Educators Protest to Supervis-

Contrary to Charter

School Commissioners Boyle, Alt

terday that the board of public works
was expending the 100000 budget ap-
preparation for the repair of schools
totally without regard to the wishes
of the educational commission and con-
trary to the spirit and provisions of
the charter The committee refrained
from mixing directly in the contro-
versy. but yesterday drafted q formal
letter to the mayor calling his atten-
ton to the fact that the two depart
ments were at loggerheads and asking
him to use his influence to straighten
out matters. Boyle alleged that Ca
sey's board had already expended s75,-
000 of the total 100000 In the fund
with nine months of the school year
still ahead and that the repairs made
were not along the lines recommended
by the board of education,
The committee recommended an ap-
preparation Of $1,000 to enable the city
attorneys office to continue the Spring
Valley litigation; $4,000 for plans and
$4,000 for equipment of the CONNER
Stevenson street between Third and
Fourth: $1,000 for Sansome street;
$4,000 for repairs at the county JAIL
and $1,000 for furnishing the health
boards new quarters in Mission street.

TALESMAN THINKS
RUFF is INNOCENT
Heney Finally -Disqualifies
Henry D. Byrne, Friend of
George Keane

Henry D. Byrne, who had been
passed by the defense after lengthy
examination as to his qualifications to
sit as a Juror I'm the trial of the Ruef
case, was challenged for cause by Spe-
cial Prosecutor Francis ]. Heney yes
terday morning after two hours of
questioning, and the challenge was al
lowed. Twenty-seven additional tales
men followed one another from the
jury box in rapid succession during the
day on challenges by the defense for
cause. The panel was exhausted and
an order issued by the court for a
yenire of 40 to report at o'clock
Monday. The defense still has five
peremptory challenges at its disposal
and the prosecution two. so that it is
probable the remaining two members
of the jury will not be secured before
Tuesday or Wednesday.
When court convened yesterday
morning Heney took up the examina-
ton of Byrne, and quickly developed
the fact that the talesman was very
friendly with George Keane, who for
years was associated with Ruef In poll
tics. and was private secretary to Eu-
gene Z. Schmitz during the first term
of the CRATER as mayor. The prose-
cutor went thoroughly into the rela-
tions of Byrne and Keane, Henry Ach
taking exception to almost every Ques-
tion that was asked. The prospective
juror. although uneasy, did not dis
qualify himself until suddenly Heney
asked:
AT the present time you believe
Ruef Is innocent, do you not?"
YES" replied Byrne, quickly.
Ach had tried TO interpose an objec-
ton. but the talesman spoke too
quickly. The chief counsel for Ruef
then said:
It's his duty to believe him inno-
cent"
1T is not his duty to believe him In
nocent," rejoined Judge Lawlor. The
court then. stated that the talesman
should merely presume the defendant
to be innocent and allowed q challenge
for cause by the prosecution.
At the morning session Judge j. ".

MATE MUST FACE
CHARGE OF MUTINY
Second Officer of Schooner Dis
rated for Talking Back
to Captain

Charles Osborne, second mate OF the
schooner Metha Nelson, which arrived
Thursday night from the Friendly
islands, will have TO face the serious
charge of melting to mutiny the men
over whom he was placed in authority.
The charges are preferred by Captain
john Jacobsen, master of the vessel
Since September II Osborne has been
under arrest. On that date he was re-
lieved from duty and ordered to his
room. He was allowed on deck during
the daytime, but was kept under strict
surveillance.
Captain Jacobsen was and still is in
fear of an attempt on his life by his
mate. The skipper has gone armed
ever since he disrated Osborne, and at
night slept with a loaded revolver at
his side. For the last five nights of the
voyage, he said yesterday, he did not
undress and slept but few hours.
The trouble began at Neiafu, the port
of Vavau island. where two members
of the crew deserted and set up house
keeping, each with a duslSy bride The
men were arrested, brought back to the
ship and placed in irons The irons
were rusty and Osborne is said to have
protested against the use of them as
unnecessarily cruel
Things came to q climax when Cap
tain Jacobsen asked the second mate
who was aloft with a sailor how much
longer he was going to be making some
repairs.
Osborne told the captain what he
thought of him in the plain, unvar-
nished vernacular of the sea. He said
what he thought and he told what he
would do to the skipper. Captain ia
cobsen there and then disrated Osborne
and ordered him to his room.
After that. says Captain Jacobsen,
the mate lost nc. opportunity Of incit-
Ing the crew to insubordination, but the
men proved loyal
Osborne. who is a a<Scotchman says that
the real trouble lay in the fact that he
mad not been born in Scandinavia.
lie admits having used abusive lam
guage to the captain but denies having
threatened his life or having done any
thing that could be construed as in
citing the crew to mutiny

BOARD TO FORBID
SHOW NEAR CHURCH
Supervisors Police Committee
Agrees to Recommend Pro-
hibitory Ordinance
Father Caraher and Other Cler-
gymen Defeat Attorneys
for Show Places

The building of nickelodeons. skating
rinks and other places of amusement
within 200 feet of any church or school
will be forbidden by the board of super
visors at next Mondays session il
the members abide by the unan-
imous recommendation made yes
terday by the police committee
Father Caraher and other clergymen
against the presence of the cheap
amusement houses in the immediate
neighborhood of schools and churches.
and also the arguments of Attorneys C.
V. Meyers and l.. e. Savage in favor of
the show places.
Supervisor McLeran clashed with
Father Caraher in regard to the "Keilo-
deon' about to be conducted under the
part ownership of Police Commissioner
Keil beneath the very caves of the
priests own church. and the supervisor
insisted on having inserted provision
that the prohibition should not be ap
piled to amusement places already es-
tablished or now under construction.
McLeran wanted to take away from
the police board the power of licensing
the places where permitted but his fell
low members, Rixford and Connolly, re-
fused to sanction the plan that the SUI
pervisors should handle the matter.
Without mentioning any names.
Father Caraher had stated that the
particular nickelodeon referred to, that
OF kefPs interest. had been licensed
because a city official was a party in
interest in conducting the showhouse."
McLeran objected to this statement
as personality.
Very WELL" replied Father Caraher
warmly, 4 may say also that 1 object
to your voting or having any part as
supervisor in this particular matter. for
We're you not the contractor who built
this particular nickelodeon?
McLeran admitted that he was the
contractor, and said he would build a
church or a nickelodeon with equal
readiness whenever he found a person
who would pay him for doing 1t.
To later observation that amuse-
ment places might be sources of moral
elevation as well as churches. Father
Caraher made the declaration that the
statement was sheer blasphemy, and
you know what is the penalty for bias
phemy."

church federation. Rev. II. II. Bell of
the First United Presbyterian church,

death of DIR. Josephine Bell, which oc-
CURED at Bartlett springs yesterday

The Paragraph Pulpit
UNITARIAN
The Church and Corruption

So long as Christians seek to keep
their religion inside the church when
there is corruption outside, there can
be little hope for betterment of
social conditions. 1t is only when re-
ligion becomes an active and ami
mating force in all of life, that life
shall be purified and ennobled. 1t
must be said to the shame of most
of. us that we have never made any
practical application of our religious
principles to the political life of our
country. We have prayed one thing
and voted another We have never
yet sought to be in politics what we
have at least recognized we ought to
be in religion. When we unite our
politics and religion we may hope for
better things. =
