THEY WANT OUR DOLLARS
An English Woman's Appeal for Amer
lean Tourists.

Never, no, never before, have so many
Americans been seized with the inten-
ton of visiting Great Britain as during
the last few months. During June and
July London will be crowded with men
and women hailing from all parts of the
United States in the autumn our health
and pleasure resorts should be the scene
of their annual merrymaking and
camping out" And we ought to be
ready to receive the strangers right roy
ally, and return in some way the bound
less kindness and hospitality which they
heap upon us.
In a letter l recently read from GER
tain young English decadent who has
been doing the round of the American
cities. he remarks: The Americans
simply love; they are so wonderfully
sympathetic TO one! There is no trouble
they will not take, or personal inconven-
ience they will not suffer. if in any way
they can render one a service" This is
true hospitality. in these bad times of
depression in trade, it would be as much
TO our own advantage as to theirs not
only to welcome, but retain, the Ameri-
cans in England as long as possible. \ OF
all Americans are rich, though most are
generous. We are sadly i'll need of their
dollars. but need not be extortionate for
all that
Dressmakers and milliners have dis
covered that an American woman is be-
ginning to like nice London frOcks as
well as nice Paris ones. But If the Lon
don dressmaker charges her just the same
price as the French one, she-lhe Amer
ican-will prefer, from force of old habit,
10 give Partisan her order. Gloves, old
silver, bric-a- -brac, pictures, quaint fur
niture and leather work Americans are
glad to purchase here. Though many
afford to go to the big hotels. there are
thousands who, accustomed to their own
omparatively modest boarding houses,
would be glad 10 stay in the English coun-
try during the summer and fall" if they
could find comfortable and decent hotels
where they might stay at from two to
four guiueas head week, all included.

of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales
would reap splendid harvest annually of

checked. one does not see why the day OF

tainly, it is none too soon to call halt

"a popular writer on social philosophy
has recently said that the only way in
which Christianity can fully be put into
practice is 10 possess the State If this
means that completely Christianized
State would be great support to relig-
ion, the statement Is true. If 1t means
that Christianity can achieve success
only as 1t becomes organic with civil
government, the history of religions
progress indicates the exact opposite" "
remarks the AdUdnce (COng.) of Chicago.
I'VE have now well learned the lesson
that any attempt on the part OF the
church to modify or control the State by
organic connection Herewith will in the
end prove Improbable. The Puritan set
tiers of Massachusetts at first attempted
a Ghurch-State by Ordaining that mono
but church members should hold office,
thus putting the State under the control
of the religious order. The same with
limitations was true in other colonies, the
annual courts being the assemblies Of the
churches met TO enact both ecclesiastical
and civil laws. But the spirit of liberty

of both. -

A Committee Pleading With the Spring VAL
ley Water Company.
The Holly Park Improvement Club is UP
to the times ard keenly alive to the inter
ests of its promising locality. Circulars
have been sent out by its executive COM
mittee to nonresident property-owner
and it is expected that the membership of
the club will be greatly increased as a re-
suit.
What is most agitating it just now is the
water supply. a committee was chosen
some tine ago to visit the Spring Valley
Water Company and ascertain if possible
when the Clarendon Heights reservoir
would supply the district. 1t did not get
much satisfaction other than the informa-
ton that test had been made of the reser-
voir and the company could not give it
any assurance OF water from that source
A second call will be made upon the COM
pany and the committee will report to the
next meeting.
Holly Park residents are DESTROYS of
obtaining better mail facilities. 1t is
thought advisable to send a petition to
Postmaster McCoppin backed up by the
students of st. Mary's College.

ALAMEDA,

The building owned by Mrs. Heitmann,
on Railroad avenue, near Mastick station,
was destroyed by fire at an early hour yes
terday morning. The building was oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Blakelev,
who moved into it only few days ago
The fire started from a coal-oil stove or
the first floor and was discovered by neigh
bors. The inmates were sleeping in the
upper story and escaped in their night
clothes by crawling through a window
on to the veranda, reaching the ground by
means of ladder. Mrs. Heitmann is now
en- route TO Europe and carried an in
surance of $4,000 in the Hanover company.
! The Blakeley's lost all of their furniture
and clothing, which was insured for $500
in San Francisco, but did not have it
| changed when they moved to Alameda.
| The loss on the building is estimated at
| $4,000.
| More Protests Filed.
Z. B. Mastick and A J. Ralston, trustees
| of the Sather estate, filed a protest with

| grading OF Court street. A majority of the
! property-owners on Fountain street also
| made protest against the improvement OF
that thoroughfare. Property-owners own
ing 296 feet frontage on Taylor place have
protested against grading and macadamiz-
ing that thoroughfare also. All three of
the protests represent a majority and the

Rough Treatment.
Fred Mandler, a baker, attended the
picnic given by the San Francisco Bakers
Verein, at San Rafael Sunday. He
boarded a train when ready TO return

ARREsTING PRoPERrY-owNERs
They Totally Failed to Observe the
Weed Ordinance

Weed Ordinance.
The ordinance requiring property owners
and agents for real estate 10 keep the
space between their fences and the side
walks and between the sidewalks and the
curbs free from weeds has led to serious
complications. A large number of war
rants have been sworn out for violations
of the law and will be served to-day.
Among those who viii be taken into GUS
tody are: G. W. Russell, northwest cor
ner Twenty and West streets; Rosina
b. Dennis, southwest corner Lydia and
West; Peoples Home Savings Bank, south
west corner Twenty-eighth and Myrtle
James Butler. southeast corner Milton and

Twenty-second and Myrtle; Walter f.
Lewis, northwest corner Twenty second
and Myrtle; Ruth a. Wellman, eXecutriX,
southeast corner Twenty-second and
Myrtle.
A number OF those who are to be ar
rested have expressed a determination to
fight the measure and the validity of the
ordinance will be thoroughly tested.
The manner in which the warrants were
made out has caused considerable friction
between the Street and Police depart
ments, and Superintendent Harrison of
the former branch of the municipal gov
eminent is making caustic comments on
the manner in which the Chief of Police is
Usurping the duties of both offices.
The usual mode of procedure in enforc-
ing the ordinance was for the police to
notify the Superintendent OF Streets of
those who were not obey;ng the ordinance
the delinquents telling them to clear away
the weeds within the time specified by the
order. In case they did not obey, the
Prosecuting Attorney of the Police Court
was notified to draw up warrants for their
arrest, and the documents were signed by
the Superintendent.
Instead Of following this course, the in
cumbent of the office of Chief OF Police had
his men locate the offenders, serve the
notices and then went to the Prosecuting
Attorney for warrants.
Superintendent Harrison knew nothing
OF the matter until the warrants were pre-
sented to him to sign.
at seems to me that Chief Schaffer is
getting very energetic all at once" he said
land is usurping far more of the duties OF
the Office of Superintendent of Streets than
he has any right TO. 1t was his place to
have report made to me of any violations
OF the ordinance which his men might ob-
serve and leave the matter in my hands
until the police were needed to serve the
warrants. In future | shall try and see
that my office does the work which belongs

The ground on which Mrs. POLICEMAN

and the story she tells of her domestic diff

was not long, however, before POLICEMAN
began to be abusive and led my daughter a
cat-and-dog life.
-Four years ago she left him on account
of his brutality and sought shelter in my
house, but prevailed upon her to return
after he had promised to treat her better.
On several other occasions she would have
left him but for my Intervention. Now
the matter has gone SO far that she can
stand it no longer and she will get her
divorce.
Captain POLICEMAN knows of her intention
to separate from him permanently and
will probably place no obstacles in her
way. We hope to settle the matter quietly
and without going to trial if possible
The Polemans have two children, one a

L. h. Gurri Seriously Wounded by
Shoemaker Paul Genleni.

As the result of quarrel over the price
of repairing pair of shoes, T. B. Gurri, an
Italian scavenger, living at 657 Linden
street, was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital last evening suffering from five severe
knife wounds, which were inflicted by
Paul GenIeni, an Italian shoemaker.
Gurri left pair of shoes at Genlenis
shop at Third and Myrtle streets to be re-
paired, and called for them last evening.
The shoemaker asked a dollar for doing
the work. Gurri demurred at the price,
saying that 10 cents was enough. a
quarrel ensued, eliminating in Genleni
using his shoeknife on Gurri, with the
result stated. One thrust inflicted a deep
wound on Curtis breast, another pene-
trated the hip, while a third went two
inches into his neck. His wounds are
serious, but not necessarily fatal. Genleni
