cation on Jackson and Kearny streets, and
finally became badly mixed up in hori-
zontal position.
Police Officer McGovern separated them,
and then it was found that Rothschild had
received from some small sharp instru-
ment wound in the right side of his head,
from which the blood flowed profusely.
Rothschild was sent to the Receiving
Hospital and Burns was taken to the Cali
fornia-street police station. On the way to
the station Burns threw away a lock pick.
Accordingly two charges were entered
against him, one for assault with deadly
weapon and the other for having burglar
tools in his possession,
The policeman said he was an all-round
crook and opium iend, and that the stab
bing was the outcome of an all-night's de-
bauch the two men had INDUCED in.

GONE OUT OF BUSINESS,
The California Paper Company
Closes Its Doors for the
Last Time.
Lack of Profits CauSeSa Suspension.
The Plant Cost a Quarter of
Million.

The California Paper Company, the
largest paper-manufacturing concern on
the Pacific Coast, has closed its doors for
good, and its big plant at Stockton is now
idle and given over 10 scampering mice
and the spiders.
Seventeen years ago number of en-
thusiastic capitalists, who saw, as they
thought, a great future in the paper
manufacturing industry, subscribed a
large amount of money and built splen-
did mill on the banks of the creek at
Stockton. For some reason the new con-
Germ did not pay, but it kept pegging
away, putting in new and improved ma
chinery as fast as it came into the market
and cheerfully subscribing more money
whenever needed.
A few years ago the concern was moor
porated and skilled manager put in
charge, out still the mills did not pay.
though many large contracts were taken
and every chance given the plant to pay
its expenses.
In January last meeting of the board
of directors was held, and it was then de-
The hundred or more men who were en-
ployed at the mills were laid off and the
doors closed.
Recently it was decided not to reopen,
but go out of business entirely.
William Pierce Johnson, once manager
of the concern, was seen at the company's
offices, at 722 Montgomery street, yester-
day, and confirmed the rumor that the
mills had closed for good.
The California Paper Company went
out of business" he said, simply and
solely because the paper business cannot
be made to pay on this coast and because
its stockholders tired of putting their
money into business which would not
pay under any circumstances, and which
had swallowed up thousands of dollars
without cent of return.
''The plant at Stockton, the first build
ing OF which was erected seventeen years
ago, cost between $3.50. 900 and $500, 600, and
was the largest and best in California.
Fine grades of paper, as well as some of
the paper on which the metropolitan
dailies are printed, came from Its machin-
cry. The business transacted was large,
but the manner in which some of the raw
materials had to be procured made it i'm
possible to compete with Eastern concerns.
California does not produce the raw mate
rails in sufficient quantities or cheap
enough to make paper manufacturing pay.
This plant will probably never be oper-
ated again, for the mem bers of the present
corporation will hardly be foolish enough
to put in more money, and in the face of
what has occurred another company could
hardly be induced to take it up. The con-
Germ does not owe one dollar"

How will the big tax levy affect the real

How do real estate owners and dealers

Answers were sought to these questions
in the busy thoroughfares yesterday after
noon by THE CALL. With scarcely an ex-
ception the answers condemned the big
tax levy. 1t was everywhere looked upon
as handicap to the business progress and
development of the City.
Mr.. Baldwin of Baldwin & Hammond
said: ~ do not see how we can avoid the

repudiating certain of our obligations as a
city, and also fail to carry on improve
ments that are really necessary in street
and other forms of work.

HE rs NOT INSANE.
Frank Comyns, the Accused Burglar
and Robber, Examined Before the
Insanity Commissioners


An unsuccessful attempt was made
Wednesday to get Frank Comyns, charged
with robbery and burglary, declared in
sane.
Attorney Comyns in support OF the COM
plant told Judge Slack of his brother hav-
ing received an injury to his head when
twelve years of age, and since then he has
been acting queerly. He detailed certain
incidents in support of the insanity plea
one being that he had attempted to kill
him.
Detectives Egan and Silvey produced the
"jimmy' and revolver found upon Comyns
when arrested, and told of the burglaries
and robbery he had conn tilted. They in
sisted that he was perfectly sane, and the
Commissioners agreed with them and or
dered that Comyns be returned to the City
Prison.
The cases against Comyns and Goggin
were called in Judge Joacnimsen's court
yesterday, and the preliminary examina-
ton was set for Wednesday next.

are proverbial combination. The hearty
man who is always laughing doesn't
have any trouble with his digestion, 1t
has been said that laughing makes peo-
pie healthy. The truth is that health
makes people laugh.
There isn't any other thing so essential
to health as regularity in the action of
the bowels. Most all sickness starts with
some arrangement of the digestive func-
TONS Good digestion means good, pure
blood, and that means strength. Once
let the bowels become c1ogged with
refuse matter, and the whole system is
deranged. Impure, poisonous matter
gets into the blood and plants the seeds
for all sorts of sickness.
Whenever there is stoppage of the
intestinal action, help should be given
Immediately. Usually a mild, gentle
laxative is all that is necessary. vio-
lent, wrenching, gripping cathartic is
never needed. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets are the most pleasant and successful
remedy for occasional or chronic consti-
patton, or costiveness. They are tiny,
suear-coated anti-bilious granules that
even the smallest child can easily take.
They act in perfect accord with nature
and produce no gripping or other disagree
able feeling. They should be taken at
the first indication of digestive trouble.
They stop sour stomach, belching,
"heart-burn,' flatulence and sick head
ache. They cure constipation perrna-
nent1y. You can stop taking them after
the bowels are thoroughly regulated.
Their help lasts. You do not become a
slave to their use as with other pills.

A LATER REPORT.

New Orleans, March ia thick fog
early this morning was THE veil behind
which the desperate white levee labor
ers gathered and which they penetrated
with Winchester rifles all aimed at col
ored non-union worSmen on the ships
loading at the docks. The attack was
made at points several miles apart
Just before the arrival Of the police,
and as a result there are half a dozen
corpses and dozen or so Of wounded
men. The police saw the attack but
no arrests were made, they claiming
they were too few to cope with the un-
expected outbreak.
The day before the massacre all was
quiet and the governor saw no grounds
for interference; but today the business
men are denouncing both the governor
and the police. The militia is In read
mess to move and an appeal to the
federal government has virtually been
made; and even the foreign consuls
have decided to join in the move for
peace at any price. The causes which
led ito the trouble have been of long
standing and grew out of an attempt
of the ships agents and Others inter-
ested to reduce the rates, while the
screwmen claim that the colored men
who were given a share of the work
under agreement made secret cuts and
violated the agreement in order to OBJ
tain more work, and gradually crowd
the white men off.
