THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1904. MRS. OELRICHS DISPOSES VALUABLE HOLDINGS |Lick House, Bella Vista and Other Properties Are Taken by Syndicate for $2,600,000-—Payment of $150,000 Binds Deal Pending Search of Title Mrs. Theresa A. Oelriche has sold to a local syndicate all her San Francisco | real estate with the exception of the | Fairmont Hotel and some outlying | want. For her holdings Mrs. Oelrichs | | gets $2,600,000. Involved is the transfer of more than five acres of real estate, nearly all of it in the very heart of the business section of S8an Francisco. The negotiations were carried on by Thom- as Magee & Sons, who put the deal through. The transaction is the largest | ever recorded In San Francisco. The | highest previous sale was that of the Blythe block to the Hellman syndicate, known as the Bankers' Investment Company, the consideration for which was $2,255,000. The sale by Mrs. Oelrichs has noth- ing to do with the interests of Mrs. Vanderblit, who segregated her proper- ties from those of her sister somie weeks ago. The principal property sold by Mrs. | Oelrichs Is the Lick House and thel ground upon which it stands. This has | a frontage of 200 feet on Montgomery | street, running from the Masonic Tem- | ple property, at Post, to the southwest corner of Sutter and Montgomeryv streets. The frontage on Sutter street is 315 feet from the corner of Sutter and Montgomery streets, and runs to within | 97:6 feet of Kearny street. The frontage on Post street is 115 feet, which includes Lick place and ex- tends from th® Masonic Temple to the Heald’s Business College property. The | Lick House is too well known to need | desc on. The ground space of the Lick House property amounts to nearly 70,000 square feet. On the ground floor of the Lick House are stores. The structure is of three stories and base- | ment, the hotel being above the stores with the exception of the offices, etc. BUSINESS LOCATION Among the properties sold by Mrs. | Oelrichs are included the northeast corner of Ellls and Taylor streets, 275 | feet on Ellis street by 137:6 feet on Tay- | lor street, with an extra lot 23x60 feet | in the rear, connecting with Dikeman place, covered with frame buildings; | 7:6 feet on the north line of Golden | Gate avenue, 137:6 feet west of Taylor street, covered with frame improve- ments; the southeast corner of Fulton and Franklin streets, 166:9x103:115 feet, with frame bufldings; the southeast | corner of Front and Oregon streets, 60x90 feet, with six-story and basement | brick building; northwest corner of Pa- | cific and Davis streets, 183:4x137:6 feet, tmproved with three-story and one- ! tory buildings; southwest corner of | Vallejo and Davis streets, a fifty-vara, improved with one-story frame; south- east corner of Jackson and Davis| streets, 120x80 feet, on which are one- | | Rudolph Spreckels, | of the Nelson heirs to the produce and commission houses; 100x 119:6 feet on the north line of Sacra- mento street, 120 feet east of Front street; lot 45x feet on the west line of Da\ls street, 40 feet north of Sacra- mento street, and all interest in the block bounded by- Davis, Front, Com- mercial and Clay streets. There are also included the south- west corner of Pine and Taylor streets, a fifty-vara, on which is the family hotel known as the Bella Vista; the St. David's lodging-house property, on the | south line of 'Howard street, 135 feet west of Third street, with 40 feet on Howard street, 160 feet depth and 80 feet on Tehama street; the northwest corner of A street and Twenty-seventh avenue, 120x195 feet. One of the important properties is on the south line of Sutter street, 25 feet east of Powell, 137:6x137:6, with extra lot connecting to Powell street, having twenty feet on Powell street. Included in the purchase of this property was the taking over of the southeast corner of Sutter and Powell streets, 25%56:6 feet, owned by Willam A. Magee, Thomas Magee Jr. and Frederic E. Magee. This gives the syndicate 77:6 feet frontage on Powell street and 161:3 feet on Sutter street. PURCHASING SYNDICATE. The purchasing syndicate consists of James D. Phelan, William A. Magee, Thomas Magee Jr., the bargain. An agreement was filed vesterday in the Recorder's office in this city. This pledges Mrs. Oelrichs to | glve ninety days’ time in which to search the title to the various proper- ties, and the seller agrees to correct all defects in title. If there is any final defect the agreement to sell and pur- chase is void only as regards such prop- erty as cannot show clear title. The final payment of $2,450,000 is to be made at the expiration of the period allowed for search. This makes a cash trans- action of the great deal. In the syndicate Rudolph Spreckels is holder of seven-twelfths interest, James D. Phelan three-twelfths, Gustav Sutro and the Magee brothers each one- twelfth. No serious trouble in furnish- | ing title is anticipated, as the claims | estate of ! Charles Falr have been finally com- promised. NEW YORK, May 10.—Mrs. Her- mann Oelrichs, to whom the foregoing story was referred to-night by a re porter, said she had heard nothing of any such transaction. “It could not have occurred without my knowl- edge,” she said. “It is probably just a story, such as is circulated every little while. I know nothing that could give rise to it.

SANTA BARBARA, May 10.—Fol- convention of County and City Super- ntendents of schools of the State, now given at the Potter Hotel to-night, which was a most brilliant affair. The reception was in charge of the local superintendents, teachers, members of the Chamber of Commerce and citi- zens, who had provided an elaborate The attendance at the present con- vention is the largest since the organi- zation of the Superintendents’ Asso- ciation. The convention was opened shortly before noon to-day by Thomas J. Kirk, Superintendent of Public In- struction, who delivered a brief ad- dress on the work already accom- | plished for the advancement of edu- cation in California and on the neces- | sity of reforms in the present system. One of the most important topics to be discussed during the convention is the movement to bring about an in- crease in the salaries of teachers throughout the State, i | Monday.

Ad- dresses by fraternal delegates occu- | pied most of the time between 9 and 12:30 o'clock, no business, other than the presentation of a few resolutions and their reference to committees, be- ing taken up. Rev. Waddy Moss, D. D., of Didsbury College, Manchester, Eng- land, came before the conference In behalf of the English Methodist church. He held the large assemblage for three- quarters of an hour with a succinct | and scholarly synopsis of Methodistic conditions in England to-day. He pil- |lorfed the prevalence of mystical .ten- dencles in the church abroad and drew attention to the inclination of Metho- | dist teachets and preachers to depart from materialistic tenets to idealistic ' doctrines. WITTY IRISH CLERGYMAN. The Rev. Charles H. Crookshank, M. | the Irish ! A., of Ireland, spoke for Methodist church. His talk was witty and full of point. Frequent laughter and applause was evoked. The trials sustained and hardships endured by the | ploneers of Methodism In Ireland were powerfully portrayed. In contradiction to the claim that all other denomina- | tions in Ireland have lost steadily in membership through the depleting ef- fect of emigration,. Rev. Crookshank asserted that the Methodist church In an elo- ouent peroration he dwelt upon the fact that Irishmen have been the fore- runners of Protestant evangelization in nearly all the Christianized nations of the earth. He closed with an earn- est prayer that the Irish- nation will “burst the bonds of religious supersti- |tion and stand forth In the light of the truth.” Brief addresses were also made by Rev. Willlamw Dobson, D. D., of Cana- Rev. J. C. Kilgore of the M. E. South, president College. A few of the more important commit- tees held meetings this afternoon, but the great majority of the delegates | took advantage of the afternoon’s leis- | |ure to visit points of interest in the | immediate vicinity of the city. COLOR ISSUE RAISED. The colored delegates, through Rev. | Mr. Hammond of 7 :nnessee, put them- selves on record im a-strong protest against the action of certain Los An- geles hotels and restaurants in refusing to entertain colored guests. Rev. Mr. Hammond presented a resolution con- | demning the attitude of these places, which was adopted by the conference. The public school question was again ! | brought up in a resolution by Rev. W. | movement, to secure the enactment of | an amendment to the constitution “for- | ever prohibiting the use of the public | echool fund for sectarian purposes.” “This great question depends for the forts of Protestantism,” asserted the| The matter was referred to of the special committee appointed by | the committee on state of church. the recent fruit growers’ convention at Fresno to put in operation plans for the co-operative organization of the dried fruit interests of this coast. The plan proposed is to organize neighbor- hood associations in each district and pool their product and hold it in bulk to zell to the packers through a central | agency if prices are not satisfactory. Then the heads of the different organi- zations will confer and fix a price to be universal. Among those favoring this | plan were Colonel Philo Hersey, presi- dent of the Santa Clara County Fruit Excange; George H. Hooke of the Los | Gatos cannery, Professor Jenkins of Stanford University, A. B. Sprague, C. W. Childs and J. D. Radford. Another meeting will be held here next Thurs- day morning at 10 o’clock. —_———— Brakeman Crushed to Death. UKIAH, May 10.—Mervin M. Mer- rill, a brakeman on the Elk Creek logging road, met a frightful death cars and did not notice a log extend- ing beyond the draw head. He was caught between the log and car and crushed. Medical aid was summoned, but he died a few hours after the ac- cident. He was a popular young man and leaves relatives in Oakland. He was engaged in coupling, Rev. T. B. Graham of West Virginia desired the conference to request the committee on episcopacy to formulate | |and submit a plan by which retired | Bishops might be encouraged to con- tinue activity, dedication ceremonies, etc. His resolu- tion went to the episcopacy committee. The final report of the book commit- tee shows the total sales of the Book Concern of New York for the past four . | years to have been $3,597,692 16, and of | the Western Book Concern for the same period $4,650,800 51. The Episcopal fund, created for ministerial support, shows a cash balance of $127,131 77, a substan- tial increase over the total at the close of the previous quadrennium. —_———————— Garred’s Trial Begins.
