Hubbs is president and B. P. | E. Troy secretary, against the granting | of the franchise was read and Mr. Troy | addressed the board in opposition to the | resolution. “This application - is only for two blocks,” said Troy, ‘“but it is of more importance than a’'dozen blocks. Enor- mous travel will' come In at Townsend street when the Southern Pacific has | closed its gap on the coast road and the company will have all the points of ap-| preaches to its terminal. “The Market | | Street Company has already. two points | | of approach, so that with the privilege | | re- sted a monopoly of the approaches | | il be enjoved by the big corporation. | The two blocks in question are the only | two blocks the company has not grabbed up in that vicinity. The Board of Super- visors has permitted the Market Street Company to hem in the city so complete- ly that there are no streets available should municipal ownership ever be final- ly decided on, “One of these approaches should be left undisturbed, so that the company cannot secure absolute control of the terminal points. This privilege should not be granted until such time as other com- panles would find it a business proposi- tior to bid for it.” Brandenstein sald the resolution was not in legal form and would have to be redrafted. The matter will be considered in_committee on Friday afternoon. Braunhart suggested as one o. the con- ditions to be imposed upon the company that it be required to pave the blocks from curb to curb. The authorization to the San Francisco | Gas and Electric Company for $8109 26, | v\hir‘h was cut by the Light Committee to tne difference representing the st of erecting electric astu which the company sought to make ' charge against the city, whereas the contract makes the expense chargeable to the company, was postponed for one week to allow its rep- resentatives to be heard.

Special Dispatch to The Call. § EW YORK, Dec. 17.—No informatioh as to the whereabouts of Rev. James Le Baron Johnson, who mysterfously disap- peared from a sanitarium at Watkins, N. Y., has been received to-day by the young clergyman’s relatives and friends, and even his father, Rev. Dr. George D. John- son, knowe nothing about him. Dr. Johnson, who is an archdeacon of the Protestant Episcopal church and lives on Franklin avenue, New Brighton, L. I, in speaking of his son to a Call correspond- ent to-night, sald: “I have not heard anything from my son since he left the sanitarium and know nothing of his whereabouts. The last news I had from him was to the effect that his condition was not improved. That is all I can tell you, for that is all I know.” Neither has anything been hedrd from Miss Mary Hoffman up to a late hour to- night. -— NOT IN LOS ANGELES. Dr. James Le Baron Johnson Has Not Reached the Southland. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.—A brother of Timothy Campbell Johnson, who has charge of Garvanza Church, says he knows nothing whatever of Rev. James 1a Bagon Johnson, Mrs. W, M, Whitte- | in New York more, of Staten Island, who Is visiting | Rev. B. W. Taylor of this city, says she knows Rev. Mr. Johnson well. Neither she nor Taylor thinks Johnson is here. No- | body has heard of him. —_——— MAY HAVE GONE TO EUROPE.| Johnson’s Disappearance Thought to Be Due to Needed Rest. | TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 17.—Philip V. Caesar, president of the Metropolitan | Bank and a close friend of Rev. James Le Baron Johnson, has heard nothing re- | garding his whereabouts. He says John- son wrote to a friend here very recently that he had broken down and was almost broken-hearted at having to give up his work in New York. He wrote that he had had much sickness and trouble, of which he couid not then give particulars. This letter was written from the Atkins Sani- tarium and showed every evidemce, Mr. Caesar says, of complete mental balance. The letter contained a statement that Johnson intended soon to take a long journey. Mr. Caesar thinks it probable that he quietly packed his grip and start- ed for Europe. Czesar and other friends here refuse to believe that his disappearance has any- thing to do with that of Miss Mary Hoft- man from the Bellevue Training School It was renoried hera see | about that present ? you go down this line.
