The hearing, | betore Judge Kerrigan, occupied all of “ the day. It will be resumed on Friday | morning. At the opening yesterday Attorney | B. 8. Pillsbury asked for a continu- | ance, which was denied. He said that the California Powder Company, of | which he is practically the executive | head, had been charged with being a | party to a conspiracy to wreck the | chemical company, and he wanted an | opportunity to deny the charge. The | president of the concern, Captain John Birmingham, is now on his way from ‘Washington. Garret McEnerney, at- | torney for the Du Pont Company in the | original litigation, also asked that he be permitted to participate in the final arguments. Both Pillsbury and Me . Enerney asking for delay pleaded that l they had been busy with the Dolbeer | case. | A half-dozen counter affidavits for | the E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Powder Company were then read to the court, the principal one heing that of Plerre S. Du Pont, treasurer and assistant egecretary of the big New Jer- sey corporation. He admitted the company’s purchase of stock In the various California powder com- panles, excepting the Judson Dyna- mite Company, but said that the pur- chases had been made in Delaware and | that the company had done no busiriess in this State. He denied that there had been any conspiracy to wreck the chemical company, but admitted that ! a proposition had been made to acquire control of the local corporation, the Du ©5nts believing that a change in man- | of all the stockholders. LOANED LARGE SUMS. His recital of the financial transac- tions between W. Peyton and T. C. | Du Pont, president ®f the trust, threw an interesting light upon the relations between the ccmpanies. He declared that in January, 1901, Peyton represent- eG that $300,000 cash was all that was needed to start the Peyton Chemical Company, and upon his reprezentations | the Du Ponts subscribed and pald for | $300,000 worth of stock. Du Poni ex- | preszed the belief that the remainder the stock, 2506 shares, was issued to ton without payment. Afterward, is sald, Peyton represented that more money was needed, and the Du Ponts losned him $75.000, and thereafter he borrowed $75,000 more from the Bank of California. In 1902, it is said, Pey- ton said $45,000 more was needed to complete the works. He got that, and | returned for another loan of $60,000, saying that it would not all be needed, as the earnings would be sufficient to meet part of the debt. When the $60.000 loan was made, it is said. it was agreed that there shouid be no more demands for money, and the assessment of $10 a share on the In Ponts’ 3000 shares is considered an evasion of that agreement. The ex- planation of the California Powder Company's breaking of the five-year contract for acids, on which the Pey- ton Company has sued for $572,000 dam- ages, is e the Peyton C vears to deliver contract. CHANGE NECESSARY. Du Pont says that the situation has wone from bad to worse, and it was considered that a change of manage- ment was imperative, so it was ar- ranged to transfer part of the Du Pont stock to R. 8. Penniman of the Califor- nia Powder mpany. in order that he might inspect the books and set on the board of directors. It is declared ihat $450,000 of the Du Pont money has heen used up in three years, the inter- est on which would amount to $60,000, and there has been no return in the way of profits. U’therpaflldu\ils chiefly those of F. D. Madison and S. Penniman, went inte the auestion of good faith in de- | manding the transfer of stock and in- spection of the books and of the regu- | larity of the litigation. Attorney J. J. Barrett argued the Du Pont side and Judge Allen spoke for the chemical pany falled for three any acid under the agement would be for the best interests | given in the statement that | |Board of Public Works | Don't You Bu[ a Anxious to Put an End to Disgraceful Conditions : 4 GAS WOULD SELL THE BONDS e HEATER Orders City Architect to Prepare Plans for Engine-| House on 26th Avenue it 1t will warm the room cheaply | There is a possibility that the rap- idly degenerating streets of San Fran- cisco will at least he repaired to a fractional extent in the mear future. The desire of the Board of Public ‘Works and the Board of Supervisors is that some relief be afforded at the earliest opportunity and that at least a portion of the bond issue for the re- paving of accepted streets be made available. The Board of Public Works has ordered a resolution pre- | | pared that requests that the Board of Supervisors sell bonds in sufficient sum to permit of the paving of prin- cipal streets designated in the report of the City Engineer. A great deal of complaint has been made by property ewners of the des | cadence of the city streets and the failure to sweep them. There is aiso % failure on the part of the police to enforce the ordinance prohibiti.g the sweeping of refuse of shops into the gutters. The story is extant that never in the histery of the city have the streets been in such a disgraceful condition and that now is the time to take steps to have them properly cleaned and kept frée of health-pois- oning debris. The streets that the Board of ‘Works proposes to repave with bitum- inous rock or asphait en a concrete foundation are: Market street, from Second to East; Mlssion street, from | Fifth to Ninth; Sixth street, from ! Market to Howard; Valencia street, from Eighteenth to Twenty-sixth; Sutter .street, from Stockton te Lar- kin; Kearny street, from California to Montgomery avenue; Bush street, from Powell to Taylor; Larkin street, from Hayes to Turk; Van Ness ave- nue, from Fulton to Geary; Seventh street, from Market to Harrison; Ninth street, from Market to Folsom. There are many streets in the down- | town district proposed to be repaved with basait blocks on a concrete foun- dation and with basalt blocks on sand, and these will also be improved, the idea being to stimulate interest in the purchase of the bonds. | It is proposed to deal similarly with the construction of other streets pro- | vided for by the bond issue, it being intended to proceed with those for | which there exists an immediate ne. cessity. | The board referred to President of | Board of Works Schmitz several pe- | titions for permits to sell flowers in | the free markets at Kearny and Mar- | and quickly.

The board decided to bituminiz: and put sidewalks down on _Scott street, between Fulton and Hayes, ! fronting Alamo square. The appropri- | ation of $2750 is insufficient to improve Hayes street in front of the park. The contract for repaving Eleventh street, between K and L, was awarded to McHugh & Sheerin.
