WILL CUT THROUGH
CEMETERIES.
Supervisor Is Preparing
Bill to Extend Streets
in City's Burial Plats

Just after the adjournment of yester-
days meeting Of the Board of Super
visors Wilson announced that he would
introduce a resolution at next Monday S
meeting of the board providing that
streets be cut through the cemeteries
of the city. Wilson said the resolution
would carry with 1t the condemnation
of the land necessary for the extension
of the streets.
Wilson said his object in having the
streets cut through the cemeteries is to
cause the removal of the bodies therein
buried to cemeteries outside of the city
limits, SO as to increase the value of
the land now used for burying grounds
and thus add millions OF dollars to the
assessment roll.
Wilson called attention to the low
assessment placed on the cemeteries,
which comprise forty eight blocks of
what would be choice residence prop
critics If the cemeteries are removed.
The present assessments of the ceme-
teries are as follows:
Laurel Hill. is blocks, s12, 700: Ma
sonic Cemetery, IL blocks, s12,500; Odd
Fellows Cemetery blocks. $4,000;
Calvary Cemetery, 1 blocks, $4,000.
Wilson said he would also introduce
resolution granting temporary per-
mits to the street car companies to run
tracks on the streets to be cut through
to enable the rapid removal of the
bodies.
Wilson said the officers of the Ma
sonic Cemetery Association had ex-
pressed their Willingness to grant the
necessary land for the laying of the
tracks to remove the bodies therefrom.

DIT MAN s VOW IS
HIS UNDO|NG.
Wealthy Brewer S Wife Is
Divorced Because Her
Husband Won't Talk

For. eight years Adolph Dittman, one
OF the owners. of the California Brew
cry. has not spoken to his wife Louise
Just that long ago he vowed that never
more would he utter a word to the
woman he had married He has kept
his promise and. driven to distraction
at living in the same house with a man
who preserved a self-imposed silence
she told her story to Judge Graham yes
terday and was granted a divorce on
the ground of cruelty.
The Dittmans, who are wealthy Ger
mans, were married in 1885. For long
time their life was a happy one. Five
children came to the home and there
was nothing to disturb the family re-
lations.
One night Dittman, who is said by
his wife to possess a well developed
temper, became enraged. He told his
wife that never again would he speak to
her. He has kept his promise through
all these years, although, as she testi-
fled. he has struck her on various oc-
casions. doubtless to remind her that he
was still her liege lord.
DO you consider his vow not to
speak to his wife sufficient ground for
the charge of cruelty?" Judge Graham
asked the attorney who represented the
plaintiff.
Il certainly do. your Honor" was the
answer.
Take the decree"
Two other interlocutory DEGREES were
granted by Judge Graham yesterday
morning. Josephine Espitallfer obtained
the release she sought from Frank Es-
pitallier on the ground of desertion.
Grace e. Hebard was divorced from
Charles ErHebard after she had testi-
fec that her husband was cruel to her
and on one occasion knocked out two of
her teeth and blackened her eye.
Judge Trout granted a divorce to
Genevieve Scott from Frank Scott on
the charge OF desertion and failure to
provide.
Emelyn Boyd filed suit against Frank
F. Boyd for divorce on the ground OF
desertion.

Legislature Will Guard Jute
Bags From S SPECTATORS Hands
of the Legislature law will be introduced
keep the ute bags made Quentin the hands of
Spectators 100000 bags shipped
the Southern Pacific Milling Company alone.
Fairfax Wheelan's Mill
Secures 900, 600
at One Time.

TTHE investigation Of the sale of
jute bags at San Quentin prison
has developed the fact that one
of the largest purchasers of bags
has been the Southern Pacific Milling
Company, of which Fairfax Wheelan
is the head. This milling company had
about 100000 bags consigned to 1t at
one time. To get this amount it has
sent in the affidavits Of its customers.
which stated that they needed the bags
for their own use.
1t is claimed that this was really a
scheme on the part of the Southern Pa
cihc Milling Company to secure a large
number Of bags in order to corner the
market. 1t has been said that this COM
pany advanced the purchase money for
the bags and afterward received them
in bulk from the farmers under whose
names they had been secured.
Fairfax Wheelan admits that the
Southern Pacific Milling Company has
secured over 100000 bags, but he
says they were for the bona fide use
of the customers Of the company. He
says that the milling company gets in
early and advances the money for the
farmer to secure the bags at the low
rate charged by the board of directors
of San Quentin prison. He does not,
however. try to explain how it was
that the Giacomazzi family secured
$4,000 bags, the Rianda family of
Monterey County 10000 bags and the
Aroe family about $4,000 bags.
The Southern Pacific Milling Com
pany does buy the bags for the farm
ers," said Wheelan. I'VE advance the
10 per cent cash deposit that appli-
cants are required to make when they
file their orders in the spring of the
year with the Board of Prison Direct
ors. and we pay the remaining 90 per
cent when the sacks are shipped. Our
charge to the farmer is one-half a cent
more than the prison price for the
sack, and we exact no interest for the
10 per cent deposit nor for the payment
of the balance due.
I'VE do business with the farmers and
are often compelled to carry them along
financially until they can realize on
their crops. We have been purchasing
San Quentin bags in this way for some
years. Five years ago some suspicion
was aroused because so many sacks
were shipped to Monterey and San Luis
Obispo counties and the Board of Prison
Directors delegated representative to
investigate the situation. He did so
and reported that he found everything
as 1t should be-
1.-The Southern Pacific Milling Com
pany courts another investigation in
this matter any time, and if it is proved
that any farmer or any person pur-
chased sacks for the Southern Pacific
Milling Company for the purpose OF
cornering the market I will gladly for
felt ten times the price of the sacks
We have no big stock of sacks in re-
serve and we have no corner on the bag
market"

CALLS RE NNER LIAR
AND SC0UNDREL.
Gallagher Denies Charge
That He Took Fee for
a Spur rack Permit
ASKS FOR PROOFS

At yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Supervisors Gallagher rose to a
question of personal privilege to reply
to the charge made by George Renner
that he (Gallagher) had accepted a
fee from John Breuner to put through
a spur track permit before the board.
Gallagher explained that he is not a
member of the street committee, which
reports on all spur track privileges,
and that he had never taken any hand
in the matter except to vote as the
committee recommended Gallagher
said:
The statement made by Mr.. Renner
I have never appeared as attorney for
Mr. Breuner or anybody else who ap-
piled for spur track permit or for
any privilege before the Reo Bgafd }5a r 01
of Breuner & Co., have never been en-
ployed by the firm directly or indirect
ly as attorney. nor have I ever re-
ceived fee of any kind from It,
I desire to say that George Renner
is both a liar and scoundre1 for max
ing the false statement attributed to
he made such lying charge. I will
only withdraw my statement when he
produces the man from whom he claims
to have received his information. Until
such time / again pronounce Mr.. Ken
ner liar and scoundrel.
Supervisor Coffey said that Renner
had told the street committee on an
automobile ride when streets were in
spected that Edgar Painter, secretary
of the North Central Improvement AS
sociation, had a fund of $1,000 to put
through spur track permits. The COM
mittee investigated the matter with a
view to bringing 1T to the attention of
the Grand Jury, but could not get facts
sufficient in the premises. Coffey said
Gallagher could not have received a
fee. as the spur track permit had not
yet been granted to Breuner Coffey
also said that Renner was liar and
a scoundrel.
Relative to a statement made by
Renner that he was ready to be jailed
for the charge he made Gallagher said
that If Renner would put his statement
into writing and send it to the news
papers over his signature he would
have him arrested for criminal libel:

Only Bona Eide Users
May Buy From
San Quentin.

HEE discovery that the present
system of selling jute bags made
at san Quentin prison has mad
vertently allowed certain specu-
lators to corral thousands of bags for
the purpose Of cornering the market
will lead to action by the next Leg
islature for the protection Of the farm
ers, 10 whom these bags are intended
10 be sold.
Governor Paroee is investigating the
way in which the jute bags got into
the hands OF the SPECTATORS this year,
and with the help Of James Oliver
clerk at san Quentin. will prepare a
law which will prohibit any other than
q bona ide user from securing bags at
the prison. A heavy penalty will be
imposed upon fraudulent purchasers.
Clerk James Oliver says that under
the present system OF selling jute bags
TO the farmers from San Quentin prison
It is possible for individuals to receive
many more sacks than allowed by law
through false swearing to afldavits. At
the present time no inquiry is made into
the history Of the applicant for jute
bags. His certified check and his ap-
plication for 5000 or less bags are re-
ceived at the prison and no effort is
made TO learn If the application is hon
est The applicant may have sworn
falsely that the bags are for his own
use or he may have already applied for
bags under another name. These are
the evils which Pardee and Oliver hope
10 remedy.
It IS probable that in the future every
afidavit viii be traced back to its
maker and the Identity Of the would-be
purchaser firmly established. Every
step possible viii be taken to avoid the
purchase of jute bags by farmers for
the purpose Of selling them TO specu-
iators.
II is not probable that any fraud in
the jute bag trade exists within the
prison The transactions have been
regular and the customers served In
their turn. Commissary Irving T. Bal
lard. who has charge Of the sale Of the
bags, says that the reason the farmers
Of Monterey and San Luis Obispo coun-
ties have secured more than half of the
bags during the last few years is sim
ply because they applied for their
share at the earliest possible moment.
The supply Of bags has not been suf1-
cient 10 satisfy the demands Of all the
applicants for many years and for this
reason the Bank Of Yolo was unable to
secure the bags il wished TO purchase
for its customers.

REVENUE COLLECTIONS
SHOW LARGE BUSINESS
July's Receipts Biggest on Record
Since Spanish Tax Was
Abolished.

Since the abolition of the Spanish
war tax the United States internal
revenue Office in this city had never
had larger receipts for the month of
July than II had for the month just
past, showing that the great conia gra-
tion had not had the least effect upon
the quantity and value Of internal rev
enue taxed products manufactured and
sold in this district The receipts for
July, 1905, were $542,240, and the re-
ceipts for July, 1906, were S555,613, ex-
elusive OF two days receipts at Los An
geles not yet reported.
Chief Deputy c. G. Fowler, in Collec-
TOR Lynch's Office, said yesterday that
the receipts for July, 1906, would have
been much larger had it not been for
the delay Of the Police Commissioners
in granting licenses to retail liquor
men.

DELAYED FERRY CAUSES
GENERAL APPREHENSION
Cazadero Breaks Rudder Chain
While on Way to Sausalito
and Loses a Trip.

When the ferry-boat Cazadero failed
to arrive on time from Sausalito at
1910 o'clock last night many began to
wonder what had happened to her, and
when more than an hour had passed
and she did not come in they began to
rear that something of serious nature
had happened to ncr. When she ar
rived at 1928 1t was learned that she
had been delayed by a broken rudder
chain. On the trip from San Francisco
the chain broke and the boat was de-
layed twenty minutes on the bay. In
stead of trying to make up the time 1t
was decided to lay over one trip. The
damage to the boat was not serious and
she continued to run the remainder of
the night.

Color has the power to alter appar-

green, unless very dark, has little effect
