Offer to Install New Sys- tems and Bid for Privilege. The Supervisors’ Public Utilitles Com. mittee yesterday considered the applic tion of M. A. King-for a franchise tol operate a general telephone and telegraph | business. The application is for a fifty | years' franchise for an underground con- | duit system, the work of construction to | begin in four months. The conduit dis- trict is to be of sufficient capacity to ac- commodate at least 20,000 subscribers, and the sum of $20,000 is to be expended in | three yvears. The promoters will give fifty free telephones to the city and 150 pairs of free wires for the Police and Fire De- partment. The rate for business tele- phones is to be $60 per year and for resi- dences $230 per year with no party lines Chairman Braunhart of the committee stated that in his opinion the financial standing of the petitioner for the fran- chise was not sufficiently apparent to war- rant it being granted by the board. He also thought that no franchise should be | granted unless the board is given the | power to fix the rates. He called atten- | tion to the fact that K had begun | construction of a telephone system in San Jose, but had sold it out. King replied that he had installed a telephone plant in Los Angeles which is now in active operation. King held that a new telephone system | would be a benefit to the city, as it would give a better (service. He sald that the | present telephong system lacks improved apparatus. Tt has no multiple switch- bhoard, except one now being installed in Los Angeles in opposition to the new company. King sald he is prepared to bid $50,000 for the franchise under the | Broughton act. i King said he is willing to let the cify | fix. the rates, provided there would be an | Increase allowed for every additional 1000 subscribers above a basis of 10,000; also to sell to the city at any time at the ap- praised value of the system. William_Smith, another applicant for a telephone ' franchise, stated that his tem f{nsured a rapi nd secret service, the. device being a Callifornian invention. He asked that consideration be postponed two weeks, when he would furnish the names of the proposed Incorporators of | the system with a capitalization of $3.-}| 000,000 agd a capacity of 20,000 telephones. Business telephones, he said, would cost $5 per month, residence telephones $2350 and a two-party line$l 50 each. The com- mittee postponed action on the petitions for two weeks. SAYS BOARD ACTS ILLEGALLY. Complaint has been made to Civil Ser- vice Commissioner McCarthy that the| Board of Educatifon has employed two | non-civil service carpenters, and carpen- | ters on the eligible civil service list are extremely agitated over the matter. Me- | Carthy says that he was reliably m-‘ formea that the oard has put J. B. Wil- | liams and James Wilson to work fitting | up rooms in the Humboldt School. McCarthy quotes the charter to show | that the Board of Education has no power | to_ employ carpenters, the power being vested solely in the Board of Public | Works. He declares his intention to bring | the matter before the Civil Service Com- | mission. i School Director Roncovieri says the men | have been employed ever since the char- | ter went into effect. They do odd jobs which he says cannoi be dignified by the name of carpentering. They are union | men and earn $4 per day, but, Roncovieri says, do not belong to the organization of | which McCarthy is president. | | $4.75 For $9.00 ENGLISH' MELTON AUTOKO- BILE CLOAKS for Children and Misses —sizes 8 to 14.

Hidden beneath a pall of beautiful or- chids, the remains of Alite Boalt Tevis, the little daughter of the late Hugh Tevis, were laid tenderly to rest yester- day afterncon In the Tevis plat in Cy- press Lawn Cemetery. The funeral was held from the Tevis home on Taylor street. The parlor in which the body re- posed during the service was filled with fragrant floral pieces sent by the many friends of the deceased. Bishop Nickols and the Rev. R. C. Foute offic house and read the impre: for the dead of the Episcopal church. The pallbearers were Monford S. Wilson, Horace Blanchard Chase, Clinton E. Worden, C. A. Small, Lansing Kellogg and Charles S. Wheeler. Considerable speculation has arisen as to the effect the death of Alice Boalt { Tevis will, have on the disposition of the property left by her father and the late Mrs. Susan B. Tevis, wife of Liloyd Tevis. In accordance with the will made by Hugh Tevis shortly before his death, almost his -entire estate of $4,000.000 will his widow, Mrs. Cbrnelia Baxter Tevis. When the late Susan B. | Tevis died she left a large portion of her estate, estimated at $2500,000, to her granddaughter, Alice Boalt Tevis. Under the laws of California this princely sum will now pass to the little son of the late Hugh Tevis and Mrs. Cornelia Baxter This little boy, who will come into an immense fortune when he attains his majority, was never seen by his father, as he was born about eight months after Hugh Tevis’ death. Thus a great portion of the Tevis estate will pass into the po: session of Mrs. Cornelia Baxter Tevis {and her little child “Who is it?” Cut out in to-mor- row’s Call. Can you solve it.
