where is the new racetrack, which is the
objective point of the line. When the new
racetrack is in operation great numbers OF
people will want to go out there, and that
accounts for the eagerness of the Market
street Railway Company to secure this
franchise and its Willingness to build the
road from Mission street to Ingleside (in-
dicated by the black line) in $50 days.
The dotted lines indicate that part OF the
franchise which the company will not have
to build over within three years. 1t will
be remembered that Supervisor Taylor, at
the time their franchise was up before the
board, moved that the company be re-
CURED to build that portion extending out
Sunnyside avenue within 18G days. The
Solid Eight voted it down. He then moved
that they be required to build it within a
year. The Solid Eight voted it down. He
then named two years. The Solid Eight
voted it down.
When they did that it was so apparent
that the Market-street Company did not
intend to build that part of the road at all
and that the Solid Eight were aiding them
to deceive the public that the people from
Sunnyside who, in their interest in the
matter, crowded the gallery, jeered and
laughed, so transparent had the trick been
made.

FRUIT FOR LONDON.
In the Best Market in the World Cali
fornia Pears Sold for SIS
a Box.


More California fruit is going to London
this season, and the remarkable success of
the recent first shipment of California
green fruit to England this year promises
to establish regular English market for
California green fruits and show how the
business can be best made to succeed.
Fruit men have been greatly interested in
the reports of this shipment, after the
similar experiments of two seasons had
been disastrous.
In the telegraphic reports published the
other day the average price per box was
given in English money, and but few REQ
pie here understood just what these prices
meant. After all the extra expenses of
transportation and sale were paid the
profits were higher, In this instance, than
if the fruit had been sold in Chicago. A.
T. Hatch, who originated the idea of ship
ping green fruit to England, and who failed
in his enterprise three years ago, is much
interested and he talked about it little
yesterday.
''This carload shipment was made" he
said, "by the National Fruit Association,
which is composed of Eastern receivers of
California fruit. This success has been
largely due to the fact that there has been
a short pear crop in England and France,
SO that the circumstances were exceptional
and it is not criterion for other seasons.
The shipment seems to have been we'll
managed, too, while last year it was bad
management and bad luck that caused the
failures with the shipments.

for it. So he moved that the minimum
bid be raised from $500, as provided by the
order itself granting the franchise (which
was drawn up by the Market-street Com
pany), to $4,000. The Solid Eight voted it
down. Then he moved that it be fixed at
$4,000. The Solid Eight voted it down.
His substitute, which provided for mini
mum bid of $1,000, had already been voted
down-and he here gave up the fight, hav-
ing been unable to secure single conces-
sion for the people from these eight. He
had, however, made it perfectly clear who
and what the Solid Eight were-agents of
the Market-street Railway Company.
In standing resolution of the board
$500 is fixed as the minimum bid for an
extension" of manifestations the
law knows no such thing as an extension
to franchise. Just glance again at this
map No. 1. Does it look like an extension?
Rather an extensive extension, isn't it?
Looks a good deal like an able-bodied
railway route of ITSELF doesn'tit? If it were
sold in the open market it ought to be
worth, say, about 100000.
While the Finance Committee is cutting
down the appropriation for schools and
the Board OF School Directors is complain

oner, but no flowers will be allowed in
Durrant's cell other than the few brought
by his mother, whose belief in her sons
innocence cannot be shaken.
Two women said they had travelled 800
miles to get look at him.
The accused maintains good spirits, and
does not permit his personal appearance
to suffer. He is shaved by fellow-pris-
oner frequently and is scrupulously care
full as to bathing, taking dip in the bath
tub every morning. The many stories
circulated as to Durrant's proneness to
allow his mind to dwell upon religious
subjects during his incarceration seem to
be based more upon outside conjecture
than inside facts, for his keepers say that
religion does not give him any extraordi-
nary concern.
To-day the motion for a change of venue
will be replied to by the prosecution in
Judge Murphy's court. If it can be de-
cided before the evening ad iournment, and
Judge Murphy concludes to deny it, the
work of selecting the twelve jurors will
then be commenced. twill probably take
a long time to impanel the jury, as the de-
Tense will in all likelihood exhaust every
challenge.
1t is doubtless well settled by this time
that, no other person having been found
toward whom the circumstances of the
crime point SO directly as to the accused,
the defense will have to be satisfied with
an endeavor to prove an alibi, and with
shaking, ii possible, the testimony pro-
duced by the prosecution. The evidence of
the four Normal School girls may be relied

Arrival In England OF Wheat Car

A letter received yesterday from Hershel
Island by the Pacific Whaling Company
contained the notice of the death of Cap
tain Charles E. Weeks of the whaler
Thresher Weeks was injured by fall
and died March 90 aboard his vessel. Mrs.
Weeks was with him, as she accompanied
her husband on the cruise in the Arctic.
Captain Weeks was one of the best
known whaling-masters on this coast and
to his numerous friends here the report of
his death will be sad news.
The grain-handlers on the seawall struck
yesterday noon owing to a decrease in the
time of labor. They had been getting 80
cents an hour for ten hours work, or so
cents an hour when working for part OF a
day. The day was cut to nine hours,
making difference of 80 cents in a mans
wages.
No men could be found to take their
places yesterday afternoon, and the clerks
and weighers handled the trucks till even
ing. The strikers will organize union
and oppose the reduction.
Piper, Alden, Goodall & Co. state that
they know nothing of the coming of the
steamer Monticello from Seattle to run as
a new opposition boat between this City
and Vallejo. The proposed line is to carry
passengers only, and consequently will not
compete materially with the freightboats
of the old line.
The ship Ardencraig arrived at Queens
town on Monday, 100 days from this port,
with $500 tons of wheat; the Glaucus on
Tuesday, lie days from San Francisco. with
$3.50 tons of wheat, and the William Law at

value, and for which that company would
willingly pay if required to.
Indeed the eight vote against a motion
to make the bid few thousand dollars.
They vote against allowing another COM
pany to build road over another route
which the Market-street company will not
occupy and for which the other company
is willing to pay. This company would
also pay per cent of its earnings after the
road is built, which the Market-street
company does not. This is how the people
are made to suffer by the strange doings of
the Solid Eight. The Solid Eight goes out
of its way and breaks the law in order to
serve the Market-street company with
these fine favors.
Now look at map No. 2. 1t shows the
course of the franchise sold to the Sutro
Railroad Company. For large part of
the way this road runs through sand
dunes where nobody lives and which there
fore is improbable. 1t was franchise
bought in good faith with the purpose
of building substantial road, which will
enable people to ride from the ferries to
the ocean for cents.
1t is to be great benefit to every citizen
of San Francisco. Every citizen feels that
it is a great personal benefit, had long
clamored for it, and rejoices in its con-
summation. And yet Adolph Sutro was
required to pay not less than 5000 for the
privilege of building this road. 1t is not
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-25

San Mateo Railway Company desired to
receive and was willing to pay any reason
able figure for and to obligate itself TO
build at once. Supervisor Taylor moved
that the franchise be divided up so that
the San Mateo road might have chance
at it and the people thereby stand some
show of getting street railway communi-
cation with the City. The Solid Eight
voted it down. This left no doubt that
the Market-street Railway Company was
not only to be granted the franchise which
it really did want-oyer Ocean-house road
to Ingleside-but that it was to be allowed
to hold all the other available routes for
three years, SO that no competitor might
build road during that length of time.
All this eight members of the Board OF
Supervisors did for the exclusive benefit of
the Market-street Railway Company.
Here are the names of these mem Ders:
Joseph King, First Ward;
Peter A. scully, Second Ward;
Charles Il. Benjamin, Third Ward;
AIphonse Hirsch, Fourth Ward;
Edward C. Hughes, Sixth Ward;
Chris Bunker, Seventh Ward;
Alfred w. Morgenstern, Ninth Ward;
Edward L. Wagner, Twelfth Ward.
Now if the lines of street railroads COM
peting with the Market-street Company
were the only sufferers by this legislation
for the monopoly the people at large might
grin and bear it very well. But it is the
people at large who suffer. First, they
suffer heavy financial loss through this
franchise, worth many thousands of dol
lars, being given away for $500. Next, they
suffer through having but one street car
line out through that part of the City where
they might have two. The people along
Sunnyside avenue particularly suffer
through this. 1t is fertile and populous
district that should have street car COM
munication. They are deliberately de-
prived of it through the opposition of the
Solid Eight.
Seeing that the Solid Eight were deter
mined to commit this outrage Supervisor
Taylor thought that perhaps. through very
shame, they could be induced to require
the big monopoly to pay little something
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-25

urged, mind you, that Mr.. Sutro paid too
much for his privilege. He did not,
Now to recapitulate: The Market-street
Railway Company is granted franchise
over seven miles of streets-competitors
willing to pay $4,000 for covering portion
of it are barred out-the Solid Eight of the
Supervisors vote against charging the COM
pany more than $500.
Adolph Sutro, for the privilege of carry
ing the people to the ocean for cents
the Market-street Company had previously
charged 10 cents-is required to pay $780,
Is this not an object lesson?
What are the people going to do about
it? Will they stand 1T?
It looks as if the Market-street Railway
Company and the Solid Eight are masters
OF the situation, and will remain so until
there is change in public sentiment.

MISTAKEN FOR HOODLUMS
Why Daniel Johnson, a
Butcher, Was Shot at
Comerford'S.
The Proprietor and His Bartender,
William Wellman, Placed
Under Arrest.

Daniel Johnson, the butcher who was
shot at John Comerford's saloon on Dun
can and Dolores streets at an early hour
yesterday morning, is in a critical condi-
ton at the Receiving Hospital. The bullet
entered the right side below the ribs,
ranged almost directly across and probably
lodged in the abdominal cavity.
Comerford and his bartender, William
Wellman, were arrested by Policeman
O'Dea and taken to the City Prison, but
have not been charged pending the result
OF Johnson's injuries.
Johnson's statement is that while he was
on his way to his home, 1129 Twenty-sixth
street. he met James McMullen, a carpen-
ter, who was drunk. He was taking Nc
Mullen home, and while passing Conner
ford's saloon McMullen wanted to go in
and have a drink. The place was shut up,
but McMullen began knocking at the door.
The answer was three or four shots fired
through the glass door, one of the bullets
striking Johnson in the right side.
Comerford says that he and his bar
tender closed up the place about half-past
II o'clock. They were in the kitchen when
they heard some one hammering on the
door on Duncan street leading into the
bar and also on the door on Dolores street
leaQlng lHto Inc piIlldru-room. Inc upper
part of both doors is frosted glass.
81 have been constantly annoyed by
hoodlums," continued Comerford, 9'trying
to break into my saloon, and have on
several occasions asked the policeman on
the beat for protection and have also COM
planned at the police station. Thinking l
had received another visit from the hood
lums when | heard the hammerlng on the
doors, l told the bartender to protect the
biIliard-room door and | would station
myself at the barroom door. The noise
continued, and fired shot through the
glass to intimidate them. / had no idea
any one had been wounded till the police
man arrested me.
Wellman, the bartender, corroborated
Comerford's statement He said he fired
three shots through the glass in the door,
but had no intention of injuring anybody.
Wellman was "trusty" IN the City Prison
until about six weeks ago. He served
