eighths of the people present were women,
and they seemed to be disappointed be-
cause no women appeared on tie stage
and because the oppressiveness of the
evening was not relieved by refreshing airs
or the soul-stirring accents of dramatic
defamation.
Shortly after s o'clock DR.. J. Z. Scott
and John NJ. Reynolds appeared upon the
platform. The doctor, very red in the
face and mopping his brow with a damp
handkerchief, remarked, facetiously, that
it was warm. This happy effort having
been rewarded with general smile, the
doctor, with another dab at his forehead
remarked that it was "warmer and warm
est" which caused two or three women In
the front row to litter. Then the doctor,
between wipes, explained that the meet
ing had been called for the purpose of
showing that the proposed charter should
not be adopted.
John NJ. Reynolds, a widely known
writer on politico-economicaI subjects,
was introduced, and read well-digested
and thoughtful essay on the charter. He
declared that the 100 reasons advanced by
Secretary Freud of the Meschants' Asso-
citation why the proposed charter should
become the law of this municipality were
Just 100 insults directed at the intelligence
of the people.
The charter, he declared, had been
framed in the interest of the monopolies
and the corporations, and it placed serious
STUN bling blocks in the way of the mu-
nicipal ownership of the water supply,
lights and so forth. II placed no safe
guards around the municipality that did
not already exist in the constitution and
the laws of the State, and it was sham
and fraud.
AT the close of the lecture DR.. Scott an
nounced that a young woman who had
been waiting in one of the back rooms for
the summons to appear upon the stage
and sing the "Star-spangled Banner" had
melted away, and that gentleman who
was to have made speech on the charter
had melted into thin air also.
Then the audience got up and melted
out of the doors.

THEY ARE SATISFIED.
The Newsboys Care Little Whether
Or Not the Check System
Is Stopped.

Little Eddie Greaney, the newsboy,
more Familiarity known as "Brick," has
very set ideas regarding the streetcar
check and transfer system,
He has devoted much time to thinking
about it = in fact his fellow-newseys
around Powell and Market streets ascribe
the solar hue of his locks TO the great
amount of thought he has given in the
premises.

against Skuse and bested him in clever
and neat bout,
The first event was the preliminary
bout in the lightweight class. The con-
testants were Tye of the Acme, 134 pounds,
and Kirshner of the Manhattan, 1876
pounds. Tye had the best of the match
from the start and played with Kirshner
all through. In the third round the Acme
boy fioored his opponent four or five times
and won the fight by clean knockout.
The third bout was holly contested.
The Manhattans entered Muller at 135
pounds, and Slamberg entered from the
Acme at 134 pounds. Honors were even
at the end of the third round. and in the
fourth Muller fouled Slamberg several
times. The referee awarded the fight to
Slamberg. Muller's temper got the best
of him and he wanted to punch Slamberg
again, but the seconds interfered. Slam

Some Modification of the
Old Transfer System
Probable.
NOVEL TRANSFER CARD.
1t Is One of the Numerous Sug-
geStions Offered to the
Company.
PASSENGERS TO BE IDENTIFIED
Not in Favor With the Railway
Management Owing to the
Punching Necessary.

General Manager Vining of the Market
street Railway Company declares that as
soon as the order relating to transfers is
finally passed by the Supervisors the COM
pany stands ready to obey it. He added
that some modification of the old system
would probably be adopted, but just what
he was not prepared to say.
Ever since the transfer com plications
have attracted public attention Mr.. Vining
has been in receipt of suggestions from
people not only in this City but from those
in the larger cities of the country in refer
ence to solving the problem of preventing
the traffic in transfers.
Among these is a clever adaptation of a
patented device used by the Rochester
Railway Company of Rochester, NJ Y.
This, in addition to having the time and
line transferred to punched into it, has a
group of seven miniature faces printed on
it, five of men and two of women, one OF
which is punched to identity the passen-
ger. The portraits of the men show a
clean-shaved face, one with mustache
another with side whiskers, one with chin
beard and one with full beard. The por
traits of the women are supposed to rep.
resent one a blonde and the other bru
nette.
Underneath these faces appear the fig
ures 40" flanked with a sign of addition
on each side.
The idea is to punch the face nearest
like the'passenger to whom the transfer
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-05-27

is issued and to record his approximate
age by punching to the left if he appears
under 40 years of age and to the right if
over that age.
submitted is fifteen minutes, but this can
be increased or reduced at the option of
the issuing company.
By this method it is claimed that the
traffic in transfers will be made virtually
impossible, as it is not likely that within
the time limit set a man resembling the
one to whom the transfer is issued will
turn up as a purchaser of a newspaper
with transfer premium.
Mr.. Vining, speaking of the numerous
suggestions made to him, said that not
one of them was available under the cir
cumstances that existed at Powell and
Market. He explained that every second
OF the conductors time was fully occu-
pied from the moment his car stopped at
that point until it again started. The
conductor had to punch his cheeks and
pass them around to the passengers, then
he had to assist in working the turntable
and to collect the fares before the car
started, and all this, he added, had to be
done often within a minute and half.
He explained further that under the
check-transfer system a whole bunch of
checks could be punched at one time by
the conductor, while if the Identification
transfer were used the conductor would
have to make four separate punches for
each passenger, which would require more
time than he ever had, and would be a
physical impossibility, when, as was often
the case, the car contained between sixty
and seventy passengers.
''Why could not these transfers be given
to each passenger as he paid his fare?"
was asked.
WELL" replied Mr.. Vining, 1--WE do that
on some of our cars and it has caused
complaint"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-05-27

metly Vinin' only was titled to one.
see %
The sentiments of the little man were
heartily Endorsed by the Arabs about him.
1t was the consensus OF opinion that If
every passenger, who, through mistake or
otherwise, held check instead OF a trans
fer, fought for his rights and battled to
remain on the car without submitting to
second payment of fare, Manager Winnings
receipts would not be SIS greater than they
used to be.
But following up his original line of
thought Brick summarized the situation
In his own terse way:
"Vinin' wasn't a fightin' US, he knows
better dan dat. We're too powerful an he
amt in our class. We did i'm before an
we did him after der check system an
We'll do i'm again. Der is one ting we re
'frald of, an OATS he might quit der trans
fer business and trow der public and de
kids down at der same time.
''Im no lawyer an l don't know If he
kin do dat 'gitimetly; but if he does we'll
skate around an sell papers Just like we
use ter do an guess we'll be able to eat
breakfast as often as he does an enjoy it
just as WELL"
The youngsters were quite put out that
there were no riots on the street. Crowds
scufhing, cheering and hooting had be-
come daily and nightly picnics for them.
The weather was so warm yesterday that
people were too enervated to battle for
their rights and they suffered imposition
when a second fare was demanded rather
than resist expulsion from the cars.
The Dimond ordinance, which does
away with the check agents and virtually
restores the transfer system TO its old
standing, will come up for final passage
before she Supervisors next Monday, and
then must be signed by the Mayor. AS
acting Mayor Taylor has already voted in
favor of the ordinance it is quite likely he
viii sign the ordinance as soon as passed,
and Third, Powell and Tenth streets, ON
Tuesday next, will be unadorned by the
uniformed watchdogs of Manager Vining.

cars or elsewhere, nor 20 eject passengers nor
to aid in ejecting passengers from the cars of
the railroad company for npn-payment OF fare.
1t is the duty of the officers at all times to pre-
serve the public peace and see that no injury
is done to persons or property in their pres
ence.
In case the cars are blockaded or the free
passage of the street or sidewalk shall be OBJ
structed by crowd except on the occasion of
a public meeting) the officers shall disperse or
keep them moving. See subdivision 8, section
&C. order 1887. II. s. HEALY, Clerk.
Similar notifications were sent to the
captains of the other divisions.
1t is not unlikely that the aggressive
conduct of Policeman O'Day in forcibly
throwing passengers off the rear platform
of the Castro-street car will form matter
for investigation by the Board of Police
Commissioners.

Ten Persons Found Dead by suffOcatiOn
After Fire.
NEW YORK, April 2.-ren persons per-
ished by suffocation in a Brooklyn tene-
ment house early yesterday. The names of
the victims are as follows: August Buno;
Mrs. August Buno. his wife; Sally Buno,
8 years old; Johanna Buno, Is months
old; Lena Calabia, IL years old; Nicolo
Tralia, 50 years old; Lena Tralia, his
daughter, "a years old; Dominick Tralia.
his son, "a years old; baby, IL days old;
Cornelia Marretti, 20 years old. The fire
started in the lower hallway of the build
ing. which is four-story tenement in
Union street, and before the sleeping ten
ants could be warned of their danger all
escape was cut off. The fines swept up
the stairways and the halls and rooms
were quickly filled with smoke Ten of
the tenants were suffocated in their beds.
There were many exciting incidents
connected with the fire. An Italian. whose
name is unknown jumped from IA window
in the third story and escaped with only
a few burns and bruises An iron ladder
at the rear of the house ran from roof to
ground so that 1t could easily be- reached
from the windows. 1t had been rendered
so hot by the flames however, that the
inmates of the house dared not use it. Elk
cept the fire escapes the only outlet from
the crowded rooms on the upper floors
was the narrow wooden stairway, escape
by which was cut off soon after the fire
started
