POOR SANITARY CONDITION
LACK OF FUNDS TO FILL THE
PRESENT NEEDS.
Mayor Phelan Evinces an Interest
and Spoke Words of Condem-
nation for Some Things
That He Saw.

The tour of inspection by Mayor
Phelan, city officers and members of the
Board of Education, for the purpose of
examining into the condition of school
houses and accessory buildings, was con-
tinued and concluded yesterday. During
the morning several dispensaries of
learning were visited and In each place
the sanitary conditions and stability Of
the buildings were noted, and will be en-
bodied in special report which will be
presented TO the Supervisors in the form
of a recommendation for an appropria-
ton with which to repair dilapidated
school property and place it in a state
conducive to health
The idea of inviting the Mayor and
officials outside of the school depart
ment to view for themselves the neces-
sity of additional funds for the attention
of property which is fast going to wreck
was conceived by George r. Armstrong,
chairman of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee. Accordingly, he arranged for
the transportation of the inspectors, and
on Tuesday a large part of the, school
territory of the city was covered. Yes

The first place visited was the Frank

Buena Vista School was inspected The
Haight Primary, which was condemned
four years ago, was next on the list, and
then the party journeyed to the Fair
mount Primary, then to Monroe Primary,
Mission Grammar and Marshall Primary.
In every school visited. with the eXcep-
ton of one, sanitary conditions were ex-
ceedingly poor, and in many cases dan
gerous to the health of children. The
Sheds fences, outbuildings and plank
walks We're sadly in need of repairs, and
these. things were pointed out to the
members of the party.
Mayor Phelan took q number of notes
and asked a few questions. He often ex-
pressed disgust at some things which ex-
listed, but was non-committal on the sub
ject of general remedy. He is in favor,
however, of attending to the wants of
health Immediately. The total amount
asked for by the board borders on $3.50,
600, and will include the construction of
several new buildings. Some of the
schools are crowded to nearly twice their
capacity. and It has been proposed 70
either raise them one story or to build
wings on either side. The amount will be
included in the next tax levy, and the
recommendation that it be set aside from
public funds will be presented to the
Board of Supervisors at an early date.

WELL COOKED FOOD.

Practically every one wants some
sort Of cereal for breakfast. but the
trouble of cooking the regular oatmeal
is something, and in the majority of
cases it is sticky, pasty and too much
like raw starch.
Grape-Nuts offer the ideal breakfast
food. for they require no cooking what
ever, belng thoroughly cooked at the
instant service. The food is cooked bv
experts and the family does not have
to depend on the cooks ability or tenn

nR. LOUIS BAZET, the well-known
physician of this city, head of the
San Francisco Polytechnic, and man
l. whose position n the front rank Of
local practitioners Is an acknowledged
fact, yesterday received a letter from the
Government of Portugal, informing him
that he had been appointed by the King
a Knight Of the Ancient Military Order of
Jesus Christ. This is an exceedingly rare
honor to be conferred upon foreigner
and is made. so the letter states, in ac-
acknowledgement of DR.. Bazet's kindness to
the Portuguese residents of San Fran
cisco. The Portuguese Consul, Ignacio
da Costa Duarte, has been instructed to
confer with DR. Bazet and arrange for the
formal investment Of the physician with
the insignia of the order.
Some time ago the Portuguese residents
of San Francisco forwarded a petition to
Lisbon, calling the attention of the King
to the services of the doctor and asking
that he be honored with some mark Of
distinction as a fitting reward. The
royal decree making him knight of the
grand old order, which was founded in
1917, is the answer of the King to the pc
tition of his former subjects.

REPLY TO BERESFORD.
Count C~assini, the Russian
dor, on the Chinese Situation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Your
correspondent has obtained from Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador to the United
States, an interview in answer to the state
ments made by Lord Charles Beresford rela-
tive to the establishment of an open door in
China. Count Cassini was transferred from
Picking to Washington after five and a half
years service at the Chinese capital, and
his views are highly regarded here. Before
talking with me respecting Lord Beresford's
statement the ambassador said of the re-
port that in a conflict between Russian and
Chinese troops at Talien-Wan three hum
bred Of the latter were killed: I do not be-
lieve the report. If there had been any
foundation for it 1 would have been imme-
diately advised Of the facts by my govern
ment. The Chinese ave no troops in Talien-
Wan, and a conflict could not therefore have
occurred
Respecting Lord Charles Beresford's
declaration in favor Of the maintenance of
the open door in China the ambassador
said: "A great deal Of transformation ex-
lists concerning trade conditions in the far
East, and a determined and regrettable
effort is being made to misinform the public
in this matter. There is no closed door in
china Lord Charles Beresford does not say
at present there exists a closed door. but
says that it is possible that in the future
there may be a closed door. AS a matter
of fact, China holds in her hands the au-
thority to declare whether there shall be an
open or a closed door. SO far as Russia
is concerned it is to her interest to have
free trade in the far East. 1t is necessary,
in view of the construction of the Trans
siberian Railroad, that there should be an
extension of commercial relations in order
that the road can be operated on a paying
basis. The policy of Russia in the extreme
Orient has always favored the introduction
of foreign on an equal footing.
Vladivostock is maintained as a free port.
Talien-Wan, which is within the Russian
free port. Port Arthur is not because Port
Arthur is merely a fortress and was trans
ferred to Russia that she might make it the
terminus of the Transsiberian road and have
at that point a guard to provide it with
necessary protection.
Lord Charles Beresford states that Rus
STA wants to take possession of the north
of China and leave the south of that coun-
try to rance. Now he proposes that Eng
land and the United States, Germany and
Japan shall take charge of affairs in China,
England to have control of the army, the
customs, etc. a very natural desire from his
point of view. Why does he make excep-
lions of Russia and France? He does so on
the ground that they are not commercial
peoples. This is a mistake. France is a
commercial nation, Russia will be The ST.
berian road is a commercial idea. He saws
it is built only for strategic reasons. This
IS another mistake. / am sure, however,
that Lord Charles Beresford expresses only
his private views and not those of his gov
eminent"
