LOCAL FIRMS TO HAVE
CHANCE AT PANAMA BIDS
Circulars Calling for Proposals to Be
Issued in Time for Coast
Merchants

c. w. Burke. secretary Of the Cham
Der OF Commerce, is in receipt OF let
ters from Major J. B. Bellinger. assist
ant purchasing agent Of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, assuring him that
calls for bids on supplies will be pub
lished by the Government in time TO
permit coast merchants to send their
figures to Washington before the ex-
piration OF the period in which such
bids are to be submitted.
Secretary Burke complained to Major
Bellinger that San Francisco business
men were being Disseminated against
in the matter OF supplies required In
Panama, because the Government did
not send circular letters calling for
bids sufficiently far ahead of the de-
mand TO give the coast merchants op-
portunity TO send their figures TO Wash
ington.
The general purchasing officer. d. w.
Ross, writes from Washington: "On all
circulars where there is any likelihood
OF getting bids from the coast we will
endeavor 10 allow as much time as
possible for the preparation Of bids"

BRIEF FILED IN STEAMER
DESPATCH DAMAGE SUIT
Defense Will Rely on Decision in the
Famous Fox Case for Reduction
of Any High Award

The final brief of the plaintiff in the
suit brought by James Mitchell against
the California and Oregon Coast Steam
ship Company for S25.ooO damages for
the death of his son, who was killed in
an explosion on the steamer Despatch
in December, 1905, was filed yesterday
in Judge Graham's court.
The defense intends 70 make strong
plea for a reduction of damages in case
of an adverse decision. and will base
the argument on the decision in the
noted Fox case. in which Justice Van
Fleet of the Supreme Court held that
damages for the death of laborer's
son should not be as great as In the
case of a son of a man engaged in a
learned profession. Van Fleet declared
that the environment OF such heredity
would largely determine in the average
case the future wage earning power of
the deceased. The plaintiffs attorneys
will attempt to refute this argument
by citing many notable exceptions.

There is little consolation for those
who have been looking forward to a
halt in San Francisco's onward march
in the figures of the clearing house for
the week ending Thursday noon. March
Z. The increase of business of the city
is shown by this index in a remarkable
manner in the figures compiled by the
California Promotion Committee. For
the week just ended the bank clear
ings amounted TO the enormous total
of $50, ,523, 1904. against total of s45,-
521,SS1.0S for the same week of 1906.
1t is now nearly eleven months since
the disaster came to San Francisco. and
the business houses are doing a larger
business than ever before. The in
crease of the bank clearings reaches
nearly IS per cent. not counting Oak
land, which last year cleared through
the San Francisco clearing house. Oak
lands clearings for the week just end
ed amount TO q total of 1926, 1885.
which, If added to San Francisco's to-
tal would make the sum $57,S19, 909.79
for the two bay cities, or more than
twelve millions in excess of the same
week last year. During the same week
San Jose banks cleared s469.810.0S.

A discussion concerning funds left

yesterday afternoon. Reports of mem
bers were read and approved with
smiling That's fine" from the ener-
getio chairman. Mrs. Lowell White, and
all went as happily as a merry-go-
round until the controversy occurred
The first Indications of trouble were
noticeable when Mrs. Margaret c. May
arose to read her report on the food
station at Kearny and California
streets Mrs. May received a number
of donations from Chinese residents, in
cluding 800 from the Chinese Consul.
OF this she used only a small part. and
she objected to the remainder being
devoted to any purpose other than that
for which II was given. She protested
against a proposal to follow the prece-
dent set several moments earlier. when
gift of $5, given to the Outdoor Art
League and not expended on Sunday,
was turned over 10 be disposed OF by
that organization Mrs May resisted
the application of the principle to the
funds entrusted to her. She said that she
felt herself capable of administering the
money, and that 1T should be expended
in carting away the rubbish in China
town. For several minutes there were
motions. counter motions. amendments
and reconsiderations that taxed the
ability of Mrs. White as parliament
tary leader. Mrs May was finally in
structed to inquire Of the Consul what
disposition he wished to make of the
money.
A resolution of thanks to. Mrs. Lowell
White for her activity in the work was
adopted by a rising vote. vote of
thanks also was given the press for
its generous support
Among the interesting reports was
that of Mrs. Margaret Sheehan. whose
station at Pier No. 10 was conducted
entirely by the women of the Richmond
refugee camp. The food left over from
the feast was given to people in the
camp.
Mrs. M. G.. Gorham, Mrs. Charles
Warren and Mrs. F. M. Malloye were
appointed as a committee to draft reso-
lutions of thanks to those who assist
ed the ladies in their undertaking.
The ladies who read reports from the
various stations were: Mrs. M A. Far
rar. Mrs. James Shea, Mrs. M. B. Shee-
han. Mrs. Fanny L. Kellogg, Mrs. F.
