Good You, the Chinese woman, has oc-
cupied two days in Judge Morrison's S
court, and still her case has not been
settled. The usual unprintabe testimony
was given by the Chinese witnesses.
If the whole thirteen cases require so
much time and attention the court fears
it will have to remove to Chinatown. and
sit there the rest of the year.

THE IDEAL RESIDENCE DISTRICT
This is What the New Figueroa Street Tract
Is Pound tO Recome

Situation and everything else con-
sidered, the new Figueroa street tract is
the choicest residence property now in
the market. and no one should make the
mistak of buying elsewhere until he has
seen 1t. 1t has sewers, sidewalks, fine
streets, every convenience. and is in a
neighL Lorhood that is conceded the finest
in the city; for attractions. too, IN the
way OF large, elegant shade trees. no lot
in the city offers superior beauty. The
lots are large. and they can be bought

NO DANGER HERE
What President Teed Says of San Francisco's
Financial Crisis

The present financial condition of San
Francisco could not be duplicated here
or in any other we'll regulated city in the
union, remarked President Teed of the
council to Herald reporter yesterday.
1--WE also operate under what is known
as the dollar limit. and crisis like the
one up nor tn might easily have been
averted had it been properly anticipated.
The salary demands of municipal em ploy-
ees should not have been met Tor several
months prior to the time when the pres
ent trouble appeared in sight Then
there would have been ample funds for
such expenditures as the purchase of sup
plies for the city needs and corporation
live stock. The whole of the present
trouble in San Francisco looks to me like
piece OF mammoth criminal negligence
upon somebody's part.
