DIRECTS BOARD TO
TEAR UP TRACKS
Mayor Taylor Says"" He Will
Have Unwarranted Im
provement Removed
United Railroads Installs Road
Without Securing a
Permit '
Mayor Taylor told the board of su
pervisors yesterday that he would di
rect the board of works to tear up the
tracks laid by the United Railroads in
Post street between Leavenworth and
Larkin, the company refusing to apply
for a franchise over the valuable strip
In question and having installed a per
manent roadbed over the two blocks
without warrant. The announcement
tame as the result of the joint commit
tee re^flrt that the rails had been in
ftalled under the guise of a temporary
shift while the Sutler line was re
building.
"The mayor will advise and instruct
the board of works to take the neces
sary steps to get rid of that track."
paid Dr. Taylor.
The mayor also has an ax sharpening
for the forests of poles In the streets.
"This board has full authority to pass
a general ordinance prescribing the
kind of pole which may be used and
limiting their number. We owe part
of the present disfigurement to the lack
of such a measure."
Upon his inquiry as to what had be
come of the general pole ordinance. It
was discovered to lie in the joint
streets and public utilities committees'
box. Center of the street committee
Faid the matter awaited Giannini's re
turn, and the doctor having reported
for duty the long shelved measure will
i>e brought forth again*.
DESIGN >OT SATISFACTORY
The cause of the months of delay in
t!ie appearance of the "ornamental
poles" for lighting Sutter street, prom
ised by the United Railroads for last
September was explained yesterday. It
seems "Willis Polk's design did not al
low sufficient space at the top for the
proposed electric "switch to be used.
Polk would not spoil the symmetry of
his design; consequently the electric
fittings had to be altered, and D'Ancona
stated the delivery of the long looked
for would begin in a few weeks.
Tliat the city can compel the United
Railroads to fix up its tracks and
pavements under penalty of putting in
jeopardy its franchise rights by neg
lect was another statement made yes
terday by Mayor Taylor when the long
list of rundown thoroughfares, un
repaired by the company for years,
was read out in the board of works
report. "The mayor has investigated
this matter from the legal side," said
Dr. Taylor, "and is confident the rem
edy can be found to compel the com
pany's compliance with its obligation
to keep the roadbeds In repair."
CJIAXXIXI WELCOMED BACK
The board unanimously welcomed
back Supervisor Giannini from his mis
sion to Washington and. in a formal
resolution, heartily concurred in by
Mayor Taylor praised his self-denying
efforts in the months -of campaign to
secure additional Hetch Hetchy privi
leges through congress. McAllister
joined all the other members in the
thanks of the board to Dr. Giannini.
but voted a solitary "no" to the final
passage of the bill grantjng $1,000 to
proceed -with the plans' of the Lake
Kleanor dam.
Pollok fired two more shots into the
administration yesterday. He wanted
to know why the board of -works "per
mitted contractors to use the'streets
as storehouses for months at a time,"
and also what business the California
Promotion committee had in Union
square.
"When poor people have to be dis
possessed it is done rapidly enough,"
said Pollol--- "Mr. Mayor, weeks ago
I called your honor's attention to this
flagrant violation of the charter in
permitting the California Promotion
committee to occupy a wooden building
In one of our parks."
"The matter -was referred to the park
commission and I am patiently await
ing its action," said Dr. Taylor.
"But your honor has the authority
under the charter to see that the com
missioners do their duty, and I declare
it is wrong to have this plain violation
of the charter permitted to continue
;rht before our eyes."
All the members voted the sum of
$350,000 with which to purchase the
crematory and its franchise rights and
passed to print the bill setting aside
J55.000 for the first located power sta
tion of the auxiliary fire protection
system, a lot 100 by 160 feet at the
westerly corner of Townsend and Sec
ond streets.
AUTHOHIZE H STREET JOB
M. H. de Young and the other block
owners along II street between Twen
tieth and Forty-fifth avenues failed to
follow up their protest in the board of
works against being put to the expense
of grading that thoroughfare, the city
contributing half for the abutting
Golden Gate property, and the board
sent a large crowd of Oceanside resi
dents home happy by authorizing the
job.
The Crocker estate was granted a 10
year permit to connect its proposed
two mile street railway in the Amazon
tract with the United Railroads Mission
street line by a TO foot spur.
The board extended the time for
grounding wires and for the removal
of pole*, other than trolley, in the
downtown districts to May 10.; voted
$527,028.58 in payment of bills upon the
recommendation of the finance commit
tee; passed to print the bill increasing
the requirements to solids and butter
fats in salable milk, and changed the
names "Almshouse tract" to "Relief
home tract, "Almshouse road" to "La
guna Honda road,** and gave the name
"relief home for the aged and infirm" to
the institution on the tract. ,
The solitary bid of the Evening Post
to do the city's public printing for the
year beginning April 1 at the present
r&tf, 24 cents per square, and several
bids on the block books used in assess
ment were referred to the printing
committee.
The fire alarm box matter was finally
disposed of by the voting of $4,500 to
complete the manfacture of .50 boxes
now in the municipal shop, and $6,500
for the purchase of 50 "Gamewell"
boxes.
McAllister secured the adoption of a
resolution requesting the board of
works to increase its street cleaning
force in the triangle bounde/i by Sutter
and Market streets and Grant avenue,
lite merchants. complaining their stocks
were being ruined by. the dust.

ARMAND CAILLEAU
OPENS NEW STORE
Business Was Started Across
the Way Exactly Thirty
Years Ago
Armand Cailleau opened his new
store yesterday, across the way from
where the first Cailleau store was
opened at the corner of Geary street
and Grant avenue exactly "30 years
ago. During 30 years Cailleau has
proved to the people of San Francisco
that he has a genius for selection of
smart suits. The fit and style of tho
garments |ire proverbial, and once to
have been a Cailleau customer means!
always a customer. M. Cailleau is
particularly happy over this fact and
is glad that- the public has been ap
preciative of his talent and effort for
many years.
The shop just opened makes a de
parture in five ways, however, and
with the confidence that he has earned
in the past as a guide and encourage
ment. SL Cailleau expects great suc
cess in the future^ and in the new de
partments of his handsome shop. The
new departments display a beautifully
assorted stock of ladies' underwear,*
corsets, veiling and neckwear, with a
wonderful department on the mezza
nine floor stocked with children's ap
parel. There are lingerie dresses, with
street and party gowns, for the little
miss with the same distinctive style
that marks every gown from the Cail
leau shop.
The children's department will at
tract many new visitors to the artistic
Cailleau shop.

X. S. McLeod, a follower of the race

Francis hotel and has not been seen
for a week. * His continued absence
has aroused the suspicion that he
might have met withvfoul play or in a
fit af '" despondency doi^e away with
himself. Owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances his disappear
ance the case was yesterday reported
to f.ie police by the management of
the hotel. j
McLeod has been in this city since
the opening of the season at Emery
ville. He lived for a period at the
Hotel Alexander, but later returned to
the St. Francis. He owes a bill at the
hotel amounting to about $90. He was
not pressed by the management, how
ever, for on frequent other occasions
he had run up an account and always
paid. \u0084 \u25a0 *
McLeod was seen last on March 1.
He called on a friend, Ira Zallinger, at
the Alexander hotel. -. He seemed to be
discouraged over his financial condi
tion: In previous embarrassments Tie
had been succored by friends in Chi
cago, but repeated telegrams followed
by letters had'- failed* to bring any
cheering response. . x- '
Dave Vinder, a friend "of Zallinger,
who was introduced to McLeod and
knew him casually, saw McLeod fall
from a car. at the corner of Ellis and
Market streets on . Monday night a
week ago. He picked himself up, how
ever, readily, and did not appear to be
injured,' retiring to - a nearby cigar
stand to brush his clothes.
McLeod is a man of about 30 and ;of
striking appearance. He : is about six
feet tall, well proportioned and weighs
close to 200 pounds. He had a florid
complexion, auburn^ hair and hazel

KA NSAS CITY, \ aiarch B.— Missouri's
2 cent passenger and maximum freight
laws were nullified - by a decision
handed down here today in the United
States district court by Jud^e Smith
McPherson: As aresult.it is-believed,
there will l>e a quick return in Mis

sounds the death 'knell, of - the 2 cent
rate in every state in the union. . r
Judge McPherson held that 'both -the
commodity and passenger laws were
conflscatory and unconstitutional.;.
The state, on the other handi declared
emphatically that Missouri's fight for
lower rates would continue. V Attorney
General Major said an appeal would be
taken .arid that the present 'legislature
would be asked to pass a new rate that
would stand the tests of the -courts.
Governor Hadley made a similar state
ment at Jefferson City. .; —.
VICTOHV FOR RAILROADS
The decision was a notable victory
for the railroads and, sweeping, in its
effects. Eighteen -railroads : were-^in
volved in the litigation, basing- their
appeal on the 2 cent fare' and maximum
freight rate statutes enacted by the Mis
souri legislature. The railroads con
tended that the rates fixed by the
statutes of the state were 'not remun
erative but confiscatory and asked . that
the enforcement of the statutes be en
joined. The state brought : proceedings
to have them enforced.
The decision says:
GIST OF DECISION"
"My opinion is that a railroad prop
erty, properly built and properly man
aged, should over, and, above expenses
make a return. of 6 per cent'per annum;
And considering all the evidence, the
evidence fairly shows there is less than
6 per cent of returns and not morethan
3 per cent, upon any of them, and as to
sqme of them a deficit, taking the prop
erty as above stated within the stateof
Missouri* at its fair valuation, and this
is so without reference to bonds." ;

BOARD CONDEMNS
THE GAS COMPANY
Charges and Service Receive
Attention in Resolution t
Adopted s^ ;
'-. The quality of the gas company's
• service and the extortion of Its charges
p were both unanimously qondemned by
the' board of .supervisors yesterday in
a resolution, introduced by Connolly
and inspired by the mayor, authoriz
ing the artificial lighting committee to
investigate both matters, hire an ex
pert as \u25a0 necessary, and report a remedy
for the present condition of things.
The direction was as follows:
"Resolved, that the artificial lights
committee 'be and it. is hereby, au^
thorized and requested to examine into
the present excessive charges made by
persons and "corporations furnishing
gasjund electric: power to. the residents
of San Francisco, to examine. Into the
quality of the service rendered by such
persons or corporations, to employ such
expert as it may deem necessary to
assist it in said matters and to report
its conclusions and recommendations to
this board." ..-. v,
Connolly in introducing the motion
said the company's charges were be
coming outrageous, whether through
false meters or false readings, htj could
not say. "•
Pollok asked If the works board did
not : have, an" inspector on the 'gas sup
ply, but \u25a0 the mayor stated | the In
spector's activity was limited to seeing
if meters were running along all right
and had nothing to do with the quality
of the illumination given.
s The \u25a0 board passed the .' resolution
without dissent.

PRIEST INTERCEPTS
LOOTING ATTEMPT
Father Henry Stark Foils Men
in Belfry of St. Mary's
Church
An attempt to. steal the copper wlr>
Ing. in the belfry of St. Mary's Paulisi
church, af California arid Duporit
streets, was foiled Sunday evening bj
the vigilance and prompt action of.
j Father Henry Stark. That a battle did
| not follow the detection was due prin
cipally to the culprits' respect for the
character of the priest. -/As the would
be thieves fied down the narrow stair
way empty handed their flight was pre
cipitated by the boot of the younff •
Paulist.
About 7 o'clock in the evening, just -.
before the vesper service, a parish
ioner rang the-rectory bell. The sum
mons was answered by Father Stark.
The information given that two strange
looking persons had stealthily entered
the old church.' now being reconstructed
on, the architectural lines of the former
cathedral, caused Father. Stark to hur
riedly visit the scene. ' The priest clam
bered over scantling and temporized
stairway searching for the intruders.
He found them in the belfry at work
removing the copper wire being In
stalled for electric service.
On sight of the priest in his sacer
dotal cassock, the looters were palsied
with fear. They attempted to escape,
but the-priest stood on guard.
"Don't pinch us." one of them said.
"No, but I ought to punch you," the
priest replied.
And bls they slunk down the belfry
stairway the priest, stirred with a
righteous anger, raised hid foot and
assisted them on their way.
! This is not the first attempt at van
dalism the Paulist Fathers have been^
confronted with since they began the"
rehabilitation of the old cathedral. ,
Building materials of all sorts, me
chanics' tools and valuable debris have
disappeared in the night unaccounted
for. It is not likely, however, after the
, treatment received at the hands of \
Father Stark that the two thieves of
1 Sunday evening will return on a pil
• fering expedition.
