China the Land of silk.
China IS so well suited by natural
conditions for the production of silk
that even the most antiquated and
unscientifc methods cannot deprive
her OF the first rank in that industry.
IN Japan everything connected with
the silk business is scientifically reg
ulated. No silkworm is allowed to
hatch unless the egg has passed a
scientific inspection. The mulberry
trees are cultivated on scientific prin-
eiples. Similar methods are pur-
sued in other countries where silk is
produced.
But in China these things are al
most entirely disregarded, and yet
China keeps near the head in pro-
duction. Her undeveloped resources
ID this industry are so enormous that

NOT OPPOSED To
SALT WATER

At the annual meeting of the Spring
Valley Water Company yesterday
President A. N. Payson made n state
ment that the Spring Valley Company
does not object to the installation of
a salt water system such as has been
proposed by merchants and commercial
bodies and favored by the insurance
companies as an additional protection
against fire.
Fl. The most perfect system of fire
protection from the MAINS" said Cap
tain Payson, lis inconsistent with the
demands of a domestic supply. In other
words. both purposes could be served
best by two separate systems of under
ground conduits This is generally i'm
practicable in large cities on the score
of expense, but plans for separate
and independent system of fire pro-
lection are now being discussed in
San Francisco. 1t cannot be too en-
phatically stated that the interests of
the Spring Valley Water Company lie
in the establishment of such indie
pendent systems and the relief that
would thereby be afforded this COM
pany from an onerous and expensive
obligation from which it receives no
return"
Captain Payson made the statement
that the Spring Valley Water Com
pany, without additional rainfall, has
supply of water for fully 1000 days
for San Francisco 1t was difficult to
say what the present income of the
Spring Valley Company was, he said,
as 1t changed from day to day, but
$4,000 a month was probably con-
sentative estimate.
The old board of directors was
re- elected, consisting of A. N. Payson.
J. M. Quay, Homer l.. King, /. w. He'll
man Jr., F. B. Anderson, ]. Henry
Meyer and M. B. Kellogg. The di-
rectors will today re-elect the old off,
GERS, A. N. Payson as president, ]. NJ.
Quay vice president and John NJ. Duke
secretary.

MAYOR CEASES To
OPPOSE RELIEF

Mayor Schmitz and the Relief Cor
poration have settled all their differ
ences and today. by the mutual desire
of each. DR.. r. G. Broderick. executive
officer of the refugee camps. and Park
superintendent : John McLaren will
make tour of all the refugee homes
on public property and inform those
living in tents that they must either
go into cottages that have been pro-
vided for them or vacate the squares,
as the tents must come down.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Relief Corporation yes
terday afternoon DR.. Broderick, made
his official report of the meeting he
held with the Mayor a week ago, the
substance of which has already been
published in The Call. Members of the
committee expressed satisfaction with
the discontinuance of the Mayors op-
position to their regulation of the ref
ugee camps.
1t was decided to have another in
terview with General Macarthur about
leaving the refugee cottages on Thir-
teenth avenue. The General had OPP
posed the cottages, as he feared their
occupancy would c0ntaminate the water
in lake in the Preside. The Marine
Hospital authorities, however, have as
serted that the camp would not be in
furious to the water in the lake, and
this has given the corporation the hope
that the general may conclude to per-
nit the houses to remain. 1t would
cost about as much to move them as 1t
would to build new houses. There are
300 houses there.
Appropriations were made for the
month of january for the various de-
partments of relief work and these are
somewhat less than were the appro-
priationS for December.

ROBBED WHILE IN
"sK|DOO' ROOM

William F. Dunno. who has rooms
in a lodging house conducted at sol
Twentieth street, reported to the police
yesterday morning that he slept in
room % the night previous and that
when he awoke this morning he was
minus SIS in gold which he had been
saving for a rainy day. Dunno is
divided in his opinion as to whether
the number of drinks he had taken
or the mystic "skidoo" number was
responsible for his loss.
Dunno said that at $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday night he decided to retire,
owing to the fact that he had been
drinking. In attempting to effect an
entrance to his own room, which is
No. Is, he was unable to locate the
keyhole. After numerous futilc at
tempts to insert the key in the Elusive
aperture, Dunno says, he dropped to his
knees so that his efforts might be bet
ter directed. While in this position
he was discovered by J. Dwyer and
hail, who occupied room %. Noticing
that If finding the keyhole was too
great a task, he could have a bed in
the latter's room. The open door looked
good to Dunno and he accepted the
invitation.
When Dunno awoke he made a hur-
ried search for the s65 in gold which
had been in his inside pocket The
money was gone. Both Dwyer and
Martin, his hosts of the evening, denied
all knowledge of the coin.

TEMBLOR CLAUSE
BEING TRIED

A jury was secured yesterday in the
suit of Thomas I. Bergin against the
Commercial Union Assurance Company.
Limited. of London to recover $4,000 in
surance on building that was at 21t-
213 California street Bergin ties lied
that he visited the building at 10
o'clock on the morning of the conha-
grafton and that so Ear as he could
see from the outside it was unharmed
by the earthquake. The fire was burn
ing in that neighborhood. but had not
reached his building when he left the
place
A. C. Oppenheimer. buyer for Rosen-
berg Brothers & Co. who occupied the
whole of the building. testified that he
arrived about half an hour after the
temblOr. He went into the building by
way of the coal scutt1e and rescued
the firms books. The earthquake had
done no damage whatever beyond the
breaking of a pane of glass
Carrot McEnerney announced that
he would not introduce any further
evidence for the plaintiff T. c. Van
Ness will put on the defense today
His contention is that thes conha grafton
was started by the temblor and that
the earthquake clause in the policy re-
Heved the defendant OF the obligation
of paying.

luton yesterday revoking the contract
OF the Burreu Construction Company to
build a sewer in lower Market street
and intercepting sewers for falling to
complete the work by January s, the

Fortified by an opinion from Attorney

the charter to declare the contract void.
A. w. Burrell. president Of the concern,
said he would put in claim for pre-
liminary work done.
J. W. Mcdonald, president Of the City
Street Improvement Company, took ex-
ceptiOn to the complaints made against
the manner in which he had bitumin-
lied Eighth avenue, between H and /
streets, and threatened to tear up the
pavement and leave the block in its
previous bad condition. Mcdonald
acknowledged that the pavement was
not UP to specifications, but said ii
would last ten or fifteen years and he
had intended to make a present OF ii
to the property
There has been so much kicking
about the work" said Mcdonald
angrily, that I have changed my mind
and ] propose TO tear 1t up.
You can't tear it up. for If you do
the police viii stop you," said City En-
gineer Woodward.
The police can't stop me-" said Nc
Donald. 1T is not an accepted street.
It developed that some Of the prop
erty-Owners have paid their share of
the expense and on that account Nc
Donald viii probably think twice be-
fore he tears up the pavement.
The Spring Valley Company notified
the board that IL would do away with
the water main above ground on Va
lencia street so the street can be paved
The board ordered all material be-
longing to Finn & Treacy and sob-
structing Nineteenth street. between

pense.

a waiver of his claim of $500 for work
done on the building.
The board placed on file a claim of
J. Nightingale for SO, 900 because some

Works had torn up concrete curling at
Market. Page and Franklin streets
The City Engineer said $1,000 would
cover the damage and the sidewalks
had been illegally laid at from eight
TO eleven inches above grade.
