DEVISE SCHEME
TO GET SCHOOL
SCIENCE HIGH BIDS SCALED
WITHIN LIMIT
Arroyo seeo Building to Be Enlarged,
AHordlng Better Educational
Facilities In That
Vicinity

Members of the building committee of
the city board of education yesterday
submitted a plan by which the cost of
erecting the science high school build
ing can be reduced within the limits of
the funds at the disposal of the board.
When the bids for this building were
opened a few days ago it was found
that the lowest bid exceeded the esti-
mate Of the board by about $4,000.
The F. o. Engstrum company offered
to do the work for 697 for the build
ing and SIS, ,665 for the boiler house and
heating and power plant. This made
total of $10S.362, as against an esti-
mate of about $4,000 made by the board
some time ago.
AS the appropriations already made
out of the high school building fund did
not permit of this expenditure for the
science high school, the bids were re-
ferred back to the building committee
with instructions to confer with the
architect and contractor with a view
to changing the plans so as to reduce
the cost.
Engstrum Gets 1t
The recommendation made by the COM
mittee was that all bids for the heat
ing plant be rejected and that the Eng
strum company's bid of $92, ,697 for the
construction of the building be ac-
cepted, with a deduction of $4,000 on
account of the heating apparatus being
omitted from the specifications.
This will bring the actual cost of the
building down to SSS,697. The recon-
mendation was adopted by the board
and the contract awarded to the Eng
strum company.
On recommendation of the same com
mittee 1t was also decided to purchase
sixty-foot lot adjoining the Arroyo Seco
avenue school on the east and to erect
an eight-room school building on the
site. The cost of the lot will be about
$500.
This school is intended to accommo-
date the pupils of that vicinity and the
advanced pupils of the Thirty-f1fth ave-
nue. school. At present all pupils above
the fourth year must go to either the
Fifty-fourth avenue or Twenty-first
avenue school, which is a long distance
either way.
Assistant Superintendent Bettinger
said the erection of the Arroyo Seco
school would accomplish another i'm
portant purpose, in that it would bring
the schools of that section of the city
into pairs. The two schools at Gates
work together, and the same would be
true of the two which would be erected
at Arroyo Seco avenue.
G.. w. Bells bid of $11,277 for the
erection of the four-room addition to
the Seventh street school was accepted
and the contract awarded to him 1t
was also decided to employ a superin-
tendent of construction for the new
high school building at a salary not to
exceed SIS a day.
Demands approved by the finance
committee were allowed as follows: On
high school fund, $25625; on county
fund, $2S31 40; on common school fund,
$67 .65; on common school building fund,
S2920 rs.

CLUB
GROWS RAPIDLY
PROMISES TO BECOME THE
WORLDS LARGEST
Social Organization to Include Visit
ina Shriners From All Sections
of Globe Now Numbers over
800 Members

"The Visiting Shriners' club is des-
tined to be the largest club in the
world" said Charles Hathaway, presi-
dent of the club. yesterday
Several months ago Mr.. Hathaway
conceived the idea of forming a club
for the entertainment of visiting
Shriners which might include in its
membership the visiting Shriners from
all over the world. He went to work
against much opposition and discour-
agement, but finally he enlisted the
interest of several local Shriners in his
object which resulted in a meeting
March 5 last in Blanchard hall, when
the Visiting Shriners' club was or
ganized with siXty-five members. The
membership is now more than 800 and
shows steady increase. In further
speaking of the prospects of the club
Mr.. Hathaway said:
THE initiation fees are advancing
rapidly and it behooYes all Shriners
who can to make application for mem
bership as soon as possible to save the
expenses that would incur by delay.
THE club has outgrown its present

JAIL POPULATION
is REDUCED
NUMBER NOW LESS THAN FOR
PAST -FOUR YEARS
Only 90 Names Are on the Books,
Whereas One Night Last Win.
ter JaIler MecauIley Enter
taIned 25e Visitors

The number of prisoners in the city
jail has been reduced so that all can
be comfortably housed. The smallest
number who have been in Jail since
j. w. McCaulley was appointed TALLER
four years ago were cared for yester-
day.
The time of year is said to be re-
'sponsible for the paucity of people in
carcerated. The crimes committed dur
ing the sumer months this year are said
by the police to be perpetrated mostly
by small boys. The boys are taken to
the detention home. There are no at
fractions in the city for notorious and
professional crooks.
When Jailer McCaulley looked over
the prison rolls yesterday morning he
heaved sigh of relief. Only ninety
two names were on the books. Five
of these are women.
When seen regarding the conditions
of the Jail during the past eight or nine
months, Mr.. McCaulley replied that
they had been very bad
1--WE need more ROOM" he said. 1--WE
cannot care for more than 125 people
comfortably and in a sanitary manner.
We had 259 prisoners here one night last
winter and I32 one night in January
this year. You ought to have seen them
huddled together in the tanks.
THE largest number we have had
since l have been here was on Christ
mas eve, 1908. Two hundred and sew
enty-nine people were placed behind
the bars. Among them were about
seventy-five drunks. They had to lie
down in the manner of mosaic floor
In order to get a place to sleep. 1t
was a good thing that they could not
realize their conditions.
I'VE are quite able to take care of
the prisoners now confined
Prisoners Not Complaining
Mr. McCaulley has been commended
by the police authorities for the sue
cessful manner in which he has coped
with all the difficulties which have con-
fronted him since lie has been jailer
Four weeks during the time when the
legal holidays were declared in April,
May and June the prison was crowded
with about 200 prisoners every night.
Very little complaint is ever heard
from the prisoners on account of harsh
treatment. The only thing which they
are accustomed to criticse is the small
ness of the quarters.
OF the five women now in JAIL three
are negresses. Mrs Aureli;. Scheck is
the only woman in the Jail charged with
serious offcnse. She is awaiting trial
on the charge of being an accomplice
in the murder of her husband
Nearly all the prisoners are serving
short sentences. This makes the jailer
begin to look around seriously for his
trusty. The chain gang is somewhat
smaller than it was short time ago.
Very few men who are tradesmen are
confined. There is usually the jail car
penter, tailor, barber, plumber, etc.
None of these places are now filled.

SUES FOR BREACH OF PROMISE

Suit for breach C promise in which
$4,000 damages are asked was filed with
the county clerk yesterday morning by
Miss Nancy j. Pryor against Edward
D. McArdle.
In the complaint it is alleged that
McArdle asked the plaintiff to marry
him on March 10 last. and that the
wedding bells were to ring July H.
McArdle is accused o. not only failing
to see that he carried out his part of
the promise, but also of marrying Ca
lesta L. Lewis on the day which the
plaintiff claims was set for her we'd

The acoustics of the house are perfect.
Especially is this so during a fog, say
the managers. At such times the nat
ural dampness attendant has tend
ency to stretch the canvas and the in
side of the tent is like the inside of a
drum. Under those conditions the
acoustics of the theater are so good
that whisper on the stage may be
heard equally as distinctly in the rear
of the theater as in the front part of
the stage.
Immediately in front of the stage is
the orchestra pit. This is not built as
far below the level of the floor of the
stage as Is ordinarily customary. The
sides of the tent are half boarded, per-
haps to prevent the smaller San Fran
ciscans from creeping under the tent.
The managers say this feature adds
much to the acoustics of the theater.
The new Central tent theater is the
home of one of the best stock COM
panies that ever played in the Golden
Gate city,, say San Franciscans. The

scenes in front of the Central tent
theater, with it's automobiles, carriages
and street cars. are similar to those
of the nights when fun reigned SUI
preme on O'Farre11 street.
The new tent theater measures 90x200
feet. The two principal poles in the
tent are 3S feet in height. An interest
ing feature of the construction of the
huge canvas is the absence of a center
pole. In its place two telegraph poles
are erected Immediately in front and
Immediately behind the tent.
From the top of one of these poles
to the top of the other is extended a
heavy cable. To the central part of
this cable is attached a block and
tackle which supplants the necessary
use of the center pole.
The stage of the Central tent theater

tion of the old Grand opera house on

Nelson Torsten is now acting as the
inspector of the rangers.
Diminished Force
Three weeks ago the number of
rangers in the San Gabriel and San
Bernardino reserves was diminished
from fifty to thirty-five, many of the
men who were appointed as forest
guards without any civil examination,
were released, and some of those who
had taken the examination in San
Bernardino two months ago were also
released.
The outcome of the examination has
not been given out, but 1t is said sew
eral of the men who took them have
passed with credita BILE marks, and these
will probably superSede men who are
now on the reserve and who have new
er taken any civil service examinations.
In speaking of the men who have
been temporarily discharged from the
service, Supervisor Charlton said:
1.-THE men were taken off chiefly be-
cause the appropria tions for California
were more or less inadequate, and the
fact that these areas in northern Cali
fornia where men are needed more than
here demanded that it should be equal
lied.
might take their places in northern
California where they must have larger
forces"
Game Wardens Too
Through the efforts of County Game
Warden Morgan most all of the rangers
and forest guards have been appointed
as deputy game wardens, and viola
tions of the game laws will be few, II
is thought in the San Gabriel and San
Bernardino reserves.
The regulation which was in force
last year in regard to permits to carry
a rifle in the reserve has been done
away with this season and no permit
is necessary for hunters going into the
range.
Reports from several of the ranges
show that the deer are to be found in
the local ranges more plentiful this
year than last and many hunters who
expected to hunt in Ventura county
have decided to take their outing near
er TO home.
Sam Hall of Pasadena, who has been
known as one of the most successful
of local hunters, expects to try his luck
in the Haines canyon, where he has
got the limit during the past three sea-
sons. Mr.. Hall got three bucks In the
Haines canyon last year, and he says
the first of August will see him on the
Tehunga side of the Haines canyon,

I'm THE day when Hon. T. P.
Lukens, former acting forest su-
pervisor, and his bride were
held up and robbed of $50 by highway
men In the Yosemite valley, he received
notice of his promotion to the position
of general inspector of government nur-
series in California.
At the same time Ruston Charlton,
formerly special inspector of forest
service for the agricultural department,
was appointed as supervisor of the San
Gabriel and San Bernardino forest re-
serves to succeed Mr.. Lukens.
A few days later G.. b. Lull, formerly
inspector of forest extension, was ap-
pointed as state forester by Governor
manager at Henniger flats, was ap-
pointed to take LulPs position as forest
inspector.
Since that time E. T. Allen who was
formerly inspector of forest extension
in Washington and Oregon, has been
appointed to a government position in
Washington and will probably take up
his new position within the next few
weeks.
To Plant Millions
Just when Mr.. Lukens will take his
new position is not definitely known,
but it is said when his leave of absense
expires In six weeks he will begin the
supervision of government nurseries
throughout the state and millions of
cedar and pine trees will be planted in
the northern part of the state, and the
nurseries at Henniger flats will be en-
larged.
For years Mr.. Lukens has made re-
forestration a study, and in his new
position he will have the opportunity

THE spirit of '49 which has predomi-
mated in San Francisco since the
disastrous morning of April IS, in
the opinion of the business and profess

streets.
Standing as it does in the heart of
the burned district, directly opposite
the awful wreck of the 100000 city

regarded as a striking example Of
American industry and the indomitable
