Ne W PALACE READY
|. FOR ITS GUESTS.

Colonel ]. C. Kirkpatrick, managing
director of the Sharon Estate Company,
stated yesterday that the new Palace
Hotel on the corner of Leavenworth
and Post streets will be formally
opened on September 1. Although it
has been constructed with the idea of
accommodating only limited number
of guests, 1t has an attractive feature
that will be welcomed by the old pa
trens of the famous hosteIry-a hand
some dining-room and court similar to
those of the old Palace.
The dining-room has been built so
that 1t may be utilized for dancing pur-
poses, and 1T has already been engaged
for several society events this winter
The temporary hotel will remain in
commission until the new Palace rises
above the ruins on the old site at the
corner of Market and New Montgom-
cry streets. Plans for the latter are
now being drawn.

ASK 100000 FOR
SALv|NG PUEbLA.

Before United States District Judge
de Haven, without a jury, was tried
yesterday the suit for 100000 salvage
brought by Sudden & Christensen
against the steamship City Of Puebla.
The contention was as TO the sum that
should be allowed the plaintiffs as own
ers of the American steamer Chehalis
and the American schooner Norwood
for services rendered by those vessels
in towing the City of Puebla to the en-
trance of San Francisco harbor in jan
uary. 1905.
Frank & Mansfield, attorneys for the
complainant, sought to, establish by
witnesses that the City Of Puebla and
cargo were of such value as to make
100000 only a reasonable fee for sal
wage. The facts brought out were that
on December 81, 1905. the Puebla was
in distress 35 miles west of the Tilla-
nook Rocks, off the coast of Oregon,
and that in response to her signals
the Chehalis and Norwood towed her
20 the port of San Francisco. They ar
rived on the bar outside the Golden
Gate on January 4, 1906, at which time,
after crossing the bar the tow line be-
tween the Chehalis and Puebla broke
and while the rescuing vessels We're
heaving a line aboard, the tug Relief
darted in and bore away the tow.
Further hearing of the case was con-
tinued until August 81.

SUPERVISORS BALK
At FANCY DESKS.
Finance Committee De-
cries Luxurious Ten
dency of Works Board
REJECTS THE BILLS

The Supervisors finance committee
refused yesterday to approve the de-
mands of c. F. Weber, aggregating
S333s.35, for desks, furniture and office
supplies ordered by the Board Of
Works. The board will probably be
compelled to pay the bills out of Its
own funds.
The committee took exception on
Tuesday to the board buying high
priced desks on its own responsibility,
In view OF the fact that the desks grace
rooms In crude hard board shacks.
The furniture was ordered by the
Works Board without consulting the
Supervisors building committee. as
heretofore required. The demands were
made out on the general fund and the
committee ordered them TO be returned
to the Works Board with instructions
to draw on its own appropriation.
Included in the items are four die
tionaries and stands at $21 each. The
committee is wondering why the Works
Board needs such expensive books and
thinks 5o-cent dictionary is sufficient
for the prosaic communications and
resolutions indited by that body. Then
there are thirty desks at fancy prices,
including three at $3.50 each for the
Works Commissioners, which price the
committee considers exorbitant.
The committee also withheld pay
ment on demands of the Boys and Girls
Aid Society for the last five months.
aggregating $3903.35 for the care of
boys of the institution. 1t has been
ascertained that the boys are in Sono-
ma County earning money by picking g
fruit and the committee thinks the city
should not be called on to pay for
their maintenance while they are so
employed. Chairman Gallagher will in
terview the superintendent of the
home before action is taken on the
bills.
The finance committee reported in
favor of the proposed resolution pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the purpose of erecting a City Morgue.
The committee declared that the pres
ent quarters of the Morgue are made
quate and site for Inc new building
will be selected later.
The committee recommended that
$4,000 be allowed the Board of Works
to build a sewer in Market street, be-
tween East and Sansome. The Works
Board adopted a resolution recently
that the cost estimate of the sewer be
increased to $10o, 900, but the communi-
cation TO that effect has not as yet
reached the finance committee. The
matter will be investigated further be-
fore final action by the board.
The committee ordered the sum of
$500 paid to Marsden Manson as COM
pensation for investigating water sup
plies as associate engineer.
The committee reported in favor OF
the request of the Board of Education
that the sum of $500 be allowed 70
purchase tools for the Polytechnic High
| School. 1t first directed that the money
be taken out of the surplus fund of
ieo5-1906. but postponed definite ac-
tion as to what fund shall be used
until next Monday.

of limestone land near Santa Cruz to

acres of heavy timber and a mill A
railroad is TO be built and the company
will expend $1,ooo,oeo in improving the
purchase.
Already the company has nearly COM
pleted a cement plant which will open
in December with a daily output of
5000 barrels. To facilitate the building
of the works the Southern Pacific laid
a spur track from Santa Cruz twelve
miles to the plant. Preparations are
already being made by the cement COM
pany TO erect another plant with a like
daily output
Packard, who headed the corporation
which owned the land, sold 3e6 shares
out of 500 TO Dingee and DR.. Bachman.
On the tract are endless limestone de-
posits and it is estimated that there
are 20o.000.0oe feet of prepared lumber.

output and the plant at Napa turning
out COCO barrels of cement daily, the
company is figuring on enlarging its
Pacific Coast field by the erection of a

Edward Waters, saloon keeper in
the Richmond district. started for Point
Richmond yesterday morning intent on
doing murder. He boanied a Suffer-

being of a talkative disposition en-
gagged in conversation two men sitting
next to him. First he talked of the
weather. switched to the rehabilitation
of the city and finally impaired this
information:

To make it clear that he meant busi-
ness he at the same time exhibited a
revolver
The two gentlemen to whom Waters
was talking were none other than De-
tectives Armstrong and O'Dea. When
they heard this startling declaration
by Waters they i'm mediately placed him
under arrest and locked him up on a
charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
When he found himself behind prison
bars Waters informed the sleuths that
he was a very heavy josher and that
he was only trying a new one on them
when he made that remark about the
Point Richmond man. But the detec-
tives were incredulous, so Waters must
dance to the music.
