The Board of Education Will
Be Requested to Inter.
Vene.
A SMALL SURPLUS ON HAND
Measures Taken by the Teachers
Society to Put the Fund on
So id Basis.

Four hundred and fifty public school
teachers of San Francisco, with an eye to
the future, are taking measures to put
the annuity and retirement fund, of which
City Treasurer Widber is the custodian,
upon more durable and profitable basis.
To this end the Board of Education will
be petitioned to intervene.
The balance in the fund on the 1st of
this month was $5475. The income. de-
rived from the tax of per cent month
upon the salaries of the teachers DESTROYS
of availing themselves OF its benefits, aver
ages 1915. Following is the list of retired
teachers and the sums drawn monthly
from the fund by them: Miss Cornelia K.
Campbell $50, Mrs. II. A. st. John $45,
Miss Victorine M. Raclet $45, Mrs. NJ. A.
Currier $780, Mrs. Mary J. Cline $50, Mrs.
Laura T. Hopkins $50, Miss l.. E. Ryder
$50.
Each of these beneiciaries had by law
to pay into the fund the sum of $500 before
they were entitled to draw from it, but
after March l. 1898, this premium will be
no longer required. yet, some source of
revenue, aside from the salary tax, is
urgently needed TO swell the fund and
place it upon a more solid and permanent
foundation.
Under existing conditions, with a few
thousand surplus, as stated, the monthly
receipts of 1915 are only $45 in excess of
the $3.50 expended. II few more names
were to be put on the list it would not take
many years to exhaust the annuity fund.
The teachers are fully alive to the sitaa-

Opposition Ticket Headed by
Thomas C. Van Ness Was
Withdrawn.
RAILROAD CROWD IGNORED
President.Elect Hopkins Once the
Leader of a Band to Organize
New Club.

The first election in the Pacific Union
Club under the new constitution recently
adopted took place yesterday and resulted
in a partial victory for the modern or pro-
gressiYe element of the institution. The
officers elected are:
President-E. W. Hop kins.
Vice-president-Russel ]. Wilson.
Secretary-James D. Phelan.
Direetors-Thomas Brown, George A. New
hall. H. H. Veuve, a. Chesebrough and Will
liam Babcoek.
Several days ago an opposition ticket,
headed by Thomas G. Van Ness for presi-
dent, was in the field, but last Saturday it
was Withdrawn, hence the regular ticket
was chosen without dissent.
Members of the club point to the names
on the regular ticket as a sufficient guar
antee that new vigor and activity will be
given to the management of club affairs.
In one sense Thomas c. Van Ness was
regarded as better representative of the
modern go-ahead spirit of the club than
Mr.. Hopkins, the president-elect, but the
latter is rated as a modern. Some years
ago he figured as leader in a band of
fifty members that threatened to start
new club aid pledged themselves each to
put up $1,000 to launch the new enterprise.
1t is claimed for him that if he was then
sufficiently enterprising to break away
from old-fashioEed methods he is still
alive to the spirit of club progress. and
that his administration of affairs will be
progressive.
The phrase railroad crowd" has often
been used in Pacifc-Union circles to des-
ignate some of the leading men of the
Southern Pacific Company. The comment
was quite frequent for a time that the
club was run to promote their convenience
and exalt the railway magnates above the
station of common everyday members.
Indeed, the old system of fifteen directors
divided into three classes was opposed py
many, who hoped by abolishing it to legis-
late the railroad crowd" out of club con-
troll.
The railroad influence is certainly not
paramount in the board elected yesterday.
1t is true that Russell ]. Wilson is Mrs.
Stanford's attorney, but his "pulr' with
the company is said to be about ex-
hausted when he gets his own annual
pass renewed.
AS clubmen go James D. Phelan should
be classed as modern. Should the Pacific
Union contemplate the erection of new
clubhouse Mr.. Pbelan could show them
the magnificent edifce at the corner of
Mason and Suffer streets as specimen of
modern architecture in relation to club de-
velopment.
George A. Newhall and II. H. Veuve are
progressive. Thomas Brown is conserva-
tive, and Messrs. Chesebrough and Bah
cock are certainly active and pubIic-spir-
tied citizens.

Tapachula, in the State of Chiapas, Mex
leo, below the peninsula of Lower Califor-
MIA some 500 miles, is at the Occidental,
accompanied by several friends.
Mr.. Reosta is engaged both in merchah-
dizing and coffee-growing. He is a native
of Mazatlan and only went 10 Chiapas
three years ago. Chiapas is one of
the small, but very productive states of
the southern republic. Mr.. Reosta speaks
very highly of it. He considers it great
place for money making.
81 never saw so good a place for this as
Chiapas," said he. land the money is
largely made in coffee. The worst feature
of life there is the difficulty of getting
good servants. The natives who are en-
ployed in this way are very indolent and
inattentive.
However, labor is not high there. For
the Indian help of the coffee plantations
we pay from 81 to so cents day in silver.
We employ this Indian labor almost alto
gether.
'Chiapas will produce this year about
$1,000 quintals OF coffee, 1000 of cocoa and
1000 of India rubber, besides very large
quantities of all kinds of tropical fruits.
The rubber industry is comparatively new.
1t Is destined to be very important.
There are few Americans there, but
the foreign population is mostly German.
The goods consumed are to large extent
brought from Europe and this country,
The coffee business has been peculiarly
profitable for some years. There is money
made in selling goods, but it does not
equal the profits from growing coffee.
''1f a man goes there with money he can
do well. OF course the more he can take
the more he can do when he gets there.
The little State of Chiapas has 5000
people. while the town that / do business
in, Tapachuia, has only 1900. 1t is an
odd and very interesting country
Mr.. Reosta is large man and likes life
in Chiapas very well. He came on the
Orizaba and will remain about three weeks.
