Two years ago he went from Portland, Oregon, where he had been in business, to Revelstoke, B. C, and obtained a posi- tion on a steamer running to that point. Later he went into mining, and bought a c aim from a broken-down miner for $100. Another c aim was obtained for merely grub-staking a prospector, and it is this claim that has turned out a small bo- nanza. The surface croppings went eighty ounces of slyer and $8 in gold, and now, at thirty feet, ore that runs $60 In gold to the ton has been struck. The mine is convenient to plenty of water, and $90,000 was recently refused for a fifth interest. A 20-stamp mill hns been purchased and .will be set up as soon as it can be shipoed to the mine. GROEZINGER IS ANGRY. The Justice of the Peaca Will Tell a Strange Story to Judge Seawall. He Claims That H- Was Indued to Mistiknly Sim a Judgment by Saarp Practice. Justice of the Peace Groezinger will ap- pear before Judge Seawall Tuesday morn- ing in answer to a writ of rej/iew petitioned for by counsel for J. S. Reid in his suit as assignee for M. Friedman & Co. against Mrs. Pauline Selig. The proceedings will be enlivened by Justice Groezinger'-. state- ment concerning the facts in the case. The Justice says that the suit against Mr-. Selig was to recover $ 147 alleged to be due for furniture purchased on the in- stallment plan. The testimony was that Mrs. Selig had paid all but $22 90, but the claim was made that as all the install- ments had not been paid the furniture must be returned also. The Justice nave judgment for $22 90 only. The next day the judgment was handed to the Justice 'to a irn. He was busy, and supposing that the judgment was for the amount he had named on the bench he signed it. The defendant showed him that be had signed a judgment lor $147. Then he went to the clerk of the court and had the judgment changed to $22 90. This brought about the petition lor a writ of review. The judgment was rendered January 19 and wa- changed on the following day. On the 30th of January Mrs. Selig paid $29 40, and agreed to pay $22 80 more with- in thirty-one days. This nas excited Jus- tice Groezinger's wrath, in view of the tes- timony that Mrs. Selig had paid prior to the hearing before him all but $22 90 of the face of tbeclaim. The transactions after the judgment are evidenced by the following: San Irani- Jan. 30, 1597. Received from Mis. P. Selig the sum of (28 40, with the express understanding that the receiving of the said sum will not In miy manner affect my rights under the judgment rendered lv my tavor in the justice* Court of the City and County of San Frauciseo, action So. 94,280, on the— day of January. 1897, ior the recovery of the personal properiv de- scribed in the complain i in the said action, or for the payment of $147, in case delivery of the said properly could not be had; and that the said payment is not iv any manner to be construed as a satisfaction or partial satisfac- tion of the said judgment, and I agree upon the payment to me of $22 80, II paid within thirty-one d«ys from this date, to eater a com- plete satisfaction of the said judgment of record in the said court.

The Efceeutfve Committee Ask the Su- pervisor!* to Set Apart Some Funds. The executive committee of the Carni- val of the Golden Gate has addressed the following communication to the Board of Supervisors: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—Gen- tlemen: The members of the i xeeutive com- mittee of the Carnival oi the Golden Gate are de Iron*of placing befora the numbers of your honorable body an applica'ion for a portion ot the fund setups rt by Lawfor the purpose ofin- ducing Immigration to the City and county. The experience of other cities has demon- strated that affairs similar to the Carnival of the Golden Gate have been productive of <.*-reat good to the citizens of those places. San Fran- cisco has always been behind the rest of ihe Mate in the presentation of her claims as a most desirable place of residence. Support has heretofore been given to many things which did not promise as much good as will the coming carnival. We, therefore, respectfully ask your honor- able board to set apart as much of the $2500 annually appropriated under this law as in your judgment may seem fit. By the Executive Committee. Hesperian Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West intends to give an enter- tainment and party for the benefit of the carnival next Saturday evening. The members of the parlor are working assid- uously to make the affair a grand financial and social success. EXAMINEES APPOINTED. Two Physicians Who Will look After the Eyed of School Children.

Tantamount to Holding the Notary for Trial. Mrs. Craven ani the Fair Interests Preparing lor the Fight on the Pencil Dee s. The merits of the Cooney case a.c to go to a jury for final consideration. Judge Carroll Cook rendered a decision yester- day morning denying the motion made two weeks ago by the attorneys for the defense to dismiss the case for lack of evi- dence. Tins is tantamount to holding the young notary for trial before the Superior Court on the charge of perjury made some time ago by Charles L. Fair. The burden of young Fair's complaint is tbat Cooney swore falsely when he put his notarial certificate to the famous pencil deeds ol Mrs. Craven certifying that the dead mil- lionaire acknowledged the documents before him on September 27. 1894. Both sides in tbe famous ca->e were well represented. Cooney's attorneys. Patrick A. Ready, Juige 8. C. Denson and \V. \V. Foote, had seats by the young man's side. District Attorney Barnes, George A. Knight and Captain Lees were ther* for tne prosecution. Garret McEn-rney and Richard V. Hey looked on for the admin- lsiraiors. The deci-ion was a lengthy one, ami consumed aitnoat two hours in reading. Judge Cook opened by a rehearsal of the law on perjury. He told the lawyers that tie had spent two whole days reading the voluminous evidence bearing on the case. Tne man who was prosecuting might be rich, said the magistrate, but that was no reason why a poor man he was prosecuting should escape being found guilty. "So f«r as I am concerned the pauper and the millionaire are otic and the same to me," added Judge Cook. It was necessary, he continued, on a charge of perjury, to have the testimony of two witnesses or one witness and cor- roborating circumstances. Circumstan- tial or documentary evidence alone would not fit the case. Judge Cook then re- viewed the evidence given by Herbert Clark, the former valet of the million- aire. Clark, so the court thought, gave a satisfactory account of the doint*s of the bonanza king on September 27, 1894. Clark did not remomi.er that Fair vis- ited the young notary's oilice on that day, although his evidence showed that his em- ployer was several times in his movements within a few steps of the notary's place of business. Cooney himself, said the court, corroborated this story to acertain extent when hesaid he was not personally ac- quainted with Ihe millionaire. Judge Cook went on to say thai the record of the transaction in Cooney's book seemed to have some evidence ot change of figures in the date lines. He also thought two kinds of inkhad been used in the cc r- tificates on the deeds. The different witnesses from the Crocker printing-bouse, who were called by the prosecution to prove that on Jannasf 8. 1896, a lot of blanks contained the words "to me," were of little value in the ruse except to recall that these blanks con- tained man.* typographical effects. The prosecution had pointed out over sixty of tbese defects in these blanks, which it claimed were identical with mulls in printingin the certificates on the pen- cil deeds. Cooney's attorneys had found as many "dissimilarities." • "In one place on line eleven the attor- neys for the defense pointed out twenty- nine dots in a blank space," said Judge Cook, "where but twenty-eight dots were visible in the .proof of the Crocker blank of January 8, 1896 For a long time this discrepancy puzzled tue. I could not see how ihe extra dot could creeo into the certificate, and I was on the point ol throwing all this evidence out when* by the aid of a very powerful microscope 1 discovered just the faintest indication of this extra dot in the Crocker proof. 1 then examined the matrix and found that it existed there, although imperfectly. The other discrepancies which the defendant's attorneys declare exist I think mr-y be the result of imperfections in the paper on which the proof was taken and the man- ner in which the proof was taken." The court then formally denied the motion to dismiss the young notary. "It is not my duty to determine whether the defendant be guilty of the crime charged, or not," Judj-e Cook said in final explanation of his finding. "This is merely a preliminary examination and I am not required ;o look for proof. It is the existence or non-existence of testi- mony tending to establish probable cause for one to believe him guilty that I am called upon to determine. Whether such testimony proves guilt, in other words whether it is to be believed, is a question for a jury to pass upon, not I." . When the decision had been read At- torney Reddy ro?e inreply to the court's reference to the rich and poor. Reddy \u25a0\u25a0aid he never contended for a moment that because a man was wealthy it was any reason why he should not have the protection of the court against crime. "I spoke merely of the power of a wealthy Urooknian, senior warden; Charles J. man to obtain evidence to convict against 'he inability of a poor man to obtain evi- dence to defend himself. I was contrast- ing the' power of the one with the weak- ness of the other," said the lawyer. Judge Cook said possibly he had misunderstood the lawyer's argument, and good feeling returned. Both Mrs. Craven and the special ad- ministrators of the estate say they are ready to proceed with the big civil suit over the pencil deeds on Tuesday morning before Judge Slack. It was rumored last night that Magistrate Cook's decision re- garding Cooney might be the means of postponing the othercase. Mrs. Craven's attorneys declare tney are anxious and willing to go to trial. The Fair people are similarly emphatic in their assertions, so it begins to look as if the -famous suit is finally to be a court attraction. Specu- lation is rile concerning the time it will take to hear the case. The general belief is that it will take tine* months to hear the evidence, as there are innumerable witnesses who have never yet been heard of in connection with the case on the slate of each side.

It is probable that little will be done at this preliminary meeting beyond arrang- ing for the first mass-meeting and receiv- ing suggestions a.* to ihe best means -of i rendering tangibe aid to the struggling ' Cuban patriots. If all those who call at the Cuban head- quarters to offer assistance could be ac- commodated it would of necessity be a large snip that could carry them all to the troubled isle. Men come every day w-.o want to shoulder a rifl - and face the Span- ish armies, ami they are often sorely dis- appointed when told that it is not tne purpose of the sympathizers to send armed men to Cuba, but rather to raise funds to buy ammunition, medicines and other supplies, and still nirther to aid the cause by showing to Congress the feeling ol tue people of San Francisco regarding the struggle now going on in tne island. Among yesterday's callers was Pro- fessor J. H. L Tuck, who is the inventor of a submarine torpedo system suitable for Cuban waters. He said that, though 73 years of age, he was ready to go at any time to Cuba to iay death-dealing bombs under the placid waters of the rivers so that the destruction of Spanish ships-of- war might be compassed. When told that such a project was pre- mature, and that the committee ap- pointed by the Mayor "must decide whether such a scheme was advisable, he a*«ked leave to attend the meetine and ad- dress the members on the subject. Letters from all parts of the State con- tinue to reach the headquarters offering armed as well as financial aid, and many contain suggestions as to the methods to be used in raisin-*; funds. One that was received yesterday from Professor Brown of the Leland Stanford Jr. University con- tained a novel suggestion which struck the leaders forcibly. The letter read as follows: Leland Stanford Jr. University, > California. Feb. 17, 181)7 j Ch lirman of Committee of Fifty for the Cuban League of the United States — Heap. Sir: iVuen Mayor Phelan was st this university recently he asked me If I would serve.on your commit- tee, but I do not know whether I nave been made a member .»r not. I *auggeste<i to Mr. Phelan a plan which ho said 1 aiiould lay be- lore your committee. Ii has been very wel] thought of by those to whom 1 have spoken here. It is that, instead of the usual appeal for small amounts of spot, oh — dlowed by total forge tfulness of the cause here be circu- lated and blanks printed in tne papers lor it a subscription asking for a CENT a day FOR the war, Payable monthly in advance in postage stamps. H_f?%S This is within the reach of all. and all who sign are sure to keep interested in the work. It is so small that if it were set off with the proper boom almost every one would sign it, and it would doubtless spread and be a great factor in helping to strengthen the arm of Cuba against Spain. I have just suggested It to the league in New York. Very irul*/ yours, Bolton Coit Brown, Professor. President Jones and Secretary Masche- rini of the sympathizers are anxiously awaitine a reply to their letter to Colonel Ethan Allen of the New York headquar- ters informing him of the appointment of| the committee oy Mayor Phelan and ask- ing suggestions as to the best method of organizing in this City. It has been erroneous'v stated in the I Examiner that Professor B. C. .Brown of ! Stanford University had been at p inted j by Mayor Phelan as chairman of tne com- ' mittee of fifty. Mayor Phelan has not appointed a chairman, nor does he intend to directly. "Mr.Jones, President of the league in this City, states that from what he can learn the Mayor's plan was to have the committee meet with the ollicers of the league and then appoint as chairman some gentleman suggested by the pres- dent. The purpose in this is Mint the officers of the league, being the more « familiar with the work in hand, would suggest one who will be able to be of direct benefit to the Cuban cause. President Jones has received a letter from B. C. Brown, in which the latter states that he is organizing a branch league in behalf of Cuba at the Stanford Jr. University and another in Palo Alto. He is kept very busy holding meetings and finding speakers, hut so far he has met with good success. FIXING WATER RATE 3. City and County Attorney Creswell Gives the Supervisors an Opinion. City and County Attorney Creswell has addressed a communication to the Board of Supervisors r dative- to the rising of water rates. He rinds that tbe law says they must be fixed in February of each year, but they can be fixed later; though in not fixing them in February the Super- visors are liable to punishment. The conclusion of his communication is as follows: The authority then to ' fix the rates must continue beyond the month of February, or mandamus would not lie to compel the per- formance of that duty. The power of the board does not lapse in consequence ol official inaction in the month of February. Thoupn the rates have not been lixed within the time prescribed by the constitution, it is still tho duty of the board to fix the rates, and if not done voluntarily the board may be compelled to perform its duty by the mandate of the court. That which may be enforced by law cannot be illegalif done voluntarily. IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Delegates From In. quoin Clubs of the State Will Gather Here To-Morrow. The annual conference of Iroquois clubs for California will be held in Pythian Hall to-morrow at 10 a.m. in celebration of Washington's birthday.

GROEZINGER IS ANGRY.The Justice of the Peaca Will

Tell a Strange Story toJudge Seawall.

He Claims That H- Was Indued toMistiknly Sim a Judgment

by Saarp Practice.

Justice of the Peace Groezinger willap-pear before Judge Seawall Tuesday morn-ing inanswer to a writof rej/iew petitionedfor by counsel for J. S. Reid in his suit asassignee for M. Friedman & Co. againstMrs. Pauline Selig. The proceedings willbe enlivened by Justice Groezinger'-. state-ment concerning the facts in the case.The Justice says that the suit againstMr-. Selig was to recover $147 alleged tobe due for furniture purchased on the in-stallment plan. The testimony was thatMrs. Selig had paid all but $22 90, but theclaim was made that as all the install-ments had not been paid the furnituremust be returned also.

The Justice nave judgment for $22 90only. The next day the judgment washanded to the Justice 'to a irn. He wasbusy, and supposing that the judgmentwas for the amount he had named on thebench he signed it. The defendant showedhim that be had signed a judgment lor$147. Then he went to the clerk of thecourt and had the judgment changed to$22 90. This brought about the petitionlor a writof review.

The judgment was rendered January 19and wa- changed on the followingday.On the 30th of January Mrs. Selig paid$29 40, and agreed to pay $22 80 more with-in thirty-one days. This nas excited Jus-tice Groezinger's wrath, in view of the tes-timony that Mrs. Selig had paid prior tothe hearing before him all but $22 90 ofthe face of tbeclaim. The transactionsafter the judgment are evidenced by thefollowing:

San Irani- Jan. 30, 1597.Received from Mis. P. Selig the sum of

(2840, with the express understanding thatthe receiving of the said sum will not Inmiymanner affect my rights under the judgmentrendered lv my tavor in the justice* Court ofthe City and County of San Frauciseo, actionSo. 94,280, on the— day of January. 1897,ior the recovery of the personal properiv de-scribed in the complain iin the said action, orfor the payment of $147, incase delivery ofthe said properly could not be had; and thatthe said payment is not iv any manner to beconstrued as a satisfaction or partial satisfac-tion of the said judgment, and Iagree uponthe payment to me of $22 80, IIpaid withinthirty-one d«ys from this date, to eater a com-plete satisfaction of the said judgment ofrecord inthe said court.

ducing Immigration to the City and county.The experience of other cities has demon-strated that affairs similar to the Carnival ofthe Golden Gate have been productive of <.*-reatgood to the citizens of those places.

Supporthas heretofore been given to many thingswhich did not promise as much good as willthe coming carnival.

We, therefore, respectfully ask your honor-able board to set apart as much of the $2500annually appropriated under this law as inyour judgment may seem fit.

AJURY MUSTHEAR THE CASE

Judge Carroll Cook Deniesa Motion to Dismiss

Cooney.

The Decision I.Tantamount toHolding the Notary for

Trial.

Mrs. Craven ani the Fair InterestsPreparing lor the Fight on the

Pencil Dee s.

The merits of the Cooney case a.c to goto a jury for final consideration. JudgeCarroll Cook rendered a decision yester-day morning denying the motion madetwo weeks ago by the attorneys for thedefense to dismiss the case for lack of evi-dence. Tins is tantamount to holding theyoung notary for trial before the SuperiorCourt on the charge of perjury made sometime ago by Charles L. Fair. The burdenof young Fair's complaint is tbat Cooneyswore falsely when he put his notarialcertificate to the famous pencil deeds olMrs. Craven certifying that the dead mil-lionaire acknowledged the documentsbefore him on September 27. 1894.

Both sides in tbe famous ca->e were wellrepresented. Cooney's attorneys. PatrickA. Ready, Juige 8. C. Denson and \V. \V.Foote, had seats by the young man's side.District Attorney Barnes, George A.

Knight and Captain Lees were ther* fortne prosecution. Garret McEn-rney andRichard V. Hey looked on for the admin-lsiraiors.

The deci-ion was a lengthy one, amiconsumed aitnoat two hours in reading.Judge Cook opened by a rehearsal of thelaw on perjury. He told the lawyersthat tie had spent two whole days readingthe voluminous evidence bearing on thecase. Tne man who was prosecutingmight be rich, said the magistrate, butthat was no reason why a poor man hewas prosecuting should escape beingfound guilty.

"So f«r as Iam concerned the pauperand the millionaire are otic and the sameto me," added Judge Cook.

It was necessary, he continued, on acharge of perjury, to have the testimonyof two witnesses or one witness and cor-roborating circumstances. Circumstan-tial or documentary evidence alone wouldnot fit the case. Judge Cook then re-viewed the evidence given by HerbertClark, the former valet of the million-aire. Clark, so the court thought, gave asatisfactory account of the doint*s of thebonanza kingon September 27, 1894.

Clark did not remomi.er that Fair vis-ited the young notary's oilice on that day,although his evidence showed that his em-ployer was several times in his movementswithin a few steps of the notary's place ofbusiness. Cooney himself, said the court,corroborated this story to acertain extentwhen hesaid he was not personally ac-quainted with Ihe millionaire.

Judge Cook went on to say thai therecord of the transaction in Cooney's bookseemed to have some evidence ot changeof figures in the date lines. He also thoughttwo kinds of inkhad been used in the cc r-tificates on the deeds.

The different witnesses from the Crockerprinting-bouse, who were called by theprosecution to prove that on Jannasf 8.1896, a lot of blanks contained the words"to me," were of little value in the ruseexcept to recall that these blanks con-tained man.* typographical effects.

The prosecution had pointed out oversixty of tbese defects in these blanks,which itclaimed were identical with mullsin printingin the certificates on the pen-cildeeds. Cooney's attorneys had foundas many "dissimilarities." •

"Inone place on line eleven the attor-neys for the defense pointed out twenty-nine dots in a blank space," said JudgeCook, "where but twenty-eight dots werevisible in the .proof of the Crocker blankof January 8, 1896 For a long time thisdiscrepancy puzzled tue. Icould not seehow ihe extra dot could creeo into thecertificate, and Iwas on the point olthrowing all this evidence out when* bythe aid of a very powerful microscope 1discovered just the faintest indication ofthis extra dot in the Crocker proof. 1then examined the matrix and found thatitexisted there, although imperfectly. Theother discrepancies which the defendant'sattorneys declare exist I think mr-y bethe result of imperfections in the paper onwhich the proof was taken and the man-ner in which the proof was taken."

The court then formally denied themotion todismiss the young notary."Itis not myduty to determine whether

the defendant be guilty of the crimecharged, or not," Judj-e Cook said in finalexplanation of his finding. "This ismerely a preliminary examination and Iam not required ;o look for proof. Itisthe existence or non-existence of testi-mony tending to establish probable causefor one to believe him guilty that Iamcalled upon to determine. Whether suchtestimony proves guilt, in other wordswhether it is to be believed, is a questionfora jury to pass upon, not I.". When the decision had been read At-torney Reddy ro?e inreply to the court'sreference to the rich and poor. Reddy\u25a0\u25a0aid he never contended for a momentthat because a man was wealthy itwasany reason why he should not have theprotection of the court against crime. "Ispoke merely of the power of a wealthyUrooknian, senior warden; Charles J.

man to obtain evidence to convict against'he inability of a poor man to obtain evi-dence to defend himself. Iwas contrast-ing the' power of the one with the weak-ness of the other," said the lawyer. JudgeCook said possibly he had misunderstoodthe lawyer's argument, and good feelingreturned.

Both Mrs. Craven and the special ad-ministrators of the estate say they areready to proceed with the big civil suitover the pencil deeds on Tuesday morningbefore Judge Slack. Itwas rumored lastnight that Magistrate Cook's decision re-garding Cooney might be the means ofpostponing the othercase. Mrs. Craven'sattorneys declare tney are anxious andwilling to go to trial. The Fair peopleare similarly emphatic in their assertions,so it begins to look as if the -famous suitis finally to be a court attraction. Specu-lation is rile concerning the time it willtake to hear the case. The general beliefis that itwill take tine* months to hearthe evidence, as there are innumerablewitnesses who have never yet been heardof inconnection with the case on the slateof each side.

WAITING FOR THEMAYOR'S RECOVERY

Cuban Ccmmittee Will BeCalled Together at That

Time.

A Torpdo Invent or Wants aChance at Spanish Vessels

of War.

Professor Brown of St.*nf rd Univer-st? S.nds a Novel F.nancial

Suggestion.

Only the continued illness of MayorPhelan, whose presence is desired, pre-vents the leaders of the movement infavor of Free Cuba from calling togetherthe representative committee recently ap-pointed by the Mayor for the purpose ofarranging for a mass-meeting.Iiwas intended to send out the notice

of meeting to-day so that the gatheringcould be held at an erly date, bat Mr.Phelan's secretory telephoned to Secre-tary Mascherini of the Cuban sym-pathizers that the chief executive of themunicipal government was still confinedto his apartments and the matter waspostponed. Ahall centrally located willbe secured and an hour set for the meet-ing that willbe convenient to all of themembers of the committee.Itis probable that little willbe done at

this preliminary meeting beyond arrang-ing for the first mass-meeting and receiv-ing suggestions a.* to ihe best means -ofirendering tangibe aid to the struggling '

Cuban patriots.

Ifall those who call at the Cuban head-quarters to offer assistance could be ac-commodated it would of necessity be alarge snip that could carry them all to thetroubled isle. Men come every day w-.owant to shoulder a rifl

-and face the Span-

ish armies, ami they are often sorely dis-appointed when told that it is not tnepurpose of the sympathizers to sendarmed men to Cuba, but rather to raisefunds to buy ammunition, medicines andother supplies, and still nirther to aid thecause by showing to Congress the feelingol tue people of San Francisco regardingthe struggle now going on in tne island.

Among yesterday's callers was Pro-fessor J. H. L Tuck, who is the inventorof a submarine torpedo system suitablefor Cuban waters. He said that, though73 years of age, he was ready to go at anytime to Cuba to iay death-dealing bombsunder the placid waters of the rivers sothat the destruction of Spanish ships-of-war mightbe compassed.

When told that such a project was pre-mature, and that the committee ap-pointed by the Mayor "must decidewhether such a scheme was advisable, hea*«ked leave to attend the meetine and ad-dress the members on the subject.

Letters from all parts of the State con-tinue to reach the headquarters offeringarmed as well as financial aid, and manycontain suggestions as to the methods tobe used in raisin-*; funds. One that wasreceived yesterday from Professor Brownof the Leland Stanford Jr. University con-tained a novel suggestion which struckthe leaders forcibly. The letter read asfollows:

Leland Stanford Jr. University, >California. Feb. 17, 181)7 j

Ch lirman of Committee of Fifty for the CubanLeague of the United States—

Heap. Sir: iVuenMayor Phelan was st this university recentlyhe asked me IfIwould serve.on your commit-tee, but Ido not know whether Inave beenmade a member .»r not. I *auggeste<i to Mr.Phelan a plan which ho said 1 aiiould lay be-lore your committee. Iihas been very wel]thought of by those to whom 1 have spokenhere. Itis that, instead of the usual appealforsmall amounts of spot, oh

—dlowed by

total forge tfulness of the cause here be circu-lated and blanks printed in tne papers lor ita subscription asking for

a CENT a day FOR the war,Payable monthly in advance in postagestamps. H_f?%S

This is within the reach of all. and all whosign are sure to keep interested in the work.It is so small that ifit were set off with theproper boom almost every one would sign it,and it would doubtless spread and be a greatfactor in helping to strengthen the arm ofCuba against Spain. Ihave just suggested Itto the league in New York. Very irul*/ yours,

Bolton Coit Brown, Professor.President Jones and Secretary Masche-

rini of the sympathizers are anxiouslyawaitine a reply to their letter to ColonelEthan Allenof the New York headquar-ters informing him of the appointment of|the committee oy Mayor Phelan and ask-ing suggestions as to the best method oforganizing in this City.Ithas been erroneous'v stated in the I

Examiner that Professor B. C. .Brown of!Stanford University had been at p inted jby Mayor Phelan as chairman of tne com- 'mittee of fifty. Mayor Phelan has notappointed a chairman, nor does he intendto directly."Mr.Jones, President of the league in

this City, states that from what he canlearn the Mayor's plan was to have thecommittee meet with the ollicers of theleague and then appoint as chairmansome gentleman suggested by the pres-dent. The purpose in this is Mint the

officers of the league, being the more «familiar with the work in hand, wouldsuggest one who will be able to be ofdirect benefit to the Cuban cause.

President Jones has received a letterfrom B. C. Brown, in which the latterstates that he is organizing a branchleague in behalf of Cuba at the StanfordJr. University and another in Palo Alto.He is kept very busy holding meetingsand finding speakers, hut so far he hasmet withgood success.

FIXING WATER RATE3.City and County Attorney Creswell

Gives the Supervisors an Opinion.City and County Attorney Creswell

has addressed a communication to theBoard of Supervisors r dative- to the risingof water rates. He rinds that tbe law saysthey must be fixed in February of eachyear, but they can be fixed later; thoughin not fixingthem in February the Super-visors are liable to punishment.

The conclusion of his communication isas follows:The authority then to

'fix the rates must

continue beyond the month of February, ormandamus would not lie to compel the per-formance of that duty. The power of theboard does not lapse in consequence ol officialinaction in the month of February. Thoupnthe rates have not been lixed within the timeprescribed by the constitution, it is still thoduty of the board to fix the rates, and if notdone voluntarily the board may be compelledto perform its duty by the mandate of thecourt. That which may be enforced by lawcannot be illegalifdone voluntarily.
