A PUBLIC PARK.
The Mission Defense Union Wants the
Old Jewish Cemetery Purchased
for That Purpose.

Old Jewish Cemetery Purchased
for That Purpose.
The Mission Defense Union held meet
ing at its hall, corner of Guerrero and
Twenty-frst streets, last evening, Judge
Van Reynegom presiding in the absence
of the president, John FL. Grady.
A communication was received from the
Merchants Association asking that the
union, in common with other clubs, ap-
point two delegates to convention to be
held in the interests of the new City char
ter. The request was received with en-
thusiasm and the Mission Defense Union
pledged itself to work with all its power
for the adoption of the charter. The mat
ter of the appointment of the delegates
went over to the next meeting.
A resolution was then adopted asking
the Board OF Supervisors TO make
an appropriation for the purchase
of building and lot, and also
to take all necessary steps toward
the establishing of high school in the
Mission The chairman stated lat there
were many advanced pupils in their local
ity who could not travel across the City
twice per day to attend the present High
Schools. 1t would be better. he said, to
establish a high school grade in the
situated in the Mission. than do without
that much-ueeded educational depart
meut.
The question of securing the old Jewish
Cemetery lots for a public park was dis
cussed at the meeting, and it was resolved
to bring the matter before the Board OF
Supervisors. 1t was thought that the two
lois could be purchased at a reasonable
price, and there was no question that a
public park should be given the Mission.
The old cemetery tract was in a sheltered
locality and was otherwise a fitting place
for the purpose. The Mission Defense
Union Is the largest and most progressive
Improvement club in the City, possessing
a membership of over 800 influential
people.

TAXES MUST Be REDUCED
Strong Opinion Of a Venerable
Banker on Civic Extrava.
gance.
Rates of Interest May Not Be Changed
Now, but Much Depends on the
Tax Levy.

The fact that Robert ]. Tobin of the
Hibernia Savings and Loan Society stated
to The CALL Friday that rates of interest
OH savings bank deposits would likely be
reduced on account of excessive taxation
gave rise TO considerable comment yester-
day among taxpayers and people who had
money saved in the banks.
Mr.. Tobin said THE enormous tax
levy is principally responsible for this re-
duction. The poor man, the fellow who
saves few honest dollars by hard toll and
sacrifice, is practically doubly taxed. the
pilferers, however have fixed the levy,
knowing that these people would be called
on to bear the burdens, and they must per-
force accept the situation gracefully. He
added that while his institution hoped to
be able to pay per cent dividend, the
rate might be considerably less.
In the other savings banks the rate OF
interest will suffer no material change, if
any, this term. The reason OF this is the
various bank managers look forward con-
fidentIy to substantial decrease in taxa
ton for the next fiscal year beginning on
July l. With such a prospect they have
concluded to make no change in the rates
of interest, hoping 20 be able to make up
in the latter half of the year for any de-
fici ency IN the first part in profits through
the taxes.
Lowell White, cashier of the San Fran
cisco Savings Union, said that his bank
would pay So go on ordinary deposits and
81 80 on term deposits.
I'VE will make no reduction" sad he,
''for the current six months which ter
inmate on the Both inst. Our dividend is
the same as it was last January The next
dividend, however, will be largely affected
by the rate of taxation. We don't antici-
pate so high a rate of taxation as last
year; the rate will be dete rmined.before
we shall have again declared dividend.
Taxation and also assessment are open
questions, and they make it difficult to de-
clare a dividend that would be just to all
parties
eve assume now that there will be
somewhat of reduction in taxes. W. be-
lieve the people cannot stand this exces-
sive rate of taxation. If the savine s- bank
deposItors want good rates of dividends
they must control in some form taxation.
l cannot prescribe the form, but submit to
the public they must reduce the rate OF
taxation"
What would be the effect of a continu.
ance of the present tax OF 81 20 pei
centum?''
cit would have the effect of further re-
ducing dividends. We hope, from so fal
as now appears, the present dividend oil
So 60 and 81 80 can be maint tanned, as there
is proba bility of a reduction in taxes tc
81 90 or 81 rs per centum."

MAY STRIKE,
The Employers Retaliate by
Cutting Wages to So so
a Day.
Programme of the Combine Divulged
to the Men, Who Meet It
Prompt Y.

The union painters of this City are likely
to have more trouble on their hands within
forty. eight hours, for present appearances
indicate that there will be strikes ordered
in several shops by noon tomorrow.
A threatened reduction of wages is the
cause. Several months ago the Painters
Union ordered a general strike for reeog-
milton of the union and a minimum wage
of So day-of eight hours. After hotly
contested fight tn y practically won.
Among the first to yield was ]. st. Denis
& Co. and he promised the union not to
break his agreement to recognize the
unions demands without giving due
notice. Last week he told the officers of
the union that half dozen boss painters
had decided to reduce the wages to 81 80
a day, the change to take effect to-
morrow, Monday morning.
He said that in order to compete in bust
ness with these men he, too, would be
obliged to make similar cut
The union held special meeting last
evening and several members expressed
their appreciation of the fairness of st.
Denis in his treatment of the union.
After considerabl discussion the union
decided to stand by the union rules and
not to submit to any reduction.
A committee, consisting of j. W. Rose,
]. Cokeley and ]. Griffin, was appointed
to make an investigation of the shops and
find in which reductions would be made.
The first attempt to cut wages will re
suit in strike, and the men in every shop
where the union rules are not lived up to
will be ordered to walk out.
To what extent this trouble will go is
difficult al present to surmise. President
Rose last evening stated that from what
he could learn a number OF the boss
painters had formed a com bination to cut
their employees wages and had decided to
push the thing through with rush. 1t is
the determination of the union to meet
the rush by the coun ter-move-a strike.

FOR BETTER STREETS.
The Draymen's Union Inclined to Con-
test the Special Boulevard
Ordinance.


The Draymen and Transfers Union of
San Francisco held an open meeting last
evening to discuss the subject of pave
ments and boulevsrds. George E. Bow
ers, representing patent block and as
phalt pavement, spoke OF the merits of
the pavement and its qualities as a resist
ant to water and wear. The matter of
boulevards now closed to heavy teamlng
by ordinance drew out several speakers.
II. J. jackson suggested that test be
made of the law which now prohibits
teamsters and draymen from driving on
Golden Gate and Van Ness avenues. He
argued that the dray pay as much in
and should receive the benefit and have
the same privileges as any other class of
the community.
L. J. Welsh, formerly in the Street De-
partment. stated that test case is I'M
necessary, as the law is null and void.
The Supervisors cannot indulge In special
legislation in favor OF those who drive
fancy teams.
Ex-Superyisor d. Farnsworth suggested
that a petition be presented to the Super
visors asking them to rescInd the objec-
tiOnable order.
A. B. Mcguire of the Coai-dealers' Asso-
citation, in speaking of Folsom street,
stated that it was not the intention to
make 1t boulevard. All the people want
on that street is a good pavement, and
they do not want TO exclude any one from
its use.
w. r. Wheeler and E. Mohrig of the
San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade stated
that the association is not antagonistic to
the draymen, but really desire their CO.
operation in securing good pavements.
Upon motion by Henry Jacobs COM
mittee of three was appointed to act with
the Coal-dealers' Association and the Cycle
Board OF Trade in the movement to secure
better streets and payements.

# THE LITTLE DETECTIVE, u
Growers Alcazar Produces One
of Lotta's Favorite
Dramas.

Growers Alcazar has inaugurated the
departure of commencing its new per-
formances at the Saturday matinee instead
of on the inevitable Monday night. This
is a change for the better in many ways.
For one reason it breaks the monotony
of being compelled to attend the theater
on a Monday if one wishes to witness an
opening performance.
The performance yesterday was Lolita s
favor1te comedy-drama, THE Little De-
tectiye," with Amy Lee in the role which
USED to be played By the California actress.
Miss Lee kept the audience on tie qui
yive by her rapid changes of costume and
character, all of which tended, as every
one who is acquainted with the comedy is
aware, to the unmasking OF the villains
and the triumph of the detective, who is
on the trail.
In all her characters Miss Lee was brisk
and amusing and she managed to impart
considerable variety to her acting in the
five different aliases. As Florence Lang
ton, with weakness for finding out peo-
pies secrets, she was simply an enterpris-
ing Young lady, but the audience soon
applauded the soubrette for her versatility
as she evolved through the different dis
guises of Wilhelmina Schwinkompoodles
from Germany Mrs. Gammage, an old
nurse: Harry Racket, fast young man,
and Barney O'Brien from the boys of Bal
dragged.
Among the other characters in the cast,
Frank Doane and Clyde Hess were amusing
as the adventures who always ran in
couples and cheated and robbed people
Jointly. Lorimer Johnston was rather heav-
lily weighted by the villainous role OF Barry
Mallinson, the adventurer who does not
draw the line at murder. Miss Nellie
Young was graceful as Una Langton, the
helped, in a fairly satisfactory manner, to
assist Miss Amy Lee III unrayeling the
tangled thread of villainy.

were asked for be left to take their regular
course through the board.
Young Mitchell appeared as the manager
OF the club and offered to give $500 to
charity and pay the $500 license for exhi-
billions If three permits were granted him.
He agreed to increase the amount to be
donated to charity in case the affairs are a
financial success.
The committee thought favorably of the
affair scheduled for July 3 and instructed
Mitchell to address the trustees of the
Robinson bequest fund on the subject OF
the amount to be given to charity.
