The' general protest before: the' Munic ipal License Committee' against the granting of a license for a -saloon at Seventeenth and Telegraph avenue resulted in the presentation of the oilow- inging letter to -the City Council at its meeting last night hjr. Howard K. Smith, the aDDlicant: "Gentleman--Findlng that, -contrary? to my expectations, I appear to be such an unnooular person tne vicinity of Sev enteenth- and Telegraph avenue that "my application caused a large protest" from the DeoDle in the neighborhood.

I hereby ask permission to withdraw my application for a liquor license now pending before you." Mr. Elliott Bald that opposition to Smith's application was not due 'to his unpopularity, nor to his reputation as at man nor -as an individual, but to the corner in question as a place for a saloon. The request to withdraw was Dr. Paul Rlchter, the recently appointed professor- of anatomy In the Paris Ecole des Beau-Arts, wa for-, merly an assistant, of Charcot, at the Saltpetriere. For him he made a number of sketches demonstrating hysterical symptoms.

While doing this work he was led to adopt the maxim that there can be no perfect beauty without perfect health. to entered. into between 6aid Arizona corporation and said City of Oakland, which contract is set forth in ordinance No. 2175 of the City of Oakland, passed and December 17, 1902. ENDING CONTROVERSIES.

"The said Nevada corporation here by proposes to the City of Oakland the following arrangement In lieu of the The -protest the building of -a' cross-town sewer on Thirty-sixth street was heard ay the City Council last night, and resulted, in. the overruling of the same by' the members present, the only absentee being Mr. Cuvellier. The property-owners In, the assessment district affected submitted the following protest against the construction of the-sewer: --i. "Resolved.

That the construction of the proposed, sewer along' Thirty-sixth street is unnecessary "and would be detrimental to property interests in said district, and particularly so along Thtrty-slxth street. "Resolved. That the proposed plan of assessment for said proposed sewer Is unjust and "Resolyed, That a copy; of these resolutions be forwarded the City Council and further- "Resolved. That" these resolutions be signed by all property-owners present at this meeting and also by: the property-owners generally residing In said assessment district." A similar protest was read from R. j.

Callaghaaahd others. SUPPORTING PROTEST. Phil M. Walsh appeared for the pro-testants and said the, position taken by was" not against the construction Of a sewer if put on some other street where were fewer residents and where-the -street can be improved after the work was done. The estimate of cost, $100,000, would doubtless be Increased to 1200,000.

He would not go into the question of double taxation, as he supposed the' Council had. already received advice on that matter. He recognised that the Council had arbitrary and absolute rights In the premises, but thought it not do anything directly against the wishes of the residents of the section. Replying a question by Councilman Howard, Mr. Walsh said he thought there were several unimproved streets north of Thirty-sixth street that could be used as well.

i Howard said it had got down to an and he thought it was useless at that time to listen to protests along another line. He requested the speaker to conserve time by showing that it was not a protest against the opinion of the NOT MUCH STORM WATER. Wi B. who resides at 937 Thirty-sixth street and has resided there since Thirty-sixth- street had been re-graded and macadamised, said there had been but very little storm -water there. In response to Councilman Elliott, Mr.

Clayton said he did hot think Thirty-sixth-street needed a large sewer, par ticularly when a sewer for the district could better be put on another street not yet improved. Already several thousand dollars had been exbended on the im provement of the sewer, and he thought the sewer would be unsanitary po matter what condition the street was left in. Replying to Councilman Meese, Clayton said, he saw no reason why. he should be assessed to pay for another main sewer when he had paid for one" that am tne worn. CITY ENGINEER The Citv.

Eneineer. in rLiiur tn flonn- cilman Howard, said the plans were not nis dux ne was willing to adopt them. Tne wnoie. country out there was a sloo ing plain and it was the natural thing1 to put tne outlet at the lowest point in this Instance, along Thirty-sixth street. Another objection was that there was a legal reason for- nok going into Emeryville.

The main lake sewer is very much overloaded te did not-know of any definite plans having been made for other streets. Thirty-eighth and Fortieth streets were too high and to build a sewer there would Increase the cost and be workincr on an -uphill grade. The differ ence between the grades of Thirty-sixth and Fortieth streets was about fifty-six feet ENGINEERING VIEWS. Mr. Howard- said It had to be engineering-evidence and not the personal opinion of individuals to overcome the views as expressed by City Engineer Turner.

Mr. Walsh asksd what was the relative grade of Thirty-sixth and Thirty-eighth afreets. City Engineer Turner consulted the map and said -that -there was a difference of about twenty-two feet in the grade between Thirty-sixth and' Thirty-eighth street and -between-Thirty-sixth and Fortieth Streets the difference was fifty-six Mr. Walsh said -that they did not have engineers'. did have citizens', had reasons to urge against the sewer.

Councilman Howard-said he thought it would, be -difficult to prove anything individual knowledge against the technical knowledge of the engineer. Rudolph asked City En gineer' Turner several questions regarding the running of Strawberry creek. He wanted the. storm water to go through the natural creek. FAVORED PIEDMONT.

City Engineer Turner said the main lake sewer-was overloaded. It was no Ion gar able' to care -of the wate which, it formerly cared for. Ivfctw Spangleberg said the proposed sewervwas Intended to put a drain under his nose- so as to accommodate the people in. Piedmont Mr. Turner said that the proposed sewer was large, but when the territory was filled up with houses, hundreds of which had been built recently, the sewer would be none too large.

i ANOTHER SEWER UNNECESSARY. John C.Y Beckett said he resided on Thirty-sixth' near West street There was an eight-inch sewer there now and another sewer was unnecessary. He thought Thirty-seventh street would afford straighter line than would Thirty-sixth street for a sewer. i Mr. Elliott asked if, the witness knew of anybody who wanted the sewer on Thirty-seventn, Tnirty-eigntn or fortieth streets, and witness replied that he could'not tell.

In response to a question from Mr. Walsh, witness said that there were twice as many residents-on Thirty-sixth street as there were on Thirty-seventh. DIVIDING EXPENSE. Witness also thought that if the sewer should be built the. expense should be bcrne by, the whole city.

When the plan was drawn by ex-City Engineer Clement, witness was -told by Mr. Clement that when the plan was drawn the improvement was intended to; be, included In a bond proposition. ratv Enelneer- Turner said he differed from because Clement's map showed that the' sewer was to be built on the district BOWLES AND FITZGERALD.

M. FITZGERALD," PROTESTANT APPEARS. R. M. Fitzgerald said he owned considerable property and wanted a sewer to dragi.

it. He did not know that he would go as far as to obstruct the sewer proposed, but he could tell whether water ran up or down hill if he saw it. He wanted to know why the water and seerage could not be run more directly. What he wanted to impress on their minds was that all the water in the territory he was interested in was conducted too far before getting into a sewer that would carry it off. If the main-lake sewer was overcrowded, he wanted to know why it could not be relieved so the people at Twentieth street could be equally benefited with those at, the head of the lake.

He thought there would not be a very vig orous protest if the assessments were equitably-adjusted. He did not propose to discuss the engi neering proposition, but he did not think the Thirty-sixth-street sewer would do all the work, as there was quite a large section east of Telegraph avenue without sufficient sewerage at present that ought to De taken in.

He did not see why people in a great big wealthy, district should be left out.

He was willin gto pay for a sewer in Shattuck avenue, even if it had no be-ginnnig or end, provided it would benefit the property. He wanted to see the work go ahead on the best lines possible and did not want to be considered an objec-ttonist. The matter was closed by the adoption of -a resolution overruling the several protests and sustaining the resolution of intention. STREET FATALITIES GROWING RAPIDLY. NEW YORK.

Oct 20. Official figures of the Board of Health covering a period of three years show that the number ofpersons killed annually in the streets of New York is Increasing in an alarming degree. These fatalities are growing on more than an even ratjo with the" growth of population and business, which Indicates that pedestrians ore becoming more careless of their safety in the streets or that drivers of cars and vehicles are growing more reckless and the police less vigilant In enforcing the ordinances which now exist for the regulation of street traffic. In the year 1901 there were 432 persons killed by vehicles and street railways. In 1902 th number of such deaths grew to 638.

When the figures for 1903 are compiled the death list from street accidents will have reached nearly one thousand, estimating from the number already recorded. The list of accidents was increased early today when Mrs. Catherine Mc-Inerney, carrying her five months' old child, was run down by a heavy trucn on Fifth avenue Brooklyn. Mother and child had their skulls fractured and will die. NO TROUBLES WITH AMERICA.

NEW YORK Oct 20. Admiral Viceroy of the Far East, seems Indisposed, cables the Herald's Port Arthur correspondent, to discuss the opening of Mukden as a treaty port. "Oh. we shall settle this question all right," he said, "maintaining our old friendship with America. International commerce must go on." Regarding the alleged construction of forts at Yongampho, ih Corea, he emphatically denied It "These stories are all fabricated," he said, "to cause a sensation.

There Is no fort, not a single officer, not a single soldier and not a single cannon at Yongampho." Regarding Manchuria, he said trouble with the Brigands ia constantly occurring outside the railway zone, especially In East Manchuria, between Harbin and Vladlvostock and Its robber-ridden country. He said he often received petitions from the Chinese begging him. to retain troops and he would receive more petitions were not people terrorised. NEWS NOTES FROMGENTERVILLE.
