: on Great Metropolis Pleases
Vast Audience at Lyric Hall
TALK is INSTRUCTIVE
Pictures of Queen Victoria
and King Edward Are
Cheered With Enthusiasm

I'm Londcn" was the travelogue of
Burton Holmes at Lyric Hall last
night. The familiar scenes of the
worlds great metropolis were loudly
applauded as they rolled upon the
canvas.
For those who have had the good for
tune to visit that wonderful city the
exquisite views of last night brought
back the scenes with great vividness
1t was almost like being in London
again. For those who had never been
in that city the travelogue was liber-
al and thorough education.
The 154 scenes displayed represented
selections from every portion of that
great city. West End, East End, slums,
houses of parliament, parks, museums,
palaces, law courts, Bank of England,
professions and galleries were all eX-
quisitely illustrated by pictures that
were the very gems and perfection Of
the photographers art.
Many of these were eXquisitely COL
cred. Besides these, there were nine
teen motion pictures They represent
ed coronation professions, Petticoat
Lane, the East End Ghetto. Hyde Park,
Mayfair, the Sunday church parade.
changing of the guard at ST. James
Palace and the trooping of the color.
The picture of the procession of
Queen Victoria'S jubilee evoked much
enthusiasm. AS her Majesty appeared
in an open carriage bowling to the
throngs of people that lined the streets
the audience broke into prolonged
cheering.
The picture representing King Ed
ward on his way to the coronation was
splendidly arranged affair AS the
King appeared in the royal gilded
chariot, drawn by twelve magnificent
white Arab chargers. he received a
great volley of applause. Lord Roberts
was also similarly honored, as he ap-
peared in one of the passing pageants.
The lecture or talk of Mr.. Holmes
was in itself a great treat. He graph
ically described every picture in a high
ly comprehensive manner. Dashes of
sparkling humor were frequently in
terspersed throughout his interesting
remarks. The hall was packed to it's
greatest capacity. Applause was fire..
quent and spontaneous. I'm London
will be repeated again tonight, and
next to seeing London itself, comes

DANCING Wins
Her Place in
SeXtotte.

In the ranks of the sextet of dancing
girls, who perform the sensational
champagne dance in the Silver Slip
per-" which will be seen in the Grand
Opera House next week, is a little
American girl who was born and bred
in San Francisco. Her name is Gladys
Turner. and she will certainly demon
strate that dancers of the highest or
der can be found in America. 1t is no
longer necessary to bring them from
England.
One of the English dancers of the
sextet was taken sick the fore part of
the season and Mr.. Fisher was at loss
to know how to fill her place.
Miss Turner learned of the va
cancy, made application for the
position. was accepted, and it is safe
to say she can hold her own with any
of the other dancers, who are grad
uated from the famous George Ed
wards English school of dancing.
Miss Turner has not been seen in San
Francisco since she has acquired a
stage reputation. Her return to the
city of her birth will prove a delight to
her many friends.

PatroIrnan Dryers Mistake.

Patrolnnan Jerry" Dwyer had the
dissatisfaction of seeing three men
whom he arrested dismissed by Judge
Mogan. Acting on the complaint of S.
Polemus of 1877 Larkin street, who al
legged that he had been assaulted by
Harry Quig and Harry La Croux. the
officer went to the Fulton House, man
aged by ex-Superintendent of Streets
w. W. Ackerson, and there arrested
Quig and La Croux, and also took in
Ackerson for interfering. The Judge
held that the policeman had no right
to arrest Quig and La Croux without
having a warrant, as he did not wit
ness the battery complained of by
Polemus; also, that Ackerson was JUS
titled in attempting to prevent the lille
gal arrests in his house. Officer Dwyer
has been long enough on the force to
know better than to do what he did.

BANKERS SAY THAT STORY
OF SALE is UNTRUTHFUL
Bank of California Has Not Bought
London and San Francisco
Bank Limited

Manager Anderson of the Bank of
California and William Macintosh,
manager of the London and San Fran
cisco Bank, Limited, denied positively
Yesterday that there was any truth
In a published story that the Bank of
California had purchased the London
and San Francisco Bank. Manager
Macintosh said that the statement re-
sarding the sale that has appeared in
print was mendacious and asserted
that there has been no sale to either
the Bank of California or any other
bank. He also said that the story of
sale was ridiculous for the reason that
directors of British banks cannot sell
without the consent of the share
holders. More than one third of the
shares of the London and San Fran
cisco Bank are held in this city. Hence
there could be no sale, as it would be
necessary to give notice publicly to
the shareholders before asking their
consent to such transaction.

Child Restored to Father.

BY order of Judge Lawlor Ellen
Harvey, the 11-year-old girl who was
kidnapped from Eedding by her
mother, was restored to the father,
William Harvey, yesterday. The Har-
veys were divorced in 1897, and the
father was given the custody of four
children. Mrs. Harvey is now Mrs.
A. M. Newberg of this city. She al
leges that the father treats the chill
dren brutally and gave that as an ex-
cuse for kidnapping the little girl. The
mother acquiesced in the decision of
the Judge, but declares she will take
the proper steps to obtain the custody
of little Ellen. William S. Barnes ap-
peared for the father and Police Com
missioner Hutton for the mother.

BAD ROADS IN CHINA.

In China it is the policy of the
to encourage bad roads.
No work is done upon the country
roads: they are travelled over labori-
ousIy year in, year out, becoming al
most impossible, in places, and the
governments object is this: Where
the roads are so miserably bad the
people in distant parts of the en-
pire will not travel, will not COM
mingle with people in other parts OF
the empire and so each section will
be kept in ignorance. Few public
meetings and little association are
enioved and thus the people do not
have an opportunity to talk ovei
their wrongs and grievances, and thus
incite rebellion.
If China can promote ignorance by
bad roads, does it not stand to reasor
that more enlightened countries coulC
promote intelligence by adopting tht
other policy? By making Better hlgh
ways and more pleasant methods o
travel?
This policy of China should driv
every civilized nation to adopt tn
other policy on general principles
lest they be accused of following Il
China's footsteps.

1t is the right principle and the
people of oregon can thank Presi-
dent Roosevelt for it. Every man
who cries out against independence,
every man who seeks to lash the par
ties into line on partisan principles,
regardless of personal fitness, is an
enemy to Roosevelt and an enemy to
progress.
It is a bold thing to 90, to unseat
almost an entire congressional dele
cation. because of personal actions,
and regardless of past political ties,
but Roosevelt has dared to do it and
has taught the state its best lesson
by so doing. Hereafter there will be
more independence in oregon and the

THIS YEARS WHEAT CROP.

With $40, 900, 900 bushels of wheat
i'm prospect. according to careful es-
Inmates received from all the princi-
pal grain states, nature has given a
bond that prosperity will remain with
the American farmer for another year.
So optimistic are the reports from
most of the states that the conserva-
tive calculator might be warranted in
adding 100000 to 100000 BUSH
els to this estimate. Even then he will
be about 25,0OO,OO0 short of the total
suggested by the government report
on the May l condition.
Estimates from IA of the leading
winter wheat states. which furnish
nearly So per cent of the total grain
sown in the autumn, are that these
states will raise an aggregate of 34S,-
600 900 bushels this year, as COM
pared with 279,O0O,OOO bushels yeal
ago. and 355,1S3.656 in 1908. These
reports all come from state capital!
where boards of agriculture are To-
Gated. and most of them are semi
official.
While no definite reports are a
hand for the other individual state
raising wheat, the government show
ing for May l indicated total of So,

The big corporations, manufactur-

that are perfectly legitimate and hon

ods at times, in order to meet compe-
tition.
AS a direct example of what meth

the story of town in Idaho is per-
tinent. This town was talking of
buying a rock crusher to use in i'm
proving the streets, and while the
matter was under discussion agents
for four rock crusher companies came
to town and each in turn offered the
members of the city council bribe
to buy his crusher.
The first man set a price, offering
each member of the council what
he called a commission" of 500
each. the second fellow learned what
had been offered and raised the

The Germans have found an anti
