San Francisco, Dec. 3.— Judge Sturte- vant, of the Superior court, yesterday decided that the board of supervisors had no right to appropriate $760,000 from the tax fund for the purchase of the Geary street railway. The board of supervisors instituted suit to have the ordinance declared invalid on the ground that the city’ s charter provides for municipal operation of public utili­ ties only by direct vote of the people, or when the city’s unexpended revenues will permit of snch investments, and neither provision prevails.

Prsaidani's Message Is to Bo aJQon- sarvative Document. Washington, Dec. 2.— It Is said that President Rooesvelt’ s annual message to congiees w ill open with a broad and confident expression of balief in the nwouicwi of America and an appeal to tbe cltisena to keep thier money In cir­ culation. It w ill be patriotic in tone, conserv­ ative without being reactionary. The message w ill be regarded by many as a political work of art. It reaches oat to reassure and please the business man, tbe railroad man, the working man, the farmer, tbe labor agitator. Tbe president is in favor of currency legislation. He would have provision made for the issuance by the banks of an emergency currency, eafely secured by good bonds, which should be taxed enough to make it unprofitable to con­ tinue its use after the emergency had passed. The president is in favor of legisla­ tion that w ill give the railroads a chance to live. He would have the Gherman anti-trust law amended. It should be changed so as to permit cer­ tain very proper combinations, neces­ sary fo industrial progress, and also made to prevent other combinations that; are opposed to the public interest. Mr. Roosevelt thinks the tariff should be revised at proper periods, but noth­ ing is to be done In that direction with his consent until the next presidential election. He looks with favor on tbe proposal to remove the tax on print paper and palp, but only conditioned on the Canadian government permitting its pulp wood to enter the United States free of an export tax. Though he wants the condition of the women and children who work in factories improved, he wants more in­ vestigation cf the subject. So, too, the president wants technical training ex­ tended to tbe farmer. He does not ex­ pect congress will enact any of his ■ ecommendations at this session, ex­ cept. perhaps, currency reform and rail­ road relief. I f his present plans are carried out, he w ill not have any fights on his hands with oongresr. It Quiets the Cough This is one reason why Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is so valua­ ble in consumption.
