CITY sues TO end
i. R. FRANCHISES
Court Asked to Declare That
Trolley Company Has No
Rights in Geary Street
Complaints AIIege That Grants
Were Forfeited by Nonuser
Years Ago

me assertion of the United Rail-
roads that it owns franchises en-
utling it to operate a railroad in Geary
street from Taylor to Kearny was at
tackled yesterday in two suits begun
hy the city attorney pursuant to in
strucuons from the board of supervis-
ors The unused and ancient fran
cnlses were drawn forth recently to
bolster the fight Of the United Rail-
roads against the city's decision to
build a municipal line in Geary street
One Of the chief allegations in the
suit by which Horace Platt unsuccess-
fully attempted 10 enJoin the city from
selling street railroad bonds was that
the United Railroads owned these
franchises and that therefore it would
be impossible for the city to use its
own street. The city contended that
the franchises had ben forfeited bv
nonuser, bat the corporation argued
that its predecessors in ownership had
given the Geary street company pep
mission 10 operate cars on the five
blocks in dispute years ago and that
this was equivalent 10 user by the
f-lted Railroads.
'F0RFEITURE AND FINE ASKED
TO determine whether such vicarious
usage is sufficient to keep the fran
chises alive, the actions were begun
teSteroay. The city attorney asks the
superior court TO adjudge them for
feited and 10 impose a fine of $1,000
upon the United Railroads.
The United Railroads claims the
right 10 operate over the three blocks
from Stockton 10 Taylor under a fran
chise granted November u, 1879, to
the Central railway company of San
Francisco. 1t was subsequently trans
ferred TO the Market street railroad
company and, March Il, 1902. by
the Market street company to the
nited Railroads. A monopoly over
the remaining two blocks, from Stock
ton TO Kearny, is claimed under a
franchise granted November IA, 1879,
10 the North Beach and Mission rail-
road company and transferred through
the Market street railway company TO
The United Railroads.
ABANDONMENT ALLEGED
But the city's complaints alIege that
the Market street railway company
abandoned its right to operate a rail-
road in Geary street and therefore it
could not transfer it TO the United
Railroads.
BY a resolution of the board of su-
pervisors certain tracks used in con-
nectiOn with the two franchises were
ordered removed March %, 1897. the
Market street railway company having
abandoned them. These were the
tracks in Stockton street between Ellis
and Geary and from Geary to Post
streets, and their abandonment indi-
Gated also the abandonment of the
Geary street rights.

TO LANIER's OAK.

Elsewhere In, these columns this
morning will be found a poem from
the gifted pen of H. e. Harmon, OF
Atlanta, who is very rapidly develop
ing into one of the really sweet sing
ers of Dixie and whose work Is char
acterized by an individuality both
polished and refined. This poem will
be of more than passing local interest
for the reason that the writer finds
his subject in Lanier,s famous oak
located in Brunswick, beneath which
the immortal Sidney Lanier found the
inspiration that gave to the world that
poetical gem. The Marshes Of Glynn.."
Mr. Harmon visited In Brunswick
some time since and very naturally
he sought the spot now famous as
the scene CT. the masterpiece of the
author Of The Marshes of Glynn" and
with true kinship that real art feels
and knows, he too. was inspired and
that inspiration finds expression in
the exquisite fines To Lanier's Oak,
for the first time reduced to print in
The News this morning.
There must indeed be son thing,
some indescribabIe spirit that kindles
the refining fires of the poetic soul,
in this hallowed spot, which first
caught and held Lanier until his pen,
touched with its spark, lit the ami
verse with it's golden hues and again
years after, should move the gifted
Harmon to find hidden away in the
recesses of his being wealth of
rhythm, as rich in melody as it is
glorious in expression!
Indeed as Mr.. Harmon sweetIy
sings:
What pictures from your welcome

Rose up before his poets flashing
eye,
What golden splendors lifted there

His faithful marsh and star be-gloried

WHERE POOR MAN GETS a RAP.

Mr.. Brokaw has won her suit
against her husband. with comforta-
BILE alimony, and added another to
the precedents, now becoming alarm
ingly numerous, that the man Is re-
sponsible In chief for marriage and
must stand the shot. 1t almost be-
gins to seem that the rule Is to stick
the husband because he has the
money and 1t Is good policy to divide
1t. While this may seem a sort of
rough and ready justice, still 1t would
not be wholly judicious to entirely
absolve the woman from any share
Of the responsibility for the original
mistake. In this particular case the
evidence tended to show that the
Brokaws were pretty well matched
except that he was a Jealous sort of
brute.
But on the other hand the woman
doubtless knew it and took the
chances. The present tendency is to
cause women to feel that they can
take the risk of making an unsuitable
match with their eyes open and then
fall back on the divorce court to
make it good for them. Now, If 1t
were matter of purchase of com
modify she would have a remedy at
law if she could show that she had
been deceived in the premises, but in
divorce she does not have to show
anything but that she is unhappy in
the married state-which we main
tain is placing too much of the bur-
den of mistakes upon mere man.

Catarrh of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
KIN Difficult to Relieve.
\ PROMPT AND EFFIClENT REMEDY.,

II the truth were known, the proos-
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh OF the stomach
ss any other popular remedy In exis-
tence. We have o great many unsoiic-
tied testimonials from all parts OF the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruns has en-
tirely relieved them of cataxrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness. go
These are the facts. Now, II you have
stomach difficulty, 1t Is up to You to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms Of Stomach Catarrh.
'"rhe affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use Of alcohol. The ex'
cessive use Of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
GAS chronic gastritis (catarrh Of the
stomach) is essentially q secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles habby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.

Spain is not common. When present

THE WESTERN g. ATLANTIC TER
MINALS.

The terminals of the Western & At
lantic railroad in Chattanooga are
right in the very heart of the city.
They block the main business street
of Chattanooga. BY opening the street
through them business property of
the highest character and of the best
renting value in Chattanooga would
at once be developed.
To use such property fer switching
purposes and freight yards is man.
Hesitation Of lack of good Judgment.
The plan devised by Governor Hoke
Smith of buying large switching yards
on the edge of the city of Chattanoo-
ga where the land Is cheap, and of
giving the railroad in that way a
great deal more room and better IA
ciliites for shipping, while at the
same time the central real estate be-,
longing to the state could be con-
verted into high class renting prop
erty. was manifestation of splendid
judgment on his part.
The legislature authorized the pur-
chase Of seventy acres of land for a
little over $4,000, options on which
had been obtained during Governor
Smiths administration Governor
Brown let these options lapse.
1t is hard to find a reason for his
action. The near-beer money,
amounting to 100000, was in. the
treasury and had been turned into
the treasury for general purposes by
the action of the legislature. Part
of this money certainly could have
teen used for the purchase of these
lands.
The governor had a right to borrow
100000 to meet an emergency. He
might have we'll borrowed the $60,0UU
under this power and purchased these
lands.
Why did he fail to use these op.
items? 1t cannot be that he was
moved simply by a feeling of preju
dice on account of the fact that Gov
ernor Smith had recommended the
purchase and had obtained the OPP
tons.
Unless Governor Brown now goes
to work with the treasury full Of
money and obtains these lands for the
state, his course can only be account
ed for upon the theory of lack of
good business judgment
The conservation of the Western
& Atlantic railroad property, and its
protection is a vital matter with the
people of the state of Georgia, and
the purchase of these terminals would
be one very safe way of bringing
about a consummation Of plan de-
| Noutly to be desired.
Governor Brown ought not, for rea
sons we do not like to credit, but
which look obvious to stand in nc
way of such a manifestly good move
| for the state of Georgia.

Trouble Feared From Negroes.

Muskoeee, Ok, Nov. limited
States Marshall Grant recently refus-
ed to swear in special deputies to go
to the polls Tuesday to see that the
negroes voted. Gov. Haskell, in
speech here told the negroes they
would have to read and write to the
satisfaction of the election inspectors
or they could not vote.
Sheriff Wisener has sworn in two
hundred and fifty men as special
deputies to be stationed at the polls
election day to quell any possible
rioting on the part of the negroes
who are refused the ballot on account
of the grandfather clause. Trouble
is feared in some of the precincts
where there is a large negro vote,
but none is anticipated in 1.-THE city.
Negro preachers Sunday urged from
their pulpits that every negro go to
the polls and try to vote, whether
qualified or not.
