Schmitz notified the Board of Public Works yesterday that an expert, J. Fitzpatzick, had reported to him that | the Trocadero culvert under the Nine- | teenth avenue “fill” was in bad condition and was in imminent danger of going to pieces. The Mayor, who had also made | a;‘personal inspection of the cuivert, found that the masonry was cracking in various | places and bricks could be taken out by the hand. The Mayor notified the board that if some remedy were not taken to | prevent further cracking of the masonry | the culvert would collapse and a loss of $10,000 would fall on the city. Contractor McDonald informed the Mayor that the work was done according to plans and specifications furnished by the Board of Works, and on investigation his Honor found that the contractor had carried out his part of the contract. The Mayor be- lieves the plans were defective, and orders the board to locate the blame for the trouble. The culvert cost $1500, and the remain- ing $8500 of the appropriation was utilized to fill in the gulch. y Engineer Grun- sky filed a report on the subject on April 14 last saying that the culvert has been under close observation eveg since it was known that the masonry showed cracks, resulting from the heavy weight of earth and sand filling above it. The report out- lines the following remedy for the de- fects: R. T. KENNEDY COMPA 3@~ Meation this paper.

Tavano, Amadio Franchinetti and Emilio Pifferini with murder. Tavano Is still : large, thougn Sheriff Dunlap and a posse are hot on his track. The Sheriff has offered $100 reward for his capture. The officers have spent the entire day in the mountains in the vicinity of Oat Hill in an effort to locate the fugituve. Deputy - Sheriff Grauss of Calistoga brought Franchinetti and Pifferini to the Napa jail to-day. Franchinetti will not talk about the murder. Pifferini asserts hat Englehardt and Tavano quarreled a week ago at the mine, but patched up their differences. On Thursday night Ta- vano was under the influence of liquor and visited Franchinetti and ~Pifferini. They -told him to go to his bunkhouse and get some sleep. The two men then escorted Tavano over to Englehardt's bunkhouse, Tavano having been stopping with the German. Englehardt was there with several other miners and was get- ting_ready to retire. Pifferin{ says that Tavano kept saying, “I'll fix him, I'll fix him,” meaning En- glehardt. Englehardt realized that he L e e e e o o S GROUND BROKEN FOR BIG PLANT Work Is Begun on Stee Trust’'s Factory and ‘Warehouse. The steel trust has begun work on the new and greatly enlarged plant at Six- teenth and Folsom streets to take the place of its North Beach property, in ac- cordance with the plans as announced exclusively in The Call a month ago. Teams are busy filling in and grading and workmen are putting in concrete piers for the foundations, and in less than a year the trust will be manufac- turing wire and twisting it into cables on tke site made familiar to San Fran- ciscans by the annual games in -which Stanford and the University of California have struggled on that field for football supremacy. - The plant at North Beach will be util- ized until the expiration of the lease, March 1 of next year. It is the old Cali- fornia Wire Works plant, which was taken over in 186 by the Washburn and Moen Manufacturing Company, which, in turn, was absorbed three years ago by the American Steel and Wire Company, a New Jersey comporation. The latter company became a part of the United Stares Steel Corporation a year ago. The new plant will embrace the manu- facturing branch and an immense ware- house,, all under one roof. The great buildfig will be but one story high on account of the great weight of the mate- rials handled. But it will be most sub- stantially constructed, in modern mill construction style, of brick and wood, with heavy walls on concrete pler founda- tions, and with thick fire walls dividing it into sections. It will be 520 feet long on the Folsom-street front, 460 feet on Fifteenth, 180 feet on Sixteenth and 130 feet on the Harrison-street side, the en- tire building taking the form of an L. The Sixteenth-street end will be given up to the immense warehouse, which will be used for the storage of Eastern pro- ducts of the steel - trust, as well as for the housing of the output of the San Francisco works. Two switch tracks will be run into the factory and warehouse from ‘Harrison street by the Southern Pacific. The site comprises five and three-quar- ter acres, and the trust paid the Mechan- jcs’' Institute 390,000 for it. Expenditure for site and building will: probably reach a quarter of a million dollars. The plans for the new plant were drawn up by W. P. Palmer of Cleveland, Ohio, president of the American Steel and Wira Company; Chief Engineer F. H. Daniels of the same corporation, whose home is' at Worcester, Mass.; George H. Ismon, Pacifi Coast sales agent, and Henry M. Brittan, superintendent of the plant, at the time of Messrs. Palmer and Daniels’ visit to San Francisco earlv in March The manufacture of wire cables, well- drilling ropes, furniture springs, etc., will be gradually extended, and the manufac- ture of wire and wire products will be undertaken as fast as conditions permit, About 150 men are employed now, and it is expected that the number will be very largely increased when the new plant is in operation.

Tavano, whose knife had been taken from him, picked up a miner's candlestick and joined in the fray. All rolled through the doorway out into the open. Pifferini says he saw Tgvano stab Englehardt several times with' the sharp-pointed candlestick. After this all left the scene, supposing that Englehardt was not badly wounded, and went to their bunks. Later one of them returned and fownd their victim dead. Tavano went to the bunkhouse with his companions, but could not rest. He then went to Englehradt's quarters, got his pistol and started for the hills in a north- erly direction from the mine. Deputy District Attorney Bell, who per- sonally “interviewed the witnesses at the mine vesterday, believes that there will not be enough’ evidence to hold Fran- chintti and Pifferini for the crime. He believes that, from what he has heard and seen of the affair, Tavano is the actual murderer. Sheriff Dunlap, Deputy Sheriff Grauss and others believe that Franchinetti Is implicated in the killing. The circulars sent out by the Sheriff zive the following description of the mur- ierer: Tavaro is an Italian, 28 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, welghs 140 pounds; heavy, stout shoulders; 'large, dark eyeg, showing consid- -rable white; black hair,” bfick mustache, not very heavy: is wearing a black coat, gray vest, gray pants, old white soft hat, red col- red shoes; may have on pair of overalls over Tousers. as they are missing: negligee shirt, tiff collar and bow mnecktle.

Additional comments by the leading news- papers of San Francisco upon the annoying circumstances forced upon him by motives of a rival. . OPINION OF THE “POST.” The Evening Post says that George Mayerle's methods have been copled. ‘'‘George Mayerle,' the Post obseryes, “‘by reason of his wide ad- vertising, has built up a large business,” which the Interloping firm next door to him is en- deavoring to secure. Despite the attempts which have been made to attract his business, ‘George Mayerle, the German Expert Opticlan, of 1071 Market street, continues to hold his patrons, for they know his sclentific methods. Be not misled. Re- member the number—1071 Market street, and the full name, George Mayerle, the German Expert Opticlan. His trademark is an eye with a crown. The Wasp says: *The attempt of another person of the same name to capture the busi- ness establishqd by George Mayerle, the well- known optitlah at 1071 Market street, will eventually do Mr. Mayerle more good than harm. It is an old trick, and a discreditable one, to try to steal a man's business, and it never succeeds. The newspapers.should pro- tect George Mayerle. He has been a liberal advertiser, and conducted his business on rep- utable lines, and now. when he begins to reap the benefit ‘of his hard work, another person claiming the same name opens an office next door, to get the benefits of his advertising, and ‘appropriate his patronage. The interloper appears to be doing no business at all, and it would be an outrage if he did.” Be not misled, look for the fuil name, George Mayerle, also an eye with a crown on_every window, and remember the entrance, 1071 MAYOR GONFERS | WITH HARRIMAN RailWay President Prom- ises a First-Class Cut-Off Line. E. H. Harriman, president of the South- ern Pacific Company, visited Mayor Schmitz yesterday morning in company ‘with Julius Kruttschnitt, general manager of the road, and Attorney William F. Herrin to discuss the franchises and priv- ileges sought to be obtained by the cor- poration from the Board of Supervisors. These include a petition for a right of way for_the cut-off line from Sunnydale avenue to Sixth street. Harriman assured the Mayor during a pleasant talk that the company was de- sirous of bullding the road so as to make it the least objectionable to the people living in its vicinity. “The company,” said Harriman, “is willing to comply with any reasonable re- quirements the city might exact. The cut- off line would relieve the Mission of the heavy trains now running through that sectior, on the’ existing trdcks, It is in- tended to run all the freight trains and most of the passenger trains over the cut- oft line. The tirae between Saa Mateo and this city will then be reduced by ten or fifteen minutes. We desire to come into closer touch with the people and es- tablish more amicable. relations than ha hitherto existed between the company and the community.” Kruttschnitt assured the Mayor that construction work would be first class in every respect. He expressed a desire to discuss the matter more fully with the Street Committee. The conférence then came to an end. . Adams’ Sarsaparilla Pills.
