After eiving the instructions of the court | erday the jury immediately re- aired to the juryroom and upon the | ballot stood six to six, and re- mained that way until discharged.

Attorney R. B. Mitchell, representing the corporation, says that it is not. Attorney Garret W. McEnerney, representing the Scavengers’ Union, declares that it is. Not only does he so declare, but he gives day and date for all that he has to say on the subject and refuses to qualify his declaration by 80 much as a word. The arguments of the learned attor- neys were presented to the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Super- visors yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the consideration by the commit- tee of the blanket ordinance introduced at | the meeting of the board last Monday at the instance of the owners of the Sani- tary Reduction Works. The proposed | ordinance purports to be an amendment to the existing ordinance compelling householders and others to caus all garbage and refuse of whatever descrip- | tion to be conveyed to the crematory of the Reduction rks and to pay for its destruction by the sanitary methods in vogue there.

GOES ON A REEF| The Kormoran, Ordered to Samoa in a Hurry, Runs to Australia for Repairs. VANCOUVER, B. C., May 19.—The Ger- | man warship Kormoran will not take part in the Samoan difficulties for some time to come. She was ordered in a hurry for Samoa by the German Admir- alty from China. En route she called at Gérman New Guinea, and after leaving there ran clean on Whirlwind reef, plain- ly marked on the chart and known as a dangerous spot to all navigators. For | twenty-four hours the commander was at | | his wits’ ends, but finally had both masts cut away and all her machinery, the steering gear and refrigerator machine | jettisoned. The ship went on March 24 and was hauled off on the 3ist, being high | and dry for six days and nights. Just as | it had been decided to consign a few of | her guns to the deep she was floated. She | is now in Morts' dock, Sydney. In the | dock she ghows the keel completely torn | away and her bottom badly damaged. | Commander Emsman is the sole survivor of the Eibe in the hurricane off Samoa, 1889. He fought the Samoans ten years ago and many of his crew were butch- ered. He says they are the most treach- erous people on the face of the.earth, ol e Waterspout at a Cemetery. UVER, B.

He rehearsed at some length the history of the corporation’ from its inception to the present day, and declared it to be a distinctly modern and clvilizing improvement, which should re- ceive the approval and support of all good citizens not to mention the members of the Board of Supervisors. ‘hen Mr. McEnerney was accorded the privilege of the floor he lost no time in coming to the point. “We claim,” he said, by way of introduction, “that an attempt is being made to steal a franchise that nets the Sanitary Reduction Works the sum of $50,000 a year on an investment of $150,000. The Sanitary Reduction Works is here asking this board to grant it free of charge a privilege that will permit it to- le hute on the people of this city for fifty s to come This was sufficiently startling, but Mr. McEnerney was not done. He repe: that the corporation was attempting to steal a franchise and then went ahead and proved the truth of his assertion. He explained that the question of the valid- ity of the franchise under which the cor- poration is operating is now pending in the United States Circuit Court befor: Judge Morrow; that one of the points upon which the validity of the franchise is attacked is that it makes no provision for the maximum price that may be charged by the corporation for the incin- eration of garbage, the people are at the poration and have not the protection that is guaranteed them by law. “While this question is pending,’ he sald, “‘and before it is determined whether or not the corporation has a franchise, they sneak in here and ask this board -to pass an ordinance r very defect upon which our contention is founded. Should this board pass the pro- posed ordinance and if on the following day Judge Morrow should declare the cor- poration’s franchise invalid, what would be the result? The corporation would laugh in the faces of the citizens, whom they seek to bleed. This proposed ordin- ance would then be their franchise and the hands of the people would be tied. | Their present existence is due to collu- sion between the -attorneys of the cor- poration and the members of the last Board of Supervisors. Now they seek to hoodwink the members of this board and secure themselves in advance against an adverse decision which they have cause to belleve will be rendéred by the courts. . We ask that no action be | taken by the board in this matter until the validi of the corpora- tion’s franchise has been finally passed upon by the courts, or at least that the board will submit the question of the ralidity of the existing ordinance to the City and County Attorney before any action is taken.” 4 & l‘n reply, Mr. Mitchell denied that the revenue of the corporation which he rep- resents is anything like $50,000. He said that all public improvements were subject to adverse criticism, and he asked that the committee be not led away by the eloquence of the learned gentleman who represented the other side. % After some deliberation the committee decided to postpone final action for one week.

Every lot in Glen Park Terrace has a fine sunny exposure and commands a good view of this new and popular resort, Glen Park. It is an admitted fact that all property adjacent to public or private parks en- hances rapidly in value. It is also conceded that no park has ever attained such popularity within the same time as Glen Park. ‘What Woodward's Gardens were to the city years ago so is Glen Park to-day. The attendance at Glen'Park Dewey day was 41,257.
