MURDER MYSTERY
IS UNSOLvEO.

The mystery concerning the murder
of John Pf1tzner, the McAllister- street
storekeeper,- who was struck down by
a thug armed with a heavy iron bar
and robbed of $3.50 while fitting a sup
posed customer with shoes, is no
nearer solution than in the beginning.
Detectives George Graham, Harry
Reynolds and Bert Wren have been
steadily engaged on the case, but re-
port that there is no tangible clew
and that there is no likelihood of the
immediate arrest of the murderer.
One or two clews were followed out
yesterday by the detectives, but each
proved misleading and nothing has
been accomplished.
Joseph A. Stulz, Public Administra-
tor, was appointed yesterday as special
administrator of the murdered mans
estate The order was made by Judge
Graham, as it is desired to sell the
supply of shoes and cigars at the store
of the deceased. In making search of
the premises Deputy Administrators ].
NJ Newbert discovered that the cash
till was untouched and that there was
s5.35 in the box. The stock of goods is
valued at $3.50, and in addition 10 this
there is on deposit In the Anglo-Cali-
fornian Bank to the credit of the dead
man the sum of S30760.

URGE WIDENING Of
DUPONT STREET.

E. J. LIE Breton and Rev. Father Otis
of st. Marys Paulist Church appeared
yesterday before the Board of Public
Works in support of petition filed by
property owners that Dupont street be
widened from Bush street to Mont
gomery avenue. 1t is the desire of the
petitioners that the street be widened
by thirty feet so as to make 1t conform
to the width of Grant avenue.
The petition further states that If the
Board of Public Works does not see its
way clear TO widen the street to Mont
gomery avenue, that 1t be widened be-
tween Bush and California streets.
The property owners also petitioned
that the winding road as projected in
the Burnham plans for the change in
the street system be built in the block
bounded by Dupont, Stockton, Pine and
California streets instead of in the
block to the south bounded by Bush,
Pine, Stockton and Dupont streets, as
proposed by Burnham. The petitions
assert that the property in the block
described can be bought for 100000
less than that in the other block. Be-
sides, the grade will only be per cent,
against per cent In the block favored
by Burnham. Both petitions were re-
ferred to City Engineer Woodward for
a report.

Mayor and Supervisors
Discuss Location of
City Hall Building
TO MAKE REPORT

"A conference was held yesterday be-
tween Mayor Schmitz and fourteen
members of the Board of Supervisors
for the purpose OF taking Immediate
steps to build g temporary City Hall
Tor the accommodation of the municipal
deFartments. 1t is proposed to have
the structure ready for occupancy be-
fore the winter rains set in.
A number Of plans were discussed,
but the one that met with most favor
was for the erection of a temporary
building on the public library site in
the block bounded by. Fell. Hayes and
Franklin streets and Van Ness avenue.
The Mayor rather favored the Nc
Creery site at Eighth and Mission
streets. but it was the consensus of
opinion of the Supervisors present that
the building should,n be erected on
private property, as it would be the
subject of too much criticism.
The offer of a capitalist to erect a
building on Post street opposite Union
Square for City Hall at rental of
$500 was not seriously regarded. The
location of the building on Union
Square or Jefferson Square was also
discussed, as we'll as the proposition

mendations at the boards meeting in

bill is that notes falling due on holt
day shall be paid by the party giving it
on the day following the holiday, If
the holiday should fall upon Sunday,
then the following Monday would be
declared holiday and the note would
not have to be paid until the following
Tuesday. And if the note should fall
due on a Sunday that is not holiday,
it would not have to be paid until the
following Monday. The bill is directly
opposite to the one which has been in
force up TO this time, The former bill
provided for the paying of the notes on

cITYs SCHOOLS ARE CROWDED
Pupils are Turned Away For Want of
Room

For the first time IN the hi tory of
the Amerious public schools number
of pupils were turned away yesterday
morning for want of room. The at
tendance this year is by far the largest
since the schools were established
thirty years ago, and while large add.
tions to the Furlow School building
have been made since then. and Rees
Park School building added, the facil-
tiles are found wholly inadequate to
the demand. The attendance at the
public schools at this session has al
ready gone over the "high water"
mark, aud necessity points to another
building still at an early date. The in
creased attendance upon the city
schools reflects the rapid and substan-
tIal growth of Americue, which at no
time in the past was ever more pros
perous or evidenced greater develop
ment upon ell lines.

MORE EQUIPMENT FOR CENTRAL
Forty Engines Coming to Relieve Sit
uation.

The rapidly incr essing traffic of the
Central Railway necessitated the plac'
ing. some time ago, of orders for addi
tional equipment, and the company
expects the delivery of forty new loco
motives within q month or two. This
additional rolling stock will greatly
facilitate the handling of freight and
passenger trains and, consequently,
batter schedules. Lsrger engines will
b9 put on the Southwestern division
then, no doubt, aud there will be an
end to the cry Grain late" so very
often heard now. For some time the
company has been replacing the rail on
this division with eighty pound rail,
the heaviest used on the system. Al
ready this heavy rail has been laid from
Macon TO Montezuma, and the work
ing force is now coming with ittowards
Americus, With better rolling stock
and heavier rails, there will soon be a
very marked improvement in condi-
tions on this division of the Central.
