inmate of the Home for Old People at
Fruitvale, was made the possessor of
$4,000, representing part of the estate
of his dead brother, James Mackey, by
an order signed by Judge Graham yes
terday. The suddenly enriched old
man seemed more apprehensive about
what is yet coming to him than thank
ful for the $4,000.
How much more am 1 going to get
and when will I get it?' he asked the
Judge.
Judge Graham smiled and referred
Mackey to his lawyer. Matt I. Sullivan
A sister, Mrs. Bridge Collins, who is
also an inmate of the old peoples home
at Fruitvale. likewise received $4,000.
but she was not in court. Both will
continue to live in the home, buyine

tate have been paid the heirs will re-
ceive an additional $4,000 each.

LURLINE BATHS \
PROVE POPULAR
First Ladies Day at New Nata-
torium Draws Large Crowd
to Big Plunge

The first ladies' day at the new Lur-
line baths at the corner of Bush and
Larkin streets was yesterday. the
women having the natatorium, whichfs
SIS by 14O feet, to themselves from 8
a. m. until noon; a large number en-
joyed themselves in the large plunge.
The natatorium is reserved for women
every Tuesday and Friday forenoon
That the Lurline baths are destined
to be as popular as they were before
the great FIRE of 1906 has been evil
denced by the liberal patronage since
the opening of the new institution de-
signed by Macdonald & Applegarth,
the architects. Immense throngs viewed
the beautiful structure built along
Pompeiian lines last Friday night when
it was thrown open to the public for
inspection.
Actual business was begun at the
baths Saturday. That day 500 persons
enjoyed the plunge. Sunday the baths
were even more popular. There were
1900 persons who availed themselves
Of the opportunity CT taking salt
water plunge in the heart of the city
bathing places in the world. Inasmuclr
as the baths have reopened so auspi-
ciously, it looks as though they will
soon attain greater popularity than
ever before.
The spacious galleries overlooking
the immense plunge are visited by
large numbers of spectators each day.
No charge is made for those who wish
to witness the bathers in the large
tank.
General superintendent c. G. Pryor is
more than pleased with the working of
the altering system, which was in
stalled at cost of $4,000 Three i'm
mense filters have been set UP in the
basement, which are capable of more
than renewing the 325,000 gallons in
the plunge each day. The filter has a
capacity of 1900 gallons an hour. The
water from the main passes through
the flter to the heater and then to the
deeper end of the tank. A pump lifts
the water out at the shallow end and
sends it through the filter again.
Enough additional water is drawn from
the main to keep the salt water plunge
up to the proper level. The water is
kept at temperature of so degrees.
The baths are complete in all de-
partments, 80 persons being employed
in the institution.

With earnestness and enthusiasm -

citadels of public ignorance with unre-
hitting vigor, that entrance may be
found for knowledge of the legitimacy
OF our objects, methods and practices,
of our unfair treatment by legisla-
lures and officials, of the duty of re-
ducing the fire waste, of the best
method of accomplishing that object,
and of the mutual benefits accruing
from such accomplishment, and that

MORE MONEY FOR
FIRE AND POLICE
Supervisors Vote to Increase
Appropriations for Upkeep
of Two Departments
Favor Construction of Tenn
porary City Hall Out OF
School Bond Revenue

At the first open committee meet
ing of the new supervisorial board yes
terday Supervisors Nelson. Pugh and
Harris recommended additional appro-
priations for the repair of the nre
houses and the police stations. CHAIR
man. Nelson advocated. and the others
concurred, that the fire department
fund for maintaining its houses in good
condition be doubled. the monthly al
lowance for the remaining six months
of the fiscal year to be fixed at $500
instead of 1880. 1t was recommended
that the police department receive $3.50
per month in addition to the average
of $3.50 expended in the upkeep OF the
stations during the past six months.
This was prompted in part by the
order restricting police members from
doing any carpentry work, erectlve
since December 1.
Superintendent of Buildings Barnett
submitted a report showing that nearly
all of the fire houses needed repairs
and declared that the firemen had IN
sufficient bathing accommodations IN
some cases.
Chairman Nelson said the committee
would at once interest itself in the
project, advanced by Mayor Mccarthy,
to build a temporary city hall
I'VE will probably not be able TO re-
port at next Mondays meeting, said
Nelson. but we hope to have some
thing definite to lay before the board
the week following.
I'VE will take UP with the finance
committee the question of getting the
money. 1 understand there is $50. 900
available for the Humboldt school and
not now needed for that purpose. A
temporary city hall might be con-
structed. to be later transformed into
a school building"

Pianos intended for December
selling and which would have been
used by US to magnificent advant-
of railroad strikes. These are now
arriving. Our big s75 Market
Street Building and our Eilers Mu-
sic Building at Oakland are filed
to overf1owing.
We have had to store four car
loads in our Fifth Street warehouse,
and fully that many more are being
stored for us at the Hibberds Ware
house. Still more are coming.
We take our annual inventory
January 31st. Before then we are
determined to find homes for most
of these pianos. No sane man
would undertake to sell so many
pianos within three weeks at reg
ular retail prices. 1t couldn't be
done! 1t would be ridiculous
waste of effort and money to try it,
The past year has been a pros
porous one for the Eilers Piano
Houses. We feel that even il these
four hundred pianos are sold with
out profit our showing will be very
satisfactory, and knowing that only
the most unprecedented reduction in
price Will dispose of SO large a
number of pianos quickly, we have
determined to close out these pianos
in a great wholesale cost sale.
Even then, we know that many
are not prepared to pay for a piano
on the spur of the moment To
these we say, select your piano now,
have it sent home and pay us as
best SUITS your convenience
WE GATHER INFORMATION.
But while profit making Is en-
tirely out of the question, we are
going to try at least to secure in
this sale some definite and valuable
information.

Mother

Assemblyman Henry N. Beatty, who
receives $4,000 under the will Of his
client, Mrs. Elizabeth Hitchcock, has
the inheriting habit. The will of his
mother, Mrs. Jane Beatty, was pro-
bated by Judge Graham yesterday, and
1T was found the young lawyer gets
$4,000 from the estate. besides sharing
the residue with his brother, James
]. Beatty.
The estate of Mrs. Beatty is worth
nearly $1,000. In her will the de-
cedent purposely makes no provision
for her son, William A. Beatty, stating
that during her lifetime she had given
him certain property.
To James j. Beatty she had also
decided some realty, and the specific be-
quest of $1,000 to Henry was made in
order to equalize her gifts to her sons.
