SAN FRANCISCO PLANS GREAT FESTIVAL OF REJUVENATION Portola Celebration This Year to Be on Scheme of Practically International Importance Other Gossip of Golden Gate City. BT HARRY B. SMITH. SAX FRANCISCO. July SL (Special.) The Portola Festival, which is to be celebrated In San Francisco from October 12 to 19 and is in the na ture of a welcome back to the bis down town business section, is getting to be a' really big thing. This can best be appreciated by a formal appeal that has been made by the finance committee for funds to carry out the plans for the big celebration. In view of the wide Inter national interest which has been aroused, and the desire to make it entirely suc cessful, it is hoped that at least J200.000 will be subscribed. The appeal, which Is In the form of a letter, 25,000 copies of which are being mailed to Individuals, Is directed chiefly to the business men and asks for voluntary subscriptions. . Louis Sloss. chairman of the committee. In speaking of the request for funds, re cently stated: "The -committee feels that the time has arrived for an appeal 1o the people of San Francisco for finan cial aid. The scope of the festival has grown to such a magnitude that money Is absolutely essential at once to carry it to a successful conclusion. President Taft has declared his intention of being present. England, France. Holland, Japan and Italy have already detailed warships to be In the harbor during the celebration, and other nations have pledged themselves to be represented here. The attractions are very numerous and will bring several hundred thousand visitors into San Francisco." The Native Sons have coirie to the front and have promised their assist ance. In the big parade that Is to be held they will have one section ifor themselves, and. further than that, they are to entertain largely and raise funds to cover their own expenses. Athletic games will be held at the Stadium, and James . Sullivan, presi dent of the Amateur Athletic Lnion, has accepted an invitation to act as chairman of the games. Mystery Is Explained. Over from Kurope has come a very simple explanation of something the San Francisco papers tried to make a deep mystery a few months ago. This explanation comes in the shape of a wedding announcement, as follows: Mrs. Joseph Budd Has the Honor of Announcing the Mar riage of Her Granddaughter, Ziila Dumouries. " to Mr. Edward James de Nivernals. Now that is all very plain. Mrs. Joseph Budd is the venerable mother of the lata Governor James H. Budd. The announcement of the marriage of her granddaughter means that the lady is the daughter of the late Governor. Mrs. Dumouries de Mvernais was part of Governor Budd's family for years, but when the Governor's will was exploited, an effort was made to make a mystery of her position In the family. She uimed none of the estate, as she w? a woman of independent fortune a for tune left her by her first husband. "Gene" Schmitz, the ex-Mayor of San Francisco, convicted of boodling but out on bail pending a further retrial of his case, is gold mining in Butte County, California, where he and his brother have two quartz mines. They are spending all . i ?' j DAUGHTERS OF PITTSBURG MILLIONAIRE ARE CHORUS GIRLS i iaf :: :: 7i- - jt 1 ' x ' I : i . kx-" - ..M.:r.-.- A.SHITZ GIRLS ASD 1IEMBERS OF "MOTOR GIRL" COMPANY. NEW YORK. July 31. Special.) It was not? to be supposed that the press agent would overlook anything as interesting' as the ; baseball ri valry between the New York and Pittsburg teams to exploit his musical show. So the girls of "The Motor Girl" company developed a wonder ful interest in the pennant fight during the games between the Giants and the Pirates. A rivalry arose between the New York girls In the company and the Anshutz girls of Pittsburg. The Misses Anshutz are the daughters of Colonel Louis Anshutz, a Pittsburg millionaire. One of them joined the "Motor Girl" company recently and her parents sent the other daughter to persuade her to leave the stage. Instead of persuading, the second Miss Anshutz was persuaded and herself joined the company. The Anshutz girls are seen in the picture carrying Pitts burg flags. - of their time in that section of the state, and the people there are watching their operations with considerable in terest. It is said by those who know that the ex-Mayor and his brother have two good Investments. One of them is the St. Francis mine and the other the Car lyle mine, near Horbestown. They are said to own the latter in its entirety and two-thirds of the stock of the St. Fran cis. Schmitz is keeping his mining operations as quiet as possible, and seemingly has no desire to mingle much With his newly-formed .neighbors In the county of Butte, except when it is ab solutely necessary. It is expected that he will make that county his permanent home, in case the law does not say him contrary. There has been a ton of pother in the prints about the rivalry between the Frank Carolans and the Will Crockers in the matter of building their mansions in the fashionable suburbs. But the truth of the falling out hasn't been told. The truth is, the split came, as so many ructions have come, over the graft prosecution. The Carolans took the side of Rudolph Spreckels. Of course, the Crockers were on the other side. The two families had been lnti mate. Then came the rift in the lute. One morning, Mrs. Crocker saw Frank Carolan at the Burlingame sta tion, and haughtily gave him the over look. The next day on the Burlingame Club porch, Mrs. Carolan wanted to know why Mrs. Crocker had passed up Mr. Carolan. There were words and words, and Willie hasn't spoken to Frankie since. From that came a determination to have the finest home in the country side. It is a splendid struggle and there will certainly be two show places added to the attractions of the Peninsu la. Members of the three expensive hab erdashery firms of this city express no surprise that wealthy Americans like Henry C. Frick, of Pittsburg and New York, are spending in London 'as much as $750 for a suit of finely finished silk underwear. They, assert that 50 or more wealthy Californians, mostly of San Francisco, have for a good many years been spending $100 or $200 on a single suit of silk underwear. Sometimes these millionaires order direct while in London, while others order through their San Francisco stores. These haberdasher artists whisper softly that Francis J. Carolan is especially fastidious about this part of his clothing, and that men like George Newhall, William H. Crocker, Banker Donohoe, James L. Flood, James V. Coleman and others, like such gar ments costing in the three figures. They don't run to frills, however, like men of the Carolan stamp. J. Downey Harvey and James D. Phelan used to be in the Newhall and Crocker under wear class before the fire, so it is said, but since that date have found comfort if not entire satisfaction in a cheaper silk garb next the skin. In an opinion handed down by the Court of Appeals in this city during .the week, the order of the Superior Court was affirmed in the action brought against the Williamsburg City Fire Insurance Company by the Pacific Heating & Ventilating Company for in surance loss to their premises during the great fire. This is the first opinion that has been handed down by a State Appelate Court in regard to the liability of insurance companies on the earthquake clause used " by the Williamsburg and other companies, and is in conformity with an opinion from the United States Circuit Court. It means that all policy holders must be paid in fsll. The court rules that the earthquake clause iB void and is to be considered as if it were never written. The Supervisors evidently discovered that they went to extreme measures when by a recent ordinance they not only ruled out the card machines in ci gar stands and saloons, but also barred dice shaking. There was a general protest and as a result a new ordinance has been passed to print, by which dice shaking will be allowed. The proprie tor of a cigar store or saloon is not to be permitted to shake dice for cigars or drinks, but if two customers come along and desire to engage in this game of chance, they are to be so per mitted. The Mayor has not as yet signed the ordinance, but it is expected that he will do so' before his ten days given for consideration of the measure, are up. , Assassins Murder Three. BERLIN. July 31. (Special.) A triple murder has been committed at an inn at Klein-Rollenses, near Welzer. The mur derers forced an entrance into the inn, and, rushing into a bedroom, shot the inn-keeper's sister-in-law. On hearing the shot the landlord appeared and was shot in the breast. His wife met the same fate, a bullet being lodged in ..her head. There is no trace of the assassins. r GERMANY GAINS BY ROAD New Tauern Railroad Gives Father land Big Grip on Commerce. BERLIN, July 31. (Special.)-An inter esting letter from Munich is published under the above title in the Poster Lloyd. After alluding to the lively interest of Germany in the new railway through the Alps, which links up the North German and Bavarian with the Austrian rail ways, the writer adds: "Since the Tauern line, with its Aus trian continuations, the Karawanken and Wochein railways, Y-uns principally through territory people by Germans and possessing German civilization, one may say that passenger and goods traffic can now be conducted through German lands from the North Sea and the Baltic to the , Adriatic, whereas the Brenner line only ; leads to the Adriatic In a roundabout way through territory partly Italian. Tha . great economic and civilizing importance of the Tauern Railway for Austria, the Germlan Empire and, indeed, for the whole of Central Europe, is therefore, clearly revealed." The writer proceeds to calculate that it will now be possible to reach Trieste from Munich in 10 or 11 hours and Tri este from Berlin in 21 hours. He adds: "In view of the reinforcement of the well-tried bond of friendship between Austria-Hungary and Germany, the open ing of the Tauern Railway signifies a mighty step forward In the political and economic development of Europe."
