NJ MAH0N To BUILD
JACKSON WHARF.

The Harbor Commissioners yesterday
granted the contract for the building
of the Jackson-street wharf to James
A. Mcmahon, the lowest bidder. Nc
Mahons figure was S14,5S5, the others
ranging above this as high as $1S,771.
The commissioners acceded to de-
mand of the District Council of Paint
ers, granting an increase of from 81 to
$3.50 a day to the painters employed
by them along the water front. A re-
quest from the sweepers employed by
the State for an increase of so cents a
day was not granted.
Chief Engineer Norton submitted
plans for a wharf, 20 by 720 feet, to
be built In the China basin south Of
the Santa Fe property, and to cost
$4,000. The plans were approved and
the wharf will be erected at the ex-
pense of the Santa Fe.
The chief engineer also reported that
damage to the amount of $2259 had
been done by the Key Route ferryboat
San Francisco in collision with its
slip on August 81. The engineer has
given a contract to the Pacific Con-
struction Company for the repair work,
and the bill will be sent to the San
Francisco, Oakland and San Jose Rail-
way Company.
Charles Nelson & Co. returned a bill
for repairs to the Main-street wharf,
explaining that they were not respons-
ible for the collapse of the wharf, as
the commissioners claimed. The bill
was ordered remailed, the commission
ers contending that, as the collapse
was directly due to the overlooking of
the wharf by Nelson & Co., that firm is
responsible for the damage.
The Pacific Construction Company
requested permission to change the
material to be used in the reconstruc-
ton of the ferry tower from gal
vanized iron to reinforced concrete
This would involve an increased ex-
penditure of $4,000 over the s43,397,
upon which figure the galvanized iron
contract was let. The board referred
the matter to it's attorney for an opin-
ion as to whether or not the board had
a right to increase the expenditure
without. calling for an entirely new
contract!
The construction company was in
structed to remove the flag pole from
the tower as soon as possible.
Governor Pardee was present at the
session of the commissioners, but took
no active part in the proceedings.

GRAND JURY AFTER MATzNER.
Disappearance of the Steinman Murder
Witness to BE Investigated.

The disappearance Of Adolph Matz-
ner, one of the leading witnesses for
the prosecution in the case of Jacob
Steinman. charged with murder, will
be inquired into by the Grand Jury
Foreman John E. Brannan will bring
the matter to the attention of the
body at it's meeting today. There is
a suspicion in his and other minds
that the witness may have been tam
pered with.
IF the witness was prevented from
being present at the trial Wednes-
day." said Brannan, for some reason
unknown, it is very strange he neg
lected to notify the officials. His ac-
tions make matters look queer"
The Grand Jury this afternoon will
hear the report of the expert who has
been examining the books of the re-
lief committee. While no sensational
discrepancies are looked for, it is
likely the report will show needless
expenditures of money through various
sources. One member has already ex-
pressed himself to the effect that
needless help has been employed.
Attorney Hendry of the London and
Lancashire Company will be present at
the investigation and he is expected to
have the names of the foreign rein
surance companies that the Grand
Jury has been looking for.

BERLIN. Aug. 23.-The Government
medical department has issued a report
on the sanitary condition of the Prus-
sian bakeries and slaughter r-houses. to

sational prominence, one of them

The report says that many of the
butchering establishments were found
in very unclean condition Some of
them were located in dark cellars
where cleanliness was impossible, and
others had no facilities for the en-
ployes to wash themselves.
The Government inspectors found
particularly Objectionable conditions in
the bakeries. In one town boys -knead-
ed the dough with their feet and one
bakery was inhabited by cats and hens
In another town bakery oven served
ad interim as a goose pen. In MANY
places bakeries were found in
proximity to unsanitary appurtenances

his floor and yats were scrubbed only
once a year.
