Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. Meet
Committee Of Creditors to
Outline Plan Of Settlement

A meeting was held yesterday after
noon by the committee of the cred
itors Of the suspended brokerage firm
Of Bolton. de Ruyter & Co. and the
TWO members of the insolvent con-
cern.
The meeting was held in the Offices
Of the brokers and was also attended
by 7. c. Van Ness, attorney for the
insolvents.
The members Of the committee rep
resenting the creditors stated that
they were perfectly satisfied that Boil

TO pay all their obligations if given
time.

the committee, ito pay so cents on

The committee has not figured at

CEMETERY LAW
IS CONTESTED
Federal Court Is Asked to
Declare the Urban Burial
Ordinance Unconstitutional

Directors Of Laurel Hill Cemetery
and many owners of burial plats in
the tract are dissatisfied with the re-
cent decision of the State Supreme
Court to the effect that the ordinance
approved March 80, 1900, prohibiting
further burials therein or anywhere else
within the limits of the city and county
of San Francisco is invalid. Suit to
determine the constitutionality of the
ordinance was filed yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court by Bessie
Hume, who names as defendants the
Laurel Hill Cemetery, the city and
county of San Francisco, Mayor
Schmitz, the Board of Supervisors, DR..
Ragan and the Board of Health.
The complaint sets forth that in Mo-
vember, 1903, she applied to the ceme-
terry association for permission to bury
the body of Sarah r. Macbeth in the
family plat, where had been previously
inferred the bodies of her husband,
Robert Stuart Macbeth; their three
children and their grandchild. and that
the cemetery authorities refused to per-
nit the interment to take place, alleg-
ing as reason the prohibitive ordi-
nance Of March 30. The Board of
Health likewise refused to grant a per-
NIT for the burial for the same reason.
Many things in the complaint read
more like a chapter of the ancient his
tory of this city than a dry legal docu-
ment, such as complaints on consti-
tutional questions are supposed to be.
For instance, 1t is recited that on May
80, 1854, Nathaniel Gray and his asso-
ciates devoted the Laurel Hill tract of
land for the purposes Of a rural ceme-
terry, and that on that occasion c. K.
Garrison, Mayor Of the city, delivered
an address; that Hon. E. D. Baker de-
buried there on December IL, 1861 Then
the complaint goes on to say that Rev.
Thomas Starr King, standing by Bak-
er's untitled grave, said: I'VE have
borne him now to the home Of the dead,
to the cemetery which, after fit SER
vices and prayer he devoted in ten
der and thrilling speech to it's hallowed
purposes"
"A poem written for the occasion, .
continues the complaint, was read by
its author, Frank Soule, and Right
Rev. William Ingraham Kip delivered
the dedicatory address," Several
hundred words of this address are
quoted in the complaint, evidently to
show that the cemetery had been dedi-
Gated formally to public use as a
cemetery.
At that time, it is averred, the ceme-
terry was outside of the corporate linn
its of the city, two miles from the
business center and one mile from any
part of the city used for dwelling pur-
poses, and there were no streets or
municipal roads leading thereto. 1t is
alleged that up to the time of the con-
veyance of the cemetery to the Laurel
Hill CemeteI Gray and his associates
had expended more than $4,000 in i'm
provements over and above receipts
and had sold to private parties more

Mary's Help Hospital. by P. E. Null

test with the Board of Supervisors
crusher and quarry at Thirtieth and
Castro streets. The petitioner also re-
quests the passage Of the proposed or
dinance extending the prohibitory
limits for rock crushers so as to in
clude Thirtieth and Castro streets. The
two blocks opposite the proposed
quarry are the property of Mary's
Help Hospital and the petitioner says
the site will be greatly deprecated in
value by the location Of a quarry in
such proximity. The two ordinances
extending the limits will be passed to
print at to-mOrrow's meeting of the
Supervisors.

ident Symmes and the Supervisors. in
attendance said that they thought San

share Of benefits from the appropria-
ton than 5000 a month. This claim was
also based on the fact that San Fran

health Of the entire State by its work
in Chinatown. The expenditures for
Chinatown by city and State combined
amount now to s57, 900 per annum on

TWO SISTERS MEET AFTER
FORTY YEARS SEPARATION
Are Brought Together by Reading q
Personal Mention Made In
The Call


Two sisters met here yesterday after
a separation Of nearly forty years
brought together by reading a personal
mention IN The Call. Neither knew OF
the presnce Of the other IN the city.
One is Mrs z. H. McCraken OF Port
land, Or, and the other Mrs. Mary
Lemon Of New York. Both were born
in San Francisco, but in the early SOS
the marriage Of Mrs. Lemon took her
to New York, and Mrs McCraken. who
was then Miss Minnie Pixley, went with
her family to Oregon to live. She mar
ried there and has since resided in that
State.
Mrs. McCraken was returning from
an Eastern trip and stayed over here
for day en- route to Portland, when
Mrs. Lemon, who also happened to be
visiting here, saw the announcement in
The Call that her sister was at the
Palace She Immediately rushed to the
hotel. where most joyous meeting
took place. Both were young girls at
parting and now both are mothers OF
families.
Mrs. McCraken and Mrs. Lemon are
sisters of the late Annie Pixley, who
was made famous throughout this
country and England by her delightful
impersonation of Miss.

than 5000 burial lots and plats. On
June 23 1871, Thomas II. Selby, as
Mayor of the city, granted the Laurel
Hill Cemetery tract of land not de-
voted to the purposes Of a cemetery
for the consideration Of $24,139 79.
The complaint contends that by the
provisions of an act of the Legislature
approved April 1s. 1859. plats which
have been sold by cemetery associa-
tions to private persons and interments
made therein shall be forever thereafter
inalienable, and shall upon the death
of their owners or holders descend to
their heirs at law.
Seven acres remain unsold. These
are valued at $4,000, and are sufficient
for the interment of 5000 bodies. The
contention is made that the prohibitory
ordinance is a municipal law impair
ing the obligations of a contract, and
that it's enforcement deprives the citi-
zen of property without due process Of
law.

GUARDSMEN CALLED UP
FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION
Belts, the Men Cannot Present
SoIdierIy Appearance.

1ApPC<1A
There is a report in National
Guard circles to the effect that be-
fore long. in addition to the change
in the adjutant's general Office, in
which, in all probability, J. Locke will
succeed General Stone. there will be
several retirements in the upper
grades and that new appointments
will be announced.
The annual inspection by Major
Wilhelm, retired, u. S. A, and the
State inspector commenced last week
and during the current month those
units that are to be inspected and mus
tered will be In the following order:
The signal corps of the First Brigade;
Troop D, cavalry; brigade COM
mander and staff of the First
Brigade; headquarters, field and
staff; band and detachment of
sanitary corps of Seventh Infan-
try; Companies A, C, F, B.. L, H, e,
NJ, K, G, D and I, Seventh Infantry;
Troop c, cavalry; Company B, Fifth
Infantry; brigade commander and
staff, Second Brigade; headquarters.
field and staff and detachment Of the
sanitary corps of the Fifth Infantry
and headquarters, field and staff
sanitary corps and band, First Artil-
lery. The other units will be inspect
ed during March and April, the last
being on April 26.
There is some guessing as to how
the men will look at inspection, in
view of the fact that they are without
belts and therefore have no place In
which to place bayonets. 1t was ex-
pected that they would have had belts
issued to them long before this, but
there has been a hitch somewhere and
the result will be that they will not
be able to present the neat and SOL
dierly appearance expected of them.
In the Fifth Infantry eight men
have been discharged from the SER
vice Of the State. seven on account Of
removal and one for good of the SER
vice.

WILL ABOLISH
CHINESE FILTH
Health Authorities Recommend
Closing of Cellars and Con-
creting of Exposed Surfaces

An understanding was reached yes
the Merchants Association, in pursu-
ance of which the publication of
Chinatown in this city will be con-
tinued with vigor for another year.
Old buildings that are a detriment to
the public health will be torn down.
cellars will be closed and sanitary
measures of various kinds will be rec
commended to the Supervisors by the
San francisco Board Of Health. The
State Board of Health. the San
Francisco Board of Health and the
Federal health authorities will co-ope-
rate to prevent Chinatown from being
a menace to the health of this city.
The conference Of yesterday was at
tended by President Frank ]. Symmes
chants Association, Supervisors dan
coma and Brandenstein, DR.. Blue of
the Federal service, Drs. Regensburger
and Foster Of the State Board OF
Health and Drs. ]. W. Ward and Hass-
ler of the San Francisco Board Of
Health and Louis Levy, deputy health
officer.
Quite a long discussion took place
before any action was recommended.
The following resolutions were intro
duced by DR.. Blue and they were unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this meet
ing that the sanitary measures adopted by
the city State and Federal health authorities
in February. 1908, for the eradication Of con-
tagious disease in Chinatown be continued for
so long a time may be considered neces-
sary; that the city Board of Health be re-
quested to recommend to the Board OF Super
visors additional measures for the wholesale
Resolved. That all cellars, Easements and
underground places in the district between
California and Pacific, Stockton and Kearny,
be condemned as places Of abode and the same
destroyed; thst In case OF reconstruction the
owners be required to remove surface soil and
to concrete the area thus exposed solidiy from
Resolved, That the work be done under the
direction and supervision Of the Marine Hos
pital service and that meeting OF the rep
resentatives of the Marine Hospital service,
the city Board of Health and the State Board
of Health be held once every two weeks for
consultation.
President Synmes of the Merchants
Association presided. There was no
difference Of opinion concerning the
continuation of the work Of purifying
and lettering the Chinatown section.
Some question was raised as to the
relative share of expense that should
be borne by the city of San Francisco
and by the State and figures were made
public.
1t appeared that this city is spend
ing $3.50 a month in cleansing China
town and that the State is putting up
about 5000 a month for the same pur-
pose. The cost to the city is on ac-
count of the demolition of old shacks,
the removal of filth and the purchase
of disinfectants that are literally used
and for labor. The labor item is the
heaviest of any in the account. The
expense of the State Board of Health
in Chinatown is all incurred in inspec-
ton.
