SNOW REMOVAL COST.
Edzcards Makes Estimate of
about S35 900 Day.

Big Bill Edwards, Commissioner of
Street Cleaning, was up bright and early
yesterday morning and from $50 o'clock,
when he saw the unemployed report with
their shovels at the section station at No.
231 Bowery, he was prodding his subordi-
mates to great efforts all day. At night
he said that the work of removing the
snow had progressed more successfully
than on any day since it began.
The Commissioner said that he could not
tell accurately what the expense of the
snow removal would be, but though that
from $4,000 to $4,000 a day would be
fair estimate of the cost, adding:
"As a rough average for the total
amount of men shovelling snow, would
say that there are about $500 men in the
three boroughs and $500 trucks drawing
snow, in addition to the department force
of $500 men, who are faithfully performing
their work. l have given a general order
TO the men in the department thanking
them for their faithful service on snow
removal, and saying that if there is no
more snow before January ! and if they
continue their good work, they will be
permitted TO enjoy a half holiday on New
Years Day
Every precaution has been taken TO see
that the work of snow removal is free
from graft and collusion. The system
of checking the laborers is by laborer' s
ticket, which is given to each man on
his reporting for duty in the morning and
properly punched throughout the day as
to the number of hours he has worked.
The carting of snow is for a price a
cubic yard. and in many instances
teamsters are making very good wages,
averaging about 81 so a load. which
makes it possible for us TO get the snow
removed quickly"

CONTRACTORS SAY THAT
ARCHITECT is TO BLAME
Builders of Inf1rmary Appear
Before the Works Board

Condor & McGlynn's contract to
build the infirmary at the relief home
tract was not annulled at yesterdays
meeting of the board of works, and
City Architect Tharp's resolution to
that effect was not even formally in
troduced Instead, a test. with Engi-
neer A. NJ. Hunt as referee, will be
held next Monday at the building to
decide whether the metal floor rein
forcing is UP to specifications.
Tharp's recommendation that the
contract be declared void was based
solely on the ground that the 160 work
ing days granted had elapsed since the
signing of the papers, September IA,
1908
Attorney Matthew Sullivan tooktvig-
orous exception to this. He called the
commissioners attention to the fact
that there had been l0l days of rain
in the interval; that the city architects
office had delayed matters 30 days by
making a three foot mistake in locat-
ing the base lines of the building; that
the grading work, which by terms was
to be completed before the concrete
wor kcommenced, was, as a matter of
fact still unfinished, although accepted
and paid for Ga few hundred yards of
material being on the ground), and
that the neglect of Tharp's Office in not
testing materials had further delayed

DEPUTY SHERIFF
Up FOR CONTEMPT
Judge Van Fleet to Investigate
Charge of Alleged Jury
Tampering
6. II. Schue Accused by Juror
in Gardner Murder
Hearing

Charged with contempt of court. c.
sheriff, was yesterday brought before
the United States circuit court and or
dered imprisoned by. Judge William c.
Van Fleet until the charge could be
thoroughly investigated Schue. it is
alleged, entered the store of w. II.
b. Gardner, now on trial for killing
Joseph Cardoza, mulatto shipmate on
the whaler Bowhead, and made some
remarks that might have a tendency
TO influence the juryman.
According to the statement made by
Schue to the court he was not actuated
oy any Interior motive in speaking
10 the Juror. The conversation, accord
ing TO the prisoner, relative to Gard
ner came about while he was purchas-
ing socks in the furnishing store of
Dowd at Seventh and Market streets.
Schue further stated that he did not
trial.
When court convened in the morn
ing Dowd announced that he had been
spoken TO about the trial He then
reclted how a stranger had come into
the store during the noon hour Thurs
udy, saying that he was identified
with the United States circuit court and
desired to purchase some socks for a
prisoner. He then added: IF l had
peen young Gardner l would have killed
the nigger. Dowd then told him that
he was juror in the case, and for
llm not to talk about 1t. Schue made
no further remarks.
AT the request of United States At
torney Robert T. Devlin, Juror Dowd
made a sworn statement of what was
said by Schue. 1t was thought at first
that United States deputy marshal
mad made the remark, so all the depu-
ties In the marshaTs office were brought
INTO court, but Dowd said that the man
was not among them. In a few minutes
Schue made his appearance, having
been located by the federal authorities,
and was Immediately recognized by
Dowd Schue was locked up in the
Alameda county Jail awaiting release
on $4,000 bonds fixed by the court.
Gardner occupied the stand yesterday
in his own behalf He recited, as he
did in his first trial, how he had struck
Cardoza in self-defense after the mu-
latto had whipped him in a fist fight
and threatened to attack him again. j.
Griffith was called for the defense. An
adjournment was taken until Tuesday

FORMER COLLEAGUES
NO LONGER FRIENDS
Attorney Murphy May Not Ap-
pear as Witness in the
Newburgh Trial
RumOr in Court OF Serious
Quarrel Between Two of
Ruef's Lawyers

Whether Frank J. Murphy, the former
Ruef attorney will testify at the trial
of his colleague. Adolph S .Newburgh.
which is now in progress before Judge
Conley. is a question which could not
be answered yesterday. either by New
burgh or Murphy. 1t was whispered
around the courtroom yesterday after
noon that the reason for this uncer-
tainty is that Newburgh and Murphy
have disagreed and that their friend
ship has almost terminated.
1t was also stated that Murphy and
Newburgh recently had a misunder-
standing which grew out of New
burgh's assertion that Murphy had
plunged him into the jury bribing
trouble without any apparent cause for
doing so.
According to Newburgh he met Muir
ply In the office of Bert Schlesinger, In
the Claus Spreckels building, Thursday
night. at which time various matters
concerning his trial were talked over.
1t is said that the disagreement oc-
Cured at this meeting. While New
burgh denied yesterday that he had
fallen out with Murphy, he could not
state whether Murphy would be called
as witness in his behalf.
Murphy was silent when asked about
the misunderstanding between himself
and Newburgh.
The reading of E. A. S. Blake's cross
examination at the previous Newburgh
trial was continued yesterday. The de-
fense attorneys endeavored to rearrange
the stipulation which they had entered
into with the prosecution Thursday
agreeing that all of Blake's testimony
should be read. District Attorney
Langdon would not consent to the
change.
Schlesinger announced a few minutes
before adjournment was ordered that he
would attempt to prove that Blake had
been granted numerous extensions OF
time in the preparation of his bill OF
exceptions. with the consent of the dis
trfct attorney. He further declared that
this line of evidence would be intro
duced for the purpose of showing that
Blake had been dealt with lenientiy by
the state. Some question as to the
legality of this procedure arose, and
further argument on this matter Will
take place Monday morning.

NOT ONE BLACK MARK
IN FORTY YEARS SERVICE
Police Sergeant Bunner May
Well Be Proud of Record

the San Francisco police department,

He is stationed at the Bush street po-
lice station, and is reckoned one of the
best guardians of the peace in the de-
partment.
Burners is a remarkable record. In
all these 40 years of service. during all
manner of disturbances, and all the
various experiences a policeman en-
counters, he never has been ION the
carpet Not once has he been called
before the police commissioners for
Areprimand. His record is clear.

department purpose presenting Bunner

DehmIows Correct Statement
Concerning Fire in Works

William Dehmlow and wife, proprie-

at 555 First avenue, where dangerous
fire occurred Thursday afternoon, stat
ed yesterday that the tanks and tubs of
liquid which the fire chief designated as
benzine contained water through which
the benzine had flowed in process of
publication to the benzine tanks under
ground. The smell of the tainted water
gave rise to the belief that 1t was the
dangerously explosive liquid, but the
Dehmlows say positively that no ben
zine was kept above ground except
such as was in immediate use in the
