THREE PERMITS
Are RECALLED
HarbOr Commissioners Take
Determined ActiOnAgainst
Combine of Produce Buyers
WOODWARD LAW HOLDS
Short Respite Is Granted
Upon Payment of Fines
With New Applications

Three commission firms doing busi-
ness on the water front were deprived
of their permits yesterday by the
Board of HarbOF Commissioners. They
are l.. Scatena & Co., Wolf & Sons and
the American Produce Company. Sub
sequentIy they obtained a stay until
Friday morning upon the payment OF
$50 fine and the filing of an appIi-
cation for new permit At II O'Clock
Friday morning the Harbor COmmis-
siOners will pass upon the applications
and determine whether or not the
firms Will be allowed 70 continue buy
ing and selling produce upon the
property of the State.
The meeting Of the Board OF Harbor
Commissioners yesterday was mainly
devoted TO an enforcement OF the
Woodward law, providing against
trusts or combinations among dealers
in produce who do business upon the
waterfront belonging to the State. l.
Scatena e Co, Wolf & Sons and the
American Produce Company were
found guilty upon evidence heretofore
introduced before the board. President
Charles II. Spear and Commissioners
Kirkpatrick and Mackenzie voted
unanimously TO revoke the permits OF
the three firms. During the discussion
they showed an unswerving resolution
to force the produce dealers to observe
the strict letter Of the Woodward act.
President Spear said there was no
spirit Of vindictiveness among the
members Of the commission, but that
each Of them felt that the firms in
question had plainly violated the law
and should suffer for it.
The small dealers were ably repre-
sented by Attorney Otto /. Wise and
Attorney ]. B. Reinstein had charge OF
the cause of the debaTred firms. BOCh
made lengthy arguments and Reinstein
presented an agreement signed by a
number of large produce dealers as
proof that no discrimination was being
made against outside dealers. Attorney
Wise said this agreement was good
ground for his objection to the re-issu-
ing Of permits TO the firms in question.
The agreement was positive evidence,
he said, of a combination among the
large produce dealers on the water
front and the board should submit the
agreement to its counsel for his opinion
on the matter Wise consented to
stay Of revocation OF permits until Fri
day morning upon payment by the
three firms Of $50 and the fling Of
new application. All three firms paid
the $50 and filed applications for new
permits.
President Spear was empowered by a
resolution introduced by Commissioner
Mackenzie to visit the Atlantic ports
and investigate the construction OF
wharves and other matters that may
be valuable to the commission He will
leave for the East to-day.

Mark Schleiber and Lena Hecht lived
and loved in the East ere they lived
and quarreled in San Francisco. Lena
told Judge Mogan that it was Mark
who started the dissension that cul-
minated in her leaving him. Then he
pursued her all over the city, she
added, until he brought her to bay in
a saloon at 109 Powell street, where he
was threatening to decapitate her with
a large knife when Detectives Null
cahey and Taylor rescued her and ar
rested him. Mark pleaded that his sole
object in pursuing and threatening
Lena was to recover clothing belong
ing to him which she had taken away
with her from his apartment. The case
was continued till to-day.

Thus 1t will be seen that, whatever
may be said Of Judge Parker's political
belief in the gold standard. his judicial
opinion of the authority of the govern
ment to restrain monopo,ies and of the
Jurisdiction of the courts to enforce
antitrust legislation is strong. Being
the chief judge of the highest judicial
tribunal of state in which monopolies
have their habitat. Judge Parker must
possess strong individuality and a
pleasing personality to win the conf
dence OF the people to the extent of ill.,
trusting him to administer this office.
"A careful reading OF other judicial
utterances OF Judge Parker in Il great
variety of cases which came before
the court Of which he was the presid-
Ing judge clearly demonstrates his ca
pacity and fitness for judicial work.
His writings are facile. clear. perspicu-
Gus, and his reasoning OF undoubted
soundness and along lines of the best
judicial thought of the country ON the
trust question. They are marked by
method, candor and care, which mani
test that While he is conservative and
therefore safe he is ut the same time
fearless in the discharge of duty.
"Such man. other things equal, is
much preferable for an exalted and re-
sponsible public position to one who is
a lover Of guns and martial airs and
given over to tinsel and spectacular
display"

Roosevelt, the Peace Pre.erver.

nOOoevelts tne fe0ce fEeSerVeEs
President Roosevelt is going to call
a second peace conference at The
Hague, so he told the bearers of the
resolution recently passed at st. Louis
by the interparliamentary union Of ar
bitrationists. When he will issue the
call, whether before or after election,
does not matter. Twill serve to show
how dearly a war lord with a big
stick to hide) loves peace. Like his
brother Wilhelm, our Theodore loves
peace so we'll that he will have 1t ut
any cost-even ut the cost of fighting
for it. And, like Wilhelm. our Theo-
dore finds that the task Of preserving
peace is becoming increasingly onerous
and requires bigger and bigger sticks
from year to year. What Theodore
says is, "Let us have peace congress
at The Hague" What he is doing (or
his assistant for him) is to evolve q
10000 ton world beater in shape of a
battleship That is the Rooseveltian

TRUSTS RESTRICT TRADE.
They Render Individual Effort Helm

Tney Render individual Effort Help.
less, Says Henry G. Davis.
In his letter of acceptance Henry G..
Davis devotes considerable space to
the tariff. of which he says:
Except in the exigencies of war the
taxing power has been exercised by
congress largely in the direction of the
imposition Of duties upon imports. No
one expects to change this arrange
ment, which has proved so convenient
to the general government and so con-
ducive to the interests of the states,
whose resort to other sources Of reve-
nue. is left untrammeled. Indirect tax
alton, however convenient, needs, by
reason of its indirectness, to be watch
fully guarded lest abuses should at
tach themselves unknown by the peo-
pie.
''That many Of the existing tariff
rates are excessive and enable power
ful combinations to extort unjust and
oppressive tribute from the people
cannot be controverted.. The tariff Is
undoubtedly too high upon such arti-
cles as enable the manufacturer to sell
his products abroad cheaper than at
home.
"Relief from these conditions will
only come through the success Of the
Democratic party, which stands for a
wise, conservative and gradual change
in the tariff laws, which will equalize
the burdens of taxation and make hon.
est competition possible. But in max
ing such changes its purpose will be to
legislate with a due regard to the To-
Dor and capital involved in industrial
enterprises"
Trusts, he says, Of which there are
between 200 and 300 in the United
States, make individual effort helpless,
and the natural right of all persons to
barter and trade is unnaturally re-
stricted,
