THE BEAUTIFUL. n day the Burnham committee for the beautification of 3 several business men representing the North Central rovement Association at a meeting arranged for discussing the posed “city beautiful.” It was the beautiful and the practical brought face to face. After hearing the views of those desirous of rearranging”the ets of the city on ornamental lines, the business men entered vigorous protest against any wholesale rearrangement of the streets from a business point of view. The arguments on both sides were fully set forth in Friday’s Call. Looking at the question calmly, it appears to have two sides. It is the old story of the gold and silver shield, over which the two knights fought, which, as children, we used to read in our school readers. There is the practical agd business side, and there is the poetical and beautiful side. Each is right in its own province and wrong out of it. There should be no friction over this matter. Let the business men, who know what the commercial necessities of their great and important district are, be the judges thereof, and let the beautification \ committee confine their praiseworthy improvements to the residen- tial sections and parks. Nobody will say them nay. If they can make these also important districts more symmetrical, handsome and attractive to strangers, either by mew parks, finer and more varied edifices and picturesque and pleasant streets and drives, fone will ac- cord them readier co-operation than the business men themselves. {ia lieu of burnished counters. But as for the downtown districts the business men know best. They are perfectly conversant with the facilities required by. the cur- rents of general trade. They know where these financial and com- mercial currents flow and where their channels should be. They might be made more pleasing to the eye in arrangement, perhaps, but would they be as convenient to the trucks and wagons that haul merchandise to and from the wholesale stores and warehouses and the retail shops, railroad terminals and wharves? That is the ques- tion. It would appear a wise procedure to leave the downtown busi- ness men to build up their part of the city as their knowledge of their mercantile needs suggests. They know these needs best. Then if the beautification committee want to lay out a handsomer city in the residential and suburban districts, nobody. will object to their doing it; but, on the contrary, will render them every possible assistance and co-operation. The matter seems simple enough and should occa- sion no friction whatever. Let the practical rule in trade and the beautiful rule in homes and recreation. Denies Ridiculous Story. f Justice Beatty most emphatically es the story printed in a morning paper that the Bupreme Court would af- firm all appeals that are pending. It is stated positively that all appeals will be adjudged on_their respective merits as heretofore. The Chief Justice yesterday admitted sixteen graduates of v College to practice in the he State. He hoped that they would pick up much business, but sug- gested that they might do =o better out- side of San Francisco. - Snfoc s 4 JIRESRSIE O’Keefe's Liguor Confiscated.

Men of Financhl World Back in Their Former Premises. The commercial banks of San Fran- cisco moved yesterday to their former places of business as fast as possible in the old banking and wholesaling center of the city. Through ruined streets, in which crumbling' walls and heaped debris gave mejancholy evi- dence of the great fire, golden coins, carefully guarded, not less fully watched and protected books and se- curities and bank -officials were given | a ride in express wagons, with gun- men as an accompaniment. A singular and picturesque spectacle. Since the fire the commercial banks have been housed in mansions in the unburned portion of the city in the Western Addition. Drawing-rooms have been daily used for banking quarters. On costly tables, amid artistic surroundings, gold coins have been stacked, shuffled with the deft manipulation of skilled tellers and disbursed in settlement of checks and drafts. Improvised platforms. furnished standing room for business men to occupy and do business with the banks across window sills pro- vided temporarily with wooden ledges Family portraits and works of art have hung| on the walls that resounded to the merry jingle of money. Scores of automobiles have been used to bring the persons having banking business to transact to yards faced with aristocratic looking gates and reveling in fine, broad lawns and flower beds of great beauty. Lean men and fat men, emulating the agility of goats, have toiled up and down the steepest grades on foot to have con- ference with the financiers of the city in the several commercial banks, Resi- dences known the land over for the functions that have taken place In them have been placarded with cheap cottop bannerets, on which the names of banks were painted or stenciled. Yesterday brought an end to the | nnique and unparalieled banking con- | ditlons and environments, The signs came down. The doors were closed. The bankers were anxious to get down- town to their vaults and former busi- ness haunts. The banks that are able to ues their former premises went home in part, yesterday and will finish moving today. For some days after thy fire the bank vaults loomed dim ¢®d ghostly amid the wreckage of bank structures. After some clearing away the time ar- rived when it was deemed to be safe to open the vault doors. In all cases the contents were found to have been fully presefved. After that carpenters and others have worked night and day to get premises in readiness for the re- sumption of business. Great headway in this direction was made during the last week. Consequently it was deter- mined to move gt once. The clearing-house held no meeting| vesterday. The checks that were due on April 17 were cleared. Those sub- sequently becoming due will be cleared tomorrow in the Mercantile Trust Company building, which will be the headquarters of the institution for the present. The clinking of coins that took place in the western part of the city when the assets were packed up for moving was duplicated when the vaults were opened for their reception downtown. That sound signalized the removal of the financial and banking center of the city back to its former locality. ettt bl BUILER MAKERS AND ~ SHIP BUILOERS WANT PAY FOR OVERTIME Organization Deplores Calamity, but Contends Nine Hours' Work Each Day Is Just and Proper. At a joint meeting of lodges Nos. 25, 205 and 410 of the Brotherhood of Boiler-makers and Iron Ship Builders of America, a report was made that a firm refused to pay extra wages for overtime to some of the members. The following resolution was , therefore adopted: Whereas, while we deplore the dire calamity that has befallen our fair city we do not deem it proper or just that our members should work more than nine hours for straight time; therefore, be it Resolved, That all members of this brotherhood live up to the constitution and by-laws of our local lodges. Fur- thermore, the restaurant and hotel-keep- ers and landlords in the unburned dis- trict have advanced their prices from 40 to 80 per cent over the prices that pre- vailed before April 18, 1906; and Whereas, If these unscrupulous persons continue to charge exorbitant prices we will naturally have to ask an increase in wages. Be it Resclved. That we trust and hope ‘that these people will see thelr folly, and not continue to overcharge the loyal citizens that have stayed by our city and are ready and willing to upbuild the greater 8an Francisco under the same conditions that prevailed before the catastrophe. A. D. Porter, busines agent of the organization, has been in receipt of a weekly chck for $160 from Eastern lodges ever since the calamity. The money Is being applied to the rellef of members. The rellef committee is established at 1235 Golden Gate ave- nue, where blanks as to the relief desired may be filled out. The meetings of the tocal lodges are held every Monday evening at Po- trero Opera-houde, Tennessee street, near Eighteenth. SPECIAL NOTICE.

Splendid Bullding Will Re- ' place Former Unsightly Shacks. . ‘When the fire cleaned out the; wooden shacks on the south side of Market street, it cleaned them out forever. Steel and stone will be the materials used on the south side, as well as on the north, and the zone of ' the class A buildings will reach far out the main thoroughfare. One of the proofs of this is the announce- ment that Edward F. Delger, an Oakland capitalist, wil] erect a 10- story class A structure on the north- west corner of Sixth and Market streets. 7 A row of unsightly shacks covered this slte before the fire. They might have remained there for years had it not been for the disaster. Like other , farsighted business men, Delger real- izes that nothing can mar the future of San Francisco. He has decided to rebuild with a view to permanency. Plans for the new building have ; already been completed by Architects ; Herman Barth and Loring P. Rix- | i ford. The lower story will be used for stores and the nine other floors for offices. The building will cost over $300,000. This building will be as fireproof as steel and stone can make it. The wainscoting will be of marble and the floors of reinforceR, concrete. There will be two eleviedrs in the build- ing. The entire lot, 50 by 110 feet,) will be covered by the structure. Plans are now being drawn by Wil- jllam Curlett, architect, for a hew) two-story building for the San Fran- clsco Stock and Bond Exchange, to be erected on the site of the old Bush-street Theater on Bush streets between Kearny and Montgomery. The lot, which is 68:9x137:6 feet, has been leased for a term from the Shiels estate. The building will be of cor- rugated iron, with an ornamental rus- tic front and mansard roof.
