LEE WAY FOR BOARD.
Of ELECTIONS.
County Attorney Burke
Renders Decision on
Coming Appointment
INJ'ERPRETS LAW

If the Board of Election Commission
ers finds tbere are not enough electors
who have registered thirty days prior
to the primary to constitute the vari-
Gus precinct boards it may, in the
opinion of City and County Attorney
Burke, muster in such other electors
as are neccnsary. In short, according
to the boarsrs adviser, it is the duty
of the Commission to see that there
is an opportunity to vote. even If the
letter of ths law is not carried out
The fact that in some of the precincts
in the burned district registration has
been so slow that there will not be
sufficient electors registered before the
thirty day period TO constitute the
election boards caused the Commission
to ask what course it might follow.
The gist of the opinion is as follows:
Il therefore advise you that pri-
mary election would not be invalid or
void because the members of the pre-
cinct election board were not regis
tered electors for at least thirty days
prior to THAR appointment, provided
that no injury, wrong. fraud or imposi-
tion had be-n done or committed as a
result of the appointment of an cleo
tion board whose members did not pos
sess the qualifications"

ALASKA PACKERS
CANNERY BURNS.
Phantom Bering Sea Goes
Up in Smoke With Its
Stock and Machinery

The Alaska Packers Association has
lost q cannery on Bering Sea by fire.
The amount of money involved is not
ascertained, but is supposed to be quite
large. Henry Fortmann, president of
the association. said yesterday news
has been received that the fire had
taken place. but he had no further par
ticulars.
Along Bering Sea the company has a
string of large canning establishments.
tu which laborers are taken from this
city annually. The cannery that was
burned is known as the letter q. the
company designating the different
plants by letters. The eonflagration
took place In the height of the season
and a large amount of canned goods
and machinery was destroyed and oper-
ations in the vicinity brought to a
standstiil.
The news arrived in this city in frag-
mentary shape. The fact that the can
merry had besn wiped out Is reported to
have been brought over the mountains
by an Indian runner who was given a
written message to be sent by tele-
graph to San Francisco. 1t was de-
layed in transmission. President Fort
mann says that he expects to have the
full particulars to report to the stock
holders in the association in about ten
days. when a steamship will arrive at
Seattle. Frem there the details will be
telegraphed to this city.

RULING OF COURT
FAVORS OWNERS.
Decision Is Adverse to
Tenant That Sublet
Property He Rented
LEASE FORFEITED

Under a ruling of Judge Trout
yesterday, which was sweeping in its
requirements as concerned the defend
ants in the case at bar, many OF the
parties who have leases on property
on Fillmore. Van Ness and other streets
of San Francisco that have recently
doomed will not be the gamers by the
sudden Increase in rentals.
A majority of the leases contain a
clause to the effect that anv trans
fer or subIetting renders the lease
null and void The court holds this
clause must be obeyed to the letter.
There are hundreds of suits in un-
lawful detainer pending in both the
Justice and the Superior courts of this
county and the decision will undoubted-
ly have direct bearing.
The case heard by Judge Trout was
that of Conrad Gatzert against j..
Lerk and the Chinn- -Beretta Optical
Company. Gatzert leased to Lerk the
premises at 1921 Fillmore street for
$40 a month, with the proviso, SO 1t
was contended, hat Lerk was not TO
transfer his lease. The tenant made
arrangements, however, with the orti-
cal company mentioned. TO lease the
premises for $120 a month 'iatzert
brought suit for restitution of the
premises and for damages.
After the testimony was heard. Judge
Trout instructed che jury to bring in
a verdict for the rlaintIfr, ordering
the restitution OF the premises ana
the forfeiture of the leass.. and also
that the optical company be required to
pay Gatzert damages in the sum Of
$50 and that Lerk pay $500.

WEBB WILL DECIDE
ACTS LEGALITY.
States Right to Transfer
Yosemite to Federal
Authorities in Doubt

The Yosemite Valley Commissioners
have asked Attorney General U. S.
Webb to pass upon the constitutional
ity of the act giving Yosemite Valley
to the Federal Government for ma
tional park. They will not turn over
the valley to the Government until
the Attorney General has given his
opinion. They also ask his opinion of
their right to take from the valley or
to give to the Government the 100000
worth of State fixtures that have been
built during the last ten years The
principal fixture is the electric station,
costing about 10000
Attorney General Webb has promised
to give his opinion early next week,
so that the State can determine its
course of action. If he declares the act
to be constitutional the transfer will
be made at once.
The commissioners say that they are
anxious to see the valley turned over
to the Government as soon as possible,
but they wish to be sure they are
acting legally. Some of the commits
sioners are of the opinion that the act
is Illegal
Meanwhile the Federal authorities
have sent Major Benson and his troops
into the valley, although State Super
intendent Harlow is still technically in
charge.

A committee from the Howard-street

NJ 'CREERY'S OFFER.
NOT FAVORED.
Gallagher Wants New
City Hall Built on Lot
OwnedbyMunicipality
SITES AVAILABLE

Supervisor Gallagher stated yester-
day that he is opposed to the accept
ance of the offer of Andrew McCreery
to allow the municipality to erect a
temporary City Hall on his property on
the corner of Eighth and Mission
streets, the city to pay nothing beyond
the taxes on the land. Gala CHER is q
member of the special committee ap-
pointed by the board 70 confer with the
Mayor on the proposition of accepting
McCreery's offer. The committee has
so far been unable to arrange a con-
ference with the Mayor Gallagher
said:
IT do not know how closely the
Mayor is welded to the plan to build
the City Hall on McCreery's lot, but he
may not regard it In the same light
that l do. l see some very grave OBJ
jections to accepting the offer. In the
first place, why should the city pay
taxes amounting to $4,000 per year on
the lot when it possesses a number of
more desirable sites which can be util-
lied for the purpose? There are Union
Square, Hamilton Square and several
lots on which municipal buildings were
destroyed by the fire that are available.
1--WE certainly would be criticised for
accepting an offer which requires the
city to pay rental after a certain term,
should the permanent City Hall not be
erected in time Then, again, Mr. Nc
Creery's title might be brought into
question and this would subject us to
the exactions of a new landlord, who
could charge us any amount he pleased
as rental for the site.
81 am of the opinion that the $780,
600 set aside in the budget to pay rent
ais of buildings ased by the city can
be utilized to build temporary struc
ture on some site belonging to the mu-
nicipality I will advocate that method
of procedure when we hold our confer
ence with the Mayor"

SIX-STORY STRUCTURE
ON MISSION AT FOURTH
Eighty Thousand Dollar Building
to Be Erected for Mrs.
E. K. Latham.

Another tangible evidence of the
determination of property owners
quickly to rebuild down town was
made apparent yesterday when Mac
Kenzie & Underhill made final ar
rangements to erect a six-story and
basement Glass B commercial build
ing for Mrs. Emily X. Latham on the
south side of Mission street, seventy
feet west of Fourth The building will
be 4ox160 feet. extending through to
Minna street. and fronting thirty feet
on the latter thoroughfare
This building will replace a FIVE
story Glass c structure destroyed by
the fire. Mackenzie & Underhill state
that work on the new building would
have begun before the bricks had
cooled after the fire but for the fact
that the insurance companies would
not grant permission to remove the
walls until about ten days ago. No
sooner had that permission been OBJ
tanned than operations were COM
menced. The building will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. e. G. Bolles
is the architect.
Contracts were let yesterday for
permanent three-story frame struc-
ture to be used for stores and apart
ments on the northeast corner of
Thirteenth and Valencia streets for
the 1. c. Moore Estate Company. The
Cost OF the DuliufHB Will De ABOUT
$1,000. Edward @. Boiles, the archi-
tect. says he will have the building
ready for occupancy in ninety days.
A. ]. Rich & Co. have moved their
oflces to 80 Kearny street near Mar
ket, adjoining Maskey's candy store

He argues that the board should not
delegate TO itself the power TO grant
special privileges to any one, as the
