INSULT TO INJURY.

policeman John Marshall Is likely to
ind himself In serious trouble. Last Fri
DAY night he arrested a 6-year-old boy
named Walter Cushman, the son of u
letter carrier, who lives at the corner of
l street and Sixteenth avenue, and booked
MIN for some public institution. Marshall
claimed that he met the boy on Haight
street, and as he declared that he had
been ill-treated by his father, he decided
10 lock him up. The boy was then sent
to the City Prison in the patrol wagon
and given in charge of the matron.
Realizing that Marshall had made a
serious mistake in arresting the boy,
cold Feet Whitman, who was in charge
OF the central Station, attempted to ex-
plain the outrage by saying that young
Cushman might have committed some
theft and was detected in the act by the
officer. Two citizens, on learning that the
boy was in the City Prison, Immediately
hunted up Justice Barry who Is acting
TOT Judge Low. and induced him to re-
lease the youthful prisoner on his own
recognizance. Maddened at their action
Whitman proceeded to ''call them down.

A few minutes later the parents of the
boy visited police headquarters and en-
tered vigorous kick against the arrest

presumably concluding that Marshall was
in the wrong, did not compel the boy to
appear before a police magistrate yes

cases.
To a Call reporter Cushman Sr. said
that the arrest of the boy was a high
handed outrage.
why this policeman arrested him" he
remarked, rs beyond my comprehension.
Before the boy was released by order of
Justice Barry l went to Whitman and
asked him to release him. He not only
insulted me, but ordered me out of his
office. If a 6-year-old boy can be thrown
in prison simply because he happens to
stray away from home it is about time
that the Police Commissioners should call
a halt"
Marshall in his report of Whitman says
that after he had taken the boy into
custody his mother appeared and start
ed TO explain why he had run away from
home. She claimed, according TO his
story, that the father had been rather Sc

FILED A FRIENDLY ACTION.
A Member Sues the 7. M. @. A. for
the Purpose of Bringing About
Desired End.

A friendly suit was brought against the
Young Mems Christian Association yes
terday by one OIL it's members for the pur-
pose of cutting down the interest account
on mortgages on the present lot and build
ing. Should the proceeding be successful.
some friend of the institution will buy in
the property, remortgage it and hold it in
trust until the Sutter-street property is
sold and the entire Indebtedness Cancelled.
One of the executive board in speaking
about the matter yesterday explained the
present action.
The articles Of Incorporation under
which the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton exists" he said, contain a clause pro-
hibiting the mortgaglng of property
owned by the association. When the
present site at the northeast corner OF
Mason and Ellis streets was purchased
there was mortgage Of $50, 900 on the lot
which was transferred with the lot to the
corporation. There was also a Judgment
OF $4,000 due Mahony Bros, builders, on
completion of the building. The associa-
ton, being unable to dispose of it's SUIT
ter-street property at any reasona BILE
figure, has withdrawn the property from
the market, with the hope that IL NAV
increase IN value in the next few years.
In order to cut down the interest account.
after consultation with the bank, Mahony
Bros. and the directors of the association,
1t was unanimously decided to bring a
friendly suit Of foreclosure, the property
to be bought in by a friend of the instf-
tuition, who will remortgage 1t and hold
i in trust for the institution until the
Sutter,street property is sold and the
entire Indebtedness Cancelled The suit is
entirely friendly, and brought at the re-
quest of the management of the associa-
ton. All parties concerned have donated
their legal fees.
THE two properties of the association
are valuable, and being wholly unable to
rely upon assets depended upon has re-
tarded the financial condition of the as
sociation. Notwithstanding this fact.
and paid off 100000, and have made the
work at the new building entirely self
sustaining; that Is, rents and member
ships from that building pay ali current
tirely free of incumbrance the institution
will be in splendid shape. The movement
regarding the mortgaging of the property
as above outlined will save hundreds Of
dollars a year interest.
''The work of the association Is very
popular and exceedingly successful, and 1t
Is unfortunate that work SO valuable in
this community should be embarrassed
by the need of a few thousand dollars
1t needs friends, and now is a most OPP

easily be done II our wealthy citizens

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE.
Valuable Information Now Being
Collected by T. w. Dohrmann.

F. w. Dohrmann, president of the Mer-
chants Association, has been absent in
Europe for several months, but he is eX-
pected home some time in September. His
son was one of the first to respond to the
call of his country and is now in Manila,
having gone on the first expedition from
here.
During his absence Mr.. Dohrmann the
elder has been paying much attention to
a matter of no small Importance here. He
was one of the most enthusiastic of those
who worked to have the college of COM
merce feature added to the branches in
the State University. He and Regent Ar
thur Rodgers having devoted much tina
TO the matter, Mr.. Rodgers here and Mr..
Dohrmann in Europe. At the last session
Of the State Legislature the act to create
and maintain such a course in the univer-
sty where students could learn to be-
come merchants was passed
According to the statement Of one of
the supporters of the measure, when a
young man finishes his education now and
determines 10 become a merchant he has
only enough education to fit him for be-
ing an ordinary peddler. His knowledge
of commerce should be such that he could
fill the position of consul in any country
in the world. The assertion was made
I'LL such offices have any knowledge Of
what constitutes their duties. Foreign
consuls should be business men and mer-
chants in every sense of the word. Soon
after the bill mentioned was passed Mr.
Dohrmann and Mr.. Rodgers came to the
conclusion that there are not very many
teachers in TINS country competent to give
the required instruction, and so when the
former went to Europe he was asked to
look into the several methods of teaching
in the big colleges of this kind on the Con.
unent. Several letters from him show
that he has visited institutions in Leipsic
and Venice and his report will be OF very
great interest From Italy he has sent a
comprehensive work in the Italian Ian
guage, which the regents are having
translated. 1t is believed that the infor
nation Mr.. Dohrmann will be able to fur
ntsh will be of material assistance to the
Instructors at Berkeley when the college
Is opened.

TRADE WITH BRAZIL.
Remarkable Development According
to Consul Kenneday.


The annual report of Consul Kenneday
of Para to the bureau of foreign commerce,
State Department. presents striking pic
ture of the remarkable development of the
United States trade with Brazil. Speaking
particularly of his own district, he says
there has been a broad and steady ex-
pansion of trade throughout the state Of
Para and the Amazonas. He predicts that
the city of Para will become the Chicago
of South America. situated as it is near
the mouth OF the great river Amazon and
commanding its trade. The two lines of
steamers running between that city and
New York are increasing the number of
their ships and are still entirely unable to
carry the heavy freight, although the ser
vice has been increased from one trip per
month to three trips and 1t is to be fur
ther increased January 1 tc one every
week. From the other direction, captains
of every vessel coming from New York re-
port that it is utterly impossible for their
steamers to clear the freight billed for
Para and the Amazon. The consul regrets
that these goods can not be hauled In
American ships.
Speaking of trade conditions in detail.
he says most merchants require from nine
ty to $50 days credit, and Germans stand
ready to meet all requirements and compe-
tition. We furnish already all the pro-
visions to Brazil, and our shoes are secur
ing quite a foothold. There is a broad
field for expansion in machinery hardware
and cutlery. The marked development in
trade during the past six months has been
in the bicycle. and official tests have dem
onstrated that the American wheel out
classes all others.
