RESERVOIR SITE
Supervisors Order COndem-
nation Proceedings for
Large Area ON Twin Peaks
TO OPEN TWO STREETS
Deed Accepted to Property
for Extension of Shrader
and Cole From Parnassus

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
adopted a resolution directing the City
Attorney 10 begin condemnation of
forty-seven acres Of land on Twin
Peaks for a reservoir site for the pro-
posed high pressure water supply sys-
tenn for better fire protection. The res
olution recites that the Golden Gate
Park Land Company has offered TO sell
the site 10 the city for $4,000 an acre,
and it is advisable that judicial deter
mination be had of the value of the
land under the law of eminent domain.
Chief of Police Whitman explained to
the Finance Committee that two bills
for harness had been incurred without
requisition being first filed for the same
previous to the committees order that
acquisitions must be filed before the
purchase of any goods. Whitman agreed
TO comply with the order.
Chief Engineer Sullivan informed the
committee that he had never recon-
mended the erection Of a chemical en-
gine-house on Twentieth street, near
Connecticut. as asserted in a communi-
cation from the Fire Commission. Sui
could protect the territory in the
Potrero as soon as the Santa Fe road S
bridge on Eighteenth street was COM
pleted. This would be in about sixty
days. The committee decided to defer
action until ocular demonstration was
made that the engines were equal to
the task of easily reaching the dis
tricts to be protected.
Action on the bill of A. Carlisle for
S4OO for printing the Guide to Voters
for the Department of Elections was
deferred one week, the Finance Com
mittee expressing the opinion that the
charge is exorbitant and the printing
of the pamphlet was unnecessary.
City Treasurer McDougald filed with
the committee a letter agreeing tc
waive the statute of limitations in The
matter of his claim for $4,000 in fees or
collateral inheritance taxes collected by
him. The Superior Court has decided
against the claim of eX-Treasurel
Brooks for similar fees, and the City
Attorney was requested to ascertain II
Brooks intends to appeal the case. Nc
/ Dougald was asked by the committee
to consult with his attorney as to the
advisability of accepting the Superior
Court decision, especially in view of the
fact that the Supreme Court has de-
cided in the case of a San Diego Treas
l urer that he is not entitled to the fees
The committee postponed action fol
three weeks on the resolution to memo
rialize the Legislature to pass a Law
permitting banks to act as depositorie:
for moneys collected by the city fol-
taxes.
An ordinance was passed TO print ac-
cepting a deed from Emily F. Pope tC
lands for the opening of Shrader anc
/ Cole streets between Parnassus avenue
and Grattan street, and of Grattar
street to Cole street.

POSTOFFICE CLERKS
FORM AN ASSOCIATION
VIII Cooperate With National Asso-
citation and Work for Betterment
of Existing Conditions.

Sunday afternoon representatives.
from the following postoffices met in
San Francisco and formed a State as
sociation of postoffice clerks: San
Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Sac
ramento, Pasadena. Santa Cruz. San
ia Barbara, Berkeley. Stockton, Ba-
kersf1eld and Riverside.
The object OF the association !s to
cooperate with the National Associa-
ton of Postofice Clerks through the
Postmaster General in obtaining need
ed legislation for the betterment OK
the service. The United National As
sCciation of Postoffice Clerks now has
pending before Congress two bills rec
commended favOrably by the Postofiice
Department, namely the classification
bill and the eight-hour bill. AS 1t is
now, the postoffice clerks have TO
work as many hours a day as the
work necessitates, in some offices as
high as twelve and fourteen hours a
day, and their increase in salary is
dependent entirely upon the appropri-
alton made by Congress. The post
office clerks, through the recommen-
dation Of the department. are at
tempting to remedy this by having
classification bill passed. allowing
each clerk an increase Of 500 a year
until he obtains $1,000 a year, and
also to have the department run on an
eight-hour basis.
The meeting was a very successful
one. The executive committee was
empowered to call State convention
at some future date.
The visiting delegates were the
guests of the San Francisco branch at
dinner.
The following officers were elected:
President, James z. Power, San Fran
cisco; first vice president, F. J. Meyer.
Los Angeles; second vice president.
James Longshore Jr., Sacramento:
third vice president. Miss Carrie
Swank, Santa Cruz; secretary, Ralph
J. Faneuf, Oakland; treasurer, d. B.
Dwyer, San Francisco; sergeant at
arms, W. J. Wikon, Berkeley.

CONVICTED OF MURDER
IN THE SECOND DEGREE
Jury at the Second Trial of Harry
Radcliffe Renders Verdict Which
Looks Like COMPROMISE.

The jury in the case of Harry Rad
cliffe, charged with the murder of An
drew Riley, a hod carrier,-at Ninth
and Sheridan streets, on the morning
of June 26, after being out for about
three hours yesterday afternoon
brought in verdict of murder in the
second degree. 1t was reported that
the jury on the first ballot stood ten
for murder in the first degree and two
for acquittal. The verdict was appar-
emily a compromise. At the previous
trial the jury stood nine for acquittal
and three for conviction.
When the case opened yesterday
morning District Attorney Byington
made the closing argument. He de-
livered one of the most powerful and
scathing arraignments against the de-
fendant ever heard in the court He
urged the theory that Radcliffe held
up Riley, intending to rob him, and
during the struggle deliberately shot
Riley. He believed that the story
told by the young wife that Riley
made an insulting proposal to her was
invented for the purpose of shielding
her husband.
There was no scene in court when
the verdict was rendered, although
the defendants wife, mother and some
other women relatives were present
! The defendant will be sentenced on
December 81.

SUPREME COURT WILL
NOT RELEASE LETCHER
States Highest Tribunal Says Prisoner
Has Recourse to Proceedings
Before Federal Judges.

The Supreme Court has refused as
sistance to George E. Letcher of San
Jose, the slot machine man, who is
making a fight against being extra
dited to Ohio, where he is under in
dictment for defrauding insurance
companies. The court, in response to
the prisoners petition for writ of
habeas corpus, says:
Indictment charges a public offerse within
the statute of the State of Ohio. The regulari-
ty Of the proceedings had before the Governor
of the state OF Ohio, eliminating in his requi-
sition for extradition, are rot renewable by
us in this proceeding. Upon the proposition as
to whether or not the petitioner is fugitive
from Justice within the meaning Of the consti-
seems to be absolutely decided against petit
toner's contention by the Supreme Court of the
United States in Roberts vs.. Reilly, 116 U. s.,
so and the decision of that court upon this
constitutional question is absolutely binding
upon this tribunal. Whether or not the facts
in the case Of petitioner are such as to call for
a modification of the views expressed in Rob
erts VS.. Reilly Is question which can only be
decided by the Federal courts, whose writs
and processes open to petitioner.
Superior Judge Cook remanded
Letcher on another writ yesterday. T.
w. G.. Lyons of lib Henry street, a
friend of the prisoners wife, asked for
a warrant yesterday for the arrest of
Garret Fox, an officer from Ohio, who
is here to take Letcher back for trial.
