The San Mateo line now comes down Mis
sion street with its large suburban cars: the
Twenty-second street line turns into Mission
street with its large red cars, and the main
line of green cars also travels up and down
this street. These cars are 9 feet 10 inches
wide from step to steo. so that they, with
the strip between the tracks, take up a total
space of 20 feet 10 inches out of a roadway
that is now 44^4 feet wide. One team cannot
pass another now If a car is In the way,
and by this proposed widening one team can
stand against the curb unloading and allow
another team to pass while the car is running.
The sidewalk on Mission street at present
Is 19 feet wide. A 15-foot sidewalk Is quite
sufficient for any street in any city. The
difficulty is where surface roads operate on
double tracks and In a wholesale section where
there is necessarily a large amount of team
ing, the roadway is seldom wide enough.
Market street is the main artery of 8an
Francisco. Sixty-four streets begin or end in
that thoroughfare. Mission street being the
first street parallel with Market and the
wholesale street of this city shares its traffic
monopoly. Mission street is the main artery
down the peninsula to San Jose. As this city
grows Mission street will be, next to Market,
the most crowded street for teaming. Now is
the time to provlfle for that congestion that
will come as certainly as the city grows.
The undersigned, property owners on Mis
sion street from East to Ninth, earnestly beg
that you widen the readway on Mission street
by cutting off four feet from each sidewalk,
thus widening the main roadway eight feet.
Mission street is the longest street in this
county, and i3 rapidly becoming po congested
for teams and cars that teams and the people
of this city, who are traveling on the Mission
street lines, are being very much delayed. At
no time could this work be done better than
to-'lay. There are very few basements in this
territory, therefore the work to-day would
be less difficult to accomplish than it would
be later on.
The Board of Supervisors will be asked
to widen Mission street, from East to
Ninth streets, by cutting off four feet
from each sidewalk, thus widening the
roadway eight feet. Thomas Magee &
Sons are advocating. the move. They are

The board has begun proceedings to
take possession of lands bounded by Elev
enth and Fourteenth streets, running
through the Mission Creek, to which the
city's title has been affirmed by the Su
preme Court. The lands were about to be
fenced In by the city, but Eugeno and
George Leroy have decided to begin in
junction proceedings to restrain the board
from taking action. If the city gains pos
session it is intended to buiM a municipal
corporation yard on the site.
The request of the pavers employed by
the board that their wages be increased
to $5 per day was taken under advisement.
That we join his bereaved mcther, wife and
children in their grief and extend to them our
deepest sympathies, and pray that the God of
the widow and the fatherless may stay and
comfort them.
The board adopted the following: reso
lution in memory of the late Commission

H. Julius Muller, who resides at 2711*fc
Sutter street, secured a warrant from Po
lice Judge Mogan yesterday for the ar
rest of S. M. Snyder, secretary of the
Continental Brewing Company, and
George Lee on a charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses.
The Brewing Company has offices in the
Emma Spreckels building and some
months ago Snyder and Lee sent for E. F.
Bu'ckow and showed him a prospectus of
brewery buildings and said they had or
ganized a company and would build a
brewery costing $100,000. The directors,
they said, had bought $300,000 worth of the
stock and the money was deposited In the
Crocker-Woolworth Bank, where it would
remain till enough money had accumu
lated to erect the buildings and plant.
They made a proposition to Buckow for
him to sell bonds and he would be allowed
20 per cent commission and when the
brewery was ready to start business he
would be appointed manager. Buckow
sold some of the bonds and was then noti
fied that enough bonds had been sold to
Eastern bankers to cover the balance re
quired. Buckow was also Informed that it
was intended to start a branch brewery
in Reno, Nev.
Mjiller was a friend of Buckow, and, as
Muller was well acquainted in Reno,
Buckow suggested to him that if he called
upon Snyder and Lee he might get a job.
Buckow took Muller to Snyder and Lee
and Muller asked if he could purchase
$1000 worth of the bonds. He was told
they were all sold to an Eastern syndicate,
but if he called the next day he would
know if he could get the $1000 worth from
the syndicate. Muller called next day
and paid $1000, receiving a receipt from
Lee and later one from Synder. That was
on August L
Muller now makes the allegations that
no money was deposited in the Crpcker-
Woolworth Bank; no bonds were sold to
an Eastern syndicate and the only bonds
sold were $1100 worth in this city. It was
alleged that the brewing company was
incorporated' under the laws of South Da
kota,

Farbor says that* two women and a lit
tle girl also 5aw the affair, and both
women screamed when they saw him
beaten over the head with the revolver.
Farber, who lives at SOU San Bruno
s venue, was driving home, and when he
reached the tannery two young men in a
buggy drove up to him and one of them
asked him for a match. He was handing
the match when the other climbed out
of the buggy and dragged Farber from
his wagon. Each pulled a revolver, and
the emaller of the two, McCarthy. b?at
him over the dead with the butt end of
his revolver, while Magee went through
his pockets, taking all the money he had,
amounting to S23 20.
After they had beaten and robbed him
they retreated to their bugrg-y. covering 1
him with their revolvers, but changed
tiieir minds and asked him where he was
golnjr. He replied. "To the Five-Miie
House." They said he was lying, as he
intended going to the city. They whis
pered together for a few seconds and then
told him to pet into his wagon and drive
to the Five-Mile House. He saw them
jump into the buggy and drive away in
the direction of the city.
It was done in broad daylight in front of
Fternitzky's tannery, at 2204 San Bruno
s venue, and was witnessed by two of the
men employed in the tannery, who were
too astonished at the boldness of the act
to render any assistance.

Policeman Mahoney of the Chinatown
squad caught Sing Suy, a Chinese gam
bler, running down Ross alley Immediate
ly after the shooting and locked him up
as a possible accessory.
Beforo the gaze of half a hundred
Chinamen, In midday and in one of the
most frequented sections of the Chinese
quarter. Tee Ah Ting was shot and killed
yesterday 7 by two assassins, who, after
the foul deed, succeeded in making their
escape. The shooting occurred close to
the Washington-street entrance to Ross
alley. Ting was Just emerging upon
Washington street when three shots rang
out- Two of them took effect in Ting's
body, one entering the base of the skull
and the other piercing the back. The
murdered man staggered to the edge of
the pavement and fell on his face, dead.
The murderers ran a few paces back into
the alley, one of them dashing up a
stairway at 2 Ross alley, which leads to
the roof; The other continued down the
alley farther and made his escape through
one of the gambling dens that line the
place.
The murder' of Tee Ah Ting has in It
self something of the grlmness of retribu
tive Justice, for he himself was a mur
derer. On the night of October 5, 1901,
he was one of two^men who shot down
Tee Kltt, a brother of Jim Lee, president
of the Hop Sing Tong. For this crime
How Ling, president of the Suy Dong
Society of the See Tup Tong. was arrested
and acquitted. The actual slayer was
well known to the Chinese, but fear sealed
their lips until Tee Ah Ting was cold In
death and then the disclosure was made
to the police. Ther murder committed by
¦Ting was at the corner of Spofford alley
and Washington street, scarecly more
than twenty paces from where he him
self pitched forward a corpse.
The men who are accused by the police
of committing this latest murders are Tee
Fu and Tee Fobk Tin, both members of
the Tee family and of 'the See Tap So
ciety. Ting was also a See Tup -nan. be
longing to the Ah Clan. Fu Is a Quong
Duck Tong man and his fellow suspect
belongs to the Ping Gong Tong. The dead
man was a member of the Suy Dong
Tong.
As far as can be learned by the police,
which Is as far as the Chinese wish to
Inform them, the killing was not the re
sult #f a tong quarrel, but was a per
sonal matter between Tee Fu and Tee Ah
Ting over a pecuniary matter. This has
been the subject of hard feeling between
the two men for some weeks and when it
threatened to end In bloodshed it was
taken up by the president of the See
Tup Society for settlement. He decided
In favor of the dead man, but Tee Fu
refused to abide by the result of the arbi
tration and declared he would kill Ting
the first time he met him, regardless of
the place or presence of others. He evi
dently secured the services of Tee Fook
Tin to assist him In his purpose, and, ac
cording to the eye-witnesses of the trag
edy, both men took part in the shooting.
SAN RAFAEL., April 8.— Alfred Gilker
son, a guard at San Quentin prison, while
walking up Mount Tamalpals to-day, was
overcome by the heat and died soon af
terward. Gilkerson and two companions,
J. Canape and H. Stoke, also attaches at
the prison, started out early this morning
to ascend. the mountain. They took the
shortest but steepest trail. The day was
Intensely warm and Gilkerson found it
difficult to proceed. Finally after reach
ing the half-way station he collapsed and
never regained consciousness.
The Coroner was notified and the body
was brought to this city, where an In
quest will be held. Gilkerson has been a
guard In one of the watch towers at San
Quentin for nine years and got very little
exercise. To this fact and the violent
exercise to-day It attributed his collapse
from the heat. The deceased was 42

This is the proposition: You want to fur-
nish a home. You haven't enough ready cash
to pay in full when the goods are delivered,
-ience you're compelled to buy "on time." Yet
you dislike trading in an out-and-out install-
ment store. How are you going to get the
easy - payment accommodation and still buy
your goods in one of the big first-class stores?
We offer you the way.
We loan you the money, charging simply
the regular banking rate of interest — six per
cent. You go then to one of the big, first*
class furniture stores where the stock is big
and fresh, and where satisfaction is certain;
and when you have. made your selections pay
your bill in good, hard cash.
The installment stores charge you ten per
cent above their cash prices for time. All you
pay us is six per cent. The actual saving to
you is FOUR PER CENT.
For instance: If your purchases amount to
$100.00 we will charge you $106.00 — which is a
six per cent advance ; then you pay us $20.00
cash and the balance in monthly payments
amounting to $8.60 each month. If your pur-
chases amount to $75.00 we will charge you
$79-5°; you make us a cash payment on this
of $15.00 and pay the balance at the easy rate
of $645 per month.
Investigate this — it will pay you.
