scavengers May Boycott.

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 15.-There is a
serious difference between the scavengers
and the crema tory people and the FORMER
have threatened a boycott if they cannot
get better terms than exist at present
An agreement was reached to-day by
the scavengers under The terms of which
they will refuse 10 collect from. houses ex-
cent on certain days. In this manner, in
stead of delivering an average amount
each day to the crematory, they will de-
liver large quantities at one time, which
cannot be handled, and as the contract
with the city requires that all material be
burned within a certain number OF hours
after delivery, the scayengers hope by
this means to create trouble.

NOT LEARNED 10 TALK,
Mrs. Carmen Schwartz Is the
Most Childish Woman
on Record.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
908 Broadway, Jan. Is.

QUO tolOdondy, IL. J
The most childish woman and mother
that has come before the courts of this
county is Carmen Peralta Schwartz. She
is % years of age and has one child, but is
so simple that Judge Greene only per-
mitted her husband to become her
guardian on the condition that he would
place her in some institution where she
could be educated enough to enable her
to act with discretion.
Mrs, Schwartz is unfortunate enough to
be the owner of an estate valued at about
SIS 600. When on the wituess-stand
Judge Greene could not believe that she
was really unable to answer his simple
questions. She did not know her name If
she saw it, could not add even the
simplest figures, did not know how old
she was, and, in fact, could tell the
court nothing but that she knew she cared
for her little child.
When her case was in court q few
months ago Judge Greene severely repri-
manded her husband for not doing any
thing toward improving the mental con-
dition OF his wife. Some of the courts re-
marks conveyed more than hint that
Schwartz might not be anxious for his
wife 10 know 100 much. Since giving the
promise to educate her Schwartz has neg
iected to keep it. A few weeks ago he
appeared in court with a request to draw
money from his wife's estate. Judge
Greene reprimanded him, and stated that
he would entertain motion to woke the
letters and appoint new guardian. To-
day Constable G. f. Weldon filed a petit
tion TO be. appointed guardian in the place
of Schwartz.
Since his marriage Schwartz has got
into trouble by the too free use of his
knife, and his trial for assaulting w. H..
Whipple with deadly weapon is nov
pending. The p tition of Weldon will be
heard next Monday.
The husband and wife converse in a
iargon that closely resembles baby pratt

He Is Anxious For the World

The Largest Item Is the Amount
Spent by Committeem IN on
Election Day.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcrsco CALL, !


90S Broadway, Jan. 10. J
Chairman Brosuahan Of the Democratic
County Committee has a vein OF humor in
his politics He does not believe that the
Old county committee should have too
much notoriety, and so he has prepared
an interesting document that sets forth
what his committee has been doing since
the juvenile orator of Nebraska made his
bow to the country.
While the old committee is being sued
for its bills and. the ball of responsibility
is being tossed from one to the other, the
new committee is congratuating itself
and is making known the fact that it has
paid all its campaign expenses. 1t was
not known before that it was neces sary
for Democrats, even when in a state OF
fusion with the Populists, as was the case
during the last campaign, to make public
the fact that they paid their bills, but
after the unfortunate experience Of their
predecessors Mr.. Brosnahan evidently
thought il advisable to establish a new
precedent.
There are many interesting facts men
toned IN the statement, and the freedom
from debt is certainly new feeling for
Democratic com mitteemen. 1t IS true
that the party did not hold its ground in
the county during the last campaign, but
this they attribute to the actions of their
predecessors.
The names of several well-known Dem
ocrats are not on the list of contri butors,
but this Is accounted for by TACT that
they belonged to the gold party. Among
these are J. J. White, postmaster, J. West
Martin, the banker, and it is also noted
that ". ". FOote does not appear in the
list Among those who bore the brunt of
the expense are W. J. Dingee, John Hack
EFT, r. NJ. Fitzgerald, J. NJ. English. T. c.
Co5gan, Frank Drum and c. Brown.
Warren B. English, Collector OF the Port
at that time, and mis- brother, w. D, did
not contribute to the campaign, and the
list shows, as nothing else could, how
completely broken up were the old party
lines.
The fireworks that were let off Jointly by
Populists and Democrats cost $l26, while
1924 was paid for bands. All the ex-
penses amount to $12 less than the sum
collected. The largest item which ap-
pears reads: Furnished to members of
the County Committee on election day,
S245." This amount, it has been calculated
would furnish one 'refreshment" tonearly
every Democratic voter who went to the
polls.
In conclusion Mr.. Brosnahan. with
slight touch of irony, says: "All bills con-
tracted by the officers of this committee
have been paid and we hold receipts for
the same. l wish 10 thank the members
of the County Committee for their assist
ance and energy displayed during the last
campaign"

Several months ago, Miss Cora Watrous,

nervous disorder which threatened 90 end
her life. The first symptom of the oilmcnt
was a loss Of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and CONF
planned Of a feeling Of extreme lassitudc.
This was followed by severe pains in the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly crazed with a terrible headache and
nothing could be procured TO give her relief
Finally, after trying numerous remedies,
a physician was called and began treating
the patient. lie said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided 10 procure The services of
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased. the
pains in her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery.
II was at this time that Mr. Watrous heard

mended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them a trial. a box Of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there was marked improvement in the
girls condition. After q half dozen boxes
had been used the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time pre-

She stopped taking the medicine and by
