couple of days ago the Revenue Col
lectors received communication from
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Mason, directing that all gaugers at recti-
flying houses be relieved tomorrow. In
the San Francisco district this will cause
reduction in the number of gaugers in
the service.
The order directs that only the num-
Der OF gaugerS necessary to dump spirits
are to be retained. The rectifyers will
gauge and mark the packages of rectified
spirits and attach the rectitied stamps.
The stamps will be obtained from the
Office OF Collector of Internal Revenue.
upon proper application being made.
The effect of the order will be to maxi
the rectitierS do most of the work
now done by the gaugers. Under tho
present system the department has a
gauger to go to each rectifying house to
make the dump. This work the few
gaugers to be retained will continue 70
do. Heretofore the ga2ger in addition
to making the dump, marked and
stamped the rectified packages. Hereafter
the rectitier will have to do the MARKING
and gauging of the rectified spirits. call
on the Collectors Office to procure stamps
and place them on the packages instead
Of having the gauger do it.
Collector Bylngton was seen yesterday
by RECORD UNION reporter and asked
If the order would result in auy redtIc-
ton of his force. He replied that it
would not. The gauger would not have
as much gauging to dc as heretofore, but
there would be plenty of other work to
keep him busy.

The convention was held at Federated
Trades Hall, and was presided over by J.

The first subject considered by the
convention was the hydraulic mininp
situation. Delegate j. r. Lewis of Sutter
urged that resolution be adopted con-
demnatory of the Caminetti bill, and
other valley delegates favored the nomi-
nation of a candidate for Congress who
would be against the hydraulickers.

action on the mining trouble, saying that
1t was something that would cut two

WHOA. EMMA !"
A Former Sacramentan Sued for Dam
ages by Young Woman.
Emma Tilton Alleges that NJ. NJ. OdeIl
Promised to Marry Her, and
Then Wed Another.

There are few old residents of Sacra-
mento better known in this part of the
State than NJ. NJ Odell, former cattle
man and wholesale butcher, who for a
few years past has been living in the
vicinity of Sisson, Siskiyou County. His

this part of the State We're surprised YES
terday on reading in the San Francisco
papers that young woman of that CITY
had sued him for $4,000 for alleged
breach of promise and consequent dam
age done her feelings.
This suffering young creature, whose
name is Emma A. Tilton, alleges that
last February Odell-who is a widower-
became engaged to her, but that the de-
fendant had since married Miss Susan
Barnes. Miss Tilton demands Judgment
of the Superior Court for the sum named.
Odell, who is still q stock raiser and
butcher, is OF advanced years and worth
about 100000 in the opinion of his
friends. He had a friend in San Fran
cisco, Professor John Iilton, who resides
at I'll Elm avenue, and recently met
him here. In the course of conversation
the loneliness of bachelordom was adj

years Of age. Odell was struck by the de-

speedily started a correspondence with
her.
The correspondence went on smoothly
to mutual satisfaction, but the climax
seems to have come when i'll response to
the receiving Of Odell's photograph Miss
Iilton sent one OF herself to her admirer.
The arrangements were soon made, ana
according to the complainant, Mr.. Odell
proposed by letter and was accepted.
Evidently the photograph had con

to Miss Tilton's friends when he arrived
in the city and saw his fiancee he ex-
claimed that she was both too small and

JEAN SIMEON'O BODY.
Certainty That 1t is Still at the River
Bottom.
The Body Found Yesterday Was Badly
Decomposed-What Simeon's
Roommate Says.

A body, at first supposed to be that of
Jean NJ. Simeon, who was drowned with
Ed Spenoni about midnight on Tuesday,
was recovered from the river yesterday
morning. 1t was first discovered by a
man named Otto, and taken out by
Thomas Soule and Charles White, at a
point near the Paine break, on the
Yolo side.
1t was delivered to Justice Kaup of
Washington, who, at the request of mem
bers of Sacramento Lodge, No. IL, K. of
P, permitted it to be brought over to the
Morgue in this city.
a number of the members of the lodge
and friends of Simeon viewed the re-
mains yesterday, but the body was so
badly discolored, swollen and decom-
posed that it was not identified.
Justice Kaup has a silver watch and
plated chain, together with sleeve buttons
and shirt-stud taken from the body.
The buttons are engraved with either
the letter "C' or 'E" in German text.
A reward of S25 was offered by the
lodge mentioned above for the recovery
Of Simeon's body, but last evening the
Secretary of the lodge notified Coroner
clark that they would not accept this as
his remains.
The case was Investigated yesterday by
lodge committee, and the Secretary
stated last evening that there was scarcely
chance of the body found being that of
Simeon. When seen a few hours before
gong IN the boat he had gold watch and
chain, and at the boat-house his street
coat was found. while a hunting coat
winch he was accustomed to wear when
boating, was gone, indicating that he
changed his coat before going out
John Stack, his room mate at 1928 Sec
ond street, says he saw him at noon on
Tuesday and gave him the keys to the
boat and locker, at which time he had a
gold watch, and he is positive the re-
mains are not those of Simeon.
As the body was floating when found,
and only about thirty-siX hours after
Simeon sank, and several miles from
where the latter was drowned, it did not
seem at all probable that it could be his.
There IS scarcely any current in the river
now, and the probability is that Simeon's
body viii yet be recovered not far from
where the boat was upset.
THE BODY IDENTIFIED,
Since the above was in type the BODY
has been identified as that of a Young
man named Charles Frisch, who disap-
peared on Sunday.
The last seen of him was on the river
front between II and l o'clock of that
night, and the superstition is that he
committed suicide, although no reason is
known for his taking his own life.
Deceased formerly worked at the rail-
road shops. His home was on X street.
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth. He
leaves two sisters-a Mrs. Graft and Miss
kittle trisch. The parents of Frisch are

STUPENDOUS HUMBUG.
Making Food Tests with Doctored
Samples.
An Organized Scheme to Deceive and
Defraud the Honest Housewives
of California.
Chronicle. San Francisco.

One OF the new baking powder concerns
which is trying to introduce its goods into
this market acknowledges that it is be-
hind the fraudulent test tricks which
have recently been performed in the
kitchens of this vicinity.
1t is remarkable that any manufacturer
claiming respectability, should put him
self in SO contemplate position as this.
The scheme which these parties are try
ing to work is one of the most stupen-
dous humbugs of the day. 1t is not only
humbug, but SO dishonest that it's back
ers have not the courage to engage in it
openly, but put forward innocent women
to perform the public part of the disgrace
full and illegal operation.
One of the women who was employed
in the performance of these tricks, and
who resigned her position when she found
out their fraudulent character, thus de-
scribes the methods she was taught to use:
She was to obtain sample of the baking
powder used IN the house visited mix it
with water, boil it, and tell the house
keeper that the gas given off indicated
that there was something wrong about
the powder. II the housekeeper's imag-
NATION was not equal to the demands of
the occasion, the tester was instructed to
use sample can Of the same powder
which had been specially doctored and
prepared to show the thing desired
This test was supplemented by another
equally as fraudulent. \ small quantity
of the baking powder found in the kitchen
and a similar quantity of the baking
powder which the tester was trying to
prove superior, were mixed with water
III separate glasses. The first being pure
would foam up quickly, like a glass of
champagne, while the other would rise
slowly, frothing like yeast, the foam per-
haps standing over the top Of the glass.
This the tester was taught to claim as an
evidence OF the superiority of the powder
she carried. She had found out, however.
by rather unpleasant experience that
she had been deceived and was likewise
deceiving the housekeeper. A lady said
TO her one day when she was performing
this test that she believed it was a fraud:
that the extra foam upon the testers
powder was caused by the introduction
OF an aduiterant The housekeeper then
procured small quantity of flour which
she thoroughly mixed with her own
powder before adding the water. When
the mixture was stirred, exactly the same
slow foam resulted as with the other
powder. This showed the woman that
the whole test was hunt bug. and that
the result was an evidence that the new
powder carried by the tester contained an
adulterant.
There is another dishonest feature in
this business. The baking powder which
these travelling testers are trying to sell
by these methods and upon the represent
tation that all its ingredients are named
upon the label of each can, and that these
ingredients are simply cream of tartar.
soda, and flour, is actually shown by the
reports of official chemists to have in its
composition time and sUtphar1c acid.

A man named William Glenn, evil

disturbance on Second street yesterday
morning. He undertook to drive off sew
eral hacks belonging to various parties,
and finally succeeded in taking possess
sion of a ranch wagon, in which he rode
up and down the street until stopped by
the owner.
Re then jumped into delivery wagon
and occupied himself by unloading
goods into the street, when he was inter-
rupted by Special Officer Greer
Greer took the man into his cart, when
he suddenly seized the officer and threw
him out, whereupon Greer seized his
crazed customer and a lively wrestle
ensued, in which a great deal of rough
and-tumble struggling took place.
Bystanders went to the officers assist
ance, and Glenn was finally handcuffed
and taken to the City Jail, where he was
charged with disturbance of the peace

Baseball cranks say there will be a
lively game at Agricultural Park next
Sunday, when the Suisun and Scott Il
Gilbert clubs come together for the third
time. On the two former occasions the
home team was defeated by close scores,
and now they will do their utmost to turn
the tables on their victorious rivals. Since
the clubs last met the home team has de-
feated the Vallejo club, the leaders in the
Pennant race, and the Vallejos have twice
defeated the Suisuns.
The home club is now much stronger
than when 1t last played the Suisuns
Moody, Mcdonald, Callen, Pace and
Campbell have added strength to the
weak spots in the team. Callen and Pace
VIII be the battery, and as Callen is again
at his Santa Rosa form he will no doubt
give a good account of himself.
Manager Gilbert has secured Jack
Campbell, promising young player
who has lately drifted out here from the
East, to play second base, and judging
from his work last week he is a second
Reitz.
Tillman and Larl1in will do the battery
work Tor the Suisuns, and the remainder
OF the team is the same as when it last
played here. For backing up of posi-
lions and good, lively coaching, they are
the superiors OF any baseball club that
has visited Sacramento.
1t is expected that the Suisuns will run
an excursion train from their town, and
as the Suisun people believe they have
the best club in the State there will be
plenty of enthusiasm, and the friends of
the home team will have to turn out in
force to offset the visitors and encourage
the local men. The makeup of the clubs
