NEW BUILDING ON HARNEY
Structure to BE Erected mt North
west Corner of Nineteenth
street.

A building costing somewhere between
$4,000 and $4,000 is promised by Sinner g.
Chase and the Barker company for the
northwest corner OF Nineteenth and Harvey
streets. 1t will be either four or five
stories in height and will be s4xs5 feet,
which is the size of the lot for which Che
deal has just been closed by Sinner &
Chase with the heirs of an English es-
tate TO whom the lot belonged.
The two firms have definitely decided to
build. and # is their expectation to erect
the building this fall. Negotiations are
under way with prospective tenants, and
two sets of preliminary plans will be drawn
for the inspection OF the two concerns
which would use a large floor space. A
deal will be made with one OF these. It
is probable, though not sure, that only the
lower foor will be used for business, and
that the upper stories will be made into
apartment houses.
A lot on Nineteenth street and in the
same block, was sold this spring by the
First Christian church for $4,000. Sinner
& Chase are at present erecting a small
store building on the second lot north OF
their new purchase.

COUPLE GIVES POLICE SLIP
Man and Woman Caught Fishing,
but They DO Not Go
to Jail.

Last evening Sergeant Vanous De
tectives Mitchell and Shepherd and Emerg-
ency Officer He'll were detailed from the
police station to go TO Cut-On lake and
look for some men suspected of stealing
old iron and brass. 1t was reported the
suspects maintained fence in a tent
along the lake. A tent was located and
the policemen entered only to find Mr.. and
Mrs. McGraw, who are well known to the
police, though not the parties in quest at
that particular time. Thinking the Nc
Graws might have known something of the
men the police were looking for they were
told to don their clothes quickly and go to
Jail. Having dressed the McGraws asked
permission to go through the rear of the
tent to an adjoining room the officers
thought.
The police waited long and patiently
until they grew suspicious. Opening the
rear Of the tent their vision extended over
the lake with the McGraws pulling for the
opposite shore in a boat.
After skulking in the tent for a minute
the policemen wended their way back to
headquarters and told the captain they had
had water haul" In police parlance
water haul" means when a prisoner or
prisoners escape in a boat on Cut-Off lake
at night time with four officers left waiting
in a tent.

RAPID RISE OF OLD FRISCO

The Union Pacific passenger department
has received an interesting communication
from its agent at San Francisco, which
shows the rapid progress being made in
the rebuilding of the city, The letter says:
The first permanent brick building in the
downtown or burned district has just
was a piece OF bare land covered with a
mass of brick and twisted pipe. Today a

Provisions for the TeopenIng OF the San
Francisco schools have presented problem
Of extraordinary magnitude, but the situa-
tion has been met with energy character
temporary structures have been erected
and ten more are in course Of construc-
tion.
Monday. July %, was an eventful day in
rollment Of 1900 is reported by the au-
thorities-a much larger percentage OF the
pected. The number has steadily Increased
this week and II is expected that before
the term is over the number OF young
"twigs" undergoing the bending process OF
our public school system will nearly APP
proach the normal figure.
The reduced attendance Is accounted for
by failure of many children to report i'm
mediately owing to change OF address and
location. Others have temporary homes In
nearby towns, their parents only awaiting
the rebuilding of their homes to resume
their residence in San Francisco.
Aid for the rebuilding OF the schools is
coming in from all parts Of the United
States, in sums large and small The spirit
OF generosity displayed will make a perma-
nent impression upon the minds of the
children of the flre-blighted city and con-
tribute greatly TO the development OF broth

Insurance Trust Funds.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: Ny attention has been called to
an editorial in your issue Of the % inst,
headed, "A Struggle over Trust Funds" "
from which beg to quote as follows:
Not a dollar for all this vast campaign
expense has been raised in pursuance OF
any general levy upon the policyholders or
appeal to them for contributions"
Permit me to correct a mistaken i'm
preston in that respect and to enclose a
copy Of the address of the international
Policyholders' committee containing an ap-
peal for funds. In addition to this ad-
dress the circular is being mailed, with a
subscription blank, to all polcyholders
whose addresses are obtainable. num-
Der of voluntary contributions have al
ready been made and we have no doubt
that ample funds will be contributed by
the policyholders. There is no other source
from which they can come. There Is no
powerful or other financial interest back
OF this movement on the part of the policy
holders. On the contrary, It Is an unselfish
and disinterested campaign by men of ma
tional reputation to protect the policyhold.
ers and as such II ought to receive the
hearty support of the press and the public
None of the men concerned in the move
ment have any personal interest to serve
Without organization the policyholders are
helpless. l am sure that the names OF
the men constituting the committee will
serve as a guaranty of their entire good
faith and public spirit,

PARLIAMENT SESSION ENDS
British Ministry Pleased with Amount Of
Solid Lsgislati Accomplished.
EDUCATION BILL LEFT WITH LORDS
Government Promises 10 Push
This Measure In Autumn and
Historic struggle is
Expected.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-If nothing sensational
was achieved or no great regulations were
won or lost the new liberal Parliament.
which has adjourned. distinguished itself
as a working Parliament ana the ministers
have every reason to be satisfied with the
solid amount of legislation done Guring
their first session. This was largely a
result OF the reformed rules OF procedure
adopted early In the session. which proved
invaluable from a time-saving viewpoint
Besides passing the principal measure be-
fore It, the education bill, almost all the
measures promised in the kings opening
speech either were passed or reached an
advanced stage in committee, which will
allow Of their being finished at the autumn
session when the government will promise
to appropriate all the time Of the house to
the bill. The Irish laborers' cottages bill,
the colonial marriages bill, T. p. OCon-
nors musical copyright bill and a large
number of minor bills were passed, and
the trades disputes bill, the workmen' s
compensation bill and the merchant ship
ping bill are all in an advanced condition.
The feature commanding interest in the
autumn session will be the struggle just
opened between the House of Lords and
the House of Commons over the education
bill and It may prove a historic struggle,
for Lord Lansdowne, Lord Hslsbury and
other peers are said to be determined to
throw out the bill on its third reading II
the House Of Commons declines to accept
the amendments made TO It in the House
Of Lords.
Perhaps the men who have obtained the
greatest prominence in the public eye In
the session just ended are Winston Spencer
Churchill, under secretary for the colonies,
and Augustine Birrell. president Of the
Board of Education.
