PASS LIE AT SPUR
TRACK HEARING
Renncr Hurls Epithet at Jacobs
for Alleging Collusion of
Teamsters
Mayor -Refuses- to Sign Bill]
Until Vague Wording is
Amended
P^ather a warm wrangle, participated
In by Michael Casey, George Renner,
Tsidor Jarobs and others, took plaie :
before Mayor Taylor yesterday while
£5^ jriantin'r to the Santa Fc, of spur
track privileges al'ing Spear street was !
tinder discussion.
Renner used the VJrJ "lie" while, re- ;
ferring to a stateir.«a> made by Jacobs.j
who stobd bjv his g:un>, and Casey grer.- •
vehement in opposing the privilege. The
railroad company wants spur tracks \
from '•little main wharf" to a point j
.137:6 feet north of Mission street.^ A;
bill giving this privilege wast granted;
by Uie old board of supervisors and is
before the mayor for approval. He ,
listened to arguments for and again?: ;
the measure yesterday and has taken ;
until Saturday to consider the matter.:
He said, however, that the ambiguous j
wording of the measure as to the tirr.ei
for running; car;.; over the tracks must;
be amended before he wotild grant ihej
LEADS OPPOSITION
John MeLaughihj or the -teamsters'; |
union opened the arguments against;
the granting of the permit on t\\r \
ground that the presence of railroad |
itr.d spur tracks In Fpear street would;
prevent the use of that thoroughfare .
Michael Casey, president of the works j
board, announced that he appeared as a'
citizen and not in hig official capacity, i
He opposed the granting of the permit I
as the. road would cross four of the j
main thoroughfares leading to the ferry
landing. The switching in. Spear street,
!ie feared, would result tei serious col
lisions between electric oars crossing!
that thoroughfare aud the freight cars, j
"Since the April disaster," said he,
\u25a030 spur track privileges have been
granted without protest from the city.
Today there are between SO and 90 spur
tracks being operated In San Francisco j
without anything being given in return.
The time has come when the citizens J
must protest agair.ft the giving away
of any more streets.
BE CLASS LEGISLATION
"To give the railroad this permit
would be class legislation, for only the
rew would be benefited. The merchants
who -would find in the spur track an
easier means of moving their freight)
and at less cost would not reduce the
prices of their wares one cent."
Attorney Denman. representing the
petitioners, said that no cars would be
operated in the street between the
hours of S a. m. and <> p. m.. but the
wording of the measure in that regard
was .considered ambiguous by the
mayor. Until the amendments sug
gested by are made there is no
possibility of the bill becoming a law
through his signature.
D. H. Bibb opposed the granting of
the permit, as the railroad line would
block the street and render it almost
Impassable to teams.
A representative of the Howard street
Improvement club next joined in the
protest against the proposed permit.
He charged that the merchants who
had signed the application for the per
mit were only aiding the. Santa Fe in
an effort to grab Spear street.
PERMIT IS REVOKABLE
Mayor Taylor remarked'at this junc
ture that the permit was in the nature
of a license, revokable at will by the
vot? of 10 supervisors.
•That makes the matter more se
rious," said Casey, "and the merchants
who haV* signed the Santa Fe's appli
cation will, I am afraid, regret the day
they signed It if it Is granted. The
very fact that 10 supervisors can re
voke it at will leaves the door open to
blackmail. The day may come when
there will be 10 supervisors who will
force them to pay if they do not wish
the privilege revoked."
James J. Clarke, who said he repre
sented San Francisco, followed tn op
position to the granting of the permit.
Isidor Jacobs of the Potrero manu
facturers' association opened the argu
ments In favor of the granting of the
permit to the Santa Fe. He contended
that spur tracks in all large cities
were in the interests of the public and
not in the interest of any special class.
The absence of spur tracks had caused
many factories, he said, to move to
other bay points where they could se
cure these privileges. He believed that
The granting of the permit to the Santa
F«? would result in benefit to the city.
"The granting of these spur track
privileges." said he, "means the up
building of San Francisco."
Jacobs, in conclusion, said that in
dividual team owners were urging
teamsters to oppose the granting of the
permit.
George Renner of the draymen's as
sociation claimed the floor and denied
that there was any collusion. He said
that the association had to buy labor
»nd bought it as cheap as it could from
th« teamsters' union. On the ? oth^r
hand, the teamsters' union had labor
to sell and got the best price it could
for It from the association.
•That Is the standing of our asso
ciation with the teamsters* union," said
Renner excitedly, "and the man who
sf.ys there is any collusion on this per
mit controversy lies." vljjß
Jacobs reiterated his statement ' and.
*atd that he could prove that individual
team owners had urged the teamsters
to flgrbt the granting of the permit.
"I challenge you to produce your
proof," exclaimed Renner.
TAYLOR CALBIS STORM
Mayor Taylor deprecated any display
of temper and advised that only parlia
mentary language be used during the
discussion.
Casey, who is president of the team
sters' union, said that it was to be re-
Kretted that the union affairs had been
dragged Into the discussion.
"But I want to say right here,*' he
exclaimed, "that the , union Is not in
volved in this matter. ; I would like to
see &ny team owner directing me how I
should stand in this controversy."
Mayor Taylor closed the incident by
declaring: that the controversy had no
bearing on the matter under considera
tion and. was not in order.
Attorney Denman, representing . the
petitioners, spoke in favor of the grant
in sr of the permit. He said that the
future of the city depended'on her mer
cantile business. The ' track would
make the handling of all kinds of mer
chandise , cheaper and cheaper handling
meant cheaper prices, thus affording the'
merchants an opportunity to- success
fully bid with the merchants of ' Other
coast cities. He said that if the permit
was granted all cars would be off Spear
street before 8 a. m. The street and
sidewalks would be kept clear between
the hours of 8 a. m. and 6 p. m.
"If you will do that." said Casey. "I
will withdraw ," all" opposition." >.
"Our application for, the -permit pro
rides that " the street and sidewalks
must be, kept dear "between the hours
of S a. m. and « p. m.,'* replied Denman.
"But the language. of. that particular.

C. C. MOORE CHOSEN
TO HEAD CHAMBER
Great Number of Ballots Cast
to Show Official Strength
of Backing
In an election," which drew forth
more votes than any other contest the
organization has ever conducted,
Charles C. iloore, a well known ma
chtnery manufacturer, was unanimously
elected president of the chamber, of.
commerce yesterday for the ensuing
venr. The rest of the ticket •'was
chosen as follows: Vice president,
James ilcXab: socond vice president,
William 1~ Gerstle; trustees, "VV. F.
Barnes, R. I. Bentley, M. J. Branden
stein. Bruce Bonny. William M. Bunker,
William Matson, James K. Mofilti H. J.
Morton, William G. Mugan, H. F. Prien,
Henry Rosenfeld and James Tyson.
The polls were open 1 from- noon until
" o'clock in the afternoon. Although
Moore had no rival for the office, his
friends in the chamber voted in large
numbers to assure him of their in
tended co-operation. The chamber will
hold Its annual meeting next Tuesday,
at which President Bentley will submit
his report aijd retire In favor of the
newly elected executive.
At a- meting of the trustees held yes
terday it was decld'ed to aek congress
to provide for a consular . building at
Shanghai, China>, and to draw up suit
able laws for the American court in
the same city. The request for better
laws grows out of the recent friction
between Judge Wilfley and the Ameri
can lawyers in Shanghai. Judge Wil
fley recently visited San Francisco and
stated that Americans had disgraced
the name of their country in several
instances in Shanghai and he urged
that better laws be enacted so that the
lawless element might be restrained.
Heunisch Leaves $75,000
Application for letters of adminis
tration of the estate of Adam Heu
nisch, vice of the Illinois-
Pacific glass company, who committed
suicide January 10. was made yester
day by Albert Gustave Heunisch, his
son.- The estate of 'Heunisch was stat
ed to not exceed in value $75,000 and
includes 1,327' shares in the Illinois-
Pacific glass company. 431 .shares In
the Union seizer . company and house
hold furniture ' and personal -effects.
Besides the son the heirs are Wllhel
mina Heunisch, the widow, and Gerie
vleve Heunisch, the daughter. '\u25a0
section Is ambiguous," remarked the
mayor.
- "I: thought so," said Casey.
Casey, Denman- and A. J. Gallagher
then became involved in. a controversy
as to t the worth . or sincerity of any
promise made by a railroad,' until Mayor
Taylor*, asked them to desist and confine
themselves to the, matter under con
sideration. .
.;. J.. Folger.said that he did not think
the Santa Fe^cared whether or - ; not it
got the permit. He said that the matter
was broached by I himself r< and \u25a0 other
merchants. in Spear street in the; hope
of being able to handle their.; goods
cheaper and, be in a position to compete
with Seattle. Los Angeles and ; other
cities. ; A spur- track In' Spear; street
would, in addition to -facilitating, the
handling v of goods, mean: a ".saving .of
about J40.000 a pvear to: the merchants.
This saving wouid give them a; better
chance to successfully'compete for out
side trade, he said.
R. ELSwayne 1 argued that some of the
city's streets should be dedicated;* to
business.: He thought, that Spear; street
was the logical ' thoroughfare "in »that
vicinity. He thenmade a lengthyargu-;
ment in favor of the granting; of the
permit / - > j.>
"When Uie. mayor, broached the matter
of the railroad company pavihgwthe
street Swayne said that he: did not
know. how the suggestion would beiac-'
cepted.

"We : had a\ difficult time before "'get-.

GALE SPRINGS SEAMS
OF AN OLD VESSEL
Schooner Orient, Aged 43, Leak*
ing Like Sieve, Staggers
Into Anchorage
In tlie forty-third year of an hon
orable, career the three masted'schoqner
Orient arrived yesterday from Coos bay
leaking like a Isie've, : minus part of its
deckload, its, sails tattered, its rigging
patched and all oh board _ almost too
tired to be "thankful that they were
safe Jn harbor instead of \lying cold
and still in the chilly depths of Davy
Jones" locker. As soon .as the anchor
was down Captain Roth turned into
his bunk, and a solo of heavy /snoring
soon told " that his 'dreamy, of .a ; long
overdue sleep had \ come • true. Persistent
hammering pn the '- ".'door-'.of ' ' his ii cabin
had no effect, so Mate F^ Murnigkelfc
told the: story of .the Orient's 15 .day
trip from Coos bay. ;\u25a0; \u25a0 ~
.The trouble began : December. 31 dur
ing a southeast: gale encountered off
Coos bay. The -Orient was built-in"
1865, and under the hammering of .the
seas its seanis ..opened;, arid jvithin' an
hour a sounding stick showed : seven'
feet, of water lln the hold. The pumps
were manned.;; but 'the. water . gained.
The schooner' was .thrown' '.upon :its
beam ends and this additional strain
served still further to increase , the
leaking. Finally the water drowned
out. theipumps and .further effort" in
that direction was -abandoned as use-
Jess. Captain Roth; ordered the deck
load thrown overboard to lighten the
vessel and bring. the submerged pumps
to the surface again. "\u25a0 ;
Throwing : overboard a deckload of
lumber of a schooner -in the grip of a'
howling gale Is playing on intimate
terms with death, but the men turned
to with a will. Hardly had they begun,
however, than the rigging began to
part, and to save - the . spars -all hands
were; set to" work 'repairing thebreaks.
.Here! and! there I breaks 'snathe rigging
constantly Interrupted the work of
lightening the ship, but at last, when
60,000 feet of lumber hadVbeen"-jet
tisoned, . the pumps' -reappeared and
after 36 hours'; steady 'pumping the
Orient ' was ; fairly ", clear •of wa ter. t \u25a0' \u25a0
; In. another gale •encountered: Janu
ary 9 off Eureka; a sea stove y in /the
forecastle and 'two men. composing the
watch.belowwereV imprisoned in* the
twisted; structure until their shipmates
dragged them out .through a? hole- cut
Into the galley. V . '
. "We are here, and by a miracle,"
said Mate Miirnlgkeit. 'The ship is old
and the 'rigging, rotten. ;ThoseV sails
have been in ; service for '12 /years." *On
a ship like thisfal man;does not have
half a chance for; his life, a - sailor
expects a battle every now and then;

Cardinal 'Gotti, it ; did not seem advisa

being carried on. so vigorously and
when ;other ecclesiastics ' guilty 7of 'the
same " errors ,: of- which Dr. Hanna has
been; accused had been punished, espe
cially in, France and Germany.
; For.'- this* reason,,, he ; said. ; It- was
deemed indispensable that^Dr.' Hanna
