CHUTfS IS INVOLVED
IN fJFCTMFNT SUIT
Realty & Rebuilding Company
Seeks to Set Aside Lease
OF City Block
Defendants Claim Renewal OF
Lease of Property Belong
ing to Spreckels

Trial of an action involving lease
block bounded by Fillmore, Eddy. Turk
and Webster streets. upon which
stands the amusement enterprise
known as the Chutes. was begun be-
fore a jury in Judge Sturtevant's court
yesterday. The block belongs to Ru-
dolph Spreckels. although title to it
stands in the name of the Realty and
Rebuilding company. That corpora
tion is now suing for possession of the
property, alleging that the lessees have
lease. The principal lessee is the Fill
more Arcade company. of which Abra-
ham Ruef. the convicted bribe giver,
owns about 80 per cent of the stock.
Spreckels leased the block to Sulli-
van, Rea & Kehrlein, real estate deal
ers. June L, 1906.k The land has been
sublet to. many occupants, including
the Chutes realty company the Fill
more Arcade company, Louise Pom. ].
III. Taylor and Meyer & Steffens. The
lease TO Sullivan, Rea & Kehrlein was
for three years, with an option for an
extension for an additional three years
upon certain terms. Before the expira-
tion of the first three years the Realty
and Rebuilding company served notice
to quit on the tenants and subtenants.
This they refused TO do. and the result
was the action for possession.
Charles s. Wheeler, attorney for the
Realty and Rebuilding company, de-
clared In his opening statement yes
terday that the reason possession OF
the property was demanded was that
the lessees had failed to erect sHbstan-
tial buildings worth s126.00o. They
had merely put up flimsy shacks. he
said, worth not half the stipulated
amount.
Fabius Finch. who with Jacob
Meyer. c. H. Sooy. James Devote and
five or six other attorneys represent
the defendants, said that the lessees
had a right to an extension of the lease
to June go. 1912. Irrespective Of the
value of the buildings erected.
!. Testimony was given by w. s, Scales,
secretary of the Realty and Rebuildin g
company. that the rental value of the
property in its present condition was
Sc, 900 a month. He said his company
was receiving s3.56e in rents, besides
81 OeO month from the Chutes and d
share in the profits of that enterprise
of from to 10 per cent of. the receipts,
according to the amount earned. He
SAID the sum received altogether from
the Chutes' was about 81 400 month.
bringing the total receipts from the
block up to. about $4,000 monthly.

Fashion Notes
How women May Acquire Graceful
Ffgures-Every. girl would like to be
beautiful, but the attractions of one who
is graceful are not to be belittled. For
she knows how to sit, stand and move
easily may often hold attention that
merely pretty one can not even evoke.
And Ito be graceful is within the power
of every. w woman. for it consists in train
ing the muscles to obey each movement
and making all do their work harno-
nieusly.
4 few of the attitudes that make for
ungraeefulness are these: To stand
uneyenly with one heel tipped down or
the: feet turned ONT at too great an
angle. In either case it is impossible
to moye easily. for the body, instead
of being poised and 'swaying, as the
novels say. with each movement. is out
of plumb, and either lurches slightly
or tips:
Practice Exercises in Stocking Feet
A woman who has the courage of her
wish to acquire grace will temporarily
abandon heels while she learns to
stand. or rather to hold herself in ball
ance. To practice for standing balance
&c in stocking feet, with heelless
shoes, and stand. with heels together
and toes turned out at an angle of little
the body is then on the balls of the
feet rather than the heels.
The first sensation. when being with
out heels, is that of tipping back, and
for this reason 1T is excellent physical
development to be without them, for
instinctiyely the body. free of supports,
assumes it's correct line, and thus the
first aid toward gracefulness has been
acquired. While striving for equipoise
the head should not drop too far for
ward. and to prevent this mistake a
thin, lightweight book should be placed
upon the head in such a way as to
balance without aid from the hands
This arranged, the woman should
try to rise. on her toes. The chances
are that the book will fall, for not hav-
ing achieved the art of balance, she
tries to make her head help incorrectly
and off goes the book Should this ac-
cident happen, the volume must be put
on again and effort made a second
time to rise on the toes without dis
placing it. When this is easily ac-.
complished there is no question that
great advance toward a graceful car
riage has been achieved.
