ASK FOR RAILWAY
INTO CHINATOWN
Six, Companies Favor Franchise
in Stockton Street

A boost for the proposed street rail-
way franchise in Stockton street into
Chinatown was. given Friday by the
Chinese Six Companies, aor, as it is Of
ficially known. the Consolidated Chi
nese Benevolent association, in set
of resolutions adopted in regular meet
ing and communicated by Ngs Nom, Sec
retary of the association, to the mayor
and the board of supervisors
The railway. says the resolutions,
would furnish direct connection to that
part of the city called Chinatown with
its large bazaars depending upon tour
lists and It's enormous commercial in
terests amounting to millions, whereas
it is now geographically isolated, with
access from the east only up a high
grade and with no direct connections by
either rail or level pedestrian road to
Market street"
1t is further pointed out that the
operation of street railway into
Chinatown would tend ito ameliorate
the conditions of merchants by facili-
tating the entrance of tourists and
shoppers into Chinatown"

SEVERAL DOCTORS
Surgeon General Considers the
Health Conditions of City
Are Very Good


Believing that the sanitary condition
of San Francisco has improved ana
that the health condition in general IS
very good, Surgeon General Waiter
Wyman of the United States marine
corps has retired several of the health
physicians who have been at work Tor
is months in inspecting the sanitary
conditions in the various sections or
the city and in enforcing the rules OF
the federal health laws.
The action of the surgeon general
shows that it is firmly believed that
there is no more danger from plague
and that there is no longer any neces-
sity for the corps OF federal health
physicians.
z The physicians retired are Drs ). IL
Howard, p M. Thomas. Herbert Gunn,
A. G. Meyer. Bruce Ffolkes and Morton
Gibbons. Certificates of honor, hdellty
and discretion were issued to the re-
firing federal health inspectors by sur
geon General Wyman. DIR. Leon Schmltz
and DR.. George Converse have been re-
tanned. DR.. Schmitz will have charge
of the water front and Dr. Converse
will keep a close watch on the interior
districts of the city.
The retiring of the several physicians
does not mean that the sanitary condl-
tion of the city will not be closely
watched. The health. of the city VIII
be guarded by the federal health offl-
GERS. DR.. Herman Schlageter Will re-
main Inspector Of the dead.

my LADY'S RING"
IS WELL RENDERED
Miss Everts CleyerIy Imper-
sOnates Characters in Alice
Browns Comedy

Success, both from artistic and finan-
cial standpoints, marked the recital
yesterday by Miss Katharine Jewell
Everts of MY Ladys Ring" a comedy
by Alice Brown, given for the benefit
of the Stanford womens clubhouse
fund. The ballroom of the Fairmont
was crowded with women and a few
men, who ventured in, and the applause
was frequent.
The scene of the comedy was laid
in France, several of the scenes being
supposedly in Nice, and thexcharacters
were a Russian prince and princess
and a group s-of Italians, Miss Everts
impersonating the various characters
in clever fashion and with especially
skillful changes and modulations of her
voice. She is pretty s and graceful,
enunciates distinctly and pleasingly.
and the afternoon proved to be one of
great enjoyment to those present.
Before the recital a luncheon was
given to Miss Everts by the Vassar
alumnae OF which Miss Ethel Moore is
the president, which took place at the
Fairmont, about 40 being present. An
informal reception closed the affair.
The recital took place under the aus
Association of Collegiate alumnae, Miss
Everts being introduced by Miss Cor
nelia McKinne, president of the asso-
citation. About $500 was realized for
the clubhouse fund.

KOREAN BANDITS
ATTACK ENGINEER
Left for Dead After Desperate
Battle With R0bber Band
in Hotel

W. IL Griffin, mining engineer, who
has been in Korea in the interest of a
French syndicate and who arrived here
yesterday on-the liner Mongolia, is still
suffering from the effects of injuries
received at the hands of Korean ban
dts. They left him for dead, stole all
his money and cut his baggage into
strips after taking what they wanted
of the contents of the grips and
valises
Griffin was on his way with another
engineer to examine a mine. His
partner was taken sick. Leaving him
at the hospital of the Oriental CONSOLE
dated mining company, near Tung-
chang, Griffin proceeded with about Is
native attendants He camped for the
night at a Korean inn, and was sitting
at a table writing when the door was
broken open and nine wild eyed Ko-
reans, armed with swords, knives and
clubs, burst into the room
They attacked him from all sides.
He tried TO grab one of them by the
throat, but his hand went into the
bandits mouth and his little finger
was chewed and broken. Fighting his
way across the room Griffin managed
to get his rifle, but was given no chance
to throw back the hammer. When
ever his hand went near the mechanism
Of the gun the robbers slashed at his
fingers with knives and pounded them
with clubs. He fought with the butt
end Of the gun for a few minutes,
but soon dropped to the floor ex-
hausted with the stress of the fight
and weak from loss of blood. The last
he remembers was going peacefully to
sleep with the dull thuds of club
tattoo beating on his head.
His servants, who had fed when the
robbers arrived, returned some hours
later. The alarm was given and DR..
Nolan of the Oriental consolidated min
ing company arrived about a. m. and
took charge of the patient The rob-
bers got away with about $1,000 in
cash and much of Griffin's personal
property. They were never found.

CHAPTER X.

THE SLOUGH OF TRANQUILITY.
 @tHREE months stole by with tan- talking slowness. The autumn passed on into winter without o a change of expression in the benign face of nature. Christmas day was as hot as if 1t had come in mid summer; the natives were as naked, the trees as fully clad. The six months were passing away in spite of them selves. Ten weeks were left before the worn but determined heirs could cast of their bonds and rush away to other climes. It mattered little whether they went away rich or poor. They were to go! Col That was the rich est thing the future held out to them. and romped without restraint, but be- meath all of their abandon there lurked the ever present pathos of the Jail, the asylum, the detention ward.
 Not until the end of January was there sign of revolt against the ever growing, tnsidious condition of melan- choly. As they turned into the last third of their exile they found heart to rejoice in the thought that release was coming nearer and nearer. The end of March-eight weeks off! Soon there would be but seven weeks, then sixI
 And all this time the islanders tofled as they had toiled for years. They reckoned in years, while the strangers cast up times account in weeks and called them years. Each day the brown men worked in the mines piling gems into the vaults with a resolute- ness that never faltered.
 From London came disquieting news for all sides to the controversy. The struggle promised to be drawn out for I years, perhaps. The lonely legatees,
 marooned in the far south sea, began | to realize that even after they had | spent their six months of probation they would still have months, even
 years, of waiting before they could
 touch the fortune they laid claim to. The islanders also were vaguely awake
 to the fact that everything might be
 tied up for years despite the provi-
 sions of the will. A restless, stubborn | feeling of alarm spread among them. | This feeling gradually developed itself l into bitter resentment. Hatred for the 1 people who were causing this delay 1 was growing deeper and fiercer 1 Gro be Continued.)

THE POULTRY YARD.

Mites multiply very rapidly and do
not add to the vitality of the flock,
but divide the profits.
Are your hens going to be crowded
in their quarters this winter? If they
are, better build larger apartments
for them, or sell the poorest of them
at once.
Young ducks are profitable. One
duck raiser states that young duck
can be grown in ten weeks at a cost
of four cents pound. The price your
market will pay above the four cents
per pound will represent the profit.
Hot mashes sometimes fed to hens
in winter are positive detriment;
but warm mash fed in moderate quan.
tity is often an aid to egg produc-
ton.
Orange boxes make good nests and
may be hung against the walls with
hooks, SO that they may be easily re,
moved for convenience in cleaning,
disinfecting and killing the lice.
Do not leave the feed trough lying
around during the day. even II 1t con-
tains no food, but always remove any
food that maybe left and stand the
trough up in corner after each meal
