MOVING DOWNTOWN THE rapid return of the lawyers and physicians to their old quarters in the burned district is regarded as one of the most important factors for the quick restoration of the retail section.; Nor is this the only reason why. their departure from their present locations is a matter of congratulation. Their coming down town means the release of several houses now used as offices, and which from now can be utilized -for homes. This is desirable, as there is a growing demand for domiciles, and it is almost impos sible to keep pace with the needs of the population. It also means that with the placing of several houses on the leasing list rentals must decrease. There were fears expressed that our professional men would be among the last to seek office accommodations in the downtown district. The contrary is proved to be the case, for both lawyers and doctors are showing a desire to get back into the heart of the city. .They have leased offices, in buildings well in advance of their completion, and considerable rivalry has been displayed in the se lection-of attractive quarters. Another proof of the opulence of San Francisco can be gained from the fact that professional men are taking a greater number of rooms, also larger, better equipped and more expensive. •Market street will be the home of the lawyer, and it is believed that the legal colony will be settled between Third and Fifth streets, They have established themselves in all the large buildings, arid it is said that when the great Phelan block is completed there will be a' rush to secure quarters there. The enormous building on the southwest corner of Market and Fourth streets has been constructed especially with a view to having lawyers as tenants, arid in this edi fice the law library will be located, which will naturally make at torneys desirous of having their offices in adjacent buildings. Geary, Post and Sutter streets prQmise, at the present time, to be patronized by medical men, and there are seVeral buildings which have been especially built for their use. With the establishment of the doctors and lawyers downtown merchants will be compelled to follow. Retail dealers will have to open stores in the vicinity of their offices to cater to the trade which is drawn by professional men. This alone will fix firmly the retail district. Undoubtedly there will be two shopping districts in San Francisco, for it is to be presumed that Van Ness avenue will for several years support branch stores. , .Already the once gloomy burned district is looking cheerful at night. The life, that once made San Francisco attractive to the stranger is rapidly returning. Lights appear in many buildings, there is a growing throng upon Market street, and the new San Francisco promises to be as gay as the one which was destroyed. UNCONSCIOUS DISCLOSURES BY THE REPTILE PRESS ONE of the unsuspected uses of the reptile press that. takes or ders from Patrick Calhoun is to make unconscious disclosure of the purposes and desires of the grafters. For instance, we find this in the Oakland Tribune : It is claimed that Mr. Langdon should be made his own successor be cause the graft crusade began during his term of office. The fact that Mr Langdon has had very little to do with tht graft prosecutions is studiously ignored. The fact that he has handed over the powers of l his office to private parties, whose servile instrument he has become, is assuredly not a recom mendation. That he is without character and fixed convictions and destitute of legal ability is notorious. That he has granted immunity, or rather allowed immunity to be granted in his name, to the boodlers he ostensibly set out to •prosecute is as undisputable.as it is scandalous. It is also self-evident that his office has been handed over to privately retained attorneys who direct all criminal proceedings and use the powers so obtained in an irregular manner for political purposes. Why, of course, dear, we understand that Mr. Calhoun does not like Langdon and it need not be doubted that this fine old south ern gentleman would be much pleased to see the little rascals pun ished while the big rogues were suffered to go free. In the mean time the reptile press serves a useful purpose by attacking Lang don. With such evidence to; the fore San Francisco will come very near making the vote for district attorney unanimous. ' DRY NURSE FOR VAGRANT ASIATICS nnHE pro-Japanese press of the east and the Ottawa officials find I Mayor Bethune of - Vancouver a hard nut to crack: The British ;JL ; Columbian mayor has been engaged on a snappy corresporid "ence by wire with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian, premier, concerned not with the Japanese; but with a shipload of Hindus which Vancouver had no special use for. The correspondence opened v\uth this dispatch: Nine hundred Hindus arriving today. Neither 'accommodation - nor employment for them. Shall we house them in drill; hall at Dominion gov ernment's expense? /. A. BETHUNE, mayor. \ Laurier thought he saw r his way to: put the mayor in a hole and came back with; : . I would understand from such request that these Hindus are paupers, therefore liable to deportation:, Minister of -interior "will send tomorrow spe-' cial officers to deal wfth the question. * ! This was a poser. The mayor had the Hindus searched .and they turned up something like $20,000 among the lot, so 'ißetnune took another tack : :• ' Hindus not ' paupers, but health officer declares, situation serious - from sanitary standpoint/ Drill hall only sanitary building available. Ai: BETHUNE, mayor.: • The mayor. is still resolved that the superfluous Hindus shall be shipped to Ottawa, or in the alternative that the Canadian '/gov ernment shall provide them with free quarters, but Vancouver still has the Asiatics, with more to come. -; . One expects hourly to hear that i Bethune is ,an " Anierican ; labor EDITORIAL PAGE agitator in disguise. In the meantime British Columbia does not relish her office of dry nurse for^i vagrant Asiatics.

The chief and distinguishing reason that has made the San Francisco- prosecutions notable in the eyes of theworld is the thorough fashion, iii which the source of has been attacked. 'In this regard 'San Francisco has set an example that the world has noted and will follow. Thus the Louisville Courier (Journal : Schmitz and hte crew did, a great deal of harm to San Francisco, but when the deccnt'citizens of the community he had plundered sent the mayor to the penitentiary' the net-results of his evil doing >yere more than counter balanced by his undoing.

In the San ' Francisco cases the pleading, figures among the accused are officials of , public" service corporations and poli ticians/ It is no easy job, to convict any of these grafters defended by the unscrupulous use of money to hire -lawyers, bullies, spies, gun fighters and kidnapers. ..' : California Clubwomen Urged by Eastern Sisters to Redouble Efforts in Several Lines of Work ALTHOUGH .eastern -visitors' and the eastern press are ; flattering irTi; their; ; comments . upon California = ! clubwomen -and the work they/ are doing, the prominent ..workers .in • the civic and social clubs are not sat lsfled and . complain that their work f is handicapped unnecessarily.- for. want! of understanding and # f or wantbf num- " bers.

They bring a little of the summer breezes over flowery- meadows and of -winds sough ing In 'the trees, a little whiff of the country/ that would spon be stifled in our;,brlckdust just as T.he still, small voice^of poetry would be drowned in the- clamorous din of labor did not tha artists skeep it alive. TJhe summer seen through -the artists' eyes will soon live again on the walls of the art „ exhibitions which are being planned for * the near future. The downtown haunts of- artists are be ginning to be • populated again, and some even have \u25a0 been courageous enough to plan for a return to the very heart of what was once the ar tist quarters of the city. 'During the summer ; even those who have been In the" city* have moved each In their own groove, busy .with the season's work, seeing little of fellow artists and escaping as often as possible into the country.; A reviving sociability Is one of the encouraging signs of the season. * But the' gathering of the scattered art colony does not manifest itself only, nor indeed chiefly, in studio tea 3. There are numerous exhibitions planned for the near future and tax ing all the resources of- the busy workers. The Bohemian club is the first to issue Invitations to the artists to contribute to a general exhibition to be held* in December. The club num bers. 25 artists among its members, among whom are Keith, Mathews, Mar tinez, Judson, Dickman, Dlxon. Cade nasso. Gamble, Neuhaus, and Indeed al most all California artists of note. The Bohemian club exhibition was an annual affair when the club was In Its glory, but has been discontinued since the fire, and.the present exhibition will be the first In three years. The new clubroom has excellent facilities "for viewing a large collection of paintings and no doubt Its members will cele brate- the establishment in the new quarters and the resuming of the old custom by making the exhibition as representative - as possible. Long' standing promises to contribute car toons or to replace those destroyed in the fire are being fulfilled, and it is said that the walls will soon blossom out in the old way. The Sketch club, though nothing definite has been planned, no doubt will follow its usual custom and have an ex hibition of trie works of its members. This "club was the first to rehabilitate after the fire, and last year extended the courtesy of its rooms to all the ar tists, men as well as women, who wished to exhibit with the club. "Whether this will be repeated this win ter or whether the club will confine it self to" the works of members when the time comes for holding an exhibition has not yet been decided. The Art association will hold its an nual exhibition of'water color and oil sketches according 1 to the 'custom that was followed in the old Mark Hopkins and which , will be continued by the present art Institute. All artists who wish to contribute are Invited to join in the exhibition, which probably will be held at the end of the'fa- term. An' interesting collection of posters is to be seen in the Art Institute. Many are cover j designs and Illustrations in color from — c German magazine "Ju gend," and are of a great varletyl Some beautiful German color prints are an object lesson in what may be produced by 'mechanical means in the service of art with* the patience and care and taste that the Germans bestow upon the subject.' They are print* from the orig inal drawings made by the artist on the stone and \u25a0 have in some cases the clearness and directness of the water cplor with the texture of the pastelle. Particularly' good in the warm, dull coloring : and the preservation of the sketchy character ofthe drawings, is a picture by A. Eckerner of some cot tages and a group of what we are ac customed-to calling Dutch windmills, though as a matter of, fact the scene is a German one. "The Mouth of the River," by : Carl Otto Matthaei is ' an other, which has a fine ' flatness of tone and "a 1 wonderful limpid simplicity. A scene from the coast of Capri by Heine Rath :is most happy in its brilliant treatment of the rocks and the rippling water. The pictures are probably as good an example of this kind of work As can be seen anywhere. • • • v The first meeting of the Sketch club, inaugurating the winter's work, .was held in the rooms at 1625 California street Friday . afternoon. A majority bers, the latter refusing to ; take them selves" seriously on any consideration. The third number, a poem, which Mrs. Cooper read, .produced a gale of laugh ter. \u25a0:'\u25a0 Mrs. Cooper first explained that the writer of the poem had enjoined absolute secrecy as to her. identity, so ; much so, said the president, , that shejwould not glance in her -direction while reading,:- for fear her' blushes would; betray her. She then demurely read 'c the title of the poem. .. "LJfe's jWay," whereupon Mrs. . M. M. Wagner ' rose hastily and corrected the title to •'Love's Way." to a sudden accompania inont of band clapping and laughter at her self-betrayal. - ; The program * was as follows, { inter spersed by, stories pertinent and imper tinent from all the members: .Piano solo,: "Moonlight on the Planta tion,". Mrs.' C.H. Smith: recitation. Miss Walpers;poem,:."Liove'« Way," Mrs. M. M. Wagner (read by Mrs. Cooper); songs,. Mrs. R. Rewalk; paper, : fVaca tlon.", Mrs. C. H. Smith ; songs, ; Mrs. M.

Mrs. Lucia Mathew*. presided. Arthur Mathews gave a tallc on mural painting, with Puvls de Cha vannes as an example. He spoke of the importance of,: making tho Ceco ratlve art harmonious with itself an.l with its surroundings. A picture. whether a mural decoration or not, should be a unit so that its component parts did not fall ; to pieces, he said, and in. case of a decoration It was necessary that^it should form a har monious unit with the scheme of thf» house in which it was to be placed, so that it did not fall out of the gen eral scheme. The thorough familiarity of the speaker with his subject with. the pithy language in which h» couched his original thought com bined to make a talk of unusual In terest. The women of tha Sketch club feel in continuing the study of mu nicipal art that they are devoting their energies to a subject that is particu -A larly pertinent now and that they ma)l contribute to the artistic rebuilding oC the city. •* • • Peixotto's exhibition will continue at; Vickery'a: until Thursday of this week. It has, attracted many admirers of PeixottQ's art and won him many ad herents among those who were not familiar with his work. , The artist will leave for the east in October in. time to arrange for hi 3 exhibition In Chicago. The paintings from Carmel will be completed in time to be in cluded in it. He also has received an invitation to exhibit In St. Louis.
