The board adopted an- other resolution asking the Supervisors for authority to do the work imme- diately on its own accoTint by day labor. The action of the board was Fortified by an opinion. from Attorney Devoto that it had the power under the charter to declare the contract void. A. W. Burrell, president of the concern, said he would put in a claim for pre- liminary work done. J. W. McDonald, president of the City Street Improvement Company, took ex- ception to the complaints made against the manner in which he had bitumin- lzcd Eighth avenue, between H and I streets, and threatened to tear up the pavement and leave the block in its previous bad condition. McDonald acknowledged that the pavement was not up to specifications, but said it would last ten or fifteen years and he had intended to make a present of It to the property-owners. "There . has been so much 'kicking' about the work," said McDonald angrily, "that I have changed my mind and I propose to tear it up." "You can't tear It up, for If you-do the police will stop you," said City En- gineer Woodward. "The police can't stop me." said Mc- Donald. "It is not an accepted street." It developed that fcome of the prop- erty-owners have paid their share of the expense and on that account Mc- Donald will probably think twice be- fore he tears up the pavement.,.'. The Spring Valley Company notified the board that It would do away with the water main above ground on Va- lencia street so the street can be paved. The board ordered all material be- longing: to Flinn & Treacy and • ob- structing Nineteenth street, between Colllngwood and Diamond, removed to the corporation yard at the firm's ex- pense. S&JOE! HSR The board decided not tq, release P. F. Reilly from his ; contract to build the Bergerot School until he has filed a waiver of his claim of $300 for ; work done on the building. The board placed on file a claim of J. Nighting-ale for JI^.OOO because' some mo-n . employed by the Department of Works had torn up concrete curbing at Market. Page and Franklin streets. The City Engineer said 51000 would covrr the .damage and the sidewalks had been illegally laid at from eight to eleven Inches above grade. ELECT E. E.

The footpads . were standing in the shadow of the building, and as Sullans' and Di.«%row w«r« passing stepped "out with a command to the latter t-» throw up their hands. One of the youths held "a revolver. Disbrow ... was coy-_ «re<l squarely with It and did not move. Sullans saw an opportunity, to grasp the weapon and did so.

A. Moore broke in upon his closing argu- ment In the arbitration proceedings yesterday afternoon, Albert Johnson laid % trap for the interrupter which caught him In an unintentional admis- sion that the United Railroads- paid for their trolley franchise. Moore's ad- mission was really Intended as a de- nial, but his llhthlrikingr way of put- ting it made it appear otherwise. "By the fire of April 18 the United Railroads reaped a \ great benefit," Johnson said, and then, turning ~, to Moore,- added, "You deny that, I sup- pose?" "Yes, I deny that," promptly respond- ed the counsel for the railroads. "And by reason thereof it received from the city, for nothing, privileges worth hundreds of thousands of dol- lars—you deny, ; that, Mr. Moore?" "I /certainly do," incautiously re- sponded the astute lawyer. "All right. I, thought you paid for It, and when the people of San Fran- cisco come to Investigate it, a just prosecution will mete out justice to the people who were guilty of that outrage." \u25a0 THe readiness with \u25a0which Moore tumbled into the trap caused a laugh from the carmen who were In attend- ance in which even the 'arbitrators were forced to Join. " "Ideny that' we ~ paid for any privi- lege," shouted Moore. "But you Just admitted it," responded Johnson. "I never admitted anything ' of the kind. Now let your cackle go round again. Laugh it out," retorted the dis- comfited defender of the United Rail- roads. It was 5 o'clock when the last ses- sion of the board of arbitration was adjourned and the' arguments in the case concluded. Moore had finished in the forenoon and Johnson concluded in the afternoon. " The : former had,insist- ed that It was not right that the board should listen to the demands of the men for an eight-hour day, even If it were minded to give, an increase In wages, as the matter of the hours had been settled by the last arbitration and there was no reason for breaking the contract between the men and the com- pany in that respect. Johnson respond- ed that the company had waived the contract' when it signed the agreement for arbitration . and that, the granting of the eight-hour day. would " not .cost the company one cent, as the wages were paid by the hour, whatever they might be. It was also pointed out that the eight-hour, day would not in- terfere with the service which was ren- dered the public. Moore had said that there was -a la- bor wall around San Francisco. John- son responded that,. it was a wall of monopoly which the company had erect- ,ed. He showed that the increased pay which the men asked j_would not ad- vance'the operating expenses, of the company more than 10 per cent, while its income had been increased by 25 per cent and its operating expenses cut down by $60,000. , Johnson . kept his temper under the annoyance of interruptions and at one time turned to 'the Chief Justice with the remark: "Am I not doing admirably. Chief?" "You seem to have exchanged roles," answered Justice Beatty, who had be- fore criticised Johnson for his bursts of enthusiasm. The arbitrators will convene at the chambers of the Chief Justice on Fri- day to begin their discussion of the evidence, and It Is expected that it will be several days before the award is an- nounced.

The Board of Works adopted a reso-lution yesterday revoking the contractof the Burrell Construction Company tobuild a sewer in lower Market streetand intercepting sewers for falling tocomplete the work by January 8. thetime specified. The board adopted an-other resolution asking the Supervisorsfor authority to do the work imme-diately on its own accoTint by daylabor. The action of the board wasFortified by an opinion. from AttorneyDevoto that it had the power underthe charter to declare the contract void.A. W. Burrell, president of the concern,said he would put in a claim for pre-liminary work done.
J. W. McDonald, president of the CityStreet Improvement Company, took ex-ception to the complaints made againstthe manner in which he had bitumin-lzcd Eighth avenue, between H and Istreets, and threatened to tear up thepavement and leave the block in itsprevious bad condition. McDonaldacknowledged that the pavement wasnot up to specifications, but said itwould last ten or fifteen years and hehad intended to make a present of Itto the property-owners.
"There .has been so much 'kicking'about the work," said McDonaldangrily, "that Ihave changed my mindand Ipropose to tear it up."
"You can't tear It up, for If you-dothe police willstop you," said City En-gineer Woodward.
"The police can't stop me." said Mc-Donald. "Itis not an accepted street."It developed that fcome of the prop-
erty-owners have paid their share ofthe expense and on that account Mc-Donald will probably think twice be-fore he tears up the pavement.,.'.
The Spring Valley Company notifiedthe board that It would do away withthe water main above ground on Va-lencia street so the street can be paved.
The board ordered all material be-longing: to Flinn & Treacy and •ob-structing Nineteenth street, betweenColllngwood and Diamond, removed tothe corporation yard at the firm's ex-pense. S&JOE! HSR
The board decided not tq,release P.F. Reilly from his ;contract to buildthe Bergerot School until he has fileda waiver of his claim of $300 for;workdone on the building.
The board placed on file a claim ofJ. Nighting-ale for JI^.OOO because' somemo-n . employed by the Department ofWorks had torn up concrete curbing atMarket.

JUROR *LEV3irGSTON\DIDNOT ABUSE RUEF
Claim Power to Delay 1EachIndictment by TacticsNow TJsed Shamelessly
Exasperated by the frequent inter-ruptions -with which • Counselor A. A.Moore broke in upon his closing argu-
ment In the arbitration proceedingsyesterday afternoon, Albert Johnsonlaid % trap for the interrupter whichcaught him In an unintentional admis-sion that the United Railroads- paid
for their trolley franchise. Moore's ad-mission was really Intended as a de-nial, but his llhthlrikingr way of put-ting it made it appear otherwise.
"By the fire of April 18 the UnitedRailroads reaped a \ great benefit,"Johnson said, and then, turning ~,toMoore,- added, "You deny that, Isup-pose?"
"Yes, Ideny that," promptly respond-ed the counsel for the railroads.
"And by reason thereof it receivedfrom the city, for nothing, privilegesworth hundreds of thousands of dol-lars—you deny, ; that, Mr. Moore?""I/certainly do," incautiously re-
sponded the astute lawyer."All right. I,thought you paid for
It, and when the people of San Fran-cisco come to Investigate it, a justprosecution will mete out justice tothe people who were guilty of thatoutrage."
\u25a0 THe readiness with \u25a0which Mooretumbled into the trap caused a laughfrom the carmen who were In attend-ance in which even the 'arbitratorswere forced to Join.""Ideny that' we
~paid for any privi-
lege," shouted Moore."But you Just admitted it," responded
Johnson."I never admitted anything '
of thekind. Now let your cackle go roundagain. Laugh itout," retorted the dis-comfited defender of the United Rail-roads.It was 5 o'clock when the last ses-
sion of the board of arbitration wasadjourned and the' arguments in thecase concluded. Moore had finished inthe forenoon and Johnson concluded inthe afternoon.
"The :former had,insist-
ed that It was not right that the boardshould listen to the demands of themen for an eight-hour day, even If itwere minded to give, an increase Inwages, as the matter of the hours hadbeen settled by the last arbitration andthere was no reason for breaking thecontract between the men and the com-pany in that respect. Johnson respond-ed that the company had waived thecontract' when it signed the agreementfor arbitration .and that, the grantingof the eight-hour day. would
"not .cost
the company one cent, as the wageswere paid by the hour, whatever theymight be. It was also pointed outthat the eight-hour, day would not in-terfere with the service which was ren-dered the public.
Moore had said that there was -a la-bor wall around San Francisco. John-son responded that,. it was a wall ofmonopoly which the company had erect-,ed. He showed that the increased paywhich the men asked j_would not ad-vance'the operating expenses, of thecompany more than 10 per cent, whileits income had been increased by 25per cent and its operating expenses cutdown by $60,000. ,
Johnson .kept his temper under theannoyance of interruptions and at onetime turned to'the Chief Justice withthe remark:
"AmInot doing admirably. Chief?""You seem to have exchanged roles,"
answered Justice Beatty, who had be-fore criticised Johnson for his bursts ofenthusiasm.
The arbitrators will convene at thechambers of the Chief Justice on Fri-day to begin their discussion of theevidence, and It Is expected that it willbe several days before the award is an-nounced.
