News reached this city yesterday of the death of A. M. Speck of the real es- | tate firm of A. M. Speck & Co., which oc- curred in Tucson, Ariz. Mr. Speck went | to Tucson some months ago to seek re- lief from an ailment of the throat, be- lieving that change of climate ' would prove beneficial. Since then reports have been generally favorable to his recovery. The news of death came as a surprise. A. M. Speck was a native of Pennsyl- vania. At the time of death his age was | 35 years. He taught school for a period. | About fifteen’ years ago he came to San Francisco and engaged in the real estate business. Being endowed with great en- ergy and much shrewdness, he built up a fine business with the assistance of his brother, John H. Speck. At first he was on_Montgomery street. Then he removed to Market street, near the corner of Third, and there he cpntinued to the time of his | death. He was unmarried. His only rei- ative on the Pacific Coast is John H. Speck, who is a member of the firm. Th> body will be brought to this city for in- terment unless another brother, who re- sides in Pennsylvania, desires that it shall be taken East.

Concert Which Will Be Given at Twelfth-Street Hall — | strated that the city could run the sys ROUTE FOR CITY GTREET RRILWAY Line From Ferry to Park. Declare for People’'s Road When Geary-Street Fran- s chise Expires. The Supervisors' Public Utitlities Com- mittee met yesterday to determine the proper method of procedure in the pro- posed acquisition of | road and to decide on the route to be | traversed by the extension intended to be | made to its presént limits. Mayor Schmitz | and several representatives of various im- provement clubs were present at the meeting and made suggestions in connec- tion with the project. City Engineer Grunsky stated that the route originally proposed was circuitous j 2nd included a cross-town line. The total length of the road would be fifteen miles of which three and a half miles consti- tuted the road as now operated. It would cost but $50,000 to change the present road | Into an underground electric conduit sy | tem. Grunsky suggested another rou | from the ferry along Market street Lo | Geary street, to Tenth avenue, thence to | the park. An electric system embracing this route would cost $300,000. The road could also be run down Second street to the depots and extended along C street to | the ocean, should it be desired. The plan also included a cross-town line from the Presidio across certain streets, termina- ting at the Potrero. Another branch could be run along Nineteenth _avenue | across the park to the Ingleside House. Max Popper spoke for Mission residents and argued that the road should be con- fined to its present route, with the_ex- tension to the ferry and the park. Pop- per said the road could be operated to carry workingmen during certain hours for 2% cents, and the other street railways would have to come down to the rate charged by the municipal road. J. P. Henderson agred with Popper and said that the people would vote for the shorter route and that there was consid- erable opposition. to the proposed cross- town line. E. P. E. Troy of the Ricn- mond Improvement Club also_ spoke in favor of the modified plan. Supervisor Wynn sald he was opposed to any feed- ers to_the line until it had been demon tem properly. Mayor Schmitz favored the | route from the ferry to the park with a Second-street branch, if such were p sible. Supervisors Braunhart, D Curtis and O’Connor also expressed them. | | | i | { i o5 it MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE HAVING IN CHARGE THE ARRANGE- | | elaborately i trlvmmed, ’fine Taffeta MENTS FOR THE GRAND MASQUERADE BALL TO BE GIVEN BY | | throughout ; were $37.50 and $40.00, THE VEREIN EINTRACHT TO-NIGHT. ‘ Special —ole Lempke, F.
