proper thing. That is not the fran
chise that was originally called the
'corkscrew,' and l don't see why we
should stick that in there. 1 am op-
posed TO it for the present. If the
charter is going into effect let the city
get the benefit of these franchises
This settles the matter definitely.
The gigantic steal has been prevented
and the city will retain the valuable
privileges of its streets for legitimate
competition. 1t is fortunate that to-
day is the last day upon which the
great theft might have been accom-
plfshed. The time limit has been
reached. The business men and prop
erty owners of the northern and south
ern parts of the town will. receive the
road for which they have persistently
agitated and the raid Of the monopoly
has been rendered fruitless.
Supervisor Heyer has come to the
conclusion that he has had time enough
in which to investigate thoroughly the
whole franchise problem. He does not
want to learn anything more about the
affair. as he is now convinced that the
franchises should not be granted. Ac-

UNITED ACTION AGAINST IT
FATHER CARAHER SPEAKS FOR
HIS PARISH.
All Religions and Creeds Will Come
Together to Put an End to
the Open Illicit
Traffic.

Despite the protests of justly ihdig
nant and wrathful public, the Nymphia,
a lodgment for degraded women, is an
esta ablished fact. All efforts to re-
move these outcasts from the thickly
populated portion of the town have so far
been complete failure as the present
traffic proves But the inhabitants of the
north end of the town will soon act and
employ every legal measure to remove
this new blot upon their section of the
city The feeling of opposition to this
ground-foor hotel on Pacific and Stock
ton streets is augmenting hour by hour
1t will not be long before some drastic
measures are adopted to put an end to
the institution, and the people are now
waiting for the call to bring them to-
gether in general mass meeting.
During the construction of the build
ing Father Caraher of St. Francis Parish
fought the builders and owners at every
move He was partially successful in his
endeavors to prevent the incursion of
these femmes du pave into his district.
On Saturday night last the alley was
opened to visitors and remains at the
present time.
There has been a general disposition
among the clergy of every denomination
the matter to a conclusion In this connec-
ton Father Caraher said last night:
1 did not know that this place was
opened; as / nave oeen very 6usiIy en-
is the signal for a systematic and gen
erai opposition to its continuance. We viii
meet in a general assembly in the YER
near future - representatives of all
churches and creeds. This thing must not
be endured and the people of this district
will not suffer it,
OF course there people who
favor it. but they not the morally GOOD
people. The great majority will fight it
bitterly. The fact that this so-called
Nymphia is now in nightly operation forces
us to do all in our power to remedy the
evil. which can only be done by compel
ing the denizens to remove from their
houses of shame and pollution In this
l voice the spirit of the people living
within the bounds of my parish. 1t may
take a few days before we collect our
forces but when do there will be a
concert of action. This so-called Nymphia
breeds degradation, vice, sin and the rot
ting of the soul.

members Of the Street Committee claim
that they do not know whether or not
they have recommended the obnoxious
franchises for adoption. 1t is not by
any means certainty therefore, that
the Street Committee will urge the
franchises to-day for adoption.
As matter of fact the members of
the Street Committee did not vote in
.dividually on Thursday to recommend
the four franchises for adoption. After
the several advocates OF the measures
had finished talking the chairman Of
the committee declared that he pre-
sumed there was no objection to the
franchises that We're asked for by the
railroad company. No member of the
committee made an objection and the
clerk arrived at a perfectly Iegiti-
mate conclusion that the committee
favored the franchises.
Supervisor Collins, who is a mem
Der of the Street Committee, says that
he was absent from the room at this
critical moment and when he returned
he was informed that nothing of i'm
portance had been done. This asser-
tion of Collins, coupled with his antag-
very different light upon the matter.
Supervisor Kalben, who is also a mem
ber of the Street Committee and was
absent at the meeting on Thursday, is
likewise opposed to the franchise steal.
Supervisor Attridge, another member
Of the Street Committee, will not say
that he is in favor Of the theft
Under these circumstances it is very
unlikely that the committee VIII report
its conclusions which We're 50 strangely
adopted. If a recommendatio1 is mace
it will, as already indicated, be defeat
ed, as Supervisors Perrault Lackmanr,
Byfngton, Deasy, Kalben and Collins
EilI cast their votes against it.
In speaking about the matter yester-
day Supervisor Collins was emphatic in
his opposition to the proposed fran
chises. IF the people want the fran
chise they can wait he believes, until
the operation of the new charter. Su-
pervisor Collins was seen at Mil Val
ley and spoke as follows:
Last Thursday, when the matter of
franchises came up before the board,

turn to the board room they told me

DR. THoRNE's ACCIDENT.
Nearly Loses Leg as Result of
Jumping On Car.

For the fact that, in time, he will be
able to walk around again on two good
sound legs, young Dr. Walter Thorne
must give thanks to good blood, a sound
constitution and the skillful ministrations
of his brother physician, DR.. Frank
Thompson. Luck had nothing to do with
1t.
DIR. Thorne's sorry plight is due to the
fact that on the Sd of last month he tried
to board a Jones street car while it was in
