BASH WILL INSPECT AL THEATERS | Board of Works Insists on Compliance With Law Be- fore Issuing Any Permits AL e R The Board of Public Works decided yesterday to make a final official in- i spection of theaters on some day mext week to ascertain if the requirements of the ordinance as to their safety have been complied with. Action was taken as the resuit of a petition filed by the California Theater management for a permit so that a license may be pro- cured from ‘the Tax Collector. Some time ago the board furnished each theater with a list of necessary alterations to make them safe fro panic and fire. o “"Unless these requirements have been complied with,” said Commissioner Schmitz, “I am opposed to granting any permit, as I do not want to as- sume any responsibility. I understand that the California has complied with | our directions in every respect. How- ever, I think this board should again | inspect all theaters to protect itself.” | The complaint of the Merchants’ As- | sociation that signs are being main- | tained at the outer edge of sidewalks |in violation of an ordinance resulted |in the board sending a communication to the association asking that it adopt a resolution requesting its members to aid in the enforcement of the ordinance | by removing any obstructions on side- | walks they themselves may be main- taining in the shape of boxes, machin- | ery and iron. The board thought the |1atter were greater obstructions than | signs, and desires the co-operation of the merchants in clearing the side- | walks., The secretary was directed to sell | fifteen tons of old iron at the corpora- tion yard. Office Deputy Donovan reported that pursuant to instructions he had taken up a spur track on Second street, be- tween Townsend and King, for which no permit had been obtained. Flinn & Treacy were granted an ex- tension of forty days to complete the paving of Dore street, between Bryant Twenty-third street, between Dolores and Chattanooga. J. J. Dowling was | allowed forty days to repave Frederick street, between Stanyan and Willard. The application of the City Street | Improvement Company to repave Clay street, between JFirst avenue and Cher- ry street, was denied, as the city would be liable for $850 of the work and no appropriation is available tp meet the expense. The board rescinded a permit granted to the San Francisco Laundry to re- construet a stable bn Turk street, near Fillmore, because the original plans had been altered. The board decided to rent three sani- tary cleaning machines on trial at $6 per day. Commissioner Casey objected to renting the machines on the ground that it would be cheaper to purchase them outright, but the owners refused to sell. A committee of property owners in the Sunset District appeared before the board and asked that the use of red rock be permitted in the paving of the district bounded by Eighth and Elev- enth avenues and I to P streets. The committee represented that the red rock good as blue rock and costs and if their contention is correct its use will be allowed.

J. Cunningham as administrator of the estate of Chew Bing Quoia, a wealthy, Chinese labor contractor, who died last year. Cun- ningham was appointed at the request of Lum Quoi, who claimed to be the dead man's widow. Chew Bing Quoia's kinsfolk oppose her pretended relation- ship and' contend that the real widow lives in China, while the bogus one was only Quoia’s slave. Chew Kum Fong was examined again yesterday. On Tuesday he identified the “three generations paper,” a red document purporting to be a part of | the wedding contract with Low Shee. Yesterday the same witness identified the bill of sale for a girl named Chan Lau, who, he says, is the Lum Quoi in the case. Fong testified that the de- parted contractor bought the girl in China and that she arrived here with Ng Shee., She was taken to rooms over & Co.'s store and kept by | Sam Kee Quoia. | “The bill of sale covered a large sheet { of white tissue with Chinese charac- | ters, and as translated by Dr. Gardner | | reads as follows: BILL OF SALE I, Lam Tew Kuey of Pak Tsz Sher, situated at the south side of Tuk Chow, make this bill of sale, selling forever our daughter for a slave.

A vaudeville entertainment is to be given at the Alhambra Theater to-night | for the benefit of St. Mary’s (Paulist) Church.

Said Masked Men Looted | Vault Is Indicted for Theft | SHORTAGE IS $Ii«,500i Grand Jury Still Investi-i x gating and Other Sensa- tional Arrests "Expected e et | The Supervisors’ Street Committee yesterday decided to recommend an ordinance limiting the rate of speed of street cars to eight miles an hour in some districts and to fifteen miles in others to be determined later. Representatives of the Richmond and Point Lobos Improvement clubs appeared in opposition to a proposed ordinance limiting the speed of street cars in the city limits to eight miles an hour, as they desired a higher rate of speed in the outlying districts. E. Troy suggested that cars provided with electric or air brakes be limited to fifteen miles an hour and those with hand brakes to ten miles on level ground and eight miles on hills. Tirey L. Ford, attorney for the United Railroads, said it would be un- wise to limit the speed of the cars, as it would prevent the development of the suburbs and either increase the population in the center of the city or drive it across the bay. Ford de- nied Troy’s assertion that the service had been crippled and said it is abso- lutely impossible to prevent the over- crowding of cars. Ford thought an ordinance was needless, as the cars move very slowly in the downtown district and the company had no de- sire to run cars at a dangerous speed. Braunhart suggested that the ordi- pance be framed to limit the speed to eight miles in some districts and fifteen miles in others and the com mittee sagreed to prepare such an or- dinance. ACCIDENTS ARE FREQUENT. Troy produced figures supposed to show that more people are killed or injured by street car accidents in this city than anywhere else. Several cit- izens testified to the good car service in the Richmond District, where greater speed is desirable. Captain A. H. Payson appeared be- fore the committee and urged the passage of an ordinance granting the Santa Fe Railroad Company a fran- chise fér a right of way and the right to operate a railroad on Indiana, Mariposa, Seventh and Sixteenth streets. The committee postponed ac- tion until next Wednesday at 3 p. m. to give protestants against a right of way on Mariposa and Sixteenth streets an opportunity to be heard.. DISCUSS HANDBILLS. The committee considered the pro- posed ordinance prohibiting the dis- tribution of handbills and printed matter in doorways. Protestants from labor unions and other organizations agreed that an ordinance should be passed to stop the delivery of immoral literature, but they argued that the proposed law would prohibit the de- livery of every kind of legitimate lit- erature. The interested parties were requested to frame an ordinance to meet the emergency and the commit- tee agreed to recommend its passage. The petition of Orinda Parlor, N. D, G. W., to plant a memorial tree to pioneer mothers in Golden Gate Park L. H. Whitley was granted a permit to explode blasts along the bay shore right of way of the Southern Pacific Company and also to lay temporary tracks along Twenty-seventh avenue South to H street South, thence to Twenty-fifth avenue South. The Associated Oil Company was granted a permit to drive a tunnel un- der Mariposa/street for an oil pipe line. —_— PETALUMA BANK OF SAVINGS IN COURT Trustees of Bankrupt A. B. Costigan File Suit to Have Deeds Declared to Be Mortgages. C. K. MclIntosh, James P. Brown and George R. Baker, as trustees of the es- tate of A. B. Costigan, bankrupt, filed a suit in the United States District Court yesterday against D. B. Fair- banks and the Petaluma Savings Bank. The complaint alleges that Costigan in May, 1903, borrowed $9000 from the bank named and gave his promissory note therefor. In order to secure the note be delivered deeds to the bank for certain property at Clovis and Sanger in Fresno County. It is alleged also that the deeds were not recorded until September 21, 1904, two days after Costigan had been adjudicated a bank- rupt. The contention is made that the failure to record the deeds until that date operated as a fraud upon the other creditors, who, not knowing of the existence of the deeds, extended credit to the bankrupt. The complain- ants ask that the deeds be declared an unlawful preference in favor of the bank as against the other creditors, and that the court should regard them as mo; ) The matter was set down for hear- | 000, which is fully subscribed. G. H. Sneath has been elected president of the bank, Willlam Hughes vice presi- dent and Charles Dugan manager. g mrcotoe St v LINOTYPE MACHINIST WANTED, — The United States Civil Service Commission an- nounces examinations on November 14 for the positions of Linotype machinist and Monotype machinist.
