Letters Sent to County Supervisors Ask
ing for Co-Operation.
Isdor Jacobs, chairman of the invita-
tion committee of the Pure Food Congress,
has sent the following communication to
the Boards of Supervisors of all the coun-
ties in the State:
Gentlemen: A Pure Food Congress will be
held at the hall OF the Chamber of Commerce,
California street, in San Francisco. at 10 A. NJ,
on the 30th day of April, 1897.
The question of pure food in California being
of far-reaching Importance as effecting, not
only the health OF our people, out the standard
and demand .or our products, has enlisted the
atten tion and energies of the Manufacturers
and Producers Association now for more than
year. This organization finds, however, that
in prosecuting the work against the adultera-
ton of foods ana dealers in adulteraIed foods
in San Francisco it is simply driving these
products into the interior, aud it has become
convinced that in order to make the move Ell
fective it must be State wide. Hence, the
Manufacturers and Producers Association, in
conjunction with strong committee from the
Council Of Associated Industries, have re-
solved upon the proposed Pure Food State Con-
gress and desire that all Jortions of the State
shall be strongly and ably represented in the
said congress.
to appoint from your ablest and most public
spirited citizens al leas ten delegates to this
congress, and in the selection we beg you 10
try TO name those who you believe will
attend. We want 10 make this. If possible, the
event of the year. We would like TO see it the
greatest convention ever held in California.
1t should be so large and represen tative in
character, and positive and practical in action.
as to startle those that arc contending against
US in this contest for pure foods, good health
and the tame and good name OF California.
We trust we shall have your hearty CO.
operation in this matter, and that through
you your county will be fully end ably repre-
sented. Asking you to notify us OF your
appointments, we remain, for the bodies above
named, yours very truly.

It Led to Serious Trouble
on Eighteenth
Street.
Peter Leonard Severely Beaten
by Jerry Lynch and His
Relatives.
Leonard Was Arrested and Discharged
Yesterday, and Now the Others
Will Ee Arrested.

Peter Leonard and Jerry Lynch are
neighbors on Eighteenth street, the Tor
mer living at 1929 and the latter al 4227
Nothing disturbed the serenity OF their
lives until a few weeks ago, when Leonard
heard that Lynch had been saying that
his wife was a firt. Leonard spoke to
Lynch about it, and Lynch told him he
had said so, but be wanted 70 know why
Leonard had called his wife f1irt.
Honors were even, and they decided to
make quiet investigation. 1t resulted in
each acknowledging that he had no foun-
dation for the charge.
Leonard thought this mutual acknowl-
edgment settled the business, but Lynch
apparently was OF a different opinion, as
the sequel proved.
Last Friday evening Leonard's 5 doorbell
rang, and on opening the door he was
onfronted by Lynch, who had with him
Mrs. Mary Lynch, his wife, James Lynch,
his brother, J. Granville, his father-in-
law, and M. Granville, his brother-ln-law.
Thinking it was friendly call Leonard
invited them to come in, but he was very
much surprised when Lynch knocked him
down, and, assisted by the others, gave

self Leonard drew a pocket-kniie and cut
Jerry Lynch on the right arm.
After bostilities had ceased Leonard
went to the Seventeenth-street station
and asked for the arrest of his assailants.
While telling his story Policeman J. J.
Kern, who mad heard of the row, made his
appearance, and placed Leonard under ar
rest on the charge of assault with deadly
weapon for cutting Lynch on the arm.
Leonard appeared before acting Police
Judge Carroll yesterday morning and was
defended by Attorney I. F. Graham.
After hearing the evidence the Judge
promptly dismissed the case, remarking
that Leonard was justified in using the
knife TO defend himself and that Lynch
should have been in the dock instead OF
Leonard.
Leonard Immediately swore out COM
plants charging Jerry Lynch, Mrs. Mary
Lynch, James Lynch, ]. Granville and Nj.
Granville with battery, and the Judge
will have an opportunity OF again listen
ing to the story OF the troubles OF the
Leonard and Lynch families.

IMPORTANT TAX SUIT.
Another Big Claim Filed by Banking
Institution Against the City
and County

An action at law has been commenced
by the San Francisco Savings Union
against the City and County OF San Fran
cisco for the collection of S31,375 IS, al.
legged to be due for taxes paid under pro-
test.
The claim of the plaintiff is based en-
the alleged error of Assessor Siebe in de-
manding the payment of taxes on per-
sonal property said to be outside the State
of California on the day the asse ssment
was levied. The banks officers set up
tn q it is not material, 80 far as the A.
SCISSOR is concerned, where the property is
| owned; that he has no authority to assess
| 1t unless 1t Is in his district on the first
| Monday in March.
Assessor Siebe held a contrary opinion
and levied the assessment in accordance
| with his Information touching the owner
| ship of the personal property. He believed
| that under the law the money ought to be
taxed here because it is actually owned
here, though actually outside the State on
the first Monday in March.
In order to avoid the penalty for delin-
| quency the officers of the bank paid the
taxes under protest and brought suit for
recovery as allowed by law.
A dozen suits of this character are now
pending against the City and County OF
San francisco, involving more than half
million dollars, and the importance of
| the litigation has led City Counselor
| Creswell TO devote great care to the WORK
of preparing for the trial of the questions
| involved. The matter has not yet been
adjudIcated in this City, but some of the
cases will be heard soon. In view of the
great interests at stake, the Supreme Court
will, of course, be called upon to finally
settle the dispute. Ii the City should fail
in the litigation it would be serious loss
to the public revenues, and ultimately
would have the effect of greatly increasing
the rate OF the tax levy.

WORKING P|NGREt'S PLAN
A Tract of Land in the City
Has Been Secured as a
Starter.
There the Unemployed May Be
Taught Pract cally How to
Farm.

Major WinchelI, chief of the social de-
partment of the Salvation Army, is rap
idly perfecting his plans for carrying out
the colonization scheme of the Salvation
| Army.
Mrs. d. NJ. Morey has offered him a
small tract of land at Colma, on the line
of the San Mateo electric line, which, If he
finds upon examination that it serves the
purpose, he will turn into an agricultural
school, SO to speak.
ITO get men down upon the land, with
| instructions to dig their sustenance out of
the earth, is good in theory, but in prac-
| tice it is expecting a good deal of them if
they have never tried their hand at it be-
FORE" said Major Wlnchell yesterday.
'PIngree's plan contem plated a little in
| struction in the art of tilling the soil, and
| that is what we propose to do. | think We
| will have no difficulty in getting land,
both in and out of the City, and on most
| favora bic terms.
This at Coima Is easily accessible by
electric car from the City. There Is a
house there and everything in shape to
| go TO work. We will put applicants for
| land there first and see what they can do
| with il, or teach them what TO do with it,
| before we send them into the country"
Speaking of his woodchoppers' camp,
| the ior said: 1T Is succeeding g
famously. We have now about twenty
men at the place. They are working
hard and are perfectly contented.
I'VE issue Certificates OF the work done.
which certificates are good at the COM
missary when we get that institution
| going. They pay rs 40 cents day for
| board, and are enabled TO save about 81 so
a day. The problem just now With us is
to provide the necessaries pending the
time when we sell the wood. The men
insist upon the market price at the time
of sale-S3 a cord-and Will not sell for
less. They pay US the 40 cents a day in
wood, remem Der, Tot in money. We will
have % sell it at reduced price, perhaps,
