Ihe Pacific-Union club one of the most
magnificent clubhouses in the country,
on the apex of Nob hill, it
Commands an unexcelled view of the
j-CTeater portion of the city, a vista of
i the eastern shore of the bay, also a
fcharming marine view extending as
tiar as the Golden Bate.
The walls of the structure, which
Tras badly damaged by. the great flre of
1906, remained Intact^ so they were
retained in the reconstruction, and on
the east fide as well as on the west a
\u25a0semicircular extension was added, the
etyle beinjfc in. conformity with the
jiines of the* original structure. These
\u25baTBrere constructed by stone from the
j-eastern quarry from which the mate
trial used in the building was taken.
;The four lawns around the culbhouse
iare being put in condition and a bronze
rfence in nrtistlc design, with orna-
gates, surrounds the prop

The main entrance fronts in Califor
nia street and the portal is something
:that Is expressive of the highest com
prehension of art In that line. The
interior of the building is the height
of architectural suggestions and
\u25babeauty. At each turn the eye rests on
•"Tome distinctive feature that excites
•admiration.
I In the basement, reached from the
"main corridor by a flight of marble
istalrs. are the billiard room, cafe,

"2s in the Pompeian style and art glass

'\ On the other elde is a modern kitch-
Yen, storeroom and power plant to sup
fs>ly light and steam.
\u25a0 On the main floor are four corridors
-^rith lofty arches. The whole is In
•"Tennessee gray marble in what Is
-called "classic architecture," the effect
j""being grand and pleasing to the eye.
i"Oa this floor is the. main oflSce, visitors'
parlor, writing room and the
SnaJn court. The celling is art glass
f and sculptured designs, these by Arthur
f-T'utnain. and the color scheme is by
$03n:c© Porter. There Is also a large
rjounging room In the eastern extension
rflnlshed in oak, ornamented ceiling,
marches and pilasters. The fireplaces in

ROUTES FOR GEARY
LINE INSPECTED
Commissioners of Public Works
and Supervisors Travel Over
Proposed Ways # -
Commissioners Casey, Laumeister and
Newsom of the board of works and Su
pervisors Pugh, . Walsh, Herget and
Loughery, with Acting Clerk E. A. Ken
ney, went over the proposed routes for
the Geary street municipal line yester
day. City Engineer Manson accompa
nied the party, explaining- various draw
backs to certain streets.
Three possible routes were discussed.
The first was to parallel the United
Railroads with double tracks along
Point Lobos avenue from Thirty-third
avenue to Fortieth. The width of the
street at this point, 120 feet, the offi
cials considered ample for two addi
tional tracks. From Fortieth avenue,
the. line would be. diverted into Cliff
avenue and thence out to the ocean.
The second plan, which received most
favorable attention, was to run a sin
gle track from Point Lobos avenue and
Fortieth over Cliff avenue, down past
the Cliff house and along the Great
highway, turning back through C street.
This would enable tourists to reach the
beach, directly over a new scenic line.
Should the use of Point Lobos avenue,
between Thirty-third and Fortieth, be
prevented by a permanent injunction,
City Engineer Manson proposes a double
track line from Point Lobos avenue
over Thirty-third to Balboa street, the
tracks diverting there and forming a
loop out Balboa and around by C street.
A park feeder on Tenth avenue was
suggested for the Geary street road.
FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL

Chief Murphy of the fire department

Lots will be bought In Brazil - avenue
and In San Bruno avenue near Silli

BUTCHER TRUST
SUED BY LESSERS
Lincoln Meat Market Proprie
tors Allege "Silent Boycott"
Th.s complaint in the $100,000 damage
suit of the Lesser Brothers company,
proprietors of the Lincoln meat market
at 877 Market street, against the Retail
Butchers' association and about 30
wholesale and retail meat dealers, was
filed ye^Jerday with the- county clerk.
It alleges that the retail .butchers ; of
San have formed a combine
for the purpose of monopolizing the
purchase and sale' of meat and meat
products; of fixing and enhancing, prices
charged to the public without regard
to cost or to supply, and: demand,' and
of; preventing any competition -between
themselves. " Another object of the Re
tail ButchersV association, it is alleged,
is to prevent such as do. not Join it
and conform to its \u25a0 rules Vfrom engag
ing in the retail meat business.
Lesser Brothers charge that' early in
November Thomas. McKeon; president
of the association, called on them " and
threatened that their - meat supply
would be cut oft unless they, discon
tinued advertisingltheirl prices in the
newspapers and else%vhere. The i reply
was mad.c that i t was the \ business . pol
icy of the plaintiffs to" undersell, com
petitors, and, therefore, as a necessary
incident, it was called on to advertise
prices.' * : \u25a0 ;
President McKeon, it is alleged, re
ported this to the executive committee
of .the association, andt thereafter, rep
resentatives ';•\u25a0; of i the wholesaler houses
were summoned to ; a meeting; at : which
a boycott -of the. plaintiff .was^agreed
on. The retailers are alleged '\u25a0? to: have
told the wholesale dealers ::they A . would
not buy from them -unless they,' agreed
not to sell meat to ; Lesser \u25a0: Brothers.
What is called "a silent boycott" was
instituted,- the wholesale 'dealers 1 re
fusing to sell : to ; the ;, plaintinT t! on % the
piretextf that they had • sold out all their
supplies and quoting prohibitive 1 prices.
.Only two -wholesale houses fwillisell
meat to Lesser: Brothers, , and. it? it al
leged; the defendants threaten' to fcoerce
these . two' into : discontinuing I their \u25a0 sup
ply. . : Lesser Brothers \u25a0 claim 'they ; have

employed in Cereghino's saloon at 4375

Five marked half dollar pieces were
given to Policeman Tom Naylor, known
in the department as a clever mimic.
Policeman William T. Jones was given
the role of the tramp to play, and to
Policeman Higuera the part of a mes
senger was assigned.
\u25a0 Jones entered the saloon and called
for a drink. So perfect was his make
up that Beatchle demanded that he show
his money before serving the liquor.
At the appointed time Naylor called on
the telephone and, with the broadest
German accent informed Beatcnle tjmt
Joseph Erben was speaking "and that
he desired to make a bet on a horse.
Xaylor, impersonating: Erben, told,
Beatchle that he would send $2.50 to
the saloon by a messenger to be played
as directed. Everything 1 that Beatchle
said was noted by Jones, who was
standing at the bar. In a few minutes
Higuera. as the messenger, entered the
saloon and handed Beatchle the marked
money. The bet was entered by Beat
chle on his book and then the arrest
was made. Beatchle was startled when;. v
he saw the policemen's stars, but he.
gamely complimented the police on the
faultless operation of their trap.
