FINN IS FIRE
COMMISSIONER
Supervisor Is Shifted, but
Appointment of Devote to
Succeed Him Is Delayed
LEGAL POINTS INVOLVED
Mayor and Ruef Look Up Au-
thorities Relative to OBJ
stacles In Charter Clause

Mayor Schmitz yesterday formally
announced the appointment Of Super
visor Thomas Finn as Fire Commits
sioner to succeed ]. G. Boyne, trans
ferred to the Police Board secretary
ship. Finn had previously filed his res
ignation as Supervisor with the Mayor.
Shortly after making the appointment
the Mayor was closeted with Abe Ruef
and Election Commissioner James A.
Devote for the purpose of discussing
the selection Of successor to Finn.
Ruef himself, whom the Mayor would
like to have champion his cause on
the Board of Supervisors, firmly de-
clined to accept the appointment on
account of pressure of other business.
The legal obstacles in the way of ap-
pointing Election Commissioner Devote
as a Supervisor were looked up in view
of the charter provision prohibiting
such an appointment within one year
after the expiration of his term.
1t was realized that the Board of Su
pervisors would refuse to allow Devote
to be seated under the provision named.
Then again it was also ascertained that
the only way in which Devoto's seat as
Supervisor could be contested would be
by quo warranto proceedings by per-
mission of the Attorney General, who
it was thought would decline to consent
to the proceedings and allow the Su-
pervisors to do Democratic politics.
Many authorities were looked up and
while no conclusion was arrived at it
was practically decided to take a
chance and appoint Devote Supervisor
tomorrow.
Alexander O'Grady will be appointed
Election Commissioner to succeed De-
yoto, although no official announcement
to that effect was made by the Mayor.

secreting two of her children, yester-
day appeared In Judge Hebbard's s
court in response to her husbands ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus
to gain possession of his youngest
child, Pauline, three and half years
old. 1t was shown that there had
been no return of service of the writ
and the court continued the hearing
until next Tuesday. In his affidavit
Salmon charged that his wife left
their home in Victoria in December,
1903, taking the child with her, and
that the little one is restrained of its
liberty at 643 Hyde street. where, he
says, the mother is breaking her mar
riage VOWS with one Lyman Hall.

A TRAVELLERS EXPERIENCE.

A party of gentlemen were gathered in
the lobby of a leading hotel the other
evening when an argument arose as to
what Red Raven really is. One gentle
man. who was travelling for a big house
in Indianapolis. ventured the assertion
that Notwithstanding the extensive ad-
vertising out of five in the party not
three could tell what Red Raven is. and
to what uses it is put. When the matter
was put to test it was found that the
Indianapolis man had lost, for not only
did they all know what Red Raven was,
but all used it regularly. AS one of the
men said:
Il have found, when travelling from
place to place, taking my meals at diff
ferent hours, sometimes on the train and
sometimes at the hotel. that my system
became deranged. resulting in a sluggish
liver. dizziness in the morning. 1assitude
and loss of>appetite. 1 had seen the ad-
vertisements of Red Raven. and chanced
to ask a druggist friend of mine what it
meant. You can imagine my surprise at
finding Red Raven was the remedy par
excellence, for just such q disorder as
was sufferingg from. l tried bottle be-
fore breakfast the next morning and
found prompt relief. l learned that they

MANY TO LOSE
THEIR PLACES.
Works Board Forced to Re-
trench in the Paving and
Sewer Repair Departments
MONEY rs RUNNING LOW
Supervisors Will Be Asked
to Appropriate $4,000 for
Work Absolutely Required
MONEY Is RUNNING LOW

The Board of Public Works yesterday
decided to make wholesale removals IN
the paving and sewer building depart
ments of the Bureau Of Streets owing
to inadequacy of funds for the purposes
named. The retrenchment will result
in a practical cessation of basalt block
next five months.
The saving of the funds now available
will be effected by the dismissal Of two
foremen, one hydrant man, four sewer
cleaners, twenty laborers, one nod car
rier and the men driving four double
teams and one single team in the sew
er repair department. This will result
in a saving of s109 per day. The board
will then be enabled to spend only
s2S9 so per day, instead of s34s as here
tofore. There remains but $40, 7S1 in the
sewer repair fund at the present time.
In the paving department there will
be dismissed five PAYERS, five rammers,
four laborers, two single teams and two
double teams, effecting saving Of SIT
per day. There Is s14.760 remaining In
the fund.
Commissioner Maestretti says there
are now ninety-six barricades in vari-
Gus portions of the city covering breaks
in the streets and sewers. 1t is more
than likely that these barricades must
remain UP till next July. as 1t will be
impossible to make the repairs now.
The board was obliged to expend $4,000
for an extraordinary break at the foot
of Fillmore street and $500 for one on
Tennessee street. These explain the
paucity of the funds. Then. Maestretti
says, only ss5,O00 was allowed by the
Supervisors for sewer reconstruction,
whereas the Board Of Works asked for
SIZE, 900. He says that much work had
been allowed to accumulate in the last
two months of the fiscal year 1903-1904.
This had to be met out of the funds OF
the present fiscal year, thus further re-
ducing the appropriation.
The Board of Works will adopt
resolution asking the Board of Super
visors to appropriate $4,000 out of an
expected surplus fund to do urgent re-
pair work on sewers at once.

in the East Hayes bought $4,000
worth of the cement company's bonds
for Main. Later Main alleged that
he had discovered that 500 shares of
the company's stock had been given
as q bonus with the bonds. Hayes and
his son Charles, now dead, had pos
session of the shares and Main claim
ed them. In the trial it was shown
that the bonds were sold through the
firm of Henshaw & Dingee, by whom
the younger Hayes was employed. w.
G. Henshaw, who made the sale, was
absent during the trial and there was
no evidence by any one else to show

MEAT AND BOOK TRUSTS.

In the United States district court
in New York city Judge Ray recently
handed down a decision Of consider
able interest to book dealers and
book buyers, says the Minneapolis
Journal 1t puts definite stop to
combinations of publishers to uphold
what they call publishers prices aud
prohibits them from combining to
prevent those who will not agree to
keep up prices from getting books.
The publisher in the case in conrt
had printed in Que OF their books
this notice:
The price of this book at retail is
81. No dealer is licensed to sell it
at retail at less price, and sale at
less price will be treated as infringe
ment of the copyright
A large department store in New
York having purchased a consgn
ment of the books, put its own price
upon them and was sued by the pub
Usher. The court held that the deal.
er, having bought the books in the
open market, became the sole owner
and could put what value he chose
upon them. Moreover, it was a VIC
lation of the Sherman antitrust law
for publishers to combine to attempt
to restrict the right of purchase by
dealers or to dictate the price at
which sales should be made. This
decision affected books, but its prin-
ciples are strikingly applicable to
the operations of the meat trust,
which not only attempts to but does
limit the production Of meat, fix the
price-to retailers and pick out certain
retailers as worthy and others un
worthy to become its agents.
