A statement was made accompany

sinking spell, the Senator had been
conscious, but he made no attempt to
speak during the entire time.

Supervisors Pass an 0rdi-
nance Designating Points
Where PeddlerS May Sell
AGAINST WATER OFFER
City Engineers Report on
Bay Cities Company's Pro-
ject Is Filed With Board

The Board Of Supervisors yesterday
passed to print the ordinance sub
mitted by the Merchants Association,
designating certain locations on pub
lie sidewalks to be used as free public
flower markets, where street peddlers
may pursue their trade.
The bill was passed by a vote Of
seventeen for to one against. Rea. being
the only one to vote against it. Lun-
stedt tried to have the section desig-
mating the sidewalks Of Market. Powell
and Eddy streets as free markets ex-
cluded from the privileges. but only
six votes were recorded in the af-
firmative.
The attorney for the Retail Flower
Dealers Association held that the or
dinance Is in plain violation of the
State constitution, the city charter and
of the boards ordinance, No. 1890,
making it unlawful to peddle goods on
the public streets without a license.
The Retailers Federation of Cali
fornia, comprising the various retail
organizations of the State, filed a pro-
test against the passage Of the ordi-
nance. The protest refers to the recent
clearing of bootblack and peddler
stands from the public streets, and says
that the ordinance proposes to effect
the legal sanction Of an aggravation of
the evil on the busiest thoroughfares Of
the city. The protest is signed by Will
lam Lenhoff. president of the Retail
Grocers' Association, and H. c. Fla
geolett, past president of the Butchers
Protective Association.

quoted from Judge Murasky's decision,

peddlers occupying the streets and
sidewalks.
The petition of the Fruit Peddlers'
Association that the same privilege
accorded the flower venders be ex-
tended to the fruit peddlers was re-
ferred to the Street Committee.
The report of City Engineer Grunsky
relative to the offer of the Bay Cities
Water Company to furnish this city
supply of water from Coyote Creek
was filed with the board As already
published in The Call, the City En-
gineer recommends against the accept

the supply is not reliable. Grunsky de-

the Central Theater last night. From
the diminutive urchins that occupied
the last row in the gallery to the
smooth-pated gentlemen that elbowed
the musicians, every one in the audi

The fun was fast and furious all the
way. Occasionally there was a bit of
pathos. but the house construed it as
something humorous any way.

Why not make the whole thing at

One wonders, cast differently and
with its authors left alone in their
glory, just how The Silver Slipper
would hit one. "Florodora," whose
sextet is flagrantly imported in it's
successor, should also be forgotten.
The comedy depends now upon a de-
ightful whipper-snapper of a come
dian, Sam Collins by name; a mo-
ment of eyeful girl and the famous

by six English dancing girls and as
many neat males, is a supple and

EScher's

Ihere was no "eXplanationing" on
t1scher's stage last night. For the first
time in two years or more Kolb and
Dill were absent, and the leading mas
culine comedy was about equally di-
vided between Richard F. Carroll and
John p. Kennedy, newcomers. The
medium of their introduction to San
FRANCISCO was a three-act affair en-
titled The Rounders,'' with lyrics by
Harry B. Smith and. music by Ludwig
Englander The piece is Of French ex-
traction, and naturally more risoue
than any of its American-born prede-
cessors at Fishers. The theme is mar
ital disloyalty. of course and is ade-
quately carried out in situations and
dialogue.
Mr.. Carroll, as a much-exaggerate
Irishman, sang. danced and acted with
earnestness. and had no reason to com
plain of his reception and subsequent
treatment by the audience. Mr.. Ken
nedy invested the character of a cvn-
ical roue with appropriate gentility. and
won a favoritfsm that promises to en-
dure. Ben T. Dillon again proved pos
session of rare versatility by making a
German band leader a very funny
character. Nellie Lynch also scored
well as a deceived Quakeress wife. and
Helen Russell appeared in black tights
as a premiere dansuese, but consider
ately abstained from dancing. She sang
'Mignon" Dolonaise with great charm,
however, and for encores won thun-
derous applause by singing THE Last
Rose of Summer" and Home, Sweet
Home" Mr.. Peachey displayed surpris-
ing cash as the Lotharian husband of
the Quakeress.
