Chief Cook Opposes Provision
and an Appeal Will Be
Made to the Courts

A storm cloud that has been gather
ing for some time will burst soon after
the list of permanent clerks is issued
by the civil service commissioners
within the next two or three weeks.
The persons interested in the coming
struggle are the civil service commits
sioners. the police commissioners and
the civil service employees association
The civil service commissioners win.
1T is said, insist that all policemen
doing clerical duty shall be relegated
to patrol duty and their places taken
by certified permanent clerks who are
qualified to take an yposition at
salary not exceeding s12O a month.
which is the pay of policeman. The
commissioners argue that clerical
positions in police departments in the
large eastern cities are held by civil
service appointees, and they see no
reason why the same rule should not
apply here.
CHIEF COOKS STAND
On the other hand Chief Cook.
backed up by the police commission
ers. argues that none but a sworn
police officer should be allowed to do
clerical work in the department. as
there are secrets TO be jeaIously
guarded, and if the work was done by
clerks certified by the civil service
board these secrets might not be main
tanned. as the clerks would not be
amenable to trial before the police
board if they were found disclosing
the doings of the department to out
siders.
The chief is strongly opposed to the
proposition of the civil service boaro.
and argues also that policemen have to
pass civil service examination. and
it matters not to any one outside the
department whether they are employed
in clerical work or doing patrol duty.
WILL MAKE TEST CASE
The civil service employees associa-
tion will back up the civil service
board. and it is said it has. already
engaged former Judge Slack to fight
+he matter in the courts should the
police commission refuse to recognize
the certified clerks. It is also said
that the auditor will withhold the war
rants of all policemen employed at
clerical work, so as to bring the mat
ter into the courts when the time
arrives
The matter will affect about a dozen
policemen who are employed at purely
clerical work at headquarters. some as
stenographers. some as corresponding
clerks and others as copyists

Borough's Design Wins

Randall W. Borough, a young San
Franciscan, has been adjudged by the
executive committee Of the Portola
festival the winner of the poster exhi-
bition which has been on view in the
tapestry room Of the St Francis hotel
for the last few days, and he will thus
become the possessor of the 500 prize
Fame and fortune should now be his,
for not only will his painting become
the official poster of the Portola festi-
val but it viii be circulated all over
the world and will undoubtedly attract
attention wherever it is seen.
41is idea was clever one and fifty
carried out A girl of the Spanish type
is seen dancing with all the abandon
of the race, her eyes a-sparkle with
the excitement of the moment. her
her hands and strewn around her-the
very essence of youthful vivacity In
the background tower the ferry build
ing and the structures of the new city,
and behind lie the mountains.
Borough did not gain an easy vic
tory. Virgil Nahl ran him a very close
second, so close indeed that the execu-
tive committee was hard pressed to
choose between them. NahPs depletion
of the old city and the new and his
general conception were viewed with.
much favor by the committee, which
found in the poster plenty of merit.
The executive committee eventually
decided that Borough's poster showed
more of the carnival spirit than NahFs,
which while beautiful in tone and
coloring, was inclined trihe too much
toward the serious.
The exhibition, which closed last
Monday. afforded many hundreds of
persons an hour or two of pleasure and
proved in every way an unqualified
success.

NEW YORK, June 26-Tbe New
York police confirmed tonight the
phase of-the SigeI murder case brought
to light in Newark, IN. J., today that
Leon Ling was in Newark early ON
the afternoon of the murder with a
heavy oval topped trunk like the one
in which the body was found and a

James Halstead, the Newark cab
driver who drove Leon and his trunk
back to New York the same day, was
taken to police headquarters tonight.
body was found and it is understood
that he identified it as the one he
hauled.
The mystery of how Elsie .Sigel was
killed was cleared up to some extent
today with the announcement of the re-
ports from the coroner's autopsy sup
porting in a way the belief that the
murder was not premeditated but
committed on the spur of the moment
by the jealous Chinese.
There is no confirmation of the state
ment made to the police by a clerical
friend of the Sigel family that Elsie
ever married Chu Gain, Leon Ling's
rival.
The district attorneys office ques-
toned Ong Fung, an English speak
ing Chinese. Ong Fung said that moth
ing was known in Chinatown to con-
meet Leon with either of the Chinese
tongs and that apart from his mem
bership in the Chinese Masons (which
the Masons deny) the only other So
ciety to which he belonged was the
Four Brothers, which embraces all the
descendants of four tabled demigods
who loved in the cloudy days even be-
fore Chinese history began.
Even IL Leon is caught and his case
comes to trial there seems to be small
chance, from statement made tonight.

letters will ever be made public in

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
OAKLAND, June 26-Hayward and
its environs are being searched by
Sheriff Barnet and posse of deputies
for trace of Chinese, who was re-
ported to have answered the description
of Leon Ling, the murderer of Miss
Elsie Sigel in New York.
Word reached the sheriff this after
noon that a young Chinese, dressed in
American style. speaking excellent
English, had been seen during the
morning in Hayward, acting as though
he were stranger. He made inquiry
for newspapers, and thus attracted
attention.
NOTIFY THE SHERIFF.
subsequently those who had observed
the young man became suspicious that
all was not right with him. Word was
sent to Sheriff Barnet. who sent deputy
sheriffs from Oakland. He also sent a
hue and cry throughout the county,
giving a description of the Chinese
fugitive as 1t was received from Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham of New
York.
Barnet followed upon the heels of the
force of deputies, taxing with him
Chief Deputy District Attorney Phil
Carey.
That Ling, or William H. Leon. his
adopted American name, is in this
part of the state is the firm conviction
of acting Chief Of Police Petersen of
Oakland. That officer admitted that he
had received advices from New York
that Ling had friend in Oakland and
might be expected to go into hiding
here.
