TARIFF.

eve recognize the government must
have revenue with which to pay the
expenses thereof, but in view of the
constant agitation of the questions in
volved, in tariff legislation and the IN
settled condition of business brought
about by such agitation, we demand
that Congress pass a law providing for
a non-partisan tariff commission, to
which commission all the laboring,
manufacturing, agricultural, and min
ing INDUSTRIES of the country shall be
represented, the members of which
commission shall be selected from the
different States Of the Union, which
said commission shall collect all the
facts and data as TO the operation of
the various laws passed on the subject
of tariff, and shall annually report the
same to Congress for it's information
to the end that Congress may have au-
thentic knowledge as to the operation
of said tariff laws, so that the same
may be, from time to time, amended
in the interest Of justice alike to the
manufacturer, the agriculturist, the
miner, and the American laborer so
that its protective features, if any.
shall extend to the whole body of Am
erican industry. And we demand that

ment Of Either Race.

PLEAsANTON. CAL, April 4. The
Pleasanton Hop Company has entered into
q contract with Charley Fong by which the
latter is to cultivate and harvest the hops
on fifty acres of land lying adjacent to
this place and which is part of the
Rancho del Vale. Fong is to have half
of the crop as pay for his work.
Last year the ladies of this place OBJ
iected strongly to Chinese help and offered
to furnish white labor if the company
made the change, which they finally con-
sented to do. Labor Commi ssioner Fitz-
gerald opened labor bureau in San Fran
cisco and hundreds of families were
shipped here. The result, however, was
strike and the crop was nearly lost before
affairs were finally settled.
Charges were made against certain per-
sons and there was an official investigation
held, occupying nearly a week, but moth
ing ever came of it. The company this
year decided to try two plans, for they
have also contracted with f. P. Earl and
II. R. Presbrey to stake, hill, string and
cultivate seventy-fve acres of hops for the
season at $11 so per acre.

OUT.oF.TOWN READERS PROTEST
They Complain Because City People

Priced Dictionaries,

They Complain Because City People
Secured Most OF Those Low
Priced Dictionaries.
To say that the recent notable distribu-
tion of the Encyclopedia Dictionary was
a very great success is to speak entirely
within the truth.
1t was originally inaugurated by the
Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndicate, to Sc
cure favorable publicity for the work by
placing 500 sets in that many cultured
homes, where they could be com pared with
other dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Those dwelling at more remote points
were at a disadvantage, for by the time
letters asking for inform alton had been re-
ceived and answered, and before the final
application with remittance arrived, the
distribution had closed.
1t is just these more remote communi-
ties that the Syndicate especially desires
to reach, because the work, being at once
a dictionary and an encyclopedia, has a
special value to those who do not enjoy
easy access to large Libraries or reading
rooms.
Then, again, very many who have sent
in since the close of the distribution have
stated that if the Syndicate would still
furnish the volumes at the Introductory
price of 81 down and 81 25 per month for
one year, the recipient would take pains to
call the attention of others to the work.
Believing, therefore, that further num-
Der of Introductory sets can be placed to
advantage, especially in somewhat remote
communities, the Syndicate has decided
to reopen the distribution for one week
only, and all orders sent in during this
time will be filled. it being necessary that
the application. if made personally, be not
later than 10 o'clock on Saturday evening,
April IL, or, if by mail or telegraph, that
the letter be postmarked, or message dated

ATTEMPT ANOTHER GRAB.
The Southern Pacific Wants a
Pretty Big Slice of the
Water Front.
LAID TRACKS ON EAST STREET.
A Conflict With the Harbor Commits.
sioners' Police Was Imminent
for a Time.

The Southern Pacific attempted to make
another waterfront grab yesterday. Act
ing under instructions, presumably from
Coils P. Huntington, gang of men de-
scended upon East street and proceeded
to lay railroad tracks.
The work was begun about 100 yards
south OF the ferries, and nearly 80 feet of
the roadway was torn up before the State
employees discovered what was going OH.
Then they descended upon the employees
OF the octopus, and in few minutes the
latter were put to -out. They left a por-
ton Of the street all torn up, however, and
Sergeant Jack Hayes of the Harbor Com
missioners' special police had to threaten
them with arrest before they would restore
the broken pavement.
In the days of old the Southern Pacific
used the water front from Market street to
Mission as a dumping ground for its
freight cars. The steamers brought them
from Oakland and the corporation used the
water front as freight yard. When the
belt road was started the nuisance was re-
moved, and the hay and lum Der that used
to make East street hideous was moved
farther north. Latterly the Southern Pacific

Offering, and it came to the conclusion that
the cheapest way out of the difficulty was
to steal q portion of the States water front.
Had it not been for the vigilance of Chief
Engineer Holmes the chances are that the
scheme would have been q success.
As matters are at present the employees
Of the railroad are resting on their oars,
awaiting a chance to begin work. Sergeant
Jack Hayes has a squad of men on the
scene, and they will remain on watch all
night. Ii an attempt is made to begin
work again all the workmen will be placed
under arrest and trouble will follow.

what he was DOING" said Chief Engineer
Holmes yesterday, "he said he was re-
pairing the track. Now / know enough
about railroad road beds to know that he
was at work on has not been laid over
three months, and it was impossible for it
to be out of repair. I told him he was go-
ing to put in switch, and finally he ad-
mitted the truth Of my assertion. Then I
ordered him to stop work as he had re-
ceived no permission from the Harbor
Commissioners. He refused and then I
called in the police. OF course, if permis-
sion is obtained from the commission then
they can go ahead, but until that permis-
sion is Obtained they cannot lay rail on
East street or any State property"
The Southern Pacific officials deny that
they wanted to steal any State property,
but nevertheless, Judging them by the
past, Chief Engineer Holmes thought 1t
would be better to be sure than sorry.

PRICE SENT TO PRISON,
The Bookseller Found Guilty
by the Jury on Two
Counts.
BAIL REFUSED THE PRISONER
He Sent Obscene Literature Through
the Mails-Will Be Sentenced
Tuesday.

Warren E. Price was yesterday found
guilty of sending obscene literature
through the United States mails on two
counts by jury in the United States Dis
trict Court. The accused had been in
dicted on five counts by the United States
Grand Jury. His trial excited much in
terest, as Price had many friends who
made a hard fight to save him, but the
evidence which Postal Inspector Erwin
gathered against him seemed to at once
convince the Judge and jury of his guilt
Price was remanded to the custody of
the United States Marshal and was locked
up in the County Jail. He will be SEN
fenced on Tuesday next. Attorney Has
kell said that he would move for new
trial and an arrest of judgment. Bail was
refused the prisoner.
The penalty of the crime for which
Price was convicted is from one to five
years imprisonment and $1,000 to 5000 fine,
or both, on each count within the discre-
ton of the court.
Price took his conviction to heart. He
moved restlessly in his chair when the
jury came in and when the verdict was
read by the clerk he suffered comp plete
collapse. He was especially emotional
when deputy marshal led him away to
jail. Price is rather a bright young man
and when on the witness stand he showed
an extensive knowledge of salacious litera-
ture. The hooks he sent to Postal In
spector Erwin in answer to decoy letter,
inclosing money order, and for which
particular offense he was convicted, were
of the vilest character and aroused severe
comment from Judge Morrow when he de-
ilvered his charge to the Jury.
Assistant District Attorney Slessineer,
who conducted the prosecution of Price,
said yesterday that it was not probable
that a new trial would be allowed by the
court. He said that the point raised as to
the sending of decoy letter to detect vio-
Iation of the postal laws had been upheld
by the United States Supreme Court as 1t
was the only means by which such crimes
could be detected.

THE BRIDGE FIGHT.

Petitions Being Circulated by the Web
ster-Street Business Men.
ALAMEDA, CAL. April 4.-The agita-
ton Of the Webster-street bridge question
has become general, and petitions in oppo-
sition to the abandonment of the pre- sent
county bridge are receiving many sig ma
lures of the residents in all parts of Ala
media. The petitions are to be pr esented
to Colonel Suter, the United States en-
gineer. on Tuesday.
The chief arguments used by men who
are actively in opposition to the change of
route from Webster street to Alice street,
as already set forth in THE GALL, are that
enormous damage to the West End bust
ness interests would result, and tnat the
construction of the new roadway to the
Alice-street bridge would be q great ex-
pense to the taxpayers.
There are many who openly advocate
the change from Webster street to Alice
street, but no action has yet been taken by
these.
