C. F. Harrison ventured the opinion nt
the meeting of the. Real Kstnle. exchange
lnut Wednesday that no Kamnm Blreet
property east of Twentieth will Ret too hlffh
until It had reached ll.Ooo a front foot. Thti
opinion iu concurred In by a number of
other dealers. If that la truo, the-n tha
present owners of some of the property
between Twentieth and Sixteenth can
make, good money by holding to It awhile'.
But Mr. Harrison ihowed In the name
talk that realty vnlucs are not stable. He
told of Clinton Brltfifs, who twenty ye-ra
ago bought the lot where the Kohrhough
college now stands. lc p.ild f-T,C'0. and
six nionthK after wae ofTeied V. but be

Harrison mentioned, however, are row
making money on the recent advance In
values, having bought a few yeitrs ago,
when real estate was depressed.

J. W. Robblns. S. 9. Curtis ventured a re

Not long ago Herman Brothers bought a

pickle and vinegar factory. And bo the
development keeps on. It is only a matter
of a short time, say the realty men. when
the demand for trackage will puuh the
denizens of the red lipht district to another
pert of the city. A commercial expansion
has begun in that direction and is bound
to conttlnue, for trackage property along
the railroad main lines Is getting scarce.

There is reason to fear that San Fran

of administrative dishonesty as shocking
and distressing to the country as th.;

affliction touched a sympathetic chord li
evory true heart and Induced an outpour
ing of bounty more than sufficient to sue

icence the country's response to tho call
of the stricken city surpassed any slmila:
draft on the people'a bounty In the history
of the nation. No one, In contributing v
tho fund, gave a thought as to the man

attained. That was sufficient.
More serious than any charge heretofore
President Roosevelt indicates that vast
sums of money received through the malls
and from express companies have not been

Relief Fund Partly Refunded.
One of the few admirable features of the
relief work In San Francisco Is detailed In
a late Issue of the Columbian, the official
patXT of the Knights of Columbus. This
organization undertook .to raise a relief
fund of $100,000 for members of the order
and their families who suffered from the
.apthquilke and fire. A fraoUon OVPr mm
was forwarded to the relief committee of
the knights. This sum was deemed suffi
cient by the committee, and further con
tributions were stopped at its request.
t'nilor dale of September 28 the relief
commltt'-e reports to tho national officers
of the order: "We have relieved all the
distress of our brothers whose cases were
made neceBsitous by the April disaster. We
feel that any cases which might present
themselves In the future will come from
other causes than tho late calamity and
that they should be borne bv the proper
local council. We wish to have It known
that we learned upon Investigation that the
number of applications for relief made upon
our board fell far short of that upon any
other fraternal organization in our midst,
The knights here were among the earliest
to rehabilitate. This statement la supported
by the fact tint, though the knights were
hit as hard as any other class of our cltl-
aeiis, only lt,lo, approximately, was used
by us in relief work, despite the fact of
nearly $KVo being known to be at our
call.

John and Herman Krause, not satisfied
with their first vain appeal for a new trial

The brief for the second application

though the court did direct the Jury not to
