MAY PERMIT UNION SQUARE
PARK TO BE ILLUMINATED
City Attorney Long Says Commission
ers Have Power to Grant Priyi-
Ieoe During COnclaye.

City Attorney Long advised the
Mayor yesterday that the Park Com
missioners have power under the
charter to grant the use of Union
Square Park for the purpose of a pub
lie illumination during the Knights
Templar Conclave. The plans and the
general scheme of illumination are to
be approved and Installed under the
supervision and to the entire satis-
faction of the Park Commissioners.
The opinion continues:
I find nothing in the charter which would
prevent the Board of Park Commissioners
from granting the request, but, on the con-
trary find that under section of sarticle
IA Of the charter 1t has the power to permit
the use OF portions of parks or squares for
the purpose OF conducting fairs or expositions
when the same would not interfere with the
use by the public; such permission being grant
ed such fairs expostions must be of ma
tional State or municipal Importance. take
IL that the coming conclave of the knights
Templar is of. municipal" IL not OF
national Importance.
1t appearing that the illuminations Of Union
Square would not interfere with its enjoy
ment by the public, but, the contrary
would heighten such enjoyment. and 1t also
appearing that the Board of Park Commits
sioners would have the absolute supervision
and control of such power and illumination
/ am satisfied that it would be permissible tc
grant the use of Union Square Park for the
purpose suggested.

CLAIM THEY
WE'RE BADLY TREATED
Bring Suit Against the Owners of the
Steamship Valencia for Alleged
Breach of Contract.

Complaints were filed yesterday by
William Arnick, James D. Roe. w. H.
Hays, d. f. Mcdaniel, Charles A.
Didie, ]. H Henderson and ]. Peters
against the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company for total damages of $2032.
The plaintiffs claim that on May 26,
1900, they bought second-class trans
portation from this city to Nome,
Alaska, and that they were told by the
company that they would be given the
same food as the first-class passengers
and allowed comfortable berths. For
these accommodations they paid $75
each.
They now claim that as soon as the
steamship Valencia, upon which they
took passage, put to sea they were
placed in steerage quarters and given
food of the vilest quality and very diff
ferent from that served the other pas
sengers Furthermore, they say that
before they left this city they bought
many provisions for their sustenance
when they arrived in the frozen coun-
try, but that on the vessels arrival
there they were not given their prop
erty The belongings detained included
tents and as there were no available
quarters the plaintiffs were obliged to
sleep out of doors and some of them
incurred severe illness.

DENIES PETITION OF
NEW MESSENGER SERVICE
Supervisors Street Committee Rules
That Application for Franchise
Must Be Made

The Supervisors Street Committee
yesterday denied the application of the
Independent Messenger Service for
permission to lay underground wires
in several districts. Supervisors
O'Connor and Braunhart voted in ia
vor of the denial and Rock voted
against it. The California Messenger
Service opposed the granting of the
permit on the ground that a rival
company would injure its business.
The committee took the view that ap-
plication should be made for a fran
chise so that the award may be made
to the highest bidder. Several other
applications for similar permits have
been previously denied.
The petition of the Outdoor Art
League that the San Francisco Gas
Company be compelled to remove un-
slightly and unused poles was filed, the
Department of Electricity having re-
ported that the company had agreed
to remove the poles.
The committee granted permit to
the relief board, Foresters of Amer
lea, to conduct street fair on
Eleventh street, near Market from
June 4 to June II and to illuminate
Market street, from Sixth to Twelfth,
with electric lights.
The committee recommended that
Lynch street be expunged from the
official map; that street work be done
on Central avenue, between Haight
and Page streets; on Haight street,
between Central and Masonic avenues;
on Duboce avenue, between Market
and Webster streets; Duboce avenue,
between Market and Church streets
Bryant street, between Nineteenth
and Twentieth; De Haro street be-
tween Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth: Frederick street, between Ma
sonic and De Long avenues; Forty
ninth avenue, between 1 and streets.
The committee also recommended
that Dupont street, from Montgomery
avenue to Vallejo street, be paved
with bitumen at a cost of $10,475.
The recommendation of the Board
Of Works that the petition of the
Santa Fe Railroad for a franchise on
Sixteenth street be not granted until
that street is widened was deferred

MAYOR WILL AGAIN VETO
ROCK CRUSHING BILLS
Sees No Reason to Recede From His
Former DisaDprOval of Ordinances
Extending PrOhibitOry Limits.

Mayor Schmitz will to-day again
send messages to the Board of Super
visors vetoing the two ordinances ex-
tending the limits within which it is
prohibited to crush or quarry rock. The
Mayor stated yesterday that he saw
no reason to change his former opinion
that the ordinances were intended to
harass and perSecute Gray Brothers,
who had established a quarry on Thir-
tieth street, near Castro.
The Mayor believes that his vetoes
will be sustained by the votes of the
five Supervisors who stood by him in
the former vetoes- As it requires four
teen votes to override the Mayors veto
there will be but thirteen Supervisors
to vote that the ordinances become
laws Notwithstanding the vetoes.
