WOMAN DRIVES
AWAY BURGLAR
Mrs. Christine Hutton Gets
Better of Thug by Threat
ening to Shoot Instantly
MAN BREAKS A WINDOW
Though Alone in the House
and Unarmed, She Forces
Him to Take to His Heels
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
11Ao rao+ar e+rao+ AForob


214S Center street, March 8.
Pretending to be armed to the teeth
and ready to shoot at the first sign of
hesitancy, Mrs. Christine E. Hutton
forced a designing burglar to take to
his heels last night when he tried to
rob her home at 202S Francisco street.
Mrs. Hutton was alone in the house
and asleep when she was awakened
about IL o'clock by noise on the lower
floor of the house. It sounded like the
breaking of glass and it was after
ward discovered that the intruder had
stumbled against a window and broken
it. The plueky woman crawled to the
head of the stairs as soon as she could
and cried out:
Who's there? Get away or I'll
shoot"
She could see the dim outlines of
mans form through the door leading
into the kitchen, as he moved toward
the window to escape
If you stop I'll kill you," shouted the
woman again.
And moment later the man had
hurried through the window. She could
see his retreating form going down the
street.
Mrs. Hutton all the time was un-
armed, there being nothing in the line
OF firearms in the house. She said to-
day that she was satisfied the man
had been thoroughly frightened by the
threats.

DEPUTY CLERKS
PAY TIED Up
Indorsers Of Note for Frank
c. Jordan Are Caught by
Operation of the New Law
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
lis Broadway. March 9.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111S Broadway, March 3.
The new law in regard to the at
tachment of county employees salaries
for debt is to be invoked here next
Monday During. the last campaign,
when former County Clerk Frank G.
Jordan, now clerk of the Supreme
Court, was making his run for Office,
he induced three of his deputies to in
dorse his note for about $500, which
note he has been unable to meet The
money was borrowed from the Bank
of Haywards, which has come down on
the deputies for the money.
The indorsers of the note were Frank
Mason, Charles Pugh and Ray Baker
employees in the County Clerks Office.
Mason has since died, throwing the in
debtedness on Pugh and Baker. They
have been putting off the payment Of
the note in the hope that Jordan
would make the amount good at the
bank. but short time ago the bank
went into court and got a formal judg-
ment against them for $420 each. To-
day the judgment against them was
filed under the provision of the new
law with County Auditor Bacon, who
cannot audit their salaries until the
claim is satisfied.
In the meantime, Jordan has made a
settlement of enough of the claim to
satisfy the judgment against Baker
and promises by Monday to have Pugh
clear, that being pay day with the
county officials. The judgment, how
ever, at the present time lies in the
Auditors safe, waiting for a settlement
from one or the other source.

General j. B. Lauck. the new adju-
tant general of the State, was ten
dered an official reception by Company
A, Fifth Regiment, n. G.. c., his old
command, tonight There was a big
gathering of the present and retired
members, and General Lauck was
welcomed back to Oakland by Mayor
Olney After an exhibition drill by
the company. under the command of
Captain Hunt and Lieutenants Peter
sen and Poulter; a banquet was served.
General. Lauck was introduced by
Captain Hunt. He said:
Under the new Federal law, through the
agency of which the National Guards are sup
piled with arms and equipment the State mill
tary organizations are put upon practically the
same footing as the regular establishment. 1t
is my desire that this should be so in every de-
tail, and tina the various National Guard or
ganizationS IN this State should be as near
regulars we make them The National
Guard constitutes the reserve defense of this
country and 1t is entitled to the moral support
of the people.
Mayor Olney, after complimenting
the members of Company A upon
their drill. said:
1 was once soldier myself, and. while the
arms and equipment of the soldier OF the
present day are a little different from the arms
and equipment used in my time, still the so,
der is the same. The same spirit that ami
mated the defenders of the country in those
days should and does animate the defenders OF
the present day. The National Guard is a
very important part CT the defense of the
country. In time of war they are called upon
to perform regular duty, and L am afraid
that the true Importance of this service is not
always recognized.
Colonel j. F. Hayes of the Fifth
Regiment, Captains of Police Wilson
and Petersen and Colonel Handy OF
the Goverpors staff also spoke.

of the employing butchers of
hours schedule presented by the Jour
neymen Butchers Union, followed by
a strike in two meat markets of union
meat cutters. has led to a lockout of
union butchers. Two hundred men are
involved and nearly every meat mar
ket in Oakland. Berkeley and Alameda
has been affected. Employers in the
large shops declared that the fight is
not centered on the wage schedule, but
is a question: with them, of recognition
of the union.
For ten days the situation has been
working to a crisis Soon after the
union made known its demands the
employers met and decided that they
would not sign the new agreement,
though Fred Becker, the largest en-
plOyer, said that he had been paying
the new rate demanded for a long time
but he declined to sign the agreement
because it forced him into recognition
of the Butchers Union. Ills position
was taken by all but a few of the en-
ployers.
The union yesterday forced the issue
by calling a strike in KohIer Bros. and
G. A. Rothamel's markets because
these employers had refused to sign
the new agreement. The first named
firm conducts the Buffalo Market at
Twenty second street and San Pablo
avenue and the Excelsior Market at
Twenty fourth street and Telegraph
avenue. RothameTs shop is the Pa
1sR 80
Telegraph avenue. These shops were
declared unfair" and pickets were sta
toned in front of them to announce a
boycott
EMPLOYERS WILL RESIST.
The employers met and decided to re-
sist the strike by ordering a general
lockout, to be effective to-day, unless
the strike should be declared off and
! the pickets withdrawn. In pursuance OF
the decision every union butcher with
the exception of a few employed in
shops that signed the agreement was
notified before noon to-day that his SER
vices were no longer required. The ma
( jority Of the shops notified their mer
when they appeared for work At Beck
er's. Washington street, near Eighth
where nearly fifty meat cutters were
/ employed, the lockout was effective al
noon.
This was the employers reply to the
unions demands.
| The lockout came as a great surprise
/ to the union. The leaders had not ex-
/ pected the employers to take this step
1t had been believed that a strike would
/ be ordered, however, and the employers
! took the offensive side of the contest
! placing the men on the defensive.
Behind the contest stand the whole
/ sale supply firms. Union men declare
/ that the retailers have been forced tC
! declare lockout by the wholesalers. II
is said that the supply houses have
agreed to protect their retailing
! patrons, who have organized to resis
! the unions demands.
! The agreement presented to the EN-
! ployers provides an increase from S16 t
| SIS a week in meat cutters wages; E
reduction to ten hours as a days worl
for sausagemakers; boys to work only
| as cash boys; apprentices limited tC
youths of IS years of age, at a mini
mum of $40 a week. There are alst
other points relating to working condi
tions included.

THE LAND OF PEANUTS.

If you like peanuts go to Senegal, Africa
Senegal is one of those places that is
hard to remember, even after you have
found it on the map.
The peanuts raised in Senegal one year
weigh more than $4,000 tons. France
takes most of them. But thousands of
tons also go to Holland and Germany.
The little French and Dutch and Ger
man children do not, however eat pea
nuts by the ton. Indeed, they hardly eat
them at all. The peanut in those benight
ed islands is turned into oil instead of be
ing turned into hungry children.
The only European country that treats
the Senegal peanut with proper respect is
England 1t takes less than a hundred
tons a year out of Senegal. but the nuts
are packed carefully in bags and are sold
to confectioners, as they should be, instead
of to oil makers.
Senegal also raises great quantities of
that typical arabian Nights grain, sea
same. Do you remember the "open Sc
same of the forty thieves?

WOULD SEND

That the schools of Tacoma will be rep
resented in the educational exhibit at the
Worlds fair in St. Louis is an assured
fact The nature of the exhibit is yet
to be decided, but Superintendent A. B.
Warner would like to exhibit some of the
bright boys and girls who have gone
through the Tacoma schols. "The best eX-
hibit in any line of work" he said, sis
the finished product. The young men and
women who are turned out of our schools,
my judgment. constitute the very best kind
of an educational exhibit; but in this case
that, of course, is out of the question.
The committee having the matter in charge
has not yet decided upon any form of an
exhibit, and will probably not do so until
after comforting with the worlds fair
