greatly promotes the moral and mental as
well as the physical growth of child.
Il have just received the report of Pro-
fessor Barth, who some months ago was
elected teacher of physical culture in the
public schools" said Superintendent
Moulder yesterday. 1.-The report is emf
nently satisfactory and disappointing at
the same time. 1t is disappointing only
because Professor Barth has been unable
to personally instruct every school in the
city. He has managed to give few les
sons In perhaps thirty of the schools, en-
braclng about 10000 pupils. The work be-
gun by him has been carried on by the
teachers, to the great advantage of the
children, but the results would have been
much better if it had been possible for him
to instruct each class at least once week.
The difference between class of pupils at
the beginning of course OF gymnastic in
struction and at the close is very marked.
Professor Barth estimates that it will cost
about $40, 600 year to secure competent
instructors and to keep the gymnasiums
in repair. Ten thousand dollars could not
be spent more worthily, and the benefit
derived from such an outlay is invalua-
bic in every respect.

The principal of the Hearst Grammar
School indorses the work of Professor
Barth in that particular school as follows:
Physical culture exercises compel prompt
and exact obedience to orders; they require
the individual attention in order to execute
as directed; they develop self-respect by
causing US to have confidence in our ability
to appear at ease, and they cultivate the
courage which arises from the knowledge
that we are able to take care of ourselves.

THE BRIDGE WILL Be BUILT.
EAST STREET TO BE SPAWNED DES-
PITE THE LEGISLATURES
ACTION.
A Law PASSED FOUR YEARS AGO
EMPOWERING THE BOARD
TO ACT.

The passenger bridge may span East
street after all, and the legislation which
was intended for the proposition and which
defeated it was practically useless. At the
meeting of the Harbor Commissioners yes
terday afternoon mild sensation was de-
veloped by the discovery that the board
had had the power all along to rectify the
alignment of East street and to sell, acquire
and condemn adjacent property.
The sensation was uncorked by Senator
TREY L. Ford, who appeared yesterday at
the meeting of the board as it's attorney,
having been appointed to that position on
the resignation of f. S. Stratton. Mr..
Ford's first bit of advice to the board was
that it had the power to align East street
and to condemn the Frank property at the
intersection of Market, East and Sacra-
mento streets The attorney showed that
since March 81, 1891, the power had been
vested in the board, the act which gave
them the authority being entitled IAN act
to empower the Board of State Harbor
Commissioners to rectify the alignment of
East street, from Pacific to Market, in the
city and county of San Francisco and to
sell, acquire and condemn adjacent prop
erty." The sections of most interest are
as follows:
The Board of State Harbor Commissioners is
hereby authorized and directed to rectify the
alignment of East street, between Pacific street
and Market street. in the city and county of
San Francisco said rectifcation to be done so
as to straighten the property lines, and give
as wide and commodious thoroughfare as the
traffic may demand.
The board in carrying out this law shall
have the power to purchase and sell and to
exchange, upon a legal and equitable basis,
any portion or portions of the property ada
cent to the westerly line of the thoroughfare
herein provided for; and a full record of their
proceedings shall be entered upon the minutes
and sworn statement of all transfers, sales,
purchases and other transactions shall be filed
with the Secretary of State.
In case OF failure on the part of the inter-
ested parties to come TO satisfactory agree
ment the board shall have the power to con-
DENIM as in other cases, for public purposes.
This will give us just what we want, :"
triumphantly exclaimed Commissioner
Chadbourne after the meeting. at will
enable US to make trade with the Franks,
straighten out East street and build the
bridge"
At the meeting G. F: Bassett presided for
the last time, as Commissioner Colnon will
take his place to-day and will preside at to-
morrow's meeting of the board.

was appointed to consider whether the
club should continue or not. For two
weeks this committee has been thinking
the matter over, and in the meantime the
feeling has. grown stronger among the
members of the Loring Club that BY all
means the organization should not be
allowed to die out. To the great satisfac-
ton of every one concerned this view was
supported by the committee in the repor
made last Monday night
In addition to advising the continuance
of the club, the committee suggested that
w. @. Stadtfeld, the secretary, be ap-
pointed musical director for the month in
teryening between the departure of David
Loring, which takes place early in April,
and the annual meeting in May, and the
committee strongly urged that w. G..
Stadtfeld should then be permanently ap-
pointed musical director. The report was
unanimously adopted.
The new musical director pro tenn. is a
general favorite in the club. He has been
secretary since 1884, and has fulfilled his
duties so ably that the cry now is: Where
can the Loring Club find another secre-
taryp Strange to say, the new director
has never once welded the baton for the
Loring singers, even at rehearsal. David
Loring was SO devoted to his chorus of
male voices, and attended rehearsals and
performances with such clockwork regu-
larity that the services of an assistant were
never required. 1t is said that during the
last ten years w. c.. Stadtfeld has scarcely
missed one rehearsal either.
The many friends of the Loring Club
will hear with satisfaction that the popu-
lar organization, which has existed here
for eighteen years, is not to be disbanded.
Special efforts will be made indeed to bring
up the associated membership to its full
complement of $50 members. The last
concert of the present season takes place
month earlier than usual-in- order that
David Loring may conduct for the last
time before he sails for Japan. There will
be sixty-four voices in the chorus. On
Monday evening, April /, the active mem
bers will tender farewell banquet to the
founder Of the Loring Club.

of a man who knew just what he was talk
ing about when he pinned his faith to the
new document.
He has thorough confidence in the au-
thenticity of the will and scouts the sug-
gestion of forgery. With this belief he will
continue to give his best legal Judgment to
the case when called upon to do so. He
left last evening for Sacramento thor
oughly confident that the opposition has q

given the Governor the new title of Jim

Attorney Kowalsky says he had no in,
tention OF saying that Lloyd and Wilson
produced the Dana will under circum-
stances similar to the prod uction of the
last Fair will. He recalls the fact that the
Dana will had been admitted to probate
seven or eight months before Messrs. Lloyd
and Wilson were employed to defend it.

SAN JOSE, March 10.-Miss Marie Bur-
roughs was seen at the Auditorium, where
she appeared in "The Prohigate," and
when asked about the divorce case said,
in a quiet, chilly manner, she and Mr..
Massen were on the best of terms, and if
she had begun an action it was their pri-
vate business. When shown the Associ-
ated Press dispatch, giving an account OF
her suit for divorce, she became very much
agitated and attempted to cut the inter
view short.
ut is true you have begun suit, is it
not ?" she was asked.
YES" was the reticent and hesitating
answer. 81 decline to say anything; don t
