LARS ENTER |70 GIVE WAMES OF PROMOTERS Railway Companies Ac- cept Condition for Franchise. The representatives of' the San Fran- cisco and Southern Railway Company and the Western Pacific Railway Company, | both of which have petitioned for fran- chises to enter the city, were asked point blank by the Supervisors' Street Commit- tee yesterday as to whether they were ready to disclose to the committee the names of the promoters of the enter- prises. The committee stated that fran- chises have been granted in the past and the roads were never constructed, and under the charter the company should have fifty miles of road already con- structed. Charles F. O'Callaghan, president of the San Francisco and Southern Railway Company, stated that he would give the names of the people interested in obtain- ing the franchise to the committee in ex- ecutive sesslon at once for its own in- formation, but must decline for business reasons to give the names to the public. Supervisor Braunhart opposed the prop- osition of privacy in the matter of rafl- road franchises. He sald it would be nec- essary to have the press and the public know who the interested parties were before the petition could be granted. The committee decided that all deliberations in the matter must be open, according fo charter provistons. O'Callaghan said that the company was willing to pay all expenses incurred by the Board of Public Works in investigat- ing and reporting upon the application for a franchise. O'Callaghan also agreed to di- vulge the names of the stockholders of his company prior to the recommendation made to the board by the committeé re- garding the franchise. The committee thereupon referred the petition to the Board of Public Works with the under- standing that all expenses incident to the investigation by that board shall be paid by the company, which will be required to deposit a sufficient sum for the purpose. M. B Cerf, attorney for the Western Pacific Rallway Company, which wants a franchise along Sixteenth and = other streets, sald that he would make known the names of the stockholders in the con- cern when the ordinance granting the franchise came up for final passage. He promised to give information at that time which .would warrant the Supervisors in voting for the measure. The committee ‘was not altogether satisfled with this pro- posal and put the application over for one week. For the information of the committee B. Joost stated that he now has a fran- chise for the San Francisco and West Shore Rallway Company, which was granted in 1892 by a former Board of Su- pervisors. Joost. stated that the repre- sentatives of the San Francisco and Southern 'Railway Company that were applying for a franchise had used the data he had obtalned at great expense {on the representation that they desired to purchase his franchise. The commit- tee ascertained that the ordinance grant- ing the franchise had not been eigned by Mayor Sanderson and consequently Joost Ead never been légally granted the priv- ege. The petition of the Merchants' Asso- clation for permission to construct at the intersection of Powell, Market and Eddy streets a public safety station was re- ferred to the Board of Public Works with a request that the station be erected out of the funds appropriated by the board for the present fiscal vear. ——————— Grand Jury Finds Indictments.

Edw. S, Knowles, 24 Second st.* x WLL CONSIOER NEW FRANCHSE Supervisors to Act on Geary-Street Road Petition. Now that the proposition of acquiring the Geary street road for a municipal railway system has been beaten at the polls the aquestion of an application of the Geary Street Rallway Company for a new franchise along its present route will be at once considered by the Board of Supervisors. The application for the franchise was made by Horace G. Platt, president of the railway company, last March. The petition was for a twenty-five year fran- chise from November 7, 133, the present franchise of the road expiring on Novem- ber 6. After considering the petition the Public Utilities Committee, to which it was referred, postponed action thereon pending the result of the submission to the peovle of the proposition for the ac- quisition by the city of the Geary-street road. The petition now reposes in the box containing documents referred to the committee upon which action has been postponed for various reasons. Under its own decision in the matter the Public Utilities Committee can do nothing else than consider the petition of the company for a renéwal of its franchise. The original application for the new franchise was made last December by the company under the provisions of the Broughton act, which at that time re- quired action to be ‘taken on a petition flled by two-thirds of the property own- ers along the route of the proposed fran- chise. The committee desired Mr. Platt to withdraw the petition and file a new one in ‘accordance with the terms of the charter. This Platt declined to do. There- upon the repeal of the Broughton act was secured at the last session of the Legis- lature, Platt therefore was forced, under the circumstances, to file a new petition, in which he agreed to abide by the proyi- sions of the charter regarding the grant- ing of franchises for street railways.

Engineer and Cook Drown, PassingSloop Saves Oap- tain and Mate. ~Two men found death in the bay yes- terday during the stiff southeaster which | [swept the harbor and two others escaped | a similar fate only after more than an hour’s heart breaking battle in the storm tossed waters. The deaths and the strug- | gle for. life followed the capsizing off Hunters Point, of the gasoline schooner | Admiral, belonging to the Morgan Oys- ter Company. Those drowned were Emil/ Larsen, the Admiral's engineer, and Charles McCondah, a cook, who was on his way to take a position with the Mor- gan Company at Millbrae. Captain Wil- llam Gustavson and his maté, E. M. Mik- kelsen, saved themselves by clinging to| an_overturned yawl until picked up by | the gasoline sloop Governor. The Admiral, a stanch craft which for years has made aimost dally trips be- tween Channel street and the Morgan Comj 's oyster beds, started shortly after ‘9 o'clock yesterday morning for Millbrae. She had on deck a ton of ice and a pile of empty boxes. After clear-| ing the wharves sall was holsted and untf]l 9:45 all went well. At that time, when the schooner had reached a point about a mile southeast of Hunters Point, a terfific squall struck her and before Captain Gustavson could make a move over went the Admirgl. All hands were | on deck and everybody was thrown into the water. The schooner sank, but on the surface remained her yawl and the empty oyster boxes. Gustavson and Mik- kelsen grabbed the yawl. Larsen and McCondah became mixed up with the frelght and after a few minutes of frantic struggle both disappeared. The captain and mate were unable to render their shipmateés any assistance, | having their own hands more than full. As they seized the yawl the little boat flipped over, taking Mikkelsen with her. | Mikkelsen's heels came down- with ter- ‘HALE’S. Toilet Brushes At Hale Prices.

He stepped on deck just a few minutes be- fore the squall struck and was standing in the bow when the Admiral went over. He was a powerful swimmer, bat in that freight encumbered sea his skill availed him nothing. McCondah was an Englishman, 35 years of age. He was hired by Crellin on Thursday night to cook for the mén em- ployed at the oyster beds. McCondah is well known along the water front, hav- ing served on a number of coasting schooners and on several of the army transports. He was a single man.

The British steamship Lytton, which ar- | rived here the other day from Salinas| Cruz and was put into quarantine on ac- | count of sickness on board, brings from | the south the latest chapter in the ro-| mantic story of the world-famous search for the $30,000,000 treasure supposed to be buried in a cave on Cocos Island. This treasure, so the oft-told tale goes, represented the domestic treasure of Peru | at the time that republic was fighting | Spain for its independence. The treasure, mostly in gold coin, was placed for safe custody aboard an English sailing l.hlpi commanded by one Thompson. A Peru- vian guard was detafled to watch the treasure, but Thompson and his crew murdered the guard, sailed away from Lima and landed at Cocos Island, where they burfed the gold—sixty tons of It. Thompson's ship was later captured by a Peruvian man-of-war and all but Thomp- son were strung up to the yardarms. | Thompson escaped, made his way to New- | foundland, where he intrusted the secret | of the treasure’s location with a certain Keating, who in 1830 is alleged to have| visited Cocos and secured a small part of | the treasure. Keating made a subsequent visit, and later handed down his secret to a British- er, Fitzgerald by name, who in turn passed the information along to Rear Ad- miral Henry St. Leger Bury Palliser, then commanding the British squadron in the Pacific. On his flagship, the Imperieuse, the gallant admiral made rapid tracks for the golden prize. He landed 300 bluejack- ets at Cocos and satisfled himself, it is said, that his information was of value. The Costa Rican Government objected to Admiral Palliser landing armed men on Costa Rican territory without permis- gion. Complaint “was made to England and the admiral was promptly retired from the service. ‘With the treasure fever burning flercely in his veins, the old sailor set about the organization of an expedition to get that gold. He formed a Cocos Island syndi- cate and chartered the steamship Lytton to carry him and his friends to Cocos. The Lytton had a cargo for Salinas Cruz, and there the party joined her and was carried to the island. The admiral and his friends landed, and according: to the officers of the Lytton lo- cated the cave, but discovered that land- slides had burfed it beyond their power to disinter with the appliances they had provided. The Lytton carried the party to Panama, whence they proceeded to Eng- land to prepare an expedition properly equipped to cope with conditions as, they found them on Cocos Island.
