OF all the skyscrapers the Kohl
building suffered least. Though the
fire slightly damaged the four lower
floors, the rest of the structure escaped
injury. Those who had offices on the
upper floors still retain them, and the
lower floors are rapidly being put into
condition for those who occupied them
before the fire.
The fact that the Kohl building re-
mains standing is conclusive evidence
that a perfectly fireproof building can
be constructed. The structure was as
fiercely assailed by the flames as any
of its neighbors, but the material in it
resisted their onslaught. The building
was erected BY Alvinza Hayward and
formerly bore his name.
The Columbus Bank building a
stanch little granite structure at the
corner of Montgomery and Jackson
streets, also escaped with nominal in
jurics. 1t is owned By 1. w. Hellnan
Jr. The bank was among the first to

MONEY FROM SAX FRANCISCO

today. He said:
In New York money is working a lit

factor of the monetary situation is the
steady manner in which funds are re-

In any event. the change will be very
slight. The demand for funds will be
pressing until we'll into the fall at
least.
We are rapidly nearing the time
when funds for the various July dis
bursements will be needed. Following
that will come the call from the interior
for money with which 10 move the

weeks, and will carry US into the au-
tumn, when business and speculation
will take on renewed vigor and the

County Jail on a technical charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses
Against him are likely to be placed a
large number of complaints. for the

hundreds of people. many of them prom
inent business men in this city, by pre-
tending that he needed contributions
for a mythical colored institute and
charitable school he claimed to have
established near Merced. The sum of
his operations will exceed $4,000.
Rousseau was arrested this afternoon
in Hanford. a small town in the south
ern part of the State. through the efforts
of Arthur Free. a well-known attorney
of Mountain View. whose clients first
set the officers of the law on the trail
of the preacher. The local authorities
say the man has no school. and has been
using the money for mis- own purposes.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK. June S.-Jacob H.
Schiff. on his return today to this city
from his trip to Japan, gave out a
statement in which he paid strong
tribute to the Japanese character and
expressed the view that the promise
of the "open door" in Korea and Man
churia will be kept. He spoke of
Korea as being an out of date country
which. however, under the increasing
Japanese control, gives promise Of
rich results.
Nothing is heard or seen of the ef-
feet of the recent war, says Schiff-
The people neither talk about it nor
have they become overbearing or in
any manner intoxicated by their great
victories. but have quietly gone to
work to develop their industries and
TO increase their commerce and trade
and to get a fair control over the new
markets which the success of their
armies has opened up for them.
"A tendency to exclude other ma
tions from these markets does not ex-
ist, asserts Schiff. the uniform and
repeated assurance being readily given
by Japan that the promise of the open
door in Korea and Manchuria will. as
far as Japna is concerned, be strictly
carried out. Korea is gradually get
ting under effective Japanese control
and administration which will be of
much benefit to this. entirely out of
date country. the resources of which
appear to have been dormant for CEN
turies and which. with proper and in
telligent administrative means, should
promise rich results
Great friendship is expressed for
Americans. We were the recipients of

nifty was given us to become acauaint-
