ing on the Fall River Muir
der Sensation.

An old-time school-felow and lifetime
friend OF Andrew Borden, whose mystic
rious death last summer threw the entire
country into a ferment OF excitement. is
resident Of San Francisco and had much
to saw last night anent the murdered man
and his family.
Algernon NJ Cook cast in his lot with
California twenty-eight years ago, but
previous to that time his life from child
hood up was passed at Fall River. Mass.
Last summer he returned on visit to his
native town, and very few days after his
arrival Andrew Borden was murdered.
Upon being asked to say something
anent the personality of his murdered
friend Mr.. Cook said:
Andrew and 1 were second cousins.
and from my boyhood up l saw him al
most every day. Fall River ought really
TO lave been called BordentowD, for IL
was his ancestors who first settled on the
site of the present town in 1885.
ut was Andrews aunt, too" continued
Mr. Cook, ''whO discovered the skeleton in
armor which stimulated Longfellow to
write the appropriate verses. | saw 1t
many time in my young days IN the
Atheneum building, but big fire in 1S43
wiped building and skeleton both out of
existence.
''As he grew up Andrew was said to be
very close in money matters. but of that l
don't know anything personally. Anyway.
he was successful in his business ventures.
and his two girls will have quite S5OO.000
to divide between them.
Lizzie Borden / personally did not
know, for when 1 left Fall River She was q
baby in arms. and when | returned there

murder was committed, [ have niece

tleman, land she can tell you more about
Lizzie than l can"
us she pretty woman, or has she any
graces Of manner?" the reporter inquired.
"Without calling her actually pretty.
she has an attractive face, and in that the
newspapers have never done her justice.
She was thoughtful. studious kind of a
woman, but lacked many Of the charms OF
manner which attract"
1T is ell to remem Der also, interjected
Mr. Cnok. that the sole motive ascrbed
for Lzzlc's committing the crime was the
desir. 10 get her share OF the fathers
money. Now. as a matter Of fact. she
was in no need of money. She owned
property of her own and had bank stock.
and altogether was in no way dependent
on her father for her little needs to be
| gratified."
"How did general opinion run at Fall
Riverv' was asked of the Eastern visitor.
Well" she replied. "at first sympathy
was mainly with Lizzie. and this feeling
became more strong when sermons were
preached in the churches. and which had a
decided influence. During the trial she
lost friends. think, but it is quite safe tc
say there are as many who believe her ia
be an innocent. wronged woman as there
are those who believe the reverse. Any.
way" she concluded, 'the mystery Of the
murder is as great mystery as ever ant
probably will ever remain So"

THEY PAY NO LICENSES.
Scores of Peddlers Given Free Per-
mitS to Sell Fruit.

Scores of Peddlers Given Free Per-
mitS to Sell Fruit.
The License Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors has been very generous in the
matter OF granting free licenses to drivers
of banana wagons and nondescript for
eigners who vend cherries and oranges on
the streets.
Permits are granted to the vendors, most
of whom are able-bodied men. apparently
in no physical need of such a concession.
The permits are recorded in the office OF the
License Collector and free licenses Issued
in exchange. So far this month ninety
eight Of these licenses have been given
without fee and the propretors Of fruit
stands and stores are up in arms against
practice which they say 8 making seri-
Gus inrOads into their business. AS regu-
lar taxpayers themselves they contend
that it is unfair to allow the peddlers the
premium OF a free license to undermine
their trade.
The officials in the License Collectors
office also have a grievance, although an
individual one. They state that the free
licensed peddlers have come to believe that
the RENTING of the tax is equivalent to
comforting decoration for some special
virtues or eminent public services. The
free-licensed ones consider that they prop
erly take precedence over the ordinary
individuals who pay licenses, and are nn-
willing to wait their turn at the Office
counter. 1t Is claimed that they are i'm
pertinent and troublesome and there Is a
quarrel over the issuing OF free certifi-
cate almost every day.

That night the detectives arrested A.

him as the shoplifter. He wore a coat

A shoemaker's Complaint.

Daniel Meyer, the capitalist, is being

came demand for more thoroughfares.
Between Minnesota street where Shasta
street terminates and Kentucky street is a
level stretch of land, the property of the
Reiss family. and as no fence surrounded
1t teamsters naturally began to use it as a
road. Then after little while macadam
was laid on the stretch from Shasta street
and of equal width. For several years the
Reiss family allowed their land to be used
as public highway without interDosing
objections, but one day it dawned upon
one of them that somewhere . in the
statutes was law converting private land
into public property after it had been used
as a street for five years without inter-
ference.
1t was then that the fences and gates
were erected. and now in order to con-
tinue in possession of the land the gates
are closed for several days in each year.
and communication between Shasta and
Kentucky streets is completely shut off.
During the time that the gates are closed
the roadway is plowed and wheat is sown
to make it resemble a field. Then when
they are thrown open again . heavy roller
is driven over the ground and new coat

A PECULIAR THOROUGHFARE
The History of a P0trero Street
Which in Reality Is Not a

A PECULIAR THOROUGHFARl

There is a street over on the Potrero
which resembles for all the world the en-
trance to some private grounds.
For distance of several blocks 1t IS
lined with fencing and is intersected by
high swinging gates.
Hardly a person visits that territory
whose attention is not attracted to 1t and
many are the explanations offered Tor Its
existence.
The gates are used to protect street,
which in reality is not street. from be-
coming street.
This explanation may seem muddled. but
still ii is correct as the circumstances sur
rounding the erection of the gates clearly
prove.
The streets over on the Potrero are most
peculiar.
They start out with no apparent object
in view and terminate in most OutlandIsn
places. Particularly is this so of Shasta
street. 1t begins way up on the side OF a
hill. and, after winding in and out,
terminates within two blocks of kentucky
street, which. by the way, Is the main
driveway to and from the Potrero.

came thickly populated where Shasta
