OPPOSES GRANT
Of A FRANCHISE
Property Owner Pro
tests Against Santa
Fe'S Petition.
Claims Supervisors Have No
Power to Give Away
Privilege.

Elizabeth Christy, owner of 200 feet
frontage on the south side of Mariposa
street. between Pennsylvania avenue and
Mississippi street, filed with the Board of
Supervisors yesterday a protest against
the granting of the petition OF the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Com
pany for a franchise to operate a steam
road along portions of Mariposa, Seventh.
Sixteenth and Hubbell streets. The
grounds of the protest follow:
That the Board of Supervisors is without
power to grant the petition for the reason that
the franchise does not allow the Santa Fe
Company TO enter the city with its road or TO
run its cars to the water front, one OF which
conditions must exist in order to authorize
the board named to grant a franchise to any
railroad company other than a street railroad
company.
That said franchise contemplates steam
railroad entering Mariposa street at Iowa
street at considerable angle and leaving Mari
posa street at a considerable angle at Pennsyl-
vanla avenue; that Mariposa street Is main
artery of traffic between the Mission and Po-
expense and the usefulness of the street as an
avenue of traffic will be seriously impaired.
That the proposed franchise contemplates the
running of a portion of the Santa Fe tracks
on Seventh street, which is already occupied
by the double tracks of the Southern Pacific
Company and the proposed franchise would
completely destroy Seventh street as an artery
of communicat ton.
That the improvements protestant's land
consist entirely of dwelling houses and the
passing of trains would depreciate their value
and lessen their revenues.

STATE REFUSES
To PAY CLAIM
Silvera's Demands Are
Repudiated by Au-
thorities.

When thirteen convicts escaped from
Folsom prison on July q they forcibly
took the team of Joseph F. Silvera and
appropriated it to their own use S1lvera
presented a claim for $500 damages against
the Board of Prison Directors.
The case was submitted to the Attorney
General. who has advised the board that
there is no statute authorizing the pay
ment of such claims in this State and
that the State Board of Prison Directors
has no authority to pay the claim out of
any State funds or appropriations under
their control, nor has the State Board Of
Examiners any authority to audit such
claims.
Now Silvera is wondering where the
money is coming from to reimburse him
for his loss.
Silvera was hauling wood on the
memorable afternoon of July q when the
thirteen convicts suddenly pounced down
on him and made him drive them up the
road to Pilot Hill, where the battle took
place. In the wagon were the thirteen
convicts, the six guards and Silvera, who
drove the team, four horses comprising it.
When the posses, Sheriffs and guards
arrived at Pilot Hill they attempted to
surround the convicts, but the escapes
ordered Silvera to drive them into the
timber adjacent. In order to stop that
move the posses shot the horses, killing
one instantly and wounding two others.
One was afterward killed by the guards
TO put him out of his misery. 1t is for
the loss of these horses that Silvera put
in his claim.

RESIGNS AFTER
YEARS Of WORK
Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills
Decides to Leave
His Pulpit.
Has Number Of New Propo-
sitions Under Con-
sideration.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

LIS Broadway. Sept s.
The Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills has pre-
sented his resignation as minister of the
First Unitarian Church, the resignation
to take effect October Is, the close of the
fourth year Of Mr. Mills service in that
field.
The resignation has been contemplated
for six months and was placed in the
hands of special committee of the
church board of trustees in August
though three months before that the
board was notified of Mr.. Mills intention
to withdraw
The retiring clergyman's letter will be
reao Tomorrow morning after services by
John r Irish. president of the board of
trustees. Under the rules of the church
meeting of the congregation will be
called to act on the letter. Mr. Mills an
nounced to-day that his decision to retire
was final
Four years ago Mr.. Mills came to Oak
land from Boston. Seeking quiet and re-
tirement he took a homo IN the Piedmont
Hills. He was invited to supply for
time the then vacant pulpit at the church
of which he later became minister. Dur
ing his work he raised more than $25, 900
outside of the regular church expenses
and lifted the heavy burden of debt that
was upon the organization.
WI Mills uld not oDllgate hlmSelf TO
fulfill the ordinary routine of pastoral du-
ties, and in March. 1902, feeling that the
church had reached a point where it was
necessary for some one to do that work
presented his resignation. Instead of ac-
cepting 1t the church membership unani-
mously requested Mr.. Mills to remain.
They had an assistant pastor appointed.
but this did not prove advantageous, and
since the assistants departure Mr.. Mills
has had in mind his final retirement. Mr..
Mills has under consideration some pro-
posals, the nature of which he is not
ready to make public.
The relations between the church and
myself are of the most cordial charac-
ter said Mr.. Mills to-day. MY retire
ment has been in mind for months. My
reasons are well known to the trustees,
and they are weighty enough to be suffi-
cient My mind is clear about my field of
work. l feel that the church is strongly
on its feet and that can safely step out
at this time
Colonel Irish. president of the board
of trustees, said: Mr.. Mills decision to
go has been known to the trustees for
several months. His work I'm this church
has been magnificent. BY almost super
human effort he lifted the load of debt
from the church, and that has caused
him to be in great demand elsewhere"
