BANKER HAILS
SAN FRANCISCO
AS WORLD PORT
Head of British Travel Associa
tion Declares City Is Tour
ists' Objective Point
New Orleans Known by Shipping
Men Merely as Depot for
Tramp Steamers
That the shipping and transportation
interests of Great Britain unanimously
regarded San Francisco a& one of the
ports of the world and New Orleans
nothing mere than a "depot for tramp
steamers'* was the declaration of Da
vid Jackson, a member of the banking
r *nd shipping firm of J. Jackson &
\u25a0Sons, president of the British travel
association and city councillor of Liver
pool. Eng., who arrived fn San Fran
c.lfco yesterday.
'I do not wish to belittle New Or
leans," he said, "but the fact remains
that in the minds of the shipping
men of Great Britain it is merely a
d^rot for tramp steamers while San
Francisco, on the other hand, is looked
upon as one of the ports of the world.
LIVE WIRE OF TRAFFIC
"As a transportation man I should
like to see the exposition go to San
Francisco. This city is what in trans
portation circles is known as the live
wire of traffic. The branch headquar
ters of the big transportation compa
nies are situated here and it is to
San Francisco that transportation
looks in regard to western traffic.
"The claim of New Orleans that if
the exposition is held within its boun
daries it will draw there many Euro
pean touriFts who would not travel
to San Francisco is not accepted by
me, personally. I think I know the
European tourist pretty well and my
firm belief is that the European trav
«">l<"-r t\'ho jroej; to New Orleans to see
the exposition will come on to San
Franoipfo and complete the journey.
The Cliff house Is regarded in the tour
ist mind as an objective point of
travel.
HARBOR IMPROVEMENT PRAISED
"In regard to the exposition I might
Ftate that San Francisco offers splen
did hotel accommodations. This is an
important factor in the success or fail
it« of an exposition and ought to be
taken into consideration when it comes
to choosing a site."
Jackson, who visited San Francisco
for the last time 10 years ago. was
loud In his praises of its rebuilding.
"Your docking facilities and. harbor
have been improved wonderfully," he
s&id. "The time Is coming when the
ports of the world will have to enter
irsto Mtter competition with each other
for the commerce of the world and
San Francisco is doing well in im^
rroving* its harbor and water front."
Jackson was a guest of the Trans
portation club at luncheon yesterday.
He left in the afternoon for I»s Ang
*>.fi 2nd wiil return to England, via
Mexico.

PICKETING PICKET IS
PINCHED BY POLICE
Charles Brown Finds Boycotting
Boycotters Is Hard Work
Picketing pickefF is a new and lucra
tive, though admittedly dangerous, oc
cupation Charles Brown learned yes
terday when he was before Police
Judge KhortalJ on a charge of refusing
to move on. Brown admitted that he
refused io heed a policeman's command
to move from in front of a Powell
street cafeteria whirh is being boy
rotted by the waiter's union.
""You see," explained Brown, "I was
being paid a dollar an hour by the
proprietor to overcome the work of
the union pickets by informing passeris
hy that the restaurant was atfine place
to eat and to pay no attention to the
boycotters. It was dangerous work, as
the women pickets threatened to pull
my beard out, but I needed the money."
Judge Shortall ascertained that
Brown was a sailor and advised him to
taku tr> the sea again.

HOMESTEADER WINS
OVER OIL LOCATORS
Supreme Court Interprets the
Law Placing Claims Under
Placer Mining Act ,\
The bill adopted by congress mak
ing acquisition of oil lands possible
only under the placer mining law was
interpreted by the state supreme court
yesterday In a decision which gave
title to a quarter section in Fresno
county to C. A. McLemore. McLemore
perfected his homestead entry 16
months after eight individuals had
claimed the property under the min
ing location statute.
Possession by mining location can
not be complete, said the court, until
the mineral is found. Nor can pos
session be secure unless the locators
are diligently prosecuting a search for
the mineral. This search must be pros
ecuted, not by trying to raise capital
to finance the work, nor by improving
the land, building roads and houses or
laying out boundaries, but only by
sinking a shaft.
The eight individuals, who later
formed the Express oil company, and
who had located on the quarter sec
tion in January, 1906, perfected im
provements far in- excess of what
would have been demanded had they
filed on the land by homestead. When
McLemore filed on the property in
April, 1907, his predecessors had not
been boring for, oil, as they had been
engaged in seeking capital to carry
out the enterprise. Because of this
fact the supreme court ' determined
that McLemore was" entitled to owner
ship and affirmed the order of the
Fresno county superior court ejecting
the members of the Express oil com
pany.
The property In dispute was known
as the northeast quarter of section 24,
township 21 south range 15 east, M. D.
B. & M., Fresno county. • •

sqrrow," who is one of the ' funniest

give the monologue with, which he is
delighting audiences this* week at the
Wigwam.

porting company from the Columbia
will present; the third act of the pow
erful play in which she is at present

low with a bright and lively musical
number, and, last of all, Alfred the
Great, the almost human chimpanzee
from the Chutes, will be seen, bring
ing, the performance- to : a close" with
his living demonstration of the Dar
winian theory. , .
Every number of the program will
have an interest of its own, and the
whole will; make a showing that is
•worth tw;ice -the price of admission.
The tickets are on sale at the Colum
bia theater.

DECISION UPHOLDS
'COMPANY STORES'
Employers May Compel Patron
age of Their Hospitals or
••> Places of Business
The practice of large corporations,
particularly the lumber companies of
the state, compelling their employes to
patronize company stores anU company
hospitals, was upheld in a decision
rendered -by the supreme court yes
terday. Judge Henshaw wrote the
opinion. .
"He who does what the law allows
can not be a' wrongdoer whatever his
motive," quotes the justice. So long
as no contract exists between employer
and employe, said the decision, the
latter may resign and the former may
discharge his workmen for any reason.
If this reason be that the workman
patronizes a store which competes with
that of the company, no wrong has
been done by. the corporation..
It was in the suit of the Union
Labor Hospital association against
seven big lumber companies, and which
was tried in Eureka, that the question
was raised. The hospital association
was granted an injunction in the lower
court preventing . the companies' from

ROUSES JUDGE'S IRE
Flamboyant Decoration Brings a
N Fine of $5
If Gustave Faust, an oiler on tli*
transport Logan, Is ever again . called
before Police Judge Conlan he will b«s
careful as to his personal adornment.
It cost him just $5 to learn this. Faust
was arrested for disturbing the peac*.
Faust boarded a car at Second. street
in Market and rode to the ferry, looped
the loop and started back up Market
street. Faust objected to paying two
fares, saying the ferry was not the
terminus, as the car did not have to
turn its trolley around.
"When Faust appeared before Judge'
Conlan yesterday morning he wore an
expansive smile and a green butterfly
a foot wide pinned to the lapel of his
coat. Taking it all in all, Gustave
was well satisfied with himself. Judge-
Conlan dismissed the charge of. dis
turbing the peace but fined him $5 for
appearing in court with his adorn
ment. Faust paid and left crestfallen.
