EX-Sheriff MCMann
IS Called to His
Rest.

Ex-Sheriff William McMann died
suddenly of heart failure yesterday
morning at his home, I'LL Washington
street. By his death San Francisco
loses citizen respected universally
for his political and business integrity.
When Mr.. McMann first came here
thirty-six years ago he Immediately
identified himself with those most ac-
tive in advancing the interests of the
municipality and his energy was felt
in public affairs up to the time of his
death.
He held the Office of Sheriff during
turbulent times. When an angry moo
surrounded the City Hall in 1883 and
demanded that Alexander Goldenson,
the murderer, be delivered UP to them
Sheriff McMann averted trouble by his
coolness and courage. On other siren
uous occasions he made himself felt

ing brought him to terms in the inter-

ests of good politics. Though Mr.. Nc
Mann was a Democrat he had hosts Of
friends in all parties.
Mr.. McMann was born in Glasgow
s1xty-six years ago. He came to Cali
fornia in 1852 and settled on the spot
where his present home is situated.
Then the surrounding country was a
series of sandhills. Shortly after his
arrival Mr.. McMann became a mem
Der of the volunteer fire department
and gained distinction during the fierce
confiagrations that swept over the city
in the early days. He was member
of the Assembly for several terms and
made his influence felt in that body.
In 1886 he was elected Sheriff of San
Francisco and made a record that will
still be remembered. He was the last
Sheriff to serve in the old City Hall
and the first in the new building.
The news of his death comes as
shock to his host of friends. Only
Thursday he acted as pallbearer to
former attache of his office, John Nc
Govern. He was in his usual cheerful
spirits when he bade goodnight to his
family and retired. Yesterday morning
he was seized with severe pains in the
region of the heart. A physician was
summoned and Mr.. McMann seemed
much relieved under treatment. But
two hours later he passed away. His
wife is eart-broken over her bereave-
ment
He is survived by a widow and four
children. Thomas S., Edwin F.. Walter
E. and Irene McMann. He was men,
ber of the Veteran Firemen's Associa-
ton, the Iroquois Club and the New
York Society. The funeral will take
place on Monday from his late resi-
dence, Ill Washington street.

SUICIDE WRITES
STORY OF LIFE
Will Loranger Jumps Off a
Ferry-Boat After Penning
History of His Troubles
BLAMES HIS RELATIVES
Tells of How They Tried to
Keep Him in Ignorance
of the Family Secrets

After writing the story Of his life
long troubles and addressing it to the
Chief of Police, Will Loranger, former
ly of Petaluma, jumped off the ferry
boat Encinal near Goat Island yester-
day afternoon. The body sank at once
and could not be found In the hat was
found note to the Chief Of Police.
saying that the story Of his life would
be found in his room, 118 Sixth street
Loranger left two stories of his life.
They show that he was insane. one
letter was dated February 8, the other
February 15. In rambling manner,
the letter tells that the writer was
abused by his family and bounded
from place to place till he decided to
seek death.
Loranger lays the blame Of his trou-l
bles to his deceased father. He also
critcizes his sister and other members
of his family whom he ina gined were
constantly wronging him and seeking
to keep from him secrets pertaining to
the history of the family.
He opens his last letter by saying
that when he was but a youth in Peta-
luna he was swinging on gate and
one of his companions showed him to
the ground, rendering him unconscious.
The next he remembered he was lying
on q lOuHSe SuneIlHS great pain, Willie
the members of his family. were calm
ly eating their dinner. This fact
seemed to disturb Loranger greatly
and he said he never forgot it.
He upbraids his folks for keeping
from from him the history of the life
of his cousin, Claude Austin. who died
in Montreal, Canada, when he was but
a youth. Loranger seemed to imagine
that this cousin was possessed of much
affection for him and also had an in
teresting history which his folks were
trying to hide from him.
He told of moving from Petaluma
and going to Santa Rosa, thence to
sacramento, where one of his sisters
worked in the Capitol He showed bit
terness against the sister.
The letters were written in ram
bling way and quoted little incidents in
his life that were of no consequence
He imagined that the whole world was
down on him and that the only friends
he had were always kept away from
him through the influence of his rela-
tives.
Captain Hemsworth failed to report
the suicide for hours. Not only so, but
he secreted the mans hat and note,
striving in mistaken zeal to suppress
the news.
PETALUMA, Feb. 1.-THE only
William Loranger known here left
Petaluma about ten years ago and has
resided with relatives in Sacramento
He left here when a mere child and
later married and got into difficulties

REV. JAMES H. WARREN DEAD.
Well Known Clergyman Expires Sud-
denly at Dayton. WASH

The Rev. James H. Warren, who

sions.

TENANT
WILL NOT MOVE
Millionaire Having Trouble
With Occupant of Premises
i'm the MonadnOck Block

Millionaire Herbert E. Law has dis
covered that he has an undesirable
tenant in his Market-street property
who is likely to be still there when the
new Monadnock building replaces the
one now in course of demolition, unless
the owner compromises a suit that was
filed yesterday by William Glynn.
Several months ago Glynn rented a
small frontage in the Bishop building
from Law and opened a cigar stand on
the premises. When DR.. Law recently
decided to replace the old structure
with a new one and awarded to the
American Hawaiian Engineering and
Construction Company a contract for
removing the old pile of brick, it de-
volved upon Law to give his tenants a
thirty days notice of his intentions in
order to permit them to move.
Unfortunately Glynn was overlooked
in the service of these notices that are
required by law. Ignorant Of this fact,
the contractors several days ago began
to demolish the cigar stand over its
protesting owners head. The top and
sides of the stand and a portion of its
floor and of the advertising signs on
the outside had been torn away and
board barricade placed in front of the
premises before it was discovered that
a serious error had been committed.
Attempts to pacify Glynn at that stage
of the proceedings proved futile. He
refused to bulge and has finally gone
to the courts to compel the contracting
firm, as DR.. Laws agents, to reim-
burse him for the damages done him,
setting the latter at $4750. OF this
amount Glynn, in his suit, claims $500
for property destroyed and the balance
for injury to his retail business.
Under the law a landlord is liable for
three times, the amount of the judg-
ment awarded in a case where it is
shown that he has interfered with the
business of a tenant, and in cases
where the landlord is guilty Of having
destroyed the property of a tenant ii is
his duty to first place the property in
the condition he found it before he can
force the occupant of the premises to
vacate. Consequently Glynn, although
hemmed in by boarded barricades and
doing no business as a result of the en-
forced concealment of his cigar stand
from public view, has the upper hand
against DR.. Law. Until the millionaire
sees fit to reconstruct the cigar stand
he will not be in a position legally to
serve on Glynn a notice to quit, and
the angry cigar vendor declares that
he will never quit until he is lawfully
compelled to.
Should Glynn carry out this deter
mination the Monadnock building will
have to be built under serious disad-
vantages, for Glynn's present quarters
are in the center of the Market-street
frontage and directly in the way of
completing the exterior portion of the
new structure. 1t is thought, however,
that Millionaire Law and his tenant
will finally compromise their troubles
and that in a few days what remains
of the Objectionable cigar stand will
have been moved to some other quarter
of the city.

BEGINS INVESTIGATION
OF DEFICITS IN FUNDS
Finance Committee Questions EN-
ployes of Works Board on Ex-
penditures for Paving.

penditures for Paving.
The Supervisors Finance Commit
tee yesterday began an investigation
into the violation of the one-twelfth
clause of the charter in the expendi-
lures made by the Board of Works out
Of the funds for repairs to ballast
pavements and sewer Aconstruction,
which have been largely oVerdraWn as
a result. The committee had received
report from Expert Cyril Williams
to the effect hat $4,000 had been ex-
pended out of the appropriation of
$4,000 for repairs to ballast pave
ments in seven months
Street Inspector Brandon testified
that from July, 1904. to January, 1905,
there were ten paving crews employed,
consisting of thirty men, who were
paid $115 per day. Brandon said that
eight extra teams were employed to
Mi In the break at the foot of Fillmore
street last September, which in
measure accounted for an increase in
the expenditures for 19O4-05 as COM
pared with 10000. Brandon said
there were four double teams and four
single teams hired to keep the paving
gangs at work and he did not agree
with the conmitte that one team would
have been sufficient for two paving
gangs.
P. Magee, one, of the civil service
PAYERS, who was let out when it was
ascertained that there was q deficit in
the fund, was the first witness called
relative TO the inquiry as to why civil
service men were dismissed, although
the teams were retained. Magee said
that double team would supply two
paving gangs and a single team only
one gang. Brandon disagreed with
Magee, saying that it would take seven
double teams for ten gangs to give
proper service. Magee was also con-
tradicted by another paver, ]. Lynch.
who said that one team could not
serve two gangs. The inquiry went
over.
The committee agreed to allow the
Board of Works to expend $250O out
of the fund for repairs to bitumen
pavements to repair the Fourth-street
bridge. Commissioner Aigeltinger
asked the committee to allow an ex-
penditure of $500 to rebuild a sewer
in Harriet street, which at present
backs into the Folsom-street sewer.
The request was taken under advise
ment.
