JUDGE CABANISS DISCUSSES "~ STREET CAR ETIQUETTE POINTS OUT CHANGES IN THE CODE iOHicially Announces That It Is Not Good Form to Threaten to Carve One's Fellow Passengers. | BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. t considerable length and with ac-j customed profundity Police Judge Ca- ss elucidated certain changes in the code of street car etiquette that| are nmc:slm[cd by traffic and social ent upheaval. “Since the carrying capacity of the ! United Railroads is no longer ade- quate to meet the demands of feet-| sore sightseers, especially on Sun- he said, “we must stage our (conduct to conform with the incon- veniences thereby erected. It is our duty to board a car with all possible, alacrity, patiently submit to the squeezing and pushing to which we are unavoidably subjected while we are abroad, and to disembark in a way shall convey the least discomfort ! | i to the smallest number of our fellow-, martyrs. And we must remember! that the conductor can no longer b\. relied upon to adjust or arbitrate our! contentions, for his wrestling with a mob is a continuous performance, and is physically Impossible for it \ H him to respond to every one's beck | and call. nbe ubiquitous in an overcrowded car. Let us therefore eschew our wonted {frritability and endeavor to be ami- |able even when trampled upon. Each |of us may find solace in the reflec- jtion that we are in the same boat— oA, I might say, aboard the same car— and that what is exasperating for one |is not exhilarating for another.” His Honor's homily was addressed to Thomas J. Moseley, a building contractor, who was accused of hav- ing threatened ta slay with a knife one T. R. McCausland while that gentleman and Miss Alice Ames were endeavoring to clamber abroad at Six- teenth and Mission streets a car to which passengers clung like flies to a molasses barrel in midsummer. “Me and my lady friend,” Mr. Mc- | Causland testified, “were trying to get! to the car when this man, in front of us, sald, ‘Stand you back,’ and when I objected to his command he forced me back by pressing the point of a knife against my chest. No. the didn't ask cease crushing his little daughter.” | Miss Ames corroborated Mr. Mec- Causland’s tale in toto, and then Mr. { Moseley acknowledged that he ex- | hibited the knife, but pleaded that he | was prompted to do so by paternal | solicitude, as Mr. McCausland at that | moment was squeezed against 17- 1 year-old Miss Moseley in such a way jas to project her head over the shoulder of a strange gentleman and thus cause her embarrassment, not to mention physical discomfort. “But before I drew my knife,” Mr. Moseley |averred, “I sald to this man, ‘Brother, {can't you ease up a little?” and he acted as if he were deaf, so I dis- !pla)ed the knife more for the pur- | pose of making clear my words than with intent to stab him. No, he is not my brother. Since the 18th of | April I have addressed every man as ‘brother.’ " 'Twas then the Judge dellvered himselt of the address above quoted, | and at its conclusion he dismissed the charge against Mr. Moseley. « s An inkling of the keen rivalry that exists between the towns of San Ra- {fael and Mill Valley, adjacent Marin County, was conveyed to the congregation in Judge Conlan’s court by his Honor's sharp resentment of a { misdemeanant’s assertion that he ob- |tained Intoxicating liquor in the first- {named burg last Sunday. Walter Watson, teamster, and | Alexander Paton, milkman, were of the i thirsting many to obtain liquefied exhilaration, and they were heavily frelghted with in- ebriety when Patrolmen Buckley and Mahoney arrested them: for disturbing the peace on a Market-street car. “Where did you acquire your intoxi- cation?” the Judge asked Mr. Watson, and promptly came the reply, “Mill | Valley.” Now there is no more patriotic resi- dent of Mill Valley than the Judge him- !self, and the suddenness with which |he figuratively flew at the throat of | Mr. Watson literally took that gen- tleman’s breath away. *“You did not!" he thundered. “I know whereof I speak when I say that, for I spent the Sabbath in Mill Valley, | to make oath, if nec ary to crush { vour libel, that not a drop of intoxi- cating liquor has been touched, or handled in that model town since the refugee invasion began.” | Further interrogation of Mr. Wat- {son elicited the confession that he was not very familiar with Marin geography, and thal his “jag"” y was acquired in San Rafael. o probability about the court houted in tone of ringing triumph. “That's where you got it—In San | Rafael—the same San Rafael that is | willowing in despair over the futility ‘oA its efforts to emulate Mill Valley's | chastity or to besmirch Miil Valley's |fair fame—the same San Rafael that™ “I'm purty sure it was in San Ra- !fael that we got our load,” Mr. Wat- son propitiatingly interrupted, after | holding brief \\nlspcred \alloquy with ! counsel, You are, eh? ‘Well, your temporary |lapse of memory c(osts you and your companion twelve hours' toil on the municipal rock pile,” was the unex-| pected pronouncement, Mr, Watson was subsequently over- heard to opiné that Mill Valley mightn't be as virtuous ds'some people craacked her up to be. . . A feud of eleven years’ standing be- cen John Sterling and the Issen others, Rob®Ft. and Albert, was brought to issue last Sunday after- Inoon by the arrest of the duo for \d:sturbmg the peace of their enemy | 18! his new residence on Fulton street,- | between Stanyan street and First i avenue, “Me and my brother,” Robert testi- fied before Judge Mogan, “are vwendm‘ jour way’— | "My client means, your Honor, that | he and his brother were walking,” At- torney Taft interpreted. { “We're wending our way through the park,” Robert ' resumed. “and when we comes to Stanyan street we nalr-herly wends our way along——" | t “Well, we're when the first, thin party with o < L we, Se me to step aside and; in | vho crossed the bay | Ly 2Y | tee, to which the protest was referred, i “Cut short the wending and get to | where you encountered the complain- / 0| ant.” the Judge suggested. wend—walkin® along, is this “~led” shotgun Even a Samson could not| | i | | nd I'm ready! tasted ting But the complainant and his wife and another lady testified that the language addressed by both Rob- ert and Albert to Mr. Sterling was frightful to hear; moreover, that Mr. Sterling did not display a shotgun or any other weapon, but simply called to his aid Patrolman Greggains, who arrested the profane pair on the spot. His Honor sentenced the Issons to forever shun the block of Fulton street on which the Sterlings reside. Then it was ascertained that the cause of the inter-family contention was the dfvorcing of a sister of the Issons by Mr. Sterling and a dispute over the divison of alleged community property that has never been settled. i When the case of Lawrence Bechtel, accused of having wantonly shot and killed Frank Riordan on April 20, was | resumed before Judge Shortall the prosecution called to the stand L. H. Bottomly, a letter-carrrer, who testi- fled that he conversed with the de- ceased ten minutes prior to the shoot- ing, and that the deceased at that time was perfectly sober. The object of presenting Mr. Bot- tomly's testimony was to refute the statement of several comrades of the defendant to the effect that Rlordan was drunk and quarrelsome and was advanecing threaténingly upon Bech- tel when the latter fired at him In self-defense. An ‘examination of Riordan's re- malins, exhumed for the purpose, sat- isfleed Autopsy Surgeon Kucich that only one bullet was fired, and that it entered the left side and emerged from the right shoulder. The examination will be resumed next Thursday. « o Ollie Tobin. accused of having passed a_worthless check for $110 on Roy A. Lee, dlamond dealer, applied for and was granted a continuance of the hearing till today. Judge Mo- gan has the case. T0 CONSIDER FIRE LIMITS Board of Supervisors Sets Time for Hearing Arguments. The Board of Supervisors yester- day set next Monday at 2:30 o'clock p. m. as the time for considering the proposed amendments to the building and fire ordinances and the extension on the fire limits. The Mayor announced that the charter would not permit the curtail- ment of the fire limits, but extensions thereto only could be made. The South of Market Street Prop- erty-Owners’ Protective Association filed resolutions of protest against any definite action being taken to es- tablsh new fire limits or prevent the erection of frame buildings in the dis- trict named until such time as the organization may be able to present its claims and defend its rights. The resolutions recite that many people will be desirous of returning to and building on the sites of their old homes in the burned district. The committee to wait on the fire commit- consists of Rev. Father Rogers, chal man: John McEntee, Dr. McLaugh- lin, Ed Fitzgerald and John Devine. The California Liquor Dealers’ As- sociation filed a petition with the board that the retail liquor license be fixed at $400 per annum. The pe- tition was referred to the license com- mittee. A communication was filed from Rev. Thomas F. Burnham, chairman of the committee on reform, federa- ton of churches of Northern and Cen- tral California, requesting that a spe- cial committee of clergymen be given an opportunity to be heard in the mat- ter of the liquor license question. The committee consists of Rt. Rev. George Moatgomery, Rt. Rev. Willlam Ford Nichols, Rev. Jacoh Voorsanger and Rev. George C. Adams. The board passed to print an amendment to the ordinance regulat- ing the inspection of chimneys. so that the charge for inspection %hal\ be $1 for each flat. The bill suspending for a perfod of ninety days the regulations of the public pound in so far as.cattle and borses are concerned, and prescrib- temporary regulations for the same, was finally passed. The General Investments Corpora- tion of Los Angeles notifled the board that it was in the market for any bond lul:ue that may be adverticed-by the city. The San Francisco Gas and Elec- tric Company was granted a permit for a spur track along Townsend 1 street and Clarence place to connect '\\l'h the tracks of the Southern Pa- i =‘“zl:”ml ot & itin® fe and we natcher res « arren Island. in Ja -waitin’ for us, R R atrorad byt 3 | SAN FRANCISCO tolls him he ough. « Le ashamed of £1.000,0¢ The fire started in the drying- | Marine Insurice Department, ‘himself.

He is accompanied by Frank J. Kilpatrick, builder and lumber man, well known here. He announces that his firm-intends to take an active part in the reconstruction of the city. A men i{s to bé kept here, so that the work can go on under the same con- ditions as In New York. A conversation with Starrett will set at rest any of the persons who speak of the impossibility of rebuilding the city within a number cf years. Starrett has a number of photographs, show- ing buildings put up by his company at different stages of progress. They seem to go up as by legerdemain. The Thompson-Starrett *Company seems to think nothing of putting up a seven- teen-story sky-scraper in a few months. It put up the Marie An- toinette, the huge New York apart- ment hotel, {welve stories high, in six months and seven days. The Algon- quin Club building, twelve stories high, went up in six months and twelve days. The record was made. however, on a bullding at 68 Willlams street, in New York. It is seventeen stories, and actually shot up to completion in two months and two days. To put up at that speed does not necessitate a concentration of the whole staff upon one bullding, -either. During the last year the company was putting up twenty-eight sky-scrapers simultaneously. Considering that the Thompson-Starret. Company is only one of many, it would seem that it will not take a century nor a decade to rebuild a greater San Francisco. Starrett says that the effect of the San Francisco fire upon buildings is much as it was in Baltimore. Steel- frame, fire-proof buildings stood, while second class ones crumbled. The class A buildings standing in this city he considers still structurally sound. The company rebuilt the Continental Trust building of Baltimore. Three of the outside walls had to be stripped off,; but the steel structure inside was found to be intact. Theoretically, says Starrett, there is no such thing as a fire-proof building, for anything will burn If only the heat | be great enough. But practically, he adds, at none of the big fires, such as those of San Francisco and Baltimore, was a heat so great that structures could not be Built to stand it, and the | cost of such buildings would not be: prohibitive.r The plan, he wen: on, is not to build structures that can stand the terrific heat of a fire such as devastated this city. This is almost impossible. The | scheme is to have enough reasonably fire-proof structures to make it im- and degree ol heat to get started. The modern steel-frame first-class build- ing is fire-proof to any ordinarily big fire. As to the prospect of the investment of Eastern capital in San Francisco Starrett. was conservative. He sald that it would be impossible at the pres- ent morment to say how the Eastern capital would view the disaster. “There is no doubt, however,” he added, “that the starting up of new buildings and the confident use of in- surance money by the local capitalists will do much to restore confidence, and that San Francisco, as Chicago, Baltl- more, Boston and Seattle before it, will develop into a much grander city and a safer invertment than before.” —_ New Mineral Springs Opened By recent disturbaace.
