14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1895. LEASE OF CHINA BASIN. The Final Report of the Com- mittee Will Be Pre- sented To-day. MR. SUTRO IN OPPOSITION. His Amendment Voted Down—He Fears the Southern Paclific. The committee appointed by the Harbor Commissioners to draft the lease for the China Basin to the n Francisco and San Joaquin Railway Company finished its Jabors yesterday, and to-day the board, Governor Budd and Mayor Sutro will prob- ably ratify or reject the work. The report of the committee will not be signed by the Mayor, and he will oppose its acceptance by the Board of Harbor Commissioners. The meeting held yesterday in Attorney Stratton’s office was a very warm one, Mr. Sutro had two amendments which he de- sired incorporated in the lease and the dis- cussion of them provoked a heated debate, which resulted in their being voted down. At the meeting there were present Mayor Sutro, President Colnon and Commissioner Chadbourne of the board; AttorneysFord, Preston, Stratton and J. T. Rogers. Preston represented the road and Rogers the Mayor. Commissioner Cole’s amendfnent mak- ing 1t bir on the lessee th complete 100 miles of the road in five years and tap the bay at some point we E nsidered. The only objection to the amenament was raised by President Colnon, who did not think the last clause necessary. Mr. Col- non probably had the interests of Stockton in view w nen hes but as the rest of the committee strongly favored the clause, and Attorney Preston assented, the objec- tion was withdrawn. Then came the presentation of Mr. Sutro’s amendments. The first reads as folrow: Itis agreed tha ghall abridge the ¢ g herein contafned 1tof the State of Califor- nia throngh its proper officers to collect wharf- age, or dockage, or tolls, or_all lawful charges ping or merchandise, or both, at any er, slip or wharf constructed 'at said by the g It is further agreed that neither the lease nor ts_hereinunder shall ever be ublet as a whole or in part.

It is further agreed that should Channel street be widened at any time, and it become necessary that any portion of the premises deseribed in this lease should be used therefor, such portion shall be thereby expressly e empted from the operation of this lease, and that mprovements thereon shall be re- moved from such land so required at its sole cost. 1t is further ext estate here hat may be erected on_si shall ever be mortgaged, v agreed that neither the the improvements demised premises hecated, incum- y extent charged and except such tax v the National, State and any attempt hypothecate or In ANy manner in- e said estate hereby granted or the premises herein aescribed or the improvements thereon shall at once work a forfeiture of all rignts hereunder, and_entitle the said parties of the first part or their sucecessors to re-enter the seid premises and determine the estate hereby granted. This is the original amendment which was proposed by the Mayor at the first meet- ing of the Board of Harbor Commission- ers, at which were present the Governor, Butro, J. D. Spreckels and others. At- torney Preston then bjected to the amendment, claiming that it gave no privi- leges to the road at all, and under its pro- wvisions ga peanut-stand could not be sub- Jet. Atthat meeting the amendment was referred to the committee, and at the meeting of - the Harbor Commissioners on Jast Saturday the Mayor complained that it had not been incorporated 1n the lease. Attorney Stratton at that time remon- strated with his Honor, calling attention tothe fact that the spirit of the amend- ment was in the lease and that the language fully covered the ground. Yesterday morning Mayor Sutro offered a second amendment, which he claimed overcame the objections of Attorney Pres- ton. In the amendment were enumerated all the privileges to which the road was entitled. This did not satisfy Mr. Preston at all. He said that the clause in the lease as it stood at present sufficiently covered the ground. “There has been considerable time lost in the consideration of this lease,” said Mr. Preston, “and the directors of the road are at a lo o understand what is being done. We would like to have the matter closed up. “I have been trying to get away to the country for a month.’’ retorted the Mayor with some acerbity, ‘‘but the consideration of this lease has prevented my doing so.” This brought Mr. Stratton to the front with a sharp remonstrance. “Mayor Sutro,” said he, “you are the only one who has delayed the proceedings. After the meeting in the Harbor Commis- sioners’ office it was understood by the pcommittee that all amendments were to bein by a week ago last Monday. You did not act in the matter until we met on the following Wednesday, and then the amendment which you had first proposed had been considered and incorporated, xlriglned of its verbiage.” ‘“Yes, that is so,” assented the Mayor, “T must apologize for my remissness, but 1 have been very busy with the cares of my office. 1 do not want to appear as throwing any obstacle in the way of the competing road, but I want the road to be a competing one in the strictest sense of the term. Ido not want to see the South- ern Pacific come in and absorb the road.” Mr. Rogers entered into a long ex- planation of Mayor Sutro’'s ideas. He said that the substitute for the amendment which had been put in the lease did not afford sufficient protection to the public. The Mayor, he said, wanted to prevent a ol or. a combine with the monopoly of he Pacific Coast, and too strong a clause could not be_inserted in the lease. Attorney Preston burst in impatiently at the conclusion of the remarksof Rogers, saying: “What do you mean bya competin road? Do you want us to compete wizfi the roads of the world? Why, if these provisions were incorporated in the lease the road could never be nlaced on a paying basis. We could not sell any stock. We could not form a combination with any transcontinental line, for as soon as we did we would forfeit our lease. The people would be protected, but where would be the protection to the road? Gentlemen, we have wasted too much time on this matter already and I cannot make any further report to the directors unless the business is finished.”’ _“I think that the lease as it stands suffi- ciently protects the interests of the peo- ple,” said President Colnon, “and I am not in favor of changing it.”” Attorneys Ford and Stratton expressed themselves as sharing in this belief. “There is no use of my saying anything further,” said Mayor Sutro, resignedly. “The committee is against me, and I can do nothing.” “You must remember, Mayor,” said At- torney Stratton,’”” that there are two mem- bers of this committee, Mr. Ford and my- self, who have no voice in the action of the Commissioners on the report. You have a vote in the board and can there express yourself. -You need not sign the report or the lease either if you are not so-inclined.” That is so0,” said the Mayor, “I will wait. I certainly shall not sign the re- port, and I will insist upon my amend- ments being heard at the meeting of the board.” The meeting adjourned, and the whole matter will be again gone over this morning before the Harbor Commission- ers, the attorneys, Mayor and Governor. E. F. Preston, attorney for the Valley Railroad, was ef the opinion that Mayor Sutro was not opposed to the leasing of China Basin for terminal facilities to the competing railroad. On the contrary, he is inclined to believe that Sutro’s motives, although prompted by unreasonable fears or suppositions, are honest enough, inas- much as it isapparently the Mayor’s hobby that no possible chance of a transfer of China Basin to the Southern Pacific Com- pany may be left open. ot “Sutro is not in an attitude of opposition to the granting of China Basin as a termi- nus for the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway,” said Attorney Preston. “He ‘would be hurt if we thought that he was opposed toit. Hisidea is substantially that thereshould be every safeguard around | ase of China Basin, so as to prevent a | ible divergence of the fand from the | the 1 po! uses for which it was originally intended. “I think that limitations ‘in the lease give that protection and that Sutro’s pro- posed amendments are too drastic. The effect of his amendments on_the financial status of the company should it ever go into the market with” a bond issue would be very bad. This enterprise goes into the millions, and it is a question which de- serves very careful consideration. “Mr. Sutro has amendments which we could not possibly provide for. We had a covenant in the lease providing that China Basin should never be used except for ter- minal purposes. There is also a proviso in the original Jease which would make it impossible to transfer the land to any other corporation for terminal or other purposes, and it was furthermore ex- pressly stated that the lease shall become void ifany transfer was made. With re- gard to the Southern Pacific it was pro- vided that the property should never pass into the handsof any railroad company having terminal facilities on the bay of San Francisco.” MADE. HEAV DISCOUNTS in the Big Cut Announced Cost of Electric Light. How the Edison Light and Power Company Is Able to Make Uu~ expected Reductions. A new schedule of discounts for users of incandescent current in arc lamps has just been announced by the Edison Light and Power Company. The cut rates go into effect to-day and range from 5 to 35 per cent, according to the amount of current consumed. Hitherto the discounts have been confined to two—20 per cent on a con- sumption of from 50,000 to 70,000 watts, and 25 per cent for current ranging in amount from 70,000 to 90,000 Watts. It is a year ago since the experiment was first made of lighting arc lamps with incandescent current in this City. The usual method of using the arc lamps had several disadvantages among them, the facts that the light was not subject to the control of the user, and that they had to be turned on and off according to the con- tract with the consumer, whether the lamps were needed or not. The only ob- jection to the new method, that of using ificandescent current, was the additional cost to the company supplying the light. This was due to the need of a much higher grade of carbon for the lamps and the fact that unless the engines could be run so as to keep the underground system fully charged they would be running at a_loss. In view of the fact that the increased out- put reduced the average costof production, every effort was made to increase the uni- form use of the light. In this the comple- tion of the underground conduit system was a great aid, as, though much more costly than the overhead system to estab- lish, it is productive of more economic re- sults. So well has the company been able to put into general use the new style of lamps that it is now able to make announcement of discounts, which it was not thought would be possible for two or three vears at least, The users of the lamps are gainers in other ways, for they have at all times complete control of the amount of current they use, they have a fine light and have it only when they actually need it, not be- ing tied down to any set hours. The first experiment with the lamps was made in the Occidental Hotel, which in parts is one of the best lighted hotels on the Pacific Coast. Since then the lamps have come into very general use; thus J:e big store on Market, Taylor and Golden Gate avenue known as ‘“The Maze” uses no less than thirty of these lamps, Will & Finck in the Phelan block use twenty-two lamps, Eugene G. Davis’ bazaar uses eight lamps, and such establishments as the White House, Raphael’s Incorporated, Roos Brothers, The Hub Clothing Store, the Chicago Clothing Company and the Grand Hotel bar are large and constant users of the new lamps. SPARF ACQUITTED. The Circuit Court Decides That He Did Not Take Part in the Hesper Murder. Herman Sparf, one of the Hesper sailors accused of the crime of murdering Mate Fitzgerald, was yesterday found not guilty by the jury in the Unitea States Circuit Court. Fitzgerald was killed during a trip of the bark Hesper from Sydney to Honolulu about & year and a half ago, and Herman Sparf, Hans Hansen, Thomas 8t. Clair and Henry Green were brought to this port and charged with mutiny and murder. Green turned State’s evidence, and nnder his testimony the other three men were found guilty. T he cases were appealed to the United States Supreme Court, and, with the exception of that of 8t. Clair, were sent back for retrial. Upon the first ballot the jury stood nine for acquittal and three for ‘conviction. A second ballot changed the vote to a unani- mous verdict for acquittal. - e THERE is an article on this market seldom equaled and never excelled—Jesse Moore Whis- ky.

A little cloud “no bizger than a man’s hand’’ hangs over the University of Cali- fornia. The cloud is little now, but the men of wisdom who guide the course of the institution of learning at Berkeley be- lieve that it will ere long overspread the heavens and discharge a torrent of wrath upon the heads of those who are responsi- ble for its existence. The students of the university publish an annual called “Blue and Gold,” which contains rosters of the faculty, the schol- ars, the fraternities and clubs and so- cieties connected with the institution. Blue and Gold also contains a choice collection of flings at professors and un- dergraduates, and jokes more or less grad- R. R. Russ, Managing Editor of Blue and Gold. uatorial at their expense. And it is on ac- count of these jibes and jokes that the lit- tle cloud has come forth. Two members of the faculty, it appears, have realized that there is truth in the divine declaration, ‘It is not well for man to be alone,” and are laboring earnestly and ardently to better their condition. It also appears that they have been rewarded with a measure of success and are engaged to marry the ladies of their choice. The Blue and Gold writers made merry at the expense of the two professors, made allusion to their loye-making, and lam- pooned the grave and reserved president. When the annual appeared the instruc- tors who had suffered at the hands of the editors made no secret of their anger, and now it is said Raymond J. Russ, chief editor of Blue and Gold, and some of his assistants will be punished for their of- fenses. The faculty may suspend or expel them, and, what is perhaps a more serious matter, they may be prosecuted for libel. Following is the chapter from Blue and Gold that caused the trouble: A FACULTY MEETING. (As reported by a student.) Scene—The president’s room.

President—The rest have all sent their ex- cuses, so there's no need of our spending more time on that. We will proceed to the discus- sion of dogs, which was left over from our last meeting. “Allow me to say a few words. The dogs bave been so numerous and are becoming o troublesome about eollege lately that it is posi- tively necessary that something be done im- mediately. You know that there are faculty dogs, fraternity dogs, student dogs and stray dogs.

A motion is {n order” (Everybody scared.) Dr. Richardson (boldly)—1 move that we make it a rule that from this time forth all dogs be excluded from the classroom. Dr. Plehn—Isn’'t that a little rigid? It is easy to propose it when one hasn't a dog of his own. Professor Paget—I weesh to make a second to that motion—it pleases me much.
