(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May IL
Revelations OF alleged irregulari-
ties in the conduct Of the offices
of the Chinese consul general,
Hsu Ping Chen, placarded in red
and white upon the famous dead
walls" of San Francisco's China
town, have caused a dissension
before which tong struggles and
family disputes threaten to pale
into insigciGcance. Every Celes-
tial of this city today is arrayed
on the side of the consul, or dis
|creetly refuse to make known his
views, which practically is equiva-
lent to a declaration of his enmity
to Hsu. -
The accusing placards appeared
on the Chinatown walls yesterday
morning. During the morning the
friends Of the consul general
wrathfully ripped them from their
fastenings, threatening dire VEN
geance upon the perpetrators of
the so-called outrage.
Among the charges is the allie
cation of manipulation of the re-
lief funds subscribed by Chinese
residents of the state after the
fire and earthquake of April IS,
1906.

A Fish Frog? Aims
You Drinking Again?

GALVESTON, Tex, May H.
An idle negro, fishin for dinner
on Pier ~, landed a queer speci-
men of fish that nearly startled
him out of his senses. When he
recovered his wits and proceeded
to examine 1t he had to scratch
his black wool in vain to figure
out what variety or class 1t belong
ed. to, and none of the louners
who were attracted to the scene
could tell, either. The ebony
angler, to solve the puzzle, took
lit to a store for information.
One of the best authorities on
fish hereabouts, pronounced it, af-
ter close study, to be a frog"
fish--a rarity in these waters. The
frog" fish has the body of frog,
with fins on the side, has the
nose of a fish, the face of a mole
and eyes like bird. 1t breathes,
apparently, throuh nostrils in its
back. The body is nearly foot
long and about half as wide. 1t
i is certainly queer-looking mon
strOsity.

to figuring instead of going at the
Job and doing It," said man in
the department who has had years
of practical experience and who is
driven nearly frantic some times
by the lack of practical knowledge
on the part Of the superintendent.
Commissioner McGregor is a
practical man and this book figur-
ing without results drives him to
the point of almost unbearable ex-
ASPIRATION. He does not like to
come out and raise a row about
an appointee of the mayor, how
ever.
The commissioner has taken
Mr.. Bechtel out of the engineering
office and put him down at the
South Tacoma wells to superin-
tend the installation of the ma
chinery there to get results. Bech-
tel is practical man and does
things.
Just what the outcome of the
row will be there is no telling.
The suggestion to the council
last Wednesday night that the city
should go for Maplewood springs
is simply being used as an excuse
for bringing the alleged short
comings of the superintendent to
the front. Such recommendations
are made every week by heads of
departments under the commits
sioner to the council.
The real trouble in the depart
ment is that Whitney. according
to the standards of the commits
'ioner, is not making good.

legal business and also in politics.
For times have changed since that
memorable stipulation, made in
1898, when he took the post which
he has held ever since.
Herrin was born in 1854 near
Jacksonville, Oregon. He received
his education at Corvallis College
in that state, and also at Cumber-
land University, Tennessee. His
rise in the legal profession was
meteoric, and before he was forty
years of age he was one of the
leading corporation lawyers of the
Pacific coast, counsel for the
Spring Valley Water Company of
San Francisco, the Sharon estate
and other great interests.
In the San Francisco attorney.
Hartman recognized a genius and
he was quick to claim him. Her
rims service with the Hartman
lines has been continuous and has
expanded with the growth of that
system. Today he is one of the
great figures of the railroad world
and that world includes for him,
the allied powers of finance, law
and politics.

NORTH YAKIMA, WASH, MAY
|17.-When Frank Lafferty started
out ON . hop-picking expedition in
the Yakima valley he went for the
"fun there was in It," When he
returned he broght home with
him a worlds championship and
la blushing bride.
Miss Helen Worley was with a
party of friends at the O'Neil hop
field and there met young Latter
ty. The ha1cyon days that follow
ed were days In which there came
a great love to the heart of the
Romeo of the fields--his love for
the charming Miss Worley.
Instead of saying this is so
sudden" the girl turned to her suit
or when he popped the question
and told him that when he could
pick five boxes of hops In IL
hours he could go and see papa.
And the next day, between the
hours of o'clock in the morning
and 6 in the evening, Frank Laf-
ferty picked five full boxes OF
hops, which is declared to be the
worlds record. And Il IL now Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Lafferty.
