Meet! Committee of Creditors to| Outline Plan of Settlement ! e A meeting was held yesterday after- noon by the committee of the cred-! itors of the suspended brokerage firm | of Bolton, de Ruyter & Co. and the | twe members of the insolvent con- cern. | The meeting was held in the offices | of the brokers and was also attended | by T. C. Van Ness, attorney for the insolvents. | The members of the committee rep- | resenting the creditors stated that! they were perfectly satisfied that Bol- | ton, de Ruyter & Co. would be able | to pay all their obligations if given | tume. | “We think there are enough assets in sight,” said S. Goldzieher, one of | the committee, “to pay 50 cents on the dollar right away. This will con- | sist of certain accounts due the firm | that are collectable and also two pieces of realty which Bolton and De Ruyter will turn over to the creditors. “We feel satisfied that if the firm is given time that it will be able to realize another 50 cents on the dollar for the creditors. “Relatives of the members of the firm will supply funds on certain un- divided interests in realty.” The committee has not figured at 21l on the mortgage for $38,000 which | was given to Boiton, de Ruyter & Co. by H. 8. Redington to cover his in- debtedness to the firm. In speaking of this mortgage the committee of creditors made the fol- lowing statement yesterday: “The land covered by the mortgage | is Jocated in Colusa County and con- sists of 3600 acres of good wheat land. Ther€ is a first morigage on the prop- erty amounting. to about $27,000. We find. that the land has been assessed for $61,000, so there is every indica- tion that the mortgages can be made good. It may be possible to sell the mortgage held by the firm, but we have not figured on that at all in our calculations as to what assets are available for the creditors. “The creditors have not asked for 2 receiver to be appointed for Bolton, de Ruyter & Co. and will not ask for one. We have allowed the firm to continue in charge of its aaffirs, and this committee is satisfied that the creditors will be paid in full, but it will take some time. “We do not think for 2 minute that Bolton or D& Ruyter had any knowl- edge that their manager, Genung, was using the credit of their firm for spec- ulations for outside persons. We think that the firm members have been guilty of negligence in not keep- ing in close touch with their busi- ness.” Genung, #he manager for Bolton, de Ruyter & Co., still maintains silence as to his actions in using the firm’s credit for jrresponsible customers. Genung is assisting the experts in working on the books and in the course of a few days Bolton, de Ruy- SPLENDID YEAR'S WORK IN CAUSE OF CHARITY Rellef Society Holds An- nual Meeting and Chooses New Officers and Directors. At the annual meeting of the Fran- cesca Relief Society Miss Inglis, the treasurer, reported that the receipts for the year were $1791 13, and the dis- bursements $1484 90. Miss Anna Buckley read the secre- tary’s report, which showed that dur- ing the year 1903 the society distributed 3208 garments to men, women and chil- dren, furnished 177 yards of material to be made up and 255 pairs of shoes. | At the Christmas festival 300 children were completely clothed and given pres- ents of toys, etc. Baskets of groceries were given to 100 families. The reports having been adopted, the following trustees were elected for 1904: Mrs. Andrew Welch, Mrs. de Nurtel, Mrs. Harrison, Mr: Ziegler, Miss David, Miss Harvey, Miss Gaillard and Miss Butler. The new trustees Immediately or- ganized and elected officers as follows: Mrs. Eugene Lent, president; Mrs. Ziegler, first vice president; Mrs. Har- rison, second vice president; Miss Eleanor Deming, treasurer; Miss Mar- garet Lacy, secretary. — e — Opposed to Rock Crusher. Mary’'s Help Hospital, by P. E. Mul- ligan, secretary, yesterday filed a pro- test with the Board of Supervisors against the establishment of a rock crusher and quarry at Thirtieth and Castro streets. The petitioner also re- quests the passage of the proposed or- dinance extending the prohibitory limits for rock crushers so as to in- clude Thirtieth and Castro streets. The two blocks opposite the proposed quarry are the property of Mary's Help Hospital and the petitioner says the site will be greatly depreciated in value by the location of a quarry in such proximity. The two ordinances extending the limits will be passed to print at to-morrow’s meeting of the Supervisors. —_—— Founder’s Day at Wilmerding. The cornerstone of the new brick building being built by the boys at ‘Wilmerding School will be laid to-mor- row, founder’s day.

Those wishing to see the school in operation should come soon after 1 o'clock. —_—— Accused of Stealing Diamonds. Mrs. Millie Roberts, 12 Turk street, secured a warrant from Police Judge Conlan yesterday for the arrest of Charles Merkel on the charge of grand largency. She alleges that Merkel stole from her rooms on Friday three diamond rings and other articles, of the total value of $450. RS ket e e ey = ter & Co. will furnish the committee with statements showing exactly what the debts and assets of the firm are. Eugene Lent, Mrs. | CEMETERY LAW S CONTESTED & Federal Court Is Asked to Declare the Urban Burial Ordinance Unconstitutional Do Directors of Laurel Hill Cemetery and many owners of burial plats in the tract are dissatisfied with the re- cent decision of the State Supreme Court to the effect that the ordinance approved March 30, 1900, prohibiting further burials therein or anywhere else within the limits of the city and county of San Francisco is invalid. Suit to determine the constitutionality of the ordinance was filed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court by Bessie Hume, who names as defendants the Laurel Hill Cemetery, the city and county of San Francisco, Mayor Schmitz, the Board of Supervisors, Dr. Ragan and the Board of Health. The complaint sets forth that in No- vember, 1903, she applied to the ceme- tery association for permission to bury the body of Sarah R. Macbeth in the family plat, where had been previously interred the bodies of her husband, Robert Stuart Macbeth; their three children and their grandchild, and that the cemetery authorities refused to per- mit the interment to take place, alleg- ing as‘a reason the prohibitive ordi- nance of March 30. The Board of Health likewise refused to grant a per- mit for the burial for the same reason. Many things in the complaint read more like a chapter of the ancient his- tory of this city than a dry legal docu- ment, such as complaints on consti- tutional questions are supposed to be. For Instance, it is recited that on May 30, 1854, Nathaniel Gray and his asso- ciates devoted the Laurel Hill tract of land for the purposes of a rural ceme- tery, and that on that occasion C. K. Garrison, Mayor of the city, delivered an address; that Hon. E. D. Baker de- livered occasional addresses, and was buried there on December 11, 1861. Then the complaint goes on to say that Rev. Thomas Starr King, standing by Bak- er'’s unfilled grave, said: ‘“We have borne him now to the home of the dead, to the cemetery which, after fit ser- vices and prayer, he devoted in a ten- der and thrilling speech to its hallowed purposes.” “A poem written for the occasion,” continues the complaint, “was read by ‘its author, Frank Soule, and Right Rev. William Ingraham Kip delivered the dedicatory address.” Several hundred words of this address are quoted in the complaint, evidently to show that the cemetery had been dedi- cated formally to public use as a cemetery. i) At that time, it is averred, the ceme- tery was outside of the corporate lim- its of the city, two miles from the business center and one mile from any part of the city used for dwelling pur- poses, and there were no streets or municipal roads leading thereto. It ig alleged that-up to the time of the con- veyance of the cemetery to the Laurel Hill Cemeter Gray and his associates had expended more than $160,000 in im- provements over and above receipts and l:m sold to private parties more GUARDSMEN CALLED UP FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION Not Having Been Provided With Belts, the Men Cannot Present Soldierly Appearance. There is a report in National Guard circles to the effect that be- fore long, in addition to the change in the adjutant’s general] office, in which, in all probability, J. Locke will succeed General Stone, there will be several retirements in the upper grades and that new appointments will be announced. The annual inspection by Major ‘Wilhelm, retired, U. S. A., and the State inspector commenced last week and during the current month those units that are to be inspectd and mus- tered will be in the following order: The signal corps of the First Brigade; Troop D, cavalry; brigade com- mander and staff of .the First Brigade; headquarters, fleld and staff; band and detachment of sanitary corps of Seventh Infan- try; Companies A, C, F, B, L, H, E, M, K, G, D and 1, Seventh Infantry; Troop C, cavalry; Company B, Fifth Infantry; brigade commander and staff, Second Brigade; headquarters, field and staff and detachment of the sanitary corps of the Fifth Infantry, and headquarters, fleld and staff, sanitary corps and band, First Artil- lery. The other units will be inspect- ed during March and April, the last being on April 26. There is some guessing as to how the men will look at inspection, in view of the fact that they are without beits and therefore have no place in which to place bayonets. It was ex- pected that they would have had belts issued to them long before this, but there has been a hitth somewhere and the result will be that they will not be able to present the neat and sol- dierly appearance expected of them. In the Fifth Infantry eight men have been discharged from the ser- vice of the State, seven on account of removal and one for good of the ser- vice. —_————————— Revenue From Eleotricity. The revenue of the electricity plant of the Mills building, according to a statement flled with the Supervisors yesterday, was $2257 25 during 1903 and the expenditures $643 77. The original cost of the plant was $10,000 and its estimated present value is $500. . e e 3 than 3000 burial lots and plats. On June 23, 1871, Thomas H. Selby, as Mayor of the city, granted the Laurel Hill Cemetery a tract of land not de- voted to the purposes of a cemetery for the consideration of $24,139 79. The complaint contends that by the provisions of an act of the Legislature approved April 18, 1859, plats which have been sold by cemetery associa- tions to private persons and interments made therein shall be forever thereafter inalienable, and shall upon the death of their owners or holders descend to their heirs at law. Seven acres remain unsold. These are valued at $75,000, and are sufficient for the interment of 9000 bodies. The contention is made that the prohibitory ordinance is a municipal law impair- ing the obligations of a contract, and that its enforcement deprives the citi- zen of property without due process of law. Lioyd & Wood and Haven & Haven are plaintiff’s attorneys. WILL ABOLISH CHINESE FILTH Health Authorities Recommend Closing of Cellars and Con- creting of Exposed Surfaces An understanding was reached yes- terday at a conference in the rooms of the Merchants’' Association, in pursu- ance of which the purification of Chinatown in this city will be con- tinued with vigor for another year. 0Old buildings that are a detriment to cellars will be closed and sanitary measures of various kinds will be rec- ommended to the Supervisors by the San Francisco Board of Health. The Stat Board of Health, the San Francisco Board of Health and the Federal health authorities will co-ope- rate to prevent Chinatown from being a menace to the health of this city. The conference of yesterday was at- tended by President Frank J. Symmes and Secretary L. M. King of the Mer- chants’ Association, Supervisors d’An- cona and Brandenstein, Dr. Blue of the Federal service, Drs. Regensburger and Foster of the State Board of Health and Drs. J. W. Ward and Hass- ler of the San Francisco Board of Health and Louis Levy, deputy health officer. Quite a long discussion took place before any action was recommended. The following resolutions were intro- duced by Dr. Blue and they were unan- imously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet- ing that the sanitary measures adopted by the city, State and Federal health authorities in February, 1908, for the eradication of con- taglous disease in Chinatown be continued for so long & time as may be considered neces- sary; that the city Board of Health bs Qquested to recommend to the Board of Sup visors additional measures for the Wholesale destruction of rats. Resolved, That all cellars, basements and underground places in the 'dlistrict between California. and Pacific, Stockton and Kearny, be condemned as places of abode and the same destroyed; that in case of reconstruction the owners be required to remove surface soil and %o concrete the area thus exposed solidly from wall to wall. Resolved, That the work be done under the direction and supervision of the Marine Hos- pital service and that a meeting of the rep- resentatives of the Marine Hospital service, the city Board of Health and the State Board of Health be held once every two weeks for consultation. President Symmes of the Merchants’ Association presided. There was no difference of opinion concerning the continuation of the work of purifying and bettering the Chinatown section. Some question was raised as to the relative share of expense that should be borne by the city of San Francisco and by the State and figures were made public. It appeared that this city is spend- ing $3850 a month in cleansing China- town and that the State is putting up about $900 a month for the same pur- pose. The cost to the city is on ac- count of the demolition of old shacks, the removal of filth and the purchase of disinfectants that are liberally used and for labor. The labor item is the heaviest of any in the account. The expense of the State Board of Health in Chinatown is all incurred in inspec- tion. Inasmuch as the Legislature at its the public health will be torn down, | SERVICES IN MEMORY OF DEPARTED BROTHERS Exercises to Be Held by San Francisco and Golden Gate Aeries of Eagles at Native Sons’ Hall.

This claim was also based on the fact that San Fran- clsco i{s benefiting and defending the health of the entire State by Its work in Chinatown.

TWO SISTERS MEET AFTER FORTY YEARS' SEPARATION Are Brought Together by Reading a Personal Mention Made in The Call. Two sisters met here yesterday after a separation of nearly forty years— brought together by reading a personal | mention in The Call. Neither knew of the presnce of the other in the city. One is Mrs. E. H. McCraken of Port- land, Or., and the other Mrs. Mary Lemon of New York. Both were born | in San Francisco, but in the early '80's | the marriage of Mrs. Lemon took her | to New York, and Mrs. McCraken, who was then Miss Minnie Pixley, went with her family to Oregon to live. She mar- ried there and has since resided in that State. Mrs. McCraken was returning from |an Eastern trip and stayed over hers | for a day en route to Portland, when Mrs. Lemon, who also happened to be visiting here, saw the announcement in The Call that her sister was at the Palace. She immediately rushed to the hotel, where a most joyous meeting took place. Both were young girls at parting and now both are mothers of families. Mrs. McCraken and Mrs. Lemon are sisters of the late Annie Pixley, who was made famous throughout this country and England by her delightful impersonation of M'liss. —_—— Wants Partnership Dissolved. F. W. L. Dettman, who, with Gus Fude, conducts a lodging-house at 22 East street, filed a suit for a dissolu- tion of the partnership yesterday. He claims that Fude has not accounted to him for $400 of the receipts of the house. MYSTERY ISMAR. CLEARED By the Marvelous Gypsy Seeress, Ismar. James Hartmouth lost $1200 in gold.
