nothing in favor of Reliance when the
ten-minute intermission was taken be-
tween the halves.
The second half was less spirited, and
toward the end it was evident that the
Reliance team was not exerting itself to
prevent the Olympics from avoiding a
whitewash. But the San Franciscans did
not score.
Wyckoffs kickoff sent the ball far down
toward the Olympic goal at the opening of
the second half.
Little Nahl recovered nearly fifteen
yards before he was downed, but the
Olymp pics soon lost the ball on a tumble.
After several efforts near the Olympic
90 yard line Reliance punted.
The Olympic man that caught the ball
was downed near his own 10-yard line, and
an attempted kick blocked, Hawkins be-
ing tackled two yards from the Olympic
goal. According to the rules, the ball
was carried out to the i0-yard line to give
Olympics chance, and punt sent it well
ont to the dangerous territory.
Reliance punted back On first down, and
Hawkins caught the ball on the 15-yard
line, ran it back ten yards, punted ten
yards, recovered the ball on a Reliance
muff and in a few downs reached the 80
yard line, where punt had to be resorted

will remain in the ground and preserve their
value longer than after they are placed on the
market tables. If neither unripe nor over
ripe fruits are to be offered, then the orchard
ist should be apprised when the market is
overstocked. At the very best a surplus will
be accumulated, and this surplus should be
carefully handled in furnishing perfectly
healthy vegetables and fruits to the class who
are so poor that they cannot afford to pay for
them. OF course this should be done very ju-
diciously.
The features of the market which seem to be
necessary here may be summarized in this
way:
First-There is no place in San Francisco
where the man who produces dairy, garden or
orchard products can offer them for sale him.
SELF There should, therefore, be made an op-
portunity for the purchasers OF products to
buy at first hands. Merchandising performs
the valuable Office of distribution; but where
distribution can take place without the inter-
ventlon of the merchant, the middle man be-
comes an incubus upon production and q
costly luxury TO the consumer.
Second-The markets need public inspection
with reference to the healthfulness of the fruit
they offer for sale.
Third-The producers need to be informed in
some authentic and official way when the
market is already stocked with certain kinds
or products, and that whatever comes into
market must either perish or take on q very

and the Olympic line came through on the
| fullback, causing loss OF nearly fifteen
| yards. A punt sent the ball almost back
to the center of the field.
Nahl made one good gain, but twice the
Olympics were tackled or forced back OF
the line and had to kick.
The ball changed hands several times in
the neigh borhood of the Reliance 25-yard
line. Then the Reliance men appeared to
play horse with the game and few un-
successful kicks brought the ball to their
own fve-yard line, where Wyckoff punted
it out of danger.
The Olympics returned with a punt
over the goal-line, causing a touchback
and allowing the Reliance men to bring
the ball out to the 20-yard line, from which
it was Immediately punted by Wyckoff to
the Olympic 40-yard line, distance of
fifty yards.
Hawkins ran the ball back five yards
and was downed as the half ended.
The team work of the Reliance men and
their ability to gain ground insured them
the game after the first few exhibitions of
their strength.

Taylor, the ball was carried to touch
down just seven minutes from the begin
ming OF the game.
Bert Oliver missed an easy goal. and the
score stood to in favor of Reliance.
Porter again punted off into Reliance
territory from the center field, and with a
little more success.
FELTON, Taylor ran the catch in nearly
ten yards before he was tackled. After
another advance of ten yards in
several plays in which Langdon and Frick
figured prominently with the pigskin,
Reliance had to kick from the 35-yard line
on third down.
Potter caught the punt on Olympic's
40-yard line and brought the ball back
just into Reliance territory. But after five
attempts, having gained less than ten
yards, kicking was resorted to. A miser-
able little punt did not reach the place
where the ball was snapped back, and
Reliance got it near the 50-yard line.
Again Reliance gained ground. In two
plays the Oaklanders had reached the
center OF the field and in eleven more they
had crossed the intervening fiftv-ive yards
to the Olympic goal for their second
touchdown, thirteen minutes from the
second Kickoff and just as time was up
for the first half. 1t was Hanlon, Nc

Verdict of Censure at the Mrs.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN GUARDED
The Owners of a Building Censured
for Having an Elevator
Unprotected.

A verdict censuring the Market-stree
Railway Company was returned by the
Coroner's jury yesterday at the inquest
held by Coroner Hawkins to investigate
the circumstances of Mrs. Annie Meal
listers death.
Mrs. McAllister lived at 20O4 Taylor
street. On the 7th inst. she died from in.
juries received on the Sd inst. in an acci.
dent at jackson and Mason streets. She
was Knocked down by Powell-street cable
car, and besides suffering internally one
of her limbs was fractured and she was
very badly bruised.
The evidence of the witnesses was all
against the street railway company, though
the gripman and car conductor were prac-
tically exonerated from blame. 1t was
shown that the bell OF the ear had been
sounded. but the trouble was that the grip
man, owing to the curve there-the car
was going toward North Beach-dld not
see the lady in time to stop the car.
In the opinion of the jury the company
had not taken proper precautions at this
particular curve for the prevention OF
When Mrs. McAllster was first seen she
was hardly two feet from the car and was
walking across the tracks. Mrs. Franks
OF 113L Francisco street was an eye-wit-
ness. She said that Mrs. McAllister was
crossing Jackson street and was in the
middle of the track when the car rounded
the curve at it's usual high rate of speed
and struck the deceased, knocking her
down. 1t was one of the side steps of the
car which caught her, and the injured
limb was drawn under it and crushed.
Witness was sitting on the outside of the
car at the time.
John Jenkins, the gripman, said he had
been gripman on the Powell-street system
for seven years, and that this was his first
accident. When he first saw the lady the
car was close up to her. He said he was
sounding the bells, as is the custom when
going around the curve, and that he
shouted and put on the brakes, stopping
the car as quickly as possible. Conductor
G. Hillman corroborated his testimony.
An expressman, w. e. Davis, also saw
the accident. His statement was that the
lady was walking across the track and
that the car was running at high rate OF
speed.
From the evidence of all the other wit
nesses, it appeared that no one had been
stationed by the company at the curve to
keep people out of the way and thus avoid
casualties. Attorney ]. E. Richards was
present IN the interest of the deceased.
The verdict of the jury was:
That the deceased, Mrs. Annie McAllister
came to her death by being struck by a cable
car at the corner OF Mason and Jackson streets
And we further find that the street railway
company is to be blamed for not taking proper
precautions at this particular curve.
Another verdict of censure was returned
but in this particular case the parties
blamed were the owners of the Donahue
estate building at Mission and First
streets.
1t was the result of the inquest held on
Sterling Ironsides, the young racing pro-
gramme seller who was injured in the

AdoIphe RothschiId,s Fads.

Almost every leading male member of
the Roths schild family is the possesser of
fine collection of works of art picked up
with more or less discrimination and taste; !;
but the collection of Adolphe de Roths-
child differs in one respect from the col
lections of other members of his family.
1t is notorious fact which most of them
very candidly confess, that the Rothschilds
only collect articles of real value in them
selves-that is articles which could very
easily be turned back into cash at
q moments notice. Now with Baron
Adolphe this is not the case, for while he,
of course, possesses an immense quantity
of works of art of greet value, and which
could easily be converted into cash, he
also has collected a lot of things which it
would indeed be difficult for him to con-
vert into current coin. Baron Adolphe is
one of those expensive and extravagant
people known as faddists; and he is almost
the only one of the Rothschild family who
has allowed himself to be affected by this
malady.

It seems that besides there being no
cage on the elevator, the only guard on
each floor consists OF single bar, which
NAV be up or left down, according to the
carefulness or otherwise OF parties using
it. and that a boy was employed to run the
elevator until P. NJ, but no one after that
hour. In the evenings it has been the Gus
tom for anybody to use the elevator at
pleasure.
Young Ironsides stepped off the floor
and felt down the shaft about an hour
after the elevator boy had quit for the day,
and while he was lying at the potion OF
the shaft the elevator went up ana came
down on him once or twice. The lury's
verdict was:
That his death was purely accidental, ou
from the testimony we ce insure the owners for
not having the elevator from which he met his
death properly protected.
Damage suits may arise out OF the Nc
Allister and Ironsides cases.
In the case of Matthies Lindberg, who
cut his throat on the 5th inst, at 400
Drumm street. the verdict was suicide.
The old veteran, Pedro Gotta, a music
teacher, was found to have been accident
ally asphyxiated at 907 Filbert street, ON

The jury was unable to say whether the
fate of the unknown man found drowned

TAX PAYMENTS.
Result of Collector Blocks Work on
the First Installment.

Tax Collector Block figured up his total
collections on the first installment for the
current year yesterday. He found that
the total amount taken in by his office
amounted to 81, 23S, ,519 SO, which with the
s4OO, 900 collected by the Assessor. makes a
total of 81, ,519 SO. AS the total assess
ment of the City amounts to $1,000, 900,
2k per cent on 1920, 600 900, there is still
$2,561, ,4SO OF to be collected on the second
installment.
As the penalty on delinquent real estate
has been reduced from so to 10 per cent, it
is expected that the delinquent list will be
larger than usual this year
