Consul General Ho Yow is seeking to | enlist the support of the merchants of | 8an Francisco in his efforts to secure a more liberal ruling by the Treasury De- partment in the matter of the admission of Chinese merchants to_this country. Yesterday afternoon the Consul General addressed a representative gathering of the business men of the city, who as- sembled in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce in response to invitations issued by him. Ho Yow spoke briefly, impressing upon his auditors that his object was primarily to secure the free and unrestricted entrsy of bona fide Chinese merchants Into this | country to the end that the commerce be- tween the United States and China might | be fostered and built up. | Attorney John Bennett on behalf of the Consul General read an exhaustive state- ment ¢f the unfair restrictions enforced by the Treasury Department to the injury of the Chinese merchants. He was foi- lowed by Colonel John P. Irish, H. Me- Allister, R. P. Schwerin and Willlam Swain, all of whom advocated a more lib- eral policy in dealing with the Chinese Immigration question. It was stated that the present exclusion law was not in- tended to exclude the merchant and pro- fessional classes from landing on our sofl, | and that its fair administration would ac- complish all that was asked. It was shown that the Chinese mer- chants of this city pay nearly one-third oféhehlmpt;:"l dulé«n collected at this port, and that the trade with China is al wholly In their hands. A committee consisting__of Schwerin, William Swaln““‘llllan?‘l-ln.l:- | ries and John Bennett was appointed to | formulate a plan of action whereby re- | strictions against Chinese merchants may be removed. —_——— Y.

DRIFTING DOWN THE COLOMDD ON FLATBOATS Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Moore Jr. Plan a Very Unusual Journey. ——— ‘Will Visit the Town of Blythe—Mr. Moore to Retain His Position in the Attorney General’s Office. i Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1115 Broadway, March.23. A very small and a very select party will make a very long and a very unusual trip in a few weeks. The party will be com- posed of A. A. Moore Jr. and his wife, formerly Florence Blythe, and Dr. J. P. Dunn, one of the leaders of the medical fraternity of Alameda County. The tri is a duplicate of the now famous drift made by young Leiter of Chicago down the Colorado Rliver, It is not an idle desire to take an un- usual trip that prompts the party, but an examination of a map of California will show that in the extreme eastern end of Riverside County, almost on the banks of the Colorado River, there is the town of Blythe. The map does not show any other settlements in the neighborhood, and it is in a section that is hardly regarded as a opulous one. But many years ago "homas Blyth he father of Mrs. Moore, invested heavily in that section of the country. He purchased something like 50,000 acres of land and spent a small for- tune In building a series of f{rrigating ditches through the land. He knew that it was good land, and that with irrigation {1t would be immensely valuable. He act- ually began to cultivate it, and the town of Blythe founded, when he died. During the litigation over his estate this great property was almost forgotten. It was so far out of the usual paths and so | difficutt of access that few of the litigants | or managers of the property ever saw it, | and as to its exact condition there is con- | siderable doubt even to-day. So it is that Mr. and Mrs. Moore have decided to visit the property and see it for | themselves, and the easlest way to reach |1t is to take flatboats and drift down the river to Blythe, tle up there and then take to the boats again and continue the tri] to Yuma. Dr. Dunn, the warm personal friend of Mr. Moore, will accompany the couple. The trip will occur immediately upon the closing of the southern session nf the Supreme Court at Los Angeles, Attorney General. Mr. Moore, who has Proven one of the most efficient assistants of Attorney General Ford, in the criminal department in particular, has reconsidered | his resignation. Harry A. Melvin will be- | come a candidate for the Superior bench | of Alameda County, should Judge W. E. | Greene receive the appointment to 'the | proposed Federal Judgeship of Hawall, as Tow seems probable. ORPHEUM'S BUNCH OF 600D THINGS HAVE had only fleeting glimpses of | ‘the Orpheum stage during the past { three weeks, but this has been enough | © to convince me that the programmes | have been up to standard. When all else fails one can go to the Orpheum with the certainty of being diverted. It is very handy, indeed, to have such a place to at- | tend. Having been previously denied the com- fort of an evening at the Orpheum I sat the gronmme through last night and found it the best that has happened in | some time. There is entertainment tucked | away in every act and all the laughter that one may long for. Only the managers know how difficult it is to keep up to a high standard of vau- deville and only the out-and-out laymen | find fault with a bill that is not amazing- ly good from beginning to end. I belleve in crediting the management of such a house as the Orpheum with a consclen- tious effort to give the public the best at- tractions obtainable. If there has been an occasional *‘gold brick” in the bill of fare the management not an accessory, but is more the victim than you or I. As I said once before, the bad ones are given short shrift and, un- | like the fictional feline, they never come back. The current bill is headed, if there can be d to be a distinct head, by Walter Jones and Norma Whalley, who have much that is new and comic in songs and business. Walter Jones' travesty on Sou- sa is easily the best of many essays of the kind and Miss Whalley is in the same class with him—the first. The Misses McCoy and Sam Marion are dancers with enough %mce and original- ity to do more than hold the eye; there is something more than skill in their act, which is novel and intelligent. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew humorize in a snappy sketch and Weston and Yost do something quite new in the way of a dialogue between one of the pair, who has the stage, and the other, who peddles songs in the auditorium. Their “stuff” is brisk and a very good sample of the grea American josh. A little polishing vs—(sl.lldt improve the quality of their wit and that I think may be looked for before they make the round of the cirouit. If T have not already said that the whole programme was good I must do 8o now. It is. PORTER GARNETT. AROUND THE * CORRIDORS O. F. Paxton of Portland, Or., s at the Palace. F. A.

LAMEDA, March 23.—*“Teacher, Johnnie Jones hooked my needle case.” “Please, may I have the emery bag from Tommy Tompkins?’ ‘‘Please, do you cut button-holes on the bias?"* These are samples of the questions that now fly back and forth In Alameda schoolrooms since sewing has been added to the curriculum of the department without regard to whether the pupil be male or female. No one seems to know exactly how sewing came to be taught to the boys of Ala- meda, for it is not down in the lists, but seems to have been added by the principals of some of the schools. Now the male youth of Alameda is walk- ing about town with fingers stuck full of holes, and talking about “O O needles”” and cutting things on the blas, and “‘darn” has become a popular ex- clamation. There is going to be a series of explanations at the next meeting of the Board of Education over the matter. The people of Alameda are divided upon the utility of the work. “There is no telling when sewing will come in handy,” said Judge A. F. St. Sure. “Sometimes a button gets off, whether you are married or not, and it most always come in handy to know how to get it back.” “Sewing is a good thing to know how to do, especially in politics,” sald State Senator Tay- Jor. “If you only know how to sew your enemies up you are all right. A po- litical sewing school would be a big thing.” “A stitch in time saves nine,” said Joe Lanktree, “if you only know when and how to take that stitch. I wish I had known how to take it last spring.” @ oliotie RotieN oo +ReR 4R 302 0B+RN % ReBete RNeReR omg JOYOUS BAPTISTS TO IROQUOIS BRAVES ON REDEDICATE CHURCH | Exercises Began Last Evening With a Reception and Will Con- tinue Sunday. The members of the First Baptist Church and their friends gathered in the | church edifice last evening to begin the exercises of rededication, which will be continued next Sunday morning and even- ing. The church structure was burned last October. The new building looks much as it did before the fire and the programme that was issued last evening emphasized this fact, the exception being the lack of the old tall spire. Last night's exercises were largely informal. ere was a church reunion and roll call, at which the pastor, Rev. E. A. Woods. D. D., presided. Then came a reception and social hour. The exercises on Sunday will open at 11 a. m., when the pastor will deliver a sermon. The trustees will report that the church building _is rededicated entirely free from debt. Special music will be fur- nished. The first Sunday-school service will be held at 12:30. In the evening there will be a praise service and a Christian Endeavor service.

The particular proposition under debate was the following: ‘“Re- solved, That the constitution of the United States is the supreme law, not alone In the States, but also in all the territories of the United States, whether organized or unorganized, and any law, order, decree or regulation’in conflict with its provisions is a usurpation of authority, a menace to constitutional liberty.” .
