THE SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINEK- -WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1907. WILL KEEP AND TEACHERS GET THEIR SALARY' -Treasurer Bantel City Treasurer Declares He Has $240,000 of State Money Available. NAILL PREVENT DIVERSION Official Insists School Board Must Make Other Arrangements for Supplies. "There need be no fear of the schools being closed for lack of money to pay the teachers because of the heavy expenditure by the directors for material and supplies furnished. 'The money available to the credit of the school board belongs to the teachers' salary fund, and I shall not allow it to be used for any other purpose.

Even if the teachers were not paid I could not allow this money to be diverted Into any other channel. It is sate to say, therefore, it will go to pay the teachers, and I the schools will be kept as usual until the end of the term Sir the fiscal year." The foregoing statement was made by Treasurer Bantel yesterday afternoon, and was supported by another equally positive, from Auditor Horton that he would, not approve anything but teachers' salary demands against the school funds now in the treasurer's hands. "The result of it all is," said Treasurer Bantel, supplementing his statement already quoted, "that the Supervisors must try and find money somehow for the payment of the $100,000 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 for each of the three months." 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 possible to aid the school department. Superintendent Roncovieri had called his attention to a clause of the charter authorizing, in cases of emergency. borrowing from other unused funds for the benefit of the school fund. such loans to be repaid by provision made in the budget for the following fiscal year, even though it ght be necessary to levy a special dX for the, purpose. If it could be shown that such proceeding Would be legal, and other difficulties could be smoothed away.

Supervisor Davis declared he would favors such action at the request of the school directors a and superintendent. City Attorney stated, yesterday that he was expecting question to be submitted to him from the School Board. or the Board of Supervisors. But until this had been and had gone fully over the authorities he did not to put himself on record In the matter. The entire question will be discussed at length at Friday's meeting of the Supervisors' finance committee, President Duffey of the Board of Public Works revived yesterday his suggestions, made in the lately subbudget estimate of his department, as to the setting aside from the current revenues of the coming year a fund of $500,000 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 Duffey said, the money would be avilable immediately after the beginning of the new fiscal year, forward and at buildings without could be pushed once, 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 possible, to be used as summer schoolrooms for those children for whom the teachers have been unable to find room in the school buildings. 'The 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 Golden Gate park last summer. The reason the School Directors have been obliged to ask the relief committee for these tents again is because there seems but slight chance of the Board of Supervisors appropriating the $20,000 for new buildings, which was asked for three weeks ago, before it is too late to use the fund this school term.

Director L. F. Walsh, president of School Board, said yesterday: "This fine weather, the building of many new homes in the districts mentioned and the proximity of several of schools to the refugee camps are the main causes of the big overflow of pupils. In the Richmond district, the Bergerot, Sutro and Piedmont Schools are SO crowded that many children can find absolutely no seating room. "The tents which have asked for can be sot up immediately, and will, during good weather, do very well as a supplement buildings until school ends, June 28th.

The schools will not open again until August 19th, seven weeks' vacation, one week pager than usual. That will give us a chance to put up temporary buildings during the summer." DEATH SUMMONS WAS. E. G. DARGIE Mrs.

Lichtenstein, a well-known pioneer of this city, was suddenly stricken with heart failure yesterday afternoon in his home, at 2722 Sutter street, and died before the arrival of Dr. Herzog, who had been summoned.

Lichtenstein came to California in 1848. Shortly after his arrival he established the Pony Express Company, between San Francisco and Sacramento, that later became the Wells, Fargo Express Company. Lichtenstein was the owner of much property in this city, and among his holdings was the Hanford block, in Market street. He wes also senior member of the Lichtenstein Realty Company.

R. Swartwout. E.

R. Swartwout, wanted by the Goldfield police on charges of forgery and stealing stock certificates, and who is alleged to have disposed of the stolen certificates in this city under the name of 'J. A. Shiller, was yesterday apprehended through the alertness of Thomas A. Hanrahan, a clerk in the employ of D.

G. Doubleday, a broker on the Stock and Exchange Board. Hanrahan recognized in Swartwout, whom he noticed in the boardroom of the Stock and Exchange Board yesterday morning, the man who disposed of 500 stolen shares of Francis Mohawk stock through Doubleday's office last January. He immediately to telephone for the police. Swartwout, noticing that lie was being watched.

left the Exchange and walked down Bush street to Market street and thence to Beale, where he entered the Oasis saloon. Hanrahan, who had followed him closely, found a policeman and entering the saloon, demanded Swartwout's arrest. According to Hanrahan, Swartwout came into Doubleday's office on January 17th last and said he was very anxious to sell 500 shares of Francis Mohawk stock that he had in his possession. He was willing to dispose of them below the current market price. Doubleday sold the shares for $450 and Swartwout indorsed the cheek for that amount with the name of J.

A. Shiller. Swartwout denies that he masqueraded as J. A. Shiller or that he ever had any dealings with Doubleday.

After his arrest yesterday he wrote the name of J. A. Shiller, at Hanrahan's request, and the writing was the exact counterpart of the signature on the $450 check. Shortly after the sale of the 500 shares of stock, the certificate for which was numbered 859, the Francis Mohawk Company sent out notices that that certificate had been stolen. Transfer was stopped on the certificate and it was returned to Doubleday.

The Chief of Police in Goldfield has wired here. text Swartwout is wanted for forgery and theft of certificates of Goldfield Columbia stock. Hanrahan will claim the $250 reward that has been offered for his arrest. Swartwout, who has been stopping at the Savoy Hotel, was evicted several days ago on non-payment of rent. He stated yesterday that he had slept the night before with a friend on Ellis street and later contradicted the statement by saying that he had been about the streets all night.

KOREA SAILS WITH MANY PASSENGERS Liner Also Carries 5,000 Tons of Freight for Honolulu and Orient. ALONG THE WATER FRONT, April The Pacific Mail Company's big liner Korea, commanded by Captain Sandberg, left her berth at pier 42 promptly at 11 o'clock this morning, but it was after 1 o'clock when she passed out of the harbor on her way to Honolulu and the Orient. The Korea was held for the ship's papers. The Korea was the first large steamer to leave from the company's new pier. The vessels of the Pacific Mail have generally sailed at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but in the case of the Korea this was changed to two hours earlier SO that she could get away on the high tide.

Among the passengers were Mrs. J. W. Martin and her daughter Isabella, who arrived here this morning from New York on the steamer Newport. That vessel reached the harbor shortly after 8 o'clock this morning, and it was after 10 o'clock when the quarantine and customs officials had passed the Newport.

As they were booked to leave at 11 o'clock on the Korea, the tug Arabs took them and their baggage off the Newport while she was on her way up the bay and landed them on the Korea a few minutes before the salling The carries a full list of passengers, eighty of whom are destined for Honolulu. The liner also has about 6.000 tons of general cargo. Adopt Regular Schedule. The Oceanic Steamship Company will establish a ten-day schedule between this port and Honolulu, commencing with the sailing of the steamer Sierra next Tuesday. She will run in conjunction with the Alameda.

A large number of passengers have already been booked for the Sierra for her first trip on the short run, and owing to the crowded condition of the Pacific Mail liners from the Orient the Sierra will probably carry a full passenger list on her return trip. To Command Senator. Captain Weaver, who is to command the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steamer Senator to Nome and St. Michaels, arrived here this morning from Seattle on the steamer City of Puebla. Captain Weaver is one of the most popular skippers plying Alaskan waters, and for some time past has been in the employ of the Northwestern Steamship Company of Seattle.

He will reside in this city with his family until the latter part of May, when the Senator will sail from here for Seattle to go on the Nome run. Arrives From Panama. The Pacife Mail Company's steamer Newport, Captain Russell commanding. arrived this morning from and Central American ports with eighteen cabin and nine Chinese passengers and considerable freight. Part of the cargo consisted of 8,076 sacks of coffee.

The Newport had an uneventful trip and arrived several days behind her schedule. The cabin passengers were Mrs. J. W. Martin, Miss Isabella Martin, G.

J. von Jennyngs, Mrs. G. von Jennyngs, H. von Jennyngs, 'M.

Ehrhart, Mrs. Rose Quimby and three children, Mrs. V. S. Smith, Eugene Smith, A.

Humphreys, Mrs. A. Humphreys, Oliver Humphreys, F. H. Clark, M.

P. Morgan and Victor W. Matten. Water Front Notes. The Pacific Mail Company's steamer Siberia sailed from Honolulu for this port at 6 o'clock last evening and will reach here about noon Sunday.

The steamer is bringing a full list of cabin passengers. The steamer San Jose is expected to arrive here about Thursday from Central American ports. The steamer San Juan wil sail at noon to-morrow for the lower coast with a number of passengers and a large amount of freight. The schooner Charles Hanson, which was formerly used as whaler, will be placed in the lumber trade on this coast. The gasoline engine will be removed TEACHER IN COURT TO OUTWIT BOARD Directors Puzzled by Margaret Mahoney's Petition to Take Their Depositions, Margaret Mahoney, president of the San Francisco Teachers' Federation, against whom recently charges were fled with the Board of Education on the ground of insubordination, has petitioned the Superior for the right to take the depositions of Thomas F.

covieri, R. H. Webster, W. Howard Boyle, Aaron Altman, RonAlfredo and T. L.

Heaton. 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 Board and the Superintendent of Schools will be the adverse parties. In the petition is set forth an outline of the facts she thinks necessary to be proved at the expected litigation. This outline includes the fact that the school site at Bush and Stockton streets was recommended by the Superjor Judges as a site for a Judicial Building; that finances of the School Department are crippled and that the Board of Education 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 Bush and Stockton-street site was merely nomInal); that the Bush street property is needed by the School 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 the Federation protested about the lease and the petitioner signed the protest; that the Board threatens to dismiss her unless she denies what was stated in the protest. Attorney Hillyer of Hillyer, Mann O'Brien, who represent the petitioner, said he could not state whether his client would begin an action to prethe Board from ousting her or whether she would start a suit to stop the use of the site named for other than school purposes.

Superintendent of Schools Roncovieri declares he cannot understand the move, as although charges have been filed against the petitioner no date for hearing them has been set, and the president of the Federation cannot tell yet whether they will be heard at all. He 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. PRINTERS' MUTUAL AID SOCIETY PLANS PICNIC Outing Will Be Enjoyed by Members at Fairfax Park June 16th. The Union Printers' Mutual Aid Society is planning for an annual outing to be held at Fairfax Park on June 16th.

Phillips and F. D. Blanchard. PALACE HAS 10 YEAR LEASE OF FAIRMONT Annual Rental Is $105,000, With Right to Renew at $120,000. The new Palace Hotel Company 1s now in possession of the Fairmont Hotel by lease, documents to that effect having been signed yesterday noon.

In spite of repeated denials to the contrary, "The Examiner' last week and yesterday outlined the character of the negotiations which have now been perfected and admitted. After the signing of the lease yesterday, Senator F. G. Newlands, of the Palace Hotel Company, through Thomas Magee, issued the following statement: "The Palace Hotel Company has leased Fairmont Hotel for the period years at an annual rental othen of $105,000, in addition to insurance and taxes. It takes over the furniture at cost.

It has an option of renewal at the expiration of the ten years at an annual rental of $120,000. The Palace Hotel Company will take over the property on the first of May, next. "The plans of the Palace Hotel are now ready and the steel has been ordered and will be in place within a few months. The building of the Palace Hotel will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped that it will be completed in January, 1909." It is known that the negotiations were of the most spirited character and would have come to naught but for the diplomacy of Willian H. Crocker and Thomas Magee.

By obliging the Palace Company to pay taxes and interest addition to an annual rental of $105,000, the Laws assuredly get 4 per per annum on a fair valuation of the lot and building of their hotel property, so it is said. The Palace people are satisfied with the lease bargain because they believe they can soon make the income of the Fairmont pay current expenses and in addition a dividend on the five millions of stock of the Palace Company during thirty and forty months the new Palace Hotel is being built. The Fairmont Hotel at present has a very expensive staff of officials. Manager N. M.

Kellar gets $1,000 a month and the chef from Paris, a similar amount. They have got a year's guarantee from the Laws. The Palace people may Or may not retain them after May first. If not, the Palace people are to pay them their guarantee. On May first, Assistant Manager Rich of the Palace, takes charge of of Colonel J.

C. Fitzpatrick. Rich of the Fairmont as the a representative ranks as one of the highest-priced men ever employed by the Palace people, and is given free rein to handle the Fairmont until the return of J. C. Kirkpatrick from Europe next August.
