NO EXTENSIONS
To BE GRANTED
Works Board DEGREES That
Public and Private Con-
tracts Must Be Finished
NEW SEWER TO BE BUILT
Park Commissioners Will Be
Asked for Permission to
Erect a Pumping Station

The Board of Public Works yesterday
took steps to bring dilatory contractors to
time by adopting a resolution declaring
that from and after the 9Th day of June,
1906 no extension of time will be granted
within which to perform street work un-
der private contract beyond the time
fixed in the resolution Of the board grant
Ing permission to perform such work, un-
less it shall satisfactorily appear that
substantial progress has been made In the
prosecution of the work contracted for.
The resolution also provides that no ex-
tension of time shall be recommended Tor
work done under public contract unless 1t
shall satisfactorily appear that the failure
to commence and prosecute the work mas
not be en- due to any cause over which the
contractor had control. The preamble of
the resolution says:
The lack of diligence manifested by contrac-
tors in the prosecution of street improvements
under private. we'll public contracts, has
become productive OF. warranted complaints
from property owners and other persons inter
ested generally, and so detrimental to the puD-
lie interest and convenience, that II Is now
incumbent upon this board to adopt sucn
remedial measures as will in is Judgment eI-
fectively discourage the practices and pro-
cedure heretofore obtaining that have IN
very important degree contributed to the IN
toierable conditions now existent in respec. TO
the projection of desirable street improvements
The Board of Works adopted the recon-
mendation of City Engineer Woodward to
extend the main sewer for the Richmond
and Sunset districts, which starts at the
southern end of the Great Highway,
northerly on Forty-eighth avenue through
a tunnel under Point Lobos Hill, discharg-
ing in the swift current near Lands End.
While the tunnel is being constructed 1T
will be necessary to provide temporary
pumping station in Golden Gate Park on
the line of Forty-eighth avenue. which
will force the sewage to available points
for use in the cultivation of the park, as
is now done with the sewage from the
H street sewer to Twentieth avenue.
The Board of Works will ask the Park
Commission for permission to construct
the temporary pumping station, Superin-
tendent McLaren havingsexpressed his op-
position to the plan to the City Engineer.
The board asked the City Attorney as to
whe ther the city or the Harbor Commis-
sion has jurisdiction over Channel street,
between Fifth and Seventh, 1t being pro-
posed to collect rental from those occupy
ing the ground.
The board ordered bids invited for the
paving of Bartlett alley and Sixteenth
street between Folsom and Valencia, un-
der the bond issue.

titled that ii was not the nightly pres
ence of the defendants glass-coyered
wagon in front of his dwelling that an
noyed him, but that the fnterminable
screaming of steam whistle attached
to the roasting machine within the
wagon severely Jared the nerves of his
wife, who was Ill. His repeated re-
quests that the defendant either move
on his wagon or shut off the whistle
were met by defiant lourishing~o ~of the
license to peddle, so police aid was
finally summoned.
While several feminine visitors to
the Chutes were playing box ball" the
same being a paraphrased game OF
bowling, Peter Fillippelli, aged 21 and
teamster by occupation, gave them un-
solicited advice as to how they should
roll the spheres and by other means
aroused their ire to such extent that
they appealed to the manager of the
concession" for protection. That gen.
tleman's polite remonstrance was re-
ceived by Mr.. f. in angry spirit and the
language with which he retorted was
so indelicate as to drive the women
away Then a special policeman was
summoned, and when Mr., f. resisted
arrest his face was battered until he
succumbed to the inevitable.

SCOTTY AGREES TO
STAND. HIS TRIAL
Death Valley Miner and Ac-
tor Interrupts Wheels
of Justice.

Walter Scott. the Death Valley miner
and actor. took the law into his own
hands yesterday and told Judge Dunno
through his attorneys. Louis Ferrari
and John j. Greeley. that he would go
to San Bernardino to stand his trial
on the charge of assault with a dead
ly weapon, but wanted to be released
on bonds till he had fulfilled his theat-
rical engagements. The Judge took
him at his word and remanded him, but
allowed him to go on bonds of $780,
Scott's counsel had argued on the ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus
for his release. that the whole pro-
ceedings in regard to the issuance OF
the warrant by a Justice of the Peace
at San Bernardino were irregular and
defective, inasmuch as the affidavit
had been made before the Deputy Dis
trict Attorney instead of before the
magistrate and no bail had been fixed
on the warrant. The Judge condemned
the proceedings and said that if the
original complaint had been before him
instead of duplicate he would have
discharged the prisoner. 1t was then
that Scott chimed in with his promise
to go to San Bernardino to stand his
trial.
After being released on bonds Scott
left for Fresno.

.UN|F FORN RULES
ARE ACCEPTED
Real Estate Board Agrees
On Selling Contract at
End of Long Discussion

For the first time in the history Of
real estate dealings IN San Francisco
a Uniform selling contract form has
been adopted by the large houses.
Properties valued collectively at hum
dreds OF millions of dollars have.
for sale and have been dis
posed of without any uniform prao-
tice among the realty brokers. Finally
the brokers found the situation to be
intolerable. Parties having properties
for sale found no general system in the
matter of agreements.
The San Francisco Real Estate Board
took the matter up soon after It's or
ganization, a little more than one year
ago, and Il has figured at intervals in
the discussions of the board of direct
ors, headed by President Josiah N.
Howell, ever since.
Individual houses have forms that
were presented to sellers for signature
when their properties were placed In
the market. These agreements or con-
tracts have served as the basis of the
final form that was adopted yesterday.
Lawyers have been consulted and COM
mittees have struggled with a prob
lem that concerns alike buyers, sellers
and brokers during a series of pro-
tracted meetings.
Nearly every member of the board Of
directors of the Real Estate Exchange
was present at a meeting in the rooms
of the board yesterday afternoon, and
all the provisions were considered care
fully. amended after discussion and
finally adopted. The Importance of the
matter caused the brokers, who had
often considered the matter before. TO
sit some hours before they finally gave
unanimous approval. The contract form
will be printed and every real estate
house in the city that is a member Of
the Real Estate Board will be given
copies for use in dealing with the pub
lie. AS nearly all the large brokerage
houses are in the board, 1T is probable
the outsiders will see the advantages
Of uniform practice and will use the
agreement also as a basis of transac-
tions in city realty.

Joseph Field, Who Killed His Father
in-Law, Need Not Pay ExtOr-

Joseph Field, former policeman, who
is under sentence of death for killing
his fatherin-law, was a witness in
Justice of the Peace Daniels court
yesterday in a suit brought, Jointly
against him, his brother. Emil Field, and
his mother. Mrs. Christina Field. The
suit was brought by George c. Appel,
who wanted $3.50 as attorneys fees for
having assisted in FIELDS defense on
the murder charge and also in divorce
proceedings brought by FIELDS wife.
Field was brought into the courtroom
in handcuffs in charge of a deputy
sheriff. the order for his appearance as
a witness having been issued by Judge
Graham. Field did not look like man
who is in the shadow of death and gave
his answers to the questions put by the
attorneys in the suit in quiet way.
He said that he had promised Appel
that the latter would be paid for his
legal services and in fact Appel had
received $50 from FIELDS brother. Emil.
Judge Daniels decided that the amount
was reasonable compensation for the
services rendered by Appel and gave
Judgment for the additional amount
demanded.
