Tbe possibly fatal injuries which were
received by Frank Sawyer of fire truck
No. 3 by driving inio a pile cr lumber in
the street at the corner of Mission and
Fremont while on the way to a First
street fire last Wednesday evening, has !
greatly incensed tho heads of tbe Fire De- i
partment against the Superintendent cf |
Streets.
While the horses of the truck were run- .
nine at top speed on the way to the fire, !
Sawyer was unconscious of the impend
ing danger until the corner had been
reached. As it is very dark in that por
tion of the City at night, there being but
a few street lamps, nothing could be seen
but objects a few feet in advance. As tne j
corner was turned the danger was real- (
ized, but too late, for the truck dashed ;
into the street obstruction and Sawyer '
was thrown to the ground and crushed j
between the truck and the lumber, and j
bis injuries nave been pronounced fatal.
The blockaded condition of the streets |
will now be called to tbe attention of the |
Superintendent of Streets, and .an effort i
wiii be made to have the obstructions re- j
moved.
"There is an order,"said Chief Sullivan, I
"to the effect that where it is impossible j
to remove such obstructions in the street, I
during the night a light or some way of
warning the public shall be placed there,
it is also a violation of the law to fill tho
street in such a manner for any time
longer than will b3 absolutely necessary to
unload lumber or other thims used in
those mills and remove it into the build
ings or storerooms.
"For months and months the streets in
the neighborhood of Beale, Fremont, Mis
sion and Howard have been half filled
with lumber, junk, donkey engines and
scrap iron, and it is a menace to life and
I a disgrace to the City, besides being a
I violation of the orders of the Street De
partment.
"It is absolutely unsafe to drive there
during the night, end every fireman who
goes there to a fire after dark takes his
life in his hands. I was thrown from my
buggy not long auo by driving into one of
these nuisances, and I think 1 was lucky
; to escape with my life.
"The proprietors of these places cannot
j be altogether blamed for tbeirnegligence,
j as the Superintendent of Streets should
enforce the order. It is criminal to allow
the streets to be iv such a lix. They are
rough enough there without having loads
. cf lumber strewn broadcast around.
"Daring Superintendent of Streets
&.; wood's administration, any obstruction
: of the kind was hauled off to the city cor
, poration varus and sold at public a'jc.ion,
■ and that is what should be done now. A
few sales of property would bring these
j people to their sens s and teach them to
1 appreciate the danger of firemen and
, otbers who aie compelled to go through
l that portion of town at night and at full
: sreed at that.
I "Some places are much worse than
i others, but they are all bad enough, It is
[ high time to have the matter attended to,
I and it will be done if possible without
' further delay." Jg^
District Engineer Wells also thinks it is
[ time to do something to protect, to a cer
i tain extent, the lives of those whose
l business takes them on a run through the
streets at night.
"1 wish," he said, "that something
; could be done in this matter, for 1 con
' sider my own life in danger, as well as
my men. It seems that the worst ob
; structions are in the worst places that is,
i placed just at the corner of the streets.
j When an engine or truck is running to a
\ fire it is impossible to see any danger until
; they set right on top of it, and then it is
I too lale to stop. It is a wonder tbat many
of us have not already been killed waile
i going to fires in the lower portions of the
city. The streets in many places are so
obstructed that it is impossible to turn a
truck around after driving into the street.
making it necessary to urive around the
block. It is time the nuisance was
stopped."
Yesterday Chief Sullivan had gome
photographs taken of the corner and ob
structions where Sawyer was injured, as
we.l as visiting other places in me same
; condition. Over 150 places were found
' where the street obstruction ordinance
was being violated, and the records will
be kept for lota re reference.
The place most bitterly complained of
by the department is at 105 Fremont
street. At that piece lumber is piled in
the street to such an extent that it is im
possible for two trucks to pass through at
the same time. At 103 Fremont street
old boilers and scrap iron cover one-third
of the width oi the street- At 309 Folsom
street it was seen that donkey engines,
pieces of machinery and old iron were
piled in the street within two feet ot the
car tracks. At 228 Fremont street pieces
of iron and pointed castings extend over
twelve feet beyond the curb. Lumber
was piled in the street at 212 Fremont six
feet hig*i and twice a-» wide. At 121-123
Beale old trucks and junk were scattered
from th; sidewalk to the middle of the
street. The wheels of the trucks have
been taken off, which would make it im
possible to remove them from the way of
the department in case of fire there. At
137 Beale junk and scrap iron were piled
in the street which extender! ten or twelve
feet irom lhe curb. At Beale and Folsom
there was more junk and scrap iron in the
street and a tender of a locomotive, which
took up about one-third of the width of
the street. On the northwe-t corner of
Harrison and Main streets there was a
pile of easting molds over six feet high,
it extended into the street for ten feet.
At 11" Main street Jumter was piled in
places which almost completely obstruct
ed the street. Liim bet was also piled in
the same manner at 30 Spear street.
HALL OF JUSTICE.
Not a Laborer 3lade an Appearance at
the Site All Day Yea
terday.
.Not a. sound was heard yesterday in the in
clcsure where the Hall of Justice may some
day stand. , Not a laborer made an appearance
and may not for a week or two. No more
work will be done until the stone and Iron
frame are delivered at the sue. Just when
that will be Is not known, but it is hoped by
the Kearny-street property-owners that the
ye near tcttire will see "the arrival ot tue
building material.
Bateman Bros., the contractors having In
charge the erecilon of the now municipal
building, say tliey legally have three months
in which to complete tho structure, at dat
the expiration of that time they will have
finished their work to the satisfaction of alt
interested persons.
An interesting it tie point in connection
with the di. ay on the building is regarding
the superintendent and inspector. The sal
aries of those two officials aggregate $400 a
month, and although there is nothing (or
them to do and will not be for some time to
come, they receive their pay regularly. , •;>

THE SAN -FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1897.
COME TO COACH
STANFORD MEN
George Brooke, Pennsyl
vania's Greatest Full
back, Is Here.
A Powerful Young Athlete Who
Is King of Football
Kickers.
Met Last Night by Old Stanford
Students and Will Go to Palo
Alto To-Day.
George H. Brooke of New Jersey, the
University of Pennsylvania's greatest full
back, arrived at the Palace Hotel last nieht
direct from Philadelphia. He has come
to coach the Stanford football team, and
will go down to Palo Alto to-day.
Brooke wjs graduated from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania a year ago with
the class of ' 96. He is now fitting for the
bar. Before entering college he was cap
tain of the Swarthmore preparatory
school team. Daring his university ca
reer he was varsity fullback for three
years, and received the highest praise
irom the best football authorities in the
country.
When Casper Whitney, at the close of
1 the season of 1895, named his all- America
team, composed of the best eleven play
ers to be found in America, he wrote:
j "There is no difficulty in choosing a full
! back. Brooke is unquestionably entitled
J to that distinction, for hi- marvelous
! kicking,, which includes proficiency in
I every department of that game, his line-
I bucking and his running through a broken
I field. Not sine* Butierworth has another
! such an all-round fullback been developed,
j and although Broone excels Butterworth
j in drop-kicking their punting is about
even, and Butterworth is superior in ad
vancing the ball."
In the Harvard-Pennsylvania game of
1895 Brooke's field goal won the game for
Pennsylvania.
In figure Brooke resembles Franken
\ heimer, Stanford's veteran bucking half,
j only he is larger and taller. He weigh*
! 185 pounds with hi clothes and is 5 feet 9
j inches in height. His appearance imme
! diately suggests the powerful young ath
! lete.
He dresses well, is smooth shaven, has
clear-cut features and large blue eyes, and
his hair is a compromise between Berke
ley gold and Palo Alio cardinal.
He was met at ihe Oakland mole and
escorted to this city by the following
Stanford men: Football Manager iSwitz" r
'98, who was on the debating team that,
defeated Berkeley la*t year; Student Body
Treasurer Pomeroy '97; Dave Brown '97,
ex-football manager, tx- track manager
and ex-track captain ; "Jack" Sheehan 'Do.
ex-varsity baseball captain; and "Billy"
Harrelson '95, ex-varsity quarterback.
Brooke says that he believes in Hard
work. A wel'-develcped second eleven is
the foundation for a successful team. A
kicker must have the natural knack or he
cannot be mmle a pood punter.
The Chinese slaves read what The Star has
to say. *
