CHECK SIGNED "TOOT TOOTv
The police are inclined to credit Bur-
nett with still more audacious piece
of impudence than the giving of a check
for nearly 5000 to Brackett of the au-
tomobile company on Fell street; of an
of a draft for $1,000 to Bank Cashier
Lyons of Concord. A stranger in an
automobile stopped in front of the Dia-
mond Jewelry Company's store at 5S3
Van Ness avenue yesterday, and. after
bargaining with Samuel Crutcher, a
clerk, for a 15-cent collar button, pre-
sented a check for $40 in payment, re-
ceiving the change. The stranger de-
parted 1885 and collar button to the
good. The check did not pass the re-
ceiving teller at the bank, who was un-
acquainted with the signer of the paper.
1t was signed 'Toot Toot."
The detectives think there is only one
man in the world with a nerve equal to
such an exploit, and that he is Albert
Burnett. Burnett denies modestly the
authorship of this "toot-toot' check.
He admits he has been rather free with
his penmanship of late, but says it will
all come out right.

FEELING INTENSIFIED

This feeling was intensified by the

sought 70 envelop its plans, and by the
read3ness with which the Cafifornians
aereed 10 recede upon the school ques-.
ton in the face of the overwhelming
continent of their own State. Politi-
clans at the capital reasoned that pow

Calffornians to run the risk of political
suicide by going contrary TO the senti-
rnents Of their constituents.
Members Of the California delegation

thought seemed TO have caused the

versation which he overheard In the office
OF the school between DIR. Chancellor

cipal Jackson. Attorney Fulton objected
to this testimony. on the ground that the
charges aliege that 'in an address to the

after o'clock Secretary Hine was again
placed on the stand, and Attorney Fulton
for the defense set out to show that the
minutes of the board were not always re-
liable. He asked the secretary to read
from the minutes Of the meeting Of Sep.
TENDER q, in which, on motion Of Mrs
Mussey, correction in the minutes OF
the meeting Of May % was made. 1t was
acknowledged that such a motion cor
recting the record was made in this case
but Attorney Mcnamara objected to the
line of questioning, and 1t was stopped.
Capt. Oyster was then put on the wit
ness stand to be cross-examined by Mr.
utes of the meeting Of August % did not
show an order of the board directing that
President Oyster see DR.. Chancellor and
ascertain his reason for not being present
at that meeting.
1T was a request from several mem
bers Of the board" replied the president.
why Is there no record of it?' he was
asked.
Il do not keep the minutes" he replied.
why Is there nothing in the minutes as
board as to what excuse DIR. Chancellor
nader" President Oyster was asked next.
Il suppose it was not mentioned In or
der to shield the superintendent said
Mr.. Oyster.
Not Authorized by Board.
The textbook matter came up next, and
Capt. Oyster stated that there was nc
authorization by the board of the order
to destroy the textbooks, as issued by DR..
Chancellor. Capt. Oyster also produced
the copy of a letter which he wrote to
Supt. Chancellor asking him to rescind
the textbook order.
1T has been testified here that DR..
Chancellor said you had introduced Cal
vim Chase to him, and said that Chase's
requests were to be respected; did You do
that?" Attorney Mcnamara asked Capt
Oyster. The witness replied that he did
not.
Did you make any requests of Dr.
Chancellor as to teachers, in behalf of
Chaser" Attorney Fulton asked President
Oyster.
II made a request in behalf of Mr.
Chase's daughter, because her record as
a substitute in music was good" replied
Capt. Oyster.

Capt. Oyster remembered that at the

no answer was given.
Attorney Fulton turned next to the text
book matter.
will you tell us. captain, how many
acquisitions for textbooks Evermann alone
Mr.. Oyster was asked.
II object" quickly interposed Mr.. Nc
Namara. This is reprehensible."
INDUCES in Sarcasm.
Anything that reflects on the illegal
acts of a member of this board is rep
rehensible," commented Attorney Leckie.
THAT question was decided by six
judges" protested Mr.. Mcnamara.
mot that point" persisted Mr.. Leckie.
do you not know that DR.. Chancellor
protested several times against Evermann
deciding what textbooks shall be used In
the schools?" Capt. Oyster was asked.
Mr.. Mcnamara objected.
I'VE want to show all about this text
book matter" protested Attorney Fulton.
Vice President Evermann, who had taken
the chair while President Oyster testified,
ruled that questions on the textbook mat
ter as asked by Attorney Fulton were out
of order.
Assistant Superintendent P. M. Hughes
was next recalled and he was asked about
telephone conversation he had with Dr.
Chancellor. He said DR.. Chancellor called
up anu asked VINO was trying TO ReS
information about the Latin and German
classes. and Mr.. Hughes told him it was
Prof. Evermann.
Il did not come here to act as a clerk
to the board of education, and I will
show them that they cannot adopt copy
books and courses of study" was Dr.
Chancellor's comment, according to Mr.
Hughes. The witness said he told DR.
Chancellor he was going to give Prof
Evermann the information the latter had
asked for. and with that DR.. Chancellor
hung up the receiver.
Assistant Supt. Bruce was called, and
was asked regarding a meeting held at
his house last fall at which DR.. Chancel-
lor had been present. He said that at the
request of DR.. Chancellor he called sew
eral repre- sentative colored men to his
house, and that DR.. Chancellor talked
freely at the meeting. When asked the
purpose of the meeting, Dr. Chancellor re-
piled. according to the testimony:
This meeting is called to protect
Bruce"
Criticism Of the Board.
Mr.. Bruce testified that DR.. Chancellor
said Chase was after him (Bruce), Chan
cellor was after Chase, and that the board
was after Chancellor. He referred to the
members Of the board of education, the
witness said. speaking of Mr.. Horner as a
