"IT is AN IMPOSITION"
What the Property-Owners Say OF {
Sixteenth Street Extension.

What the Property-Owners Say OF the
sixteenth-street Extension.
The Sixteenth-street trouble came up be-
fore the Street Committee OF the Board Of
Supervisors yesterday,
Attorney Smith appeared on behalf of the
Mission Real Estate Union to protest
Sixteenth-street commissioners and aske1
that the estimates for the work already done
be reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
1t was urged, too, that the Supervisors
should defer all action in the matter so that
the Legislature might have chance to re-
peal the whole law.
And you people not pay cent?? inter-
Tupted Attorney Sullivan for the commits
sion.
That's it, exactly. The whole thing is
an imposition and we should not have to
pay out dollar if the Legislature were to
repeal the law. provided no part of the
commissioners report Is confirmed"
How about those who made the searches
OF the records, shouldn't they even be- COM
pensated?' asked Supervisor Tabor
Certainly, but not by us. You have
forced this whole thing upon us against our
vigorous protest. You have made US bny
the land and now you ask US to pay for prov
ing the title"
There was much of the same kind of talk
before the committee. The commission
came in for some hot shot, buYthe Street
Committee took no decided action.
Protests were filed which resulted In stop
ping the following work for six months :
Paving the crossing Of Fillmore and Grove
streets; also the paving Of Fillmore street,
from Grove to Hayes; also the paving of
Geary, from Baker TO Lyon; also Scott,
from Clay TO Sacramento; Scott from Cali
foTnia TO Sacramento.

Barber johnson Has Imitator In
Richard Berendsohn.
Richard Berendsohn, young man, was
found dead yesterday morning in his room
at the dwelling OF DIR. C. (. Cooper, 1915
Hyde street, where he had resided since his
arrival In this city.
The deceased was an advertising solicitor
and was last employed on the Chicago Mail.
he came here month ago and gave his
name as "R- Burns0D." He occupied
small slceve room and it was there that be
ended his life by inhaliDg Illuminating gas.
He had read OF the manner In which Barber
johnson committed suicide and initiated his
method. He attached rubber tube to the
gasjet and inhaled the deadly substance
through his mouth. Before turning on the
gas he carefully filled the keyhole aud crew
ices in the room with paper.
When discovered at o'clock yesterday
morning he was dead and his body was sent
to the Morgue. where an inquest was held
and q verdict OF suicide returned. Be-
rendsobn was "a years OF age and native
of Germany He left four letters. The first
is addressed to the Coroner and stated that
''my death is due to asphyxiation caused by
nhaliDg the gas which have turned on with
my own hands"
TO DIR. Cooper be apologiZed for trouble
caused by the suicide, asked that the news
be kept from his mother, and begged that
the cause OF his death be stated As heart
failure"
A third letter was written to bis mother,
Mrs. b. BerendsohD, who lives at 10 Papen
street, Hamburg.
The fourth letter was addressed to Miss
Gertie Kellogg, Winfield, Tenn. In this let
ter he sent photograph, and asked her not
to write until she heard from him again.
Dependency over the loss of his money
was probably the cause of the suicide.
Among the effects were bank books sho W.
credit in Eastern banks. No money or lew
elry was found on his personor in his room.
For some reason he changed his name upon
coming to this country. All his letters were
signed az Rnrnsnn

and for that reason the girls are eminently
just in the stand they have taken IN regard
to uniforms.
Since the publication in THE CALL of the
story relating 10 the black garb worn by the
girls in photograph gallery feellDg Oh
unrest has broken out In the bosoms OF
some fifty somber uniforms in downtown
store.
In each of these uniforms Is a young
woman who used to wear what she pleased
while waiting on customers IN the store.
But in an evil moment the uniform lad
broke out in the proprietor.
Since then the girls have been very I'M
happy, and several of them have threatened
TO write pieces TO the papers with view to
inauguratiDg a much needed dress reform.
1t was several weeks ago that the pro-
prietor issued his order for the girls TO APP
pear at their respective counters in black.
They did so, and now the Interior OF the
store is so gloomy that they keep the gas
burning daytimes.
Nothing but black is allowed in the way
of dress. In fact, there is premium OH
black, and any girl who shows up for work
in the morning with black eye is liable to
have her salary raised.
a few days ago one of the girls appeared
in a white collar. but was Immediately
ordered TO take ii off, 1t is expected that in
few days the girls will be requested to
take black coffee only at their meals.
Over at San Quentin and similar ins THU
lions the management furnishes the uni
form TO its help free of cost, but this happy
condition of affairs has notyet been reached
in dTy-goods stores and photograph galleries.
The only female employe who is not die
tated to ia the matter Of dress is the type
writer girl 1t is all her proud spirit can
endure to take the dictatiOn necessary in
the business.
Something should be done TO amelorate
the condition of the suffering shopgrl.
Those somber robes are distasteful 10 her.
They not only make her look like widow
but are a dead give away" in cases of
dandruff. The proprietors should relent
and let the girls blossom out in gewgaws
and fuTbelOws once more.

The killing and Packing of Meat VIII
Soon Begin.
W. II. Silbverhorn, general manager of
the Union Stoekyard Company, whose ex-
tensive meat-paekiDg establishment at
Roden, on San Pablo Bay, is nearing COM
pletion, has Just returned from months
trip East. Mr.. Silbverhorn visited Sioux
City. Kansas City, Chicago, New York and
other places in the interest of his company,
and came back brim-ul OF enthusiasm for
ali their gigantic enterprises on the Pacific
Coast
The slaughter of cattle, sheep and hogs
and the canning, curing and shipping Of
meats will begin at Redeo. he says, within
a very short time. All that is lacking is the
arrival of few pieces of machinery which
have been delayed. Once under full head
way the modern methods of handling live
stock and treating meats praetieed by the
Union Stockyard Company will infuse new
life into the business of stock-raiSiDg
throughout California and the adjoining
States. San Francisco will feel the benefit
in the Improvement in the quality of its
beef, mutton and pork, and the farmer in
the increased prices paid him fer his cattle,
hogs and sheep.
