SELECTED BY JUDGES
Grand Jury Passes Resolution Recon-
mending Amendment to the
Charter.

A resolution introduced by Milton H.
Esberg was passed by the Grand Jury
Friday night recommending that the
charter be amended so as to provide for
the selection of the Police Commission
ers by the twelve Judges OF the Su-
perior Court instead Of appointment by
the Mayor and to make the tenure OF
office for life or during good behavior.
There was spirited opposition to the
resolution, but it was carried by a
large majority.
The charter at present prescribes a
tenure of four years for the Police
Commissioners. and the plan the Grand
Jury proposes was that followed before
the charter was adopted.
The jurors had a protracted wrangle
over a resolution to indorse the admin
istration of Assessor Dodge. 1t was
finally adopted by vote Of to Z.
Reports were received from various
subcommittee in preparation for the
disbanding of the Grand Jury. which
is to take place as soon as it can

WILL ASK MORE MONEY
TO CLEANSE CHINATOWN
Health Officials Seek to Complete
Work of Putting District in
Sanitary Condition.

At q meeting of the Public Health
Commission of California yesterday it
was decided to ask the Supervisors to
set aside $500 more to continue the
work of cleaning Chinatown until the
end Of December. This sum, it was ex-
planned to Supervisors Brandenstein
and D'Ancona, who were present, is to
be used in paying the wages of the
wrecking crew and for buying disin-
fectants. Ever since the discovery of
disease in the Celestial quarter the
Board of Health of this city, in con-
junction with the Federal Government
and the State Board of Health, has
lRbored diligently to make the Chi
nese quarter sanitary. The United
States authorities have a corps of doc
tors examining deceased Chinese with
a view to discovering whether they
were suffering from a dread disease.
DR.. Blue is of the opinion that the
cementing of Easements has brought
about a decrease in Chinatown's NOR
tality. In 1902 All Chinese died and
in 1908 the death rate was 365.
Deputy Health officer Levy will ap-
pear before the Finance Committee
of the Board of Supervisors tomorrow
and show what work was done in
Chinatown and how the money was
expended. Drs. Blue, Ragan and
Hassler will also be present to urge
the setting aside of more money to
continue the work
The Board of Health was directed
to stop garbage men from picking over
garbage on public streets.
A. Sbarboro favored the collecting
of garbage at night, as is done in large
Eastern cities. Health Officer d. f.
Ragan gave an interesting account OF
his Eastern trip and the result of his
Investigations into the methods adopt
ed by Eastern cities along sanitary
lines and pure food analysis.
The Board of Health was asked to
recommend to the Supervisors that
they pass an ordinance to stop young
women in glove stores from using
saliva on their fingers to aid them In
fitting gloves to the hand. DR.. Regens-
burger, president of the State Board
of Health, is of the opinion that this
is dangerous and suggests that all
stores be compelled to furnish sponges
to their help, so that they will not
moisten their finger tips with their
tongues and thus carry disease.

DECREASE IN LOANS SHOWN
BY THE REPORT OF BANKS
Statement Reveals Important Changes
Due to Speculation and the Ex-
pOrtatiOn OF Gold.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The Finan-
cier says: The official statement Of the
New York Associated Banks last week
showed, as the most striking changes
compared with the previous week, an
important decrease in loans, though
somewhat smaller than was expected,
a loss Of cash closely corresponding
with that which was indicated by the
estimates that were based upon the
known movements Of money; a de-
crease in deposits by an amount very
nearly agreeing with the sum of the re-
duction in loans and the loss Of cash.
and a decrease in the surplus reserve
to a little more than s1,OOO,OOO below
the amount at the beginning of the
year.
The loan contraction was SIC, ,2s9. $780, =
making $39. .7G5. 200 Since October %. in
which period there has been a buoyant
speculation in the stock market. calling
logically for expansion rather than
contraction. 1t is quite likely. however,
that the trust companies are carrying
a larger volume Of loans.
Loss of cash was $5124.6O0 net or
81 ,0S2. 500 less than the estimate, but the
discrepancy was doubtless due to the
system of bank averages and also to
the inclusion in the estimates Of the
Withdrawals Of gold for export which
occurred on the last day of the previous
bank week and were then accounted
for in the statement. The loss Of cash
reported by the banks makes a total
since October % Of S23, ,467,7 200. The de-
pOsits were decreased last week by
SIS, ,665. 100. making s6O. POI. 700 since the
above mentioned date. Computed upon
the basis Of deposits, less those OF s25,-
373, 800 public funds. the surplus is
$14. .224. .s25. The surplus against general
deposits a year ago was. II may be
noted SC, ,125. 200.
