HOWTO GET A FRANCHISE, Methods of the Market-Street Company to Secure Point Lobos Avenue. PARK COMMISSIONERS ASSENT. A Fifty-Year Lease of a Valuable Thoroughfare Given Without Recompense. On the morning of July 8 the people of the Richmond District were astonished to see a force of nearly 100 men tearing up Point Lobos avenue between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues. Inquiry developed the fact that the Market-street Cable Com- pany was preparing to build an electric line from First avenue out Point Lobos road to the ocean. Just why they should have commenced work at Twelith avenue no one was able to learn then or since, though the theory has been advanced that the railroad people hoped to get under good headway before their purpose was fully understood. On the morning following the advent of these hundred workmen THE CALL gave notice that the Southern Pacific had no rights oo Point Lobos avenue, because the conditions of the franchise granted them June 3, 1892, had not been complied with, consequently they were trespassers of the most violent order. It was another Church- street steal pure and simple, and that was all there was to it. That very same day the gang of 100 men was reduced to less than fifty, though the biggest surprise of all was to follow. On the third morning there were just enough men at work to load and unload some four or five carts. These men were busy coverinz up the work of the two previous days, and when right came Point Lobos road, between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, was as smooth and as level as any part of the great ocean thoroughfare. TuE CALL's expose of the Southern Pa- cific’s scheme thwarted it for the moment, though the company immediately pro- ceeded to place itself on the right side of | the legal fence. It applied to the Park | Commissioners for a new franchise on Point Lobos avenue, and got it. In order to get a clearer appreciation of the tactics pursued by the corporation and its appar- ent “pull” and its ability to get any- thing it wants it is necessary to delve a little in ancient history. In 1877 the City purchased from the San Francisco and Point Lobos Road Company the thoroughfare known as Point Lobos avenue, One year later it was committed to the charge of the Park Commissioners, The Ocean Beach Railway Company held a franchise over the road at the time, though it was allowed to lapse. In 1892 this company, which was later absorbed by the Market-strect corporation, secured another franchise along the same terri- tory. It agreed to spend $10,000 during the first twelve months, and to complete the entire road within three years, Itcom- plied with none of the conditions, for three years and thirty-five aays elapsed before a jot of work was done on the road. The railroad people realized that the franchise was worthless in part, if not in | whole, for in February last they asked the | Board of Supervisors for an extension of twelve months, which was readily granted, Extensions are common things nowadays, but it is a little out of the order of things to grant this courtesy on a franchise that had been forfeited months before. The Market-street Company never thought it necessary to secure the consent of the Park Comumissioners to build the electric line on Point “ Lohos avenue, though this was one of the conditions of the forfeited franchise. It was not until THe CALL exposed the lawless work attempted by this compan: that the Commissioners thought it wort their while to look into the matter. They found that the franchise, according to Mr. Lynch, did not expire until September next, and that while they had not given their consent to the’ construction of the road they were perfectly willing to do so. The Park Commissioners did not at that the ballot appeared to have been the pur- chaser who made the first guess, either exact or neareet to the amoun E The ballots fiiled two large boxes, and it took three men two hours and forty min- utes to examine them. There were guesses ranging all the way from the exact sum to $1500, and more than 200 of the guessers were within a few cents of the amount. There were twelve who guessed §77, and the committee decided %haz the lucky guesser was George Daley of 1619} How- ard street. e INDORSED DAVIDSON. The Technical Society in Regular Meeting Passed Resolutions. At the regular monthly meeting for August of the Technical Society of the Pa- cific Coast, held in rooms 56 and 57, Acad- emy of Sciences builaing, 819 Market street, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved by the Technical Society of the Pa- cific Coast, That the jsociety views with much concern n apparent tendency to curtail the work of purely seientific bureaus of the Goy- ernment, or to transfer it todepartments where olitical and personal influence will be sure to impair the famous records of such bureaus. esolved, That this society, seeing additional evidence of «his tendency in the removal of Professor George Davidson from the head of the Pacific Coast division of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, expresses regret that he should have been removed without ap- E-remcaune after a life service of the most rilliant character. g He has, by years of effictent and distinguished service, shown upusual devotion to scientific work, and his labors have been a credit not only to the bureau with which he has been connected for nearly half a century, but they entitle him to the lasting gratitude of this Nation, and particularly of the residents of this Coast, with whose interests he has 8o long been identified. This society further desires to expressthe hope that Professor Davidson in_the vigor 6f his mature years, may yet find abundant op- portunity for satisfactorily utilizing his profes- sional and scientific attainments, JOHN RICHARDS, OTTO VON GELDERN, C.

The Hendy will contest is to be settled on the basis of the agreement reached by the heirs several weeks ago, and yesterday the final action in the matter was begun in the Supreme Court. A motion was made by the attorneys for S. J. Hendy to dismiss the appeals thatare pending, and when this motion is granted the liggation over the property will be at an end. AN EXHIBIT FOR ATLANTA, California’s Products to Be Well Placed at the Big Fair. A Contract for Space in the Liberal Arts Bullding Has Been Accepted. The California exhibit to the Atlanta Exposition will be placed in one of the best positions on the grounds, in the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. Yesterday Secretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade received the contract for the space and location. The position will bein a prominent corner of the building, to the right of the main entrance and 3222 square feet have been allowed. There be 215 running feet of wall for arranging the exhibifs in an artistic and attractive manner, The location and wall space will be much better than if a larger area were allowed in an open space in the big hall. Secretary Filcher saysthat he is better satistied than if the space first promised in the Agricultural Building had been ob- tained. He expects that by Wednesday the county boards of Superyisors in the State will have appropriated the money which they have subscribed, and then the executive committee will go ahead and make contracts for packing and shipping the exhibit to Atlanta. There has been considerable talk about the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce MANUFACTURES AND LIBERAL LANTA EXPOSITION. ARTS BUILDING AT THE AT- THE CROSS MARKS WHERE THE CALI- FORNIA EXHIBIT WILL BE PLACED. [From the architect's design.] time, nor, to all appearance, have they since learned, that the $10,000 clause had been willfully violated by the company. In spite of the attempted steal, which the Commissioners let pass without so much as a reprimand, they granted to the Market-street Railroad Company, on July 18, a franchise authorizing that corpora- tion to construct an electric line along Point Lobos avenue and the Chff House road to the beach. This action of the Park Commissioners is at least open to comment if nothin, more. ~ Park Commissioner Rcsenielfi has heretofore claimed that all franchises over property under the control of the Park Lommissioners must fizst be secured from the Board of Supervisors, subject to the Commissioners’ acceptance on rejec- tion. The franchise just issued by Messrs, Scott, Austin and Rosenfeld can hardly be a ratification of the one granted by the Supervisors three years ago, for that has long ceased to be legal. However, it is not out of order to ask the Commissioners whether this franchise is intended to concur with the onejssued by the Supervisors three years ago, and if so why they allowed the railroad to quietiy go abead with their work before they had obtained it? Again, if this franchise jakes precedence over all others, upon what au- thority did the Market-street Cable Com- Funy tear up one of the main thorough- ares of the City ? THAT BARREL OF MONEY. George Daley Guessed How Much Money the Raphaels Had . Put Into It. The little glass barrel that was filled with nickels and other coins, which had been in ashow-window of Raphael’s clothing-house on Kearny street since half-past 8 on the night of the 3d of last July, was opened. last evening by a committee of represent- atives of the press, and was found to con- tain $77. Each patron of the house had been given with each purchase an opportunity to guess how much money there was in the barrel, each guess being written on a specially prepared blank on which the purchaser recorded his name, address, date and hour of the guess and the kind of bicycle he preferred, for the house offered the choice of a first-class “‘bike” to the one making the closest guess, The rule for decision was that in case there were two or more enterprise in a-ranging fora special Los Angeles exhibit at the Fair, but from*ll accounts nothing of importance has been done. This is manifest by inquiries from Frank Wiggins, the superintendent of the Chamber of Commerce, who wrote to Mr. Filcher, asking what the Board of Trade here is doing. The inquiry implies that the Los Angeles people are de- sirous of going in witb the main California exhibit and help in making a creditable State instead of a local exhibit, Mr. Filcher in his answer said: . My thought has been if your chamber does t propose to make an exhibiton its own ac- count in Mrs. Dooley’s building, for instance, that it would be & good idea to have you ar- range to send all the good material you can spare from your exhibit and combine’it with ours and thus add to the effect of what we are ambitious to make, viz.,a good display for California. Itcould be put up asa section of the whole. The only question would be the ‘want of space and the consequent necessity for excessive crowding, However, my impression is that an exhibit loses but little of its effect. iveness by bemq crowded, provided ihe & rangement is well designed. — e COAST GETS IT ALL. At Last a Circus Comes Over the Roek- ies Without First Dividing. The biggest circus that ever came to the Pa- cific Coast is the Great Wallace Shows, now being billed and advertised fora ten days’ sgason in San Francisco. This is the first big show to come to the coast in its entirety. Other big shows have, in name, been this side of the Rocky Mount 8, but this is the first time & great one has come without first cut- ting down its equipment, and also the first time & big show has come without doubling the price of admission for the benefit of the coast people. The Wallace show comes with aT11ts ek Fings, two slovated stages, halfiiy race track and colossal menagerie, and the ad- mission is the same asin the East—50 cents. The Wallace show is most highly spoken of everywhere it has exhibited. Denver is one of the cities it has captured, for the Times of that city says in its issue of .vm&u of this year: “The Wallce Circus is decidedly satisfying in an amusement sense. A completely equipped menagerie, new tents, new animal cages and well-cared-for livestock adds to its attract- iveness. The show carries 800 horses and has a force of 800 people. The main tent, with a seating capacity of nearly 12,000, is one of the Jargest tents ever brought here for a circus.” Address for Young Men.

IT BELONGS TO THE TRUST. The First Will Quoted to Sustain Thaose Chosen to Manage the Property. The answer of defendants Thomas G. Crothers, James Angus and Louis C. Bresse to the suit of Charles L. Fair for the control of certain parcels of land left by his deceased father was completed by their attorneys, Pierson and Mitchell, yes- terday. A clause of the will debarred any heir who contested the will frem any of the property leit by the deceased, and the suit was begun to test the strength of the trust in the bands of which the estate was left without calling into question the will itself. s : The answer opens with the following paragraph : These defendants hereby disclaim any and all estate, right, title or interest as individu: inorto the property described in plainti corplaint, or any part or portion thereof. The answer th@ goes on to state that the estate is worth $12,000,000, and enumer- rates the heirs to whom it is left by the first will filed for probate, which is the will creating the trust and the one recog- nized by the answering defendants. The answer then quotes the will, relying on the fifteenth section, which reads as foliows: A1l the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, property and effects, real, personal and mixed, whatsover and wheresoever situated, I ive, devise and bequeath unto my trustees Rereinafier named, and to the survivors of them and to their suceessors in office in trust for the following uses and purposes,that is to s f 0 have and hold the same iA trust during the lives of my daughters, Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair, and my son, Charies L. Fair, and during the life of the survivor of them, ete. The answer concludes by saying that by reason of the trust it is denied that Charles L. Fair, Theresa A. Oelrichs or Virginia Fair are the owners of the lands described in the complaint or any part of the same. FAIR'S HORSES SOLD. Twenty-Five Animals Belonging to the Estate Disposed of by Auction. Twenty-five horses that belonged to the late Senator Fair were sold at the sales- yard of Killip & Co., on the corner of Market street and Van Ness ayenue, last Thursday afternoon. The sale was by the order of the executors of the estate and preliminary to sales of the remaining stock in the fall. Choicely bred trotters, road- sters, broodmares, colts and fillies were in- cluded in the list of animals disposed of. It was the purpose of Senator Fair to bring together one of the best collections of fine horses in California, and with this purpose in view he collected something aver 800 horses on the ranch at Lakeville, in Scnoma County. Most of those in- cluded in the sale were bred by him on this ranch. The largest animal was the sum of $250 brood mare Emma_ Abbott. aid were: Virginia Fasto, $92 50; Illus- rato, $160: Polly Perkins, $3250; James F, $7250: Lord Fasto, $80; Dinah, $102, and a double team, Maud and Sadie, $205.
