BY MRS. BOYD.

Police Sergeant David W. Boyd 10 the

CHINATOWN.

A meeting Of a committee from the
Chinese Merchants Association with a
committee from the board OF directors
Of the Merchants Association OF San
Francisco was held yesterday at the
Office OF the latter association, Midway
once building. for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of inducing prop
erty owners rebuilding in Chinatown
TO use the Oriental type of architecture

The Merchants Association has for
q long time believed ii possible to
have Chinatown not only Sanitary. but
attractive
The proposition Is 10 induce Chinese
who own property there to construct
their buildings with the exteriors OF
Chinese architecture. ard when renting
buildings from white owners 10 make
il a condition with them that such
buildings must have their exteriors
constructed IN a similar stxie
The representatives of the Chinese
Merchants Association attending the
meeting were greatly interested in this
matter, and expressed themselves as
fsvoring the proposition. They prom
ised to take 1t up with their members.

yesterday of the San Francisco and
Ceos Bay steamship line, which oper-
ates between here and Coos Bay.
The following Interpretation of the
Hepburn bill will lay at rest all doubt
regarding the powers Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission with regard to
steamship lines. The opinion was OBJ
tained from gentleman high in the
railroad world. who said:
The first section of the interstate
! commerce law specifically provides that
the transportation Of property from
any foreign place to the United States,
or vice versa, shall come within it's
provisions At the meeting of railway
counsel IN Chicago 1t was decided that
the same rule. by inference would ap-
ply 70 the transportation OF passen-
gers, though it was admitted that there
was little doubt on the subject Con-
siderable discussion has arisen among
the railway agents who sell both
steamship and railway tickets as to
whether or not an agent makes himself
liable 10 the penalties OF the law IL he
cuts his steamship commission. All
railway agents are paid salaries, but
the steamship remuneration comes
from commissions paid on business Sc
cured. passenger going to Italy may
purchase through the same agent
rail ticket to New York and a steam
ship ticket beyond. It is claimed by
some of the agents that if they get the
full fare for the railroad ticket
they can do what they please about
cutting the steamship rate. 1t is
pointed out that the steamship COM
panies doing foreign business can
cut the rates when and where they
please. Against this 1T is argued that
II the cutting of the rate can in any
way be shown to influence the rail
journey. the action comes within the
province of the law, and this. it is be-
lieved, VIII ultimately secure legal
sanction"

DIR. Jenkins Lecture Last
Night.

The Mems Club course Of
lectures was finished last night
by DR.. Jenkins. His lecture
on Our National Greatness
and Our Responsibility was
highly appreciated. The lee
ture was we'll thought out, clear
ly illustrated and closely reas-
oned. The speakers training
as a college president and thee
logical professor was apparent.
He knew the limitations of ed
ucation and legislation as "cure
alls." He examined great ma
terial resources, inventive
genius, military power and
genius for government, as the
means of giving permanency to
a nation and found them in
adequate unless combined with
conscience and a sense of re-
sponsibility to the Creator. The
secret of national permanency
lies in the Individual. Good
people make good laws and see
that they are enforced. God
must be realized and His plans
co-operated with if we desire
success. Oppose Him, live on
a lower plain than His wishes
and we will, like the nations of
the past, encounter retributive
Justice and be swept aside.
This was the drift of the lee
ture. The speaker called upon
Americans to realize their le-
sponsibillty as a "brother's
keeper" to the less enlightened
peoples of the world. The lee
turer showed a fine moral pur-
pose, depth of conviction and
the courage of his opinions.
His delivery is pleasing and he
held the close attention of his
audience to the end of his ad-
dress.
