HOLLY PARK SOON
TO BE IMPROVED
Mission Promotion Association
Wins Fight for Bettering
Big Playground

Following the request of the Mission
promotion association that Holly park
be placed in first class condition, the
shrubbery trimmed. water pipes laid
to the park and benches placed therein
the board of park commissioners mas
notified the association that the work
of improvement will be started I'M
mediately This is a boon long hoped
for by the large population in the
vicinity of the Holly park reservoir
between the Mission road and san
Bruno avenue. since Holly park is the
only pleasure ground in that Vlclnlty-
The action was obtained through the
efforts of the committee on parks ana
Fairgrounds of the Mission promotion
association, consisting of Rev. u y
Crowley. John Chettwood, D. r. r. Il
Seager, Edward H. Mitchell and J. -
AStredo.
The widening of Fourteenth street
has now been completed Special let
ters OF thanks have been sent TO the
Mission promotion association by the
Mission manufacturers for its deter
mination to have this work prosecuted
as also for the success with which II
has petitioned the board of public
works to reconstruct the pavement or
Folsom street. The United Railroads
company is now repairing it's right OF
way in Folsom street between Four
teenth and Sixteenth. and as soon as
this has been completed the city Will
pave its portion of the street.
The United Railroads has consented
to the request of the Mission pro-
motion associa tion that the Cortland
avenue cars be continued from the
junction of Cortland avenue and Mis-
sion street down Mission street TO
Third street. over Third street TO
Kearny, and over Kearny to Broad
way and the water front. This service
has proved a great accommodation to
the people living east of the Mission
road and at this time, when the Vista
cion valley line through the Croker
tract has been largely patronized. will
greatly aid rapid transportation ia
cilities. 1t is also probable that the
Polk and Larkin street line will bs
extended as far south as Daly's hill
after January I.
The committee on streets and sew
ers of the Mission promotion associa-
tion. consisting OF Patrick BrodericK.
A. B. Mcguire, Michael Casey. Oscar
Hooks and Bernard Burns, has had
several conferences with the officials
of the United Railroads company and
the Southern Pacific company regard
ing the feasibility of making the so
called Bernal cut. The proposition is
10 shorten the present outlet from san
Francisco and TO do away with the
heavy grade south of the Mission via
duct, by constructing a direct road
along the line of the Southern Pacific
tracks, between Randolph street and
the junction of st. Marys avenue and
Mission street.
General Manager Charles y. Black
of the United Railroads and Z. r. Cal
vim of the Southern Pacific company
have apDrOVpd the nrODOSftiOn Of the
Mission promotion association to make
the cut and the street committee OF
the association will now confer with
the board of public works.

JUDGMENT FOR SIS, 300
is GIVEN AGAINST HAYS
Runaway Banker Fails to Defend
Suit of Mrs. Hasshagen

Judgment for $4,000 against w. G.
Hays, the runaway president Of the
defunct Union state bank. was rem
dered by Judge Van Nostrand yester-
day in favor of Mrs. Adeline Hass-
hagen, mother of c. T. Hasshagen, who
was associated with Hays in his bank
ing transactions.
The defendant was served with a
copy of the complaint before he es-
capped to Manila under the nose of the
local police. who held a warrant for
his arrest on a charge of violating the
state banking laws.
The money was obtained from Mrs.
Hasshagen by Hays at different times
and it is supposed he used part of it in
connection with the Union state bank
and the State savings and commercial
bank. in both of which he was inter-
ested. No opposition on behalf of
Hays was made yesterday to the motion
of Attorney Edward G. Harrison for
judgment on the plcadings.

avenue near K street; the Seventh ave-
nue. Presbyterian church between / and
j streets; the Church of the Inearna-

fine structure and has just been finished.
st. AIMS parish has a very large land
holding, $50 feet in Thirteenth avenue.
125 feet in Fourteenth avenue and 240
feet in l street.
Golden Gate park is a great and in
creasing attraction. 1t is highly i'm
proved now in many parts and will be
much more so. This furnishes a splen-
did playground TO all of the children
of this district and for the men and
women who live in it. 1t has such
a variety of attractions and all are so
easily reached that the tastes of all
can be supplied with that which suits
them with very little Inconvenience and
very small expenditure of time. The
nearness of the entire district to the
park furnishes a great incentive for
people TO come and live here. That
cost which is incurred by a moderate
size family simply for carfares on a
Sunday or holiday visit to the public
playground. the people of Sunset are
free from. In 10 minutes walk the
residents of this district can enjoy at
fractions. absolutely free. that are
quite astonishing considering that they
are open for free enjoyment through
out the year. The grass and flowers
thrive in the summer because the park
gardeners keep them watered; and in
the winter season the park is even
more. delightful than it is in summer.
LONG FRONTAGE ON OCEAN
The frontage of the Sunset district
on the Pacific ocean is ) blocks long
which. considering the width of the
avenues added, makes up total of
net oh
few minutes to go from any part of
Sunset to the beach. BY way of Ninth
avenue the cars connect to all parts of
the city-the business sections, the
theaters, the railway stations and the
water front.
There is enough level ground in
Sunset to provide for all the business
streets that Will be needed. Ninth
avenue has grown to considerable i'm
portance. There is quite a good show
ing of business places in II street The
business part of l street at present
extends from Seventh to Twelfth ave-
nue.. The business on Ninth avenue
now extends from II to X streets.
There is a new business section in
Twentieth avenue which has just be-
gun That IS due to the running of
the electric road along that avenue out
toward Ingleside and Parkside.
At the same time there is enough of
elevation to give scenic homesites to
thousands The cost of improving our
streets is relatively. small because it
is so easy to move the sand. sewer
system will be constructed in II street.
beginning at Twentieth avenue and
running out to Forty-seventh avenue
The intention is to tunnel under the
park at Fcrty-seventh avenue so that
the sewage may be led out to the
Golden gate and SO be carried out to
sea by the current of water that runs
through the gate.
These facts concerning Sunset dis
trict ought to be generally known.
When they are known and are gener-
ally understood there will be strong
movement in this direction.

cross-examination of Moe late this even
Ing was suspended.
It was announced tonight by James
W. Osborne. counsel for Conger. that
Senator Bonn Couser would be the prin-
cipaI witness tomorrow. The cross-ex-
animation Of Senator Conger win DO con-
Quoted by Lewis Il Carr.
Hiram Gardner Moe told to-day how
he had been continuously reelected dea-
con and trustee Of his church at Groton
for a period Of twenty years. He also re-
lated his election TO the Office OF village
treasurer Of Groton for seven or eight
terms as another evidence OF hts stand
ing among the folk at home.
Moe Tells Of Loans.
The feature OF Noes testimony to-day
was hts narration of loans be had from
the Conger banks. aggregating between
$500 and $1,000 and which eliminated
in the Congers individually having title
10 every piece Of property that Moe ever
owned Moe did not hesitate TO tell how
he negotiated his own check for $3.50
with the bank OF which he was cashier
with no security.
Senator Aids counsel looked at each
other in wondermeHt this afternoon.
when, through a casual reference 70 the
8, 500 check drawn In the name OF Frank
Conger by II. G. Moe. as secretary. upon
the First National Bank OF Groton for
the purpose OF getting the bribery fund,
il was discovered that the check had been
honored by the Groton bank without the
Endorsement OF Moe or Frank COnger.
On the eross-examination Moe said that
last night he and one Of Senator Con-
gers attorneys inspected the assembly
chamber TO get the sense Of the location

where the Doodle money was put into the

Counsel for Aids indicated openly that
the names OF the two other assemblymen,

questioned Moe at length upon just how

envelope containing the 8. 600
Mr.. Bittleton then asked Moe II he could
recall the names he wrote on the other
two envelopes Moe said he wasn't posi-
tive; he felt sure about one. Mr. Little
ton reminded the witness that FOR the
present ne would not press him for
these names.
The prevailing opinion IS that the veil
/. Of secrecy hanging over the two men as
ISOLATED with Aids in the alleged bribery

every detail in connection with that tran
saction laid bare. This cannot be avoided.
