Cases OF that kind would soon cease
throughout the State. Filming is an
insufficient punishment.

CYCLE DEALERS ELECT
THEIR NEW OFFICERS
WALTER B. MORRILL, PRESI-
DENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Reports Show the Organization to Be
in a Most Prosperous
Condition.

The fourth annual meeting of the San
Francisco Cycle Board of Trade was held
last night in the assembly room of the
Parrot building. The association has
been a marked success since its organiza-
ton, bringing the dealers, both wholesale
and retail, and the repair men, together
under one strong protective organization
This was the first of its kind in Amer
lea, but similar bodies are now to be
found at all cycling centers. San Jose
and Los Angeles have well organized
boards, while Seattle dealers have re-
Gently formed one.
The principal business transacted last
night was the election of officers for the
ensuing year. Walter B. Morrill, was cho-
sen president, w. J. Kenney vice presi-
dent c. f. Marwedel treasurer and
James NJ Hamilton secretary.
Reports from various officers and COM
mittees showed the organization to be in
splendid condition, although the dealers
have had several bad years. The pres
ent season has opened auspiciously and
gives promise of being a banner year for
the trade. The annual banquet of the
association will be held shortly. A COM
mittee, consisting of C. F. Marwedel, Ed
win Mohrig and James NJ. Hamilton. was
appointed to arrange the details OF the
affair.
Several new members were elected, and
those without the fold were expected to
join shortly.

The Famous Seaside
Resort to Be Sold.
PABST AFTER THE PROPERTY
C. E. LOOSE OF SALT LAKE
COMES HERE TO COMPETE.
The Executors of the Estate Have Re-
ceived Many Handsome Offers
From Various Sections of
the Country.

It is probable that the Cliff House will
soon cease to be a portion of the estate
of the late Adoph Sutro. The executors
of the dead millionaire's estate have been
ordered to dispose of his famous seaside
possessions, and already local and East
ern capitalists are competing for the re-
sort that caters to the fancy and palates
of people from all over the civilized world.
The Cliff House is perhaps the best
marketable section of the late Adolph
Sutro's vast estate, and when it became
known that the property was to be sold
many handsome offers were received from
local and outside capitalists.
A short time ago the executors OF the
Sutro estate announced privately that the
resort was for sale. and the representa-
tives of the Pabst Brewing Company in
this city, seeing a golden opportunity for
their firm to acquire a valuable and
profitable resort, wired to Milwaukee, and
within a few weeks a special representa-
tive of the company hurried here 10 put
in a bid for the property.
c. E. Loose a wealthy banker and mine
owner of Salt Lake City, who has had his
eye on the property for some time past,
arrived in this city about a week ago,
prepared to pay a top figure for the sea-
Side resort. Mr.. Loose spent several days
inspecting the place, and then he sat
down and wrote out bid for 1t. Ihe
Salt Lake f1nancier knew there were other
wealthy men who were anxious to acquire
the famous resort, and he confided to a
friend that he intended to make the ex-
ecutors of. Adolph SutrO's estate hand
some offer for it. Mr.. Loose presented the
executors of the estate with his bid
day or so ago and then left the city and
returned to his home in Salt Lake. There
are several other wealthy men bidding for
the property, but those who have an ink
ling into the inside Of the deal say that
the sharp contest for possession Of the
resort is between G. r. Loose and the
Pabst Brewing Company.
Those in charge of the estate are eX-
tremely reticent about discussing any
feature of the proposed sale or giving any
information concerning the number of
bids received or the amount of money
offered for the Cliff House.
The Pabst Brewing Company's bid is
said to be in the neighbOrhOOd of $3.50 900.
1t is not known how much Banker Loose
offered. 1t is expected that the sale will
be effected within a few weeks. 1t is the
intention of the executors of Sutro's es-
tate TO soon dispose of the Sutro Baths
and all of the beautiful surrounding

TORE DOWN THE HOUSE.
]. Rittigstein Was Imposed Upon but
Nevertheless Met Defeat.

Negotiations opened some time ago be-
tween J. Rittigstein and L. Snide, two
prosperous business men of Third street,
and finally the former agreed to sublet
the premises at 115 Third street from the
latter, in order to prevent close competi-
tion in the immediate district. When Rit-
tigstein finally agreed with Snide that it
was for the best interests of both to
make the change, he moved his stock
from 253 Fourth street into the new quar-
ters and began business. Snide ran a
pawnbroking shop at 113 Third street,
and for few weeks both prospered.
Finally Rittigstein was notified by the
owner Of the premises that he must va
cate.
He made inquiries as to why he should
move, but not long ago he found out
without further difficulty. A force of
workmen arrived at the premises and be-
gan tearing, down the, building, he occu-
pied. and he vacated without further
ceremony. Then he concluded that he
had been 'jobbed' by Snide and he filed
suit to recover $400 damages. the amount
he says he lost through his removal. Yes
terday the case was called by Judge
Hunt, a jury was impaneled Rittigstein
told his story and then the defendant
moved for a nonsuit. 1t was granted and
Rittigstein left the court, it is thought to
search for new quarters.
