TALKED 70 Y. N. c. a
Harry w. Jones, a Minneapolis Archi
tect, Spoke ON His Trip to For.
eign Countries and Missions.


The auditorium of the city hall
was we'll filed Sunday afternoon to
hear the program that had been pre-
pared by the Young Mems Christian
Association. The musical numbers
that were to be given and the prom
inence Of the principle speaker. Har-
ry w. Jones Of Minneapolis. served to
attract many that are not regular at
tendants of these Sunday meetings.
The solos Of Misses Lee and Lath-
rop delighted everybody. Only the
OF the occasion prevented
the audience from breaking into ap-
plause as the musical numbers were
received with the heartiest apprecia-
ton.
The address OF Mr.. Jones was on
the subject Of investigation Of the
mission fields from the standpoint Of
business man. Mr.. Jones has stud
led the work of American mission
aries right on the field itself and the
talk was the embodiment of his in
yestigations. He has travelled ex-
.5tensively in China. Japan. Burma,
and Ceylon. OF all of these he con
sidered the greatest opportunity to
exist in China. the home of the yell
low race. Mr.. Jones showed up the
practical side of the missions and
said that if the average Christian
business man could only see the re-
suits to be obtained from money in
vested in missions in a country like
China there would not be any doubt
of the finances which would be di-
rected to this field. Mr.. Jones is
one Of the well known business men
Of Minneapolis and these statements
coming from him were doubly en-
phatic.
Rev. DR.. Williams of Des Moines,
the meeting when he spoke
briefly of the laymen's missionary
in the state of Iowa. He
was very stirring in his remarks and
said that the city of Mitchell would
be moved as neeyr before when the
state mems meeting would be held
here next March. His short address
was very eloquent and aroused con-
siderable interest in the cause he so
presented.

FOR STANDING ROCK LANDS
Local Parties Has Formed Com
pany to Aid in the Selection of
Government Lands.

Standing Rock Land Co. is the
title of a new company just organic
ed in this city with T. j. Spangler as
president, F. M. White vice president
and Henry Swindler as secretary.
The business of the company will
be to furnish a plat of every quarter
section of land that is open on the
Standing Rock reservation to the per-
sons who will eventually file on the
lands as a result Of the drawing to be
held at Aberdeen this week. The
company is issuing a platbook Of the
reservation lands that will show the
lay. the location. quality and gen
eral characteristics of each tract.
The information that the company
is able to give at this time is abso-
lutely reliable for it was secured by
men who inspected practically every
quarter section. Mr.. Swindler was
a member of the commission appoint
ed by President Taft to appraise the
Land in the Standing Rock Agency
and r. M. White was the secretary
of the commission. In their capacities
they we're required to make a per-
sonal inspection of every quarter Sec
ton, and make note of the general
characteristics Of the same. A value
was placed on every quarter section,
which was submitted to the govern
ment.
By the use of these plats the peo-
pie who are successful in drawing a
quarter section will be in good posi-
ton to make a selection of their
land. They will know something of
country without first going up there
and looking it over. The platbooks
will be ready to be placed on the
market within a very few days.

BURNHAM SUGGESTS
PURCHASE 4 BLOCKS
Supervisors May Submit Ques-
ton to Voters at City Hall
Bond Election
Continued from Page 1

bond issue of $4.100,00O for the purchase
of the four blocks in question.
Should both issues carry by the neces-
sary two-thirds vote the city hall would
be built on the Van Ness block; if the
second should fail the present site would
be used
Architect D. H. Burnhar, presented
the plan at a conference held at the
mayors office in the morning, and the
supervisors building committee at its
afternoon session recommended thGt the
alternative choice be given the people
in the bond issue submission.
Supervisors McLeran, McAllister, Ban
croft, Rixford, Pollok, Giannini, Payot
Murdock, Jennings, Johnston, Connolly
and Broderick; Commissioners Day,
Casey and McGilvray of the board of
works; City Architect Tharp, City En-
gineer Manson and Mayor Taylor gave
close attention to Burnhams points
that the present site was already on
one side. whereas if the center were es-
tablished all subsequent building might
move along prosperously to d UNIFIED
end, that the present site might be sold
after enhancing its value, and that it
could not be opened up to Market street
without greater expense than proposed
Former Mayor Phelan sought to i'm
press the supervisors with the wisdom
of planning far ahead. With Burnham
he held that the city in the long run
could better afford to start right now
at an increased bond issue expense
rather than to continue the use of a site
rot so favorable for future develop
ment
The board members We're mainly dis
posed to welcome the Suggestion that
the placing of the city hall should be
with an eye to the establishment of
civic center, and will probably consider
the submission Of the whole proposition
in alternative bond issues. to give +he
people the final disposition of the mat
ter.

SAN MATEO, April 13.-While the

to withdraw the steps they have taken
for the annexation of San Mateo park,
Burlingame was equally busy in laying

CEMENT BIDS REJECTED
BY STATE ENGINEER
Ellery Refuses to Pay Price
Asked by Alleged Combine
Especial Dispatch 10 The CalI1

SACRAMENTO. April Estate En-
gineer Ellery today sent back to the
various cement companies the certified
checks which were forwarded with the
bids for 100000 barrels of cement. This
means the rejection of all the cement
bids.
Ellery believes the companies were
in combine, and he refuses to pur-
chase cement for the state at $1.75 a
barrel, because he purchased it a year
ago for $1.25 a barrel.
By holding off for awhile, Ellery
hopes to be able to purchase cement
at lower price, although he refuses

CONTROL COFFEE
TRADE BY REBATES
Pacific Mail and KOsm0s Line
Form Secret Agreement to
Monopolize Business
Jebsen Company Demands Share
of Traffic Under Threat of
Starting Rate War

The existence of new steamship al
lance. having for it's object the control
OF the coffee carrying trade of the Pa
cific, was brought to light yesterday
Mall company and the Kosmos line had
entered into an agreement to monopo-
lie the business. The shippers have
been held in line by a system of re-
bates. These rebates are paid only to
such shippers as patronize no other
line.
The understanding between these two
companies has been carefully guarded
secret and it was not until the Jebsen
line, which was recently established,
endeavored TO enter the coffee carrying
trade that the facts were learned.
Ihis situation was discussed yester-
DAY at conference between Captain f..
jensen, shead of the company that bears
his name, and A. NJ. Garland, freight
traffic manager of the Pacific Mail.
Jebsen called on Garland at the latter's
office in the Flood building and de-
manded that his company be given an
opportunity to enter the trade. AS an
alternative rate war is threatened. 1t
Is said that Garland is prepared too
treat with the new company. Another
meeting will be held at an early date.
BIG REBATE is GIVEN
The freight on coffee from the Cen
trail American states to San Francisco
is $40 a ton. This is the rate quoted
publicly by both the Kosmos line and
the Pacific Mail. There is an under
standing, however. with the importers
that II they patronize no other line
they VIII receive rebate of 25 per
cent or $3.50 a ton. This makes the
rate to those importers $3.50 ton.
When the Jebsen company put its
boats on the run along the coast it So
llclted coffee shipments, but found that
the large importers were afraid to give
II any part of their business, as such
action entailed a violation of the
agreement with the Kosmos line and
the Pacific Mail and meant a forfeiture
of the $3.50 rebate. Jebsen met this
objection by offering a rate of So. Still
the big importers held aloof Jebsen
had but one boat in the service, while
the Pacific Mail had three The one
boat was insufficient for the entire
needs of the importers and it's use for
any part of Sheir cargoes meant that
they would have to pay the full rate on
the Pacific Mail and kosmos vessels.
OBTAINS SOME CONTRACTS
The Jebsen line was able. however, to
obtain contracts with a number of the
smaller shippers, but the large jobbers
have held to their agreement with the
other lines
At this particular moment the coffee
trade is somewhat demoralized There
was great deal of speculation over
the prospect of a duty in the new tariff
bill, but this hope has been dashed by
congress. The steamship Sakarak OF
the hosmos linS,. which reached port
Friday, brought sn $4,000 bags. The
shipments were consigned from south
ern ports and should have reached here
in February. There was DELAY. how
