appeared yesterday in the familiar top
boots, slouch hat and long coat. KanO's
wife, formerly Miss Gertrude Boyle,
who married him in Seattle because
the laws of California prevented such
a union, was also present. She is a
graduate of the Hopkins Institute of
Art and has made busts of such cell
ebrities as John Muir, Jack London and
Joseph lie Conte. Austin Lewis, the
socialist, was in court as Sudos at

temple. He claims to be a blood rela-
tive of the mikado and a member of
the third degree OF nobility.
The arraignment of Sudo was put
over one week. The hearing of a ha-
beas corpus motion for his release from
the county Jail also went over a week.

FIRE ALARM BOX
ORDINANCE VETOED
Mayor Contends Measure Is
EncrOacElment on Police and
Fire Commission
Supervisors May Now Pass Act
Over Head of the
Executive

Mayor Taylor vetoed the fire alarm
box ordinance and returned it to the
board of supervisors yesterday. The
day was the tenth and last for his
approval or disapproval, and with the
veto distinct issue is taken between
the mayor and the board with respect
to its powers. Against his ruling in
the chair a week ago Monday that the
ordinance was invalid, because an en-
croachment on the charter powers of
the joint fire and police commission,
the bill was finally passed by 16
affirmative votes. Connolly and Muir
dock only upheld the mayors view.
When asked at the close of that ses-
sion if he would veto the ordinance as
an abuse of power, the mayor con-
tented himself with stating:
Well, there We're 16 votes for the
measure"
Fourteen supervisors can override a
veto, and some of the supervisors ex-
pressed the opinion that should the
mayor veto the bill this action would
follow. Doctor Taylor's few vetoes
have uniformly been accepted unani-
mously by the board.
1t is certain that this one will not be.
McLeran made strong point of the
fact that the commissions recon-
mendation meant the abandonment of
the manufacture of the boxes locally
and inserted a clause that the $500
appropriated should be expended only
for this purpose, instead of the pro
posed purchase of so Gamewen boxes.
His contention, as above stated. was
supported by Is of his associates in
spite of the mayors warning that the
members were meddling with another
departments business.
The mayors veto message will he
read next Monday and action will be
taken by the board the following day
week.
