CHANGES IN THE STREETS.
That Are Favored by the
Supervisors.

Alterations That Are Favored by the
Supervisors.
The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors held an all-day session yester-
day to hear the petitions of various
property owners who desired changes
made in the streets in which they are in
terested.
Land holders from Stevenson street from
Sycamore to Twenty-first, q distance of
81 blocks, were present to petition that
the name of the street for that distance be
changed to Lexington avenue. Their
main objection was that the majority of
people in the city do not know that Ste
venson street runs further than Valencia
because of the way in which the street is
cut up, there being many blocks through
which the street is not cut. The commit
tee granted the petition.
A delegation from Scott and Fell streets
was also on hand to ask for an order for
bituminous pavement on Fell street, be-
tween Scott and Deylsadero. They said
that the railroad company had torn up the
street and left it in such condition that it
was dust heap in summer and mud hole
in winter, and that the sewers were in seri
Gus danger from the matter washed into
them, The petition was granted.
Residents of the Richmond district asked
that A, B and G streets and Second, Third
and Fourth avenues be cut through the

SHAKESPEARE His SUBJECT.
FREDERICK WARDE LECTURES IN
AID OF THE MERCANTILE
LIBRARY.
ENTERTAINING REVIEW OF THE
DRAMA AND MANY HIS
TORIC PLAYS.

When Frederick Warde, the tragedian,
approached the edge of the platform in
Metropolitan Hall yesterday afternoon
every available inch of space throughout
the house was occupied, for the most part
with ladies-matrons, sehoolteachers and
students. The subject of the lecturers re-
marks, Shakespeare and His Plays" was
in itself sufficient to attract a goodly at
tendance, but the mere fact that the pro-
ceeds were to be devoted to the Woman's
Auxiliary of the Mercantile Library proved
a magnet which few interested ones could
resist. The result was literary feast and
a goodly sum was realized for the benefit
of one of San Franciscos oldest and fore
most educational institutions.
The unusually large attendance of ladies
was made doubly evident when Mr.. Warde
in making the usual Introductory said:
Ladies and-well, take it for granted
there are few representatives of the
sterner sex present, but l must confess it
would require microscopic examination
to discover them. However, it is ex-
tremely gratifying to note that the ladies
of San Francisco are not only interested
in the literary achievements of the Bard
of Avon but are anxious to lend q helping
hand in supporting such worthy institu-
ton as the Mercantile Library"
Continuing, the speaker then gave a
brief biography of Shakespeare's life, after
which he reviewed the drama from the
time of Festis to the present day. OF ali
callings in life, he said, that of the histri-
onic actor was the foremost as an instruc-
tor and elevator of the people. The sculp-
tor might carve, and the painter reproduce
in color the beauties of nature, but the
actor was called upon to depict and bring
to life the characters which have made the
histories of all ages fascinating.
Mr.. Warde then launched into a rhe-
torical and careful review OF Shakespeare s
principal plays. His remarks on Hamlet
were particularly interesting, inasmuch as
the wildly discussed mental condition OF
the Prince of Denmark was made promi-
nent feature of the speaker remarks. He
ventured no opinion, but allowed his
hearers to draw an inference by quoting
most charming utterances of the mel
ancholy Dane and reconciling his actions
with his surroundings and circumstances.
Bluff King Hal, Cardinal Wolsey,
Othello, Falstaff and many other of the
characters in Shakespeare's works were
| referred 70 at some length and the lecture
closed with a stirring appeal to the present
generation to study and absorb the works
of the immortal Shakespeare.

IT Was His LAST VOYAGE.
PETERSON LEFT HIS BRIDE AND
WAS LOST IN THE
OCEAN SPRAY.
He WAS MARRIED A FEW DAYS
BEFORE THE ILL-STARRED
SCHOONER SAILED.

When the luckless schooner Ocean Spray
came home without her crew she was met
by at least one person who is now looking
tearfully seward for tidings of the lost
men.
John Peterson, one of the lost sailors,
was married a few days before his de-
parture on the fatal trip, and his wife, in
their new cottage at West Berkeley, half
demented over her atfiiction, will not be-
lieve that her husband will never return.
During his years of seafaring life he
saved his earnings and purchased a lot
across the bay, upon which he had just
erected residence. The improvements
were not quite paid for, and he intended to
make one more trip and then find employ
ment on shore, where he could enjoy the
home he had made for himself. His wife
was girl he had known in the old coun-
try, and from whom he had parted when
he came to the United States.
They were to be married when he could
provide her a home, but she concluded
that she could wait for their wedding day
here as well as in far Norway and so she
followed her lover over the ocean, arriving
in San Francisco about two years ago.
She found employment as domestic,
and their combined earnings almost paid
for the Berkeley house and lot.
Mrs. Peterson called upon N. Iversen
yesterday and told her sad story. He
could give her no hope and the frantic
woman had to be conveyed to the resi-
dence of an acquaintance, where she is
being taken care of until her husband re-
turns or until her great grief wears itself
away.
No tiding regarding the fate of the five
men has been received, and there is not
the slightest chance of their being alive.
Iversen believes that the boat went adrift
from the schooner during the stormy
night Of their departure from the landing.
and that the vessel struck reef and
toppled over, The hull being almost sub
merged, the crew could not cling to the

THE CHARITY OF
THE CHILDREN .
SENDING IN SUFFICIENT SUPPLIES
FOR THE POOR ONES OF
THE CITY.
SALVATIONISTS KEPT BUSY.
SUPERINTENDENT MoULDER's CIR
CULAR TO THE PUPILS HAS
PRODUCED RESULTS.

1t is great work of charity that the
children of the public schools are doing at
the suggestion of Superintendent Moulder,
with the Salvation Army as their almon-
ers. Up at the Army's headquarters on
Market street Captain McFee is devoting
all his time from early in the morning
until late in the evening receiving applica-
lions for help, registering the applicants,
and sending out mis- assistants to investi-
gate the cases, and learn what is needed.
Although there are hundreds of applicants
each day for week now since the work of
distribution began, there is plenty of
everything in the way of clothing and food
for all.
Down at the army's food and shelter
home large staff is busy receiving and
distributing the supplies.
Captain McFee said yesterday: ''The
work these children are doing is immense.
No one has any idea the good those little
folks can do when they go at it. The time
OF everybody up here at headquarters and
down at the food and shelter house on Pa
chic street is all taken up in handling the
supplies that are coming in and giving
them out. | DOM think that there will be
any trouble about caring for all the poor
in the city for the next six weeks, which
will carry them over the bad season."
The supplies which have come in in
clude stacks of clothing, nearly 200 sacks
of potatoes, over 100 sacks of -four, and
beans, rice, tea, coffee and other groceries
in proportion, besides supplies of wood
and coal.
There is plenty of variety in all the sup
plies sent in except in the clothing. While
there is plenty of clothing for women and
children there is not much underwear and
trousers for men. Each school has sent in
several wagon-loads. Besides all this 1929
in cash and a great many orders for gro
ceries and wood and coal have been re-
ceived.
The following schools have contributed I:
Lowell High, Washington, Hearst, Clement,
Golden Gate, Hamilton, Irving, Mission,

Yet they are not to blame, for infor-

Oakland and the Road.
The Oakland terminal committee was
stirred up yesterday over the efforts of San
Jose, but like San Jose does not want to
enter into pull-and-haul fight for all the
good things that the new railroad will
nave 70 give. Oakland thinks San Jose
should not be ignored, and thinks also
that Oakland, with her 100000 annual
Terry passengers, presents an argument
recSors come to look about for paying pas
senger traffic.
The committee stated yesterday that the
second $le0,0o0 was in sight and that the
prospects were never brighter. Yesterday
the following letter was sent to number of
property owners who cannot be directly
reached:

AFTER The SCALP OF YOUNG Mr.

The trial of the famous libel suit of

Sherman Jr. was commenced yesterday in
the Police Court be fore Judge w God and
packed lobby. Mr.. Sherman appeared as
his own attorney, while Assistant District
Attorney Melvin and Thomas Clarity ap-
peared for the people and for Schaffer.
The appearance of Mr.. Clarity, whom
Mr.. Melvin introduced as his associate
came very near causing trouble at the out
set, for when it was announced that he
would assist in the prosecution Mr.. Sher-
man promptly arose and said thatw while he
had no objection to Mr.. Clarity appearing
in the case he would like to know whether
the gentleman represented Mr.. Schaffer or
the saloon men whom he has often APP
peared for in conrt.
This shot from Sherman fell like a
thunderbolt in the camp of the prosecu-

JUDICIARY AND THE PRESS.
An Affidavit That Aroused Judge
Campbell to Anger.


"When the cases against A. B. Hender-
son, managing editor, and L. L. Levings,
reporter, of the Examiner, charged with
criminal libel by Mrs. Annie Combs, were
first called in my court, suggested that
as there had been some friction between
me and the paper it would perhaps be
better if the cases were transferred to an
other court" said Police Judge Campbell
yesterday. "rhe defendants did not adopt
the suggestion, and since then two con-
tinuances were granted at their request"
Yesterday morning over twenty wit
nesses for the prosecution were in the
court and the Judge was ready to 90 on
with the preliminary examination when
Garret McEnerney, attorney for the de-
PENDANTS, filed an affidavit for change of
venue on the ground of personal bias and
prejudice. The affidavit among other rea-
sons for the Judges bias and prejudice re-
ferred to the fact that the Examiner had
proclaimed that 'the Judge was unfit to
hold his Office or any other office; that he
was prostituting his position and violating
his oath of office; that he consorted with
and was companion and intimate Of the
criminal class, and that causes are tried
and decided by him without regard to their
merits and solely and wholly upon account
of the real or supposed political influence
of persons connected with, or interested in
the decision of such causes"
The Judge listened to the reading of the
affidavit with growing anger, and at its
conclusion he retorted in kind .iDo YOU
think" he said, that / would stultify nv
self and prostitute the dignity of my office
by allowing the malicious and cowardly
attacks of such dirty, lying sheet to warp
my judgment? The result of its malicious
and lying attacks upon me was to secure
my election by an overwhelming majority.
don't want to try your case, and you can
transfer it to any court you please" An
order was made transferring the cases to
Judge Lows court.

The War Regarding Stamped Bottles
Is Renewed.
The war between the brewers and beer
bottlers in connection with the disappear
ance of stamped bottles has been renewed
with increased bitterness.
James Franks Jr., who has a beer-bot-
Ting establishment at Hermann and Fill
more streets, was arrested yesterday after
noon on two warrants charging him with
misdemeanor in violating the act of 1891
bearing on stamped bottles.
The complaining witnesses are J. Lang
of the fredericksburg brewery, and G..
Gehret of the California Bottling Com
pany, representing the Pacific Coast Bot
tling Association. Both allege that the
defendant has been buying and using their
stamped bottles.
Last year the Pacific Coast Association
lost over $4,000 worth of bottles. They had
one man arrested who had 519 of their
bottles on his premises, and had him con-
victed and punished.
