Claims Supervisors Have No Power to Give Away Privilege. Elizabeth Christy, owner of 200 feet frontage on the south side of Mariposa | street, between Pennsylvania avenue and | Mississippi street, filed with the Board of | Supervisors yesterday a protest against | the granting of the petition of the Atchi- | son, Topeka and Santa Fe Rallway Com- pany for a franchise to operate a steam road along portions of Mariposa, Seventh, | Sixteenth and Hubbell streets. The | grounds of the protest follow: | That the Board of Supervisors is without power (o grant the petition for the reason that the franchise does not allow the Santa Fe Company to enter the city with its road or to run its cars to the water front, one of which conditions must exist in order to authorize the board named to grant a franchise to any railroad company other than a street railroad company. That sald franchise contemplates a steam entering Mariposa street at Iowa street at a considerable angle and leaving Mari- posa sfreet at a considerable angle at Pennsyl- vania avenue; that Mariposa street fs a main artery of traffic between the Mission and Po- trero and has been improved at a considerable expense and the usefulness of the street as an avenue of traffic will be seriously impaired. That the proposed franchise contemplates the running of a portion of the Santa Fe tracks on Seventh street, which is already occupled by the double tracks of the Southern Pacific Company. and the proposed franchise would completely destroy Seventh street as an artery of communication. That the improvements on protestant's land consist entirely of dwelling houses and the passing of trains would depreciate their value and lessen their revenues. BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 5 The Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills has pre- sented his resignation as minister of the First Unitarfan Church, the resignation to take effect October 15, the close of the fourth year of Mr. Mills’ service in that field. The resignation has been contemplated for six months and was placed in the hands of a special committee of the church board of trustees in August, though three months before that the board was notified of Mr. Mills’ intention to withdraw. The retiring clergyman’s letter will be read to-morfow morning after services by John P. Irish, president of the board of trustees. Under the rules of the church a meeting of the congregation will be called to act on the letter. Mr. Mills an- nounced to-day that his decision to retire was final. Four years ago Mr. Mills came to Oak- land from Boston. Seeking quiet and re- tirement he took a home in the Piedmont Hills. He was Invited to supply for a time the then vacant pulpit at the church of which he later became minister.s Dur- ing his work he raised more than $25,000 outside of the regular church expenses and lifted the heavy burden of debt that was upon the organization. Mr. Mills did not obligate himself to fulfill the ordinary rofitine of pastoral du- ties, and in March, 1902, feeling that the church had reached a point where it was necessary for some one to do that work, presented his resignation. Instead of ac- cepting it the church membership unani- mously requested Mr. Mills to remain. They had an assistant pastor appointed, but this did not prove advantageous, and since the assistant’s departure Mr. Mills has had in mind his final retirement. Mr. Mills has under consideration some pro- posals, the nature of which he is not ready to make public. “‘The relations between the church and myself are of the most cordial charac- ter,”” said Mr. Mills to-day. ‘‘My -retire- ment has been in mind for months. My reasons are well known to the trustees, and they are weighty enough to be suffi- clent. My mind is clear about my field of work. I feel that the church is strongly on its feet and that I can safely step out at this time.” Colonel Irish, as president of the board of trustees, said: “‘Mr. Mills’ decision to go has been known to the trustees for several months. His work In this church has been magnificent. By almost super- human effort he lifted the load of debt from the church, and that has caused him to be in great demand elsewhere.” —_—— Fell 1500 Feet.

STATE REFUSES 10 PAY GLAM Silvera’s Demands Are Repudiated by Au- thorities. When thirteen convicts escaped from | Folsom prison on July 27 they forcibly | took the team of Joseph F. Silvera and | appropriated it to their own use. Silvera presented a claim for $600 Jamages against the Board of Prison Directors. The case was submitted to the Attorney | General, who has advised the board that | there is no statute authorizing the pay- | ment of such claims in_this State and | that the State Board of Prison Directors | has no authority to pay the claim out 0(; any State funds or appropriations under their control, nor has the State Board of Examiners any authority to audit such | claims. | Now Silvera is wondering where the money is coming from to reimburse him for his loss. Silvera was hauling wood on the| memorable afternoon of July 27 when the thirteen convicts suddenly pounced down | on him and made him drive them up the | road to Pilot Hill, where the battle took place. In the wagon were the thirteen convicts, the six guards and Silvera, who | drove the team, four horses comprising it. | ‘When the posses, Sheriffs and guards | arrived at Pilot Hill they attempted to | surround the convicts, but the escapes | ordered Silvera to drive them into the| timber adjacent. In order to stop that! move the posses shot the horses, killing | one instantly and wounding two others. One was afterward killed by the guards to put him out of his misery. It is for | the loss of these horses that Silvera put in his claim. ———— PROMOTION COMMITTEE SAYS STATE SHOULD WIN il C.ambers of Commerce Have Atten- tion Called to Coming Irriga- tion Congress in Ogden.
