McKinney, sgainst whom a charge of incompetence had been - preferred by Albert Lyser, incipal of the John Swett Grammar hool, was dismissed by Judge Hunt yesterday.

Asks Supervisors to Pass Or- dinances for Public ~ Accommodation, The Grand Jury sent a communication to the Board of Supervisors yesterday in which it recommends that certain alleged abuses by the old Market Street Railway corporation be corrected. The communi- cation follows: A We are opposed to the granting of any fran- chise to any road without a definite understand- ing that all laws in relation thereto will be complied with. We insist that all unused tracks be at once taken up and the street put in proper condition and that all obstructions be removed. We insist upon a uniform system of transfers. The present system is confusing and annoying. We recommend the abolition of ~the ‘‘short- time”” transfers and the practice of giving transters on some lines wher fare is paid and of others n giving it ‘at: the:polnt of debarka; tion. . We recommend that better facilities be pro- vided for the accommodation of workingmen going to and from work. We suggest an ad- ditional sign be placed in the sidewalk on the curb to indicate where the cars stop. We vb- ject to the high speed of electric cars, especlal- iy on Kearny street. We recommend that tick- ets issued to school children at 215 cents be £00d for passage at any time during school days between S a. m. and 5 p. m. We recommend that an ‘ordinance be passed requiring street railroads to carry the working classes for 3 cents for each fare between 6 and 8 a. m. and from 5 to 6:30 ». m. Ve call attention to the practice of leaving the “bobtail” cars standing on the corner of Calitornia and Montgomery streets all night and recommend that it be discontinued. As the roads are changing hands, we think the present an opportune time to remedy the evils that have so long existed and to obtain for the public adequate, safe and economical transportation. The Grand Jury sent a communication advising that an ordinance be passed pro- viding that trucks and teams going west be vrohibited from using Market street, between Front and Sixth, between ‘the hours of 5 and 6:30 p. m., .and those loaded or loading be permitted to use only one block on the street during that time and then be required to take a cross street. The communication says: Too many deaths and accidents are happen- ing in this city and the igw should step in and protect the people. An accurate count made on March 17 shows that 535 teams passed Mont- gomery street going west on Market, street be- tween 5 and 6 p. m. The lives of pedestrians are endangered by the many vehicles whi could just as conveniently take Misslon or Howard street, where there is less travel, and the principal thus remove the congestion on street of the city. CONSIDERS SITE - FOR PESTHOUSE Strong Opposition to the Bay View Company’s Proposition. The Board of Supervisors vesterday re- ceived another offer of a site for a pest- house from Mrs. A. B. Deussing, who agrees to sell to the city twelve lots in block 32 and block 29 in the tract of the Sunnyvale Homestead, bounded by Visi- tacion avenue, Gundlach avenue and Hahn street, for $7000, or the entire block numbered 29 for $5000. The offer was re- ferred to the Health Committee. The ordinance authorizing the Mayor to offer $8000 to the Bay View Land Com- pany for an eight-acre tract to be used as a pesthouse site was also referred to the same committee. Payot and Wilson opposed its passage on the ground that the site was not a proper one. Wilson said it was inaccessible and it would cost §5600 to build a roadway, and. as there was no water on the site, the cost would be materially increased. Braunhart re- ferred to the fact that the He€alth Board favored the Partridge site, but a number of protestants had opposed the selection of the site. D’Ancona admitted that the price asked by the Bay View Land Company was in excess of its real value, but was exacted by reason of the damage the location of the pesthouse would do to surrounding property. Brandenstein opposed submit- ting to any imposition in view of the lower offer of Mrs. Deussing. The Board of Works submitted a reso- lution recommending the conditional ac- ceptance of Mission street, from Silver avenue to Onondaga avenue, and also the paving of Mission street from Silver ave- nue to Ocean avenue, from funds avail- able therefor together with the further sum of $7500 donated by property owners. Commissioner Casey filed a counter reso- lution that Mission street be accepted from Crescent avenue to the county line. The resolution recites that the street is in a deplorable condition and recommends that the Board of Superyisors appropriate sufficient money in the next budget to pave the roadway for its entire length. An ordinance, however, was passed 1o print ordering the acceptance of Missfon street from Silver avenue to Onondaga avenue. ————— WATCHING CHINESE REBELS PLOTTING IN AMERICA No Arms or Munitions of War Will Be Allowed to Be Shipped. Customs Collector Stratton recefved a letter yesterday from O. L. Spaulding, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, ad- vising him of the fact that the protocol with China dated September 7, 1901, pro- hibits the importation of arms and am- munition into China, and proceeds to say that insurrectionary movements are fla- grant in the southern provinces of China and that the insurgents are deriving sup- plies of arms and warlike materials from abroad. The writer adds: “The department directs that you do whatever may be practieable and proper under the existing laws in the way of re- stricting the exportaion of arms and warlike material to China for, use against a nation with which the United States is at peace and to the injury of foreigners, including citizens of the United States, found in China.” \ ——————— News in Army Circles.

NSIGHTLY SIENS "~ PUT UNOER BAN Supervisors Refuse Per- mit for One on a Roof. Ordirarcs Limiting Fences to Ten Feet in Height Adopted. The Board of Supervisors yesterday set its seal of disapproval on unsightly ad- vertising signs on the roofs of buildings by defeating the final passage of the ordinance granting a permit to Sidney Hart to maintain an electric sign on top of the Baldwin Annex. Curtis opposed the granting of the per- mit on the ground that the sign would be an eyesore.” Curtis.alluded to the sign on the building at Powell and Ellis streets as a mgnstrosity, and although he had voted in favor of it he had done so._inadvertently. He believed that such signs ‘shouid: not be allowed. Brandenstein also objected to the per- mit for the sign, claiming that it is not a legitimate torm of advertising. Lough- ery, as chairman of the Fire Committee, said that he would not recommend the permit it tne sign on the Baldwin Annex were to equal in size the one on the Golden West Hotel. The permit, how- ever, for tne former sign was to be lim- ited to eighteen feet in length by the ordinance as amended. Wilson stated that as a member of the Fire Committee he had not joined in the ccmmittee’s recommendation that the sign be erected. Brandenstein ques- tioned whether the board had the power to grant such permits, The ordinance limiting the height of advertising fences hereafter constructed 10 ten feet was finally passed. Another ordinance fixing July 1, 1903, as the date when fences in excess Of ten feet already built shall be torn down was passed to P . The ordinance appointing a bookkeep- ing expert to investigate the accounts of light and water corporations was re- referred to the Finance Committee. The ordinance authorizing the Tax Collector to employ a cashier in the: license office was _finally passed. Hugo Herzer will be appointed to-the pasition. An_ordinance was passed to. print ordering the bitumenizing of Van Ness avenue between Hayes and Fulton streets. ‘A resolution of intention’to raise the grades on Market ‘'street from Van Ness avenue to Twelfth street was adopted. The Board of Works recommended that Illinois street, between Twenty- second . and twenty-third streets, and Twenty-third street, between Illinois and Georgia streets, be graded to the official line and grade. The matter was referred to the Street Committee. RED MEN WILL ENTER IN A NOVEL CONTEST Two Teams of Pocahontas Tribe to Compete in the Adoption Degree. On Friday night, the 1ith inst., for the first time in the history of the Improved Order of Red Men in the reservation' of Colifornia will be presented the novel spectacle of two teams from the same tribe competing in the adoption degree for a handsome_trophy. This will be by ‘the teams of Pocahontas Tribe No. il. The challenged team, which is under the captaincy of J. Samuels, is the one that carried away the prize in the contest be- fore the Great Council held in this city last year, and is said to be the best tear: in the - reservation. The challenging team, which has been drilled and in- structed by Captain M. L. Wheeler, has for some time been doing its work in “‘executive ‘session,” and no one other than those who compose it has seen the work, consequently there is consider- able curiosity in the order as to what it _can do. The competition will commence at 8:30 o’clock in Union Square Hall, and from the interest that this has_aroused it is probable that the contest will be wit- nessed by as many Red Men as can crowd into the hall, as an Invitation to attend has been extended to all of the local tribes and those in Alameda County. —_——— TU. 8.
