MISSION DEFENSE CLUB
The Warm-Belt Residents Want
a Larger Municipal Rep
reSentation.
Daniel Webster Kelly Convinces the
Members That They Have Been
Neglected

The Mission Defense Club, having
quieted the Noe heirs claim to one-half of
its territory, is now laying claim to large
representation OF the warm-b belt citizens
in the municipal Government
At meeting last night John Bolger oc-
cupied the chair, in the absence of the
president. George Welcome kept the rec
ord because Mr.. Van Duzer was else
where.
Daniel Webster Kelly produced chart
of the Mission showing the voting strength
of that section, known on the consolida
tion charter as the Eleventh ward, where
there are 9131 legal voters, and yet these
American citizens are only entitled to
one solitary Supervisor; whereas, Mr..
Kelly claims, they should have six, that
is, in comparison with the mum Der OF
residents in the six first wards of the City.
President Bolger partly satisfied Mr..
Kelly by informing him that when the
new charter is adopted the people in the
sun belt will be amply represented in the
councils OF the Citv's government.
Kelly read from his memorandum book
the following passage:
In 1864 the ends of the City were North
Beach and South Park; the City was built u p
to about Taylor street, and in going to the
Mission, after passing Sixth street. there was
no settlement until Twelfth street was
reached. There were then six boats day tn
Oakland and steem-dummy cars on the Mar
ket-street Railroad to the Willows every half
hour. The Western Addition was wilder
ness, Bush street, the road to Lone Mountain,
being the only thoroughfare
There were three steamers month to New
York, via Panama, and no steam communities
tion with China. Japan, Australia or Honolulu.
The theaters were the Metropolitan and
Maguires, and the gardens were the willows
and Hayes PARK. Woodward's Gardens were
not known in those days, and the Golden Gate
Park did not even exist on paper. The only
railroad out of the City was the San Francisco
and San Jose Railroad, which ran but two pas
senger trains day.
President Bolger and the members of
the Mission Defense Club appear to be fully
satisfied, and all agreed to vote for tie
new charter.

ASSESSOR SIEBE
WINS A VICTORY
Supreme Court Decision
Was Handed Down
Yesterday.
He Was Not Amenable Under
the Penal Laws of
the State.
PEREMPToRY WRIT ISSUED.
Final Phase of Proceedings in the
Market.Street Railway As.
sessment Case.
PEREMPToRY WRIT ISSUED.

The proceedings instituted by Andrew
J. Clunie against Assessor Siebe in con-
nection with the assessment of the Mar
ket-street Railway Company's property
were brought 10 an end yesterday. when
the Supreme Court rendered its decision.
Assessor Siebe appeared in the Superior
Court May IS last and asked the court
through counsel not to hear or act upon
the accusation m ade by Clunie. and also
asked that the case be dismissed. denying
the jurisdiction of the court. The court
denied this and set the matter down for
hearing on the next day, and on May Is
an alternative writ of prohibition was
issued, directing that cause should be
shown why further proceedings upon the
accusation should not be dropped. The
case went up then to the Supreme Court,
which has Just decided that peremptory
writ shall be issued.
The accusation against Assessor Siebe
was that he assessed the property of the
Market-street Railway Company for the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1895, at So, $685..
S66, while it was actually worth, accord
ing to the allegations made, $17, 500. COO
and that Siebe, 'for the purpose and with
the design Of enabling said Market-street
Railway Company to evade taxation for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1895, upon
full cash value of said property. wlllfully
and knowingly failed and neglected to, and
did not, assess the property OF the said
Market-sireet Railway Company, for the
purpose of taxation for said fiscal year, at
the full cash value" ETC." The finding oi
the court is as follows:
Section 772 of the Penal Code authorizes the
Superiour Court to entertain nm accusation
made under oath By g private citizen against
n officer within its Jurisdiction, Charging him
with having collected Illegal fees, or having
duties per tanning TO his office; and, unless the
accusation charges the official with violation
of his official duty in respect to one or other
OF these particulars, the court has 10 jurisdic-
tion in the matter.
In the present case the petitioner was not
accused OF having neglected or refused tC
assess the property of the Market-street Rail
way Company, Tor it is alleged in the accuse
ton that he did assess IL, ana that sucn assess
ment was made ''for the purpose of and with
the design of enabling said NJ Market-street Rail
way Company TO evade taxation for the fiscal
year commencing July l. 1895"
If the assessment was made with such pur
pose 1t was not a refusal or neglect" to per
form his official duties. but "willful and
corrupt misconduct in Office" for which HI
might have been prosecuted by the Grand JURY
Penal Code. If, on the other hand, the assess
ment WAS made without any corrupt or illegal
motive his act was of judicial nature fol
which he is not amenaDle TO the penal laws OF
the State 1t is ordered that a peremptory
writ issue as prayed for.

SACRED HEART BAZAAR,
Pleasant and Lively Scenes in
the Gough-Street Armory
Hall.
Captain Nellie B. Walters Puts Her
Pretty Soldiers Through Fancy
Figures.

The fair for the benefit OF the
Sacred Heart Church, now being
held in the armory on the corner
of Page and Cough streets, loses
none OF it's interesting features as it
draws to a close. 1t was opened on the
1st of OCTOBER and will not end until next
Tuesday night. Father Flood, j. G. Nea-
lon, the manager. and ex-Judge Cooney
have been kept very busy looking after
the details, and they state that from all
appearances the fair will be financial
success.
That it is a social success there is no
question. Any one looking in upon the
merry gathering last evening would at
once have passed an affirmative verdict
pom this point. The large armory hall
as packed to the door with old and
young. 1t was merry scene.
On Tuesday evening all articles upon
which tickets have been issued will be
drawn for, and all left over will be sold on
the spot at auction.
The entertainment last evening was
very interesting, and consisted of vocal
and instrumental selections. A very
pleasing feature was an exhibition drill by
the Young Ladies' Driil Corps, under the
leadership of Captain Nellie B. Walters.
The sixteen young ladies composing the
corps We're put through number of fancy
figures, which did great credit to their
training. Their uniforms were neat and
striking. The costume consisted of a
black skirt, black jacket, yellow waist,
yellow sash and black cap trimmed in
yellow. Each lady was armed with q
small saber.
AS the fair draws to close the saber
contest becomes more interesting. The
same may be said of the contest in which
the most popular young lady will be the
recipient of a beautiful gold watch.
The total vote for the most popular
League of the Gross Cadet captain was
4519, OF which Captain James Mcbride re-
ceiyed 1917 and won the handsome saber.

MUSIC AND MONEY,
Successful Promenade Concert Given at
the Mechanics Pavilion Last
Evening.

Money galore will be poured into the
Golfers of the German Hospltal-the pro-
ceeds of the garden promenade concert
lent societies last evening.
The Mechanics Pavilion was crowded
by the representative Germans OF the City,
who, as is their wont, came out in force to
help along the work of benevolence.
The hall was gay with the German and
American flags, most tastefully inter-
twined with foliage and strung with
lanterns of various colors, and young
serving beer and ices to tie crowds seated
at small tables.
The music was unexceptionable,
Schubert's serenade being most enthu-
siastically received, the throng listening
with that attention and appreciation
peculiar to the music-loving German.
1t is estimated that over 5000 passed
through the doors and in consequence the
treasurer and the busy directors were quite
radiant.
Socially the affair had much the ap-
pearance of reception. Groups OF people
stood chatting about or strolled slowly
along by the tree-lined walls. Many sat
all evening on both sides of the stand,
costly placed behind the Yerdant screens.
James d. Phelan was among the crowd
of promenaders, while other candidates for
office stood around the music-stand to
greet their friends.
This evening a similar concert will be
given and the managers are hoping to re-
peat last nights success nusicaliv. socially
and best OF all, financially. The pro-
gramme will be an entirely new one.

PANIC ON A STRE[TCAR,
Collision on Folsom Street
Causes Considerable
Damage.
Scavenger Wagon and an Electrician
Clash-Many Passengers Badly
Frightened.

An electrician accident, in which sew
eral persons narrowly escaped serious in
jury, and which caused considerable
damage to the car and scayenger wagon,
occurred at the corner of Fourth and Fol-
som streets last evening. Car 552 of the
Ellis-street line, on its way to the Soutn-
ern Pacific railroad depot, Third and
Townsend streets, was running at quite a
rapid rate when the accident occurred.
The car reached Folsom street, and after
slowing up in oroer to prevent collision
with Folsom car, which was pass
ing at the time, started across the street.
Gominico Vinuenza, driving scaven-
ger wagon, thinking that all was clear,
also started across Fourth street. Owing
to the fact that the Folsom-street car
passed in front of car 552 he failed to see
his danger, and the same excuse can be
offered for the motorman of the Ellis
street passenger carrier.
In all events, they started together and
in an instant the crash came. The heavy
wagon, which was struck by the car.
bumped and smashed over the cobbles.
The front of the ear was badly damaged
and the glass in the windows crashed IN
on the passengers. A stampede was the
immediate result and men and women
crowded and iammed each other in their
endeav0rs to escape injury or possibly
death. To add to the excitement the
horses attached to the scavenger wagon
reared and kicked in their fright, but they
were soon quieted.
Finally the tangle was Strengthened out,
the damaged wagon hauled to the side of
the road and the battered car, minus its
passengers, who preferred to walk, pro-
ceeded to its destination.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-18

won the contest, with the score "a to at
the end of the game.
The Berkeley team had been practically
run over and whitewashed by Reliance
just two weeks before the first match
game of the season. Then the Stanford
team had met the Oiympics in match
characterized by remarkably even. steady,
though slow playing, without scoring be-
ing done by either side. Those that had
observed and tried to compare the play OF
the four teams in these first contests con-
sidered Olympic and Reliance pretty well
matched, with Olympic perhaps slight
fayorite.
The relative position of the two college
teams did not seem difficult to determine.
Then the Berkeley team, however, after
only two weeks Of Butterworth's 8 coaching,
appears again and puts up "a snappy,
lively punting game, well calculated to
make amends for what was believed to be
a rush line of generally mediocre material.
1t was the Tapidity with which the
Berkeley men played, aided always by
their captains exceptional ability as
a ground-gainer and punter, that made
them the victors in yesterdays game.
They relied upon their trained quickness
in rushing at an improperly guarded
point or in rounding tackle for an end
run. They made few attempts to assail
the Olympic center men for gain by q
forcible onslaughG.
The Olympics made their game princi-
palIy by bucking the line, which accounts
for their uniformity in distance covered.
On the other hand Berkeley varied the
exhibition occasionally by long runs, some
of which were forced by circumstances,
but in none of which Ransone failed to
take advantage of all that the opportunity
offered. Ransome was the star of the day,
as may be seen by reference TO the dia-
gram of the game, which will show that
he was personally responsible for over
thirty of the Berkeley plays and carried
the ball for total of about It's yards in
gains, not including over a dozen punts,
three touchdowns and four goals to his
credit.
Next to the Berkeley captain was Hall in
proving himself valuable ground gamer.
Sherman, the other Berkeley hall and
ex-captain, though he made q number of
gains and several tackles, was responsible
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-18

for several had FUN bles, which teg ther
with those made by Kennedy, the quarter
back, constituted the only very noticeable
weaknesses in the excellent general play
of the college men. With the exception OF
little Hopper, the crack end, who starred
in the game with Reliance, Berkeley un-
doubtedly exhibited in yesterdays game
the strongest players she has.
Olympic, with nominally the same men
that played even with Stanford on the
Saturday before. was not apparently SO
strong as before. Mccormack, the nav al
officer, was not on at end. Smith, in try
ing to play tackle and give up his regular
position at guard to new man, did not
seem to have gained what he attempted,
while Harrelson and Kington again and
again failed OF smooth connections In pass
ing the ball back.
On the whole it was good exhibition of
football, and there were enough sudden
surprises and radical changes in the posi-
tion of the teams with pect TO goal to
keep the spectators keenly alert.
Just how the ball traversed the field and
by whom 1T was carried may be seen in
the mpanying chart.

HOLD-UP Of h
GROCER PREVENTED
Thrilling Experience Of D.
McGuigan In the
Mission.
A Stranger With a Bulldog
Revolver Enters His
Barroom.
HE CAFES INTO ITS MUZZLE
Two Young Men, Unseen by the Rob.
bor, Make Their Appearance and
He Disappears.
BE CAFES INTO ITS MUZZLE.

z. McGuigan, grocer at Seventeenth
and Sanchez streets, is congratulating
himself upon his escape from " hat he has
every reason to believe was a deliberate
attempt to rob him and perhaps murder
him.
Thursday night between 10 and II
O'Clock McGuigan was standing behind
his bar, in the rear OF the grocery, when a
young man walked through the grocery,
which faces Seventeenth street, and en-
tered the barroom. There was no one in
the grocery, and to the stranger there ap-
peared TO be no one in the barro0m except
McGuigan.
Fortunately for McGuigan two young
men were in the barroom, but they were
hidden from the view of any one standing
in front of the bar by several barrels of
liquor.
The stranger put a 90 cent piece on the
counter and said = to McGuigau, Lets
have drink" He asked for beer and
McGuigan helped himself to whisky.
Just as he reached ont his hand to take
the 50-cent piece the stranger prese nted
revolver of the bulldog pattern at his head
and remarked, Don't You touch that on
your life"
McGuigan quickly drew back his hand
and gaZed with strange interest first a.
the man and then at the revolver in his
hand. The two young men had overheard
the conversation and at this moment
stepped from behind the barrels of liquor.
One walked swiftly to one side OF the
stranger ana the other to his other side.
The stranger did not lose his nerve.
He took in the situation at glance but
did not lower his revolver. McGuigan
by this time had recovered his com posure
and said to the stranger: "You are a
young man and / am sure you wouldn't
lure d defenseiess man. Put down
your revolver and have drink with me-"
The stranger gruff1y declined McGul-
gan's invitation TO have drink, but
lowered his revolver and put it III his
pocket. He picked up the 50-cent piece
and was leaving the store when McGuigan
said: "Say, who are you, anyhow" The
stranger replied, I'm homer" whatever
that means and strode out of the store.
McGuigan is satisfied that the man en-
tered his store for the purpose of robbery,
and if it had not been for the two young
men being opportunely in the barroom he
would have been held up and probably
murdered.
He says the man was a stranger in the
neighborhood. He was beetle browed, tall
and slim, about 81 years of age. or dark
complexion and wore a slight dark
mustache.
McGuigan gave description of he man
to the police at the Seventeenth-street
police station and sharp lookout is being
kept for him.
