DISPUTE over A GRADE.
Seventh Avenue, in the Sunset
District, Leads to Con-
tentiOns.
Property Owners at Outs Over a
Proposed New Road
way,

Seventh avenue in the Sunset district,
which will. when finished. become a part
Of Balboa boulevard, is at the present time
the cause of contention among the
property-owners along that thoroug hfare.
The avenue, which leads from Golden
Gate Park southwark, and will eventually
tecome the popular driveway from the
park out to Ingieside and the southern
country, has been recently graded from
its commencement at the park to NJ
street at the expense of the property
owners. At the time the contract was
let 10 the graders, about year ago, the
grade was officially fixed at its present
level
At that time Thomas U. Sweeny, the
phIanthTopisL who erected Sweeuy's OBJ
servaiory In e Golden Gate Park, strenu u
ous!y fought 10 have the grade on this
avenue raj ed ten .eet above its present
estab ished level between l. and NJ streets.
In this he was outdone byAdolph Sutro and
the Spring Valley Water Company. who
combined against nim and lnSislei on the
present grade.
The expense to Sweeny in being forced
to accept the grade was about $1400, with
$1,000 added t. level his lots 10 conform to
tue avenue grade.
Now that this boulevard is about to be
graded from II street 10 the Almshouse
tract the Spring Valley Water Company
and Adolph Sutro have petltioned the
Supervisors TO raise the grade between l.
and N streets ten feet over The identical
port ons which they insisted on having
cut down one year ago.
To this Sweeny and a man named Con-
molly, who owns property on the west
line of the street, object The former mas
200 feet and the lalter . feet, while the
Spring Valley owns 975 and Sutro go feet
on the line OF the proposed grade.
Al The time of the original grade there
was cut OF thirty-tiye feet to De made
through a sand bank. This having been
accom- mplished the avenue received first
class coating of macadam four inches in
depth, and besides, sidewalks, cutters and
curbing was put down, making the avenue
one of the best constructed roadways
south of the park.
The Street Committee of the Supervisors
Will hear both sides in the controversy

VICIOUS ACT
OF A ROBBER
Frank Mahan Claims He
Was Held Up and Shot
by a Footpad.
Criminal Took Umbrage at Back
Talk and Painfully Wounded
His Victim.
Police Who Are Now Investigating
Give but Little Credence to
the Story.

Frank Mahan. a machinist, who re-
sides at 357H Clementlna street, was
treated at the Receiving Hospital last
evening for painful gunshot wound in
the feshy part of the left leg which he
says was inflicted by a weapon in the
hands of murderous robber. AS soon as
The wound had been dressed by Drs.
Tormey and O'Brien the patient became
communicative and told story which. il
true, teens with tragic interest.
Late yesterday afternoon paid visit
to the Superintendent of the Union Iron
Works, where 1 was formerly employei,"
he said. II converse for quite length
of time with him, as | wished 10 again
obtain employment ana the theme inter-
ested me. At the con clusion of our con-
versation [ started for my home on loot.
1t became quite dark before l had pro-
gressed far on my journey. but as my
mind was far from footpads or criminals of
any kind l did not mind. | turned down
Hooper street and was unmolested until l
reached Sixth street.
Il had reached the end of the Sixth
street bridge when l was startled by
man who sprang from the shelter OF the
bridge, where he had been hiding, and
covered me with q revolver I've got
you at last; throw up ycur hands, and be
quick about it., he exclaimed. | obeyed
instr uctions, and the robber went through
my pockets ana extracted purse con-
tai ming $13. Being out of employment,
the act of taking my little money
from me turned my fright TO an
ger, and | exclaimed. "Pn make
you sorry for this. This was an
unfortunate move on my part as my lips
were no sooner closed than he lowered his
weapon and sent bullet through my leg.
The wound did not disable me and l fed.
The robber sent another bullet after me

heard it whistle past my head. | kept on
running and when sure that l was out of
range stopped and blew police whistle.
An officer soon responded to my call and
| was conveyed to the Receiving Hos
pital."
Although Mahan's story has a ring of
plausibility about II, the police give it
but little credence. Nevertheless, 10
make sure of the facts Of the case. De.
tectives Ryan and ODea were detailed to
investigate. They secured the district
near where the alleged hold-up is said to
have taken place. and, although they have
located several people who heard the
whistle, none recollect hearing two shots
a short time before. Mahan describes his
assailant as a short, dark man whose fea-
lures were hidden behind a luxurious
growth of jet black whiskers. Owing to
the darkness he was unable TO ascertain
the cut or color OF the apparel in which
the man who, after robbng him tried to
take his l.fe was clothed.

BASS FOR HILO.

California Fish Now Sport. in Ha-

One of e longest shipments of fresh
water fish ever made was recently accom-
pIished between this port and Hilo, Sand

Wise, an attorney OF that island city, sent
10 the California Fish Commission for a
lot of the small mouth black bass which
have been so successfully INTRODUCED 10
these Western waters from the East.
Chief De putty Babcook made some in
q1iry and found that the temperature OF
the waters in the Hiloan mountain streams
varies but a few degrees from that OF the
streams of California.
He procured about 100 "yearlings" from
a reservoir near San Diego and sent them
TO Mr.. Wise by steamer. A few DAYS ago
Mr.. Babcock received letter from that
gentleman, stating that seventy OF the
bass had arrived in excellent condition.
They were turned into the streams and a

CIRCUMSPECT.
Statement Concerning the Life-Saving
Station at Point Arena NIilder
Than Imagined.

1t sometimes occurs that the headlines
of story are unintentionally written
stronger than the article beneath war
rants. That was the case in an article
published in THE CALL October 26 concern
ing the statement of Major Blakeney re-
gardlng the Life-saving Station at Point
Arena. In the headlines he was reported
to have said that the coast representatives.
were TO blame in the delay of properly
equipping and establishing station at
that point.
1t may be correctly said that Major
Blakeney's s statement was rather milder
aud less devoid of fault finding than msy
have been imagined from reading the in
PRODUCTION of the story mentioned. TIE
glst OF the statement is: The Pacihc
Coast is long distance from the seat OF
the Government and it sometimes appears
to US that the department is slow In act
ing in matters of this kind where our in
terests are concerned, but we should bear
In mind that the stormy coasts OF the
country, including those of jhe great
lakes. require looking after as we'll as our
own.
The article in question led TO letter
from 5. l. Kim tall. 1t follows:
have seen a reputed interview. published
In the san Francisco CALL OF October 70,
with the superintendent OF the Twelfth Lie
saving District (Pacific COAST. in which he is
made to reflect upon the Pacific Coast delega-
ton in Congress as being less energetic ana
persistent in its efforts 10 secure legislation
and executive action from the Government IN
behalf OF their constituency than are those
from other parts of the Union. II is ticut
TO believe hat Ma jor Biakeney made the OBJ

did he very wide of the mark, for l know
OF no men in Congress who are more dlligent
and D parsisIent and ciear-headed in behalf OF
their State and constituents than those rom

proved equipments at the earliest day pracu-
