CLUTCHED HER THROAT
Startling Experience of Woman In
Berkeley


Berkeley
Berkely. Cal, March 12.-At 80
o'clock this morning Mrs P. Nollmer, who
resides on the corner of Louisa and Lin
coin streets, in North Berkeley, awoke
to find a man cutching at her throat.
The bed clothing was so close about her
neck, however, that the would be burglar
could not get q grip on her throat, and she
struggled so hard that she succeeded in
releasing herself, screaming meanwhile so
loud as to awaken the sother inmates of
the house. The robber escaped in the
midst of the confusion without securing
any booty. He entered by means of the
backdoor, which was unlocked, and a
vicious dog, which is kept in the back
yard and never allows any stranger to
approach, was found in a stupor as if he
had been drugged.

The Schooner That Carried Arms

San Diego, March 12.-Colector Fisher
received word yesterday from United
States District Attorney Denis deciding
that the case against the schooner Wahi-
berg must be instituted in the port from
which she cleared-San Francisco. Fisher
accordingly released the vessel so far as
he was concerned, and wired the Depart
ment of Denis decision.

days ago, returned yesterday. He had
been at San Francisco, and on returning
again took charge OF his schooner. 1t is
very probable that the vessel will be i'm

$500 fine imposed by the Department for
violation of the port regulations.

B00NE'S ARREST
Charged With Felony and Embezzlement
While Away on Spree

A photographer named T. J. Pollock,
whose speciality is taking Landscapes,
views and pictures in the country, pre-
scented himself before Deputy District At
torney McComas yesterday afternoon and
in a breathless condition told him a tale
OF woe. He said that on Monday he had
entrusted TO "a man by the name OF Sid
Boone, also Photographic artist, a horse
aud spring wagon, camera with tripod,
d lens aud the other necessary parapher-
MALTA for the business, the whole outfit
being worth 500, to go into the country
and do some Photographic work for him
Boone had not returned, inquiries made
at the places where he should have gone
disclosing that he had never been near
them. Pollock had also telegraphed to
Santa Ana, whore Boone had told him
that his wife resided, and he had learned
that he had no wife at all. EVervthing
pointed seriously to the conclusion that
Boone had eloped with the horse and
buggy. After considerable inquiry Judge
MCComas drew up complaints charging
Boone with felony embezzlement.
Not half an hour later Deputy
Sheriff Martin Aquirre, who had re-
ceived the warrant for the arrest of
The supposed embezzler met him driving
toward his employers place OF business
His face looked bloated, his eyes blcary
and he looked as if he had slept under a
haystack IL turned out that Boone, in
stead Of attending TO business, had gone
OH big spree, during which he forgot all
about photographing but learned good
deal about painting the town in red
colors. He will reflect in the county Jail
upon the folly OF intoNicaton until Pol

Receipts Are Larger Than Under the Nc
Kinley Mcasurc-To Stop Gold Exports.
Figures concerning the operation OF
the new tariff law during the first
six months of Its operation are now
available. They Justify those friends
Of the new law who have stood firm in
Its defense amid all the storm of criti-
cism aimed against 1t. it Is well un-
derstood by everyone that a great
diminution of receipts from internal
evenue sources was inevitable after
the enactment Of the . law. This
could not have been averted, for manu-
f~acturers always anticipated any addi-
ton to the tax on spirits and other in
ternal revenue articles, and loss of re-
ceipts are sure to follow. This loss is
temporary, however, and In this case
the receipts will soon be up to and in
excess Of the old mark. In the most
important customs feature Of the
operation of the new law, the figures
give great satisfaction to the friends
Of the measure. The new law went
into effect august rs, 1904, and by com
pairing the receipts of September, Oc-
tober, November and December, 1894,
and January and February Of this
year with the corresponding six months
Of the preceding years 1t is easy to de-
termine whether the new law has
given an increase or decrease Of Gus
toms receipts. The following figures
show the customs receipts for the six
months in question, month by month,
under the new law, and during the
corresponding months OF tho proceed

AMERICAN CARPETS ABROAD.


Curious Admission Made by m OficlAi
Organ of High Protection.
We do not quite understand why the
Protective Tariff league publishes in
its weekly journal, the American Econ
omist, n long article taken from the
Textile Mercury English) of the 10th
ult., relating to the failure OF certain
manufacturers Of carpets in Kidder-
minister. 1t is explained in this article
that the failures were due chiefly to
american coInpetition"in the English
market-that is to say, to the under
selling of the English manufacturers
Mt their own doors by manufacturers
who shipped their goods from this
country.
As the Protective Tariff league and
the followers Of Mckinley generally
have asserted that the recent reduction
of our duties on English carpets would
ruin the domestic industry, because
American manufacturers could not COM
pete with the English here at home
without the aid of a high duty, to say
nothing of competing with them In
England without the mid of any duty
whatever, the leagues purpose in cir
culating this article through the
| try is not clearly disclosed.
We quote a few sentences Concern
ing the failure of 1.-THE well-known
and hitherto successful firm of II. r.
Willis & Co., limited" the Textile Mer
curry says:
This firm has suffered severely from
the general bad trade during the last
| two years and from the effects of
American competition. The almost
| total failure Of the Brussels industry,
consequent upon the enormous reduc-
ton in Administer makes, which that
competition has caused, has hit Kid
derminster very badly"
After announcing the failure Of
Whittal Bros. & Co., also OF Kidder-
minister, the English journal goes on
as follows:
1.-THE Brussels section Of the industry
has suffered severely from the reduc-
tion in prices Of Administer makes,
brought about by the necessity Of
meeting the competition of the mo-
q%uettes sold on the English markets by
the Alexander Smith company Of
Yonkers, New York state"
1t is also pointed out that the agent
Of this company arrived recently at
Liverpool, and that the English manu-
factnrers may expect an increase Of
carpet exports from the states before
long.
THE fact is one which, in the pres
ent condition of the English carpet
trade, is perhaps to be regretted.
There 1t Is, however, and 1t must DO
reckoned with. From conversation
with leading buyers we are assured
that, Notwithstanding what has been
said against them, tho American car
pets are good value for the money.
For the first time In the history Of the
country the states last year shipped to
this country more carpets than we sold
to them"
And these carpets were sold profita-
bly, in England in open competition
with the English makers, without the
assistance Of any tariff protection and
in spite of the disadvantage Of ocean
freight charges.
We think the leagues subscribers
will rub their eyes when they see this
article in the American Economist or
in any OF the numerous journals in the
interior Of the country to which the
leagues weekly journal supplies tariff
matter In stereotyped plates, free Of
cost.-N. Y. Times.

1t will be seen that the customs re-
ceipts during the last half year, under
the new law, were greater in every
month than the old, and in the eggre-
gate were nearly rs per cent. greater
than those Of the corresponding months
Of the previous year under the Nc
Kinley law. The figures showing the ex-
act quantity Of dutiable and free i'm
portations for the half year have not
been completed, but those obtainable
at this time indicate that the dutiable
importations for the first half year
under the law will be from S35, 00O, 900
to $40, ZOO, 900 greater In value than
those under the corresponding months
Of the last year under the Mckinley
law, while there is also an increase In
importations of non-dutiable articles.
Thus 1t is apparent that the new law
Is increasing free importations, in
creasing dutiable importations, in.
creasing customs receipts, and will in
crease the internal evenue receipts

A shabbily dressed man in the last

Two days later a strange story ran
from one end Of the institution to the
other. The consumptive, 1t was said,

In debauchery and general ~wickedness,
wished to end his days among the very
poor and wretched. II seems he had
secretly procured pen and paper, and
had dictated his will to one of his fell
low patients.

the good people who had sweetened
his last moments; n hundred thou

by every comfort, he breathed his last.
The beautiful funeral which followed
