BY DRY MEASURE.

The Sealer of Weights and Measures Ia
After the Berry Dealers.
The strawberry dealers of this city re-
ceived something of a surprise yesterday
when James M. Crawford, city sealer. went
around and notified them that in the future
they must sell their berries by dry meas
ure, instead of in the small boxes, as they
came in crates.
These boxes are sold for quart boxes,
when they are pronounced far short of n
quart, and the city sealer regards such ac-
tion violation of the law, as well as a
swindle upon the public.
OF course the dealers do not like the
order, as 1t means big reduction in their
revenue, but the consumers are filed with
delight.

VERY BAD YEAST
A Ranch Cook Substitutes Arsenic for
Baking Powder

OAKLAND. May 27-Fred Beeson,
an employe on the ranch of Harry Morse

powder in making batch of bread to
day. Beeson is dead and one other is
dying and several others are dangerous
ly i'll. Beeson was a new hand on the
ranch. Today it was found necessary
to secure cook and Beenson was asked
If he could fill the position. He said he
could do plain cooking. He was put to
work in the kitchen and his first work
was to bake up batch of bread and
biscuits. When looking around the
kitchen for soda he found some white
powder in baking powder can. He as
sumed it was baking powder and added
three heaping teaspoonsful to the dough.
Beeson set aside some of the dough for
biscuits and then baked a batch Of
bread.
The dinner was served and Beeson
and one other man partook heartily of
the biscuits. The others ate more spar-
ingly, with the result stated above. An
investigation proved that the powder
used was arsenic.

SMUGGLING CHINESE
Vermont Lawyers Enjoy Very Prof
liable Business


WASHINGTON, May 27.-In response
to a resolution Of inquiry, the attorney
general today sent to the senate the
correspondence relating to the illegal
entry Of Chinese into the United States
The documents inclosed cover the snug
Cling of Chinese at the ports of Platts-
burg, N. T.. and st. Albans. Newport
and other ports in Vermont, on the pre-
tense that the immigrant Chinese are
natives and therefore citizens Of the
United States.
A plan Of procedure IL to have Chinese
at the place Of entry swear they are the
fathers Of immigrants and that the
.'sons" were born in the United States.
This oath, under the law, insures the
release Of any Chinese arrested for vio-
lating the immigration law. In letter
from District Attorney Pitcher, dated
Oswego N. Y, he Gays the practice of
importing Chinese after this manner
has long been in practice at st. Albans
and other places in Vermont. He says
there are attorneys regularly engaged
in assisting Chinese immigrants to
evade the law, and some Of them in
Vermont are making from $4,000 to $780,
900 year in this manner.
He adds that he has no doubt that the
Chinese come under stipulation to
pay the lawyers a stated compensation.
San Francisco is almost always given
as the place of birth and 1t is impossible
to discredit the evidence.
District Attorney Senter Of Vermont,
In letter, strenuously denies the report
of combination to promote this class
Of immigration in order to increase the
fees Of Federal officials. and sayc he is
anxious to find means Of putting a
stop to it.

RIGHTS AT HOME
A Man at Home May Defend
Himself

SAN FRANCISCO. May 27-The SUI
preme court rendered an interesting de-
cision this afternoon relative to the
rights Of citizens while in their own
homes. The opinion was in the case Of
Frank A. Lewis, convicted of man.
slaughter in Shasta some time ago.
Lewis was charged with killing his
brother-in-law Farrell by name. The
two men had quarreled and Brother-in-
law Farrell advanced threateningIy
with a singletree in his hand. Lewis
picked UP a rifle and fired. Lewis went
to town to give himself up and Farrelrs
sister put him to bed and prepared
bandages pending the arrival Of the
physician. While lying in bed Farrell
cut his throat with a clasp knife.
In instructing the jury in the case
the judge said that Lewis might have
evaded murder had he retreated, and
ON this showing Lewis was convicted.
The decision of the supreme court says
that man attacked in his own house Is
not called upon to retreat from any
aggressor. even if the life Of the aggres-
sor is in the balance. On this point did
the case of Lewis hinge, and new trial
was ordered.
