Hundreds Are Taking AdVan.
tage Of the Free Course Of
Music Lessons Offered by
EiIers Music Company to
Piano Purchasers.

A four months course of music les
sons Is what Eilers Music Company are
giving to every piano purchaser abso-
lutely without cost. Ten well-known
American factories have agreed to the
sale OF SIS choice pianos at the lowest
possible prices and to also pay for any
instructor that may be selected, also to
furnish without cost the necessary in
struction books. While other Inanufac-
turers are spending fortunes to buy the
testimonials Of great pianists these ten
manufacturers, through the agency OF
the Eilers Music Company. are making
a generous advertising allowance for
placing their pianos In 51s homes. Such
plan Is not only practical, but brings
a saving directly to every piano pur-
chaser, and 1t is quite certain that these
SIS choice pianos, placed IN the homes
of California, will do more to advertise
these makes than any touring pianist
possibly could.

FEARS DECREASE IN
ASsESSABLE PROPERTY
Dodge Says Change of Resi-
dences Will Reduce
Total Roll

Assessor Dodge declared yesterday
that San Francisco would lose con-
siderable assessable personal property
owing to the fact that many pros
porous persons have moved from the
city and taken up their residences in
San Mateo. Alameda and Marin coun-
ties, where the property will be as
sessed.
Dodge has had 100 field deputies
at work during the past week, and he
is not encouraged by the outlook. He
says that the increases in real estate
and improvements will be Offset by
the losses in personal property un-
less the assessments in this county
come in faster than they have been.
Dodge figures on increasing the as
sessment roll by some sSO,000,00o for
new buildings, either already erected
or projected in the next three or
four months, but the personal prop
erty losses will reduce the net In
crease in the assessment roll ma
terially.

PRICES THAT SELL

II have never seen high grade pianos
sold at such remarkably low prices
as they are being sold here" remarked
an old piano man yesterday in lookin g
over our stock; and certainly he was
right, for the usual $3.50 and $500
grades are being sold at a reduction Of
practically 5000 each. while styles that
were sold regularly at $3.50 and $500
are now reduced to ss22. s3S6 and $3.50
Pianos which have never before sold
below 1915 now go for $24s and $22s.

tises as a rare bargain for s275 you can
get here for S21S.

and has appeared with great success
in New York, Chicago and Salt Lake.
She is accompanied by the actor
valdemar Willumsen, who supports her
in the complete playlets she presents.
In addition she sings in Scandinavian.
English and French.
In spite of the fact that the chief
part Of her programme was in the
Danish language, it was pronounced
by the critics in the cities where she
appeared to be one of the leading ar
tistic presentations or the year. 1t was
Fru Nielsen who first interpreted Ib-
sen to a Danish audience, and gave
him his vogue in Denmark before he
was recognized in his own country.
Fru Nielsen will appear in San Fran

der advisement yesterday the COM
plant of ]. ]. Theobald. manager of the
Canton Insurance Office, Limited, of this
city, charging Captain Arthur B. Con-
ner, master of the steamer Santa Rita,

the cargo of the steamer in such a
slipshod manner that the greater part
of it became saturated with salt and
water and fuel oil on the recent trip
OF that vessel from New York to this
city and damaged and destroyed most
of IL.
A libel was filed against the Santa
Rita in the United States District

A DEFINITE GUARANTEE

Don't be deceived by q guarantee
which is meaningless. Many houses
sell a cheap piano with the under
standing that II 1t is not satisfactory
they Will exchange It for another in
strument When you come to make
the exchange they will ask you 800
or 5000 more to get the kind OF instru-
ment you intended to buy in the begin
ming. The Eilers guarantee means
your money back II you are not salts

it for lifetime. and every instrument
must give satisfaction or there is no
sale. Such q guarantee Is positive
proof OF sincerity. No other San Fran

BANK ASKS PERMIT FOR
TWELVE-sTORY BUILDING
Chamber of Commerce Starts
Movement to Change
Ordinance

The First National Bank made ap-
plication yesterday to the Board of
Works for a permit to erect a twelve
story reinforced concrete building at
the northeast corner of Montgomery
and Post streets at cost of 100000.
There may be some difficulty over
the granting of the permit, as Chief
Building Inspector Horgan, to whom
the plans were referred, is governed
by the ordinance which prohibits the
erection of a building exceeding in
height one and half times the width
OF the streets it fronts upon.
A twelve-story building in Post or
Montgomery streets will exceed the
height allowed by the ordinance Hor-
gan will pass on the point before the
permit is issued and should the per-
NIT be refused an effort will be made
to have the ordinance amended.
Annie M. Regan applied for a permit
to erect a three-story brick building
at the southeast corner of O'Farrell
and Powell streets at a cost OF $780,
900; Sanford Sachs proposes to put up
a building to cost $117,5 in Geary
street near Grant avenue, and M. Flood
asked leave to expend $10S,000 on a
new building in the west side of Polk
street near Ellis. Other petitions for
building permits were filed as follows:

dorff and Pine streets, $50 600; George w Mer-

NEW METHOD OF ATTACK
ON DISORDERLY HOUSES
Langdon Plans to Close Them by
Increasing Amount of Bail Re-
ouired for Inmates

District Attorney Langdon has de-
vised a new method of combating the
disorderiy houses in Pacific and Com
mercial streets. Heretofore the women
have been released on SIS bail.
The cases of $50 women. each Of
whom has demanded a separate Jury
trial, are now pending in the Police
Court. The District Attorney proposes
to have the bail raised to 500 in each
case. This will call for deposit of
$4,000 from A w. Morftt, who has
acted as bondsman for the women. AS
the cases will be delayed for some time
IL is believed that the amount Of bail
required will force the places to close.

This is s1oe,700 more than was paid
in 1905, Notwithstanding the fact that
the eight-hour day strike was in force
during all OF 1905. This proves, it is
claimed, that either more men were
working eight hours than ever before,
or that the printing business in New
York was exceptionally good.
The recently formed Painters Union
Of Bakersfield at it's last meeting obli-
gated nine candidates and received
three applications for membership. This

is now in secret session In Indianapolis
and IL is believed IT Is discussing the
resignation OF its president Cornelius
p. Shea. The move that fastened the
call has not been made public as yet,
but II is known that at least five of
the nine members OF the committee
are opposed TO Shea continuing at the
head Of the organization any longer.
It IS said that this is a result OF the
testimony which developed at the re-
cent trial Although Shea was ac-
Quilted, testimony was offered to show
that Shea and others were guilty OF
petty graft IN connection with calling
the strike. II is said that this testi-
nony. while IL had no direct bearing
on the trial, has taken deep root in
the minds of the rank and file of the
brotherhood. Shea called three OF the
members of the executive committee
70 meet him IN Indianapolis, and as

PROCEEDINGS HAD
ONCE BEEN BEGUN

The investigation of the affairs OF
the Hawaiian Realty and Maturity
Company brought out little that was
tangible yesterday except the fact that
the Grand Jury that had made pre-
liminary investigation in 1906 had or
dered the Attorney General to go right
ahead with proceedings against the
concern, proceedings which resulted in
quo warranto papers being prepared
and then dropped. The then Deputy
Attorney General Prosser prepared the
papers but was called away to the
Coast, his absence resulting in nothing
being done, although he expected that
the proceedings would go ahead just
the same in his absence.
The fact was also brought out yes
terday that during the Grand Jury
investigation it had been found neces-
sary to bring Kentwell to the Attorney
Generals office with his books, he hav-
ing rather f1ippantly refused to come
of his. own accord. 1t was the persua-
sive influence of Chester Doyle that
overcame him.
So far Treasurer Hapai has not been
able to make much out of the books
of the concern he has in his possess
sion, these having been so badly kept
as to be almost unintelligible.
Attorney General Hemenway yester-
day appointed Wade Warren Thayer
special attorney to investigate the Ha-
waiian Realty & Maturity Co.
Thayer will begin proceedings either
to have a receiver appointed or to
have the company declared a bank
rupt. Whether other civil or criminal
proceedings follow will be determined
by what is discovered in the course of
the investigation and is brought out
in the receivership or bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
Thayer has been attorney for num-
Der of persons who We're stockholders
in the concern but found difficulty IN
getting their money out. He has stood
ready to bring bankruptcy proceedings
several times, but each time Kentwell
always came up with the particular
clients money, so there was no cause
of action.
The report of E. H. Cutting, made
at the instance of the grand jury, has
been found. 1t is simply a financial
statement. OF the affairs of the COM
pany as Cutting was able to find them.
This statement showed that the prop
erty which the company valued on its
books at over $4,000 was assessed for
taxes at less than $4,000 Cutting said.
however, that it was impossible from
the books to make a statement of the
exact financial condition of the corr
