Why in all my life I never heard
of such outrageous conduct he said
when the prosecution had rested its
case. Soaring ladies as they walked
along the street, Can it be possible?
Dear me-"
why did you do it?" the Judge In

Since the police became active in en-
deavor to suppress the illegal selling of
liquor in the neighborhood of the Presdio
gates the social life thereabouts has re-
ceived marked impetus in the way for
ganization. Clubs have sprung up with
mushroom-like rapidity, and where once
such signboards as THE Son of Mars
The Manila" " "The Boy in Khaki THE
Starry Flag" and 1.-The Old Glory
caught the soldiers eye and attracted his
footsteps, his attention is now captured
by THE Military Club" The Army
Club. THE Rightaboutface Club and
other titular tokens of convivial associa-
ton. This development is ascribed by
the police to an idea on the part of GER
tain blind pig proprietors that by or
ganizing club they can sell liquor to Its
members and bid defiance to the munich
pal liquor laws, and the arrest of Will
liam Krisky, managing director of the
Osceola Social Club, with headquarters
at Lyon and Lombard streets, within
stone throw of the Presidio main en-
trance, will determine whether the club
idea is as unassailable as its promoters
imagine. Patroman Marsh made the ar
rest and Judge Mogan continued the
case until the defense can subpoena the
Osceola Club members to prove that they
do not pay directly for the liquor they
consume, but do pay club dues

sicerably surprised yesterday when he received

SISTERS PLAN
NEW HOSPITAL
st. Mary's Will Be Moved to
Other Location as Soon
as Ground Is Purchased
MANY SITES CONSIDERED
Seems Lillely-Th Structure
Will Be Erected at Stan
yam and Hayes Streets

If the plans of the sisters in charge are
carried out St Marys Hospital, which
has stood for forty years at the corner of
First and Bryant streets will move to
new quarters. While nothing definite has
been done toward the actual purchase of
lot for the new building. Mother Supe-
rlor Euphrasia has been negotiating for
several pieces of property. The one that
VIII probably be selected is the block ad-
Joining Golden Gate Park bounded by
Stanyan,l Hayes, Grove and Shrader
streets. This block is in one of the pret-
tlest parts of the city and the location is
ideal for a hospital
The sisters in charge of st. Mary's have
long felt the need of a newer and more
commodlous building for their use as
hospital For the last four years they
have been planning ways by which they
would be able to build to suit themselves
The first location that was seriously con-
sidered was the Richmond District, but
the doctors decided that this was too far
away from the center of the city The
proposedslots adjoining the park are very
suitable for a modern hospital. A large,
airy building capable of accommodating
great number of patients and up-to-
date in every detail will be constructed
when the final purchase of the land is
made.
The old building on Bryant street, so
long noted landmark of San Francisco,
will be sold and the proceeds invested in
the new building 1t must be with a
sigh of regret that this old structure. for
so many years an example of tender
kindness to the sick and injured, looks
forward to it's future as the ill-smelling
warehouse of a possible coffee merchant
or as cheap lodgfng-house for those
poverty stricken wretches who will be
forced to seek its shelter.

nlltted he kept il on his floor four months. he
insisted that he be given the right TO return il

with the result that DR.. Orlow must pay for
