MODERN HOME
FOR MERCHANTS
New Structure Will Re-
place Old Exchange
Building.
Money to Complete Purchase
Is in Bank Awaiting
Demand.

Indications point to the speedy deInoli-
ton OF the old Merchants Exchange
building on California street and the erec-
ton OF modern structure as the home
OF the commercial bodies Of this city. A
demand was made yesterday for $1IO 900
to complete the purchase Of the Mer-
chants Exchange property. This money,
together with the entire purchase price of
the property, Is now In the bank and will
be paid over Immediately. 1t was stated
yesterday at the Produce Exchange that
the construction of the new building will
be commenced in the near future.
Although the plans for the new struc-
ture have not yet been fully outlined 1t
Is understood that 1t will be from eight
to ten stories in height and equipped with
all modern conveniences. It will be the
homo of the Chamber Of Commerce, San
Francisco Board Of Trade, the Manufac-
turers' and Merchants Association, and
many other prominent commercial asso-
Citations which are now scattered In differ
ent parts Of the city,. The new building
will have private offices and meeting
rooms for each Of the bodies, as we'll us
general assembly halls. The cost Of the
new building will probably aggregate
from six hundred thousand to seven hun
dred thousand dollars
When completed the proposed Mer-
chants Exchange building will be the most
elaborate and best equipped building en-
tirely devoted to commercial development
In the United States. IE drawing up their
plans the merchants intend to take for
their model buildings which have been
cial bodies. The site of the old Merchants
Exchange building. which Is 1876 by

OUT TO sLAY
Serious Complications
Arise in Chinese
Quarter.
Situation More Threatening
Than for Several Years
Past.

The present highbinder crisis in China
town is regarded by the police as being
more serious than any for many years
past. Trouble Is not only expected from
gangs OF blackmailers and highway rob-
bers. but four of the most powerful or
sanizations In the heather quarter have
taken up arms, and the paid assassins OF
each tong only await the opportunity to
commit murder.

She raised an outcry, frightening the

ficer Jack Tillman arrested All Chez for
carrying concealed weapons. This Mon
golian had q dagger the blade OF which
was foot in length. From secret sources
the police have learned that he was n
member OF the band OF murderous high
waymen.
The police also anticipate much trouble
from blackmailers. who make do
mands for money. with death as
an alternative The murder of the
lookout in Buck Dyes club was COM
mitted by blackmailers Friday morning.
and Sunday Buck Dye informed the Of
ficers that they had placed a price upon
his head.
Serious complications arose over the
lookout's murder. He was a member Of
the Chin family. and this family accuses
members OF the Wong family of having
committed the crime. The Chin family
demanded that the Wongs either deliver
the murderers to them or suffer the loss
of five OF their members. The Wongs re
fused TO accede to the demands. and in
stead sent out their hatchetmen to spill
more blood.
The Suey Sing tong and the Hop Sing
tong are at swords ends. although they
have not yet broken into open hostilities
The trouble between these tongs grew
out OF the prosecution OF Sue Ho Nun AMI
Ho Nun for the murder OF a cook at the
corner OF Dupont and Pacific streets
nearly two years ago.

his men throughout the Chinese quarter
with instructions to search every suspi-
cious looking Mongolian for weapons.
