TRAMP INDUSTRY HAS
SUSTAINED A BAD BLOW
CONSTABLES' CLAIMS ARE CUT
DOWN THIRTY PER CENT.
Queer Methods Employed in HaIing
Migrants to and From Jail to
Make Mileage.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
Q0S Rroaduov Tao OF

Oakland Office San Francisco Call
9OS Broadway, Jan. q.
The erstwhile lucrative occupation of
certain Constables in the tramp industry
has sustained blow at the hands of
County Expert E. B. Bullock and District
Attorney j. j. Allen that will very mate
rally curtail their monthly income, and
will probably result in the weary Willies
of the road enjoying their dalliance in
the fields of vagrancy unmolested hence
forth. In short County Expert Bullock
has cut down certain Constables' bills
very materially on the advice of District
Attorney Allen, owing to charges for
mileage that are considered illegal; and in
some cases irregularities were found, the
discovery of which will result in a big
saving to the county,
Responding to questions touching upon
the methods employed by some Con
stables Expert Bullock to-day received
the following written opinion from the
District Attorney.
I'm reply to your queries will say that
where a Constable makes an arrest with
q warrant his fees are provided for in the
Statutes 1895, page 272, by the following
provisions: For executing warrant of q 70
rest 81; for each mile necessarily Travelled
within his county in executing warrant
of arrest, both in going and returning
from place of arrest 10 cents
IF an arrest is made without a warrant
the following provisions of the act apply:
For arresting and bringing him into court.
81; for transporting prisoners to the Coun-
ty Jail, the actual cost of such transpor-
tation.'
Under the foregoing opinion County Ex-
| pert Bullock has cut down some bills
| from 25 to 30 per cent, those filed by Con-
stable c. F. Weldon of Brooklyn Town
ship being the most noticeable. Weldon,
who. by the way, has not been reelected,

NEW ORDER ISSUED BY THE
MANAGEMENT
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

9OS Broadway, Jan. q.
It is somewhat unusual for men en-
ployed to work for their meals to go on
strike, but such is the situation at the
woodward maintained by the Associated
Charities.
The situation is peculiarly unfortunate
for the woodward has done good work
since it was established, but for lack of
patronage its usefulness appears to be al
most ended. This morning it was decided
to increase the amount of blocks to be
chopped for a 10-cent meal from thirty to
forty-five. When the unfortunates who
have been glad to chop thirty blocks of
wood-which takes about two hours-ap-
piled at the woodward for the daily op-
portunity to satisfy hunger, they were in
formed of the increase in the amount of
labor necessary to obtain dime ticket
at a restaurant. There was much dis
appointment, some Indignation and a little
obstinacy, and many of the men walked
off rather than work four hours for 10
cent meal and the same number of hours
for the privilege of sleeping in bed at
night.
The order increasing the amount of
wood to be chopped is partly due eto the
fact that over a thousand sacks of kim
ding are now in the yards, for which ne
purchaser can be found, and partly to the
fact that a number of men exist who, so
long as they are able to chop enough
wood to earn a meal and a bed, will not
seek any other means of employment.
AS the woodward was intended only as a
temporary employment agency, this sys-
tenn led to the accumulation of wood, and
consequently blocked proceedings. Mrs.
Kelly, the superintendent of the charities,
says that a good deal of the patronage in
the kindling wood business is given to the
students woodward under the impression
that customers are thereby helping uni
versity students to go through college.
She says this is not true and that the
students are not benefited. If the chari-
ties woodward obtained a fair share of
patronage 1t would be able to continue it's
work and not raise the amount of labor
required from each applicant.

steady increase is noted in the i'm
portations from Europe OF a new fabric
designed to replace certain grades OF
silk. II is mereerized cotton--that Is.
cotton which has been so chemically
treated as 20 give a gloss to the sur
face, while at the same time changing
the character OF the fabric. Within the
past year an enormous increase has
taken place in the importations of this
fabric, and customs officers say that
the constantly multiplying orders for
mercertzed cottons have caused an ap-
preciable diminution In the importa-
,tions of silk goods. The mercerizing
process Is applied to cotton yarns as
well as to the cloth. and the ''silki-
tied" cotton yarns are steadily crowd
ing out the silk yarns for embroider-
Ing purposes. Experts In this line OF
goods have declared that mercerized
cotton yarns are about 25 per cent
stronger than the silk yarns. Edwin
A. Hartshorn, assistant United States
appraiser at New York, in charge OF
the division In which these mercerized
goods undergo the official inspection
as required by the customs law. says
that he had seen some mercerized cot
tons which in their close resemblance
10 silk would deceive men long aecus-
toned to handling silk goods. An in
vestigation recently made by the
United States general appraisers into
the character of imported mercerized
cottons resulted in the official decla-
ration that the color In the warp Of
these goods is impaired by an insolu-
Bile, inextraetabie coloring matter in
hersnt In the fiber. the physical con-
struction OF the iiber being changed
by the action of caustic soda. These
merceriEed cottons are coming into
this country in large quantities from
Germany and Switzerland. and also
from Scotland They are expected
from other countries. inAsmuch as
United States consular agents report
that mercerizing machines are being
put in operation In nearly all OF the
European countries. Dress goods in
Imitation OF silk can be put on the
American market about 20 per cent
cheaper than the real silk. Importers
say that these eottons are fast sup
planting silk in the manufacture OF
silk shirt waists for women and as
novelties in drcss goods The new
fabric is also coming into extensive use
for the covering OF soeailed silk UNI
brellas. In tapestries and upholstery
silks the mereerized cotton has become
an important factor. While the mer-
cerized cloth has the gloss and luster
OF silk It is pronounced as durable as
heavy cotton.
