In caling | the meeting to order Chairman T. B. Slevin stated that there would b> no de- decision rendered, but that the exponents | of both sides would simply advance their | arguments for and against the question. | He then introduced Frank H. Gould, the | first speaker for the affirmative. After | pointing cut the great possibllities of | | San Francisco Mr. Gould sald: | ‘“The plain proposition befors us is whether we propose, for a reasonable | amount, to beautify this city and make it | second to none in the world.

He sald: “The argument that paving of streets is more important than the acquisition of the panhardle will be settied when tne Board of Fublic Works, to be appoint- ed by the Mayor, will inaugurate a sys- tem that will benefit each district of the city. The charge that it would be impossi- ble to suddenly get the necessary numover of laborers to do the work is not true, be- cause the work of acquiring the property | will be gradual and take years, during | which the city will derive a”.arge mcome | therefrom.” When Max Popper began his argument against the panhandle, Mayor Phelan en- | tered the hall and was given three rousing | cheers proposed by Popper. In his speech Mr. Popper said: claim that it is unjust to assess the outside landholder for parks that are so far away from his holdings. It is prophesied that the panhandle can be | bulit for a certain amount, but how do -these prophets know this? The owner may ask to submit the sale of his prop- erty to arbitration and in other ways_ the | Cost may be considerably increased. It is said that 80 per cent of the owners are in | favor of the panhandle, but it is because they have been liberally treated In the value placed on their property. It is pro- posed to assess the whole city, and yet when the Mission road was opened only the section immediately interested was taxed. Is this just or equitable? 1 am an 4 : necessities, I believe in ital and best school - vy, but I also believe d 1 don’t belleve | that the city that negl to pay its em- ployes can afford to induige in a luxury." Mayor Phelan’s argument was devoted to the ornamental and healthful results to be obtained by the panhandle, and the increased value In the property acquired. “This is not a local matter,” said h lemon RAPHAEL.

Barry was the last speaker, and, referring to a witticism of the Mayor that a ‘“pan” was no good without a “handle,” said: “But we don't want an unwieldy handle one mile and a half long. They say that the panhandle would beau- tify the city, but it can be beautified in other and better ways. It is not right to call the bond elections at this time, for we are still governed by tife consolidation act and the election might have decently been postponed at least eight days after the charter goes into effect. Only those di- rectly benefited by the panhandle should pay for it. “The project will bring many unem- Bloyud here, as did the Midwinter Fair. 0 not be misled. Vote for schools, sewers. and hnsf‘l!a‘l. but do not vote for the panhandle. Mayor Phelan closed the debate by stating that the reason the elections wers being held this month is that the charter contains no provision regarding the pur- chase of land for public u - At that at the end of twenty years the city would own the valuable “property in- tended for a panhandle and be free from debt, and that every man engaged in le- gitimate toll would profit thereby.® He concluded by urging his hearers to direct their energies to the progressive move- ment that destined to result in a new an Franci b At the m Ing of the Socfalists n Union-square Hall last evening = Charles Gildea spoke on the subject of bonds for the park extension and other municipal improvement He declared the city had been long enough under the rule silurians. He believed the bond would be of inestimable benefit, for under the improvements they would make pos- ible real tate values would rise and the city would be much more prosperous generally.

John- son, P. Pegnam, J. Hunter, James F rell, Lem Hale and J. J. Sulllvan were ap pointed to form a campaign committee. The club also passed a unanimous vote favoring the municipal ownership of the water works.

Ira Ford’s Mysterious Assailant Can- not Be Found by the Police. Ira Ford, who was shot by a mysterious individual at 907 Bryant street Saturday night, was transferred from the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning to the City The bullet entered Rhis right cheek and came out at the angls of the jaw, inflicting a flesh wound that is not regarded as serious. Mrs. Josephs, the woman who was entertaining Ford at the time of the shooting, is detained at the City Prison as a witness. The affair is involved in considerable mystery, and Detectiv who was detalled by the case, has thus far been unabla to dis cover a tangible clew to the identity of the shooter. He is satisfied, however, that Ford knows the man who snot him, and there is a strong suspicion that Mrs. Josephs could tell his name if she felt so inclined. She admits that Ford probably knows the name of his asailant. Mrs. Swanson, who lives at %7 Bryant street, and Mrs. Henrletta Liedmaa, who witnessed the shooting, describe the mys- terious stranger as a man about 2 years old. Alexander Malin saw the man run- ning out of the house after firing the shot. Minnie Hughes, or Pilster, was in_the room with Ford and Mrs. Josephs a short time before the shooting, but the police cannot find her. Ford came from Los Angeles, where he left a wife and family, several months ago. —_———— Calendars for 1800. “California Violets,” “Golden Popples” and “California Wild Flowers"” are the most popular calendars for 1%09; price, &0 cents each.

Telephone License Ordinance to Be Considered by Supervi ors. City and County Attorney Lane has so far recovered from his sudden fllness that he will to-day present to the Board of Su- pervisors his opinion upon the telephone license resolutions. What will be the text of his communication Mr. Lane de- clines to say. Because of the confident boasts of the agents of the monopoly it | was feared for a time that they had final- 1y so arranged matters that the telephone resolutions would either be declared bad law or would escape enactment because | of_the time limit. Mr. Lane’s sudden {llness at such a critical time enhanced the worry of those members of the board who were Instru- mental in {ntroducing the resolution, as it was feared he would not recover In time to submit the necessary opinions. Yester- day, however, he announced that they would be forthcoming this afternoon. ——— e~ See yesterday's Chronicle for fllustrated song from new book, ‘“Wee, Wee Songs for Little Tots.” . e e An Engineer Injured.

Lowri was ar- rested on a charge of battery and later admitted to bail. Holland alleges his in- juries were due to Lowrl's carelessness. —_—— Best place to get your glove orders s at the Factory, 121 Grant ave. Danicheff and Fedora. ® —_——— Fractured His Leg.
