SOUTH SIDE IMPROVEMENT
The Executive Committee of
South Of Market Street Clubs
Still Alive.
It Wants Folsom Street, Between
the Rails, Paved With
Blum en-.

The executive committee of the South
side improvement clubs, having learned
that it Is the purpose of the Market
street Railway system at an early
day to put through the Folsom-street
line, and that it will probably pave be-
tween the tracks with basalt blocks, is
taking steps to induce the company to use
bitumen instead of blocks.
The committee held a meeting last even
ing in the office OF DR.. A. F. Rottanzi to
discuss the matter. After the president
had briefly stated the objects of the meet
ing, A. B. Mcguire stated that it was
proper that the committee took some
action, if only for the purpose of showing
that the clubs, though not sctive in the
past two months, are still alive and awake
to the necessities that brought them into
existence.
He said that if some steps were not taken
to induce the company to use bitumen, it
would surely lay down the basalt blocks
and then 1t might be many years before
the ends sought for by the clubs could be
attained. The people of the Mission dis
trlct, he said, want one decent thorough
fare from Twenty-sixth street to the water
front, and it is Folsom street that they
want.
| The Supervisors, he added, had not made
any appropriation for the Southside and
| he thought it was time that the people OF
that section, which occupies one-third of
| the area of the City, contains nearly one
| third of the population and pays taxes on
| 81, 900 600, should have some recognition.
But the Supervisors appropriated $15,-
900 for the Fifteenth-street sewer" sug-
gested one of the members.
"That does not count" retorted Mr.,
| Mcguire. ''It is not for the benefit of the
Mission district; it is simply to drain the
! Park district"
! Another member remarked that if the
| clubs had raised good sum and placed
it where it would do the most good the
wants of the Southside would have been
| looked after.
81, for one," said Dr. Rottanzi, "am,
first and last, opposed to any such methods.
l would not contribute one cent for any
such purpose"
"And l." added Mr.. Mcguire "would
not accept any improvements under such
conditions. and the sooner that topic is
| dropped the better"
81 would like to say that | have exam
ined the report of Superintendent of Streets
| for 1S94-95,' said President Schwartz,
'and find that during that period the
| amount expended by the Street Depart
ment for the entire Southside was $7707 O8,
and the work done was on the Brannan-
| street sewer, repairs to two blocks on Sixth
| street and some repairs in front of Colum-
bia square"
After some general talk as to the best
| method of bringing the matter of paving
between the rails before the railway au-
| thorities it was decided that a committee
should call upon HI. E. Huntington and
have talk with him. The following were
appointed as such committee l. Schwartz,
A. B. Mcguire, Captain G. A. Raabe, H.
Sommers, J. II. WEBSTER, f. A. McKewen,

and FL. B. Russ. This committee will call
upon Mr.. Huntington within the next two

He WANTS TO DIVIDE,
Adam Grants Suit to Have the
Murphy.Grant Property
Distributed.
A Day Consumed in Arguments Upon
the Question Before Judge
Slack.

The suit of Adam Grant to have the
Murphy-Grant property sold and distrib-
uted was on argument before Judge Slack
all day yesterday. There was determined
opposition from the attorneys for the Muir
ply girls and at O. clock none of the par
ties had finished.
There were five attorneys representing
over twice as many clients in the case,
Mr.. Deering appeared for Mrs. Dominguez
formerly Miss Mary Ellen Murphy, Miss
Frances Murphy and Miss Isabella MUIR
ply; A. A. Moore represented the admin
istrators of Mrs. Anna Murphy's estate F.;
Lloyd & Wood represented Adam Grant |;
Charles A. Whe eler spoke for Dan and
Sam Murphy and for Lady Woolsey, and
Mr.. Earl looked after the interests of the
minor heirs of Eugene Murphy.
The estate of Mrs; Anna Murphy, de-
ceased, which included fourteen twenty
fourths OF the Murphy Grant property, is
now in litigation, and on this fact the de-

lection to the distribution of the property.
The Murphy girls do not want the MUIR
phy-Grant property sold-at least until the
questions now pending in the Oakland
courts are settled. Mr. Deering. in his ad-
dress to the court, argued that it was i'm
possible to properly distribute the prop
erty until the interests of all parties had
been settled. Should the Murphy girls
wish to bid on the property Mr.. Deering
argued, they would not, at the present
time, know just what they were bidding
on. They claim nine twenty-fourths of
the property in question, but, in the pro-
bate case in Oakland, the contention is
that they are entitled to bat three twenty
fourths. Should it be decided that this
latter figure is their interest in the prop
erty, it would, Mr.. Deering said, make
vast difference in their bids on the sale,
should they desire to bid. Therefore, he
maintained, the property should not be
sold for distribution until this question of
inheritance is settled.
1t was argued on the other side that the
Oakland court had to do with the Murphy
interest in the property. and not with
Grants, and that, therefore, he should not
be deprived of his property until the
Murphys had settled their differences. The
Murphy boys are siding with Grant in the
suit. The case will go on again to-day.

NOTHING IN THE CASE.
Charge of Felony EmbezzIementA gains

Charge of Felony Embezzlement A gainst
Caro- Bros. Dismissed.
The case of A. w. Caro- and I. W. Caro-,
importers of woolens, 723 Market street,
charged with felony embezzlement, was
dismissed by Judge Campbell yesterday,
as there was no evidence to support the
charge.
The complaining witness was Mrs. Ella
Sproles, LOG Eddy street. She had arranged
with G. +. Langtry, a tailor, to go into the
tailoring business with him and gave him
$3.50 to buy goods Langtry went to Caro-
Bros. and purchased $500 worth of goods,
paying them $150 on account. He left the
City and Caro- Bros. were to forward the
goods to him on hearing from him. Mean
time Mrs. Sproles learned that Langtry
had left the City, and she made demand
upon Caro- Bros. for the goods, on the
ground that they had been purchased with
her money. They refused to give her the
goods, not knowing her in the transaction,
and through her attorney she swore out
warrant for their arrest on the charge of
embezzlement.

quences of the crime they had been led to
commit by Walter.
This ended the hearing for the day and
it was continued until next Friday. The
TACT that one witness from each side was
examined and that further investigation
is to be made is believed to augur strongly
that true bills will be found.
During the progress of the hearing
nearly all the witnesses were gathered in
the corridor outside the Grand Jury room.
They were II. S. Mackaye, Wallace E.
Freeman, Warren 2. Freeman, Walter K.
Freeman, Marvin L. Freeman and frankie
Ames. All seemed to fraternize except
Mackaye, Warren P. Freeman and Walter
K. Freeman.
The testimony yet to come promises to
even surpass that already given.
Up to yesterday morning the proceed
ings before Commissioned Heacock in
volving the patent issue were open to all
comers,abut owing to desire to suppress a
fresh sensational bit of testimony given by
Wallace e.. Freeman the doors were or
dered closed except to the parties directly
interested. The testimony given by Wal
lace E. Freeman, and the publication of
which was objected to by ATTORNEY Mack
aye, was as follows:
MY brother, Walter K, in order to get
me into fight told his wife that was cir
culating slanderous reports about her. He
IOIi ueT Sdlu sue was urunKarQ ana q
degraded person. This story, like MANY
others circulated by him, was false, as 1
never slandered his wife. She was friend
of mine and once told me that her hus-
band had stolen two instruments from the
men with whom he was employed.
''My brother" the witness continued,
sis always attempting to cause trouble in
my family affairs. He has told my chill
dren all sorts of base stories, and now
they seem to think me a thief He has
poisoned their minds against me-"
Speaking of this testimony Walter K.
said he was not surprised at any story
Wallace E. might tell. He had heard oil
similar tales told by him previously. He
said he felt only sorry for Wallace; that
he had repeatedly come to his financial
aid; had repeatedly paid his rent when his
family was threatened with being dispos-
sessed of their home, and had provided
coal for the family during the winter time
after time.
II have done everything in my power" J"
he sorrowfully ad eed, ''to make a man of
him, but all my trouble has been for
nothing, and now he has deliberately
turned against me.''

teries.

Another cemetery is being laid out in
San Mateo County, and one feature of it
is that it will be the one, if the purpose of
the projectors can be carried out, in which
there will be plats owned by nearly all the
fraternal organizations. Up to this time
four prominent organizations have Sc
cured sites. These are: The Native Sons
of the Golden West, the knights of
Pythias, the Improved Order of Red Men
and the Ancient Order of Foresters.
The site selected for this new city for the
dead covers 210 acres, situated on the
western slope of the San Bruno Range,
north and east of the Jewish cemeteries
"Hills of Eternity" and "Home of Peace"
which are north of .tHoly Cross" The
site fronts on San Bruno avenue and is
easy of access from the Southern Pacific
and the San Francisco and San Mateo
Electric lines. The cemetery is on what
Tor many years has been known as the
abbey Homestead"
1t Will be known as "Mount Olivet. !"
and will be managed by an association of
which Hiram Il. Graves is the secretary.
1--WE DESIRE" said Mr.. Graves yesterday,
ITO have as many of the fraternal organi-
cations as possible make this the resting
place for their dead. We have made them
d
ternities have the matter under considera-
tlon. The land was procured from the
Abbey Company, and the cemetery will be
managed by an association under the laws
OF the State. We offer plats in the grounds
to fraternal organizations, graded and with
avenues and walks all laid out and finished
before turning such over to the purchasers.
one-half of the purchase money is to be
paid to the Abbey Company for the land
and 10 per cent is to be paid to the ceme-
terry association into a fund to which other
lotholders will contribute so per cent of
the purchase money, for the purpose of
keeping the avenues. grounds and every
thing else in repair and order. The re-
naming 40 per cent is to be retained by
each fraternity for the purpose of beau
tifying its pIats.
"The site chosen rises slightly from the
road to the east, and is said by those who
are competent to Judge to be magnificent
one for the purpose. 1t has been graded
and cleared; 5000 feet of slx-inch pipe has

that Church had atte mpted to bribe them
in the interest of his client. Marvin agreed
to take part in the scheme until it came to
"show down." as he termed it, and then
he drew out.
He then told of numerous threats having
been made, against Alexander by Warren,
the latter declaring that Alexander would
have to testify as Warren directed or he
would put bullet In him.
Warren 2. Freeman, one of the accused,
was next invited before the Grand Jury.
He declared that SO far as his knowledge
went nothing unlawful had been done by
him or Attorney Mackaye, nor had any,
thing been done showing in any way a
criminal conspiracy as charged. All that
he had endeavored to accomplish, he said,
was to get at the truth.
So far as the imaginative rubber COM
pany is concerned he claimed that scheme
had to be resorted to in order to get at the
truth. He claimed that all the brothers
knew the company was take" long be-
fore they signed the affidavit secured from
them modifying their original testimony.
The fake company, he explained, was used
because the brothers, Wallace E., Alexan-
der IL. and Marvin L., would talk in his
presence and admit that their original tes-
timony was false, but would not so admit
to others, and that something had to be
done to get them to tell the truth in the
presence OF an outsider.
He denies that Mackaye had taken any
active part IN this and declared that be did
so in order to extricate his three brothers
from the trouble he charged his other
brother, Walter K, had got them into by
inducing them to periure themselves when
they gave the testimony in his favor. He
disclaimed any ill-feeling toward Walter
x. and regretted he had to act the part he
did, but felt compelled to do so in order to
relieve his three brothers from the conse-

Judge Joachimsen Has Raised the
Limit to SEQ.

Judge Joachimsen Has Raised the
Limit to SEQ.
The case of Peter Cosper, milkman,
charged with selling adulterated milk, was
called in Judge Joachimsen's court yester-
day. Cosper was not present, but was rep
resented by his son-in-law, who said be
was very i'll and had instructed him to
plead guilty.
Inspector Dockery said that Cosper's
case was an aggravated one. His milk
cans had revealed milk-and-water sub
stance unfit for hogs to drink, let alone
human beings. He expressed the hope
that heavier fine than the usual SIC
would be imposed, as Cosper had been
warned not to adulterate his milk.
The Judge said that he had no sym
pathy for the defendant. He had far more
respect for sneakthief than for man
who persisted in a practice that the law
was trying TO stamp out. He therefore
fined the defendant $40, and if another
milkman appeared before him on the
same charge he would be made to suffer.

CITY HALL THIRD STORY
1t Serves for the Usual Exchange of
Personalities at the Meeting of
the Commission.

The City Hall Commission is nothing if
not entertaining. 1t has less to do for its
money than any other adjunct of the big
building, but its semi-monthly meetings
are always fruitful of entertainment. at
least to those who attend. Now that the
angel of the dome has begun to sag little
in public interest the Mayors proposition
to add another story to the City Hall be-
fore putting on the roof takes its place as
topic over which members may quarrel
and go into personalities.
Plans had been prepared by the City
Hall architect, but both Creswell and Brod-
erick declared the scheme impracticable
for one cause or another. Broderick de-
clared that the plans would not give suffi-
cient light and when the architect said
they would Broderick intimated that he
did not know his business.
The estimate for putting on the five feet
of wall required was $40, 600 and the Mayor
said it would be cheap at much more than
that, as each of the other stories had cost
million or a million and a half. The
City would have million population
some day and would need the additional
story to the hall.
Broderick declared that he thought the
Mayor knew too much; he was looking so
far ahead all the time that he was some
times out of sight. When the City had a
million inhabitants it would be divided
up into districts, each having its own po-
lice courts, now central at the City Hall.
The Mayor claimed to know as much
about architecture, finance and city halls
as Mr.. Broderick land, perhaps, little
more" He wanted to know why the CITY
was spending $35OOOO to build new City
Hall on Kearny street.

erty That's the only reason" said Brod-
erick.
And with these pleasant personalities
and much more of the kind, the commits

Court for writ of mandamus to compel

The Police Commissioners refused to pay
the money because, they claimed, the de-
