Dick. I'll get one OF the caddies TO

Tomorrow? And won't be here to-

up the steps and stood beside the little
figure in the long carriage wrap.
In the sky few stars were strug-

In the clubrooms the fire leaped as high
m Dicks shoulder, making the veranda
doorway a searchiight that could be
seen far down the road.
Dick dexuousIy led Miss Blake out
of the doorway into the shadow OF the
ivy vines.
"Mollie," he said, "you know I'm

heads turned twice on the pillow. I'm
In dead earnest tonight. You've got

note Of reproof and she lifted her little
nose daintiy in the air. Anyhow,
she added c0ndescendiugly, while dim

"Propinquity?' echoed Dick vaguel!
"Uh-huh," confirmed Miss Blake, not

CHINESE PROTEST
AGAINST F0RCIBLE
CHANGE OF SITE
Make Demand for

Location.
Consulate Is Stlll
Property OF
Empress.

Behind closed doors the Chinese Con-
sui General. Vice Consul and secretary
Of the Legation and representatives OF
the Six Companies net with the local
committee on the permanent location
of Chinatown and formally presented
= vigorous protest against being 10
ca+ed" in any. section Of san Francisco
other than that chosen oy The indlvlo-
nal members OF the race. The Chinese
maintain that they have the privilege
Of building and living next door TO any
citizen, and while appreciaung the az
vantage to themselves Of having
quarter. demand that the quarter De
OF their own selection
The Chinese Government taxes
hand in the controversy through the
eact that the Consulate is imperial
Chinese property and beyond the power
Of any citizens. This plat Of ground
situated in the old Chinatown will form
e nucleus about which tie Chinese VINO
own their own property in the old quar-
Ter may gather uamolssted and so IN
The course of time Chinatown may
again arise amid the ruins
The committee will attempt to argue
the Chinese into the necessity Of
deep water frontage for Chinatown ana
the saving Of the eKorbitant charges
Of the Chinese expressmen for draying
and teaning. Should the Chinese fan
70 prove amenable TO this view, the
only relief the city will have viii be 70
refuse the Celesttals building permits
From this stringent method Of prevent
ing a new Chinatown In the old quar-
Ter the Chinese will have the right of
sppeal to the injunction law.
The Chinese Consul General, Chung
Hsi. was the first speaker after Chair
man Abe Ruef raped for order. The
Consul presented the views Of his En-
peror's Government IN emphatic but
courteous terms. He. began by assur-
ing the committee Of the desire Of the
Chinese TO facilitate in settling the
problem Of location. He added, how
ever, that the Consulate must be near
the heart Of the city, and accorded the
same rights as any other foreign Con-
sulate.
Vice Consul ow Yang King echoed
the statements Of his superior. as did
also the First Secretary OF the Lega-
ton, Isl Chi Chow. The Chinese off,
cials maintain that the Consulate site
Is imperial territory and no amount Of
coercion viii compel them to withdraw
unless an equally valuable and acces-
sible site is afforded them. The Con-
sui General stated that the imperial
Government was seriously considering
the estab blishment of the Consulate

of Craft.

In reference to the influx Of arcai-
tects TO San Francisco IL response to
a supposed demand on the part of San
Francisco for architects to assist in the
rebuilding of the city, the California
State Board Of Architecture, through
its secretary. Lionel Deane, has made
public the following communication:
Through an absurd rumor that has
gained currency throughout the United
States, and by which ii is claimed that
the Mayor has telegrapheG for archi-
tects, a large number are fiocking into
the city expecting TO find immediate
employment,
The State Board Of Architecture
held meetings on April 80 and May 1
to arrange examinations ir the near
future and purpose holding a series OF
examinations in accordance with the
law requiring architects to be certifi-
Gated.
we would advise all persons who
propose coming to California to prac-
tice the profession of architecture that
there are over $50 certified architects
and over 1000 draughtsmen in the
State"
The San Francisco call., 1906-05-03

Companies, while not speaking official
", declared that the Chinese here will
demand an equally favorable location
and that through the companies agents
il was ascertained that Chinese owning
property in Chinatown were 10th to re-
linouish #. He said that segregation
was the best thing for the Cinnamon
generally, but that individually they
would refuse to remain In an unac-
ceptable location. In support Of this he
called attention to the fact that there
are only 200 Chinese left In the Pre-
sicso encanpment, where, after the fire,
there were many thousands.
Yesterday afternoon the committee,
comprising Abe Ruef, Jeremiah. Deneen
and the Rev. DR.. Fflben, visited vari-
Gus parts of the city and today will re-
port to the general executive commit
tee.
According TO members Of the COM
uaittee, nothing but unofficial and in
formal business was discussed. As
surances Of friendliness and co-opera-
ton were exchanged and the commit
tee assured the Chinese representatives
that there would be no oppression or
attempt to drive the Mongolians out of
the city. The committee claimed that
the Chinese representatives stated that
the location OF Chinatown was none of
theirs (the celestials) business
