RECALL DAYS OF
 FORTY-NINE IN
 SAN FRANCISCO
Convention Delegates, How ever, Will Not See Old
 Time Places

San Francisco, June 2I.-V1Sltors to the Democratic National Conven- tion will sec but few reminders of the old, romantic days of San Francisco. when the red-shirted miners swept down from the gold-streaked reaches of the Sierras and threw fistfuls of 'spay dirt' on the bars of the store counters for whatever they wished to purchase.
 Gone Is the roaring "Barbary Coast and its less picturesque en- vtrons. 'Bottle" Koenig and Bottle Meyers, who used to run noisy cock fighting establishments in what Is now the; shadow of the Hall of Jus tice have long since passed on and the Montana Dance Hall" most blaring and blatant of all the coasts resorts is hardly memory.
 Chinatown guides still point out the little restaurant hanging precar- iously over old Dupont street where Frank Norris, the author, went oc- casional1y to get a bit of local color. Directly ahead and facing the Hall of Justice is Portsmouth Square, a cove for the 'city's human drift where the vigilantes staged many a stirring scene and the "sand-lotters' under the leadership of the fiery Dennis Kearney, discussed the towns polit- icaI issues. --n5s.-
 Most of the old cafes, where much of the city's history was plotted, re- main in name. only. Gone is Duncan Nichols the Bank Exchange" of former days where the famous Pisco Punch was served over a mahogany bar that was brought around the Horn The old Cliff House, where Presidents of the United States and other renowned itinerants used to en- ioxy 1,a If Wq burned down years ago.
 On waverly Place still may be seen the quarters of the old Siberia Club, stronghold of Tee Nee, "King of Chinatown" Here, before the police "axe parties became a feature of Chinatown the chance games of "coon-can" "chuck-a-luck" and fan tam were played in the midst of a maze of corridors, sliding panels worked by secret springs and exotic odors of opium and Chinese dishes.
 The black docks that lined the : '.Front" from China Basin to the Presidio are gone and stately berths for ocean liners have risen in their place. The dingy bars that stood back of them, where adventurers of all degrees were once dropped, drug stupefied, through trap-doors and in- to waiting boats below as part of the great Shanghai" game all have been swept away. The shanghai was the system for recruiting the crews of the "lime-juicers,' the great deep sea barks, that piled principally be- tween San Francisco and South American ports.
 Mob Hill, once the home of the citys elite, shows a collection of jagged foundations, much as the great fire left it. South of the Slot,' the ancient tenemants have given away to smart apartments in their midst standing the slowly disintegrating ruins of the ''Mission of Sorrows known in Spanish as the Mission Dolores" built in 1776 by the Fran ciscans. It is the best memento of the romantic old San Francisco that endures.

Moving City i'm Day Is
What We Attempt Here
Great Apprehension Is Felt Over Success of Effort
That Will Be Made ''Moving Day. Next Fall
To Relocate ALI Who VIII Go Into New Homes

Great confusion is expected in THIS
c!ovc from one place to another. Oc-
tobcr is moving day in New York. 1t
was pushed back from May l by real
estate men for various reasons. Usu-
ally building operations are completed
then, having been started in the
spring.
1t is the suggestion of the Van Own
ers' Association of Greater New York
interval and make provision for meet
ing the difficulties which will confront
landlords, tenants and moving men.
Van owners frankly admit that they
will not be able to move in one day all
who will want to move. 1t has been
several years since the moving force OF
the city has been sufficient to do all
that was expected of it.
To eliminate trouble every removal
must be made with expedition. When
there was no house shortage delays
were not disturbing, but with every
suite occupied vacancies must be made
before occupancy can be gained.
This cannot be, according to the van
owners, because it will not be possible
for them to move the town on single
day. A nicely of timing will be neces-
sary to eliminate inconvenience and
possible legal action. Those who have
made contracts for premises for Octo-
ber l are entitled to them and land
lords will be held responsible for fail
urc to provide them.
eve agree with landlords that some
thing should be done at once or con-
ditions will become unbearable," says
Charles S. Morris, president of the Van
Owners Association. "There are SO
few new apartments that practically
all moving will be from one occupied
apartment to another. All the moving
and it will be impossible for many
the other. If they succeed in getting
their furniture on a van they will
probably find that the occupant of
their new apartment has been unable
to get out and may invoke the aid of
the law to continue. With storage
warehouses all full, storing of valuable
furniture and fragile decorations in
lofts or on the sidewalks temporarily
may make the landlord liable to dam
ages because of not turning over the
apartment on time
Instead Of concentrating the NOV
ing into few days it should be scat
.eieo, anu tnlS can De done. Ihey
haven't this trouble in Chicago now,
and there is no reason why New York
ers should continue to inflict this nui-
sance on themselves any longer. 1t
would be an easy matter for each land
lord to make the leasing date for one
third Of his apartments September /,
one-third October l and the remainder
November l. With such an arrange
ment the landlords can avoid much
trouble and the tenants move in COM
fort"
Grant Wayne, president of the New
York Furniture Warehousemen's As
sociation, also Endorsed the move for
scattering the leasing date.

Hendrix Hudson.
On Drive, To Be
Bought by Tenants
Syndicate of Sixteen, Some
Occupants of House, to
Pay Sl,325, 900 for the
Big Structure

The Hendrix Hudson, one of the
citys great apartment houses, cover
ing more than ten city lots on River
side Drive and 10th Street, is to be
bought by a group of tenants. Some
of them occupy apartments in the
house, while others will occupy suites
there under the cooperative plan which
has been worked out by Nassot &
Lanning. 1t is expected that all de-
tails will be completed in the next ten
days.
The house will be owned by sixtee
men or women or families. The full
number has not been obtained yet, but
1t is understood the end of the week
will see the corporation completed
The tenants are paying S1,325,000 for
the house, of which $9S5,00O represents
two amortizing mortgages. The first
is for $4,000 and held by the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company. 1t
is to be paid off in ten years. The
second mortgage, Of $15O,00O, is to be
paid off in semi annual payments in
five years.
There are seventy-two apartments
OF SIX, seven, eight and nine rooms in
the house. The fifty-seven suites that
the property, pay off mortgages and
give a good return on the investment.
Nassoit & Lanning will operate the
house for the tenants. 1t was pointed
out that the income would increase
yearly, as in three years the entire
building will be on rental based on
new conditions.
Then Hendrix Hudson is eight stories
high and one Of the notable apart
ment buildings of the city. It was
erected perhaps ten years ago and for
many years was the property of the
American Real Estate Company.
In 1t are a valet room, children's
playground, gymnasium and maids
rooms, which are on the roof. The
