TO TEST LEGALITY OF
LEASE OF SCHOOL LAND
Suit Filled to Determine Right
of Education Board to Rent
Lot for Long Term

The judgment Of the superior court Is to be
obtained as to whether or not it is within the
power or the board OF education TO lease the
Lincoln school lot at Fifth and Market streets
for purposes other than educational.
To this end Dr.. Margaret Mahoney yesterday
nled suit against the board asking that 1t be
restrained from carrying out its intention Of
leasing the lot TO Maurice Rosenthal for 35
years. The board advertised for bids for the
use OF the lot for the period mentioned and on
Thursday accepted the bid of Rosenthal.
The complaint OF Dr. Mahoney. which was
drawn by Hiram W. Johnson, states that the
lot as been vested in the board OF education
of San Francisco for educational purposes. since
1883. In which year the legislature passed an
act authorizing the commissioners of the funded
debt to convey 1t to the board The land was
then dedicated for school purposes and for no
other purpose whatever. It is alleged in the
bill. and that the board Of education is vIo-
lating the trust reposed In it when it seeks
TO lease the land.

EMMoNs LOSES FIGHT

Ex-State Senator E. W. Emmons' last hope
Of securing his liberty went glimmering yester-
day. when the supreme court sustained the de-
cision of the third district court of appeals not
to grant a rehearing of his case. The boodling
legislator has made long and desperate fight to
escape from the sentence which was imposed on
him and he will now have to begin serving a
term which would have been almost over IL he
had gone to prison when he was first sentenced.

Nature has provided the stom-
ach with certain. natural fluids
known as the digestive juices,
and it is through these juices
that the food we eatais acted up
on in such a way as to produce
the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body
and thereby makes us strong,
healthy and robust, and it is
the weakening OF these digestive
juices that destroys health. It
is our own fault if we destroy
our own health, and yet it is so
easy for any one to put the stom-
ach out of order. When you
need to take something take it
promptly, but take something
you know is something
like Kodol For Dyspepsia ana
Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant
to take, it is reliable and is guar
anteed to give relief. 1t is sold

qualified to hold this important
office, being a lawyer of ability
and having experience covering
a period of many years. The in
