new FERRY DEPOT,
COMMISSIONS PLAN
Harbor Board Aims to Build
Station at Mission Street
to Relieve Congestion

The harbor commissioners took a
step yesterday which promises to revo-
lutionize the business aspect of lower
Mission street and improve Market
street by relieving the congestion. En-
gineer Ralph Barker was directed to
prepare plans for extending the con-
crete seawall on which the ferry depot
rests to point little beyond the
south side of Mission street This new
stretch of seawall will be of solid con-
crete construction, and on 1t, at the
foot of Mission street, the harbor COM
ferry depot provided on the bay side
with a sufficient number of slips for
the boats of at least one ferry system.
On the shore side there will be a
loop or other arrangement for the
rapid handling of many streetcars. In
short an independent car and ferry
terminal will be established at the
foot OF Mission street, and it will be
built just as quickly as the. work can
be done.
The engineer was also directed to
prepare plans for the extension of the
seawall from the new chief wharf
myers Office to point beyond Wash
fngton street and plans for buildings
to be constructed thereon for the ac-
commodation of the river steamship
Ecosrr,anies These accommoe5a tions will
include Offices and passenger waiting
rooms. The California navigation and
improvement company will be one of
Fthe concerns benefited by these i'm
provements and yesterday showed its
appreciation of the march of progress
Eby contributing $500 toward the ex-
Ipense.
+ President Stafford announced that ali
future seawall construction with which
the board has anything to do will be
OF solid concrete.

GoIdstone SimpIifies Case
Goldstone's appearance in the
case simplihed matters considerably.
On reading of the plot against Good
win he went to the police headquar-
ters, carrying with him a promissory
note he had received from O'Loane
for loan OF $125, and also a power
of attorney given to O'Loane by
Goodwin. The power of attorney had
been given to him as security.
He told the police that the men
had visited his barber shop, at COS
Larkin street, March l, and asked for
loan of SIPS from him. He wanted
security. and they returned with the
power of attorney given to O'Loane
by Goodwin.

$125, the agreement being that at the

New York, Dec. IA sociological
conference at which the church and
labor interests may meet on common
ground was commenced in New York
today under the auspices of the de-
partment of church and labor of the
Presbyterian Church. The Reverend
Charles Steele, superintendent of the
department., made the following an
nouncement as to the purpose of the
gathering:
1T has frequently been said thai
the Presbyterian Church has no great
leaders in social reform. 1t may be
true that the Presbyterian Church
has been busy about other matters
which seemed more pressing at par
ticular periods in it's history. but the
Presbyterian Church, as compared
with ether demonstrations. has un-
doubtedly done its part in the task of
securing social Justice. Hows(ver,
there is a growing social spirit in the
Presbyterian church to which there
has o been given a chance for de-
finite expression. Quite a mi of
our leading ministers ave suggested
from time to time that those who be-
lieve in the social mission of tae
church should get together for a
frank discussion of the problem, so
that We may come to some agree
ment as to the policy of our church
with regard TO these matters. The
department of church and labor has,
therefore. assumed the responsibility
Of calling this conference. and it is
earnestly hoped that tae interest
manifested in New York will justify
The calling of other conferences in
The Middle West and on the Pacific
Coast.
THE plan in a general way is to
have a number nf h-iaf n1narS nrO-
scented by Presbyterian ministers or
laymea VINO are experts on particular
problems, ZACH paper to be followed
by n full discussion. 1t Isl hoped
that the three days spent in confer
ence viii result in a definite social
program for the CHURCH. which may
at once be put into operation"
