For an hour and half the District
Attorney was on his feet, tearing to
shreds the unstable structure of evil
dence built up by the defense. He took
the attitude of the defendant as a
subject, and his denunciations were
also directed against Maestretti and
his appointees as election officers.

MAY Be HEALTH
BOARD MEMBER
DR.. Sidney Worth, Homeo-
path, Appears to Be Reason
ably Sure of Appointment

While no definite announcement was
made yesterday of the appointment of
a successor to DR.. Joseph Poheim on
the Board of Health, it is thought that
DR.. Sidney Worth will be ap-
pointed to The place
The selection of the new member of
the Health Board is said to have been
left to DIR. James w. Ward and it
is reported that Ward is anxious to
have DR.. Worth as his colleague. It
now remains for Mayor Schmitz to
announce the appointment officially,
and this will be done either Tomorrow
or next Tuesday.
DR.. Worth is a graduate of the home
opathic school, which is one of the
main reasons why DR.. Ward is favor
ably disposed to recommending his ap-
pointment to the Mayor.
Another physician who has been seri-
ously considered for the place is Dr.
Edgar Reeves Bryant. Bryant grad
uated from the Hahnemann Medical
College of Philadelphia in 1891 and was
certifcat ted by the California State
Medical Examiners in 1897. Both Worth
and Bryant are highly regarded by
DIR. Ward.
The proposed shifting of several city
ObiSie1iS, an dStOuHl VI WHICH appeared
i'll yesterdays Call, caused consider
able comment among politicians and
City Hall attaches. The Mayor con-
firmed the announcement that Super
visor Finn had consented to be trans
ferred to the Fire Commission. Just
where Fire Commissioner Boyne will
be put has not been definitely settled
although the position of Registrar
seems to be the most desirable of any
to which he might aspire, except, per-
haps, that of Chief of Police, with
which gossip has already. connected his
name.
There seems to be some charter pro-
vision in the way of Election Commits
sioner Devote being appointed to the
Board of Supervisors by the Mayor.
The charter makes an Election Com
missioner ineligible to hold any other
Office until one year after the expira-
tion of his term. This provision, how
ever, did not stand in the way of the
transfer of School Director Boyle from
the Election Commission one year ago.
If Devote is ineligible to be a Super
visor uEder the charter provision,
which some attorneys regard as un-
constitutional then the Mayor will
look for another man to defend his
cause in the board. The name of Boyne
has been mentioned in that connection,
but the Mayor says that this rumor
has no foundation in fact. Then in
some quarters ii is said that Fire
Commissioner Barrett is the man, but
this could not be confirmed.

Jacob A. Riis, earnest builder of
American citizenship, famous for his
great work in the slums of New York,
and of high place in the modern world
Of letters, was the guest of the Com
monwealth Club at dinner in the ball
room of the Palace Hotel last evening.
There were 200 members of the club,
men and women, to enjoy the few
hours with this singular and distin-
guished visitor.
The decorations were pretty, the
presence of women gave unusual charm
to the banquet board, and there was
warm cordiality throughout, for Jacob
Riis has gained strong hold on the af-
fections and admiration of San Fran
cisco folk since his recent advent by
way of the lecture platform. Undoubt-
edly President RooSevelt's interest in
the man has given him impetus in pop
ular estimation, but the philanthropic
worker has made good himself so far
as the opinion of Californians is con-
cerned.
Such was the forceful testimony at
last nights gathering. The 200 diners
had heard his several lectures and he
won their highest esteem. They had
learned of the earnestness of the man
who for years and years tugged and Ia

President H. Weinstock in his intro
ductory remarks said the Common
wealth Club had departed from for the
evening from its usual sphere as a
working body to pay "well-merited
tribute TO self-appointed public serv-
ant. Jacob Riis," he said, has de-
servedly won the gratitude of the
American people by showing them how
they can help themselves"
A letter was read from Governor Par

he wrote, with whom / would rather

President Weinstcck read the follow

Roosevelt and Riis are a powerful
team for civic good" added Weinstock
when the applause had subsided. He
then proposed a toast to President
Roosevelt, "a man among kings, king

and the happy sentiment stirred by the

THE Associated Charities" was the
subject of a brief discourse by Rev
Charles r. Brown of Oakland. He had
some interesting statements TO make

countered in trying to help those who
could not help themselves.
