Harry Barnhvrt, will appear, as- sisted by the Philharmonic orchestra, under the direction of Herr Arnold Krauss, the sole parts of the ora torios being taken by the leading so- lOists on the Pacific coast.

The Supervisors Fire Committee

an ordinance prohibiting any person
from standing in the aisles or passage

tion known as the foyer. The exception

the Fire Department gave it as his
opinion that no person should be al
lowed to stand in any theater. He said

and see that no one stands during a

The committee also reported in favor
of the amended ordinance providing
that all frame buildings shall have

CARNETT MAKES
SUDDEN CHANGE
Witbdraws Motion for the Ap-
pOintment of Commission to
Take Deposition of Mrs. Colt

The numerous attempts made by At
torney w D. Grady to delay the trial
of Alexander B. Garnett, charged with
the murder OF Major ]. w. McClung,
came to a sudden termination yester-
day afternoon in Judge LawlOr's court
Two motions were on for argument
one to set aside the information on the
ground of errors in the transcript of
the testimony taken at the preliminary
examination before Police Judge Fritz,
the other to appoint a commission to
take the deposition of Mrs. Elizabeth
Colt in New York.
Judge Fritz and StenOgrapher Blum
of his court had been notified to give
their testimony on the motion to set
aside the information. but they failed
to attend. When the Judge ascertained
that they had not been regularly sub
penaed he was angry. He said that
the Assistant District Attorneys ac-
tion in not conforming TO the regular
process of the court was censurable.
Assistant District Attorney Ferral in
reply contended that the defense had
not made a proper showing. and he
was satisfied to submit the matter with
out any testimony.
Attorney Grady said he would also
submit the case, but asked for sixty
days postponement to give him an op-
portunity TO produce Mrs. Colt in court
or have her evidence taken by depO-
sition.
Grady finally withdrew his motion for
a commission to take the deposition.
After some parleying ii was decided TO
argue the points at issue on next We'd
nesday afternoon.

PER NIT MUST
Be OBTAINED
Street Committee Recommends
Ordinance Specifying Safe
guards Around Rock Crushing
BOND SHALL BE FILED
Applicant Is Required to Pay
All Claims for Damages Re-
sulting From the Operations

The Supervisors Street Committee
yesterday recommended for passage a
proposed ordinance introduced by Su
pervisor Connor making it unlawful
for any person, firm or corporation to
carry on the business of rock crushing
without first obtaining from the Board
of Supervisors a permit for the same.
Action was taken as the result of the
boards investigation into the rock
crushing operations of Gray Brothers
atThirtieth and Castro streets, when 1T
was ascertained that there was no law
to compel the securing of a permit for
the maintenance of a rock crusher.
The ordinance as recommended by
the Street Committee provides that the
permit must specify the location Of the
proposed rock crusher and the manner
in which the business is to be conduct
ed. No permit will be granted, how
ever, unless the applicant therefor
shall file bond in the sum of not less
than $2500. nor more than $4,000, to be
fixed by the Board of Public Works in
accordance with the estimated value of
the property in the vicinity of the rock
crusher. The bond shall be conditioned
so that the person receiving the permit
and his sureties shall without delay
adjust and pay any and all damages
WHICH III the Judgment Ol lHS DOdIu Oh
Public Works result from the operation
of such rock crusher.
Nothing in the ordinance shall be so
construed as to repeal, amend or in any
sense alter or affect the provisions of
the ordinances specifying the limits
within which rock crushers are pro-
hibited.
The committee reported in favor of
granting the Moody Estate Company a
to yfr-rT..

The committee recommended certain
street work in various parts of the
city deemed expedient by the Board of
Works.
