1 Girl, 19, Prize Winner ME SAVES DOB IN TODAY'S FEB. 29! IT'S RARE Three-Eights Of Cent Spent For Charity The Golden Gate Ferry Company yesterday opened its light before the State Railroad Commission for a certificate of public necessity and convenience to operate new ferry service between its Clay street slip In San Francisco and Point San Quentin. Under running firs of cross-ex mination by attorneys for the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, which is oppesing the new tins, A. O. Stewart and other officials of the ferry company outlined their program before Commissioner Thomas S.

Loutitt. The application is in the rame of the Golden Gate-San Rafael Ferry Company, a subsidiary. DECISION WITHHELD. No decision will be made by the commission, it was indicated, until after a second hearing on the application, to be held tomorrow in the San Rafael city hall. The hearing in the Marin county seat was granted on the petition of a group of citlaens who attended the ses-6lon here yesterday.

"We are. not going: into a new community," Stewart told the commission. "We are merely serving our present territory, but from a different, and we feel a more advantageous standpoint, tor some of our patrons. The new line, with but a small capital expenditure, would afford considerable relief to the present acute situation in Sau-Jalito, and end congestion on the Corte Madera grade between Sau-saltto and San Rafael." ECONOMIES CITED. Economies in time and hauling costs for trucking traffic will be affected by the new route, Stewart by diverting this slow-moving business from the Corte Madera grade, and thus clearing the way for pleasure vehicles.

Trucks average an hour and a half, or more, from San Rafael to San Fran-eiseo, Stewart pointed out, white ever the proposed new route the clow and expensive haul over the grade would be eliminated, and the time cut to fifty-five minutes. A large amount of commuter traffic also would be carried, ha explained. Facilities will be provided for parking at the Point Quentin slip, and the San Francisco terminus at the Ferry building offers the more youthful artists. A vast amount of talent was exhibited, they said, and much cleverness shown in the basic ideaa of the Out of hundreds of drawings submitted by talented boys and girls throughout Northern California In one of the most success bringing tears of helplessness to her eyes. And the little girl who couldn't go to school on account of her shoes can start off merrily now with her books under her arm, and a song in net heart.

It's coming in, the money of mercy the subscriptions to the Community Chest. A total of was collected yesterday by the army of 6,000 volunteer workers from all parts of the city, making the total to date, for the first two days of the drive, DISTANT GOAL. There is still a long: ways to go to reach the goal of which is the bare minimum needed to care for ths 107 agencies of tha Chest during the year. But there are ten good days of campaigning left, Including March 9, the close of the drive, and with the close sive sympathy of San Francisco, no one doubts that the coffers will be filled to overflowing. Every energy of a great host loyal San Franciscans is bent li that direction.

They jnet again yesterday at mum- In the city hall rotunda, where his quick step and cheery voice resounded for ao many years, San Francisco's final tribute to Supervisor John B. Badaracco began last night. His body was borne there In state, accompanied by his friends and former colleagues, to remain until time for the funeral this, morning, to that each one of his many friends might eay his or her last good-bye. The supervisors were grouped on the staircase as the bier, flanked by uniformed policemen and firemen and a group of the late official's friends, was wheeled Into position befoie them. The bereaved family followed close after.

EULOGY GIVEN. In the absence of Mayor Rolph, Supervisor Franck R. Havenner acted as the city's spokesman. In solemn tones he dedicated the municipal temple as the over-night resting place of the supervisor's body. In a brief eulogy, Havenner assured the family that they loved Badaracco no more dearly than did his colleagues in the city hall.

Large as tb city hall rotunda is. It was closely packed with floral tributes. In a huge circle, they were banked about the bier. LAST TRIP. This morning "Jack" Badaracco will make his last trip to his beloved North Beach.

The funeral cortege will form at city hall at 9:15, to move to SS. Peter and Pauls Church, where solemn requiem funeral mass will be celebrated. At Chestnut street and Columbus avenue a uniformed escort of policemen and firemen will join the procession. The active pall bearers will be Silvio Oliva, Nick Morlale, Joe Ba-figo, S. Malatesta, Charlie Oliva and Henry Boyen, while among the honorary pall bearers will be John Mazza, Nat Cereglno, Joseph Briz-zoliarl and Gus Ollva.

The sudden death of the popular supervisor, who was killed when his automobile overturned near Castrovllle Sunday, already has thrown a pall over North Beach, where he was best known. BALL POSTPONED.
