HUNGARIAN SOCIETY
GATHERS AT BANQUET
Mayor Mccarthy Is Guest of
Honor at Festal Board

One of the most successful affairs
in the annals of the local First Hun
garian society was the banquet given
last Tuesday evening at one of the
down town cafes. 1t was attended by
200 of the most prominent members
of the organization and their wives
and by number of specially invited
guests, among these being Mayor and
Mrs. P. II. Mccarthy. Mr.. and Mrs
Eugene e. Pfaeffie, Mr.. and Mrs. John
T. Burnes and Mr. and Mrs. Tierney.
One of the features of the evening
was the opening speech on the loyalty
of the Hungarians to the land of their
adoption. given by the toastmaster
of the evening, E. j. Janovitz. 1t was
followed by brief addresses from the
! mayor, Burnes and Pfaeffie, the latter
choosing for his subject the future of
San Francisco.
Among the other speakers were M.
Roth. George Grossman, M. Schwartz
and j. Zeller. and a letter from Charles
+. Curry, the choice of the three Hun
garian societies for governor in the
coming election, was read, in which
he expressed his regret at not being
able to attend in person.
The officers of the society who ar
ranged the banquet and were foremost
in making it a success were the past
president, Eugene E. Janovitz; the
president, f. Hoffman; the vice presi-
dent e. j. Janovitz; the treasurer. S.
Schwartz, and the secretary, George

EDITOR ACCUSED OF
LIBELOUS PUBLICATION
Surety Company President Pre-.
fers Criminal Charge

Fred B. Lloyd. president of the Pa
cine surety company, First National
Bank building, swore to a complaint
yesterday charging John c. Piver. edi-
tor and publisher of the Underwriters
Report, with criminal libel The al
legged libel was contained in the issue
of the paper of March IT.
1t was in an open letter addressed
to E. Myron Wolf. state insurance com
missioner. in relation to an alleged
scheme on the part of o. L. Van Lani-
CHAN. an eastern insurance promoter.
and President Lloyd to increase the
capital stock of the surety COMPANY
with the intent ito defraud California
citizens out of hundreds of thousands
of dollars"
The scheme is characterized as an
unprincipled one. and both Van Lani-
CHAN and Lloyd are designated as un-
principled schemers. rogues and black
guards The principal part of the open
letter deemed libelous reads as fol-
lows:
Any person interested can verify
the allegation of roguery charged
to Lloyd and Van Lanighan by
visit to the Office of this paper
Ten minutes time only will be re-
quired to expose completely as
pretty a piece of dishonest manip-
ulatfon of insurance returns as was
ever put forth by unprincipled but
accomplished blackguards.

MORE CONGRESSMAN
RESULT OF CENSUS
California May Gain Increase of
Five in the House of
Representatives

If the estimate of the California de-
velopment board, putting the popula-
tion of the state at 100000 be proved
correct by the coming census, Califor-
MIA viii be entitled to five more mem
bers in congress.
The California development board, at
a recent meeting laid much stress
upon the fact that much of the in
accuracy of the census is due to the
inattention of those directly interested.
1t was shown that the unwillingness
on the part of foreigners to give the
necessary information to census emu
merators lies in their failure to under
stand the object of the census.
William d. Scurlock. school census
marshal; Alfred Roncovieri, superin-
tendent of schools, and George B. Bald
win, supervisor of census, held a con-
ference Wednesday to discuss the CEN
Sus taking by the two sets of enumer-
ators, one for the state and one for the
federal government. 1t was thought
that there might be confusion because
of the fact that both sets will work the
same day in the city. The state or
school census is of Importance, in that
every child listed between / and II
years of age means so much money for
the state appropriation.
Data will be taken by the federal
enumerators concerning the vocation
of each family, relation to home. and
property holdings. Facts will also be
gathered about the agricultural prod
ucts and livestock of the city.
Supervisor of Census Baldwin stated
yesterday that every piece of proper
ty producing $3.50 worth of material
or over a year would be listed as a
farm. This would include vegetable
gardens, dairies, nurseries and poultry
yards and all such places requiring the
daily attention of one person. He said
that the census bureau had ascertained
the surprising fact that there were
over 5000 of these farms in San Fran
cisco.
Enumerators who have received no.
tice of having passed their examination
are requested to report to the census
bureau for further information

CHINESE WIN FIGHT
But LOSE FRIENDS
Department OF Commerce Orders
All Witnesses Examined at
Angel Island
Change Leads Those Ready to
Testify to Refuse Further
Accommodation

The Chinese won a barren victory in
their fight against the immigration
authorities when Commissioner Hart
North received orders yesterday from
the department of commerce and labor
requiring all white witnesses to ap-
pear for examination at Angel island
instead of at the office in the Apprals-
ers' building.
When the change was made TO the
new Angel island station influential
Chinese and their white attorneys de-
manded return to the old Pacific Mail
company's sheds. Later their protest
was aimed against North's system OF
taking testimony. North established
an office in the Appraisers building Tor
the convenience only of white VII
nesses. and the Chinese threatened a
boycott of American goods unless their
countrymen were given an equal privi-
lege.
To do away with the alleged dis
elimination the department. has or
dered all witnesses to go to the island
The result is that the white witnesses
who learned of the new rule at tle
Appraisers building said yesterday that
their Chinese friends.
The department, however, makes the
landing of Chinese of the upper mer-
chant and student class, who compose
about per cent of the Chinese imml-
grants, somewhat easier. Those whose
cases have been investigated and found
genuine before leaving may on their
return from China land directly from
the steamer. Heretofore they have first
been taken to the station.
Primary inspection is also extended
not only to the first cabin passengers,
as heretofore. but to the steerage- The
same courtesy is given returning Japa-
nese as heretofore. But when the Ch'-
nese have wives or families with them
or have no papers they must undergo
the usual course.
Two government steamers afford
seven round trips to the island daily
for the benefit of witnesses.

store the pin to Mrs. Dibble

grounds upon which Ethel Owens was
granted a divorce from Charles Owens,
by Judge Graham yesterday. She told
the judge that her husband ousted her
from the kitchen and conducted the
culinary department himself, but his
soups and other foods were so diluted
with water that no nourishment re-
mained.
JACOB b. kaufman, proprietor of the
Kaufman chemical works, resisted the
petition of his wife Maryn for $10G
a month alimony by pleading in Judge
Grahams court yesterday that she
owned valuable property. Mrs. Kauf-
man denied this and said that her hus-
band had an income of $500 a month.
An application that the order restrain

submission by the judge, together with
the application for alimony
