GRAND JUROR ARRA|GNEO,
Jabez Swan Charges Leaventritt
With Using His Posi-
ton Improperly.
The Boulevard and Driveway AsSocia.
ton Makes a Plea for Good
Roads.

Jabez Swan, sign-painter, appeared
before the Street Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday with a
complaint against the proposition requir-
ing the removal of street signs and posters,
as recommended by the Grand Jury.
The recommendation was one among a
number presented to the full beard at its
meeting last Monday by a committee of
the jury composed OF Messrs. Leaventritt,
Hammersmith, Wiley, Clinch and Sontag,
of which committee Mr.. Sontag was
spokesman.
Mr.. Swan said the ordinance if passed
would work a great hardship upon very
many business concerns, and denied that
there was any occasion for it whatever
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-11-08

that the signs were all perfectly proper
and nnobjectionable.
The committee told Mr.. Swan If he had
a protest to make on behalf of business
men he should put it in writing and have
it signed. In the meantime they would
defer action on the sign question.
Then Mr.. Swan launched into hot LITTLE
speech, which he had evidently been car
ryng around on his mind and was deter
mined to get rid or

member of a bill-posting company In TINS
City and was actively engaged in putting
up signs and posters of exactly the same
character, if not much worse. than those
now complained Of He got himself 80
thoroughly disliked in that business that
he was compelled to leave it. Now he is
using his position as a member OF the
Grand Jury to work out petty revenge
on the others in the business. he should
not be allowed to do So" -,
The committee said they would noio
the matter over for a week.
A committee OF the Boulevard ana
Driveway Association composed OF John
McCord, r. P. Hammond and Coionel
Little were before the committee to urge
immediate proceedings to lower the
STdue Oh CeNeHlH dheluc 81 Us "
good drive leading into the Park from the
south. Mr.. Hammond said that there was
no objection to lowering the grade
except from the Spring Valley Water
Company. They objected because they
would have to lower one OF their big
water mains. He said the grade should be
lowered at least five feet.
Chairman Spreckels said he would see
the engineers of the water company as to
what arrangements could be made-he
would go over the ground himself.
Mr.. Hammond said that large amount
of capital was invested in horses and vehi-
cles. and that some regard should re paid
to the interests of the people owning them.
He said that it was a fact that except
within the limits of the Park San Fran
cisco practically had no drives-that no
city of it's size was so poorly equipped in
this regard The Seventh avenue i'm
provement would be an excellent first step
in the desired direction, and it should be
followed by improving, macadamlZlng,
the Almshouse road and the Ocean House
road and then by extending good drive
way to the beach.
The committee assured the representa-
tives of the association that they would
take the matter under consideration.
Action on the following recommended
tons of the Street Superintendent was de-
ferred for one week pending examination:
Accepting the paving of Fell street, be-
tween Octavia and Laguna, and Fell
street, between Devisadero and Scott.
The protest of property-owners against
the construction of a sewer in Eanders
street was set for hearing before the board
on November Is.

Mr.. kruttschnitt was asked about the
ability OF the Southern Pacific to handle
the crowds that would come here if the
Republican National Convention is held
in San Francisco next year and replied:
can say without hesitation that we have
the equipment power and track to handle any
crowds that would come over. You see we
have large amount of equipment on our
Eastern roads that we can draw on If 1t should
be necessary. AS to the sleeping-cars we can
draw on Pullman almost without limit. If you
will reflect minute you will see that there
can be no danger on that score We have a
large enough quota of sleepers on our lines for
ordinary and almost any extraordinary travel
that we may have. But whatever the needs
may be Pullman is able, and bound by con-
tract, TO furnish all that may be required AS
to the power, what we have is ample. No,
there Will be no trouble about our handling
the crowds comfortably and well.

PHILADELPHIA, June 13-Cssper Gar
rett, of East GoshOn, Chester county, has
purchased the Sbarpess farm and home
stead in Neither Providence township, Della
ware county. The purchaser is member
of the Sharpless family, and the price paid
for the farm was Sl0,34O.
The farm is famous as the place where
the original John Sharpless, who came over
in the Welcome two or three months before
Penn, settled in 1852, and, later, as the
place where John Sharpless, a great-great-
grandson of the original John ShaTpless,
YVES murdered in his barn ten years ago,
having been enticed there and killed by a
colored man, who formerly worked in the
neighbOrhood, and for which he is now
serving life term in the Eastern Peniten-
tiary.
Since the terrible death of the late John
Sharpless the old mansion has been Occu-
pied by his widow and the farm rented
out. When the original John Sharpless
settled there, in 1852, he built small
house against large rock on the creek,
which rock has for years been known by
his name. Large reunions of the Sharp
less family were held here annually for
several years until the time of the murder.
