MILLION DOLLARS
FOR RELEASE LOT
Big Sum Paid for Property in
Stockton Street North
of Ellis
Two transactions were reported yes
terday by Speck. Paschel & Co. as con
summated by them, in which the con
sideration aggregated $1,115,200. The
first is a lease running 50 years, in
which the sum of $1,021,200 represents
the total rental for the term. The
second is a sale representing a pur
chase price of $94,000. To both trans
actions more than usual interest at
taches, on account of the significance
of the moves fully as much as because
of the large sums involved.
LEASED FOR FIFTY YEARS
The lease for $1,021,200 is of the lot
upon the west line of Stockton street,
65 feet north of Ellis, size 72:6 x
90 feet, improved by some temporary
buildings that will be removed. Pend
ing -expiration of an old lease the new
lease is not effective until August 15,
1910. It then runs for 50 years, namely,
up to August 15, 1960. As soon as the
old lease runs out the new lessees will
construct on the land a class A build
ing. The lease is made for the Hoff
man investment company to the Horn
lein investment company. The Horn
lein company consists of Hugo A.
Hornlein, J. A. Krumb, Charles Wright
and Max Meirson. The last two men
tioned are from Placerville. Their
co-operation in sucli a large deal in
dicates strongly the interest taken by
outside capital in San Francisco realty.
The same persons are interested in the
northwest corner adjoining, which is
improved with the Dunne building. The
deal shows the importance that Stock
ton street is assuming.
rt | < \u25a0 lll'' VI m M \ flfi 1
Speck, Paschel & Co. have sold the
southeast corner of O'Farrell and
Mason streets for the estate of Char
lotte F. Clark to the Apache company
for $94,000. The deal was made recent
ly, subject to the approval of the court.
The Apache company includes Thomas
W. Butcher and others. The property
purchased consists of a lot fronting 55
feet in O'Farrell street and 87:6 feet
in Mason street, improved by a four
story structure known as the Hotel
Plaza. This property was erected after
a lease of 50 years had been made for
the property to the Apache company by
Mrs. Clark. The price of $94,000 is not
considered by the brokers to be high.
The sale is brought about in the set
tlement of the estate. Very large
transactions have taken place In the
same neighborhood since the fire of
1906.
LYNCH HORRIFIED AND
PARALYZED BY BILLS
Politician Testifies in Suit of
Architect Hedger
"1 was stupefied when I saw the
bills presented by the architect for his
plans for the Ibis building,", testified
Jeremiah Lynch yesterday in the trial
of a suit in which Henry H. Hedger is
suing him for |5,000 for architect's
fees.
"Do you really mean . stupefied?"
asked Attorney Beedy, representing the
.plaintiff.
"Not only stupefied, but horrified and
terrified and paralyzed as well," re
plied the Egyptologist and . politician
Lynch seemed prepared with more
language descriptive -of. his state of
mind and body, but the , lawyers , hur
ried to another phase of the case.
E. R. Doxey, one of the contractors,
testified that he sent the plans ; pre
pared by Hedger to aftrm of structural
iron, workers, but they we're returned
to him with the statement .that : there
were several details missing. This re
sulted in a loss of several months'
time. >"_':
A. Pissis, an architect, examined the
plans in court ana said they seemed all
right. » •• • •• • : .

BUSINESSMAN AND
STUDENT ELOPE
Miss Ethel Thorndyke Becomes
the Bride of Milton
Moraghan
A romance which had its inception
nearly three years ago, but which was
baffled by the opposition of the girl's
relatives, was completed yesterday noon
when Miss Ethel Thorndyke, a Stanford
student, became the wife of Milton
Moraghan, well known in Olympic club
circles and a member of the firm of M.
B. Moraghan.
The wedding was a secret affair, not
even the girl's uncle and aunt, Mr., and
Mrs. Bond, or the bridegroom's brother,
Charley Moraghan, being taken into
their confidence. In fact, when Charles
Moraghan heard of the marriage
yesterday afternoon he laughed and
doubted.
The marriage took place at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles I. Havens at
2SSI Howard street. Father William
Fleming of Sacred \u25a0 Heart church of
ciated. It was Mrs. ' Havens who en
gineered the elopement.

architect, accompanied by Mrs. Havens,
went to an Elks jinks in San Mateo.
Mrs. Havens has been the confidant of
Miss Thorndyke, and: when, the party
left San Mateo. to come to this city
yesterday morning Miss .Thorndyke was
with them. She had been a student at
Stanford for the last month. \u25a0
Friends of the young couple knew of
their love affair. Differences oC re
ligious belief seemed the only reason
why they should not be "married, and
this, together with. the age of the, young
woman, acted as a stumbling block in
the path of their romance. It is said
that Miss Thorndyke was sent to Palo
Alto that she might. escape the:atten
tions of her sweetheart. But 30 miles
and college routine, did not intercept
communication/ and' love found a way.

COURT OPPOSED TO
BACKING THE BONDS
Mayor Finds Decision Against
Friendly Suit to Show Va=
lidity of Issue
Supervisors Avoid Haste in Con
sidering Plea for Return of
Slot Machines
The '' supreme, court will not pass
upon, the,; validity of" San Francisco's
Geary street road and Sierra water
supply bonds under the pretense of a
"friendly ' suit." Mayor McCarthy ac
knowledged yesterday that it would
be impossible to adopt this method of
putting the "sterling" stamp on the
$47,000,000 worth of securities the city
has for sale..
"It would be a good thing if it could
be done," he remarked regretfully to
Attorney E. F. Horan, who agreed,
however, that the thing was not fea
sible. '
The mayor has, however, no intention
of calling in. the services of Dillon &
Hubbard, the New York bond experts,
who were employed by the former
board to scrutinize the proceedings in
bond issues. .
"The city is ready to proceed with
the sale of the bonds," said the mayor,
"and all procedure has been complied
with in regard to the issues. I have
today received from the city engineer
his report on the status of both the
Geary road and the Sierra water prop
ositions, but have not yet had time to
examine the reports."
The hope of the city getting a made
to order decision validating the. bonds
was frustrated by the discovery that,
in ' the case of Streater vs. Linscott.
the supreme court -had defined its po
sition adverse to any such action. In
this decision it was stated:
."We are informed by the ap
. pellant's brief that this is "a
friendly proceeding to determine
the validity of the legal method ,
adopted," and we are asked to de
cide the question of such validity,
"independent of the ground on
which the superior court based its
decision." This we can not do. If
we should upon examination agree
with the contention that this dis
trict in issuing bonds must pro
ceed under the act of 1893, we
could afford, the appellant any re- •
lief without reversing a judgment
which was rightly made upon a
ground fairly presented by the
record. Furthermore, regardless
of the fact that tho trial court
based its decision upon this par
ticular ground, this court will not
undertake to decide abstract ques
/tions of law at the request of a
party who shows no substantial
right that can be affected by a de
cision either way. It may be ad
vantageous for municipalities, de
siring to issue bonds, to obtain
from this court in»advance a "cer
tificate of title," attesting the val
idity of the proposed issue, but
such relief can be obtained only in
a proper proceeding, that is, one
in which the-decision of the ques
tion sought to be presented will
be necessary to the disposition of a
real controversy between parties
having an actual interest in the'
matter in litigation.
Mayor McCarthy received yesterday a
handsomely engraved silver plate from
the committee in charge of the ball
to be given the eve of Washington's
birthday, inviting him and Mrs. Mc-
Carthy to attend the event. He took
pleasure in signifying his acceptance
of the honor.
Slot Machine Plea Filed
The slot machines will not be allowed
to come back right away. Supervisor
Deasy stated yesterday that the ques
tion of , permitting a return of these
devices Involved serious consequences
and should not be decided lightly. The
single petition of J. ?J.? J. Dignan for two
machines, it is understood, will rest
quietly in the committee's strong box
for perhaps a month..
Cator May Be Re-elected
The election commission will hold a
special meeting Thursday afternoon to
elect a president for the year. .Com
missioner Cator has been the holdover
chief of the board since the close of
December and will' probably be -re
turned to the position. Commissioner
Welnholz was nominated for the post
at a special meeting about the close, of
the year, but Cator quoted a precedent
casting some doubt upon the legality
of the selection 'at that time and the
matter went over. It is understood that
Weinholz is not anxious to sit at the
head of the table.
• Will Pay Election Demands
The auditor and treasurer will be
ready today to pass upon and to pay
the 2,400 election demands due for serv
ices at the Geary road and water bond
elections.
VWay Buy Playground Lease
City Attorney Liong 'advised Secre
tary Joseph R. Hickey of , the play
ground commission yesterday that the
board had power to purchase leases.
The commission has desired , to . secure
possession of a part of the. North beach
playground, tied ;up with a lease not
expiring until 1912. Long; held its
generalpower to purchase land implied
the lesser authority Uo remove the in

CUTLER SEEKS PAY
AS COMMISSIONER
Member of Taylor Police Board
Notifies Auditor, Holding
Removal Illegal
Boyle Pays McCarthy's Appoint*
ees and Purposes to Con
tinue That Course
A. D., Cutler, member of the Taylor
board of, police commissioners, has be
gun a;.fight.for reinstatement to the
office from which he was ousted by
Mayor McCarthy. Cutler has taken the
position that the order removing him
and the appointment of Percy Hender
son as his successor were Illegal, that
he is still a police commissioner and
that he has a right to the emoluments
of that office. , i / :•
That Cutler intends to take his fight
into the courts is. evident. He an
nounced that.he intends to hold Auditor
Thomas F. Boyle liable under his bond
for- the payment of; his salary for the
full term - for whichi he . was appointed
to the police board.
Cutler has already filed a demand
for that portion of his January salary
which was withheld after his removal
by the mayor, and has declared that
he will insist upon payment of $100
a month salary until January, 1912,
when his appointive term would expire.
The demand already filed is for - $10
salary for the month of January, the
commissioners removed having received
only $90 for the portion of that month
prior to their removal. Cutler's de
mand was contained in a letter sent to
Auditor Boyle, in which he also ex
pressed himself as determined to take
measures to secure his salary for the
entire time for which he was ap
pointed.
None of the other members" of the
old commission have taken a step_ sim
ilar to this, and Cutler is expected to
make an individual fight. His method
probably will be by suit against
Auditor Boyle for salary, instead of
proceedings directly against the mayor
.or Commissioner Henderson, who suc
ceeded Cutler.
Auditor Boyle attached little impor
tance .to Cutler's threat. He said yes
terday that he had: referred the mat
ter to his attorney, but that he in
tended to continue payments on the de
mand of Henderson and the other new
commissioners, and would not recognize
any of the old commissioners. In fact,
he already has passed the salary de
mands of the new commissioners for
$10 each for the latter part of January,
and stated that he would pass the Feb
ruary demands upon presentation.

CHINESE NEW YEAR'S
FIESTA LAUNCHED
Oriental Quarter Gay With
Color and Merry Making
Celestials
Today is Chinese New Tear's day.
The celebration of the Chinese new
year season began yesterday after
noon and will continue throughout the
remainder of the week. This is a sea
son for merry making and the usual
custom among the Chinese of exchang
ing presents, attending banquets and
making calls will be followed.
This new year season will be the
banner, one for the members of San
Francisco's Chinatown since before the
fire. They will be permitted to set off
firecrackers today and throughout the
week. This privilege has been denied
; the Chinese in San Francisco since the
; earthquake until this year. The order
of Chief of Police Martin In granting
them permission to set off firecrackers
is greatly appreciated by the Chinese.
The streets of Chinatown were
thronged last evening with merry mak
ing bands of Chinese and there were
also several thousand visiting whites.
Chinese music was heard until an early
hour yesterday morning and the fes
tivities were participated in not only
by the permanent members of the dis
trict, but by many thousand visiting
Chinese from all sections of the state.
Booths in which are exhibited fruits t
and other delicacies dear to the Chin- i
ese, .foodstuffs, flowers, clothing and
fancy articles line the streets on both I
sides. The settlement of the trouble j
between the different tongs concerned
in the recent war will bring a greater
number of orientals into the festivi
ties. Business is reported as being
brisk and the Chinese have % arranged
a program of pleasure this year that
will excel any year since before the
fire.
The merry making will include the
usual inside gambling games. There
are already several clubs in operation

In the district, but the games are- only
for the respective Chinese families and
are not for whites. The edict of Mayor
McCarthy that the Chinese should have
equal privileges with the whites comes
at an opportune time, as the gaming
tables always play an important part
In their new year celebration.
Tourists are taking advantage of
Chinatown's gala dress and the visitors
last evening ran into thousands. The
fireworks of the Chinese are always
elaborate and the set pieces which will
be set off during the nights of this
week will no doubt attract great num
bers. The buildings are beautifully
decorated in the always unique style
of the celestials, and the Chinese res
taurants are enjoying an unusual pat
ronage of both whites and Chinese. .
Every Chinese tong will hold ban
quets this week, as will the Chinese
Free Masons. This will be a very busy
time for the consul genral. Hsu Ping
chen. who will officiate as toastmaster
at several of the larger dinners.
