FIGHT PROMOTERS
FACE ADVERSE
LEGISLATION
R. A. Smyth
The promoters of boxing: in this city
axe face to face with tlje problem of
advorsc legislation which will be pre
sented at Sacramento for the considera- |
tion of the lawmakers. While some
p«-or>l«> smiled at the idea of Senator !
Gu? Hartman being behind any move
ment which had for its object the kill
ing: off of boxing, he has taken a firm
stand In the matter and will present
the measure.
William C. Ralston, who made such a
strong fight to stop boxing at the last
session, is not a member this year, but
he has shown that he has not lost in
terest In his pet measure, as he is on
the ground and is using his Influence
1n the matter. Hartman desires what
ever credit will attach to the passing
of the measure and does not want to
thare the honor with any one.
Hartman is not standing on high
moral grounds In the matter, as he is
nn«> of the most devoted fight cranks
in the city. Back of 'his present atti
tude against the (tame is a little per
sonal grievance. He has not been re
ceiving the consideration at the hands
of the promoters of this city which he
considers his due. and his present atti
tude Is In reprisal.
The promoters are not as strongly
Intrenched as they were at the last
session of the Legislature, and they are
hardly In a position to make an organ
lied fight. They will send a representa
tive to Sacramento, but he will be for
tified with nothing stronger than hon
eyed words to bring the legislators to
his way of thinking. The quarrels of
the fight trust were so thoroughly aired
that a sentiment has been created
against boxing, and It Is a Question how
far reaching this is. The country leg
islators have few opportunities to wit
ness boxing matches, as the game Is
confined almost entirely to the large
; cities. It Is thus easy to convince them
that some restrictive legislation Is de
sirable, and the only question is how
' far they will go. Los Angeles and this
city are the recognised light centers.
• • •
While the outlook for boxing at Sac
ramento looks dark, the promoters are
going on with their preparations to
handle bouts as though they had no
thought of adverse legislation. Morris
Levy is trying to make a match so that
if everything ends satisfactorily he will
have his arrangements well In hand.
The match he wishes to make Is be
' tween Dick Hyland and Cyclone Thomp
son. This is the same brace of boxers
the club at Marysvllle Is trying to
bring together.
Dick Hyland has returned to this city
from Denver, owing to the illness of a
member of his family. He has ex
pressed his willingness to meet Thomp
son and Levy Is in communication with
the latter by wire. The lightweights
have met twice and each time have put
up an exciting bout. Both are aggres
elve fighters who pay but little atten
tion to the finer arts of boxing. Each
has expressed a desire for still another
match, apparently thinking he can
score a decisive victory.
• • •
Marvin Hart, the Kentucky heavy
weight boxer, has asked Alex Greg
gains to get him a match either here or
in Los Angeles. He is particularly
anxious for another meeting with Tom
my Burns and says he \u25a0will give Burns
the winner's end of the purse if he
does not stop him before the twenty
rounds are covered. Hart would make
a good opponent for Al Kaufmann, as
both are big fellows and what they
lack in speed they make up In aggres-
Jimmy Britt left here yesterday for
Byron Springs with Manager Jim Cof
' Jroth for a stay of five days.
Jack Cribblns, who represents Phila
delphia Jack O'Brien on this coast, re
ceived a cable from James Lowes of the
National Sporting Club of London yes
terday, asking for a match for Gunner
Molr. This is the first Intimation the
latter has given that he would come
to this country. He is of the Sayers
type of fighter, short and stocky, and
depends more upon his strength and
his ability to withstand punishment
than he does upon his skill as a boxer.
O'Brien is due from Nevada today,
when the matter will be submitted to
him by Cribblns. The promoters are
anxious for an International match.
and this seems one which it would be
easy to make.
RIORDAN DEFEATS
CHESTER IN TWO
ROUNDS
Harry Chester \u25a0was substituted for i
Joe Lone: to box Tad Riordan, the
ligrht heavy-weight, last night at
'Dreamland Rink before the Central
• Club. Chester was no match for th«
! light-haired boxer and In the second
round, after going to the carpet twice.'
|Referee Foley stopped the contest and
<saved Chester from further punishment
by declaring Riordan tbe winner.
After fighting for about two min- '
'Utes, Eddie Kehoe and Tommy Burns
iwere ordered out of the ring for sus
picious fighting and Manager Harry
JLeap gave the crowd a run for its
imoney by putting on Charley Riley and
[Henry Williams as substitutes. This"
*proved the best bout of the evening.
(Williams was a new man to the crowd
.and he surprised everybody by giving
|Rliey a tough fight. In the second
round he put Rlley to the mat and It
looked bad for the latter. The tide
seesawed until the finish. It was de
clareS a draw, which was a popular
decision.
Kyle Whitney had a shade on Mike
McClure, but the best the colored boxer
got was a draw. Al Emmick was too
f#st for Henry Jones and earned the
'verdict. Eddie Lovejoy lost the de
cision to Jim Brennan. Eddie Derby
'easily outpointed Jim Barris.
TXDORSE CAME OF RUGBY
STAATORD UNIVERSITY. Jan. 11.—
From the Seattle Stanford alumni
comes the first echo of the recent visit
of the Cardinal Rugby team into Can
ada and the Puget Sound country. The
alumni in the northern city, through an
open letter written by J. F. English, a
well-known member of the class of
1901, give their commendation to
Rugby and declare thaf In their opin
ion "it is far more interesting from
rtart to finish than the old game." The
Stanford team played an exhibition
match with the University of Victoria
in Seattle and it is from that gamo
that the Seattle men formed their opin
ion.

Rebuilding of the City
Proceeds Swiftly
THE rrbnUdlDjp of San Francisco's burned district has exceeded the
*n<»«t sangrntne expectations, and It is aaserted that one-tnird of
the devastated area Is> covered again. The southeastern and north
ern district* are compactly covered. An extraordinary spectacle of
activity la presented from the tops of tall buildings. - -
Assertion Is Made That One-Third of
Burned Area Is Covered Already
The rebuilding of the burned district
has far exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of realty men, and it is as
serted that one-third of the area that
was destroyed by fire is already under
rooL A view of the city from the
top of either the Flood building or the
Union Trust Bank presents an extra
ordinary spectacle of activity. The
portion of the city to tbe southeast
seems to be completely built up, while
the northern end is bo compactly cov
ered with houses that it seems as If it
had never been ravaged by fire.
All North Beach from Broadway
north is building up better than it was
before the fire, and when the work of
construction is brought to a close it
will be found that this district will
have more houses than before April 18
of last year. The district from McAl
lister and Larkln streets, along McAl
lister to Van Ness avenue, and the cor
responding streets north to Turk, and
from Polk to Van Ness north up to
Sacramento, is all solidly built up.
Then along Polk from Clay street to
Franklin it is well built up. Polk
straight out to Lombard is lined with
houses, and the outer end of Polk
street to the beach is rehabilitated.
In the Mission the rebuilding has
been Just as active, Valencia and
Guerrero streets from Market out to
Twentieth are more closely built since
the fire, and this is also noticeable In
the small streets.
Second, Third and Fourth streets are
a compact mass of houses. On-Rlncon
Hill apartment and lodging houses are
being built, and it would not be sur
prising if that part of town again rose
into favor as a residence district. Haw
thorne, Essex and kindred streets, which
once sheltered the old and rich fami
lies, are all being rebuilt more solidly
than they were In their palmy days.
This shows that fully one-third of the
burned area Is under roof.
RICHMOND AND SORTH BEACH
Real estate men are unanimously of
the opinion that the best property fn
the city today Is at Richmond and
North Beach- By this ia meant that
there is more building going on in
these two sections than in any other
part of San Francisco. Richmond is
finding favor especially with that class
of people who ara bent on having small
homes, and are purchasing with the
view of building and not from any de
sire to Indulge In speculation. The
spirit of speculation is strong with
North Beach property.
There is considerable curiosity as to
the intents and the purposes of the
railroads. There is a belief that the
railroad people will put in a ferry ser
vice at the north end. and that will
build up business on the beach.
A movement which has been started
within the last few days by the mer
chants of Van Ness avenue to keep
business on that thoroughfare Is said
to be growing stronger dally. The
retail merchants, it is asserted, have
formed an association of their own.
the purpose of which is to stand to
gether and fight the combine of down
town owners who persist in asking
higher rents in the downtown district
than they did before the fire. It Is
reported that when a real estate man
looks up any retail merchant in
Van Ness avenue and tries to get him
to go downtown, his remarks and the
rent he asks are fully reported to the
association, and the question of rent
Is decided by the merchant and not by
the owner of the building. The mer
chants say they are willing to pay an
equitable rent, but the prices asked are
all out of reason. They declare that
if they hold together and refuse to
listen to any proposition which does
not come within the price they have
determined upon, they will win out,
and the downtown owner will finally
realize that he will have to come down
in his rents.
A well-known banker. In discussing
the situation, said: "It is not reason
able to ask a higher rent now than
before the fire. I think the owners are
making a grave mistake. I am as
sured that the merchants Intend to
stand firm in their refusal to pay what
they consider exorbitant rentals, and
they can hardly be blamed. The con
dition of our streets, the difficulty of
getting about, and then the disinclina
tion of people to shop in uncomfortable
surroundings eftould all be taken into
consideration by the owners."
It la reported that the owners of the
site on which the convent stood, at the
corner of Ellis and Taylor streets,
have offered it to Raphael Welll for
the White House. It is not believed
that tbe proposition has been con
sidered by him.
outside: laxds
There has been a revival of leases In
tbe Mission since the beginning of the
year between Sixteenth and Twenty
fourth streets. The demand Is princi
pally for stores. Leases are active
also in Richmond, but tbe inquiry is
for flats from Sixth and Seventh ave
nues west. Property In Richmond, on
the north side, and north of Point
Lobos road, west, is commanding good
prices. Lyon &. Hoag are opening up
the H. S. Bickell tract, which embraces
several blocks to the west of tv« Pre
sidio. The land commands a superb
view and will undoubtedly prove a
very attractive residence quarter.
G. H. Umbsen, who represents the
Parkside people, reports that the steel
rails have been received for the rail
road that will start at Nineteenth ave
nue and H street. It will run over the
Nineteenth avenue boulevard south to
T street, then west to Thlrty-nfth ave
nue, then south -on Thirty-fifth avenue
to W street, then east on W street to
Ingleslde. The Parkside people -will
turn over the railroad when completed
to tbe United Railroads in considera
tion of a through car out to Parkside.
It is said that it will be a forty-minute
service. This company gave a bonus
of $80,000 to the Spring Valley people
to put in mains and a similar amount
to the gas company, and electric light
poles are now being planted to light
up tbe tract. The streets are to be
well built and lined with ornamental
trees.
Complaints are being made by, the
patrons of the Larkln -Polk street line
as to tbe condition of Polk and Lom
bard streets. It is said that people
prefer to trave^on the California-street
line to Lombard rather than to take
the risk of breaking a limb by getting
off at Polk and Lombard streets. There
are no lights at that corner. The
United Railroads has torn up the street
and has not put it into condition again.
The understanding was that It was in
cumbent upon. the United Railroads to
attend to the-llghting and. the repair
of the street.; The road has been run
ning, for about one month and yet the
railroad people have' made no effort
to light the street or improve it.
SCBTRBASURY SITE
Edgar Painter is in the el ty of Wash
ington working hard to have the new
eubtreasury building erected In' Mont
\
THE- : :SANv-F^NCJS^
gomery street A strong lobby has
been formed, it is alleged, headed by
F. B. Anderson, the well-known bank
er, to have the Government purchase
the site of the old Stock Exchange in
Pine street and known as the Leaven
tritt property. The owners in Mont
gomery street are naturally desirous of
seeing the subtreasury built on that
thoroughfare. It is said that the sum
of $300,000 has been appropriated for
the purchase of a site and the Mont
gomery street, owners advocate the
Government buying 125 feet on Mont
gomery street from Merchant to' Clay.
In a private letter which was received
yesterday from Painter he spoke of the
strong opposition that was showing
Itself to the proposition to build in
Montgomery street
bio APAirrarEvr house
H. H. Larscn will build shortly a five
story apartment house on the north
east corner of Bush and Powell streets,
68:6x67:6, which will cost $80,000. Sut
ton & Weeks are the architects. The
house has-been leased by the Watson
Realty Company to Francis W. Smith,
formerly of the Hotel Cumberland on
Bush and Leavenworth streets, for ten
years. The contracts have all .been let
for the construction and the work is
well under way. Larsen expects to have
the house completed by the first of
April, 1907.
-Spanish renaissance Is the architec
tural style adopted for the building. Its
first story is to be. of rough dark and
light red brick; the upper walls of
rough cast plaster, with red brick
quoins and window trim; the cornice
of heavy wooden beams, capped with
terra cotta tile. The entrance will be
elaborately decorated in terra cotta of
a cream color. Numerous i iron bal
conies in green will help to give the
Spanish character to the design.
The vestibule will be of colored mar
ble and the entrance hall will have
rich columns and richly decorated cor
nices in the style of the exterior. The
interior arrangement will be that of
the most modern apartment house
type. A large court will be a feature
and furnish light to the inside rooms,
so that the building will have' a solid
brick wall between it and the adjoin
ing properties, thus insuring it against
fire.
V,; AX E\ORMOUS FACTORY
The California Fruit Canners' Asso
ciation is building an enormous brick
factory and warehouse to cover the
entire block, 275x412, bounded •by
Beach, Leavenworth, ' Jefferson and
Hyde streets, and will represent, when
completed with its equipment, an In
vestment of half a million dollars.
The plans are by and the construc
tion is under the supervision of Philip
L. Bush, the association's engineer.
These buildings, with the canning
department proper, the specialty de
partment and warehouse, will have' a
floor space of 300,000 square feet and
a train of fourteen cars may be taken
care of inside the structure. During
the height of the season some 1500 men
and women will be employed, the ca
pacity of the plant being 250,000 cans
per' day. The canning season proper
will commence with asparagus in
March, running through the full line
of vegetables, into fruits, and finally
closing with tomatoes and pumpkins
the latter part of November. The spe
cialty department with its output of
catsup, jelly, preserves and soups, will
operate .every month in the year.

Company and the steam tug Sea Rover,
to recover $23,086 for the loss of a
dredge and two barges in f the Pacific

The action grows out of the strand

breaking of the hawser between the
tug and the dredge and the subsequent
abandonment by the tug of Its. tow, as

M'CAREY INVITES
JOE BOWKER TO
VISIT COAST
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
LOS AXGELES. Jan. 11. — There is
more than a probability that Joe 80-w
ker, champion feather- weight of Eng
land, will be induced to come here and
meet either the winner of. the Attell-
Baker fight of next Friday night or
some other feather-weight who may de
sire to try conclusions with him. Bow
ker wrote here some time ago inquiring
as to the chances of securing a match,
here and Tom AxcCarey answered in
forming him that there is more than
an opening here for him. Liberal terms
as to transportation charges, expense
and training costs have been made to
him, and the suggestion has been ad
vanced that by coming here and meet
ing either Attell or Baker (whoever
wins their bout) there will enter into
the contest the title to feather-weight
championship of the world.
If Bowker comes to Los Angeles h»
probably will be accompanied by Owen
Moran, the champion bantam-weight of
England. A match will be arranged
for Frankje Neil or Tommy Walsh with
Moran. Nell claims the bantam-weight
championship, and he must flght to de
fend it shortly or it will fall into dis
use. McCarey has not made Moran an
offer, but it Is thought that he will
come with Bowker to assist him in his
training. If so. ago between him and
Neil or Walsh would prove a good card.
Meantime, it only remains with Bow
ker to accept the terms offered him
practically to bind the match with At
tell or Baker, as both men have signi
fied their willingness to flght the Eng
lishman.
TO CONTROL SPEED
OF AUTOMOBILES
The Boards of Police and Fire Com
missioners are going to take a hand
in the regulation of the automobile
traffic In this city. Orders hare been
Issued to every police officer who has
m.:.de an arrest to make a detailed re
port of the same, which will be filed
with the Commissioners for futura
reference. In event the chauffeur ha 9
been at fault new licenses will not be
issued to him.
For many months there has been
little control of the speed of auto
mobiles within the city limits. The
punishments meted out by the police
courts have been inadequate and have
not, exerted a restraining influence.
The Commissioners believe that it is
entirely within lueir province to t&ks
a hand In regulating the speed of
automobiles by taking away from th«
chauffeurs their license in event of
their conviction of violating the speed
limit.
The accident which befell Captain
Norman of the Police Department on
Van Ness avenue, when he was Just
about to take a car, has given im
petus to the members of the board in '
dealing with the .question of excessive
speed. It is thought that the taking:
away of the license of the chauffeurs
will do more to restrain reckless driv
ing than all of the police fines to
gether.
