The Planters Association has offered
the position now held by William Hay

Court Justice T. M. Hatch.
Mr. Hatch has accepted and will en

It was impossible to get definite rea

was seen yesterday, but that gentle
man felt at liberty to say that Mr.

suffered considerably of late from

Teporter's modest story of the achievement.
Charley Moore's gambling establishment on King street, which was photo
graphed from the outside a few weeks ago by an Advertiser artist, showing the
grated windows, is a perfect' citadel of strength against forcible entrance, when
-viewed from the inside. The interior is a mass cf bolts, heavy timbers against
doors and windows, and ingeniously placed trap doors.
Judge Whitney, of the police court, in dismissing the action against Moore,
.Apoliana and Hirano, said he believed that Moore was guilty of conducting a
.gambling resart at the King street place, and an investigation of the interior
.-shows conclusively that Judge Whitney was correct.

Each door is guarded by a bar or wood swinging on pivots and f ailing into

anv ouestion of the credibility of the

Neverthe'ess, it is impossible to avoid
the necessity now and then of a court

to know how to detail a court for the

The Pacific Mail's annual report, which has just been issued, is a good.
commentary on the increased business of the port of San Francisco. The com
pany's fiscal year ends on April 30th of each year. For its last fiscal year the
company had gross earnings of $5,775,783. This is an increase of $2,174,017
over the year before, when the gross receipts were $3,601,000. Expenws foe
the year were $4,430,771, leaving a balance of $1,295,012. Out of the latter
there was deducted $496,000 for depreciation and general and extraordinary
repairs of steamships and $371,000 for the lease of new piers in San Francisco.
There was left, therefore, a surplus for the year amounting to $427,56. Thi
is an increase of $180,760 over the year before.
The company's fleet includes sixteen steamships owned and others leased.
With the exception of $617,000 owed the Southern Pacific for advances, the
company had at the close of the year only $201,000 of current debts as against
$350,000 of cash and other available assets.
The reports dwell favorably upon the two new piers being built at 8aa
