win Arrest Shrimp Catchers.

Deputy Health officer Louis Levy
yesterday directed one of the inspec-
tors of the Health Department to
swear to warrants for the arrest of
John Doe, Richard Roe and Gustave
Videau, members Of the San Mateo
Shrimp Company. doing business in
the basement at 70S Sacramento
street. In October, 1899, the Board
of Health condemned the shrimp beds
at Butchertown and for more than
four years no shrimps were taken
from the place. Health Officer Ragan
in his report submitted to the board
a few days ago stated that the action
of the board was being nullified by
certain parties and he recommended
their arrest. The board approved this
recommendation. 1t is alleged that
the San Mateo Shrimp Company is
using shrimps caught at Butchertown
in violation Of the ordinance, and the
members Of the firm will be arrested.

CLAIMS HUTTON
CANNOT SERVE
Taxpayer Protests Against
the Paying of Any Salary
to Police Commissioner

Peter Orubirn, who signs himself a
taxpayer, filed a protest yesterday with
City Treasurer McDougald against pay
ing any salary to Police Commissioner
II. w. Hutton since September q, 1904,
The protest says:
Your official attention is directed to
the fact that on September q, 1904 one
II. w. Hutton, a Police Commissioner
was by the Superior Court therein con-
victed of an offense involving a willful
violation of the official duties of his of
flee, and that by virtue of said convic-
tion and under the provisions of sec
ton 10 of article XVI of the charter of
San Francisco the office of Police Com
missioner Heretofore held by the said
H. w. Hutton is vacant, and you are
hereby required to refrain and abstain
from paying to the said H. w. Hutton
any salary or compensation upon any
claim made by him for services per-
formed as said Police Commissioner
since September 81, 1904"
The protest was also signed by
Eeorge D. Collins as attorney for Oru-
birn, who is credited with having
threatened to have Hutton ousted from
office.
The protest was received by Deputy
Treasurer Louis A. Devote at 12 o'clock,
but too late to be of any effect on Hut
tons September salary of 500, as the
money was paid over to him at 10
o'clock. Treasurer McDougald cannot
do anything else but recognize the pro-
test, but in order to determine if it has
any merit the question will be submit
ted to City Attorney Long for an opin-
ion.
Under the charter a municipal office
becomes vacant if the incumbent there
of is convicted of violation of his Of
ficial duties. The point at issue is
whether Hutton in ordering the arrest
of inmates of the resort at 1929 Dupont
street in violation of Judge Cooks in
junction has willfully violated his Of
fetal duties, and the City Attorney will
be asked to look up the law on the
point.

George Probasco of P w. Bellingall
& Co. received from Canada yesterday

ordinary shippers bills with a stamp,
reciting that the values as stated are
correct. The new act went into effect
yesterday and is very stringent in it's
provisions. 1t requires the shipper to
state the quantities and description of
the goods, the fair market value as
sold for home consumption and the
selling price to the purchaser in Can
ada. Certification must be made to
the following facts:
THAT the said invoice also exhibits
the fair market value of the said goods
at the time and place of their direct
expectation to Canada and as when
sold at the same time and place in
like quantity and condition for home
consumption, in the principal markets
of the country whence exported di-
rectly to Canada without anv discount
or deduction for cash, or on account
of any drawback or bounty, or on
account of any royalty actually paya-
BILE thereon when sold for home con-
sumption but not payable when ex-
ported, or on account of the exporta-
ton thereof or for any special consid-
Grafton whatever.
That no different invoice of the
goods mentioned in said invoice has
been or will be furnished to any one:
and that no arrangement or under
standing affecting the purchase price
of the said goods has been or will be
made or entered into between the said
exporter and purchaser, or by any one
on behalf of either of them, either by
way of discount, rebate. salary, com
pensation, or in any manner whatso-
ever other than is shown in the said
invoice.
Whereas, German goods are subject
to surtax in Canada, certify that
none of the articles included in this
invoice are the produce or manufac-
ture of Germany, and that the chief
value of none of said articles was
produced in Germany-save. and ex-
cept all articles opposite which the
word Germany is written on this
invoice
The price and value of the goods in
every case aforesaid are to be stated
as in condition packed ready for ship
ment at the time when and at the
place whence the goods have been
exported to Canada.
No deduction from the value of
goods shall be made on account of
charges for packing or straw, twine,
paper, cording, wiring or cutting or
for any expense incurred in the prep
aration and packing of goods for ship
ment and all such charges and ex-
penses shall. in all cases, be included
as part Of the value for duty
