CEMENT WAR WAGED
FOR THE BUSINESS
OF SAN FRANCISCO
Standard Portland Company
Proposes to Grapple
With "Trust"
CAPITAL IS DOUBLED
Intends to Begin Manufac
ture of Material Badly
Needed for Building
Indications that a cement" war. has
broken out among the biggest manufac
turers in the. State, with- the business of
San Francisco as the. bone of conten
tion,' have been numerous during the
past few days, and a belligerent move
ment was made in the .open yesterday
when the. Standard Portland Cement
Company, known as the "Cement Trust."
increased the capital of its California
corporation from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.
This is believed "to be the result'of the
activity of the Henry Cowell Lime and
Cement. Company, which recently closed
a contract with the Allis-Chalmers Com
pany-of Milwaukee for all the. cement
machinery and electrical equipment nec
essary : for a complete ;modern. cement
mill of great capacity. Thiscompany
heretofore has manufactured lime only,
but now intends .to take in the cement
business, which affords unbounded 'pos- 1
sibilitles In this city. Hundreds of high
class' buildings in 1 which concrete vis
largely used^are being erected -and the
work is being delayed by the scarcity
of cement. Those who - are best ac
quainted with conditions do not look for
serious cutting of prices because of the
fact that the future products of the Cal
ifornia plants have -already been Bold
far in advance of their manufacture. . ;
The incorporation of the Standard
Company yesterday was conducted by
Garret McEnerney, who said that, the
move meant simply the forming of j a
new; corporation to take . over .the old
one, by giving the stockholders two
shares of the new for one of the old.
The Increase of $2,000,000 in the capital
was made necessary by the proposed
extension of operations.
For more than a year a new plant,
with a capacity of 6000 barrels a day,
has been in. course of construction \at
Santa Cruz, and it is expected that this
will be running full blast within sixty
days. But the great- demand for ce
ment has prompted the officials of the
company to begin at once increasing
the capacity 6000 barrels a day more,
and this requires a great outlay
money. ,
The personnel of .the directory and
management of the company will rfot
be changed. In the articles filed yes
terday James ,E. Robison).* Walter
Rothschild, Thomas D. Davidson,. Jo
seph H. Mayer and Andrew F. Burke
were named as incorporators. The
company seeks the right to manufac
ture cement, operate quarries, acquire
water rights, lease vessels and sell elec
tric power.

CONTRACT LAW APPLIED
TO AMERICAN WORKMEN
Court in British Columbia
Decides Case Involving
Alien Labor
VANCOUVER, Feb. 23.— An adver
tisement offering Americans work in
British Columbia, with the additional
encouragement of prepaying •transporr
tatlon, is a "contract,", within the
meaning of the Canadian alien labor
act and therefore a violation both of its
spirit and its letter. This is the effect
of Justice Morrison's decision in the
Important and far reaching case against
the Mundy Lumber Company. -
As one of the results of. the decision
the Pennsylvania company must forth
with pay $200 to Richard Nichol, a
high-priced man, who was ousted when
one named Slack of Bradford, Perm.,
came with a half dozen other unskilled
laborers to this company's mills and
proceeded to work for less pay.: . This
was the only fine, though the court had
power to asess $1000 and costs.'

Students to Support
New Management of
Cooper College
Junius Brutus Harrises
Elected President of
the Classsmen
.: Junius , Brutus Haris, a, tall, -red
headed, slender young man who grad
uated'from^ the Sacramento High School
and Is a' member of the junior class v of
Cooper. Medical -College, has been elect
ed president' of the student body of the
last-named. Institution. His election
niay: have .a ; bearing upon the.- course
of. the storm \ following the removal of
Dr. Elllnwood : f rom the presidency of
the college's: directorate .and. 'faculty, -
. -Ethics,- sacred vto the medical : fra-~
temity and part of the education of the
future .physician, seem, to seal' the dips
of Harris in? regard -to the controversy
concerning Dr - EllinwoodV, ; personal
appropriation /of thejbequest supposed
to have \ been left for college \u25a0 benefits.
The silence of. Harris may be attributed
to, the fact. thjat* Lathrop ; Ellinwood,
son of the 'deposed president and; bene
ficiary under Mrs. Lane's .will,, is. a pop
ular member of the Junior class, from
which Harris was elevated to the presi
dency of . the \u25a0 student body.
In ; reality, the politics of the 110
Cooper students resolved into .a three
cornered fight, -but at the finish devel
oped into a combat between the ;*'f rats"
and "non-frats." In spite of his Greek
name, Harris was not a member of the
Greek letter societies, and the non
frats won.' . \u25a0 .
After t ;.hls -election Harris had. two
important statements to make. One
that:
"We all realize that a crisis; In the
affairs of the- college has .come'and
most of the students favor; affiliation
with Stanford." v \u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0"/
The ootherr r that;---- — «. — .-.--.
'. "The students have entire confidence
in' the ..management now '_ In .control of
the college." ;;. ; ' .:,•".'.
\ Followed ;to their conclusion, the
statements of Harris^ mean that the
students will support Dr. Taylor in his
position of acting president of Cooper
College and Dr. Gibbons as president
of the faculty, and that, in their posi
tions on the directorate, the students
will be back of the .plan to make
Cooper . College and Lane Hospital a
part of Stanford University. . ',

\u25a0 ti-The' investigation '.by .the Grand; Jury
into, the theater buildings^ has revealed
an : amazing -system by which the' city
statutes have been, violated., i After the
Ifbquois fire in Chicagorin which near
ly.; 1000, ( persbns were" burned to death,
the local ; : laws 'affecting \u25a0 theater con
struction were made more rigid. After
the \ April-" disaster .the statutes were
further amended and in' their new form
required that every ; playhouse be a
class "*A_ building. ':\u25a0 jln order. ' to' permit
the erection! of playhouses.'

mits,': the; i Intention . ? being that these

tir'permanent'playhouses could be con
structed.' .-\u25a0; ? .. -:" \u25a0
Several: theaters of flimsy construc
tion were erected under . special . permits
f rom the Mayor's office, but now that a
number* of playhouses, which conform
to the ordinances have .been opened , a
demand has: been made on the Board of
Works that the lire traps'' be closed. The
board offers. 'as^an: excuse for inaction,
that 'it never authorized; these wooden
theaters and therefore has 11 no Jurlsdlc-'
tion. : It is the 'endeavor of -'the Grand
Jury to fix the blame for this, condition
of affairs and tg/ correct the evil. i[

flimsy theaters, are' negotiating for leg
