16 RESENT TURNING OF PICTURES OF FORMER RULERS OF GERMANY Members of Krieger Verein on Warpath for Men DONE IN LODGEROOM French Odd Fellows Believed to Have Made Old Foes Face the Wall Members of the Deutscher Krleger \crcin are on the warpath and threaten woe to the men who turned the pic lures of Wilhelm I.* Frederick II and Wlllielni II to the wall of the hall in t!i© Re.i Men's building. 240 Golden Gate avenue, which the German vete rans share with a lodge of French Odd Fallows. Not only is the reversing of those pictures deemed a desecration of the whole German imperial dynasty. but it is also considered a personal af front by the veterans, many of whom fought In the ware which brought united Germany out of a chaos of principalities and kingdoms. These warriors, who smelled powdor ' q.t Sedan and camped at the gates of Paris, openly charge that the French Odd Fellows are responsible and allege that they laid hands on these choice possessions of the Krleger vereln to put this slight upon rulers of the fatherland. The portraits are held al most sacred by the veterans, as they w«»r*» presented to them by the present kaiser as a mark of his especial re curd for the men who fought to make him emperor. When the pictures, \u25a0which are finely executed steel pn {rravlngs, arrived. permission was asked to hani? them on the lodgeroom wall where they would be safe from molestation- :_:: _: TZK AROUSE BESEXT.ME>T They were not. The first Wednesday In each month the lodgerooms used by the Krieger verein Is occupied by French Odd Fellows. Entering: upon the work of the lodge immediately, the <-*-remonlee were half over before the additions to the framed charters and other pictures were spied. One French man focused the attention of his neigh bor upon them, and soon every mem ber of the lodge \u25a0was sending bitter e lances at the presentations of what ivas most hateful to them. Many of the v»Jd Fellows had gone through the war in which Alsace and Lorraine were iaken by the enemy. Must, then, the Frtrschrnen meet under the very eyes of their conquerors, those who 'had two fair provinces from them? Not so. For as soon as the lodge was closed the center of the floor -was i a ken by 20 speakers, each advocating ••omethlng more dire than his fellow orators and all intent on putting the l-ictures out of s'grht. Bitter memo ries of the woe the vanquished sus tained came welling- to the French mtn't minds and tears rolled down many cheeks as one veteran recounted the hardships he had suffered. "^ was in Parl6 when he (pointing to the grim visage of Wilhelm I) sat <iown before our gates. I ate horses — »=uch tougrh. old horses — and when the Worses failed, ate rats; also my patent leather boots. Never shall I forget i !:ose boots, and here I find a man who made a rat catcher and a boot eater staring at me in my lodge. What shall we do?" and he wept In memory of the days of siege. TCRXED TOWiHD THE WALL Others •were moved to tears and rone (officially) saw two agile mem tiers of the lodge who mounted chairs r.nd turned the whole Hohenzollern dynasty with its face toward the wall. Strangely, a burst of applause that *hook the walls burst forth, and smiles \u25a0broke through the gloom that had srlowered upon the faces of the French men. None of the lodge members knows anything about the picture turning (officially), but the Uhlan j=eouts of the Krieger verein are out and will solve the mystery, they say, apprehend the culprits and take re venge—what r«venge has not yet been «t:ggcsted; at least nothing bad enough has come to mind. "When it does." say the Kriegers, "then let the French men look out." The siege of Paris will not be a patch to th« horrible atrocl lies that will be accorded the guilty if they can be found. As the whole affair occurred within the walls of th« lodge, when the sub ject Is mentioned to the Frenchmen guilty looks are seen, followed by a self-satisfied smile, and with a shoul der shru£ a general denial Is entered. What will be done with the pictures has not yet been decided by the Krie ger verein- It meets before the Odd Fellows, and measures to protect the imperial steel engravings will then be saken.

BUSINESS MEN PLAN TRAFFIC BUREAU TO CONTROL COMMERCE Promoters Will Meet in Mer chants' Exchange to Perfect Details TO PROTECT SHIPPERS Encroachments of Rival Cities on Trade Territory to Be Combated? A truffle bureau.. barked by practic ally all the businessmen of San Fran cisco, may be launched at a meeting: to be beld next Monday In tbe Merchants' exchange building-. Such is the present Intention. Tbe purpose* of this traffic bureau will be manifold. Through It the In terests of every shipper of manufac tured jcooilh or r«»r material will be furthered. Car Hliortagea vrlll be ob viated, so far ns poMslble ( freight trill be routed by the shortest connecting: llnrK, and lower rates trill be contended for. The trade territory of San Fran cisco will be protected against en croachments by merchants of other sections and in addition to all this the traffic bureau will stand as a watch dog to point out any way in which the trade bed of the city can be extended. This bureau, if the present plans are carried through to perfection, will have the services ,of one of the foremost traffic managers of the United .States, who has not been engaged, but who will be secured if money can buy his services and a contract can hold out an inducement. This was decided upon yesterday. Representatives of the Merchants' ex change, chamber of commerce, board of trade of San Francisco, Merchants' association. Manufacturers' and Produ cers' association of California and the Ship Owners' association conferred, co.n sidered a plan which has been tenta tively prepared, expressed their ap proval of the idea and their willingness to co-operate and retired to secure the indorsement by their respective boards of trustees and directors. If favorable action Is secured * there will bo no hitch in the proceedings next Monday. A constitution and. bylaws, in which the aims and purposes and obligations of the traffic bureau and of those who are to back it are explained, have been prepared and are In the custody of T. C. Friedlander, secretary of tha Mer chants' exchange. Those who are concerned in the move say that there will be no lack of money. They also say that the time has ar rived when, by reason of the encroach ment of rival cities on the coast and in the east upon the trade territory of this city, San Francisco must act decisively and unitedly or be a large loser. - All the conferences that have taken place have . but strengthened tne con victions of those In tbe lead that the time is one of trade- emergency.. The present plan is to have the traffic bu reau attached to the Merchants' "ex change, and situated in the Merchants' exchange building. The support will be derived from stated contributions from possibly 2,000 business houses of this city, which will subscribe to pay so much each a month, according to their business transacted or willingness to help to build up the city In a trade way. - -' : T : %:, The Merchants' exchange and the chamber of commerce simultaneously decided, through their executive bodies, that a traffic bureau should be insti tuted. On consultation the chamber of commerce representatives partic ularly decided to co-operate with the Merchants' exchange.. All the commer cial bodies then- were called Into con ference. In the last fortnight rapid progress has been made. Inquiry has been set on foot concerning the quali fications of trafficmen and of their willingness to come to San Francisco to head and conduct a great fight for the welfare of all commercial interests in this city. The exact plan of the organization is not given out in express terms, but is outlined generally by some of those who were present at meetings that have been held. W. L. Gerstle, chairman of th« "com mittee-representing the ' chamber of commerce, said last evening: .. "The Merchants' exchange will or- ! ganiee a traffic bureau next Monday. All the committees that havo assem bled, representing commercial organ izations, have expressed their approval of the general plan. If. their trustees and directors approve, which is, I think, probable, the scheme will hare practic ally the united, backing of commercial San Francisco. Each organization will report Its decision in this regard next Monday, when, a meeting will be held. A traffic manager, the best that can be engaged, wlll.be selected to head the bureau. It is necessary to have the bfßt. for the interests at stake are large and no one but a man of large experience, knowledge, and skill will do. He will have not only, freight problems, but also passenger matters to deal witiu "We need to act to meet the moves of Los Angeles, the cities of the states north of us and all comers in fact, who are striving to get our trade territory. This will not be., enough. We need also to hold what we have and to reach out . as aggressively . and extensively ais we can for, more." President C H. Bentley of the cham ber of commerce said that correspond enoe had begun to find out who was the best man for traffic manager.* CT, ATMS EXECUTOR'S FEE Robert F.
