San Francisco's reconstruction Is
recognized generally as the modern
building marvel. but with all that has
been said and written no adequate con-
ception of what really has been done
is had by those who have not been TO
the city by the Golden gate since the
FIRE. The map shown herewith is the
second of Its kind that has been issued
by the California Promotion commit
tee. The first was issued on April Is,
1907. one year after the fire. and this
one came out April IS, 1905. two years
after .N
An examination Of this map shows
the enormous building operations which
have been going on so far as ground
space is concerned. It tells nothing,
however. OF the massive structures
which have been springing up all over
the burned district and which are rep
resented here simply as black spaces
on the white ground OF the map. OF
the burned district shown here all the
black represents new buildings that
have either been completed since the
FIRE or are in course OF construction. It
all represents actual work done on a
grand total of 1920 buildings and an
expenditure Of s117,514,zs5.

WASHINGTON. APRIL 25.-That the
Chinese exclusion law is not properly
enforced, thas Chinese are making their
way into thes United States every day
when they have no right to do so and
that change in the existing law. will
be necessary to check this growing
condition. are facts that were pointed
out in emphatic. terms to the house
committee on appropriations by Conn
missioner General of Immigration Sar-
gent The reason for d universal lax
ness in enforcing the exclusion law, is
described by Commissioner Sargent as
the erroneous sentiment that grew out
of the talk of a Chinese boycott. In
asking the committee for 100000 to
enforce the law. Mr.. Sargent said
One of these days we VIII have to
meet the proposition. and meet it fairly
and squarely. The construction of the
law at present is such that you are not
only opening the door to iaborers and
allowing them to come in here by sub
terfuge and trickery. but you are work
ing against the interests of the mer-
chants and high class Chinese who
would naturally come to this country.
There are so many Chinese in this
country illegally that in my opinion
you are warranted in requiring a re-
registration, giving every Chinese now
in this country register. when you
have done that you should treat the
Chinese as you would any other alien
