THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28 BUSINESS REVIVAL OF KEARNY STREET The Hub Clothing-Store to Be Torn Down in April. The Heirs of the Adams Estate to Make Expensive Al- terations. The Remodeled Building Will Have a Granite Front and Two Addi- tional Stories Added. The rivalry for business by the mer- chants on the outside sections of the City, which had its inception in introducing a display of electric lizhts over the streets, has acted as an incentive to property- owners in the commercial center to bestir themselves in keeping pace with the era of progress which surrounded them. A failure to do so carried with it the label- ing of their store fronts with that unwel- come n *To let,”” which means no in- come on invested capital. One of the first to recognize that with- out improvements there would be no progress, were the heirs of the estate of James Adams, who own the corner lot on the northeast junction of Sutter and K reets, at present occupied by the H clothing-store. This property is about to be improved | by general and thorough remodeling, | which necessitates the tearing dowx of | the entire front and re-erecting the build- | ing, with the addition of two stories, mak- | 1ng'it a six-story structure. The entire front on both Kearny and utter streets will be removed to founda- | ion mark, upon whicha more substaatial | uiidin will be cted, consistin of granite, with steel pillars and girders to support the aaditional weight of the two | stories to be added. There will be two elevators on the north- ern side—one of which will be used by the tenants on four r floors, and the other exclusively for *he use of the ten- ant who has already engaged the base- ment, store and floor immediately ov Lead. The entire alteration will involve an e menditure of about $55.000, but this sam is ly a bagatelle us compared to other | ints lately expended in erecting new ) L Adams heirs saw the necessity of z a start to improve Kearny-street v and by so doing retain the bus that rightly belongs to that excep- ona located thoroughfare of com- merce and trav This improvement, acceptable as it is a business point of view, brings with it some disadvanta e to the tenants. The chief sufferer by this forced removal will be the owners of the Huo Clothing Com- pany, who, not expecting such a sudden shift of quarters, had ordered a large tock of Eustern and European goods, the greater bulk of which is 1n transit for the | spring market. ! 1 speaking over those aisadvantages Charles Keiius, the president of the com- pany, smd: “While we are not opposed 1o the owners of the property making the alterations, but on the contrary are | nleased to see such improvements on Kearny street as will make the street at- tractive and keep the business ihere, yet we were taken somewhat by surprise, as we did not expect to receive notice to vacate before July, at w.ich time we | would be better prepared to move, as by that time we wouid_have disposed of the heavy stock of spring and summer geods | which we have ordered. | “But now that it bas come we must make the.best of the sitnation and geta ‘move on,’ so to speak, and find quarters sufficiently large in which to carry on our business even ut a sacrifice. . e we have the consolation of that we will again oczupy our old quarters under different condition: We bave secured a lease to move in ju as soon as the place is finished. “'Under our new terms we will occupy the basement, the siore and the entire tloor above us, which will be devoted to boys’ and children’s line of goods. We expect to be back there in six months under more favorable auspices for carry- ing on our line.” Other improvements in this section of the City are in contemplation. It is said | that the large brick building on Sutter | street lately occupied as a plumber’s store | is about 1o'be remodeled on lines similar 10 those of the Adams building. JUNICR ORDER IN SESSION The State Council Will Meet in| Sacramento City on Tues- day Next. | | | The Increase in Membership During the Past Year — Suggestions That Wiil Bs Offered. The next annual session of the Stale Council, Junior Order of United Ameri- cen Mecnanics, wiil be held in Sacra- | mento commencing next Tuesday at 10 | o’clock in the forenoon. From the reports | received from tbe various counties in the | State the prospects are that there will be a fuil delegation of representatives. Henry C. Schaertzer, the State coun: cilor, will present a very interesting re- port setting forth in detail what he has done during the year in his official capac- ity, and be will suggest several matters | for the State Council to act upon, provid- ing the suggestions he will make will | meet with the views of the delegates. The State Councilor has with one or two exceptions had first-class deputie who have assisted him materially in the work that he has had to do and direct, and for this assistance he feels very grateful. During the year he granted twenty- eight dispensations, denied 3 because of non-compliance with the rules of asking for them, and rendered eight official de- cisions. He issued warrants for four new councils. at Eimhurst, at Stockton, at San Jose and at Alameda. During the year one council, by vote of the members, was gisbanded. This was John C. Fremont Council of San Ber- nardino. The State Councilor during the year | visited every councilin the State except the one at Lompoc and the one recently organized in San Jose. He is of the opinion that the visits by the grand officers of the organization have a stimu- lating effect upon the membership of the subordinate councils and should be en- couraged. Ia his report the State Councilor will recomumend that in view of the fact that the work of the State secretary has in- creased in_a very marked degree his salary be fixed at $300 for the ensuing year; that to prevent any section of the Btate beingignored in the matter of annual sessions the State be divided into three | | | | | | | | | | during the next two months. different section every year. He will also muke a number of recommendations that Are of interest only to the members of the order. The committee on laws will present a report ihat will include a number of pro- posed changes in the laws which experi- ence has proven can be made for the bet- terment of the order. TLe committee will also submit, without recommendation. & number of proposed changes as to the duties ot officers. During the year the board of officers had but one-appesl to pass upon. The reports of the State Council secre- tary will show 1hat during the year the order in - this State increased 25 per cent, and that at this time it is in gzood condi- tion and the membership very enthusi- astic in the work for which the councils were organized. During the year there was paid 1or benefits and relief the sum of 41 85. Tne number of deaths was 12 There are now prospects for the early or- ganization of councils at Vallejo, Grass Valiey and Esconuido. . The National representatives from this State will present a report of their stew- uardship while acting in their official ca- pacity in_the National Council held at Denver, Colo., last June. The report of the National Council shows thatduring the vear preceding the meeting there was an addition of 142 coun- cils and a gain o1 13,142 members. A LAWYER'S TROUBLES. Attorney Crittenden Will Tell His Woes to Judge Bahrs Next Friday. The contempt case of Attorney James Crittenden, who was ordered to pay fine or go 10 jail by Judge Slack for wearing a loaded revolver in court while | arguing the damage suit of Miss Emma | Asbley against “Lucky’” Baldwin for se- | auction, gave Judge Hebbard another un- pleasant Lulf hour yesterday morning. When Mr. Crittenden zpplied to Judge Hebbard for a writ of habeas corpus the | writ was granted and made returnable be- | fore “‘the court in bank,” but it wae not possible to persuade the Judges to hold courtin bank, and Judge: Hebbard, not being willing to take the responsibility, dismissed the writ and remanded the vrisoner to the custody of the Sheriff. Mr. Crittenden stated that Judge Bahrs bad expressed a willingness to hear arg ment in the case, so Judge Hebbard once issued a new writ, returnabie before Judge Bahrs at 10 o'clock next Friday R HLIREN'S O L. FOR A C A Magnificent Holiday Has Beeu' Proj ceed for Carnival Week. Maypole Dances, Hayrides, Picnici Lunckeons and O her Delights for Juv ni es. A movement was inaugurated yesterday by alarge number of charitably disbosed | ladies and gentlemen to give the children of San Francisco a magnificent holiday during carnival week. The idea 1s to give all the boys and girls who can be gathered together at the Goiden Gate Park or the Presidio a day of such sporis as will most delizht their childish hearts. The move- ment has taken and the inaugurators of | the suggestion are overwneimed with | offers of ussistance of all kinds. The one passport required to the sports that will be presented will be youth. The orphan asylums are to te emptied of their inmates on that day. The chil- dren in the hospitals are 10 be remem- bered, and such of them ascan be taken out will be brought along, while the sick ones will be remembered in such a way that their little bnrdens will e lightened for many a day. The school children of both public and private scaoois of course will come. There will be no keeping them away, because the programme will be so very attractive that no child will give its parent any peace until consent is obtained for their participation in the festivities There will bea maypoledance,which will be one of the very prettiest features of the day. Once upon a time there was a m pole with its pretty ribbons held by 350 children, but the maypole on children’s day out ‘at the park is going to have its fluttering ribbons twined in dainty colors by 500 dancing little_ones. Anotler idea of the projectors of this great day is to ransack all” the country for miles around and secure big header wagons and farm wagons and descend on the tields of the farmers and get them filled with freshly cut, sweet, new-mown hay, have them drawn by spanking teams of big horses, fill them up with troops of merry children and have a real, old-fashioned hay ride out to the green sward where the children are to have their sports and games. Children of different nationalities will present the characteristic dances of their country, because there is a man connected with the carnival who has traveled all over the world and seen all these attrac- | tive features at other carnivals and is go- | ing to show them to the children of San Francisco, There will be Chinese babies, Japanese babies, Indian babies, in all their picturesque costumes, which goso far to ‘make San Francisco so unique in point of color and variety of people. There will also be of course babies of all other nationalities, and above and beyond all California babies in all their wealth of beauty. This is all to be partof a baby show—not one oi those ordinary bavy shows that you see at all country fairs. There will bé no preparation for this baby show on the part of ambitious mothers who desire their offspring to show how they can lisp the ‘‘Carnival of the Golden Gate” for a prize spoon or some other article, but it is going to be a most unigue onein its features. Then there is going | to be a luncheon for the children. This i3 go0ing to be one of the features that probably will appeal most to the youthful | contingent. This picnic luncheon spread on the green grass is going 1o contain every delicacy known to the juvenile heart, including an abundance oI cream puffs and aneel cake. Then there will be music by juvenile bands, songs by the children and other features that appeal particularly to childish hearts. The ladies and gentlemen who in- augurated this affair promise to make the day the most notable one ever enjoyed by the chi dren of San Francisco. ’ DIVORUE MATTERS, Expected Activity for Two Months on Account of a New Law, Divorce matters are likely to be greatly accelerated in the courts of California On the 26th of April a new law will go into effect which will require that divorced people cannot marry until a year after the sign- ing of the decree. In addition to hastening present and contemplated litigation. it is understood that the new law will affect the interests of a great many people who will hereafter seek to avail themselves of the law which permits legal separation of husband and wife. Under present conditions, women with profligate husbands are able to obtain divorce, and soon afterward they are re- married, their new mate not infrequently being picked out before the old one is law- fully disposed of. This state of affuirs will be changed, for few men will be will. ing to wait a year for a chance to marry a divorced woma: e sretretretants HALE BROS. ¥ Special No. L PILLOWCASE LACE. 8 to b inches wide, good patterns. 4¢ Yard.

Over $300,000 Worth of the Druz Is Now Ticd Up in the Bonded Warelouses. Consternation reigns in Chinatown and among the opium dealers of this City | over the action of Collector of the Port Wise in ordering that all of the opium now in the bonded warehouses of this City be held there pending further in- structions froni him. The amount of the drug so tied up is said to be between $300,000 and $400,000 and another big opium scandal is antici- pated before the matter is settled up. Mr. Wise's action was jtaken at the re- quest of the special treasury agents now stationed here and is the result of an ex- haustive investigation that has been going on for some time. It may be eventually shown that there has been no violation of the law in re- gard to the drug, but this can only be de- termined by.the courts. Article 20f the existing treaty with the Cninese Government prescribes that no Chinese resiaent in this country may im- port opium and a reciprocal regulation exists regarding Americans in China. The treaty makes this appropriate legislation.” Prior to February 23, 1887, Congress had made no provision to enforce the section snd the Chinese brought in immense quantities of the narcotic. In the Iatter part of 1886 $750.000 worth of opium in this City was seized on the grouna that it had been imported in vio- iation of the provisions of the treaty, but was released when it was shown that the treaty bad auticipated supplementary leg- islation. Then, on the date mentioned, Congress passed an act as provided for by the treaty, and the Chinese ceased bringing in the drug in their own names, Since that time all opium bas been brought in by white firms doing business here and has thus round its way into the Chinese quarter. Some time ago a shipment valued at $200,000 reached this City on one of the China liners and was consigned to H. R. Davidson, the accountant of the Bank of Briush Columbia. The size of the ship- ment excited the curiosity of the customs officials and a quiet investigation was FINE half-tone printing by skilled men ana modern machinery.

It was found that Swayne & Hoyt, Custom-house brokers, had done the work of getting the opium through and that the larger portion of the drug was event- ally transferred to Kwong Fong Tai & Co., oprum dealersin the Chinese quarter. Enough evidence was discovered t make a more thorough investigal provision “subject to | West and Lesiie Cullum, who'e stations are in Washington and Oregon, were sent for. They unearthed more facts going toshow that the opium was pur- chased for Kwong Fong Rosario & Co., an opium firm of China, and that Davidson was merely the agent who handled the gooas. They even claim | to find a trace of a contract between the parties, and at once conciuded that the hinese were violating the law against im- portation by those of their race. In order to make sure of their eround the United States District Attorney’s office Bert Schlesinger was detailed to render it. He read the laws carefully and arrived at the conclusion that the transaction was a lterhxncal if not a direct violation of tLe aw. Acting on his oninion the special agents addressed a letter to the Coilector askiug hiwm to detain the drug until the matter could be passed on by the United States courts and he made the order that is caus- | ine all the troubl The price of opium will probably double before the question is_settled, as the sup- | ply in Chinatown is limited, only enough | being taken out of bond ata time to sup- vly the immediate demand. Itis not unlikely t atif itis proven that the opium belonged to the Chinese when it was landed the Celestials will be prose- cuted. It isunderstooa from the reading of the law that neither Davidson nor Swayne and Hoyt have been guilty of any offense against the laws. Mr. Davidson was not at his place of business vesterday and Swayne and Hoyt said thatall they knew about the matter was tiat they had cleared the opium at the request of Davidson and supposed that the drug belonged to him. FREE PUBLIO LIBRARY. Additions That Have Been Made With a View to Add to Its Usefulness. A number of additions bave recently been made in the Free Public Library ready valuable educational branch main- tained at the expen«e of the municipality. A number of new cases have been added on the upper floor for the placing therein of alarge number of books that are not Irequently called for. This will give more shelfroom on the main floor of the library | for new books that are being counstantly added. In the reference-room, which every day 1s crowded by those in search of data which is to be obtained from the books that are stored on the shelves, there has been added a setof new sheives, which are to be used to accommodata the very complete file of Patent Office books and | papers that are to be found in that room. A map case and desk has also been added in the room. In the drawers are stored the rolled mapsand the desk is to open these maps on. Experience has shown that maps kept in that form are more sc- cesslxble than those that are hung on a wall. The cases that haye been placed on the upper floor and which are to be used to hold the overflow number fourteen, and the changes in the reference-room will ad- mit of the placing of 1500 additional vol- umes there and then thatroom will con- tain about 6000 volumes. ————— Park Music To-Day.

Present | were the four Police Judges, Campbell, | Conlan, Low and Joachimsen; the com- | mittee, composed of Oscac Lewis, Isidor Jacobs, A. Sbarboro, A. McLaughlin and Secretary C. L. Blethin; and J. A.| Filcher, representing the State Board of Trade; Colonel C. L. Taylor, the San| Francisco Fruit Exchange; Chief Food Iaspector Dockery, for the Board of Health, and Chief Market Inspector Davis. Mayor Phelan came infora few moments during the session, but left shortly. Judge Camypbell’s decisive words were delivered at the close of a long and,at times, rather heated argument, on the subject of securing convictions for viola- tions of the pure-fooa statutes. He acted generally as spokesman for the Police Judges, while Izsidore Jacobs periormed in a similar capacity for the committee. At the outse: of the argument Jacobs explained the trouble that bad existed in securing convictions in the courts, and | said the committee believed much of | this trouble could be obviated by having | all cases come before one Judge. He was interrupted by Judge Campbell with an indignant query as to whether the advo- cates ot pure food made the assertions ac- credited to them by the press, whergupon Mr. Jacobs denied the same with an avid- ity delightful to witness, and explained that reporters were oftentimes very care- | less in handling the graphite. In view of | the fact that Mr. Jzcobs at various times bas personally appealed to the press to support the advocates of pure food in their crusade, bis denials were rather pe- culiar. Judge Low wished to know why the battie was not made with the jobbers and importers instead of the retailers, who could not open each can of food 1o see if it were pure. He was willing to take bis share of cases, but would not handie all. The retailers, the men who actually sold the food to customers, were the men that came under Judge Joachimsen’s censure, | the Biteof the Gila Monster Poisonous? | and he believed the right men were under l-fitfl*fi****t*‘k*i*t**tit**fi*ii*i**“t**i*tfi**** #100 and serve twenty-four hours in jail.
