CAPTAIN HARTS
MAKES DEFENSE
Explains Why He Failed to
Declare japanese Goods
Found in Wife's Baggage

Mrs. Martha II. Harts, wife of Can
tain William W. Harts of the United
States Engineer Corps, went On the
witness stand in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday and told about
the silks and other 'dutiable articles
from Japan that the customs officials
seized at this port on board the United
states transport Thomas last July.
She said that on a former
trip to Japan she had paid
SlS4 10 for lot of silk, linen and
bric-a- -brac which she took to Manila
and upon which she paid the customs
duties al that port. On her next visit
to Japan she paid $217 20 for another lot
Of goods which she placed on board
the transport at Nagasaki and took
to this port with the orner lot. Some
of the first lot she had used in her
house in Manila and the remainder
she kept packed away in her trunks.
She disclaimed any intention of SNUG
Cling, but admitted that she had her
self packed her trunks
When asked on the cross-examination
by Ben L. Mckinley for the customs
receipt which she must have received
at Manila after paying duties on the
hrst lot of goods, she replied that she
had no knowledge of the wherea bouts
of that important bit of paper. Some
time before the goods were seized here
she and her husband held a consulta-
tion as to filling out the blanks in
the printed form of declaration at the
Custom house, and they decided that.
not being able to make out a correct
list of the goods, it would be better
to strike out the paragraph introduc-
ing such list and pay whatever duties
might be assessed upon the articles.
Captain Harts corroborated his wife's
story. He did not know where the
Manila customs receipt was. He ad-
mitted that he knew that dutiable
goods were in his baggage.
The captain said he had been ad-
dressed by Deputy Customs Surveyor
ST. John in a manner to which he was
not accustomed, and had it not been
for the presence of an outnumberine
force of customs officials he would
have Frustrated ST John upon the deck.
st. John had asked him where he had
been in these words: Where have
you been? Don't you know that I
have had to send over the ship sew
eral times for you? Don't you know
that you are delaying the ship and
delaying me?"
The case will be argued this morning.

FIRE LIMITS
ARE EXTENDED
New Ordinance Fixes the
NOrtherly Boundary Along
Bush Street to Van Ness

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
passed TO print an amended ordinance
extending the fire limits to line 1SIla
feet northerly from the center line of
Bush street and running thence to the
center line Of Van Ness avenue TO
Market street. Action was taken on
the recommendation OF the joint Com
rnittee on Fire and Finance, which.
with the Fire Commission, had dis
cussed the proposition at several prev
ious meetings.
The original ordinance fixed the
northern boundary along a line 1874
feet north from Pine street as recon-
mended by the Fire Commission
Comte moved to amend that the line
be fixed along the center of Sutter
street. He said the extending of the
fire limits was an important matter.
as under the charter they could not
be changed after being once fixed.
Comte's motion was lost after Bran
denstein had explained that the Bush
street limits were designed to include
the so-caIed lodging house" district,
which would be a serious menace
should a confia agration take place there.
Boxton argued that the danger from
fire was not so much due to the re-
stricted limits, but the fact that there
was a lack of water and the extension
Of the limits was merely a help to the
Spring Valley Water Company.
The ordinance as passed to print
also includes the block bounded by
Steuart, East, Folsom and Howard
streets in the limits. with the exception
Of 1894 feet southerly along East
street. which portion has not yet been
bulkheaded.
AS a further protection against fire
an ordinance was passed to print re-
ducing the height limit of frame build
Ings from fifty to forty-five feet.
With a view to determining if the
city can legally compel the Spring VAL
ley Water Company to lay additional
mains for better fire protection the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas In some parts Of the city and
county effsctive fire protection requires that
water mains be enlarged. or mains laid where
none exist at present; and

demand that there be a judicial determination
