Another dead sure sign of vul- garian is manifest when a person picks up a sealed letter addressed to another and turns 1t over and over, peeking cu- riously at the writing and the post mark, trying to find out whom 1t is from and what is in It.

YOUNG CROOKS
UNDER ARREST
Charge of Robbery and Also
One of Burglary Are Booked
Against George Batteate


-Four youthful criminals. have been
arrested within the last few days by
Detectives Freel and Bunner and yes
terday they were booked at the City
Prison. Their ages are from II to 19
years. George Batteate was charged
with robbery and burglary; Albert De-
martini and Henry Comes with bur
glary and Joseph sKloess with grand
larceny.
Batteate is occused of having held
up and robbed Louis Langalli, 444
Union place, at Green and Dupont
streets on the night Of November %.
Langalli is an accordion player in a
dance hall and his accordion and 81,
his nights wages. were taken from
him. He was so badly beaten up in
his struggle with the footpad that he
was confined to bed for two days The
accordion was recovered by the officers.

into-a candy store at Fi1bert and Pow
ell streets a few nights later and steal
ing money from a till, quantity of
candy and a suit Of clothes, which, 1t
is alleged, he was wearing when ar

The San Francisco call., 1903-12-13

Club J. r. LawIess, general manager of
the San Francisco Gas & Electric Com
pany, has agreed TO install twenty
lights in Oceanside. The water COM
pany has pipes laid to H street and
Forty-seventh avenue and is ready to
proceed farther as soon as the grading
of Sol Getz & Sons blocks and streets
adjoining are completed. At their
meeting last Friday night the mem
bers of the club pledged themselves to
do their utmost the coming season to
secure from the city the necessary apy
preparation to grade, II street to the
ocean. 1t was reported to the club that
the Park Commissioners had set aside
$4,000 to be expended for the improve
ment of the Ocean boulevard. A COM
mittee of fifteen members of the club
was appointed to wait on Mayor
Schmitz to ask his aid and co-opera-
tion in the work for the interest of
the Oceanside district.
Mayor Schmitz gave a hearing yes
terday to a committee appointed by the
Oceanside Improvement Club. The
opening of H street was the subject
of this interview. 1t was explained that
without a graded street leading direct
from the city the residents of the
Oceanside district were deprived CT the
most important privilege of getting liv-
ing supplies or material for improve
ments as cheaply as residents of other
city districts. The Mayor was appealed
to urge upon the Park Commission
ers the necessity of widening the Ocean
boulevard and placing electric arc
lights thereon, as such improvements
would be appreciated by the general
public as avertinG the colliding CT We
hicles. The necessity for an engine
house with fire apparatus was dwelt
upon, the committee stating that even
chemical engine for the present need
would be acceptable. The establish
ment of new grades was also thorough
ly discussed. A mounted police patrol
being very much needed, the Mayor
was asked to use his good Offices to
obtain the same for the district. The
Mayor by his expressions showed that
he was in accord with the statements
Of the Improvement Clubs committee
and assured them that he would give
his hearty support in securing all nec-
essary privileges for. their district.
Mrs. James de la Montanya will erect
four flats. at a cost Of $4,000, on the
northwest corner Of Sacramento and
Spruce streets.
T. Shields will build flats on the east
line Of Devisadero street, east of Ellis,

j. b. Mahony will erect flats costing
$4,000 on the northwest corner of Castro
