Wilder of Wisconsin to Sail Today to Take Charge of Oriental Post FIRST TRIP TO CHINA Cannot Discuss Foreign Af- fairs, but Says He Pre- fers California to Florida Amos P. Wilder, newly appeinted Con- sul General for the United States at Hongkong, China, arrived in San. Fran- cisco last night with his wife and fam- fly. They will sail today for the Orient. Consul General Wilder declared . last night that be was not in a position' to talk about Chinese affairs because he had not yet decome acquainted with them. I will do al! that I can for American com- merce,” he said. ‘That is to be the main object of miy work. I eannot discuss the boycott nor the troubles of the ruling Oynasty because I have never been In China 2nd only know what I have read and Heard.” The new Consul was delighted with what he saw in California. It is his first trip to the Golden State. “I wad amazed at the beauties of the Sierras,” he ex- claimed, “and I did not once think of Chiva when I was passing over them. I see now why tourists are deserting Flor- ida for California. Florida is dull-and uneventful compared with your State. Her landscape is not nearty so pleasing, nor is her climate go invigorating. The people of Florida are cgplalnins bitter- iy of the inroads that lifornia is mak- ing on her tourist trade. Many of the large Florida hotels found this year that their winter business had greatly de- creased.” i Consul General Wilder takes the post left vacant by the resignation of General E. S. Bragg, who will leave for America on April 17. The new appointee has been for mauv years a resident of Madison, ‘Wis., and has edited the Wisconsin State Journal. He is a graduate of Yale with the class of 1884 He was a classmate of Yung Kwai, the brilliant Chinese, who is now a member of the embassy at “Washington, WANT TO REGULATE ELEVATOR OPERATORS Members of Union Urge Pass- age of Ordinance to Li- cense the Craft. The joint Supervisors’ committee on judiciary and fire yesterday considered the proposed ordinance providing that no person shall operate a passenger el- évator unless he is more than twenty- one years of age, has had seven days’ experience and has secured a license to do so from the Board of Supervisors and Tax Collector. N. C.

Other citles, includ- ing Los Angeles, Boston and Minneap- olfs, regulate the occupation, said Cogh- lan, who said that many accidents oc- cur on elevators run by Inexperienced boys in apartment-houses which are hushed u § Supervisor Walsh thought the age limit should be 18 years and Supervisor Nicholas said the 2l-year limit might result in the employment of Japanese and Chinese. M. Field, president of the _| Elevator Operators’ Union, told of a re- cent accident in the Ramona apartment- house whereby a woman had her foot crushed in an elevator run by a boy, who had only half an hour’s experience in running an elevator. B. Cadwalader, secretary of the San Francisco Real Estate Board, argued against the passage of the ordingmee, unless the age limit were eliminated; and thought the employer should not be held liable for employing non-licensed conductors. The committee requested the interested parties to agree on a compromise ordinance, which will be ‘recommended for passage. | FOREMAN BRANNAN APPOINTS THE GRAND JURY COMMITTEES Members Are Assigned to Take Care of Matters Pertaining to the- City’s Departments.
