FANC|ED BONE
OF CONTENTION
PLEASANT STREET CAR LINE
MAKES ANOTHER UNEx-
PEcT APPEARANCE.

Owing to the heated controversy
among the residents of Pleasant street
regarding the proposed electric line,
the county commissioners have agreed
to call a meeting December s. at z
o'clock at which time the grievances
of both factions will be heard. The
fact that the commissioners have
thoroughly Investigated the trying sit
uation and have called two meetings
for the purpose of granting the prop
erty owners opportunity to air their
grievances, has caused them to feel
rather uncertain regarding their latest
action.
1t is now probable that, inasmuch
as a portion of the residents ask that
the street car line be placed in the
center of the road, while an equally
large number earnestly request that
the line be placed six feet north OF
the center, the commissioners will
agree to run the line exactly in the
center Of the road as far as the Ber-
ney school. and from there on to the
end of the road, either the north or
south side of the road, as may seem
eXpedient The electric traction COM
pany has filed new petitions and these
will be considered by the commission
ers this afternoon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-Tomor-
gistered voters of San Francisco will
so to the polls and settle with their
ballot the political future of their city
for the next two years. The three
Carthy, represent three widely diverg-
ent parties, each of which has ideals
and purposes widely separated from
each other. All maintain that the flu
election of their candida, es. Two of the
al.iidates, Mayor Edward Robeson
Taylor and Daniel A. Ryan, are pledged
to the continuance of the graft prose-
cution and both have the name of
William H. LangdOn on their tickets.
Former District Attorney P. H. Nc
Carthy, who is running on the rem
nant of the old urion labor party ma
chine, formerly dominated by Ruef and
Schmitz, and in which Schmitz is still
a large factor. is openly against the
graft prosecution and is fighting for
the election of the anti-graft prosecu-
ton mayor and for Frank MCGOWAN
for district attorney against Langdon.
Francis ]. Heney is making four
speeches a day, supporting Langdon
and is said to be drawing heavily with
the labor element.
In the swinging of the labor vote the
crux of the election rests. If Taylor
can defect enough labor votes from
Mccarthy he will win. Ryan, supported
by Hearst, is not figured to have much
of chance although he will draw
many votes away from Taylor and his
candidacy may assist the electing of
Mccarthy. Andrew Furesets. Walter
Macarthur. Michael Casey and many
of the best known labor leaders on the
Pacific coast, are supporting Taylor.
Taylor, Langdon, Ryan and Me-
Carthy addressed noon meetings today.
The labor party will close its cam
paign tonight with a parade.

effect that the patients condition was

therefore, is going abroad almost imme-
