■FRISCO IS
IN DANGER
Perils of Chinese Quar-
ter Portrayed.
MENACE-TO CITY
President of the Board of Health
Declares Chinatown Should
be Utterly Destroyed.
A San Pram isro special to the St.
Louis Republic. dated November la,
says:
"Dr. .1. M. Williamson, president of
the Pan Francisco board of health, has
just Cit'd his annual report with Mayor
Phelan, and the most important rec-
tmmtendation in it is that for the de-
struction of the Chine.-e quarter. The
report has this to say:
" 'Chinatown, as it, is at present, can
act he tendered sanitary except by
total obliteration, it should be de;n p-
aiated. its buildings lovt led by tire and
it tuniuds and cellars laid bare; its oc-
cupants should be colonized on some
distant portion of the peninsula, where
every violation of sanitary laws could
at once lie detected. In this, and no
other wav. will there be safety from
the invasion and propagation of Ori-
ental diseases.
“ 'Tile day has passed when a pro-
gressive city like San Francisco should
feel compelled to tolerate in its midst
-i foreign community perpetuated in
tilth for the curiosity of tourists, th“
cupidity of lawyers and adoration of
artists.'
"Ur. Williamson's recommendations
are in line with those made last May
by Dr. George F. Sehradv. die famous
New York Physician, who was sent out
to Sun Francisco to investigate the
circumstances that led to the wide-
spread reports that bubonic plague ex
teted in this city."
Recommendation Was Tardy.
In reference to the foregoing Secre-
tary Russell of the Chamber of Coni
merer said:
“Dr. Williamson lias simply advised,
tardily, the course which Dr. W. X.
Vilas, president of the board of health,
declared upon his return from San
Francisco over a yeai ago. was the onv
safe and sensible plan to pursue, it is
certainly significant of danger that,
after many months of makeshift
measures, the president of the Sin
Francaseo beard of health is compelled
to advise a resort to the most, drastic
of remedies. 'Idle significant, word in
his report is “tilth,” and the clear in-
ference is that cleanliness and sanita-
tion are the safeguards against bu-
bonic plague, as against disease gen-
erally.”
MEADE IS ON TRIAL
Colonel Court Martailed on Ser
ious Charges.
New York, Nov. 19.—Col. Robert
L. Meade, commanding officer of the
marine barracks, Brooklyn navy yard,
faced a court martial today in the
paymaster’s building at the yard on
c harges preferred against him by MaJ.
Lauchheimer and Col. Denny. The
officer is accused of drunkenness
while on duty, and scandalous con-
duct. The members of the court are
near Admiral Geo. W. Sumner, Capt.
Geo. E. Wilde, Col. Janies Forney,
Captain E. Cook, Captain F. E. Chad-
wick, Captain B. P. Lamberton, Capt
It. E. Walker, Captain Geo. W. Pig-
man, and Captain C. M. Chester. The
judge advocate was Lieutenant E. P
Nyeblack, assisted by Captain B. F.
Fuller.
Only two witnesses were examined
today, the first being Co!. Denny, one
of the complainants, who made a di-
re< t charge of intoxication and luilie
coming conduct against Col. Meade.
In the testimony he says that, on
Murrh i.X, April 30 and July IS of this
year, while on a tour of inspection of
the barracks, lie, in company with
Wm. A. Boring, of Boring & Tilton,
architects, had come in contact with
Col. Meade, who. he said, was incapa-
ble of performing his duties as an
officer.
Architect Boring, another witness,
testified to practically the same. He
said Col. Meade was incoherent at
times, and made sweeping statements
as to all the contractors having busi-
ness in the navy yard, saying that
they were all thieves and robbers,
and made other remarks more ford
hie than polite.

Heistand Investigation
(Continued from First Page.)
Thomas S. Hopkins testified that.
.Hawkes had to be Died to convince
him that he illawkesi could have ihe
hemp ports opened and closed when
he pleased through tertain officials.
Hawkes bad not shown him anything
authoritative to support this claim.
Hawkes went on the stand and tes-
tified that Colonel Hehu.tntl had never
said a worn to him about iniluenelng
the opening and closing of hemp -ports,
and that other hemp promoters hud
never mentioned such a thing. He de-
nied that he told Harrison and Hop-
kins that, through certain officials lie
oould secure the opening and closing
of ports.

EVENT IN GOTHAM.
Plea For Federal Control of Irri-
gation Works
I.os Angeles, Nov. 19.—The execu-
tive committee of the Southern1 Cal-
ifornia section of the National irri-
gation association formulated a tele-
gram of protest which has been sent
to President Roosevelt. The telegram
calls the president's attention to a
report from Washington to the effect
that he would recommend to congress
a line of action for the reclamation
of a t in lands which will have the
effect of intrusting to the states, in-
stead of to agents of the federal gov-
ernment, systematic development of
lilans for irrigation works. The com-
mittee represents such a policy would
be the death blow to the national
irrigation movement and to the era of
home building on the public domain.
The telegram also calls the president's
attention to his letter of November
10, 1900, to tlie National Irrigation
congress at Chicago which, it is said,
"(Tystalized the sentiment domina-
ting that convention, that tlie reclama-
tion of arid lands must he kept abso-
lutely within tlie control of the na-
tional government."

October, in order to keep up the price

Mis. I'. B. Weare, one of Chicago’s
prominent educational women and an
enthusiast in woman’s club work, is
a guest at the Sheldon, en route to
California to spend the winter.
Mrs. Weare is the wife of a wealthy
dealer on the Chicago board of trade,
who is a leader in the civic society
which recently did such effective
work in driving the practice of boodle-
ism out of tiie Chicago council and
was responsible for the introduction
of a civil service system in the police
department.
Those familiar with Chicago and
its handsome residence struct,ires re-
member the palatial home of the
Weare s on the north side, overlook-
ing Lincoln park, wherein was en-
acted a scene that at the time—five
years ago—created no small sensa-
tion and demonstrated the grown
daughter of Mrs. Weare to be about
the grittiest young woman in that
big town.
It was at the time when sneak
thieves and porch-climbers had charge
of the residence portion of Chicago,
much to the chagrin and helplessness
ot tlie police. Big robbery hauls were
made almost nightly from richly fur-
nished houses, the thieves never fail-
ing to leave a clear track without a
clue, and caused the police to be
roasted liberally for their inactivity.'
Miss Weare’s Clever Trick.
Few thieves were caught, and still
fewer seemed known until the in-
cident at the Weare borne, which re-
sulted in the capture of a hold porch-
climber and burglar by Miss Weare,
acting alone and with the aid of a
sixsliooter.
One evening while the family were
at dinner Miss Weare quit the table
suddenly to visit her apartments.
Possibly never thinking about bur-
glars site hurried into her room only
to be confronted by a ruffian in the act
of looting tlie < hiffonier, and who
without much ado demanded judicious
silence and the whereabouts of val-
uables.
"You could never find them, allow
me," replied the young lady, to which
Mr. Burglar assented and stepped
aside. Into the* receptacle Miss Weare
went, and instead of producing a box
of jewels drew a sixsliooter which
she leveled at the intruder’s head,
caused him to stand with his hands
in tlie air. In this position the young
lady held her captive until she pushed
the electric button and called the
servants, who bound him hand and
toot for the police. The next day all
the papers told tlie story and classed
Miss Weare s deed the greatest dis-
play of nerve and grit ever recorded
in Chicago.

Order Being Established in No-
gales Colledorship.
Mr. Frank Doan, recently appointed
collector of customs in the Arizona
district, was an arrival at the Sheldon
last night from Nogales. He will
spend the day here arranging to bring
his family west and return to Arizona
tonight.
Mr. Doan comes originally from
Ohio, being a son of Congressman
Doan of that state, hut for three years
before securing the Arizona collector-
ship had been a resident of Washing-
ton. Two months ago he was appoint-
ed to relieve Collector Hoey, whose
alleged irregularities in allowing Chi-
namen to cross the border from Mexico
caused the latter’s removal.
“Affairs of the Nogales collector-
ship,” said Mr. Doan last night, “are
gradually becoming straightened out.
and in a short time order will have
been restored. Mr. Hoey recently re-
turned from Sonora, where he is said
to be interested in mining property.
“The district controlled by tiie Nog-
ales office, which extends for 400 miles,
Yuma being on the west, is protected
by a force of only six line riders,
which is, apparently, wholly insuffi-
cient in giving proper protection. The
situation existing at the Nogales port
is peculiar, in that the international
line extends through the town, with
a business street, on either side of it.
To defraud in the payment of duty
is only necessary to cross tlie street
unobserved, and unless a tine to hid-
den goods can he secured tiie attempt
remains successful.
“With the present local force we
have it is difficult to call a complete
halt in tlie smuggling industry. It
is the intention to request a larger
force, including an Inspectress, for lo-
cal work, and an increase in the num-
ber of line riders."

The Texas and Pacific Railway com-
pany will sell round trip tickets El
Paso to Chicago and return at the
