTS
TO SHOW BIAS
Closely Questions Witness in
Eppinger Case Regarding
Connection With Police

Robert Williams, a deputy grain in
spector for the Merchants Exchange,
occupied the stand yesterday in the
case against Jacob Eppinger, charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. On the direct examination his
testimony was damaging to the de-
fense. On cross-examination by Henry
Ach an effort was made to show bias
on the part of the witness and in this
he succeeded to some extent when
Williams admitted that his expenses
had been paid by Detective Gibson
while they were searching for James
Deming, superintendent of the ware
house at Crockett. He stated positive
ly, however, that aside from this he
had never received a cent from the
Police Department nor had he been
promised any money.
Williams testimony regarding the
manner of doing business in the ware
house was corroborative of others. who
swOre that affairs were conducted in
loose manner. The numbers on re-
ceipts were frequently disregarded and
orders and reports We're taken by tele-
phone. He recalled the time when pile
709 had been shipped instead of 10 and
said that Chief Inspector Bunker had
been telephoned to regarding the sub
stitution and was satisfied, as the
quantity and quality of grain in the
piles were identical. Concerning the
lots Of wheat on which the money was
borrowed and on which the indictment
is based the witness gave detailed tes-
timony.
AT any time between December 5
and April 25 were there any piles
marked 7Os, 7O7 and 1882" was asked.
Yes" was the reply.
Did not each option pile have its
own lot number?"
1T did"
The witness said he was familiar
with the warehouse and the piles of
wheat and was positive that the grain
on which Jacob Eppinger borrowed
money in April of 1903 was shipped to
foreign port in December of 1902 The
witness had not counted the sacks in
the piles and had not weighed the
grain, but got his information by look
ing over the shoulder of the weigher
while he was making entries. in his
book.
AT this point another tilt occurred
between opposing counsel. The court
admonished the attorneys that side re-
marks would no longer be tolerated
After futile effort on the part of the
defense to force the witness to admit
he was under pay Of the Police Depart
ment, the case was continued until
Monday morning.

GEFFENEY CAPTURES
JAPANESE CULPRITS
Women Who Had Been Struggled
Over the Northern Border Ar
rested With Their Masters.

A. H. Geffeney, acting inspector in
charge of the United States Immigrant
Bureau in Seattle, has been in this city
for four days and has succeeded in
locating and arresting two Japanese
men and five Japanese women for
whom he had warrant Proceedings
of deportation will be instituted
against the women. The men will be
prosecuted for importing the women
for immoral purposes. The mems
names are Sugiyama and Yokota.
They are proprietors OF notorious dens
on Brooklyn and Spofford alleys.
The men went from this city to Vic
toria, B. c., on April "a to meet the
women, who had arrived as stow
aways. Inspector Geffeney informed
the Canadian authorities at Montreal
and the attempt to bring the women
into the United States through British
Columbia was for a time frustrated.
But the men then took the women to
New Westminster, B. c., and brought
them over to the American side at 2
o'clock one morning in a fishing boat
From that point they came to this city
by rail. Inspector Geffeney, who is
also an interpreter of Japanese, came
to this city with warrants last Tues
day.
Sugiyama was convicted of a similar
offense several years ago in the United
States District Court in this city. He
served a sentence of one years i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary at San
Quentin. Yokota's brother was de-
ported at about the same time for a
similar offense.

FRIENDS ANGRY
At FALSE TALE
Published Reports of Story
Saying Mrs. Quinn At
tempted Death Resented
NEVER IN ST. LOUIS
Wife of HOrseman and Heir
ess to Large Estate Is
Happy With Her Husband

Relatives and friends of Mrs. Charles
Quinn in this city are indignant at the
stories printed in a local morning paper
of accounts of her attempted suicide
in st. Louis. AS a matter of fact Mrs
Quinn has never been in st. Louis and
is now with her husband in Chicago,
living in a handsomely furnished fiat
at 5731 Madison avenue, one of the
SWEETEST residence districts of the mid
Eastern metropolis.
Whoever the unfortunate woman was
in ST. Louis, who shot herself for love
of a bartender, it was not the wife of
Charles Quinn. On May L Quinn and
his wife left San Francisco for an
Eastern trip and went first TO the Au-
ditorium Hotel Annex in Chicago. Two
weeks later they removed to a fiat on
Madison avenue. Never at any time
were they in ST. Louis.
Mrs. Quinn was formerly Miss Belle
Hopkins, niece of E. w. Hopkins of
this city and heiress to s1000,0O0 under
the will of Mark Hopkins one of the
Pacific line. She is said to be in the
receipt of $1,000 a month as an income
from her property. Two years ago she
met and married Charles Quinn, who
was bred in old Kentucky" and car
ried in his strain the love of pretty
women and fast horses that comes
from birth and breeding in the blue
Grass meadows.
On one of his periodical visits to the
racing tracks of the Pacific Coast he
met Miss Hopkins, and love ensued.
They were married and an ideal life OF
married happiness, according to their
friends, has been the result.
What steps are TO be taken to vindi-
cate Mrs. Quinn's good name and dis
pei all the rumors connecting her with
low intrigue remains to be deter
mined. The reports connecting her
with the attempted suicide in st.
Louis are strongly resented by her rel
atives in this city.

ENGELKE OVERWHELMED
WITH HIS MANY HONORS
Gallant Fireman, Who Rescued a
Baby at Risk of His Life, Re-
ceiyes Full Recognition.

Honors came fast yesterday to Aug
ust Engelke, the heroic fireman who
rescued, at the imminent risk of his
own life, the three-year-old boy, Lau-
rie Massa. from a burning fiat at Al
Vandewater street recently. Engelke
swung himself from the window of
an adjoining room, took the baby in
his arms and descended on a ladder
raised by his comrades.
At the meeting of the Fire Commits
sioners yesterday a communication
was received from Colonel A. AN
drews of the Diamond Palace asking
permission to present gold watch to
the valiant fireman. President New
hall of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children rendered a
bronze medal to the hero. A check
for S25 from the California Fruit
Canning Company, where Mrs. Massa
was employed, was sent to the Fire
Commission to be presented to En-
gelke.
The Fire Commissioners recon-
mended that Mayor Schmitz send En-
gelke to the ST. Louis Worlds Fair as
an exemplar of the kind of men who
compose the San Francisco Fire De-
partment. In addition the commits
sion granted him two months leave of
absence with full pay.
Dynamite will soon be among the
fire-fighting weapons of the San Fran
cisco Fire Department. The Fire Com
missioners made application yesterday
to the military authorities for permis-
sion to store quantities of the explo-
sive. In event of a great confagration
it is Indispensable that the department
should have it on hand. The value of
dynamite in blocking fires has already
been proved in the East
