A warrant was issued yesterday by
Police Judge Shortall for the arrest
of Joseph Grant on charge of at
tempting to wreck train on the coast

road. The complaint was sworn to by

last evening
Sunday morning Misladen saw a
track velocipede tearing down the hin
from Valencia street crossing and, fear
ing that it might collide with some
electric car crossing the tracks or with
the engine of a train leaving the Third
and derailed it,
Grant had been discharged Saturday
light for fighting with the signal main
tainer by whom he had been employed
and when Misladen saw him approach-
ing the track he asked him who had
set the track velocipede in motion.
Grant said that he had taken it from
the shed at the Valencia street cross
ing. placed red light on the front
and started it down hill.

laden. Grant is said TO have replied,
We'll, ] want to get even with them for

Pollok then made his plea that the
expanding life of the city demanded
different attitude toward the municipal
administration on the part of the
transportation company, and that peace
and confidence could only come with
the retirement of the Calhoun officials
from the management of the road.
Asked to explain after the session
how this result was to come TO pass,
Pollok said:
1T is up to the bond holders Of the
United Railroads. They must see to
it that the present mana cement is
eliminated. There is nothing else to
be added. New directors at the head
of the company can bring about a
changed relation with the city. and the

StipuIations Demanded

STIpuldIIOnS DemdHOeU
Pollok's declaration dumbfounded the
other members of the board but not
another word was spoken in regard to
the men at the head of the traction
monopoly Chairman Johnston of the
public utilities committee reiterated his
readiness to recommend the grant of
franchise to George Willcut, the COM
pany's secretary, with stipulations con-
serving the citys rights. The action of
the board in putting over final action
one week was unanimous.
The stipulations demanded by super
visor d'Ancona. in line with Chairman
| Johnston's stand, were: That Secretary
Willcut, the United Railroads and the
San Francisco electric railways COM
pany, the new Calhoun corporation,
agree to a waiver of exclusive fran
chse rights of way on Eighteenth and
Valencia streets; and the incorpora-
| tion of a disavowal of the terminal"
restriction, multiplying the charter pro-
vision that another road may use 10
consecutive blocks of the right of way
granted.
The issue was brought up on the di-
verse reports of Johnston and Murphy
on the one hand tnat the grant be re-
| fused and of McLeran that it could
| with safety be conceded.
'It might not be legally necessary.
and still highly expedient, to write the
! 10 block provision of the charter into
| the franchise" suggested Mayor Taylor
| from the chair when McLeran quoted
| verbal opinion of Assistant City Attor-
ney Lull that the charters provisions
operated as it were, automatically.
Voluminous correspondence on the
| proposed franchise was read. Patrick
! Calhoun's and L. NJ. Kings negotia-
| tions to arrive at a foundation for the
| beginning of an agreement to be pre-
| sented to the city for acceptance were
| gone over at length. The report of
| Supervisors Molera, D'Anconna and
| Booth, the public utilities committee
men of the first Taylor board, advis-
| ing against the franchise as sur
render of city's rights without due
| compensation came to light. Attor-
ney's Graves and Peterson and r. NJ.
Arms trong, representing the joint com
mittee of improvement clubs bent on
extensions of railway service, spoke to
| the advisability of the city accepting
q chance and passing the ordinance.
why asked Supervisor Connolly
of Peterson, 'if the company says it
will abide by the charter 10 block pro-
vision, does it refuse to have that
provision plainly written into the con-
tract?"
Peterson evaded answer. and Con-
molly reiterated his query to no direct
| response. Secretary King of the Mer-
chants association stated frankly
| enough his understanding was that the
! company hoped to overthrow the 10
block provision in the courts.
1t was at the clos of the long de-
| bate that d'Ancona moved the post
| ponement for a week on the main
proposition. This followed the boards
rejection of McLerans motion that the
! city attorney be consulted as to
whether the charter bound or not.
The board listened instead to the
mayors and Johnston's advice that

Meeting at Ocean View


BY unanimous vote the Ocean View
Improvement club. to the number of so.
last night adopted a resolution in favor
of the issuance of bonds for the pur-
chase of the Geary street railway. The
greatest enthusiasm was shown at the
meeting, each speaker receiving the
closest attention and hearty applause.
Dennis Quillinan, as a representative
of the San Francisco labor council. in
very few words explained the posi-
tion of that organization on the ques-
ton Richard Cornelius took up the
matter in detail carrying his hearers
through a long campaign of struggle
against private ownership of public
utilities.
A. II. Barendt said that there IS not
another city in the world that will take
the abuse from corporations that is
taken by San Francisco. He stated that

they are begging from the city and at
the same time slapping the city in the
face, as they have at the present time
one gang out working to obtain new
franchise, while another is around bill
posting and advising the citizens not
to attempt to handle franchise of
their own.
He asked his hearers why il the
Geary street line would be a bad thing
for the city to own do not the present
owners of the street car system sur
render their entire franchises?
This question was answered by the
speaker wit hthe assertion that the
reason such bitter war is being waged
is due to the fact that once the city
shows the company how a streetcar
line should be run it will be necessary
for it to spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars to reconstruct and re-equ;p
its antiquated system.
