for Permanent Residence.
According to Secretary Edward
Ewald of the Sunset District Improve
ment Club, as shown by his report,
just compiled, the valley that a few
years ago was covered with sand is
now an ideal place for homes. Streets
and avenues have been opened all the
way from First avenue on the east to
Nineteenth avenue on the west and
from H street on the north to M street
OH the south. Thousands of tons of
sand have been carted off this space and
streets and avenues laid out, paved
and severed. ready for building.
1t is the intention of the residents
of this district to have Nineteenth ave-
nue. graded and paved from H street
to its junction with Dewey boulevard.
The connection with Ocean avenue and
Ingleside roadway will make pic
turesque driveway from the Presidio,
leading through Golden Gate Park out
and into SanDMateo County.
BY the cooperation of the City Sur
veyor and at the expense of the prop
erty-owners a system of sewerage has
been established, which drains the en-
tire section into one mammoth sewer at
Fifteenth avenue. This runs through
Golden Gate Park. connecting with the
big sewer at D and Fulton streets, on
the north of the park. where 1t is car
RED into the bay on the north side
of Richmond.
Other less offensive refuse is car
ried into septic tank within Golden
Gate Park where it is used as fer
tilizer for portions of the grounds yet
needing soil.

TRIAL OF CHARLES WYMAN
MAKES LITTLE PROGRESS

District Attorney Expects to Finish
Offering Testimony for Prosecu-
ton at Next Session.
Those who attended the Wyman
trial yesterday in expectation of a sem
sation were disappointed. Nearly the
entire morning was taken UP by the
reading of the primary election notice
offered as evidence by the defense.
In the afternoon Registrar Adams was
called to the stand to verify the pro-
ceedings of the election. Attorney
Ccuntryman fought every scrap of evil
dence offered.
AT one time the accused ballot-box
suffers attorney strayed from the
track to an address on the privilege of
cross-questioning. The affidavit of
registration, signed by Wyman, was
verified by Deputy Registrar j. x.
Strand and was entered as an exemp-
lar of the accused's handwriting. Fair
fax Wheelan was present in the court
room in the afternoon. The trial will
be resumed at $50 o'clock on Mon
day morning. At that time, District
Attorney Byington says. the testimony
for the prosecution will be completed.

BYlNCTON SAYS
HALT TO JURY
Several Indictments Found
in Eppinger Cases and
Attorney Is Overwhelmed
IMPOSE TOO MUCH WORK
InquisitOrs Will Be Called
to Stand Iat Arraignment
of Chan Cheung To-Day
IMPOSE TOO MUCH WORK

The Grand Jurors are blasting the
mountain of fraud in the Eppinger
grain cases, and if their present pur-
poses are carried out there will be an
upheaval that will spread quakiness
far and wide. Witnesses who are al
legged to have committed perjury at the
trial of Jacob Eppinger some months
ago, in the effort to save him from
conviction, are particularly the aim Of
the Grand Jury. Nor is any one i'm
plicated in the gigantic scheme of
fraudulent issues Of warehouse certifi-
Gates to be allowed to escape.
Several indictments We're found in
the case last night, but District Attor-
ney Byington insisted on having sew
eral days to prepare the charges for
formal presentation. He complained
that the Grand Jury was about over
whelming him with It's demands for
indictments.
Foreman Andrews was asked wheth-
er Jacob Eppinger's sons were the sub
jects of inquiry, but he would neither
deny nor affirm. Nothing has been
done toward preferring charges against
Bernard Ettlinger, as has been erron-
eously reported.
The Grand Jury will appear before
Judge Lawlor this morning with three
indictments in minor cases. Louis Ep-
stein. a Mission street secondhand
dealer, will be accused of receiving
stolen property. According to the EVIL
dence submitted Epstein was in league
with a clerk in the store of the Pacific
Hardware and Steel company. The
latter stole from the stocks and Ep-
stein sold the booty.
At II o'clock the Jurors Will be called
as witnesses at the arraignment Of
Chan Cheung before Judge Lawlor The
attorneys for Chan will attempt to
show that in finding the indictment
against him for the murder Of Yom
Yick the jurors were actuated by un-
just and forbidden motives. 1t will be
contcnded that the true bill for muir
der was returned against the Chinese
because he would not tell of the police
corruption fund in Chinatown, which
he is believed to have handled. The
methods Of sweating Chan, re-
sorted to by the police committee Of
the Grand Jury, are to have full air
ing, declare his counsel. and the Grand
Jurors expect a warm grilling on the
witness stand.

SAVES CHILD'S LIFE
DR.. e. ". Stevens of the Harbor Hos
pital Performs a Daring and
nr,or.affnv7


The carelessness of a druggist in the
Popular Drug Store at Broadway and
Dupont street yesterday jeopardized
the life of little Wong You. who lives
at 62s Pacific street, and the Chinese
child's life was saved only by dar-
ing and unusual operation performed
by Harbor Hospital Surgeon w. E.
Stevens. assisted by DR.. Glover.
Wong You, the son Of Wong Look,
who conducts restaurant at 642
Jackson street, was taken by his
mother to the drug store. She asked
the attendant for a dose Of castor oil
fer the child and received a quantity
Of carbolic acid.
Little suspecting the mistake the
child gulped down the fiery liquid and
fell writhing to the floor in convul-
sions. An ambulance soon arrived and
little Wong You was taken to the
Harbor Hospital. There DR.. Stevens
discovered that the trachea and wind
pipe had become congested and closed,
so that the child was choking to
death.
The surgeon resolved upon heroic
measures. With the aid of DR.. Glover
the patient was placed on the table,
the sufferers throat and trachea were
slit open with a keen knife and sill
yer tube was inserted. An antidote to
the poison was administered and the
child was able to breathe and will live.

worse nit than the F,or,d. Trucker.

worse Hit than the Florida Truckers.
The New York Packer says there
can be no doubt but that the truck
season just ending has been one OF
almost general disaster to Texas
growers. They have suffered from
numerous conditions. They have lost
heavily by reason of overproduction
of certain commodities and from un-
der production of Others Weather
conditions were bad throughout the
entire season, and, taken altogether,
the Texas grower has been up against
the rough side of the deal all the way
through.
Many letters are coming to The
Packer from Texas growers. Many
of them are stories of sorrow; stories
telling of the disaster that has be-
fallen the grower, and Judging from
the tone of some of the correspOn-
dence of this nature, Encouragement
and bullheadiness ON the part of some
of the growers has added heavily to
the load that they are bearing for
reasons stated above.
A well known grower in eastern
Texas, in writing to The Packer a
summary of the seasons work, says:
1--WE have closed one of the most
Improbable seasons we have ever
known IN the truck business. There
is hardly trucker here but who has
not lost out. Truckers here are
thoroughly demoralized. Added to
unfavOrable weather and other con-
ditions, we have had the worst man.
agement this year we have ever
known, and the members of the as
sociatiCn are to blame, and no one
else. offered them for well known
