DOCKS FOR
POTRERO DISTRICT
w. J. Bartnett Tells How to
Improve Shipping Facil-
tiles Around India Basin

w. J. Bartnett. vice president OF the
Western Pacific Railroad. has addressed
a comprehensive plan to the Potrero
Commercial and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, asking the cooperation Of that
body in improving the shipping facil-
ities of this port and competing against
the growing prestige which Seattle is
gaining through the enterprise of J. J.
Hill the railroad and steamship mag
nate.
Rartnett declares that il is first neces-
sary TO have local dockage charges re-
duced, and that a commission of en-
gineers be chosen to prepare plans
for Improvements which can be car
ried out systematically under appro-
priations made from year to year. India
Basin is the particular point Of the city
front which Bartnett seeks to have de-
veloped. The belt line of railroad
should be extended TO the Potrero, the
correspondent states, and an adequate
seawall built along the southern line
Of the bay. Tt is estimated that it
would require about $4,000, 600 for
completion for the proposed plans
1t is suggested that Congress, the
State Of California and the city OF
San Francisco unite in defraying the
expenses Of the work, andt that the
commercial bodies of the city sub
scribe $4,000 to defray the prelimi-
nary expenses of the work, which
would include the preparation of plans
by the engineers and incidental ex-
penses in putting the matter before the
public

THOUSANDS HEADING
TOWARD THIS CITY
Daily Colonist Arrivals
From the Eastern States
Average Eight Hundred

California is receiving 500 visitors a
day, according to the estimate made by
the passenger department of the South
ern Pacific. The colonist rate, which
went into effect on September 1, has
been the means of bringing $4,000 per-
sons to the State in the last thirty
days, and as the majority of these colo
nists came by the Ogden gateway it is
safe to presume that they intend to
settle in Central California
San Francisco is receiving large
numbers of men daily. and they are of
the better class OF mechanics. This
shows that the high rate of wage that
has been established is proving a strong
inducement for carpenters and those
following the building trades to make
their home here.
In previous years the southern part
of the State was the great field for the
colonist. but the opening of cheaper
farming land In the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys has brought many
to this section of the country.

DR.. ROSENSTIRN To
BUILD HOTEL.

DR.. Julius Rosenstirn has had the
plans prepared for his new hotel.
which he will erect on the northwest
corner of Sutter and Hyde streets. This
hotel will be one of the handsomest in
the city and will be strictly class A
structure. It's exterior is to be after
the style of the French Empire, being
white and gold
It's interior finishing is to be superb.
There are to be bathrooms. private
dining rooms, large sitting rooms. and
it is the intention of the builder to
have as beautiful a private hotel as
there is in the city. There is to be no
wood in the building, with the excep-
ton of the hardwood floors, so the dan
ger from fire will be minimized. The
structure will be seven stories In
height and will have about 400 rooms.
Its cost is estimated at 100000. The
plat has a frontage of 1875 feet on
Sutter street and 77:6 on Hyde. The
lot is now being cleared.
A. Englander has commenced work
on a four story building on the north
east corner of Turk and Taylor streets.
which will cost IN the neighborhood of
$4,000 It will be on an irregular

will have sixty-six rooms, twenty-five
on each of the three rfoors. The ground
floor will be used for stores. The rooms
are to be beautifully finished, large,
light and airy. The house is to have
two big light wells.
B. Sheidemann is building a five
story class building of reinforced
concrete on the northwest corner of
Sixth and Howard streets, which will
\ be used as a rooming house. 1t is to
have 200 rooms, with four stores on
Sixth street and two on Howard. 1t
will be on a lot 117:6 feet on Howard
street and 72 feet on Sixth.
Eugene Stoupe has started work on a
seven story rooning house on OFar-
rell street. between Mason and Taylor,
which will cost $4,000. Six floors will
be used for rooms and there will be
one store on the ground floor. The lot
! is 27:6 feet with a depth of 1876.

ALLEN ROPER SAYS
He HIS NO WIFE.
Man-About-Town Declares
He Was Never Married
While In New Zealand
POLICE APPEALED TO

Shortly before he left on his tour
Of Europe Mayor Schnitz received a
letter from q woman in New Zealand
who signed her name Mrs. A. Mott
Roper" asking him to assist her in
finding an errtng husband who, she
alleged. had deserted her several
years before and come to the Pacific
Coast. The woman declared that she
had learned that her husband was in
San Francisco from letters he had
written to old flames IN New Zealand
after deserting her, and that she was
very anxious to learn how she could
get in communication with him.
The Mayor turned the letter over to-
the police, and Detective Charles Tay-
ior. who was assigned to the case. sue
ceeded in locating an Allen e. Roper
ploy of Sherwood & Sherwood, the
wholesale liquor dealers. Before going
to Los Angeles Roper was well known
in San Francisco, where he was en-
ployed by the same firm. Before the
fire in April he was familiar figure
about the Palace and St Francis ho-
tells. and was locked upon as one of
the men about-town and bon vivants,
whose gayety was not dulled by the
discretion that is supposed to be en-
gendered by the matrimonial yoke.
His engagement to we'll known
young woman of San Francisco, in fact.
was being talked of just before the
fire. A representative Of The Call
succeeded in finding Roper at Los An
geles last night
Roper was very much agitated when
asked about the woman in New Zeal
and claiming to be his wife, but de-
MED any knowledge of her. He ad-
mitted having lived in New Zealand
however, and said he came to the
States about six years ago. The re-
port about the police having been
asked to locate him in San Francisco
must have been a joke, he declared,
but he seemed to take 1T seriously.
Il am widely known all along the
Pacific Coast, and I do not think that
any one can say that I have ever be-
come entangled with any woman" said
Roper.
My mother and father came from
New Zealand with me, and have now
returned to England. have never
been married, either in New Zealand
or this country. and cannot imagine
what any woman would want to trou-
BILE me for
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in locating Roper at the store
of Sherwood & Sherwood. One of the
proprietors was told the subject was
of great importance to Roper.
Across the water or on this side %
was his significant question by way
of reply.
