Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, April 19.-Captain A.
A. Polhmus, with his big centrifugal
suction dredger Salt Lake City. is do
ing and has done a great work in MAX
ing perfect the entrance to San Diego
Bay. The Salt Lake City is a power
ful suction pump on a barge, which
also has room for the boilers which
supply steam for the powerful pump,
engine. workshop and even kitchen and
sleeping rooms for the men who work
on board. Through an immense sue
tion pipe, which drops into the water
TO a depth of thirty feet and more if
desired. the pump draws up water and
sand Of the consistency Of mud and
drops it into a barge alongside. The
sand remains in. the barge, while the
water flows over the side Each barge
holds about 200 cubic yards Of sand
When a filled barge is towed away
from the side of the dredger an empty
barge takes its place to oe filed, while
the loaded one is towed out to sea and
its load of 200 yards of sand dumped
through traDdoors into the sea.
The illustration shows the dredger
filling the last corner of barge which
is already so fun of sand that it's
deck is awash The mudlike consist
ency of the material that comes from
the discharge pipe can almost be seen
in the picture. When empty of it's
load Of sand the barge, which here
floats on a level with the sea, floats
with its deck six feet above the sea
surface.
In the manner described the dredger
has cut a channel through the outer
bar 297 feet wide at a uniform depth
of 80 feet at low tide. The depth be-
fore the dredging was from 21h feet
at low tide on the apex of the bar
to 80 feet at the outer ends of the
cut. This work has been accomplished
since last July, and now the dredger
is cutting through the middle ground
which is just inside the harbor entrance
and compels vessels to make a turn
and get into the western channel in
stead of keeping straight on in what
should be and will be known as the
main channel. Here the cut is not
near so long and is to be made wider.
A channel 500 feet is to be cut through
the middle ground to a depth of 2S
feet at low water, which is practically
the same as the depth outside, where
allowance has to be made for a ground
swell of two feet on the ocean. About
one-third of the work on the middle
ground has been completed.

SCHOOL DEPUTY
IS TO RETIRE
w. B. Howard, After Honor
able Service, Succumbs to
the Political ExigencieS
SUZZALO WILL RETURN
Former Incumbent Will Be
Reappointed and Leave Ar
thur McCurda Undisturbed

Deputy Superintendent of Schools w.
B. Howard will. at the request of his
superior, Superintendent Langdon. re-
tire from his position on May 1. to
make room for Henry Suzzalo. who
formerly held one of the deputyships-
In asking for Howard's resignation
Langdon by no means casts any re-
fections on his ability and efficiency
in the place, but it is simply case OF
Howard succumbing to- the political ex-
igencies.
Howard was the fourth deputy ap-
pointed by former superintendent OF
Schools Webster and has held the place
ever since Langdon assumed office In
January of last year, although Lang
don asked for the designations OF the
other three of Webster's deputies al
most Immediately after taking off1ce
1t was supposed that the deputies were
appointed for term Of four years, but
the Superior Court decided that they
held office at the pleasure OF the Su-
perintendent of Schools. Howard's
four-year term will expire in May, and
thus he has reaped the benefit OF
full term. Howard will retire with
the good wishes of all those with whom
he has come in contact. including the
School Directors, principals, teachers
and his coworkers.
Suzzalo, who is about to return from
Columbia University. where he held an
important post in the educational de-
partment, will be appointed to the va
cancy created by HOward's retirement
Suzzalo is on a years leave Of absence
and was succeeded last May by Arthur
A. McCurda. but at the time 1t was
understood that McCurda-s appoint
ment was merely temporary
McCurda has been doing good work
in his position and Superintendent
Langdon is desirous of retaining him.
That LangdOn will do so seems to be
assured, and SuzzalO will take How
ards place in order to leave McCurda
undisturbed.

HUNT PROTECTS
THE PATROLMAN
Holds That Board of Police
Commissioners Cannot Act
as a Collection Bureau

According to Superior Judge John
Hunt the Board of Police Commission
ers has no right to constitute itself a
collection agency for the benefit of
firms or individuals that are. creditors
Of members Of the force. He so decided
yesterday in the case of former Police
Officer Paul Cleu. who applied to him
for an annulment of the proceedings
Of the Commissioners Which resulted
in his dismissal from the force for fail
ing to pay Joseph Ferria s24 so and a
laundry company IS so. The appliea-
tion was granted. In the opinion handed
down by Judge Hunt he says:
Under the rule Of the Police Commission
any debt owing by a police officer may be
made a ground for his removal even II such
debt was contracted before his appointment or
even II IL was barred by the statute Of lin
itstiOns. he might be removed for his omis-
sion 10 pay a debt although he has not the
ability 10 do so. IL the officer disputed the

however financially responsible they may be,
that are not indebted TO some one.
The Police Commission has neither the pow
ers functions nor the prerogatives Of court
OF law While IL may be termed a disciplinary
tribunal and its powers are subordinate to the
latter, yet in this instance the Board of Police
Commissioners has exercised power which no
court OF Jaw possesses. IL has overridden the
provisions OF an act Of Congress and disre-
Earded the bankruptcy proceedings in a Fed
eral court. Such a proceeding cannot be sus-
tained nor can the board be made collection
bureau
The decision viii be appealed from by
the City Attorney.

KOREA'S TRADE
IS DISCUSSED
Director Goodwin Gets Facts
Showing Value of Market
for the Wares of America
STATISTICS OF BUSINESS
Large Growth in Interest
This Country Has in Land
That Now Is Battle Ground

systematic study of the commerce
Goodwin of the Pacific Commercial Mu-
scum. The results are interesting at
this time especially, when Russia and
Japan are battling for supremacy in
1.-THE Korean trade territory. Director
Goodwin finds that the annual volume
of the Korean commerce is about SIS
coG,000, and that the imports materially
exceed the exports. While the foreign
commerce of China is carried on al
most exclusively through the treaty
ports, only about third of the COM
merce of Korea goes through in that
manner
There has been a large growth dur
ing the last six years in the interest
the United States has in Korean COM
merce. In 1903 the United States sold
directly to Korea goods worth 100000
This amount does not include articles
sent to China and Japan which were
subsequently shipped into Korea from
those countries. Many articles so
through China and Japan that event
udlly reach TIE cCIlSuiIlcIo VI -
Therefore Director Goodwin estimates
that the Korean trade with this couh-
try would show a much larger bulk Il
it could all be carefully traced.
The IMPORTS are chiefly cotton ana
woolen goods, metals kerosene, silk
and the machinery fer the use of the
railroads and those that are engaged
in their construction. The chief ex-
ports are rice, beans, hides, gins eng
and copper. Director Goodwin shows
the extent to which Japan is now lE-
terested in the commerce of Korea.
THE trade of Korea with Japan,
says Mr.. Goodwin. lis growing more
rapidly than with any other country
the importations of cotton goods from
Japan amounting to from two to three
million yen annually Gotten goods are
the largest single commodity in the
value of importations into Korea,
amounting from six to seven million yen
annually. Silk goods imported amount
to about 1,500,00 yen per annum.
These and other facts have been en-
bodied in a circular to the members
of the Pacific Commercial Museum.
One leading statement is that the act
ual trade through non-treaty ports is
probably double that of the treaty
ports.

SHORT CROP OF WHEAT
SHOWS THE ADVANTAGE" or THE
 DINGLEY LAW.
FIouring Mills May be Compelled |" Close or Rum short Handed Bread is Made more
 Dear.

wash,n1ton. Oct. 26.--(Special)-' The short crop of American wheat and the rise in the price or bread as a natural consequence has brought the Republican party race to face with a condition which they little anticipated when its leaders fram- ed the Dingley bill.
 The law as 1t now obtains, places duty of 25 cents a bushel on wheat in- norted into this country and was meant to hoodwink the wheat growers of the Northwest into the belief that the Re- publican party was really favorins their interests As the United States is, however, an exporter of wheat. IL has afforded it's wheat producers little or no benefit until now, when the scar city of wheat has become so great that Northwestern mills will either have to shut down or run short hanoed IT foreign wheat is not obtained.
 The question Is a far reaching one and viii have to be solved at an early day. It promises to make the agita- tion of the repeal of the duty on wheat one of the biggest and most important at the approaching session of Congress
 The duty on wheat, it is now too plain to be seen, Is doing the wheat growers no good, is hampering the millers by lowering their output, Is reducing the volume or DuSlneSS or the IfanSpoTta- tion lines, and is wringing from the people, who need bread and must have it, hundreds of thousands of dollars. all for the benefit of few wheat manipu- lators.
 The advance in the price of American wheat has reached such a figure that according to a statement of the Dunlop Flouring Mills. of Richmond. Va, 1t is now possible to import wheat from Russia and the Black Sea, grind 1t in this country and export it,. less the drawback at e profit both to the trans portation lines and the millers treating 1t. These millers say that they were offered. not later than last Saturday. a superb quality of wheat at $1.05 per bushel. c. I. F.. Newport News. This with duty paid, would cost them $i.20 as against $1.26 to a1.30 asked by domestic shippers of No. red winter wheat which has a milling value of at least cents per bushel under that of the foreign wheat.
 The foreign wheat. the millers say, is really beautiful. tests s3 pounds to the bushsl. Is clear and plump and of rich. color. They predict that 2he iray0ska Of foreign wheat will this year, ba as
