EARN THEIR SALARIES.
UNDER SHERIFF CLACK TALKS OF
THE SHERIFF's OFFICE.

Sheriff Whelan was at Sacramento yes
terday, but Under Sheriff Clack was ready
to give any information within his power
and exhibited the books of the office to
prove his assertions. He said:
What are our deputies doing besides drawing
their salaries? Well must saw that that is a
good one, and no mistake. l wish some OF the
orators OF these so-cal1ed popular mass meetings
had to do the work of our outside men, the
ones over whom we have the least observation,
on the pay our men receive.
They work early and late and this book will
show you how much they loaf This column,
as you see, shows what time they leave the
office, the nature of the business they are eX-
pected TO transact and where they are to go.
Here have a space TO record the time they are
TO report back. II think they have been out
too long they are hauled over the Goals and adj
monished to get in earlier next time.
Previous 10 the passage OF the fee bill, which
cuts off large amount of the Sheriff'S per-
qulStes, our men were allowed transportation
to outlying districts, but now the Sheriff does
not feel that he can afford to pay their carfare
and they have to walk or take il out of their
own pockets One of them told me this morn
ing that his carfare for the past thirty days had
amounted TO Sl0. AS many OF their details take
them to the Potrero, Mission or Western Addi-
ton you can see that they earn their salaries
OF course, the inside men, being under our
Immediate observation, attend strictly to bust
ness, and / do not think that there is another
department in San Francisco in which the men
are so hard pushed.
The number OF men Under the Sheriff was
liked by the Legislature sixteen years ago and
has never been increased, while the business
OF the office has increased at least tWofOld. Is
that not enough to show that they are kept
busy?
This office is open to the inspection OF any
one who has the right to investigate but 1
agree with THE CALL in the contention that
the committee should be local one and not
iunketing crowd OF politicians appointed at
Sacramento.

SELLING ARMS TO REBELS.
Germans Doing a Profitable Business
in Supplying War NUM-
tions.
Rifles Imported by Wholesale and
Struggled Into Samoa as Harm
less "Toys.'

SAMOA, Jan. 30.-Dhe great scandal dur
ing the last month has been the discovery
that Frings q SpatZ, a large German firm
here, has been importing and selling to the
rebels rifles and ammunition. For some
time past it has been known that NUM-
tons of war had been supplied to the
rebel party, and that thereby they were
enabled to maintain an armed opposition
to the Malietoa Government.
1t was suspected that the offenders in
this respect were Germans, and not much
surprise was felt when no proper efforts
were made to bring them to Justice One
of the local papers has been very keen in
endeavoring to trace the offense home to
the guilty persons, and early this year
it found its opportunity. By some means
it acquired information in regard to this
contraband trade, and the next issue of the
Herald contained an article which forced
the authorities to take such action, that
the whole disgraceful business was ex-
posed. The rifles had been imported from
Germany packed in cases labeled toys"
and, owing to the imperfect customs ar
rangements, had got into Samoa.
The first installment was but part of an
immense quantity now stored in Sydney
by the firm in question and which they
have admitted were intended to be intro
dueed into Samoa. 1t will scarcely be be-
lieved that for such heinous offense, in
direct contravention of the Berlin treaty,
the German Consul here simply fined the
two partners in the firm S37 50 each. Had
British subject been found guilty OF
like offense he would have had to do at
least seven years Imprisonment.
Great Indignation has been expressed
together with certain amount of satisfac-
ton, that at last the infamous perpetra-
tors of this outrage of supplying the natives
with the means of shedding each others
blood have at last been discovered, and
that neither Britishers nor Americans are
involved. 1t is fully believed that the
German authorities were perfectly aware
of the progress of this iniquitous traffic.
Samoa has been visited by plague in
the form of the Dengae fever, which has
laid up almost every foreign resident and
most of the natives. AT present Consul
General Mulligan is severely attacked.
Many deaths have resulted, and, although
the fever has nearly abated in Upolu, it is
raging fercely in the other islands.

In the state was in the habit Of going.
A slight change in favor OF his own

CAPT. HowoArE ACQUITTED.
The Signal ssrvic, Oncer Found to BE Not
Guilty.

GUILTY..
Washington, Feb. 24-Captain Henry
Howgate, formerly disbursing clerk OF
the signal service, who has been on
trial here since January 2S on two in
dictments charging him with embezzle.
ment and forgery, was to-day acquit-
ted Of the charges.
The case was given to the jury at
noon on Thursday last, and it was not
until noon today that verdict was
reached. On the first ballot, it is said.
the vote stood seven to five for acquit-
tally. The jury reported on yesterday
their inability to agree, but Judge Nc
COmas insisted that they should re-
main and try again.
The Howgate trial has been unusual
in many ways. Fourteen years ago
important frauds affecting large sums
of money We're discovered in the signal
service accounts and Howgate was
charged with having committed them.
He was arrested but by a ruse escaped
from his guards and for thirteen years
remained in New York city. Although
reward Of 5000 was offered for his
capture, he was not arrested until last
fall. At the beginning of the trial
there was hot legal battle in regard
to the validity of the indictments on
which it was proposed to try Howgate.
They were finally sustained and the
case tried on its merits.
The jury found that the case was not
barred by the statute Of limitations.
but held that Howgate was not guilty
of the particular offenses charged. AT
ted the verdict was reached Howgate
was sent back to await trial on the
seven indictments still remaining
against him. 1t Is not known which of
these will first be tried.

For twenty-six years I have used
tobacco In great quantities and of late
years took to cigarette smoking. writes
Mr.. w. E. Simpson OF Lecompte, La.
Il want to go on record that tobacco
has robbed me of many years of life and
a great deal OF happiness. I realize 1t
now as compare my feelings and my
condition with that OF a year ago, when
l was a tobacco saturated cigarette
fiend. Many and many a time did I
try to quit smoking myself into etern-
ity, but could not put through a day
without suffering extreme nervous tor
ture. which would increase hour by
hour till finally, to save myself as 1t
seemed. from almost flying to pieces, I
had to light the little. white pipe stick
and swallow the smoke. One day l
read in my paper Don't Tobacco Spit

1 was doing. 1t came to me like the
warning of the man who waves the red
flag Of danger at the railroad crossing,
and said that No-To-Bac was an abso-
lutely guaranteed relief from tobacco
