Not a trace of their missing property could they discover until one of them hap-‘ pened to drop into the restaurant man- aged by Charles Van Falkenberg at |Jackson and Sansome streets, when | several boxes-of their cigars were seen| upon one of the shelves. Mr. Van Falkenberg claimed that; one Charles Meyer left the cigars with | {him for safe keeping, but one Mr. Sausmann averred that he saw a sol- dier carry a sackful of cigare from the Rinaldo premises to the restau- | rant and leave it there. Mr. Van Falk- enberg refused to give up the goods, nor could the Judge, under the law, compel him to do so, because neither Mr. Sausmann nor the soldier could | be produced in court, so dismissal was| ordered. CREY Jane Doe Smith, who was brouzh.“ from Vallejo to answer before Judge Shortall to a charge of having refused to deliver to Conlan Brothers, stable- men, a victoria belonging to which she commandeered while the ze raged, was arraigned and in- ucted and ordered into custody un- tomorrow, when the case will be given a hearing. She declared that Jane Smith is her true name and an- the bitter end. The victoria, which is worth $1200, is concealed somewhere in Vallejo, and Jane Smith says she is entitled to $50 for having taken care of it after she had used it to convey belongings beyond the danger line. .- . . McCullough Graden, youthful and respectably clad, is also accused of de- taining a vehicle which does not be- long to him. Holland & Kendal, sta- blemen, aver that they entrusted to nis temporary keeping a horse, har- hess and buggy, which they value at and that he took the outfit to Oakland and now refuses to restore t to them.

Protests of Many Property Owners Are Given Attention. pa The classification on bulldings San Francisco will be changed ma-| terially if the recommendations made yesterday by the sub-committees of the commitee appointed by the Mayor to revise the building laws are ap- proved. The general plan is to have} four classes of structures, to be known | as classes A, B, C and frame bulld- ings. Class A will be the familiar steel cage structure composed of incom- | bustible material from foundation to i roof. Class B structures must be made in pretty much the same style, except | that reinforced concrete may be used.! Formerly this style of bullding would have belonged to Class A. Class C| buildings will correspond with what} were formerly Class B structures. The sub-committee chairmin, Frank Shea, sald that it was realized that the | city is poor, and that there was no in- tention to Impose unnecessary bur- dens. The restrictions that have been suggested are simply Indispensable to public safety. It is planned to declare voil all ex- isting building ordinances and enact| entirely new and comprehensive legis- | latTon which will do away ,with the possibility of conflicting regulatlonsl There was some discussion over the amount of lime that may be safely used with cement mortar. It was | agreed finally that lime and mortar may be used in equal proportions. On the representations of several factory owners g district was created | within the fire 1imits, where corrugated iron walls and ceilings may be used with wooden supports. The mill own- ers who handle lumber were excepted from this provision. and. were present to complain. Assistant Fire Chief Shaughnes: said that the planing- mill district has always been a menace to the safety of the south of Market section. L Abe Ruef declared that he felt like making every possible concession to; the millmen, whose interests are great, ) but that the general safety must be first considered. -Corrugated iron ex- | teriors with metal supports, he thought, might solve the difficulty, but R. H. Porter, representing the underwriters, | and Assistant Fire Chief Shaughnessy ! were a trifle dubious about it. The| matter was left for further. considera- tion after Ruef had suggested that the millmen contribute for a high wall around their places or business, so | that if they should burn they might‘ have the conflagration all to them- | selves. The Eagle laundry people were pres- ent in an endeavor to get the same privileges accorded manufacturers, but fafled of their purpose. Sydney M. Starr and Charles Schles- | singer, representing downtown prop- erty-owners' association, presented a| plea that taxes be not raised to, the | two and a half per cent rate, =aia to have been advocated by Assessor Dodge. After the delegation had been | informed that the committee had no | | more to do with taxes than earth- quakes, Chairman James Gallagher sserted, as chairman of the Super- ors’ finance committee. that he would not favor any such rate, and‘ that he thought the city’s governing | body would feel likewise. The prepared ordinance containing the reclassification of buildings will| be submitted to the committee this]| mornmg NEWSPAPER MEN 10 REORGANIZE Members of Press Club Are, Working fo Rebuild Institution. | A little thing like a fire will not stop ithe Press Club.

LEASE BLOCK ON VAN NESS AVENUE FOR STORE PURPOSES Capitalists Secure Frontage Between Post and Geary Streets From Ladies’ Protection and Rellef Society. Through Baldwin & Howell the Ladies’ Protection and Relief Society has leased the Van Ness avenue frontage of the and Geary streets, for $2500 a month, for two years. The lessee is a corporation, i composed of several local capitalists, who property and sublet them for. business 'purposel This is one of the largest sin- gle leases effected since the fire. The residence of Mrs. AMexander Boyd 2t the northeast corner of Washington and Octavia streets has been leased to Archbishop Riordan for the Academy of the Sacred Heart, through Baldwin & Howell, and will be used as a school for several years. In the meantime the building now occupied by the academy at the southwest corner of Ellis and Franklin streets has been placed in the hands of Baldwin & Howell .to lease, Mayor Schmitz has had this building under _consideration for the use of city offices, but has not reached conclusion as yet. It is admirably adapt. ed for socletles or for large corporations, and the probability is that It will be rented for some such purpose unless the city concludes to take it for the muni- cipal offices. | block owned by the soclety, between Post | intend tq repair the buildings now on the | even Toomey, the cat, which was the presiding genius of the institution.

Outside Rectfie—rs and Brew- ers Try to Get the Business. Chief Deputy C. G. Fowler in the office of United States Internal Rev- enue Collector John C. Lynch was asked yesterday as to the effect upon internal revenue business and thej liquor trade of the action of the cityl authorities in preventing the sale of intoxicants here. Mr. Fowler replied that a sufficient length of time had not yet elapsed to show the effects of the Mayor's order upon internal revenue business, but there could be no doubt as to the ef- fect upon the business of the breweries and distilleries of this peninsula. Local breweries have lost heavily, not only by the fire, which destroyed much coBperage, but in business, while brew- eries in the interior have profited cor- respondingly. San Francisco was a heavy exporter of beer for interior towns, but the fire having destroyed the largest brewerles in the city and crippled many more, this trade is lost for the present at least. The demand is belng supplied by the local interior establishments and those at Seattle and Tacoma, but on the other hand those of the last named citles have lost a big trade which they possessed in San Fran | cisco previous to the fire. The whisky rectifiers are also heavy losers, for the fire destroyed the bulk of the spirits and the chemicals out of | O which they manufactured a strong drink called by courtesy whisky, and Eastern rectifiers have come into the fleld and are beginning to supply the coast with rectified “goods.” They are also making strenuous efforts to gain permanently the trade that was once San Francisco's. Mr. Fowler added that some of the local rectifiers had already started up to do business, but they were seriously handicapped by the scarcity of coop- erage and appliances and also because of the difficulty of obtaining good water here. He said that the Hotaling establishment had paid as high as $2.50 per barrel for distilled water to use in its work of rectifying B spirits. Many wholesale liquor men and some of the more prosperous class of retailers have expressed their opjnion to Deputy Fowler that the city authori- ties were right in stopping the sale of | liquor, - for, say six months, in the present Brisis, as they realizeé that any disorders or crimes traceable to over- indulgence in intoxicating drinks would be laid at their doors. JEW AND GENTILE WILL WORSHIP N THE SAME. EDIFIGE By an arrangement between the Rev. Dr. John Hemphill, pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Jacok Voorsanger the Congrega- tion Emanu-El will occupy for worship the lecture room of the church on Fillmore and Jackson streets. Services will be held this evening at 5:30 | o'clock and at 10 o'clock - tomorrow | morning, when Rabbi Voorsanger will preach the sermon. . The Congregation Emanu-El, its officers and members fully appreciate the cordial offer sent to them by Dr., Hemphill and his congregation. Emanu-El in past years has ex- tended its hospitality to congregations of other denominations who were for a time without a place of worship of their own, and is now happy in its straits to be the guest of a sister con- gregation. The Temple Emanu-El, which wasi one of the noted landmarks of San Francisco, with its lofty spires point- Sutter street, near Stockton, was totally ' destroyed by the recent fire, | which left only portions of the massive | walls standing. I The site for the new temple at the! southwest corner of Van Ness avenue and Sutter street has been leased to a tenant for one year, and the archi- tectural competition for the new tem- ple has been deferred until May, 1907. Dr. Voorsanger sald yesterday that‘ his congregation was strong and con-\ fident, and would add to the new San| Francisco one of the noblest church edifices in the United States. if not« fin the world. | “FOUNDATION STANDETH SURE” WHEN HIGH WALLS CRUMBLE Striking Memorial of Wrecked Young Men’s Christian Association Build- ing Remains Clear and Unhurt. ! “The tnumhtlon of God standeth sure.” This inscription is on the corner- ! stone in the ruins of the Young Men's Christian Assocfation building on Ma- son and Ellis streets.
