TO Open TUESDAY
Model Modern Ticket Branch in
Lower Market Street Is
Finest in West

With the opening of the new South
ern Pacific ticket ofTice in the Palace
hotel. at Market and New Montgomery
streets. next Tuesday. San Francisco
will be able to boast of the finest ticket
office in all the west, If not in the whole
country. The company has spared no
expense in either furnishings or equip
ment, and has introduced many fea-
lures that mark an innovation in car
ing for the interests of the travelling
public
Instead of the usual wall counters
there is one center circular counter
with wide spaces the whole distance
around to accommodate ticket buyers.
The room, which has $500 square feet
of floor space, and is lighted both in
Market and New Montgomery streets
with large plate glass windows. is fn-
ished in cfrcassian walnut
The most novel feature of the office
is the immense map of the United
States, painted in colors upon the west
ern wall of the room. work on which
has cost over $4,000. The map. unlike
a gerat many railroad maps, is geo.
graphically correct, and is six and a
half miles to the inch. Patrons will be
able to learn in detail of the route they
have chosen to their destination.
1He wall TICKET cases, WnlCn nave
been familiar feature of railroad Of
fees for so many years, are conspic-
uous by their absence. In this Office
the passenger will tell his wants to
the clerk behind the counter, who will
write memorandum upon a slip Of
paper, drop 1t in a pneumatic tube and
a few minutes later the same pneu-
matte tube will supply a ticket over
the desired route and with the proper
number of coupons to the passengers

and all the ticket stock are hidden
away in the basement, to which the
pneumatic tube leads.
The walls are beautifully decorated
with immense photographs of Califor-
MIA scenery designed to advertise the
states attractions to strangers. Con-
trary to the usual custom there will be
no signs upon the windows. leaving
unobscured the view to the ticket office
from the street. The opening to the
office is at the angle point of the two
streets and is OF sufficient size to care
for the large business anticipated.
The Office will be in charge of Fred
S. Shoup, heretofore travelling passen-
ger agent, and who has been promoted
to the position of ticket agent in
charge. The other members OF the
force are well known in railroad cir
cles and are as follows: John T. Smith
Jr. cashier; Charles Olds, William
Schmidt, Robert l.. Shepherd. John
Mitchell and William Hassha gen.

Your letters Of the 9th are at
hand and / have delayed replying
until after the primary elections.
The president directs me to eX-
press to you and your friend his
deep appreciation of the work
which you have done and the
powerful assistance which you
have extended to the administra-
tion from the eginning-an as
much to the legislative and other
successes which have been Sc
cured.
The president recognizes that
your efforts have been wholly
disinterested; that you have
fought sturdily and generously
for what you believed to be his
interest and the welfare and sue
cess of the party.
While republican legislation
pending in congress was opposed
dent felt it to be his duty to the
party and to the country to with
hold federal patronage from GER
tain senators and congressman
who seemed to be in opposition to
the administration efforts to
{ carry out the premises of the
party platform. That attitude.
iOW CNci, cHQcQ Will tie primary
elections and nominating conven-
tions which have now been held,
and in which the voters had an
opportunity to declare them
selves.
The people have spoken as the
party faces the fall elections; the
question must be settled by re-
publicans of every shade of opin-
ion, whether the differences of
the last session shall be perpet-
uated or shall be forgotten.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 15.-One of

The president is confident that
you will yourselves meet your

The president feels that the
value of federal patronage has
been greatly exaggerated and the
refusal to grant it has PROBABLY
been more useful to the men al

would have been.
In the preliminary skirmishes

and Iowa and elsewhere he was

VIENNA, Sept 15.--A campaign of
passive resistance" the Austrian
equivalent of strike, went into effect
throughout the Southern railroad sys-

a wage dispute between the employees
and the owners. The men did not quit
work, but on the contrary followed i'm
plicitly the exact letter of the musty
rules and regulations of the antiquated
charters of the lines, with the result
that traffic was SO delayed by afternoon
that the system was almost tied up.

Many Coolies Coming

Now comes news that the Manchuria,
which is due Monday, has an even
larger number of Chinese coolies
aboard. In the steerage are $50
Asiatics. and most of these are sons Of
Confueius.
Almost simultaneously Inspector
Lorenzen and Watchman Graham have
been removed from Angel island.
Lorenzen is said to have influence be-
hind him which would make it difficult
even for Sahib Hart North to give him
a transfer to Blaine or some other
frontier post. In his case the matter
was managed diplomatically. He was
detailed to take a French woman, who
had been ordered deported, to New
York. He was given permission to take
his wife along with him and was ad-
vised that there was no need for him
to rush back. BY way of preventing
any undue haste he was given permis-
sion to be away for month. This as a
mark of the commissioners apprecia-
tion of his sterling worth.
INFORMATION COOKIES
With Graham, who has no friends in
high places, there was no need for
diplomacy and in Chinatown it is now
understood that cookies stuffed with
information that might be useful to a
Chinese who claims to have lived In
San Francisco when little boy will
now be delivered to the consignee with
out being rif1ed
This coaching is absolutely necessary
to enable the immigrant with fake
papers to answer the questions put to
him by the board that passes on his
right to land. Graham intercepted
many of these messages. hidden in
cookies. oranges and other odds and
ends that detained immigrants are
allowed to receive from their friends in
Chinatown.
Graham's activity in this respect is
said to be responsible for his removal
from the island, and Doctor Gardner
made himself a nuisance by translating

Grease to Oil Hinges

1t was also announced that there
would be other changes and the Chi
lnese were advised to let their friends
in China know that the exclusion gate
was no longer a barrier to the thrifty
celestial who was willing to pay for
the necessary grease to oil the hinges.
Two months after this announce
ment was made in Chinatown the four
inspectors were given transfers to re-
mote stations on the north and south
frontiers. The reason given officially
for their removal was that Chinese i'm
migration had fallen to such a low ebb
that 1t was no longer necessary to
maintain a large force to handle the
work.
Hardly were the four inspectors
safely out of the way when the Siberia
arrived with record number of Chi
nese coolies, most of them new cases.
Those who clai INTO know say that most
of these Chinese came across the Pa
cific in response to the advice received
from their countrymen in San Fran
cisco, the same celestials who had the
news of the four inspectors removal
two months before it was officially an
nounced

I may say this much, however" he
said, If any charges have been made
accusing me of wrong doing they are
without foundation"
Five minutes after a copy of the
charges had been handed to Gardner,
everybody on Angel island knew 1t,
but beyond the fact that North had to
go back four years for the basis of his
complaint, nobody would discuss the
matter.
The removal of Lorenzen and Graham
is another story.
When North was on his way home
from Washington a few months ago it
was announced in Chinatown that four
inspectors whose knowledge and in
tegrity had practically stopped the use
of fraudulent papers by Chinese immi-
grants, would shortly be removed far
enough from Angel island to prevent
any interference on their part with the
landing of Chinese.

from her geographical position, com
bincd with her varying attitudes. pos
sesset a greater variety of soil, sur
face and vegetation than any equal
extent of contiguous territory in the
world.
