OPPOSE PROPOSED
PLAYGROUND SITE
Realty Men Object to Acquisition
of Property at Seventh
and Bryant Streets

At the request of the building COM
mittee of the board of supervisors the
petition of the San Francisco real
estate board requesting that the city
refrain from the purchase of additional
property at Seventh and Bryant streets
to be used as a children's playground
was taken up yesterday by the chill
dren's playground committee. The sec
retary of the real estate board and
A. ]. Rich and r. G. Hooker argued in
favor of the petition.
The real estate board takes the posi-
tion that when the bonds were voted
for this purpose there was urgent need
for an additional childrens playground
south of Market street, but by reason
of the earthquake and fire that dis
trict has been converted into a busi-
ness district, being devoted principally
to manufacturing and warehousing,
and that the purchase of additional
Is needless expenditure of the citys
money. In the opinion of the real
estate board that section probably will
never again be a tenement district.
The speakers urged that the super
visorS refrain from prosecuting fur
ther condemnation proceedings looking
toward the purchase OF additional
property in this locality.
j. c. Astredo, representing the chill
dren's playground commission, argued
that the property should be purchased
now while it is cheap and that the
playground could be used by the chill
dren attending the several schools
south of Market street. or perhaps be
used as a baseball ground.
The real estate men said that, in
their opinion. there was a disposition
on the part of the owners of some of
the property sought to exact exorbitant
prices, and that the city should not
purchase this property now at any
price. They said that there were resi-
dence districts in this city more in
need of Fairgrounds than the district
bounded by Seventh and Bryant streets,
and the fund should be utilized for
Fairgrounds and improvements in new
districts now thickly populated.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. ia measure framed
to safeguard the equal rights of col
ored persons, which failed of passage
at the last session, was reintroduced
today by Senator Anthony of San Fran
cisco. 1t provides that all persons shall
have equal rights in hotels, restaurants,
soda fountaons, saloons, barber shops,
baths and places Of amusement 1t
aims to put an end to the discrimination
against colored persons, which is at
present practiced and tacftly recognized
in many parts Of the state.
Assemblyman Coghlan today intro
duced a bill to increase the number OF
notaries public in San Francisco from
so to S5. San Francisco is the only
city in the United States where the
number is limited and the consequent

valuable. When the bill was offered

er or not the intent was to remove the
limit.

resolution to have the terms of the

INCOMPETENT CLERKS
HANDICAP Law MAKERS

CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 15.-Incompetency has
been usual in other sessions and this
one is no exception. Because of the in
ability of many of the clerks assigned to
committees of both houses, several of the
chairmen have been forced to keep the
records of the meetings themselves.
Many of the Legislators are bewailing
the fact that they were so anxious to
distribute their patronage regardless of
the qualifications of the recipient The
discharge Of several persons now on the
pay roll may be necessary to make
room for competents
One of the striking exhibitions of in
competency occurred in the meeting of
the public health and quarantine com
mittee of the senate today. J. J. Gull
foyle of San Francisco was assigned to
the committee as clerk. His attempts
to keep the record were ludicrous, and
after a session which lasted for almost
two hours the only record of the pro-
ceedings was a note to the effect that
the committee had convened.
Senator Roseberry, chairman of the
committee, announced that he would
demand competent help, saying that 1t
was evident that the clerk knew moth
ing about the work assigned to him.

GREAT SUCCESS
Curing Cancers
Any Lump in Woman's
Breast Is Cancer

Any tumor, lump or sore on the lip.
face or body six months is cancer.
The many remarkable cures Oe
cancer in wOmen's breasts by Dr.
S. r. Chamley. $50 McAlIister ST., san
Francisco, have long been the sub
ject OF comment by leading news
papers and magazines throughout
America 1t is universally conceded
that he publishes the best 130-page
book ever printed on Cancers cured
without knife or pain. sent free to all
who describe their cases. The reader
may save a life by clipping this out
and sending it to someone with cancer.
The doctors confidence in his ability
to cure every case he treats is illus
trated by his offer to give $1,000 if he
fails to cure any cancer he treats be-
fore it has poisoned deep glands, and
that not a dollar need be paid until
cured.
ANY lump in woman's breast is
cancer" is an astonishing assertion.
but it has been proven by DR.. Chamley
who has devoted thirty-five years to
the study OF cancer and its cure.

PLAN REFORM IN

for First Termers
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CALI, HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, sACRA-
MENTO. Jan. l5.-Plans for sweeping
change in California penology are con-
tanned in a bill prepared at the sug-
gestion Of Governor Gillett, Lieutenant
Governor Porter and other members OF
the state board Of prison directors ana
introduced by Senator Wolfe
The purpose of the bill is to keep
first termers between the ages of 16 and
80 away from the communicating in
huence of hardened convicts, as well as
to prepare them for another start in the
world. by confining them TO an institu-
ton to be known as the California State
reformatory. The bill carries an ap-
preparation Of $3.50, 900 for the purchase
of land and the construction of the
new penal institution.
Under the proposed system persons
between 1s and 80 who have been con-
victed of felony and who never have
been in prison before Will receive no
fixed sentence, but merely commit
ment to the reformatory. With them
will go records Of their cases and these
records are to be added to during their
terms. If they prove incorrigibIe, they
are to be transferred to San Quentin
or Folsom, but II they prove tract
able and show evidence of penitence
and reform they are to be paroled, and
if the board of trustees see fit, absolute
ly released.
The policy will be not to discharge a
prisoner until he has been paroled for
one year, but this policy may be ig-
nored in exceptional cases. IL a pris
oner is discharged before the expira-
ton of the maximum time for which he
might have been sentenced for his
crime, he is to regain his citizenship
automatically. Prisoners are to be al
lowed a percentage of their earnings
while in the reformatory.
The bill provides for the purchase of
900 acres of land and the construction
of the reformatory by convict labor, as
far as feasible. The reformatory is to
be administered by a board of trustees
consisting of five men to be appointed
by the governor to serve four years
without pay.

observed that the proposed law would

In the senate to a member of the
democratic minority from San Luis
ODlspo and, in the assembly, to San
hafaei man who can not be elassed as
reformer?
This question was asked many times
today and has not been satisfactorily
answered. Hugh McIsaac, representing
ehe commonwealth club, had the 81
amendments to the penal code intro
duced by Senator Campbell, democrat
and by Assemblyman Butler, per-
former. The disposition of the bills
Is peculiar, considering that they come
from San Francisco and might naturally

bers. McIsaac's action in the senate
was particularly commented on, not
only because Campbell is member OF
the minority, but particularly because
senators Burnett of San francisco and
Boynton of Oroville are members or
the commonwealth club and nevertne-
less We're not asked to introduce the
bills.
The bills represent the studies OF
several months devotion to the SUBJECT
by special committees of the club. Tney
aim to put stop to the present system,
carried to almost impossible lengths IN
the trial of grafters in San FRANCISCO.
which placed the grand jury on trial
after the indicted person had oeen
brought to bar. Under the new system
the validity of the grand jury can not
be attacked after 1t has been impaneled.
Grand jurors under examination Will
be compelled to take oath that tney
have no personal knowledge of or inter-
est in the matter under discussion Men
who have property In their wives
names will be eligible for service.
Other changes relate to the fnstruc-
ton of jurors; motions for new trials;
the presenta ton of bills of exceptions,
and methods of appeal.
A sweeping change will compei
higher tribunals to affirm the Judg-
ment OF the trial courts unless the
affirmation would work a miscarriage
of Justice. This would make 1T unneces-
sary for the courts TO follow the strict
technical construction of the law

to establish reservoirs in Hetch
Hetchy for a water supply, Assem-
blyman Nat c. Coghlan of San
Francisco today bitterly denounced
the corporation and secured the pas
sage of the joint resolution that
passed the senate last week urging
the California delegation in Wash
ington 10 aid the proposition.
1t was in opposing the Senator
Curtin amendment, proposed by f..
n Baxter. TO fix Jawbone creek as
the point of diversion, that Coghlan
impugned the motive Of members of
the house in opposing the joint reso-
luton.
Baxter in proposing the amend

than Just to the extensive mining

point where the water should be
taken out.
will the gentleman yield to a
question:" asked Coghlan.
NO, sir, TIL yield to nothing.
When I get through you can talk"
,etorted the Wawona assemblyman.
Baxter proceeded by saying he did
not oppose San Francisco's taking
water from Hetch Hetchy, but he
wanted the resolution to be more
explicit.
Those defending the joint resolu-
ton contended that the amendment
was offered merely to delay action
on the matter. Henry n. Beatty of
San Francisco asserted that it was
planned to take the water from the
vicinity of Jawbone and that the re-
ports and estimates showed this, but
he did not think it proper to set
forth the fact in the resolution.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER

MENTO. Jan. 15.-Following Leeds
stringent bin came more proposed
enactments for the regulation Of
loan sharks" at today's session.
Senator Stetson proposes that an as
signment or agreement to assign
future or unearned salary for a
greater period than 80 days shall be
void on the ground that possibility
is not an interest capable of transfer.
Stetson also proposes that it shall be
unlawful for a loan shark" to charge
more than 4 per cent per month for
the money he loans. Another bill of
Stetson's places a trust deed given to
secure an obligation on the same foot
ing as mortgage. in so far as the

The San Francisco call., 1909-01-16

A. NJ. Drew of Fresno said he did
not oppose the resolution, but he
did want to protect the natural
scenery Of Hetch Hetchy valley. He
also attacked the Kahn bill on the
ground that it did not conform to
the Garfield grant.
1T appears to me that the pro-
posers Of the amendment are just
trying to gain time" said w. J. Cos
tar of Chico. Milton Schmitt of San
Francisco also argued against delay.
c. c. Young of Berkeley spoke of
San Francisco's need and took q
slap at the Spring Valley company
for its unsatisfactory service. George
L. Sackett favored the amendment
because he believed it would be
businesslike to set forth just what
was wanted.
Coghlan then made his attack on
the water corporation, and charged
1t with trying to block legislation.
He said the water company had for
years past acted in a most arbitrary
manner and that relief was sought
from the lash that had been welded
over San Francisco by this tyran-
nical corporation.
Il have reason to suspect that the
interests that now own the water
system are working in Washington
to delay action and that they have
agents here outside the doors of
this assembly working to delay ac-
tion," said Coghlan.
Drew jumped to his feet, asking
that Coghlan be called to order and
denying that he had been infiu-
enced by any lobbyist. AS Speaker
Stanton called Coghlan to order the
San Franciscan asserted that If the
cap fitted Drew could wear 1t.
BY a vote of % to 81, the Baxter
amendment was defeated. The
original resolution was then adopt
ed unanimously. The resolution will
be hurried to Washington advising
the California delegation that the
state legislature favors the Hetch
Hetchy proposition.
