To give away a streetcar. transfer is consequently in violation of the law, and.the offender, if caught, is subject to punish- ment. - This ‘decision was:handed down yesterday in:the habeas corpus case of Henry Lorenzen. On June 10, 189, the Supervisors passed’the ordinance in‘question, for the purpose of controlling the disposal of transfers by persons other than con- ductors. The ordér made the offensc punishable by ‘@ fine not to exceed $500 or ‘mprisonment in the County Jail not'to exceed :six months, ‘or both. Henry Lorenzen was a passenger,on a Powell street car last June and took a transfer to the Market street line, which he gave to a newsboy. He was detected by Policeman James Cullinane. and - sentenced by Folice Judge Treadwell to pay a fine of $20 or goto jail for twenty days. Loren- zen went to jail. He at once: applied for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted. Argument was made in November: Lorenzen: contended that, in the first place, the transfer was his personal property, and the taking of it from him was in violation of the Federal constitution, which declares that personal property shall not be taken from the owner without due process of law. He further contended that it was not within the jurisdiction of the Supervisors to .pass such a law as’ the transfer ordinance In question. Justice Henshaw, who wrote the prevailing opinion, holds that a streetcar transfer is not personal property, but the evidence of a contract between the passenger and the streetcar companies. -For a passenger to give away the paper slip or transfer Is a violation of the contract, according to the Judge's opinjon. Such a violation is an abuse, which, if it were allowed to become general, would demoralize the transfer system, by which the public is ben- efited. The result would be that the transfer system would either be discon- tinued or such a public nuisance that the injury would be greater than the benefit. Where public benefit and convenience are concerned the Supervisors have the right to establish police regulations. = Hence they had a right to make such a law. While it is- true the officials have no right to take private property without due process of law, they have a right to regulate the use of private property where public convenience fs concerned. The writ was dismissed and Mr. Lorenzen remanded to the custody of the police. * O "H TSR A TR T AT R DA A TSR TR TSR T A TR SR TSR the Board of Public Works to collect the sum of $10 prior to the issuance of a permit.

B i 7/ TOACQUIRE FOR CITY A SYSTEM OF TELEPHONES Supervisors Will Proceed to Ascertain the Cost of One Utility. s SRS Proposals Are Invited for the Con- struction and Furnishing of a Complete Municipal Tele- phone Installation. e T A resolution was introduced by Reed at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Supervisors whereby it is proposed to ac- quire a complete telephone system for the city. Reed beliéves that municipal owner- ship will relieve a long-suffering commu- nity from, the many burdens and petty exactions to which it has been subjected by the local monopoly. Under the terms of the resolution, which will - come up for adoption at the next meeting, proposals are invited for the purchase by the city of its own telephone installation. The underground conduit system of wires is particularly specified and the equipment must be such as to be capable of ultimately serving 50,000 sub- scribers. The resolution follows: Whereas, It is the intention of the Board of Supervisors to proceed in acquiring plans and estimates of the cost of public utilities in ac- cordance with the mandate of the new charter in_that regard; therefore be. it Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the city and county of San Francisco now in- vites proposals for the construction and fur- nishing to this city of a complete telephone sys- tem. To this end all persons, companies or corpo- rations now -operating -a telephone system in San Francisco, as well as: those not ROW oper- ating a telephone system in this city, but de- sirous of making such an installation for the city, are hereby invited to submit proposals for installing and transferring to this city a com- plete telephone system. The - proposals - submitted under * this call should include a complete equipment for a cen- tral station, and for the necessary sub-stations. wires to-ail parts of the city, conduits ‘and poles to carry wires, and all switch-boards and other appliances.and things of whatsoever na- ture. necessary to make the installation a com- plete one_ ready: for operation, and thoroughly equipped to serve at least 25,000 subscribers. The installation throughout and particularls in the matter of the arrangement of the central station and: sub-stations and of .conduits for wires to be such as to permit of an- ultimate equipment. sufficient - to: serve at least 50,000 subscribers. Each _proposal ‘must be accompanied by an itemized. ' statement -ehumerating _properties, lands,: buildings, conduits, poles, wires, switch- boards ‘and all other applfances of whatsoever nature ® which:- it is proposed to furnish, and ‘must " be accompanied - witn plans- and specifi- catfons .and - specific descriptions: of.- all - por- tions" of _the' proposed - installatfon such ‘as to make the offer definite and clearly intelligible, and ‘must.set. forth what. portions or. parts ot the _proposed installation are. covered by pat- ent rights and' what royalties, if any, will have to_be pald:for the use of such patent rights. Proposals Wil be considered under this call whether the necessary -lands and buildings are included or mot. All" wires should be. placed under ground, so far as may be:thought advisable, by the propo- nent, but are.required to be so placed through- out.the streets -of those: portions of ‘the ecity. known: as underground.districts. Proposals under this call-are to be filed with. the Clerk of -the Board: of Supervisors on or before August 1..1900.

BOODLER BARSTOW CONFESSES GUILT | He Received Hundreds of Dollars for Shares in an Imaginary Oil Company.

Barstow kept track of the names and address business men who had died on th within three or four weeks and addressed printed circulars-to them calling for the | last payment of $5 on ten shares of the stock, stating incidentally that the stock had . cost the deceased $13 T share: that the shares had reached $100 each in the ! market, and that regular monthly divi- | dends of §1 per share were being paid to shareholders. The relatives and executors of the dead men thus addressed did not want to lose $1000 - worth of stock for the sake of a | paltry $5. and in nearly every case sent | the swindler a postal note or a bank check | for the amount.
