Farragut and Thomas, two southerners
who won fame by their adherence to the
cause Of the Union. one a Tennesseean
and the other a Virginian. are kept in
remembrance in the National capital by a
square and a circle respectively, which
stand at the centers of the most desirable
residential districts. Few historical char
acters have been equally fortunate in this
respect. Farragut Square is surrounded
by substantial edifices including several

The Exile Of Fort Grant.
From the New York Sun.

Deprived of all other privileges en-
toyed by army officers, Col. William F.
Stewart of the Coast Artillery, now exiled
at Fort Grant Ariz.. is not to be over
looked in the riding tests. He has been
ordered to Fort Huachuca to undergo in
at least that one case the benefits pro-
vided by an all wise government. We
wonder why an officer who has been pro-
nounced temporarily unfit for active duty
and banished to the wilderness as a pun
ishment for his refusal to retire should be
subjected to an experiment SO obviously
futile. There is no reason why an officer
of coast artillery should ride a horse
ninety miles or be able to walk fifty miles.
His ability to perform either of these ath-
letic feats will throw no sort of light upon
his qualifications for any of the legitimate
duties of his calling. Besides. he has been
permanently withdrawn from active duty
now and is held somewhat ostentatiously
In exile awaiting the moment of his en-
forced retirement for age. He might be
hopeless cripple or confirmed invalid
so far as concerns his services at Fort
Grant

Let Us Have Peace!
From the New York Evening Post.

1t is just because Mr.. Bryan exhibits
some of Mr.. Roosevelts unhappiest traits
that he seems untitled for the presidency.
For the moment we have had enough
clamor and turmoil. The country is
passing through a period of depression,
and needs a few years of peace. We are
tired Of government by denunciation. We
are tired of fantastic proposals that can
not possibly be formulated into law. We
are tired Of the substitution of the ca
PRECIOUS will of the individual for the in
flexible operation Of a statute. Mr.. Bryan
virtually promises us continuance of
that excitement which has marked Presi-
dent Roosevelt's administration. Our ears
will be deafened with tumult and shout

FREE MARKET UPHELD
BY JUDGE SEAWELL
Temporary Restraining Order
Against Works Board Is
Dissolved

That the board of public works is
well within its rights in erecting a
free market on the school lot in Her
mann street near West Mission, upon
which the Peabody school formerly
stood, was decided by Judge Seawell
yesterday. The temporary restraining
order obtained by Margaret Mahoney
enjoining the board was discharged
1t is not true, Judge SeawelI states
that, as contended by counsel for Mrs
Mahoney, the land was acquired by the
city and county of San Francisco for
school purposes and none other The
lot was part of pueblo lands which
came into possession of the city when
California was ceded by Mexico to the
United States.
The lots originally selected as sites
for schoolhouses, engine houses or hos
pitals might" says the decision, prove
unsuitable and inconvenient locations
for the purposes for which they were
originally selected; and it would be de-
plorable If there was no power in the
municipality, when so authorized by
the legislature, to devote them to some
other and profitable uses"

CHINESE SHOES ARE
HELD FOR HEAVY DUTY
Sixty Per Cent as Silk or Is Per
Cent as Leather Is Prob
lem for Officials

CONSERVATION fills the hearts of the
members of the Chinese importing firm
of Lee Chung Lung & Co., the largest
importing Chinese footwear house on
the coast Several thousand pairs of
fancy oriental shoes arrived here a few
days ago from China, but they have
been held up by the customs officials
because the importers have not paid
the 60 per cent duty demanded The
board of appraisers claims that silk is
the chief material used in the manu-
facture OF the footwear, and as the
tax on silk is so per cent the customs
officials insist that this is the duty
which must be paid.
Meanwhile spring is coming and with
it comes pleasant weather, when the
oriental dresses himself in beautiful
flowing gowns of silk and fancy shoes.
The Chinese importers claim that
leather is the principal article used in
the manufacture OF shoes<and that but
25 per cent duty was collected. The
importers say that only 25 per
cent duty was collected in past
seasons and that, owing TO this fact,
they have signed orders with several
retailers to sell them shoes at a certain
price. They claim they can not sell at
the contract price without sustaining
heavy financial loss if the present
duty demanded is collected.

Hines NOT FREE
OF HEAVY DEBTS
Trade Board Members Say That
'.Kragens" Settlement Does
Not Release Him
Liabilities of Bankrupt Concern
Still in Force for Full
Amount

Relative TO the statements In yes
terdays Call that the methods of the
board of trade, in the settlement of
the kragen failure. had made 1t pos
sible for Gabriel Hines to get back
into business, members of the board
said yesterday that Hines had been in
no way released from his debts and
could be sued by any creditor for any
amount he owes over and above what
has been received for the stock.
In disposing of the stock the board
of trade committee was Obliged to ac-
cept the highest bid for the property.
The stock was advertised all over the
country and no bid was received over
100000. If the stock had been sold
for less the sellers would have been
liable to the creditors. The proceed
ing was the same as it would have
been in a bankruptcy court. The bid
was cash bid and cash must be paid
in full before the stock is delivered
No release is given Kragen in any
event and the debts of the concern
are still in force for their full amount
The committee that disposed of the
stock was made up of some of the
largest creditors. and it would be alb
surd to assume that they would enter
into any conspiracy to defraud them
selves. The largest amount possible
was obtained on the stock as pay
mentS of the concerns debts. The
committee had no information that the
bid was made in the interest of Hines
and had il had this knowledge it
could not have acted differently. The
same would be true if the stock were
sold through a regularly constituted
bankruptcy court. The lease OF the
building, held personally by Hines,
could not be taken over by the board
of trade, as it would then become a
tenant of the owner of the building
for the full term of Hines lease. which
is some 20 years, besides the lease has
a clause forbidding any assignment.
Relative to the statement that the
board of trade should make an effort
to secure the conviction in the courts
of dishonest merchants, the records of
the board show that thousands of dol
lars have been expended every year.
and still are being expended, for this
purpose
