Twenty-six candidates have fully qual

first place and the extra hundred dollars
in spending money will begin in earn
tPt. a s all contestants will then be sup
pled ivith ballot box£s and coupons.
Every new candidate that enters the
contest comes with enthusiastic descrip
tions of what she will do and how she
hopes i-j win first place in the final count.
Miss Lulu O'Dea. the candidate from
the City of Paris, is one of the promis
ir.g ones, and with her father as her
manager she expects tb be on the top of
t!»e list. Miss ODea is a cousiu of
Bishop ODfea of Seattle.

Davis are now in all the Owl drug
stores, and every night the votes will
be placed in the official box in the
I'lielan building store. H. H. franham.
Miss Davis" manager in the contest,
sa id :
"With the. entire organization of. this
company working for Miss Davis, and
the host of personal friends and admir
ers voting, I have no fear that she will
not be at the top of the list before many
days."
Miss Julia E. Collonan, the St. Fran
<is candidate, does not believe that any
one will beat her in the race, and her
manager, James McCullough, shares her
liews.
"The baby of the family," as Miss
Gluck has been called, because she
really is the youngest girl in the contest,
being only Just past 17, was all smiles
last night, saying: "I have made it a
rule all my life to win what I go after
or die with the colors."
Mr. Wood of the firm of S. N. Wood,
who returned from Xew York yester
day, said the Portoia festival is the sub
ject of discussion everywhere in the
east. He had not heard of Miss Gluck
having entered the contest, but will now
take up tne fight for her in earnest.
The Working Girls' outing association
"officials say that coupons may be pur
chased at Portola headquarters and
mailed to the address of any contestant.
MEN EVICTING TENANT
ACCUSED OF BURGLARY
Case Is Promptly Dismissed in
the Police Court
Georjee Stephen, Michael Monahan
and Charles Thompson were arrested
Thursday evening by Sergeant Farrell,
acting Sergeant Fennell and Policeman
Curtis at 416 Grant avenue on a charge
of burglary, on complaint of S. Imura.
one of the tenants. The defendants
had entered Imura's rooms and were
removing his furniture and effects to
Jhe sidewalk.
In Police Judge Conlan's court yes
terday Mrs. S. B. Haight of 616 A Cen
tral avenue, Alameda, the owner of
( the building, testified that the tenants
had refused to pay any rent and she
l:ad employed the defendants to evict
.them.

marking that it was absurd in the cir
cumstances to charge the defendants
with burglary. Imura's remedy •was in

KEAENY STREET
g This morning, Saturday,, the formal opening of the great new store— •
the store that has been more than a year in preparation; that has been
builded wholly by San Francisco labor and capital; that .contains, with the
single exception of its steel frame, only materials of our own Golden State;
that has absorbed in its construction more than twelve thousand days of work
by San Francisco's most skilled mechanics; that has already become and will
hereafter be one of the show places of the new San Francisco, will be for-
mally opened to the public.
<J Architecturally, we believe "the. new Wiley B. Allen Building to be the
handsomest business home in this city. %n its massive^ interior simplicity, "in
its adaptability to our particular needs, in its comfortableness . for both the
public and our numerous employes, in its sanitation, its, airiness, spacious-
ness, healthfulness, and in its classic severity of decoration, it not only sur-
passes any store in San Francisco, but stands out asi the very highest
achievement in the United States when the specific purpose for which it has
been erected is taken into consideration. x -

hundred and thirty-two and one-half feet. ..''The -building, a Class A steel and
concrete structure, has six floors and basement and a' total floor space of
nearly one acre — more than eighty thousand square feet.
Adjoinifig the Wiley B. Allen Building on the west on Sutter street is the
White House, while our eastern neighbor is Sherman, Clay & Co., which
house also adjoins our Kearny street store on the north. ; Centered in our new
store will not only be the piano-selling district, of San Francisco, but as well
the talking machine headquarters of the city, our department on the Sutter
street side being the largest and most attractive, as -well as the- best stocked

the street, besides being in the midst of the shopping idistrict.
Q For nearly a year past several of the greatest factories in the East and the
most famous piano builders in the world have had in preparation in the art
departments of their factories especiajart creations in Grand and "Upright
pianos, which were built especially for our opening display .These have ar-
rived and /will =be^ Shown' for the first time/ today. The^ehtire'cbllection'com-

wrought Grand, one a dainty Upright, are in Circassian \valnut of period
of Louis XV, King of France— Louis the Magnificent, -he: was : - called, because

SCHOOL DIRECTOR
ARGUES FOR CLINIC
Thomas ,E. nayden •; Believes
That About One Person in
Four Has Tuberculosis
The statement by f School Director"
Thomas E. Hayden-that one person out
of every four has tuberculosis • in '\u25a0. some
form Or another ; was responsible for
an \ exciting moment i in the meeting of
the hospital and health committee of
the, supervisors yesterday.
The Polk street district association
was present to protest against' the new
tuberculosis clinic at Jackson and Lar-.
kin streets. ;The line of infected pa
tients going to and from the clinic, the
club said, was: dangerous: in view of
the school near 'by. \u25a0 Hayden,; although
a school director, argued for, the clinic
as a member of the Society for the Pre
vention and Cure, of Tuberculosis. VT
_ ! "It is \ impossible to ; eliminate all
sources of, infection,". Hayden declared,
"and "t whether , a, person becomes badly
diseased depends ;on j his phyisical con
dition. More than likely 25 per cent
of (be people in this room have, tu
berculosis In n nllght form."
. This brought Rev; Samuel Quickmire
of the First 'Methodist church to his
feet. He denied tuberculosis is
so fashionable.' by a /great : deal, but
said it would be. if clinics were allowed
to spring up in ; populous districts/ He
wished to protect the! children and the
members of the church. .
Chairman Payot then settled matters
by promising that a new ordinance
would be presented at the first meeting
of the board of supervisors.
THERE IS NO FAT JOB
FOR THOMAS F. ;REAGAN
Position of General Foreman Is
Declared Abolished
Thomas F. Reagan yesterday "lost a
fat position with the board of. works
for- which he had struggled a year In
the courts to gain. He qualified as
superintendent of stone pavements dur
ing the Mendell regime :under. the civil
service, but left this to become a Ruef-
Schmitz police commissioner.
When his term expired he sought to
regain his old job, which was held
under a different. title by Patrick Brod
erick. who evaded the civil service :by
temporary reappolntments fromnionth
to month. Yesterday Reagan's job of
general foreman in the street repair
department was abolished. . «
Last September, during his struggle
with the courts and; the civil service
commission, Reagan stated in print
that Commissioner Casey of the works
board met him. and said: v ;
"If you obtain this position through
process of law, I'll abolish it.'.' \u25a0
When President Day was asked why
Reagan's .position was abolished, , he
said: "This work can be ;done ; per
fectly well by Superintendent of Streets
Heath, saving an unnecessary, expense.
Besides, Reagan was not efficient." -
