The building of the Palace Hotel will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped that it will be completed In January, ltuiS." It la known that the negotiations were of the most spirited character and would havs come to naught but for the diplomacy of William H. Crocker and Thomas Magee. By obliging the Palace Company to pav taiet and Interest In addition to an annual rental of 1105,000, the Laws assuredly get i per cent per annum on a fair valuation of the lot and building of their hotel properly, so It is Bald.

Margaret MaUoney, president of the Sjii Francisco Teachers' Federation, against whom recently charge1 were iiUd with the Board of Education on the ground of Insubordination, has petitioned the Superior Court for the right to take the depositions of Thomas F. Hoyle, Aaron AUnian. Alfred Ron-oovieri.

R. H. W. Ii. Howard and T.

lieaiun. The petitioner says that the depositions may become material to establish, her rights as she expects to be the party to an action in which the School Hoard and the Superintendent of Schools will he the adverse parties. In the petition is set forth an outline of the facts she thinks necessary to proved at the expected litigation. This outline includes the tact that the school site at Bush and Stockton streets was recommended by the Superior Judges as a site for a Judicial Building; that finances of the School le-partnient are crippled and that the inlaid of iCducatiou has cut the salaries of the teachers; that the Charter provides that no school property shall be leased if it Is needed by the School Department, and then it shall not be leased except for money to the highest bidder (the rental of the Hush and Stockton-street slto was merely nominal that the Busii street property is needed by the Sciiool Department; that the teachers are affected by the reduction in the salaries and that the school fund has been deprived of money by the lease; that tiie Federation protested about the lease and the petitioner signed tiie protest; that the Hoard threatens to dismiss her unless denies what was stated In the protest. Attorney Hlllycr of Illllyer, Mann O'Brien, who represent the petitioner, said he could not state whether his client would begin an action to prevent the Board from ousting her or whether she would start a suit to stop the use of the site named for oilier than school purposes.

Superintendent of Schools Roncovtnrl deelures he cannot understand the move, as although charges have been tiled against the petitioner no date for hearing them has been -set, anil the president of the Federation cannot tell yet whether they will be heard at all. Ho said, however, that from the fact the petition had been filed. It looked as if it was an attempt to forstall any action the Board might take.

mil PREVENT DIVERSION 'Official Insists School Board Must Make Other Arrange ments for Supplies, i tii "There nerd be no fear of tbe school bring closed fur lack of money to pay the teachers because of the beayy ex. uenditure yC tbe director for material nud supplies furnished. Tbe money available to the credit of the school board belongs to the teachers' salary fund, nod I shall aot allow it to be used for any other purpose. Uvea If tha teachers were not paid I could not allow this money to be diverted Into any other channel. It la safe to say, therefore, that It will go to pay He 'eacliers, and the schools will be kept W' en as usual until the end of the term tbe fiscal year." Thar foregoing statement was mads be Treasurer Bantel yesterday afternoon, and was supported by another equally positive, from Auditor Horton tlit lis would not approve anything but teachers' salary demands against the school fundi now in the treasurer's hands.

"The result of it all is," said Treasurer Buntel, supplementing his statement already quoted, that the Supervisors must try and find money somehow for the payment of the 1100,000 or more of bills due the merchants from, the school department, otherwise they may have to go unpaid. With that I have nothing to do. But the teachers will be paid. There is $240,000 of State money available for that purpose for the remainder of the fiscal year $80,000 for each of the three iuunth. In the absence of Chairman Gallagher of the Finance Committee, his colleague.

Supervisor Davis, expressed himself yesterday as strongly In favor of doing anything and everything pos-Hlble to aid the school department. Superintend-nt Horieovieri had called his attention to a clause of the charter authorizing, in cases of borrowing from other unustd funds for the benefit of the school fund, siu'li loans to be repaid by pro vision made in the budget for the fol lowing hscal year, even though it glit be necessary to levy a special ix for the purpose. If it could be shown that such a proceeding lould be legal, and other difficulties could be unioothed away. Supervisor Davis declared he would favor such action at the request of the school directors and superintendent. City Attorney Burke RtHted yesterday that he was expecting the question to be submitted to him from the School Hoard, or the Board of Supervisors.

But until this had been done and he had gone fully over the authorities he did not care to put himself on record In the matter. The entire question will be.discussed at length at Friday's meeting of the Supervisors' finance commit- jllc Works revived yesterdav his suggestions, made in the lately su-niiited budget estimate of his department, as to tha setting aside from the current revenues of the coming year a fund of to be used in supplementing the bond issue funds to be used for the construction of new school houses. Were this special appropriation made, President Duftey said, the money would be avilable immediately after the beginning of the new fiscal year, and buildings could bo pushed forward at once, without waiting for the sale of more bonds. WILL USE TENTS FOR TEMPORARY SCHOOLS Owing to the overcrowded condition of the public schools in the Richmond, Fairmount and Chenery districts, the Board of School Directors yesterday appealed to the relief committee to supply it with as many tents as pos sible, to bo used as summer school rooms for those children for whom the teachers have been unable to find room in the school buildings. he storage tents measure eighteen feet in width and twenty-five feet In length, and will each accommodate twenty.

five children. Twenty of these large tents were used with success in tioulcn date park last summer. I he reason the School Directors have been obliged to ask the relief committee for these tents again 1s because there seems but slight chance of the Board of Supervisors appropriating the $20.0110 for new buildings, which was asked for three weeks a.go, before it is too late to use the fund this school term. F. Walsh, president of no iiooi irioa.ru.

said yesterdav: This lino weather, the building of many new homes in the districts mentioned and the proximity of several of the schools to the tefugee camps are the main causes of the big overflow of pupils. In liie Hlchmond district, the Bergerot, Sutro and Piedmont Schools are so crowded that many children can find absolutely no Featiug room. "The tents which we have asked for can be ct up immediately, and will, during good weather, do very well as a supplement to our buildings until school ends. June 2Sth. The sehnnlx will not onen ae-a until Aiiiit lath seven weeKs- vacation, one week tiger than usual.

That will trive us a euance to put ud temporary buildinir during the summer." ISA ivimui IS. E. G. OUHGIE Mr. Klif.a G.
