considering the abolition of tli position of customs tiaval officer as published exclusively In the Chronicle yesterday mornlns additional advices received yesterday from the nstlonal capital spesk of further economies contemplated by the Government The abolition of customs naval officers Is not of treat Importance compared with the curtailment of the expense of collecting customs revenue that Die Administration has been trying to accomplish There are a considerable number of ports where it costs from one dollar to vera hundred dollars to collect 1 of revenue Th ports were of Importance at one time but have been continued through the Influence of Con tteasmen In whose districts they ara Ituated Secretary MacVeagh said recently In a report to Congress that considerable saving could be effected by th elimination of a large number of customs ports that are of no use under the sun and that there are many custom houses that the Treasury Department would be much better oft Without TO CONSOLIDATE DISTRICTS A bill was Introduced at the last se tlon of Congress to consolidate the customs ports so as to reduce to a minimum the expene of collecting customs revenue At present all the pons of Alaska are under one collector with deputies stationed at necessary sub ports In the State of Washington and In Hi vail a almllar condition prevalla but In Oregon and California there are several ports In each State In Oregon there are Portland Astoria Yaqulma and Coos bay all of which It Is desired to throw Into one district thus eliminating collectors at Astoria Yaqulma and Coos bay In California there are customs ports at Eureka San Francisco Ld Angeles and San Diego It la proposed to make two districts In California by making TCureka a sub port of Sun Francisco and 8an Diego a sub port of Los Angeles A Treasury official says that It would be far better to make Lios Angeles a sub port of Ban Diego than San Diego of Los Angeles because San Diego Is on the border and needs immediate supervision of a collector but he adds thst Instead nf placing San Diego under Los Angelfs It would be far better to make San Francisco the main port and Eureka los Angeles and San Diego sub ports under the jurisdiction of the Collector at San Francisco SlHVEVOn MAY tO Another unnecessary otfli Is said to fea that of surveyor of cuntom It Is alleged that his duties could he better performed by a deputy collector He Is merely a subordinate the outside executive officer of the collector and receives most of his orders directly from a deputy collector The sevlscd statutes provide that collectors naval officers and surveyors shall attend In person at heir respective offices Under section S3 of the revised statutes the Secretary of the Treasury rosy discontinue all ports of delivery where the receipts are less than 10000 per annum and under section 2853 he Is empowered to abolish or suspend naval officers and subordinate of flcera at all ports except Boston Philadelphia New York Baltimore Charleston Savannah Portland Me and San Francisco The position of naval officer has been abolished at Portland Me i an hat been cdlacnnl Inued at Charlrslon and Savannah by reason of leaving the offices vacant It Is the current belief in Washington that If Congress does not abolish all naval officers and surveyors Secretary MacVeagh may accomplish much of the reform he lias started out to effect by reruslnic to fill those offices when they become vacant us has long been done In the rune of naval officers at Charleston and Savannah KXTKXI TUB CIVIL HKIIVICK Secretary MacWaKh strongly seconds President Taft in hla rei nmiueiidation to put under the civil service customs officers now subject to sppolnlment by the President and confirmation by the Senate On tills subject the Secretary ays And among the Presidential offices which should be put first and at once into Die Usfif1ed service are those Of assistant appraisers In the customs service and until these are so Included and taken out of politics It will be 1m fieratlve In the Introduction of ahso utely necessary reforms In the appraisers office to iletatcli by administrative act every assistant appraiser from all touch and association with practical pollilcs Some authorities highly experienced In the work of appraising as now carried on are of Hie opinion that the assistant appraisers should be dispensed with root and branch Other authorities hold that assistant appraisers are a very necessary part of the organization and that the remedy Is to make them what they should be and while this may be don by administrative act there will no permanent reform until Congress arranges to place them in the classified service WSHMMmmMES Diswismm WAnrEtt FREE TUBIIC LECTUBES TO BE GIVEN THIS WEEK

the Supervisor of the outside counties Although Ihe Alameda Supervisors have not announced their attitude with regard to the Joint exhibit of east bay counties It Is believed that they favor the plsn It Is piohable that the Hupervlsors of Ihe three rountles will agree upon ImiIM Ing for the exposition This bulldlnic will represent the three rountles and maybe more as several other rountles have expressed a desire to Join with Alameda In putting up a building on the exposition grounds The regular meeting of the Alameda Boerd of Supervisors will not be held until Tuesday morning as Monday Is a

taken to Central Emergency Hospital BEEL PLAYERS ARE NOT GOOD 1 Yesterdays Concert Not Up to Usual High Plane of Excellence By HARVEY WICKHAM It used to be the fashion when a sufficient number of musicians met to give vent to their emotions In string harmony to call their aggregation a scrstch club When the club became very proficient so that the neighbors would open the windows while the plsylng was going on It became by due process of evolution a string quartet And since hearing the Slgmund Beel players at the St Francis yester day afternoon 1 am convinced that by an opposite process a string quartet may revert to type and become again a scratch club No I am not saying that the Beel Quartet Is quite a scratch rlub At least Im not ssylng It yet Hut If the organisation which began the sesson with so much promise should suffer another slump like that of yesterday en honest but disappointed critic might liavs difficulty In finding any other term The Qrleg minor quartet was hsdly done there 1 no gettlnjr sround it The cello went through nil the movements with one string notfeeably out of tune The first violin was often harshly Insistent The expression of all was exsggerated the finer shades neglected and In the final presto the general effect was scratchy without qualification Griegs soul was not a large one If we rompare It with the souls of the greet masters of this fornt of composition But It was a delicate soul full of poetry elf like grotesqirerle and real melody Yesterdsy whenever his score suggested vague whisperings or sustained hushed effeots Its bea uty flosted dreamily from the stage to audience ss It was meant to do But the faster the tempo became the less clear was the tonal stream and the more fs In the dynamic moment the less sweetness In the tone The quartet tried tr expand Itself Into an orchestra and of course failed Tne Haende sonata for two violins rendered by Slgmund Beel and Enilllo Merlz velth Gyula Ormay at the piano i mucn oeuer tne Arioso bet Ing especially enjoyable Yet even In this the playera war not vp to their usual form As to the Schubert quintet In nia jor with Kirs playing the second violoncello It wa so much mora worthy of consideration than anything eise on ine programme mat its postyon on the printed list Is my only exeunt for mentioning It lskt Its maglc mak i Ing Adagio and also the trio of thd Scherzo came like cool shower upon the desert of mere fiddling which had gone before The whole work la of the loveliness of a field of wild flowers wherein the genius of Schubert wanders at Its own sweet will without much regard to the stiff canons of form But It Is such a swet will that one would not lop a single melodic flower from Its entrancing pages If the players could have kept themselves throughout to that chsstened purity of style which they achieved In the softer passages nothing more could have been asked But even In Ihe Schubert the fortlsslmos were forced The quartets next concert Is on the evening ot March 15th with a programme Including a Brahms sextet They have given so much pleasure In the past that It Is not too much to hopo that they will then recapture that delicacy and refinement of expretslon which so aften escaped them yesterday PHTUPPIHE REVENUE OFFICIAL IS DEAD MANIUA February 11 Ellis Cromwell Collector of Internal Revenue died suddenly today while returning to Manila

found Mayers and asked him what the trouble waa Mayera totd him that he had a couple of pickpockets I told Mayers he wss making a mistake said Mulcahy and told him he had no authority to make any arreata of that nature The two men looked all right to me I refused to assist Mayers in making any arrest and when I returned to police headquarters I was told that Mayers had aald I had furnished him my handcuffs and my club Bever who is well known about town and who has known Mayers fpr some time said at the hotel yesterday afternoon The whole thing may have been funny but for some reason 1 cannot see the Joke First we were approached by Mayers who wanted to borrow money Then when I wouldnt loan him any he arrested me and before I could start anything I had hand ruffs on and was being banged around like a football THE CROWD FOIXOWKD The march to police headquarters only needed a brass band and some torchlights to make a noise like sn election parade At least 200 people followed us and I think Mayers called me every name In his vocabulary before we arrived at the jail where Mayera promptly became the prisoner snd we wero naturally turned looae And today the Joshing I have been getting around the hotel has been something fine It la lovely advertising for a business man to get When Mayera arrived at pollce head quarters Saturday night In the role of a victorious captor only to remain in detention In Ihe less heroic role of a prisoner he told the police that he had seen Bever and Mattfeldt on Market street thought they looked like pickpockets and so had arrested them Inasmuch as Mayer had seen Bever and Mattfeldt around the Hotel Stanford for some time knew who they were and It has been reported received many courtesies from the two men the potlce scarcely could plare much cred ence In his pickpocket statement and locked him up without much delay i SW aTKMlJU I Rums a I gP29a1jcK Vrt PLAN AEROPLANE POSTAL SERVICE Postoffice Will Be Established at the Aviation
