Procession Confined to Fillmore

Vote of Committee

Hours After Chime of Bells
Welcomes 1900

Cafes. theaters and restaurants along
and adjacent to Fillmore street are
making preparations in the way of spe
cial attractions and decorations for the
crowd expected to be present at the
New Year carnival
Contrary to statements appearing yes
yesterday. it has been settled definitely
that the Fillmore street carnival pro
cessiOn will be confined to Fillmore
street While the program Is not yet
ready for announcement. the line or
march will not vary from that thor
oughfare. on which the procession will
begin and end
Authority for this statement came
from Samuel AdeIstein. chairman of the
committee in charge and director of the
carnival. who said that it was the YER
dict of the committee at meeting
called yesterday for the purpose OF
passing on the question.
JOINT PARADE IMPOSSIBLE
In explanation Adelstein stated that
the Fillmore street improvement asso-
citation appreciated the true ring of
good fellowship which prompted the
suggestion that all the celebrating or
ganizations should meet and exchange
the compliments of the season AS a
matter of fact, he said. that body more
than a month ago proposed the same
thing, but got no encouragement and
abandoned the project as hopeless Now
arrangements have been made on
scale of such magnitude as to preclude
the possibility OF any deviation from
the program as finally determined upon
I'VE are all working for the common
good of the entire city, said Adelstein-
San Francisco is the real beneficiary
of all these celebrations Out OF town
people are not interested IN the partic-
ular local organizations under whose
auspices they are given. The credit will
rebound to the city itself. It will be
known as the city to come to on New
Years eve.
CHIMES SIGNAL FOR HII.ARITY
The Fillmore street Improvement as
sociation will do it's share. as viii the
other organizations. believe next
year we shall all get together and give
one big, rousing celebration But at
this late date 1t would demoralize all
our plans to attempt to merge our car
nival with the parades planned in. other
parts of the city. 1T is too big. The
result might. and in all probability
would. be a blockade and fnextricable
confusion, not unattended by danger to
pedestrians
When the bells begin to chime their
welcome to the new year the festivities
will be at their zenith IN Fillmore
street, and the fun probably will con-
tinue for hours thereafter.

week of penance yesterday and had
made preparations for big business
during the Christmas holidays
Commissioner Sweigert declared that
Pratt and Becker had perjured them
selves in their testimony before the
commission several weeks ago and that
he would not vote for a renewal. In
quiries made by Becker as to how the
members of the commission stood in re-
gard to his license were answered by
Sweigert.

This is the worst dive in San Fran
cisco, said Sweigert. II think that the
complaints against their place are
conducting the place in proper man
ner. Becker was urged to plead guilty
to the charges before the commission
several weeks ago on the supposition
that If he did so that would not take
the witness stand and that the com
missioners would vote to not revoke
his license. They have perjured them
selves and they cannot get my vote,
Commissioner Leggett, who has voted
heretofore with Keil and Cutler on all
matters, sided with Sweigert and pro-
posed that the application go over one

BAR ASSOCIATION
TO. SEEK REFORMS
Would Enable Nine to Decide
Criminal Case Not Inyolv-
ing Death Penalty

The San Francisco bar association
last night struck out boldly for radical
reform in criminal law. BY a majority
vote in each instance these revolution
ary changes in legal procedure were
proposed:
Finding of verdict in criminal cases.
except where the offense is punishable
by death, by out of IL jurors.
Granting Ito appellate and supreme
courts right to review facts of evil
dence as well as law and reverse the
finding of jury or lower court when a
miscarriage of judgment is evident.
Taking the Judiciary out of politics
by eliminating from the ballot party
des sgnations, in accordance with the
plan of William Denman.
Granting right OF immediate appeal
to the supreme court in cases involving
the writ of habeas corpus and extend
ing this privilege of appeal to the pros
ecution.
A test vote which was taken at the
beginning of the meeting on the ques-
tion, Shall a jury's verdict be final ex-
cept when unanimous? met the most en-
thusiastic approval OF all the PROPOSE
tions. But two votes were cast against
| it, being those of Lewis F. Byington
and Timothy Lyons. There was much
discussion of the other measures, and
the talk at times threatened to flash
forth into heated colloquy, but the
meeting finally adjourned without any
open ruptures.
The proposed Denman plan to take
the judiciary out of politics met the
unanimous approval of the association.
The author of the proposed new section
of the political code explained its pur-
pose and provisions, and by rising vote
a resolution of hearty sympathy with
the principles involved was passed by
the body. With Denman Attorneys
