FIREMEN WITHDRAWN
FROM SIX THEATERS
Acting on Decision of City Attorney
Commissioners Adopt Plan to
Reduce Expenses

AS a result of the recent opinion of
the City Attorney that members of the
Fire Department are entitled TO pay
while disabled on duty, even if the in
jury was not incurred during the per-
formance of such duty, the Fire Com
missioners yesterday afternoon decided
TO Withdraw six men who have been
stationed in theaters. The funds of
the department are running low and
many men are now on the disabled
list. As they must be paid in full
and salaries also awarded to their sub
stitutes, the Commissioners decided TO
withdraw the firemen stationed at the
Unique, the Broadway, the Cineo
graph, the Empire. the Novelty and
the Midway. The smaller show houses
were chosen as there is less danger of
panic and some of them are liable to
be closed at any time for failure to
comply with regulations regarding
exits.
Captain Frank Nichols of Truck 4
was before the Commissioners, charged
with failure to pay grocery bill. He
was informed that he would be sus
pended until he settled with his credi-
tor Through the mediation of a
money broker a satisfactory settle
rnent was made in less than ten min
utes. Commissioner Parry remarked
at the time that members of the de-
pGrtment must pay their bills for fam
lily supplies or leave the service.
The bid of the Bay Shore Water
Company to place six hydrants in the
Reis tract, near the San Bruno road,
a the rate charged by the Spring Val
ley Company, was acted upon favor
ably.
John LOTUS of Engine 35 was repri-
msnded. He explained that he had
been out all night at a wake and when
he reported on for duty in the morn
ing considered himself sober. His SUI
perior officers held a different opinion
and suspended him. He will be per-
mitted to resume work, but was ad-
vised to keep away from wakes in the
future unless he had a long leave of
absence in which to sober UP.

latest aspirant for the Office of speaker
of the House is T. E. Atkinson, who
was elected in the Thirty ninth District
after a bitter fight against an indepen-
dent candidate. Atkinson's friends say
he is sure of the support of the entire
San Francisco delegation and will
make a hard fight for the place. This
is Atkinson's first term, however, and
it is pointed out by party leaders that
his associates are likely to make this
a ground for opposing his candidacy.

DEATHS CALL
ANSWERED BY
RAILROAD MAN

SEATTLE, Nov. lit. c. Farrell,
assistant to the president of the Great
Northern Railroad and president of
the Great Northern Steamship Com
pany. died here to-day of blood poison
ing after a two months illness. He had
resided in Seattle for two years, com
ing here from North Dakota. Mr.. Far
rell will be buried at Elkton, y. Oak
Farrell was one of the best known
railroad men in the West, and his
death creates a vacancy that will be
hard to fill. His ability as a railroad
operator began to attract attention
about fifteen years ago, while he was
superintendent of the Chicago division
of the Chicago and Great Western
road. In 1890 he went to the Great
Northern as general superintendent Of
its Western division, and was with
that road when it passed through the
Cascades. Later he retired from the
railroad business and engaged in min
ing in British Columbia. He had not
been long out of active service when
he received an offer from the New
York people in control of the Pacific
Coast Company, which owns the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company, to ac-
cept the presidency of the holding cor
poration.
A year ago last January Farrell re-
signed his position with the Pacific
Coast Company to accept from j. j.
Fill the presidency of the Great North
ern Steamship Company. and accom-
panying this announcement was an
other that Farrell had been appointed
assistant to the president of the Great
Northern Railroad, of which Hill is
the head. immediately after joining
the Hill forces Farrell went to the
Orient for the purpose of arranging
agencies there for the Hill steamship
line and effecting traffic alliances with
large japanese and Chinese concerns.
Farrell was about 80 years of age
and is survived by a widow and one
child.

COURT REFUSES
TO INTERFERE
Supervisors Possess Right
to Postpone Election on
the Proposed Amendments
NO CHANCE OF APPEAL
State Constitution Grants
Discretionary Power to
Legislators of the City

There will be no special election on
the proposed amendments to the char
ter this year at least. The Supervisors
matter, and yesterday the Supreme
Court upheld their decision. The
propositions will probably be presented
to the people at the election to be held
next November, but the vote cannot be
ratified by the Legislature until Janu
ary, 1907. The case was brought to the
official attention of the Supreme Court
by the Board of Education. Norris
Lubiner, as a taxpayer, petitioned the
Justices for a writ of mandate COM
pelling the Board of Supervisors to or
der a special election on proposed
amendments to the charter. An at
tempt was made to show that the law
made it mandatory upon the city s
legislators to call an election after they
had formally decided to do so.
The Election Commissioners declined
to place the propositions on the Of
fetal ballot for the general election Of
last Tuesday and the Supreme Court
sustained them. Then a special cleo
ton was demanded. but the Board of
Supervisors refused to take action on
the ground that there was lack Of
funds.
he supreme OOuil, dIlCi ICNAC" "IhS
the statutory provision providing for
the calling of elections, says: we are
of the opinion that under this provision
of the Constitution the defendants
(Supervisors) are invested with full
discretion to order a special election.
or, if they deem that course inadvisa-
BILE, to wait until the next general cleo
ton TO submit the proposed amend
ments to a vote of the people"
The decision is final and no further
action in the matter can be taken by
any authority other than that of the
Board of Supervisors.

ELECTION COMMISSION
SUBPENAS p. III. MCCARTHY
Wants Him to Prove Allegations That
Voting Machines Failed to
Work Properly.

The Election Commission yesterday
served citation on P. H. Mccarthy
to appear next Monday night and
either retract or substantiate a state
ment made by him that he know of
eleven instances wherein the voting
machines had failed to work properly
On the morning after election Me-
Carthy complained to Commissioner
Mcclure that no provision had been
made for voting by ballots in the event
that the voting machines should break
down.
The voting machines have been a
success" said Mcclure, "and the two
cases reported to us of machines not
working were remedied at once and
were due to the carelessness of the
election officers or the voters them
selves"
Then it was that Mccarthy said he
knew of eleven instances of break
downs and that voters were unable to
vote at one machine for two and a half
hours. That is why Mccarthy has
been subpenaed by the commission to
prove his allegations or Withdraw W
them.
