FAVORS SITE FOR
AIN AQUATIC
PARK
President Stafford of Harb0I
Board Advocates Purchase of
Land Near Hunters Point /.


President stafford of the harbor
commission has. taken a deep interest
in the movement to provide an aquatic
park on the water. front, and suggested
yesterday that 1t could well be located
to the south of Hunters point. The
only objection that would be urged
against such site. would be the dis
tance from the center of the city, but
Stafford pointed out that the district
win build up rapidly and before many
years would be easy of access.
1t is proposed to arrange for ath-
letic grounds and facilities for boating
and swimming Several of the ath-
letic clubs have urged the supervisors
TO provide for such park in the next
bond issue, and the Idea has found
proposed that 1t be located at the
foot of Van Ness avenue, but C6mmis-
sioner Stafford offered the suggestion
could be obtained around the bend
from Hunters point. The land there is
in private ownership, but is assessed
suitable site could be found in the
basin south OF Hunters point. There
piles could not be driven and 1t would
not be wanted for commercial pur-
poses. In a matter of this kind a city
llUEl 90 one OF Two IQlHSS. III can
either buy for the future or. like Lon
don and New York, it can pay enor-
nous prices for property in con-
gested district.
THE land near Hunters point could
should think, be purchased by the
city for a comparatively small sum
The. city should be able to buy three,
four or five blocks there. While 1t may
not be as accessible. at present as other
places, that district will grow rapidly
If such a purchase should be made
look upon the members OF this board
OF supervisors as benefactors."
Mission Approves Plan
The proposition OF the aquatic park
commission to have the city Issue bonds
for the purchase Of a site near Fort
Mason, for an aquatic park, was in
dorsed by the Mission promotion asso-
citation last night Objection was made
to the proposition by p. J. Healy, a
member of the new grand jury, but
his opposition was defeated. A propo.
baseball club asking for support for
a Mission baseball team during the
present season was referred to the ex-
ecutive committee of the association.

Persons in the vicinity OF the Treas

Fifteenth street where the ever-pres-
ent sparrow is the only thing ever. seen
in the way OF a bird. We're treated 10
an interesting spectacle about 2.30 O'Clock
yesterday Afternoon.
A man carrying two large covered bas-
kets alighted from a Treasury car. Set

into the air a fock OF pigeons. There

James Greenwood, who lives az Twelfth

the pigeons released were his flock OF

Twice daily. he said, he takes the birds
70 some point In the city and releases
them. They fly directly TO their home in
his yard and usually arrive long before
Mr.. Greenwood can return BY the cars.
These flights are 10 exercise the birds,
said Mr.. Greenwood. His pigeons are
racing birds, and. like any other speed
aunihilators, they need TO be kept in

Pigeon fanciers in the city are aroused
over the action Of the District authorities
ruling against the practice OF flying hon.
ing pigeons In the city. A meeting Of the
three associations Of pigeon owners was
held OF Friday evening. at which 1t was
decided to carry the matter into the
courts with a test case.

who died early yesterday morning al his
apartment al the Toronto, Twentieth and
streets northwest, viii be held TO-
morrow afternoon from his home. In

Mr.. MacLennan was sixty years old
and was native Of New York. He

course 20 enlist in the Union army, IN
which he served during the entire pc
Rod of the civil war.
Mir MacLennan is survived by mis-
WIFE, Mrs Marcia MacLennan, and two
daughters. Mrs William Hancock. OF
Fort Caswell y. c., and Miss Margaret
MacL ennan. Of this city.
Acting Secretary Of the Treasury
Charles d. Norton made the following
sta emeut in reference TO the deceased Of
fetal.
Mr. McLennan was a great bureau
chief whose valuable services had been
recognized by every one connected with
The fiscal bureaus Of the Treasury for
the last thirty years. He was taken III
shortly after Secretary MaCNeagh came
20 Washington, but not before the Secre-
tary had come 10 have the highest conf
dence in and regard for HIM dis facility
for figures was remarkable. He was the
main reliance Of successive adminisra-
tons in the matter of making Up the an
nuai estimates for the Treasury and Other
departments.
When the DoCkery commission In 1872
reorganized the Treasury Department, NJ
AIacL ennan's services made him marked
man. His services were repeatedly sought
fo- important positions in private bust
ness. but he preferred TO remain on q
small salary at the head Of his division
because he cared for his work. He was
one of the many men Of marked ability
who occupy comparatively obscure gov
eminent positions. and whose real value
Is too little appreciated By the public al
large"
In Nav, 1903. Mr.. MacLennan was sent
by the Treasury Department to Honolulu
to settle and pay of the public debt OF
| Hawaii assumed by the United States al
tho time Of annexation. He again went
