WILL Be GRANTED TIME.
Supervisors Are Not in Favor
of Hurrying the Hog
RancherS.
The Committee Will Probably Report
in Favor of Six Months
Delay.

Two additional petitions against per-
mitting the hog ranches to remain within
the districts where they are now located
were filed with the Board of Supervisors
yesterday.
One was from the residents of Excelsior
Homestead, where some of the worst nui-
sances OF this character have been re-
ported, and the other from the Spring
Valley Homestead on Islals Creek.
The property-owners in both instances
claim that the stencil from the ranches
renders life almost unbearable to them,
endangers the lives of the members of
their families and depreciates the value of
their property. AT the meeting of the
Health and Police Committee of the
board yesterday the petitions previously
received were placed on file, the matter
being in the hands of special committee
with instructions to report to the board.
This committee, which consists of Super
vlsors Hobbs, Wagner and King, has
visited a number OF the places complained
of in search of information and experience
on which to base report. 1t is probable
that the committee will report in favor of
allowing the ranchers six months in which
TO find new locations and remove their
porcine chattels to them. Supervisors
King and Wagner are known to favor the
ranchers, and Supervisor Hobbs is also
inclined to think that it would work a
hardship on the hog-raisers to force them
to move on short notice.
There is no question about these
ranches being nuisance" said the latter
yesterday. 1.-THE stencil that arises is
simply horrible and, it appears to me,
calculated to breed disease. Still think
that these men should be given time to
find other land on which to raise their
hogs, if we can be assured that they will
leave peaceably when their time is up"

Al Rodgers, the boat-builder, is building
for the Olympics four-oared racing-shell,
which will be the first four-oared racing
shell ever built on this coast.
1t is expected to be completed next

make arrangements for race with the
University and Columbia crews on May

Last Sunday was ladies' day at the Dol
phin Club and a pleasant day was spent in
boat-racing and swimming. Miss Annie

The Ariel Club has divided the oarsmen
into classes, the novices in class A, the
second-class rowers in and the experts
IN class G. Tryout races will be held every
Sunday.
Should the clubs entertainment prove a
success two new outrigger skiffs, which
will be narrower and longer than the
skiffs now in vogue, will be ordered.

Section.

The Heirs of the Hearst Estate Ex-

the South Side.
MAKING SITES FOR HOMES.

The Potrero section is not being neg
lected in so far as the progressive spirit of
Improvement goes. The Potrero Land ana
Water Company is working gang of fifty
men on the Minnesota-street side of Blue
rock Hill In filling up the hollow that lies
west of that street and south of Sierra and
Napa to the northern line of the rope
works.
This property belongs to the estate of
the late Senator Hearst and will when filed
in make desirable building lots. increasing
not only the value of the property thus
improved, btit also the adjacent location.
This prospective view can be seen from
the fact that lot Is by 100 feet adjoining
the Potrero public school on Minnesota
street was sold for $1,000. This same lot a
few years ago and before it was filled in
was worth comparatively speaking moth
ing as residence site.
The principal object of this filling-in pro-
cess is to remove the unsightly biue.rock
knob which faces Napa street. This blue
rock promontory belongs to ex-Supervisor
Christian Refs and his brothers. They
in turn are cooperating with the Hearst
heirs in the work OF improvement. The
one will level what the other needs to fill
in with.
In addition to this work Contractor
Whitley will start gang OF thirty men to
work next week 10 grade and fill in the
declivities on Mission street, between
Solano and Mariposa and between Missis-
sippi street and Pennsylvania avenue. This
undertaking will give employment to quite
a number of men during the spring and
summer months, and will, when finished,
leave desirable lots FOR building purposes
a necessity that has long been felt in'that
portion of the City.
The work Of removing Bluerock Hill to
the adjoining swamp ground is not diff
cult undertaking, as the rock yields easily
to the pick, and its removal is done by a
train of cars run on railway track by an
endless wire cable drawn on drum at the
base of the works. The loaded cars in
descending haul the empty ones up to the
platform, where they in turn are filled and
dispatched.
At the present rate of progress and i'm
provements in the Potrero it will not be
many years until Bluerock Hill will be re-
moved to fill in the adjacent hollows and
elegant residences and business stores will
adorn the crown of Potrero Heights.

SOCIALISTS AND SUFFRAGE.

the American Branch.
Miss Susan B. Anthony addressed the
Society of American Socialists last even
ing and her address was supplemented by
a practical talk by Mrs. A. A. Sargent.
There was large audience, chiefly of the
unbonneted class of listeners.
The well-known suffrage leader gave a
brief history of the development of gov
ernment and said she saw no necessity of
making an argument for equal suffrage to
socialists, for she understood that they
had incorporated such a plank in their
platform.
A black-eyed, black bearded man who
sat in the front row assured her that such
wes not the case. "There are lots of them
in this hall who don't believe in it, whether
they say so or not" he insisted. Then the
lady proceeded with the argument.
A man in the audience asked Miss An
thony what effect suffrage would have on
the industrial question-that is. on the un-
employed. There was derisiye laughter on
the part of the audience. The lady re-
Piled that she did not know how it would
affect the unemployed. but as for the en-
ployed the women were helpless without
the power of the ballot.
Another interested listener wanted to
know whether since women constitute
three-quarters of the church membership,
under a feminine vote the Government
would not become one of ministers. Miss
Anthony thought not. but that women
would vote for the most moral men.

Judgment.

DR.. Robert J. Bowie, the dashing young
surgeon of the Occidental and Oriental liner
Belgic and brother of Allen st. j. Bowie,
president OF the Western Light and Power
Company, will lie asked TO appear before a
Justice of the Peace to-day to divulge the
extent and location OF his worldly possess
sions, if he has any.
Some years ago Bowie boarded with
Mrs. Blanche Wilcox and ran up big bill
for his keep. When she finally importuned
him to settle he gave her promissory note
for $175 in payment.
This was two years ago and though the
note called for a settlement within thirty
days the paper was never taken. up. She
assigned her claim to ]. j. Rauer, who OBJ
tanned judgment by default.
When the collector of bad debts tried to
find something with which to satisfy the
decree of the court he was unsuccessful.

company failed to find that any money
was due him and the medico did not ap.

levied upon.
In order to settle for good the surgeons

examination issued calling upon the doc

and explain matters.
As the Belgic sails to-day at the same
hour on which DR.. Bowie is ordered to ap-

of arrangement will be arrived at in order
that he may be able to sail with the ship.
