Coffey and Thornwell Mullally of the United Raflroads, who were unable to be present, but who pledged their assistance to the upbuild- ng of Fillmore street. In his opening remarks Toastmaster Bryan dwelt upon the fact that Fill- more street would always be the main artery of travel between the Mission and the Western Additlon. “But we are not here to toot our own horn,” he sald, “and have no objection to other streets taking the overflow from us—of course, I refer to Van Ness avenue and such thoroughfares.” 7 Norton C. Wells, president of the and the Board of Supervisors, who | improvement association and manager agreed to’ retrench on municipal ex- | of the California Safe Deposit and< penses and set a low tax rate, that cap- Trust Company, responded first to the toastmaster's call. He spoke on the subject, “The Association and What It Stands For.” He told of how the asso- ciation was first organized in a Fill- more-street carbarn eight months ago, the moving spirits being J. W. Raphael, I Rosenthal and R. A. Roos. He dis- cussed the progress of the street from the days immediately after the fire, when it looked like a country fair, un- L1 now it has developed into a cosmo- | politan thoroughfare through the ef- forts of the improvement association. ‘We are here to stay,” he declared. “Surely in ten years we shall have 1,- 000,000 inhabitants and we shall ha: , more than one shopping district. We | should have three: one downtown, an- | other in the Western Addition and a third in the Mission. Nothing on earth can stop the growth of San Francisco, not even another—fire. And Filimore is the leading night and day street in San Francisco.” | Acting Mayor James L. Gallagher fol- |lowed. He reverted to the history of the days following April 18 and spoke | of the self-reliance and strength of | character of the San Francisco business | | men, who, as sogn as circumstances | permitted, got to work and laid the | foundation for the future greatness of | Ban Francisco. : | Gallagher sald that it was largely | through the acts of the administration ital was encouraged to come into the city and enable business to resume its course. In closing Gallagher spoke en- thusiastically of the future of Fillmore | street as a business center. | Ernest £ Simpson, managing editor | of Tne Call, spoke on “The Attitude of | the Press Concerning Fillmore Street “The message I bring,” said he, “is one of co-operation and good will. The | newspaper will listen to what you have to say. Fillmore street was, after the fire, the rallying point of the industrial |and commercial life of San Francisco. | The spirit of 1906 was the spirit of '76 and ’49 rolled Into one.” In conclusion he stated that the'newspapers and the | He spoke of the work he has accom- | plished since being appointed head of 5 4 Fillmore-street Assoclation were a unit in promoung the interests of the city. At the conclusion of his remarks a toast was drank to the press and the city. _ One of the strongest speeches of the evening was made by President George Duffey of the Board of Public Works. the department and complimented Su- pervisor Gallagher on the aid rendered him. “1 want to see Fillmore street what it is and what it ought to be,” said he, “the leading business street of San Francisco. 1 want to say this to all the men of Fillmore streat. You have money to improve the street and I want you to turn it over to me. I'll spend it for you and every 5 cent piece will be honestly spent, I pledge my word to it Public Administrator Joseph A. Stulz, | who first went into business on Fill-| more street twenty years ago and has been there ever since, told of his ex-| periences on the street. He responded | to the subject, “Why T am not busy| in my official capacity on Fillmore | street.” He was followed by Secretary | Robert A. Rees, who spoke of the work | of improving Fillmore street with bet- ter pavements and lights. A system | of ninety-six electric arches is to be! built. Other speakers were Fire Chief Shaughnessy, Supervisor Rea, Byron} Mauzy, C. P. Haag, J. A. Johnson, B. A. Weyl and J. W. Raphael.

The newsiest of the weeklies contains much that is of interest to thinkers in the political, sociological and art and 1t is all In a sprightly and enter- taining vein. The Spectator tells us the Goldsmith play was emascu- in Oaklgnd to avoid shocking po- ite ears. It is an amusing story. He calis on Professor Gayley of Berkeley to tell the “Sslome” critics what's what, and discusses that play in serious vein, pointing out the purely artistic features of it park com- vacate the on which Hospital is es- conepicuous millionaire politicians is ope of the interesting features of the paper. The Social Prattler tells us of 2 soclety woman of Burlingame who is going to hire an English actress as a Zoverness on account of her accent: also of a monkey episode ut a Bur- lingame ball, and of the home-coming of the richest of young Callforma bach- elors.

Dodge filed a suit yesterday against Ernest E. Howell, his partner, and A. | B. McCreery, who owns the land on which the theater is situated. Dodge charges Howell and McCreery with conspiracy, and demands that the part- nership of which he is a member be given judgment against McCreery for 1$21,664; that he be given a half interest |in a lease which he alleges McCreery | has given to Howell; that a receiver {be appointed for the partnership; that an accounting of the partnership be | had, and that it then be dissolved. | Dodge alleges in his complaint that |he and Howell formed the partner- |ship in June last and.secured ‘a six months' lease of the Central Theater | site from McCreery, Howell represent- |ing that he could positively secure an | extension of this lease from McCreery |on gtated terms. On the strength of this Dodge advanced $4800 and later paid over $4659 more and permitted the | entire profits of the partnership to be | expendeéd for Improvements. | The trouble reached a climax when Howell attempted to terminate the | partnership, claiming, as Dodge ~al- leges, that he rould not get the new lease from McCreery. He offered to buy Dodge's interest for $4000, and while this offer was pending McCreery began an action ngaln-t the partner- ship to recover $13,972 and levied an attachment against the theater. On February 6 Dodge accepted the $4000 offer, and the following day the suit was dropped and the attachment dis- | missed. The check received by Dodge from Howell was refused at the bank, and Dodge asserts that the entire trans- action wae a fraudulent one, that Mc- Creery’s sult was brought merely to force him out of his interest in the | partnership and that McCreery has |alresdy given a new lease to Howell, | which they have tried to keep from | his knowledge. | POWERS DISCHARGEDFrank Powers, ar- | rested for hay | tett five-dollar on Georg | keeper, was discharged vesterduy by United | States Commissioner Heacock, it having been shown that Powers was not aware that the | coin was bad. | Have your painting and paperhanging done by relisble decorators at reasonable priccs.
