SCHIFF PRAISES
TAFTS POLICIES
Banker, on Way to Alaska, De-
clares Railroad Regula=
ton ''AII Right"

SEATTLE, June 2S.-Jacob H Schif
of New York and a party of guests.
who are to accompany him on a tour
of Alaska, arrived in Seattle today and
will leave for the north on the steam
ship Ramona Thursday.
The policies of President Taft are
entirely proper and their results in
legislation enacted by the congress
which has just adjourned will be bene-
ficial, said Schiff in an interview.
Railroad regulation is all right and
the regulation of the railroads has, in
the present bill, gone to greater de-
gree than any previous measure. 1t
was the uncertainty of things that was
working havoc with the business
world. The railroad bill is now passed
and the railroads know what to expect.
They can quickly adjust themselves to
the new situation and within very
few months the affairs Of the business
and financial world should be on very
satisfactory basis.
The people who get S1z and per
cent interest on their savings accounts
in the larger cities will not deposit
their money in the postoffices," said
he, turning to the Dpstal savings bank
bill. II can see how those in the
smaller communities will find 1t diff
cult to get securities to deposit with
the government Tor the money the
postal savings bank accounts will fur
nish them. Therefore the government
will be forced to take the money de-
posted in the postofices and deposit it
in Washington or elsewhere. This will
work a hardship on the small banks in
the less populated portions of the
country
Besides Mr.. and Mrs. Schiff, those in
the party are General James Wilson.
II retired- Prof Maurice T,oah
brother of Mrs. Schiff, and Mrs. Loeb;
J. A. Plimpton; Manfred Schiff, a
nephew; Edgar Salin, of Frankfort-on-
theMain, a grand nephew of Schiff,
and Miss Helen Wise of Nashville, a
friend of Mrs. Loeb.

FEES CHARGED FOR USE
OF PUBLIC LAVATORIES
Conveniences More Than Pay
For Their Care by City

Greater London comprises number
of .'cities and boroughs." With respect
to public cenveniences perhaps the city
of Westminster is the most represent
ative. and the following is a letter re-
ceived from its town clerk:
"The accommodation is of two kinds,
viz: (a) Underground public convent
ences for men and for women, of which
there are II in Westminster, the ma
jority situate in busy streets; and (b)
above ground urinals for men, of which
there are 40. The underground public
cpnveniences are mostly constructed
under the streets, or under the public
parks adjacent ITO and with means of
access direct from the streets. They
contain urinals, water closets and lava
tory accomm odation. In the case of
one OF these underground conveniences
there is also dressing room, which
can be hired on payment of a small
fee. A charge of l penny g cents) Is
made (by means of penny in the slot
locks) for the use of the water closets,
and I'd a cents) for the use of the
lavatories. 1 give particulars of the
accommodation, the average cost of
maintenance and working during the
five years ended March 81, 1909, and
the average receipts during the same

STOCKTON TUNNEL
PROJECT IN COURT
Property Owner Will Begin Pro=
ceedings to Test Powers of
the Supervisors
Petition for Injunction to Settle
Dispute as to Charter
Provision

The first case brought in the history
of California to determine the right of
a charter board of supervisors to build
a tunnel under a charter provision
covering street Improvement work will
be argued today in the superior court.
when Olin I. Berry, attorney for L.
Brand, property owner in Grant ave-
nue. north of California street will ask
for an order against the mayor, super
v1sors and board of public works en-
Joining them from changing the grade
and building subway in Stockton
street. 1t will be known as the Stock
ton street tunnel case and will forever
settle the dispute which has been
raised since the Mob Hill tunnel asso-
citation launched the movement to drill
highway in Stockton street under the
California street HILL
SUIT TO TEST THE LAW
The suit will be friendly one,
brought after much consultation be-
tween counsel on all sides. and will be
purely technical In all probability
the matter will go to the state supreme
court to protect all the property owners
In the Stockton street tunnel assess
ment district and to keep all titles free
from cloud Representing the city will
be City Attorney Long, assisted by At
torneye Theodore Savage, counsel for
the stockton street tunnel association,
which is headed by DIR. Herbert Law.
The petition which will be filed this
morning will ask for an injunction for
three reasons. It Will allege that the
district assessment, under whiclfs the
work has been planned. is illegal and
beyond the discretion of the supervisors
and other defendants; that Stockton
street Is an Improved and accepted
street" which is said to bar an assess
ment district under the charter, and
that the city authorities, in issuing the
resolution of intention and publishing
the same, have exceeded their discre-
tien.
REASON FOR SUIT
Should the work be allowed to pro-
ceed. 1T Is alleged, property along the
cut would be damaged to the extent of
100000, and on the ground that the
proceedings of the board would consti-
tute a cloud on the title to property for
which there is mo plain, speedy and
adequate remedy at law an injunction
will be asked
Brand, the plaintiff. owns lot 25x112
on the north side of Stockton street,
near California.
The case. when finally settled and re-
ported, will be a parallel to the La Sale
street case in the Illinois state reports,
covering the proceedings involved in
digging a subway in Chicago. The in
junction proceedings today will be the
first step in the progress of building
the much desired Stockton street tun-
mel. 1t is expected that all possible
haste will be made in getting a final
Judgment In the matter.

CLERGYMAN SWINDLES
WEALTHY SOUTHERNER
Started for Palestine to Await
Coming of Christ

LONG BEACH. June 2S.-The family
of Peter Martens, a wealthy resident of
this city, who started for Palestine re-
Gently to prepare for the second COM
ing of Christ, received a telegram from
him today. asking for funds with which
to get home.
Martens wired that the clergyman
who induced him to sell valuable prop
erty and take the money to the holy
land, had f1eecej him OF several thou
sand dollars and feft him stranded in
Alexandria, Egypt. Martens says he
reached New York today through the
charity of a tourist to whom he told
his story in Cairo.
According to his message, instead of
devoting the money to evangelical pur-
poses the minister induced him to buy
mining stock. and now Martens is
waiting for funds to buy passage across
the continent.

SLOT DEVICES BOB
UP BEFORE BOARD
Cigar Dealers Again Ask the SUI
pervis0rs to Permit Use of
Card Machines
City Hall Project Gives Up the
Ghost, but May Be
ReSurreCted

The second attempt during this aj-
ministration to bring back the slot ma
chimes was marked yesterday by the
submission to the board of supervisors
of a long petition, asking the board to
permit cigar dealers to have two ma
chimes at each place of business upon
the payment to the city of license
and under restrictions as to their use.
An advance petition of about 150
dealers referred to the police COM
mittee Monday by the board would
have been considered yesterday by the
committee, but Chairman Herget and
Supervisor Knowles were absent on an
inspection trip in the Potrero, and SUI
pervisor Deasy did not care to meet
alone.
For the same reason, there being ap-
parently no haste in the matter, the
question of granting four round anna
teur fight permits during July was not
taken up under the applications pre-
sented.
1t is understood that the Royal Arch
is back of the movement to bring back
the card devices, and that the present
petitions are to be followed by others
in a determined effort to persuade the
board to allow the slot machines re-
turn.
CITY HALL PROJECT EXPIRES
The city hall project, even the tenn
porary" city hall project, has again dis
solved itself in mist. Chairman Kelly
of the supervisors finance committee
has received the intimation from back
ers of the firm proposing to erect
three or four story structure at Eighth
and Mission streets that the PROPOSE
tion can not proceed.
Chairman Nelson of the building COM
mittee stated yesterday at its session
that Hunt, Osteyee and Banz would
probably not be able to complete the
arrangements to take over the city,
present leases in the Grant and Hewes
buildings and that in consequence they
might not proceed with the proposed
temporary structure in Mission street,
the project tentatively accepted by the
board.
The committee took no action in the
matter. but most of the board members
are veering around to the idea that the
only thing to do is to begin the con-
struction of a series of buildings on the
old city hall site, to be constructed on
unified plan and occupied as COM
pleted. The board is not likely to take
the matter up seriously, however. until
after its unofficial vacation in July and
August.

ZEPPELIN AND CITY
OF PRAGUE QUARREL
Count Declines to Land Airship
in Ancient Town

4 petty difference has arisen be-
tween the municipality of Prague and
Count Zeppelin. The count, in one of
his flights, had intended landing in
Prague. The municipality intimated
that it would give the civic fathers
much pleasure TO receive the aviator,
but it was stipulated that in all ameni-
ties passing between them the Czech
language should be used. Zeppelin was
annoyed at the request, and politely
intimated to the council of the ancient
city that he would dispense with their
hospitality, and instead of going to
Prague. would descend at the little VIII
lage of Leimeritz, says the London
Globe. The German papers are very in
dignant about the incident, but on this
occasion the boot in on the other foot.
Prague is not Alsace-Lorraine, and the
indignity offered to the German Ian
guage is very different. it would seem,
TO that offered to the French in the
annexed provinces.
