Harmless taken as directed. gradient that | it | | though, of course, on a somewhat smaller |scale than was shown for California | street. As an illustration, a standard San Francisco street with a width of 68 feet 9 inches has been taken and = gradient ufcf per cent assumed, this being in acedrdance with the facts as now existing in certain streets. Under hese conditions it is found that a ter- aced roadway 16 feet wide and with a gradient of but 11 per cent can be built, | showing that this same method can be applied at a comparatively small expense to make even narrow streets avallable for a class of traffic heretofore forbid- den. The assumption of a 22 per cent | grade being practically a maximum, @t will be understood that the application o! the suggested improvement upon less | hilly streets will be still more effective. hus, upon streets having gradlents of 16 per cent, of which there are many in San Francisco, the grade may be reduced proximately only 8 per cent. | “While this arrangement can be adopted on these narrow streets, it will be better where traffic is heavy to expand it either by widening one of the standard streets, or, what would be an improvement of still greater benefit, by purchasing the blocks between two such streets and throwing the intervening space into a terraced parkway. Thus, in the blocks between ckson and Washington streets, and be- en Mason and Jones streets, which e a portion of the eastern slope of Hill, where the existing gradients | excessive, there might be given a grand boulevard 392 feet between build- gs, permitting sidewalks 14 feet wide, with a space of 35¢ feet inside for ter- recing. On this a roadway could be con- structed 2% feet wide with a gradient of about & per cent in lieu of the existing maximum gradient of 19.4 per cent. { "As the bulldings to be removed be- tween Washington and Jackson streets are, as a rule, of simple character, the cost will probably not be excessive, to which, as a partial offset, would be a decided increase in actual and taxable values, with consequent return in annual income to the city. No estimate of the expense of this improvement has been | made, as we have no knowledge of the | property values. | UNUSUAL PROBLEMS ARE | MET IN SAN FRANCISCO “The conditions existing to-day in this section of San Francisco and surely coming in otper hilly districts are ab- normal to those of any other city of me size and promise in the world, special means must be devised to the conditions. In many Euro- pean citles similar problems have been se of stairways, but these usually old and small, and conditions of life are much less | complex than those existing in a moa- | American city, destined, as yours is, | a leader in the new century. Un- these circumstances almost any- | | a are and meet hing is better than your present con- ditions on many streets, and I believe | that a c ful study of the matter wlll[ seveal that by combining the two| methods here proposed practically all| yurf streets may be so graded as to| allow for loaded team delivery, and, of course, carriage and cab service, It > work were wisely undertaken it d not be excessively expensive; none | of it so much so but that the jncreased velue of property would amply compen- sate; and it could be so designed and executed with the aid of landscape gardening as to greatly beautify your ity and give it a unique place among the hill cities of the world. “The making of these terraces would. | of course, have to be done by the city. The building of thé tunnels which | would make the terraces possible could be constructed by and at the expense of | the municipality. like the subways in { New York-and Boston, and leased to'the | surface railway companies. As this | rental could be fixed at a rate Some- what higher than the rate on the bonds issued for the cost of the work, such excess, together with the increase in taxable values on Nob Hill, might be made under proper fimancial manage- | ment to equal the interest on_the ad- | ditional cost of the terraces, which lat- | ter would then be secured to the public practically free. to whom would also be given simultaneously greatly in- creased transit facilities of rapid char- acter. San Francisco will then have a subway system not following prece~ dent in other cities, but one of its gwn type, and one required by and adapted to the local topography.” SUPPLIES STATISTICS AND ADVOCUATES SYSTEM Concerning the reasons for unifying the street rallways of San Francisco in one | trolley eléctric system, Mr. Parsons quot- ed 2 mass of figures and related much of the experience of other large cities. The topography and distribution of the popu- lation of San Franciseo were considered and the statement was made that density of pgpulation suggestea the principal con- sidefation in the transit in any district. He found that the street rallway systems of San Francisco had 288.72 miles of track and that they carrfed 154,000,000 passen- gers, in round numbers, per annum. The greatest travel was on the McAlllster street line After some general analysis, Mr. Par- sons said that 50,000 persons are com- pelled to transfer dailly between the | Market-street cars and fie tributary | | lines, a great inconvenlence to the publie. | Passengers coming to and going from 8an | Francisco were estimated at 27,060,000 “Of this total about 25,000,000, or say %0 per cent, are suburban passengers, carried to and_from San Francisco at the rate of | about 70,000 daily.” The ideal condition | was sald by Mr. Parsons to be when a passenger can take a car at any point and | 8o to a destination on the same car with- | out transferring, | The conduit system, Mr. Parsons declared, had been a complete failure | in Boston; was taken up in New York | as the result of an accident and was con- fined there to Manhattan Island, while | roads from the suburbs entered by trolley the northern part of the Manhatfan | island and also entered by way of the Bast River bridges from Brooklyn. In New York City there were 870.11_miles of track using ine over.ead trolley, 213.49 miles using the conduit system and 99.47 miles using horsepower. Some conduits were to be found in Europe in a few of the larger capitals, but they played an insignificant part, even London, Paris and Glasgow, Liverpool, head trolley. No wmastern city made use now of the condult, except Washington and New York. Mr. Parsons would not recommend the condult system for elither the | platform upon which all | San Francisco.” | pended more than $3,500,000 in the down the center and existing light poles coula be removed. PATRICK CALHOUN TALKS ' FQR UNITED RAILROADS Desires to Convert Cables Into Electric Lines Where it Is Possible, Patrick Calhoun of the United Rail- roads, speaking on the general topie, as- sured the assembled merchants that “whatever wifference of opinion may ex- ist in regard to the best method of de- veloping stréet railroad transportation in San Francisco, there was one common might stand, Let us do what is best for He also sald that his as- soclates were not actuated by any nar- row and contracted pollcy. They had ex- im- provement of the lines of the United Rall- roads in this city and had greatly im- proved the physical condition of the roads. Under the plans already formu- lated, the United Railroads Company con- templated the expenditure of $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 more. “It only awaits the adop- tion by your city of a wise and far-sight- ed policy to begin this work,” he said. ““With the adoption of electricity,” he said, “the trolley roads in other cities have extended into unpeopled suburbs, which are rapidly building up, while your ble roads have left ithin easy reach of your business cen- ters unpeopled. The census of 1900 shows that 300,000 of your citizens live within a radius of three miles of Kearny and Mar- ket streets and only 42,000 in all the ter- ritory beyond. For short distances of two or three miles and for travel that has not become congested, the cable is a safe and effective means of transporta- tion. For longer distances and for mobile operation no power has yet been found s0 effective as electricity.” This was the text that Mr. Calhoun fol- lowed throughout his address. The solu- tion of the street railroad problem he declared to be in the conversion of cable roads, as far as practicable, into slectric .operation, to givg an Increased and more efficient servici in the cop- gested districts and to bring near-by sub- urbs into close relations with business centers. It might be wise to tunnel some of the hills of San Francisco, but this would be merely incidental to surface transportation beyond. All the territory lying to the northward of Market street and north of Haight street, he said, could be better served by surface transportation than by any other method. The total distance from Sutter and Kearny streets to the Cliff House was less than six miles; the large areas covered by the Presidio and Golden Gate Park left only the narrow Richmond dis- trict to be served In the section beyond Presidio avenue. East of Presldio ave- nue the United Railroads had fourteen lines of track running east and west. In addition were the Union, Geary and Cali- formia -street roads. The distance from Kearny and Market streets to Presidio avenue was only two and four-tenths miles. With fourteen lines of track to serve the population living within this distriet, no underground or subway sys- tem could be successfully built; nor could the population in that territory already built up become so dense as to prevent the surface lines from affording consid- erable transportation to every part of it. “The transportation problem of this dis- trict,” said Mr. Calhoun, “is simple. It only requires effective electric service, with through cars from the ferries and from points on Market street. Under first-class electric service, the time from Kearny and Market streets to the Pre- sidio would be seventeen minutes; to the Cliff House thirty minutes and to Golden Gate Park twenty minutes.”™ The ideal motive power for San Fran- cisco, Mr. Calhoun said, was electricity, except for that portion of the territory that was too steep to permit electric op- eration. Transportation should be served by surface lines, with tunnels through some of the important hills, as an inci- dent to surface transportation, as had been suggested by Mr. Parsons. It would be necessary to maintain a certain num- ber of cableiroads on the steep grades. It would be more comfortable for people to climb to the high points by cable cars than by &levators from underground. Some of the streets to Nob Hill should be so arranged as to make carriage and automobile traveling safe and comforta- ble. The United Railroads would careful- ly study these suggestions and would cordially co-operate in carrving out any plans that were practicable and effective. ““The most pressing improvement of the transportation system of San Francisco.” Mr. Calhoun said, “is the conversion of the cable roads on Market street into lines propelled by electricity. An oppor- tunity should be afforded of running through electric cars from the ferries via Sfitter and other streets. From Mar- ket and Castro streets quick lines of com- munijcation should be extended into the Sunset District. To accomplish this it will probably become necessary to tunnel un- der the Twin Peaks or some other part of the hills adjacent thereto. A line should be built from Market street south along Church and Dolores streets in as nearly a direct line as possible to Baden. At Church and Market streets such a line would connect with the limore-street road and offer a complete cross-town line, extending from Pacific avenue almost di- rectly . south through the center of the peninsula. The greater San Franclsco must consider all territory on the penin- sula extending as far south as San Ma- teohgi a part of its metropolitan dis- trictd" Th# extension of Market street into the Sunset District; the abolition of the turn- tables at the foot of Market street and the substitution of loops therefor, and the reduction of the running time to San Mateo to fifty-nine minutes, were men- tioned by Mr. Calhoun. He said that a population of more than 1,250,000 could be which was: | comfortably served by surfaee street rail-" way transportation within a limit of thir- ty minutes from the business center of San Francisco. This city. was growing at the rate of 3 per cent per annum, and Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda were growing af the rate of 5 per cent per an- num. He would like to enter into rivalry { with the people across the bay for the de- velopment of the suburbs of San Fran- clsco, to people that splendid territory lying under the Mission hills and to open the peninsula to settlers by ready access to the business centers. Mr. Calhoun advocated the overhead | MIBht. i trolley system as the best for street raflroad transportation. There was no doubt that the unde: system was practicable, he said, but it was not as efficient as’ the overhead trolley, . Jarge territories | H. Bishop, Arthur R. . N Bermert. . L in, L. & Rl , G.

HTS A WoRRN NAPA, Dec.. 5.—A shooting affray that occurred early this morning at the Union Hotel, near Napa Junction, was indirectly the cause of a railroad acci- dent in which Miss Ray Williams was nearly killed. A number of employes of the cement works at Napa Junction had been spendink the evening in the barroom of the tel. Miss Willlams and Maggie McCall of Vallejo had also been present. Suddenly a man-opened. the front door of the barroom slightly and fired several shots into the crowd. One of the bullets struck John Brizelle in the left arm, fracturing the bone. Miss Willlams and Miss McCall ran hastily from the room to escape the bullets and walked down the track of the Vallejo and, Napa Valley electric railroad a short distance. They did not see an electric car approaching and the car struck Miss Willlams with terrible force. The step of the car cut a deep’ gash, thirteen inches in length, across the woman’s left groin. She was hast- ily brought to Napa on an electric car and medical assistance was rendered. Her Injuries are.reported serious to- Officers Dunlap and Secord of Napa spent to-day at the scene of the shoot- ing and found an revolver, which, ‘they belleve, belongs to the man who did the shooting. They expect to capture: the shooter in a short time. 5 1905.

ARMY PROPERTY SOLD N HAWAI Spelal Dispatch to The Call, HONOLULU, Dec. —David - Wahine has been arrested by United States Mar- shal Henry on a warrant charging, him with stealing property of the Federal Government which is used for military purposes. He is alleged to have sold United States army rifle ammunition at a price less than it.costs the Govern- ment to make the ammunition, Just where He got the cartridges is not known, but as no satisfactory explanation was made Distriet Attorney Breckons had him taken into custody. ‘Wahine was care-taker of the Kakaako rifle range. Reports that he was selling United States cartridges came to the District Attorney yesterday and an in- vestigation was begun. Attorney. General Peters took part in the investigation, as it appeared that the offense might be| against the Territory, but an examina- tion of the cartridges showed that they were not the kind given by the Federal Government to the Territory, Breckons and Sherift Henry seized between sixty and seventy boxes which are said to have been in Wahine's possession. They are of the make of 103 and are of the kind used here jonly by the soldiers of Camp McKinley, as far as is kndwn. Wahine's selling price for the cartridges is said to have been forty cents a box. The cost of producing them by the Fed- eral Government is fifty-five cents. An investigation is now going on to as- certain where the cartridges were se- cured. It is thought that others will be mplicated with’ Wahine before the inves- tigation is completed. To Cure a Cold in One D: Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quining Tablets.

Newton, a wealthy English- man, had induced‘her to sign away her rights to a $0,000 mortgage, Mrs. Jane | Gage of this city will bring an action in | the Superior Court of this county to- morrow against him and others to pre- vent a sale of the property invalved, In her complaint, which occuples sixty type: written pages, the plaintiff accuses New- ton of fraud and the case gives every promise of belng one of the most sensa~ tional suits filed in Riverside in years. Mrs. Gage is the wife of Matthew Gage, one of the founders of this place and a well-kpown eapitalist and horticulturist. In" 189 he gave his wife a 350,000 rigage on property known as section 30 in this city. Subsequently, through a decision fendered by Judge Noyes of this county and’ Judge Erskine Rass of the Circuit Court of the United States of California, Gage was enabled to secure a loan of $300,000 through Newton and the Cali- fornija Bank of S8an Francisco on hig hold- ings here and with this mone] e went to England to buy back his st in the Gage Canal and Pumping Company. which “he - had hypothecated to - English eapitalists. While abroad he met Newton, who in- duced him, it is said, on promises of support to put all of the money in the company in order to secure a controlling interest. Newton then persuaded Gage to give ‘him as” surety for the loan a mortgage on all his holdings in Riverside. This Gage did and furthermore succeed- ed in getting his wife to sign away her pricr clalm to section 30 through a first mortgage. Newton, it is sald, then be- trayed Gage and brought foréelosure suit against him and the sale of the property | was advertised for December 14. Mrs. Gage thereupon accused the En lishman of fraud and will ask for a {em- | porary injunction” to-mofrow to prevent | Newton from selling the property. —_——————— STUDENTS FIGHT WITH SPECIALS SAN JOSE, Dec. 5—A telephone message from Palo Alto conveys information of a fight there to-night between fifteen spe- cial deputies and about 150 Stanford siu- dents, severak gt ‘severely iu- jured with clhubi by the officers.
