J At various times it has been reported that the property had been finally bought by the heirs of the Crocker es- tate, but these have repeatedly proved to be false. Still the fence stood and a new generation talked abovt it and tourists asked questions about it. Charles Crocker prepared to cap Nob Hill with his mansion.

This will be the first affair of its kind that the organization of | commercial men has held since 1892. The original plan was to honor Gov- ernor Taft with a feast and brilliant speeches, but since that official has | announced his intention of taking only | a birdseye view of this city from the deck of a Government tug it was de- cided to hold the festivities without | him. The banqueters will hear a large | number of eloquent addresses by men | prominent in most of the higher walks | of life. No pains will be spared to make the affair successful from every point of view. Some of those who will speak nre‘ Charles Spear of the Harbor Commis- jon, University Presidents Wheeler | and Jordan, Professors Bernard Mosea} and Carl Plehn, Hugh Cralg, ex-presi- | dent of the Chamber of Commerce, and | H. D. Loveland, president of the Pa- cific Coast Manufacturers’ and Jobbers’ Assocglation.

At the first meeting of the trustees following the annual meeting of the chamber yesterday resolutions were adopted favoring the installation of a pneumatic tube service for mails in San Francisco, and requesting the | ‘Washington authorities to permit beef JANUARY 20, 1904. WARFIELD NAY CIVE [P ROTEL Manager of the California and Owners Are Contending Over Provisions of a New Lease MATTER IS IN ABEYANCE pL L i On a Decision From the Mae- donoughs Depends Whether Present Lessee Will Remain gl B0 Sraavs Unless General Warfield, lessee of the California Hotel, and the owners of that property, among them William O'Brien Macdonough, soon arrive at some satisfactory agreement regarding a new lease of the well-known Bush street hostelry, its present manager will retire on May 1. The present lease of the hotel expires on the last day of April and in anticipation of this fact General Warfield and the local agents of the owners have been trying to ar- range for a new lease of the property. The owners have notified General War- field that an advance in the rental of thé hotel will be demanded upon the renewal of his present lease and have inserted other provisions in the docu- ment which have made it objectionable to the lessee. Several conferences be- tween the interested parties have been held, but with no satisfactory result, and it was finally decided to refer the entire matter to representatives of the Macdonough property in the East. To them General Warfield's objections and his suggestions of modifications of the terms of the proposed new lease have been submitted and on their answer depends entirely the future of the Cali- fornia Hotel in so far as the general's | interest in it is concerned. The local representatives of Williamn O’B. Macdonough stated yesterday that there was nd unfriendly feeling in the matter, for they fully recognized the fact that under General Warfield's stewardship, covering the last ten years, the California Hotel had been conducted in a very satisfactory man- sold to the navy on this coast to be California E.

Brnestina Schmindt filed a petition visors that an ordinance be passed providing that “any male person over the age of 21 upon being proposed to by an unmarried female over the age of 18 years and who is of the same religion and is not engaged . or pro- hibited by the law from intermarrying who shall refuse to accept such pro- posal and to marry said female shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.” In her communication Miss Schmindt calls attention to a procla- mation issued by Mavor W. J. Wyn- coop of Severance, Kans., declaring that bachelors must accept offers of marriage under penalty of forfeiting their citizenship. Miss Schmindt fur- ther says: “In this city it is a notorious fact that there are hundreds of single men in all walks of life of marriageable age and well qualified to take “I think that there should be a law in this city making it a misde- meanor for any man to refuse to marry a young lady who proposes to him so long as it does not inter- fere with the principles of his reli- gion. And I think it is in accordance with God’s ordinance that every man This being leap- year, a young lady would have the ex- cuse to make the proposal. Hoping that ¥our honorable board will - see the justice of my request that the ac- to find a new lessee. In speaking of the matter last even- ing General Warfield said that he ex- pected to know definitely tn ‘a few days whether he would remain as manager of the hotel for another ten years. He said he was prepared to retire if the owners of the property refused to mod- ify the conditions of the new lease, but he was hopeful that they would con- sider his suggestions in a favorable light. General Warfield assumed the management of the California Hotel ten years ago when it was not regarded as a! paying property owing to its then objectionable location. His manage- ment was-soon attended with succes¢ and before he had been many months in charge of the hotel he had rid the neighborhood of objectionable sur- roundings and fostered several public | measures that eventually resulted in the improvement of the streets in the vicinity and the bringing of good ten- ants into them. At present his hotel is filled with permanent guests, who wait with much anxiety a settlement of the existing difficulties, for they are re- luctant to lose the comforts of the home that General Warfield's management has provided for them. —_—e————— To-Morrow Morning Bright and early the closing-out clothing sale will sell men's all-wool tailor-made suits for 50c on the doMar: Namely, $12.50 suits for $6.25, $17.50 suits for $8.75, $22.50 suits for $11.25, etc. Every suit is marked in plain figures.

In all probability the petition will be referred to the Committee on Health when it is read at the board’s meeting next Monday. ADVERTISEMENTS.
