TOO MANY PUPILS
FOR SCHOOLS.

So rapid has been the increase IN the
number of children attending the public
schools that the Board OF Educatlon
has arranged to Immediately double
the size of eight of the temporary
buildings. Directors Boyle and ollver
declared that the increase in the at
tendance of the pupils is unquestion-
ABLY evidence of the rapidity with
which San Francisco is gaining in pop
ulation.
The schools which will be Increased
in size have six rooms at present and
six more will be added to each OF them
as fast as the work can be accom-
plished 1t was believed at the begin
ming of the school year that the tenn
porary buildings then in use would be
of sufficient capacity until permanent
buildings were provided. and this over
crowding comes as surprise to the
school authorities.
Following are the schools which will
be enlarged: Mission Grammar School.
Mission street near Sixteenth John
SWEET Grammar, McAllister street near
Cough; Franklin Grammar. Eighth and
Harrison streets; Adams Cosmopolitan
School, Eddy street near Van Ness
avenue: Mckinley Primary, Fourteenth
| and Castro streets; Bryant Primary,
York street near Twenty third; Han
cock Grammar, Filbert street near
Jones. and the Lafayette Primary
School, Greenwich street near Webster.
Some of these schools are in locali-
ties where it did not seem possible
that the population would increase for
long time. The Hancock, for instance,
is in the hearttof a large burned dis
trict, and where the children have come
from is matter of wonder to the
school directors.
Since the earthquake there have been
| built by the school department t.-irty
seven temporary schools. The cost of
these, it is stated, was exceptionally
small the saving being due to the fact
that none of them were contracted for,
but each was built under the personal
supervision of some member of the
board.
BY the beginning of the new term,
| it is stated, every gramar school in
the city which was destroyed by fire
will have been replaced by temporary
buildings. The board has been handi-
capped somewhat by difficulty in get
ting workmen and material.
It is now contemplated to construct
a temporary Polytechnic High School
on the new site south of the park not
far from the Affiliated Colleges

RESIGNS PLACE IN
HEALTH OFFICE.

Mrs. Mollie Turner, who has been for
ter years a clerk in the Health Ofice,
las filed her resignation with the
Health Board and also with the Civil
Service Commission, she being a civil
service employe. The Health Board
will meet next Thursday to take ac-
ton on the resignation
In her resignation Mrs. Turner as
cribes no reason for retiring from the
position, but behind it all lies a story
OF a woman being forced to give up
her means Of livelihood because of the
dcmineering tactics Of Chief Sanitary
Inspector Hassler, who has left town
temporarily in order to escape possible
censure for his unfriendly attitude to-
word a woman clerk.
Mrs. Turner's friends are highly in
dignant at Hassler, who, they say,
nagged the woman into a state of
nervousness. and they will bring the
matter 10 the attention of the Mayor.
There has been considerable fric-
tica between Hassler and Mrs. Turner
for several months, eliminating in a
scene a few days ago, in which Mrs.
Turner minced no words in telling
H2ssler what she thought of him The
quarrel was caused by Hassler repri-
manoing Mrs. Turner for some trivial
matter
Mrs Turner administered a tongue
lashing and then determined to stand
nc more Of his actions. A popularity
Of the affair Is that Hassler is in no
sense the superior oflcer Of Mrs. Tur-
ner, but is, like herself. a mere sub
ordinate in the Health ONCE.
Dr. Ward, president Of the board, is
out OF town and knows nothing OF
Mrs. Turner'S resignation.

FORMER SENATOR KELLY
LOSES PLUMBING JOB
No Longer Draws $5 Per Diem From
Custom House, but Does
Piece Work.

Former State Senator Henry Kelly
of San Francisco has lost his Federal
job as plumber to the Custom house
and Appraisers building. It was a par
ticularly nice plum, yielding him IN
income of S. per diem all the year
round. Sundays and holidays excepted
Mr.. Kelly was appointed Federal plum
ber on February 1, 1898, and faithfully
performed his duties until September
l, 1906, when the position was abolish
ed, the Treasury Department preferring
to have repairs made by private con-
tract per each individual job. Since
September ] Mr.. Kelly has had several
small jobs, payable at the going mar
ket price of plumbers labor and mater
ial and he is no doubt doing better
than he was at the $5 per diem. Per-
sons familiar with the Custom house
say that the work of repairing will
cost the Government more under the
new plan than the old.
The plumbing is rotten said a
Federal employe yesterday. 'It is old
style and was put in thirty years ago
1t is always being repaired and al
ways needing repairs

story of the assault. He said that he
was approached by the FIVE men, one
of whom struck him terrific blow on
the jaw. He fell to the sidewalk, but
Immediately arose and gave battle.
Superior numbers, however, proved too
much for him and he sank to the
ground second time from shower
of blows and kicks. He did not arise
this time. as his assailants continued to
kick him. After he had been Beaten al
most into insensibility the five men
departed. He managed to reach the
hospital, but after telling of the story
of the assault lapsed into unconscious
ness
Bradley cannot give any motive for
the assault on him Detective Bell has
been detailed on the case.

same offense. In other words. if Lyon
should be arrested and tried by the
State or Federal authorities, he would
let the matter drop; otherwise, he
would investigate the matter and. If
he found Lyon to blame, he would sus-
pend or revoke the mates license.
