A wave is sweeping over the coun-
try. called by some wave of reform.
But that is hardly the word TO be used.
for in connection with the reform is
seen the determination To meet graft
with justice and a rigid enforcement
of the laws.

MRS. OELRICHS.
WILL REBUILD
Rialto to Be Recon
structed on It's Former
Handsome Lines.
Mrs. Vanderbilt to Erect
Large Office Struc-
ture Here.

Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs has decided to
reconstruct the Rialto building here
and her sister, Mrs Vanderbilt. will
put up large Office building on Mont
gomery street. They will also open up
the Morgan and Crystal mines at An
gels Camp.
This news is brought back from New
York by Thomas Magee. who returned
from a visit to the East last Friday.
Mr.. Magee says that both Mrs. Oelrichs
and Mrs. Vanderbilt are very enthusi-
astic over the future of this city. and
both expressed themselves TO him as
having the greatest confidence in its
future.
The Rialto building is to be restored
to its original beauty. Mrs Oelrichs
has already employed McKinnon, Mead
White of Boston and Bliss and Fa-
Vile of this city TO draw up the plans
for its remodeling. II will be on the
same lines as the original structure
and no expense will be spared 10 make
it what 1t was-one of the best struc-
lures on the Pacific Coast
Mrs. Oelrichs has not decided what
she will do regarding the site where
the Crossley building stood She ex-
poets, however. to determine later this
year what sort of structure she will
put up there.
Mrs Vanderbilt has had sketches
made for the new office building she
intends erecting on Montgomery street
next TO the Mills building on the north.
This is also to be q costly edifice with
every modern convenience.
Mr.. Magee says also that the Fair
sisters have authorized hin1 to open
up the Morgan and Crystal mines at
Angels Camp Shafts were sunk there
q few years ago, but the mines have
never been developed These are i'm
mediately adjoining the well known
Utica and Lightner mines. Work will
be commenced at once. which will give
employment to a large number of men.
This is only another example OF the
great faith that both the daughters Of
the late James G. Fair have In this
city and State.

NICHOLAS ASKS
SPEEDY ACTION
Says City Hall and Hall
of Justice Are Out
of Commission.

In a report that he made yesterday
to the Board of Supervisors, Supervisor
Fred Nicholas, chairman of the build
ing committee, stated that the City Hall
is total wreck, and that the Hall OF
Justice will have to be razed 10 the
ground. He suggested that immediate
action should be taken to save the city
thousands of dollars in rent. but the
communication was filed without com
ment. His report reads as follows:
Regarding the condition of the City
Hall and Hall of Justice l desire 10
say that as result of the earthquake
and fire the former is absolutely use
less and should be removed. the tower
alone being the only portion OF the
building resisting both earthquake and
fire 70 considerable extent, Parucn-
Many of the built up girders and eye
beams had the grain destroyed through
the agency of the fire, multiplying useful
the steel, and all steel thus affected
i'm this or any other building must be
removed If that degree of safety char
acteristic of private and particularly OF
public buildings is 10 be maintained.
Hence. whether the site formerly oc-
cupied by the City Han, now a COM
plete wreck, is 10 be the future home OF
the officials of this city, or a new loea-
tion ordered by the people, II is fact
that no temporary structure or ar
rangements should be made for the
known as the new City Hail.
Public safety and an enlightened
public policy demand the removal or
that mass of ruins and poor workman :
ship. as well as material used. both of
which constitute only a portion OF the
corruption practiced in the eonsTue-
tion of the building TO which the peo-
Dle of San Francisco have fallen heir.
The same is true OF the Hail OF JUS
tice. as far as damage by earthquake
and fire, all save a few OF the carry
ing or bearing girders destroyed by nre
having been bent or warped, the result
The Walls OF the Hall of Justice have
stood the test fairly well. and in fact:
when compared with other walls, stood
remarkably well, but to relieve the
building from the steel destroyed the
complete weakening of those walls now
standing would have 10 be accom-
pIished Hence, the removal of ali OF
the old building known as the Hail OF
basement of the Hall OF Justice is filled
with water, which renders II imposSf-
BILE as well as impracticable to consider
carefully the condition OF the founda-
tion.
In many instances material has been
removed both from the City Hall and
Hall of Justice, material quite valuable
In itself, and the undersigned would
recommend that the matter be looked
into and the proper control exercised
over the disposal OF all material
The Veterinary Hospital needs slight
repairs and can with little attention be
put in a perfectly safe safe ,Ssra,n Gondi5,on rbo 10
same is true Of the storehouse where
the election booths have been housed.
The undersigned recommends that
the matters drawn to the notice OF the
board be given attention. so that ume
NAV be taken by the forelock and vast
sums of money saved the iaxpayefS OF

The State OF Nevada. through School

ceived letter from Ring. in which
he says in part:
Nevada viii contribute toward re-
building your schoolhouses. She Is
in sympathy with the movement and
think will give literally in doing for
the children OF San Franctsco as they
would assuredly do for us under SIM
liar circumstances. 1 think the con-
tribution from Nevada will average
well with those of other communities
Of the same population"
The cities OF Mahoney. Pa: Chelsea,
Mass, and Santa Ana and San Diego
Cal, state that they are willing 70
take UP contributions in their schools
upon the reopening for the fall term.
The general spirit OF the givers is
shown by the following quotation from
the letter Of Superintendent Sterling
of Lansing, Mich, in which was In
closed $50:
While our draft is not as large as
that of some our sympathy is fully as.
deep as that Of those more fortunate
in contributing more" The same spirit
is shown in the letter from Superin-
tendent Baskerville OF White Plains.
N. Y, who inclOses the sum OF S34.37
and adds, 1T is needless for me TO say
that the teachers and pupils OF the
White Plains public schools sympa-
thize with the teachers and pupils OF
the San Francisco schools in this great
calamity"
The further sums contributed TO the
fund yesterday were: Highland Park,
