All men are equals in San Francisco.” FILLMORE HAS WORKERS The Fillmore-street Improvement Club will look after its street and see that it s in good order. The Po- | trero Association has blocked out’the district with a view to making the gen- eral cleaning up work a preliminary | | to permanent improvement of that sec- | tion. The Miesion people are working tooth and nail to make the day & suc- cess, and North Beach, the banner building district, is going to see that sidewalks and streets are cleared of debris. North Beach residents complain that while the section has done a vast amount of work rebuilding, there are scattering lot owners who have failed to put in sidewalks, even of a tempo- rary nature, and that this is seriously interfering with the business of the district. This also prevents tenants from coming and going with comfort between newly finjghed flats and apart- ments. President Duffey of the Board | of Public Works will probably be asked ' to look into this matter, and it is re- ported by several of the energetic prop- | erty owners of the district tha{ unless delinquent lot owners conforni to the city ordinances regarding sidewalks counsel will be secured and a vig- orous campaign of prosecution will fol- | to drive a dirt wagon | late reeper he will have to buy soda ey Friedlander will put on rubbers and clean up California ing to the exchange entrance, and en if he has to wear an apron and b | low. Other districts of the city are contemplating raising funds for legal services to punish offenders against public service. Some of the rich men of the sections that make complaint are the greatest offenders. MUCH ENTHUSIASM Chairman A. W. Scott Jr. sald that the week was going to bring forth some astonishing results. Instead of the community losing enthusiasm on ac- count of the postponement of cleaning- up day, it had gathered force each hour and even the school children were writing letters to the committee of- fering thelr services as messengers or in whatsoever capacity they might serve. Chairman Scott suggests that the children in the various districts organize by blocks and see which block can show the cleanest sidewalks. The wagons will take care of the middle of the streets, but the sidewalks, frbnt yards of homes and all passageways should be given a good sweeping. Waste paper should be accumulated In | the center of the streets and burned. Darina Parlor, Native Daughters, urges the school children to make a rule to shame any one who throws dirt upon the streets. After the city is cleaned no one should sweep rubbish from home or store into the streets. The Police Department will be re- quested to reprimand persons who vio- the city ordinance regarding sweepings, and the Board of Health is going to begin an active campaign against those who menace public health by neglecting to comply with the rules governing the health of the city. The ladies’ committees and the gen- eral committee will hold meetings to- day, and it must be remembered that early donations of coffee and sugar and promises of food are necessary, The ladies must know on what they will have to depend to feed the big army of cleaners. Send word to Mrs. Palache, 900 Eddy street, that she may arrange to receive donations and record them that computation of the amount of food and coffee that will be subplied may be enade at a near date. ARCHBISHOP OF PARS ( TGS R oSN (Will Not Submit to New| Proposals of French Government | PARIS, Feb. 24.—The clerical organs are united In declaring that Cardinal tichard, Archbishop of Paris, will not bmit to the new proposal. of the Gov- ernment regarding church leases and their despatches from Rome categori- cally insist that Pope Pius is resolved to maintain integrally the original text offered by the French episcopate and e even to discuss the Govern- nent’s exceptions relative to the bility of parish priests for the keeping of churches and the exclusion of reign priests or members of the dis- solved orders as parties to contracts. Whether these inspired statements are only part of the diplomatic game re- mains to be seen.

We demanded satisfaction, and it was denled. We agreed to ac- cept whatever decision the arbitration court might render, but President Bo- nilla of Honduras dissolved the cofirt by withdrawing the Honduran arbi- trator. “Nicaragua has triumphed in four combats over the Honduran forces, suffering one defeat. Our forces are today in the territory of Honduras. “ZELAYA, President of Nlcaragua.” SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE OALL HUREKA, Feb. 24—At a largely at- tended meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce last night Governor Gillett, Sen- ator Rolley and Assemblyman McClel- lan, respectively the originator and legislative advocates of the Humboldt harbor bill giving the Governor power to appoint all three Eureka harbor commissions, were severely rebuked. Coming, as {t did, the action, which is the first slap at the Governor ¢y his home people, has created much excite- ment. The présent law gives the Governor power to appoint two commissioners. The Mayor of Hureka is the ex-officio third member and chairman of the com- mission. - A faction headed by Gillett and Bterling Campbell seeks to control the board entirely, and forced through both houses the bill mentioned. The measure is now before the Governor. The Chamber of Commerce, repre- senting all solid shipping, lumber and commercial interests, last Wednesday night appointed @ committee consisting of R. O. Wilson, G. A. Glynn and J. M. | Carson to investigate this legislation. The committee reported last night that the measure has been sprung and pushed through the Legislature without advice and against the best Interests of the people of Humboldt County. It declares that the city of Bureka should not be deprived of its representation in harbor affairs. The report of the committee was adopted by a vote of more than 2 to 1. although the Gillett factifon boasted it would secure favorable action by the chamber. The gecretary was instructed to immediately telegraph to the Gov- ernor asking him to withhold action pending the receipt of a certified copy of the report, and the action taken thereon. HARRINAN AND HILL REACH AN AGREEMENT Rival Railroad Systems “Get Together” for Mutual Protection SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE OALL TACOMA, Feb. 24—Antiratlroad agi- tation in Northwestern States and throughout the country is causing the Hill and Harriman railroad systems to ‘“‘get together” for their mutual protec- tion. After fighting for years they have agreed upon a settlement of rights of way and other terminal problems for Harriman’s new line from Oregon to Tacoma and Seattle. Hill has granted privileges which he declared last summer he would not do. Harriman will receive rights of way across and through Hill property in Tacoma and Seattle. HIill will obtain similar privileges at Portland, where Harriman controls the situation. He wants his new line down the north bank of the Columbia. This settlement precedes another “getting together” already agreed upon for the adjustment of the long stand- ing differences in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Attorneys of the rival systems are working together to head off reciprocal demurrage bills and other antirailroad legislation now before the State Legis- lature. Harriman will obtain the right to use Hill's million dollar bridge across the Columbia at Vancouver now building. In some places there will probably be joint use of trackage. Opergting offi- clals believe that much good will re- sult from such a settlement, including a great saving of money heretofore spent by both systems In fighting each other.

Under the | rules the presentation of proposed laws ends on the fiftieth day, thus glving the | Legislature at least ten days to burrow out from under the queer admixture of | wisdom and foolishness with which it biennally buries f{tself. Up to date the record for the intro- duction of bills has never been in dan- ger, and nothing s feared from the day about to dawn. The total for both houses is short of 2000, which is con- siderably below the mark set two year ago. In round numbers 980 bills have been introduced in the Assembly. Many of these are in a cataleptic state in com- ittee, but 353 have been passed and bden sent to the Senate, and perhaps a hindred will yat reach the stage of final consideration. Wyatt of Salinas Heads the st of bill introducers. Ninety-two measures bear his name, but nearly all of these come |from the Code Commission and were turned over to him for the reason that he 1s chairman of the committee of re- vision and reform of laws. The medal properly belongs to Grove | Johnson, for he has fathered eighty- three bills dealing with a multiplicity of suggestions. Other notable indus- trious lawtinkers are Drew of Fresno, who has presented fifty-seven bills, more than half of them dealing with | Insurance, and Transue of Los Angeles, | who has stood sponsor for thirty-two. | Five members have not introduced & Is!ngle bill. These statesmen of dis- | tinction are Patrick J. Boyle, John A. Cullen, John McKeon, Daniel J. Toomey and John Wessling, all from San Fran- oisco. McKeon, however, has made a record for himself in another way. He has invariably shunned the programme and has nearly always voted right. Wessling has been here, there and everywhere. He came here as the only representative of the Independence League, broke into the Republican cau- cus, took a seat at the patrohage table before the cover was laid, and has since been counted as a man the or- ganization could have whenever it really needed him. Of the members from San Francisco who have introduced bills Nate Cogh- lan leads the class with twenty-two, of which number just two have passed the Assembly. The rest are either dead or struggling for life in com- mittee. Other members of the San Francisco delegation have bills to thelir credit or discredit as' follows: Barry, four; Beban, on'e; Beckett, six; Fisher, four; Fratessa, six; Hartmann, seven; | Kelly, eight; Kohlman, four; BStrohl, | four; Thomson, seven; Vogel, nine; | Wilson, three. The total number of bills emanating from the delegation is eighty-five, and of these only fourteen have passed the Assembly, but Abe’s boys are not dis- couraged. They expect to get through one or two more before the session ends. TO CUT OUT BUGS IN BILLS ‘Wright Has a Substitute for the Cam- inetti Measure SACRAMENTO, Feb. 24.—Wright of San Diego will introduce a bill tomog- row as a substitute for the bifrucated session measure of Caminett! of Ama- dor that has been reported out of com- mittee adversely in the Senate. Cam- inetti wants the sessions of the Legis- lature divided so that the electors may have an opportunity of considering bills befpre they come up for passage. He argues that in the interim the more important of the bills would be dis- cussed by the newspapers and vicious legislation thoroughly exploited. ‘Wright proposes to accomplish the Iron Company, sicians are in constant attendance upon the sick man. burg to take charge of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company several years ago, when the Gould Interests gained control. ola 1 M g You can be sure of what you’re anlar Legislation i edal, s However: Provecl e e R & . .

There s very correct ground for the| popular belief that members of the Leg-| islature often cast their votes for meas- + ures which they would never support had | they sufficlent time to examine them. ‘The bug evil would be considerably in- tercepted by the enactment of provi- sions similar to those I intend to in- corporate in my bill.” D.
