greatly increased amount of rolling

AT the Fairmont yesterday General
Manager Dean said: The increase in
our business has made the erection of
repair shops near San Francisco an
absolute necessity. At present our
most westerly shop is at Denver, and
the haul is by far too long, when 1T
comes to taking cars from the coast
to Denver for repairs. We shall push
construction as rapidly as possible, for
the new plant is an imperative need.

at Richmond fine one and feel very
well satisfied with the deal we have
closed. We shall employ something
like 500 men, and the industry should
mean considerable to San Francisco and

RECEIVERS EXCESS PAID
ON INSURANCE POLICY
Company Awarded Amount Rep
resented by Salvage

Meese & Gottfried, machinists, must
refund $7,34S TO the Phoenix assurance
company of London, according to a ver-
diet returned in the United States cir
suit court yesterday.
The Phoenix company, which paid
dollar for dollar, made a settlement of
losses with Meese & Gottfried in No
vember, 1906, but by mistake paid
$4,000. the full amount of the policy,
instead of the amount Of the claim
which was s6,066 less, due to salvage.
Damages for breach of contract were
awarded also in Judge Van Fleets
court in the case of the Malaga packing
company against Turtle & Skidmore of
New York who agreed to take five
carloads of raisins and refused to ac-
cept more than one car. Louis Beedy,
for the plaintiffs, successfully argued
that the packers were entitled to the
difference between the contract price
and the amount obtained later on a
sale to others. The verdict was for
$4,000.

BOARDING OFFICER
RETURNS FROM ORIENT
Charles A. Stephens Shown
Many Courtesies Abroad

Chief Boarding officer Charles A.
Stephens, who returned yesterday from
the orient, said that he found the local
administration of the customs service,
as far it concerns oriental travellers,
regarded as model. AT Hongkong
Quan Kai, the flour king of China. gave
a banquet to Stephens in recognition of
the courteous treatment received at the
hands of the United States customs
service at San Francisco.
Stephens found the same apprecia-
ton of local courtesy in every other
port he visited. He was received every
where as the personal representative of
the collector of this port, and thinks
that President Taft had none the better
of him in the way of receptions and
official farewells.
1t was on the outward trip of the
Mongolia that Stephens receiveds from
Collector Stackable and his brother the
famous slight that Is now part of the
records of Collector Strattons admins

ATTORNEY SECURED FOR
OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY
Receiver Strattan Gives Position
to His Law Partner

Walter w. Kaufman was appointed
attorney for the Ocean Shore railway
yesterday by Receiver Frederick s.
Stratton. Kaufman is Stratton's law
partner.
The appointment was the only one
made yesterday by Stratton, whose
office in the custom house was besieged
by job hunters after every position a
railway offers.
At various times they were called
into the office in body and told there
would be no changes in the roads oper-
ating department at this time.
If positions are filled later, says
Stratton, it will be because Of the need
of more men in construction work. He
is particularly annoyed by those trying
to bring political influence to bear.

Returns From Investigation

Harry C. Fassett of the United States

day on the liner Mongolia.
Fassett has been engaged in investi-

possibilities of the fishing industry in
the Philippines, and has come home to
file his report
He regards the fisheries OF the Islands
as offering a good field for investment
on limited scale. The food fishes of
the archipelago are plentiful but not
especially valuable. AS a purely do
nestle industry, however, he thinks
fishing can be developed with profit.
