PooL-sELLING CASES.
The Batch in Judge Conlan's Court
Are Continued Till May 10 to
Be Set.

The cases Of II. /. Jones and others, ar
rested at the racetrack for violating the
new poolselling ordinance, were called in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday to be set
for trial Chief Lees and Captain Witt
man were in court.
Attorney Ach, for the defendants, moved
that the cases be continued for year,
as there would be no more racing at the
Ingleside track, but Prosecuting Attorney
Low retorted that such motion was
ridiculous, and the Judge promptly re-
fused 1t. After argument the Jones case
was continued till May 10 to be set.
The Judge, in speaking of the matter
later, said: "I was willing at the first call
ing Of the cases to try one, but the police
told me that as the arrests were made on
the second day the cases in my court were
not so strong as those in Judge Mogan' s
court, and they wanted mine continued,
which has been done from time to time
To my surprise, the police came into my
court this morning and said they were
ready to proceed and asked that the cases
be set I am going on my annual vaca-
ton at the end of the month and there
fore cannot try the cases, but [ have set
them for May 10 and the police can get an
other Judge to come into my court and
try them. Judge Low had never been con-
suited by an official Of the Police Depart
ment from the first calling Of the cases"

form a little city into a great garden
This money will be paid TO the very
men for whose benefit the new park is
to be created and the coin will be paid
very largely by the men who drive now
in their splendid teams to Golden Gate
Park
In order that the character of the
change to be made by the proposed ex-
tension of the panhandle may be
thoroughly understood a map of the
projected improvement is published
this morning. The present panhandle
begins at Stanyan street and ends at
Baker street. The extension from that
point to Van Ness avenue between
Oak and Fell streets is natural and in
a straight line. Long before the city
was what it is now such an extension
was planned and advocated. When the
site Of the City Hall was a cemetery
the creators of Golden Gate Park, with
almost prophetic vision, saw that some
day Golden Gate Park must start in
the very heart of the city and then take
it's direct course to the ocean beach.
But these men had to fight stubborn
ly for years to get Golden Gate Park,
and at last they were forced to give
way and sacrifice the splendid park
that would have begun at Stanyan
street and ended at the City Hall. Only
the strip from Stanyan to Baker was
saved and it remains to-day to show
what the people Of the city ought to do.
Under the proposed plan of extension
the new panhandle will be in every
sense a great and beautiful park. 1t
will be ample to provide occupation for
the thousands that now seek Golden
Gate Park. 1t will be adorned with
statuary, fountains, arbors and floral
wealth which has made Golden Gate
Park one of the great garden spots of
the world. In every sense it will be a
park stretching block after block
toward the west until it broadens out
into the splendid domain of the park
proper.
1t is this prospect which has caught
and will hold popular enthusiasm until
the day when with ballots the voters
of the city decide to make the prospect
a reality and to acquire a new recrea-
ton ground which will be without
parallel among the cities Of America
and perhaps of the world.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-04-26

TT ROM present indications 1t will
be impossible to hold a special
bond election before next De-
Il cember to determine whether or
not the people Of the city wish
an elaborate municipal system Of sew
ers, adequate public buildings, hos
pitfalls and the extension Of the pan
handle Of Golden Gate Park to Van
Ness avenue. The preliminary work Of
preparation for such an election is in
tricate and cannot be fastened, al
though the local authorities are work
ing as rapidly as possible. Plans, spec1-
fications, estimates and rough ap
praisements must be made before the
election can, under the law, be held.
Public sentiment is rapidly crystalliz-
ing into an eager advocacy Of the pro-
posed improvements, particularly that
of the extension Of the panhandle.
This support is being given more es-
peciaIly by the generality of the people,
nv men and women of the middle
classes, by those in moderate circum-
stances and the poor. To these classes,
who constitute the great bulk OF the
nopuIation Of San Francisco, the ex-
tension Of the panhandle means an
inestimable benefit as yet but poorly
understood even by those who value it
most.
The tremendous undertaking which
the Mayor and the Board of Supervis-
ors are projecting is meeting also with
the favor of the residents of the out
side districts, who will be benefited by
the accession of new sewers, hospitals
and other incidental improvements.
The extension of the panhandle appeals
particularly to the people In the inside
districts Those living south or Market
street, down town as well as In the
Mission, will be benefited quite as much
as those residing north OF Market
street.
For people in every part Of the city

Henna

Look Poy, better known as Jim Poy,
q Chinese dentist, desires to become an
American citizen If the law will allow
him to do so. and in order to carry out
his purpose he employed Attorneys D. T.
Sullivan and George O'Byrne to assist
him In fling his declaration of intention.
Poy has resided in San Francisco for
dresses in the American fashion, wears
his hair short and conforms to the US
ages Of civilized Caucasian nations. He
took the necessary oath yesterday before
United States District Court Clerk
Morse, which included a declaration of
intention to forswear his allegiance to
KWong Sui, Emperor of China and to be-
come a citizen OF the United States of
America Two years hence he will apply
TO the court for citizenship, and the ques-
ton as to whether a native Of China of
Chinese blood can be admitted to citi-
zenship will be put in issue.

a new park. domain will be created for
recreation, enjoyment, fresh air and
health. An erroneous opinion seems to
have gained some currency that the
extension of the panhandle will mean
simply that those who can afford to
drive to Golden Gate Park will have a
longer drive and that people who need
park will be neglected. This Is alto
gether an error. Whatever objection
has been made to the extension of the
panhandle has come from wealthy men
who balk at a public improvement
when that improvement touches their
pockets. These men look upon the pan
handle as it exists now from Stanyan

street to Baker street as a necessary
evil. Most of them do not utilize it on
their way to the park, but drive out
Fell street
They are not concerned, therefore, in
having the panhandle extended and
they have not been slow to utter
protest because the proposed extension
will cost them considerable sum Of
money. They are not concerned in the
fact that the tremendous undertaking
of extending the panhandle will give
thousands Of workmen, laborers, arti-
sans and mechanics employment for
years It will take time and money to
effect the great change and to trans
