MARKET STREET COBBLES
The Cycling Clubs Vigorously
Advocate a Change to
Bitumen.
The Moral and Political Influence Of
$4,000 Voters to Assist in
the Project.

II any influence, moral or political, can
accomplish the paving of Market street
rom Valencia to the ferry landing with
some other material than the present
rough and unsightly cobblest ones, it will
be done If the cycling clubs of San Fran
cisco can work the change.
To accomplish this desirable end, T. II.
b. Varney OF the cycle brotherhood will
do all that in his power lies to induce the
Supervisors. property-owners and all
others interested in the welfare OF the
City to have the principal business street
OF the City look decent and modern. To
do this, the ancient cobblestones must be
taken up and durable, noiseless, smooth
surface pavement put down.
"We will urge this question late and
early until we accomplish our object"
said Mr.. Varnev. eve have as starter
$1,000 voters belonging to the various cy,
cling clubs in this City. l mean by this
business men who ride the bicycle from
their homes to their business places.
These will assist the organized clubs in
this movement.
"Then, stablemen and owners of teams
devoted to carriage-driving will also assist,
and / am sure the storekeepers will most
heartily cooperate with US.
How much more pleasant 1t will be to
have noiseless pavement in front of their
stores than the tumultuous racket now
made by wagons rolling over the rough
cobbles, deafening everybody within
block of the street.
1--WE will urge it In circulars, we will
urge 1t in dodgers, we will urge it in every
conceivable but respectable manner until
we accomplish it. And when il is done
the people Will wonder why 1t had not
been done years ago.
cit is said that the teamsters, for some
unexplained reasons, are not in favor of
the present bituminous pavement, but
would gladly hail smooth, durable road
pavedss streets"

WOULD NOT ANSWER.
James A. Gibson Will Invoke the Aid
of the Federal Constitu-
ton.

James A. Gibson has been committed to
jail for contempt of court, but he has
brought his case before the Federal courts,
so the order committing him was merely a
formal proceeding.
Gibson was asked Wednesday to tell
what he knew of the sudden disappear
ance of $22, 900 from his brothers room just
before that brother died. ]. A. Gibson and
his mother, Mrs. Emma Yorke, left sud-
denly for Denver. Gibson was stopped at
Sacramento and charged with grand lar
ceny, and his mother was ordered brought
back from Denver on similar charge.
Mrs. Yorke has been released, however, by
the Federal courts.
When asked what he knew of the disap-
pearance of the money Gibson refused to
answer, on the ground that his testimony
might lay him open to a conviction for
felony. He was given until yesterday to
fortify his position by authorities, but the
cases he cited did not satisfy Judge Coffey,
and he was ordered to answer. He again
refused and the order mmitting him for
contempt was made. He will invoke the
aid of the constitution Of the United States
to release him.
There is a family dispute in regard to
the money. Mrs. Yorke says the money
was given to her by her dying son. The
dead mans widow dissepts, and naturally
desires to secure part OF the estate.

WAN rs TO BURN GARBAGE
L. '. Merle Applies for a Writ
Of Mandate Against the
Supervisors.
He Is Trying to Force His Bid of
$500 and No Percentage to an
Acceptance. q

L. Y. Merle has applied to the Superior
Court for writ of mandate compelling
the Board of Supervisors to award him the
contract for burning the garbage of the
City for the next fifty years.
Merle claims he was the highest cash
bidder for the franchise. and he demanded
the privilege on that ground. Merle's bid
was $500 with no percentage. f. S.
Sharon's bid was $3.50 and graduated
percentage of the gross receipts and A. NJ.
Sheily's bid was $l150 and a graduated
percentage, but not so large a one as
Sharon's. The Merle bid was recon-
mended by the committee in charge. but
the board awarded the contract to Sharon.
Sharon's bid, 1t was figured, would before
the franchise ran out be worth over
100000. while Merles bid amounted to
no more than $500 in any event
Merle evidently relies on a recent deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in which it was
announced that percentage of receipts
was rendered in fight over a street rail-
road franchise in Alameda. The court
said that road might be established for
the purpose of stopping competition, and
under those circumstances a verv large
percentage of the receipts could easily be
offered, thereby insuring the possession OF
the franchise for an offer which would
eventually prove very small. The court
ruled the bid out because it was uncer-
tain.
1t is claimed, however, that this case is
no parallel to the garbage franchise.
There Is no uncertainty in the prospect OF
percentage OF the receipts of the garbage
crematory, for the franchise allows the
owner to charge 25 cents load for burnjn Q
garbage, and the ordinance requires that
all the garbage in the City be taken to the
crematory for burning. As the percentage
is of the gross receipts, the franchise itself
provides for an income, which cannot but
be good one.

was laid over for week.

Devisadero-Street Line Will be
Abandoned on the First

T WAS NOT PROFITABLE.
Part of a Western Addition Service
That Has Been in Operation for
About Two Months.

On and after May 1, the people living in
the immediate vicinity of Devisadero and
Jackson streets who desire to reach the
southern part of the Western Addition. or
the western portion OF the Hayes VALLEY
district, will either have to do considerable
walking or resort to carriage and bicycle.
On the date mentioned, it is the inten-
ton of the Market. street Railway Com.
panv to discontinue the service on Devisa.
dero street, from Jackson to Oak.
This extension, with the rectangular
loop, bounded by Devisadero, Oak, Fill
more and Page streets, was put into opera
tion about two months ago, in the expecta-
tion that there would be sufficient through
traffic to and from the Jackson street ter.
minus to make it a paying proposition.
Experience, however, General Manager
Vining said yesterday, demonstrated that
there was not sufficient demand for this
accommodation to warrant the company
in continuing the service-that is, the road
along Devisadero, from Oak to Jackson.
AS now operated the cars run from Jack
son street along Devisadero to Page, east
on Page for four blocks to Fillmore, rorth
on Film ore for one block to Oak, along
the latter westward to Devisadero and
back to the point of starting.
When the service on the long Devisa-
dero-street arm is taken off the loon
bounded by Page. Fillmore, Oak and De-
visadero will be kept IN operation by run
ming one car around its ten blocks, which
service will continue to form the connect
ing link between the Page-street line to the
park and the Fillmore street line to the
northern and southern sections of the
City. In fact, no change will be made in
the transfer situation at the points where
this loop connects with other lines of the
Market-street Railway Company.
