Francisco Streets.

George ". Newhall. president Of the
Presidio and Ferries Railroad Company,
has project on hand at the present time
which, if carried through, will add another
to the pleasure grounds of this City.
sThe idea of the company of which 1
am president" said Mr.. Newhall last
evening. sis to lay out a large athletic
park somewhere on the line of the Union
street Railroad. We have secured from
the Fair estate. through a lease, two
blocks bounded by Baker, Broderick,
North Point and Francisco streets. The
two lots are divided by an unused portion
of Bay street, and we have petitioned the
Board of Supervisors to close the street in
order that the plans we have already de-
cided upon for the grounds will not have
to be changed.
"Pissis & Moore, the architects, are at
the present time engaged in drafting plans
for grand stand and other necessary
buildings. We have provided for the erec-
ton of an angle bicycle track, which we
will endeavor to make the finest on the
coast. baseball diamond and football
gridiron will also be laid out, and, taking
il all in all, we feel confident that the
grounds, when completed, Will be center
OF attraction.
An advantage EN- oodled IN the location
of the grounds over those now used by the
Olympic Club Is that they are only twenty
minutes ride from the heart of the City.
They are accessible by three lines of cars.
From the Olympic Club and places in
that vicinity the Hyde-street cars, which
transfer to the Union-street line, may be
used. The Fillmore-street cars, to which
mum Der of the main lines transfer, pass
within few blocks, and the Union-street
cars, which terminate at the ferries, COM
bine to make the location of the grounds
very desirable one.
1--WE will go to work on the grounds i'm
mediately after the Supervisors order Bay
street closed, which they will without
doubt do in the near future, and we can
safely say that the grounds will De ready
for use within very few months"

PATRICK CROWLEY ESQ.

well, We have thought of several men,
but no action has been taken III that direc-
ton, and II is yet early to discuss the stu
alton. When the selection is made, how
ever, the people will feel satisfied that an
honest, capable man has beenc hosen. There
is no more responsible Office in this State
than that Of Chief of Police of this great
City. He has to deal directly with the
vices OF the town, gambling in all its
phases, enforce the law and preserve
order.
"Chief Crowley's retirement" said the
Commissioner, with much feeling, sis a
source of great personal regret to me, as
for eighteen years we came together con-
stantly IN our official relations, and though
he is a stanch Republican ana | Demo-
crat we never crossed swords l entertain
for him only the warmest affection"
Commissioner Alvord also speaks in
praise of Chief Crowley's splendid public
service, and Commissioner Gunst has only
words of commendation for the vetera n
officer.
Among the possibilities as Chief Crow
ley's successor is Captain Lees, the vet
eran Chief of Detectives. He is considered
among the rather limited available tim Der
in the department, and his long and faith
in gaining for him this most responsible
Office, should he consent to assume it,
which is question.
Captain Spillane and Captain Whitman
are also among those prominently men,
toned as the successor OF Chief Crowley.
The statement was made by one of Chief
Crowley's friends last night that he would
soon become director III the Hibernia
Bank at the request of Judge Tobin.
There is now a vacancy on the board and
there IS probability that the Chief may
be elected to fill it on his retirement from

field. The wild oats never die out. The
oats are not indigenous TO that soil. They
were not there till about 1858, during the
Yreka excitement. The teams that went
along with freight carried hay in which
there was some wild oats. 1t sprlnkied
along and the seeds took root. The oats
spread over the country and rooted out
the natural wild grass, which was red-top
and bunehgrass. The wild oat is very
hardy, useful and is there to stay.

prosperous. 1t is getting more so steadily:

terday and Claims to Be
Major General.

.iMaior-General Charles W. Emmell,
February %, 1920" was the inscription on
a card pres ented at the gangplank of the
steamer General Mcdowell yesterday
morning. The transport was about to
start for the army posts and the major
general was on visit of inspection.
1t was his seventy-sixth birthday and
he came specially from Yountville to see
what his comrades in arms were doing.
The old man was born IN leap year, and,
as counting by his birthdays, he is only
19 wears old, he determined to show the
rising generation that there is still life and
energy in the old soldier. He appeared in
full uniform, wearing the sword and all
the insignia of major-gene-al. The only
depar.ure from the regulation outfit was a
soft hat. which. was generally worn by
officers during the Mexican War.
During conversation MA aior-General'
EmmelI said he was 76 years old yesterday
and that he had served bis country
throughout the Civil and Mexican wars.
Whether he is really what he represents
himself to be or not still ell the officers of
the army posts humored him in view of
the fact that he had fought and bled for
his country.
The Mcdowell arrived at Angel Island
lust a few moments before rollcau and
when Colonel Shafter was informed of the
circumstances OF the case he awaited the
arrival of the old man and treated him as
an honored guest. At Alcatraz an attempt
was made to stop his LANDING as he had no
PASS. but the comman andant overruled the
officer of the day and the old soldier spent
nearly two hours in the island fortress as
the guest of the soldiers When the Nc
Doweil returned to the City at Gas P. NJ
he was still as active as ever and told the
men an the steamer that he had throughly
enioyed his birthday and would return to
Yountyille on Monday much the better
for his outing.

WILL OPEN THE SCHOOL.
The Board OF Health Finds That the
LongfelIow Nuisance Has
Been Abated.

After being closed for week the Long
fellow School, over which the boards OF
Health and Education wrangled and nearly
came to legal difficulties, will open to-
morrow and remain in session until the
long summer vacation.
When the two boards met on Wednes-
day last to consider the matter 1t was de-
cided that in case the School Directors
would make temporary repairs that would
place the school IN good sanitary condition
the institution could open.
DR.. Lovelace visited the school yester-
day, and finding that the repairs men
toned had removed the nuisance COM
planned of by the Health Department,
notified the Board OF Education that no
further objection would be made to the
opening OF the school.

THE CHIEFS RECORD.
Som ething About the Head OF the
Department, Who Has Grown
Gray In the Service.

Chief Crowley was born in Albany, n.
Y, on March II, 1881, and two years later
his father removed to New York after his
mothers death. When a boy ne was en-
ployed in printers shop, and at 10 he
came to tnis City on The steamer Carolina.
on May 6, 1850. He went to the mines for
year or two and returned to the City and
engaged in the boating business for a
short time. In 1852 he tried his luck at
mining again, but returned the follow
ing year and again started in the boating
business.
In 1854 he was elected to the office OF
town constable, which he held by election
till 1866, when he was elected Chief of
Police. He was elected to the position till
1873, when le retired and went into the
stock brokerage business. BY an act of
Legislature in 1873 the Board of Police
Commissioners received the power to ap-
point the Chief of Police, and he was re-
Iuctantly prevailed upon to accept the
office. He has held it ever since, being
appointed every two years. mis- last ap-
pointmen being on Decem ber l.
The Chief proved himself on many occa-
tions brave and feareless man, and one
who by his personal magnetism inspired
others 10 deeds of bravery. The first mat
ter of any great Importance that he
handled as Chief was the quelling of the
Potrero riots against the Chinese in 1866.
Then followed the exposure and breaking
up of the powerful whisky ring. In 1870
by his presence OF mind and bravery he
quelled riot and saved Quinn, the muir
derer OF Maggie Ryan, from being lynched.
But the greatest mob that ne ever handled
successfully was the one that attempted to
take Alec GoIdenson. the slayer of Mamie
Kelly, while on his way to the jail on
Broadway.
The Chief has always enjoyed the fullest
confidence and respect of the law-abiding
citizens. They knew hin as an efficient
officer and AN honest and upright man,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 8.-Visitors and
accredited delegates to the Sons of Veterans
encampment have been pouring into the city
today and by tomorrow it is expected that
between 5000 and 10,000 will be present. This
morning the Ladies Aid Society, auxiliary
to the Sons of Veterans, was called to order
and remained in session during the day. A
banquet was given to the Sons of Veterans
by Mrs. Catherine E. Hirst at Music hall

The chief contests to come before the body
will be in the selection of the next place Of
me ting and the eject on of a new commander

cities prominently bidding for the 1897 en-
campment, and the chances are greatly in
favor of Boston. In the fight for commander

The business meeting this afternoon at
Music hall transacted only routine matter.
Commander-in-Chief Russell presided. Or

pointed credentials examined and the meet
ing adjourned until tomorrow afternoon, in
order that ali the delegates may be pres
ent before any business of Importance is
transacted. The ladies' branch of the organ
ization also held short session. Nashville
has entered the competition with Boston and
Denver for the next encampment, but the
fact that Knoxville had 1t last year makes it
unlikely that the Tennesseeans will be sue
cessful.
