Bohemia of Old Holds
Sway Once More in
HauntS of Past

~ I'D the world famed Bohemian
life of San Francisco disap-
pear into the consuming NAV
of the great fire? There we're
those back there in the first few days
of hope booming calamity who said
San Franciscos noted coterie of artists,
writers and gay lovers of unconven-
tionality would seek new scenes of
disportment. But did they?
To an outsider. perhaps. it would
seem that all the old places had van
ished. Noises are heard no more from
the rear rooms of large French res
taurants after 10 o'clock at night. The
lights in all of them are put out shortly
after the businessmen go to their homes
for the evening. In all of them? Well,
in all of them on the main streets.
But are there no more Bohemian res
taurants? Cafes that never close, where
the workers Of the night gather TO
meet their kind: where raviola, spa
ghetti. Italian style. tagIairini. can be
had for % cents. including a bottle of
''Dago Red?'
OF course there are. but the loca-
tions are kept secret. Why2 Because
for years the small bunch of BOhem-
ians an exclusive bunch, has been try
ing to find a location where all of
these delicacies can be procured, where
they will not be bothered by sight
seers and where the so called society
crowd. out on Summing tour, will

our good times to ourselves. They want
to get in with the bunch. They are
willing to spend their money, but we
don't want them.
Who are these shy Bohemians who
flock so much to themselves? Robert
Louis Stevenson was one of the first.
Mark Twain was another old time
figure. OF more recent years George
Sterling, the poet, Harry Laff1er. editor.

But the Bohemian restaurants are
not the only famous cafes of San Fran
cisco. They are it's most famous insti-
tutions because of their associations
and the sentiment attached. But their
vogue is mostly that of the adventurer
and seeker for new sensations.
The famous great restaurants of San
Francisco-the palaces and grills where
chefs who have served kings prepare
viands for the one who appreciates-
these are here again in all their mag
nificence and finer palaces are rising
on every hand.
In the Bohemian life of the stage,
too, San Francisco has once more come
| into her own. In the old days San
Francisco was famed throughout the
| length and breadth of the land as
great show town. Today San Fran
cisco has more theaters, better ones,
with greater seating capacity, and they
are more liberaAy patronized. The
! theaters have been the last to join in
the downtown race, but they have
caught the spirit, anc when the hand
some playhouses now under construc-
tion and those already completed are
all thrown open San Francisco will hold
again more firmly her supremacy in
amusements.
The San Francisco call., 1909-01-01

X EVEN years ago, just before the
organization. of the California
Promotion committee, California
was as a house divided. Each
locality expended its force in individ-
ual effort to build itself, regardless of
all other parts of the commonwealth,
and in many instances to the detri-
ment OF other localities. Bitterness OF
feeling was frequently expressed by
interior communities against San
Francisco. and the interdependence Of
the state as a whole lacked recogni-
tion and appreciation.
1t was deemed necessary first to ses-
tabIish confidence between. the various
localities and to break down section
alism by a closer acquaintance be-
tween all the people. Following. the
usual custom Of commercial organi-
cations il organized excursions of san
Francisco businessmen to various
parts of the state, but while this
served to effect temporary friendships
it was found Ineffective in bringing
about. closer relationship between 10
calities. -.
Much. study of the situation devel
oped the counties committee, with its
semiannual meetings. which brought.
together twice a, year. in different
part sof California, representative of
all the commercial organizations and
formed an effective working body
having the interest of the whole state
at heart: Each successive meeting
showed increased attendance and in
creased interest until al the tenth,
held iu Los Angeles last November.
more than 400 people, representing
= Col in
unison for the general. good, under
the motto "One for. all, all, for one.
AS q direct result of these meetings
and of other missionary work ener-
getically and persistently carried on
by the committee. the state has been
unified, and there has been brought
about among all the people feeling
of pride and ownership in the me-
tropolis-San Francisco-to the eX-
tent that it has now become an axiom
that what Benefits California benefits
San Francisco, and what benefits San
Francisco benefits the state as a
whole.
Through its reception. committee,
with 2e members, and its. o-operant
committee with 80 members, all
prominent businessmen of. San. Fran

stantly being .accentuated and
strengthened and the close relation
ship between country and city ce-
mented to. the extent that all parts of
California now know that. all interest
centers in the great city by the bay.
These two committees, working in
harmony with all. the interests repre-
sented by the: Promotion committee,
are broadening this work and have

THE LOG-BOOK

The steamer Roma is not expected
to leave this port for the coast till
tomorrow afternoon when she will tow
the Fullerton back Unusually heavy
oil is given as the reason that the
steamer Roma was unable to get away
last night In spite of the fact THAI
her pumps we're worked up to their
full capacity she was unable to handie
the thick flow in the usual time. This
morning she was pumping from the
barkentine Fullerton and the latter
was helping ner out by furnishing
steam with which the heavy oil on
the Rome was being warmed and thus
made easier for handling.

sailed at O'Clock instead of s. as had
been announced. The result was that
the vessel was compelled to anchor off
the harbor while DuaJs were sent in
to pick up the many straggers who
had not heard of the early sailing. Ii
the quartermasters department had
taken the trouble to notify the after
noon papers of the fact that it had
been decided to sail two hours earlier
the difficulty would have been avoided,

city during the past few weeks.
At the time the first bids were
opened for the completion of the
bridge across the river at the foot
of First avenue, it was bruited
about the streets that o. L. Peavey
claimed that the reason he did not
get the contract and that it was
awarded to the Burrell Bridge COM
pany was to pay $1,000 to the
chairman of the board of county
commissioners if they got the con-
tract. Following upon the heels
of this charge came the counter
charge that Mr.. Peavey had offered
bonus of 81 900 himself if he was
awarded the contract, and that
the Burrell Bridge company had
out bid him.
Relative to the charges of cor
ruptness at Newport it is alleged
that conspiracy exists between
some of the officers at that place
to arrest people and fine them an
amount equal to what cash they
have on their person and then
railroad them to the county Jail at
this place to be boarded at the
county expense for several weeks.
t. G. Bell, chairman of the board
OF county commissioners, stated
yesterday, wnen interviewed by the
News relative to the calling CT the
grand jury that he was ready for
the investigation to the end that
the gossip that was going about
might be stopped as he had moth
ing to fear from an investigation.
So far the rumors have connect

toner's with any charge of graft
