Competition in Gas

The San Francisco Bulletin notes the ef-
feet of competition in bearing the price of
local gas stocks as follows:
A fresh publication of what the opposi-
tion gas enterprise is doing in the way of
the erection of a plant at the intersection
of Hyde street and the bay for the manu-
facture of dollar gas in August has caused
a sharp reduction in the price of the stock
Of the San Francisco Gas and Electric
company. Four points were knocked off
from the price yesterday under moderate
offerings. Should anything like a real
scare be developed among the stockholders
much lower figures would prevail. Re-
Gently when the opposition enterprise first
began to assume shape the price was cut
to 7611. This was last month. Since then
the price has been raised to 89lk last week,
but yesterday the stock sold at S5h 1t is
believed the company has made mistake
in not following the example of the Oak
land company in cutting its price from
$1.75 to $1.50. 1t Is always best to head off
opposition than to undertake to kill 1t after
1t has obtained foothold.

the cabinet door, so that senators, repre-
sentatives and other privileged callers,
who have previously had free access to
these rooms, will have to be announced or
wait until the latch Is lifted before they
are allowed to reach the president.
The reason given for this new rule or

cross the corridor to visit the executive tel

to the president and the members of the
cabinet Private Secretary Porter vacated
his office and moved over to the room for

the president will have free and unob-
structed access to the rooms running
along the southern front of the mansion.
The restrictions temporarily placed on Off

his callers from embarrassment at peri

for senators and representatives to walk

prove a little irritating at first, but it is

A Neglected Opportunity

A writer In the Criterion has humorous
skit on the calculations Of insurance men
which will also fit certain class of pro-
moters who are always ready to figure
out results on a mine before the shaft is
sunk. or on ranch before the crop is
PLANTED. He says: An agent for an acci-
dent insurance company was bemoaning
his luck yesterday. His name Is not Col
onel Sellers, but he said to me: "Why, II
I'd been on our fleet the day before the
fight could have insured every man there
against injury In the next days battle for
$1,000. Every man jack among 'em would
have willingly paid $40 premium, and some
of the officers would have paid more, and
I calculate that as not man was killed
lost in the neighborhood of $50 900 in pre-
miums just through a lack of foresight in
not going out with the fleet as agent for
my company"
