The first night of the second week of AED FIRE FAILS 10 DRAW CROWD Geary Street Railroad Bonds Meeting Poor- ly Attended. Citizens Speak in Favor of Public Ownership of the Line. D Red flashes and huge bonfires, whose sparks floated on the gentle autumn night air without the Alhambra Theater, to- gether with the efforts of a band of eight pieces, falled to attract the people of San Francisco to a mass meeting which had been announced to be held last night for the purpose of giving support, coun- tenance and an impetus to the adopting of the Geary-street Railroad bonds. There was woeful disappointment all around, for I Gutte, the announced chair- man, became indisposed and sent a letter with his regrets, but expressing sympa- | thy with the object of the gathering. C. E. Grunsky, the City Engineer, who had been invited to attend, came to the theater at 8:05. The house was almost empty and Grunsky after looking around left & note for the chairman with his idea of probable profits and expenses should the city take over the road, and he then took a hasty departure from the building. ‘And still the band played at the steps of the almost vacant playhouse, and Sec- retary Troy, anxious and energetic, has- tened to the small crowd of little boys who guarded the red fire to ascertain whether it was necessary to replenish the conspicuous blaze Instead of 8 o'clock, it was three-quar- of an hour later before there was anything like an assemblage of even small size to address.

He appealed to the common sense of the people and asked whether capitalists would desire to re- main in possession of the road unless it was a paying concern. By the city hav- ing control of the road the pay men on the cars would be increased, he said, and thelr hours would be less than they were now. G. B.

Nerio and His Wife Battle With Police- man and Works to Demolish Saloon on Public Highway SQUAD of employes of the Board of Public Works, under the com- mand of Policeman J. N. Beach, proceeded yesterday morn- ing to demolish the saloon and residence of Valentine Nerio, Sixth and Hooper streets, in accordance with in- structions of Michael Casey, president of the Works Board. It was alleged that Nerlo's property was an obstruction on Hooper street and that he had defied the orders of the Board of Public Works that he remove his build- ings. When Policeman Beach and the laborers with him proceeded to tear down the building owned by Nerio a squabble arose. Nerlo is alleged to have threatened Board Squad Sent e VALENTINE g 23 MR. AND MRS.

The affair was witnessed by a large of men employed in the lumber yards in the vicinity of the saloon and excitement ran high for a time. Nerio was arrested on a charge of threats against life and his wife and John La- gomarsino, his stepson, were arrested the Board of Public Works was disclosed yesterday by an investigation of the evic- tion proceedings. Tt was claimed by the secretary of the Works Board that Nerio | had been served with notlce to vacate | pursuant to a resolution passed by the Su- pervisors, which body acted on a petition | by Magee & Son. Documents were displayed by the of- ficials of the Board of Publlc Works showing that Nerio, together with | Parisian grisette is her best work. for disturbing the peace. The arrested | persons were taken to the City Pris.z, the woman being accompanied by one of her young children. Mrs. Nerio and her son, Lagomarsino, were released on $10 bail each, while Nerio was detained in the prison awaiting bondsmen. TROUBLE OF LONG STANDING The trouble between Nerio and the city authorities is of long standing. Mrs. Nerio's " first husbapd built the property Unfon Lumber Company, had been served | with notices to vacate and remove ob-| structions on Hooper street. The lumber company had a large unloading platform in the rear of Nerio’s saloon, and the platform is built over the street. It was admitted by Michael Casey of the Works Board that the lumber com- pany had refused to remove the platform, claiming that Nerio’s saloon was also an obstruction, and that until Nerio com-| | the | | in dispute some 30 years ago, long before Hooper street was dedicated to public use. The building was owned by the present wife of Nerlo when he was marsied and for 22 years ..ie couple have run a saloon in the place. Attempts to oust them have repeatedly falled. Six years ago Nerlo was twice arrested for obstmucting the streets, but he was acquitted in the Police Court. Some of the streets in the vicinity of Nerio's saloon are similarly obstructed. Many of the lumber companies in that district have been in the habit of piling Jumber on the streets and some of them have erected stables, sheds and unloading platforms on the public highways. Magee & Son, the real estate dealers, filed a petition with the Board of Super- visors in February, 1,02, and in April, 1903, complaining of a saloon obstructing the corner of Sixth and Irwin streets, which is a block away from Hooper street. J. end A. Frippo, who kept the saloon in question, removed their building, but Nerio claimed that he was legally entitled to remain in his premises at Sixth and Hooper streets, having llved there a long time before Hooper street was dedicated. Nerio secured an attorney to appear be- fore the Board of Public Works, and the matter dragged along for many months. Finally Michael Casey, president of the Board of Public Works, ordered that Ne- rio’s building be removed, and it was this order that led to the trouble of yesterday morning. LUMBER COMPANY OFFENDS. A peculiar manner of doing business by BROKEN SHAFT STOPS CABLE CAR TRAFFIC Entire Market Street System Is Tied Up by Accident at Power House. Residents of the city who are in the habit of patronizing the cable lines of the United Railroads in their daily travels were forced to a full appreciation of the convenience of that system yesterday afterneon. Shortly before 6 o’clock, just at one of the busiest times of the day, the cars stopped moving. It was soon learned that a shaft, used to hold in place the pulleys through which the cable is con- ducted in and out of the power-house at Valencia and Market streets, had broken and that traffic would be discontinued for many hours. Late last evening it was announced by the raflroad officials that the cars would be running again this morning. . —_—— It pays you to let us do your printing, and you don’t have to worry.

The records of the Board of Supervisors show that no one has ever filed a com- plaint concerning any - obstructions on Hooper street. When the officials of ‘the Board of Public Works were confronted with this fact they replied that the board had a perfect right to declare Nerio's building an obstruction and to remove it from the street. CASEY MAKES STATEMENT. When Casey was asked why Nerio' - loon had been ordered demollihe;l:;; t!l:e obstructing platform of the Union Lum- be‘l" Company had been untouched he said: 1 gave orders for all these obstruc- tions to be removed, and the men started in with Nerio's saloon. The platform of the lumber company will be pulled down later on. It does not matter if the Super- visors did not pass any resolution regard- ing these obstructions on Hooper street or if no special complaint was made. For that matter, I can make a complaint.” Casey was asked If there was any truth in a statement that the Union Lumber Company desired to get Nerlo's saloon out of the way and then ask the Super- visors to declare Hooper street closed to traffic, so that the company could. use the entlre street for its business. “That is the first I have heard of it,” replied Casey. ““We propose to remove all obstructions on streets in that vicinity, as there is a lot of traffic there. The board has acted in a perfectly legal manner in this matter, and Nerio was glven every chance to state his case before the board and remove his building.” ® OPENS FALL TERM WITH INTERESTING PROGRAMME Young Men’s Ohristian A. ociation Educational Department Enter- tains Many Friends. The fall opening of the Young Mon's Christian Associatign educational depart- ment took place last night in the auditor- fum of the buflding. A large crowd was in attendance, The programme was varied and interesting, and was caplitally carrfed out from beginning to end. The principal feature of the entertain- ment was the farce entitled “Chums,” which was cast as follows: Mr. Breed, a Vermont squire, E. C. Davis; Harry Breed, A. B., his son, Wil- liam Melander; Tom Burnham, J. Frauen- knecht; Flora Strong, M:. Breed's niece, G. R. Brockman; Mrs. Breed, A. C. Deckelman. Others who took part were: S. Youens, Miss E. C.

Since the opera’s putting on two seasons @go at the little opera shop I have been wait- ing for it, but it hasn't arrived yet. From Agostini to the humorous lass who does the Sis Hopkins of the crowd in front of the Cafe Momus, every member of the cast simply basks in the opera. They would rather sing it than eat, and it sounds that way. Nor wonderful is this. “La Boheme,” with its human, pitiful, Joyful little crowd of folk one has rubbed elbows with, offers a chance to get down from the stilts of the older opera. Its people come in out of the rain, and other- wise act like humans. The chorus escapes the deadly semicircle, the principals the three gestures of conventional opera. It is only to be natural and the opera goes, and they do know how at the Tivoll. Every time one sees the opera they have added or changed some effective bit of detail in the “business,” even down to the chorus, that the management sen- sibly leaves here to its own devices. Not in the Grau edition of the opera was there the fun, color, point that the Tiv- oli gets into the Cafe Momus scene, for example—though the young woman who wandered in last night from 1903 in a shirt waist might be expurgated. But the scene was full of life and color, as was, and always is, the Tivoli “La Boheme." Neither must its difficulty be underrated. “The quick dramatic movement of the pilece doubles its vocal difficulties, the handling of a moving chorus like that of the aforesaid scene is a herculean task. But the chorus sang, and loved, and Jested in excellent time last night to Mr. Steindorff's beat, and ‘added much also to the picture with its quaint costumes. Agostini, star of the first “Boheme’ given here, still shines undimmed. He seems to be singing even better than usual, and was last night treated to a stormy welcome to that effect. He is by much the best Rudolfo of my acruaint- ance, voiced tenderly and without a trace of a bleat, splendidly equal too to the vocal climaxes; and with a manly and poetic appreciation of the character. Agostini does nothing better than this, if anything so well. The Mimi was new. The little Duchess- ina de Spada made her debut in the role, and sang and smiled har way into the heart of an audience already very favor- ably Inclined to the little lady. There is more coguetry and less poetry im her con- ception than in Montanari's, whose little And, too, measured agalnst Agostini's smooth, virile voice, De Spada's hardly balanced in the climaxes, But, well used as this soprano’'s voice always is, it is rounding out, and will soon be equal to the vocal exactions of the role. She sang very charmingly, very tastefully, however, and gave a thoroughly pleasing performance. Miss de Spada Is happy in looking the part very prettily. Of the immortal quartet Zanini was the Marcel, and a very good one. Ome has noted before the salutary effect of this role on the barytone, and Zanini shows himself very sensible of it. adequate and a good fourth in the fun going. Zani is the Schaunard, the musi- clan, and, like a good many other musi- | clans, with the tail of his eye glued to the beat. Take it off, Mr. Zani, and your Schaunard, with his round rumble and a bass, is quite happy. Dado’s “Farewell Song to the Coat’ was one of the gems of the evening, and his Colline altogether handsome. The dancing scene shows Mr. Dado tripping a heavier fantastic toe than last year. Miss Tromben’s Musette was another novelty of the cast, the dainty morsel of a soprano a very pretty picture, chic and piquant Musette so far as the acting goes. Her voice was, however, not heavy enough to balance those of the other singers. Cortesi was doubly useful as Benoit and Alcindoro. As before said the chorus was very good, but the orchestra needed the soft pedal badly in places, the first act par-, ticularly. Its last act was, however, carefully and f'nely shaded and the work throughout spirited. To-night “Otello” goes with Gregoretti as Iago. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Columbia. The audience at the Columbia last night did not commence to enthuse over the | production of “Florodora” until the double sextet began the famillar strains of “Tell Me, Pretty Maiden,” and the earned three encores for a clever rendition of the ditty, which does not seem to have lost any -of its power to please by fre- quent repetition. The ladies are decidedly handsome and possessed of graceful car- riage, and with their six beaux as an oft- set made a pleasing picture. Isadore Rush as Lady Holyrood is eas- | ily the star of the piece and possesses a style that is not only dainty, but chic as well. Her singing of “Tact” was one of the best things on the programme, and her dancing accompaniment was prettily done. Miss Rush has a smile that puts one in good humor in spite of oneself. Joseph Phillips as Frank Abercoed dis- plays a fine voice in the song “‘Under the Shade of the Palms” and plays what there is of the part with intelligence. R. E. Graham is unctuously amusing as Cy- rus W. Gilfain, and !s at all times con- sclentious and painstaking. His little ex- hibition of yodeling at the conclusion of the “Florodora” sextet recalled the days some two decades ago when Graham used to shine in that particular line. Philip Ryley is all that could be desired as An- thony Tweedlepunch, and his exhibition of phrenology in the first act and of a drunken man in the second created no end of merriment. Donald Brine did not have much to do as Captain Arthur Donegal, but his singing of “I Want to Be a Mil- itary Man,” aided as it was with a large and efficient chorus, was no small feature of the evening’s entertainment. In fact, the chorus work throughout was eminent- ly satisfactory. The girls, and there are many of them, are pretty in the main, and Greta Risley makes a stunning ap- pearance upon her entrance in thé second act. For one who is not too exacting “Florodora” is something to be enjoyed, with its pretty stage pictures and its handsomely gowned women. Central. The Central Theater seems to have capped the climax of its successes with the L. R. Stockwell series of comedies. “My Friend From India,” Du Souchet's great. est of laugh-provokers, was the new bill last night, and the packed house laughed and applauded and gave enthusiastic evi- dence of its delight in curtain calls for the star and his clever fellow players. There is not a dull moment in “My Friend From India,’ and the sallles of humor and flashes of wit are enough to banish the most serious case of the blues. The performance is a genuine treat, a banquet of health-alding amusement, and Stock- well i3 the bright particular luminary that radiates fun as the sun does heat and light. In the role of A.

Marries Conductor of Matri- monial Bureau and Now Repents. i The preliminary examination of Charles Hoffman, a confectioner, living at $8 Her- | mann street, on a charge of assault with | & deadly weapon, before Police Judge | Fritz yesterday brought out the fact that he is another victim of the matrimonial iburenu marriages. He was accused of { throwing a champagne bottle at his wife | on the night of September 29. | Mrs. Hoffman, who is a professional | nurse, testified that she had told her hus- | band that morning that either he or she { would have to leave the house. When she | got home at night from attending a sick | woman her husband held the bottle over i her head and threatened to knock out | her brains. As she was running to the door he threw the bottle at her, but it | struck the wall. On cross-examination Mrs. Hoffman ad- mitted that she was conducting a matri- ‘mon[al bureau in Germany twelve years | ago, when Hoffman applied to her for a | wife. She told him the supply of pretty maidens was exhausted, but that she her- self was ready and willing to become his | bride. They were married and came to | this country, and had been separated three times, owing, she alleged, to his | cruel treatment. Last Christmas day he | had cut her with a knife, and she showed | the scar on her forehead. She admitted that he had a small fortune when they were married, but she added that she also | had a small fortune. Hoffman put all the blame upon his wife for their quarrels, saying that now his fortune had gone glimmering his wife wanted to get rid of him. He promised | the Judge that he would not have any- thing further to do with her, and on that understanding the Judge continued the case till Saturday to see if he kept his promise. @ ettt @ | Buddhistical barber gives him plenty of opportunity for those farcical side plays that never fail to set the house in a roar, while the lines themselves are the essente of humorous absurdity. Stockwell as “the light of Asia,” robed in an omelette-col- ored bed spread, is the most laugh-com- | pelling spectacle imaginable. Herschel Mayall, with his usual ability, portrays the leading juvenile role of the son in an ocean of trouble, who seeks to escape the wrath of his sire by working off the bar- ber as his “friend from India.” Henry Shumer proves himself as good a heavy comedian as he can be a heavy villa and is enjoyable as the western pork- packer determined to get his daughters into the New York smart set. Eugenie | Thals Lawton was a delightful Marion Hayste, and Genevieve Kane and Myrtle Vane were good as the candlidates for Vanity Fair. Marie Howe has a comieal maiden aunt part, and Georgie Wood- thorpe makes the most of her chances as | a German servant girl. Ernest Howell and Edwin T. Emery serve parts acceptably, and the whole cast works in a praiseworthy manner. “My Friend From India” is one of the very best comedies of its kind, and it is a win- | ner this week at the Central. | Fischer’s. | “The, Paraders” broke the record for successes at Fischer's Theater last night. The little playhouse has never been more crowded, and never has one of its audi- ences been more liberal with its applause. After the first act a couple of wagon- loads of floral pleces and bouquets went over the footlights, and the stage had the appearance of a conservatory.
