HUNDRED DEAD.
Routed With Heavy Loss
by Constabulary and
a Force of Regulars

of fifty constabulary commanded by
Captain Neville, and twenty-six col
ored soldiers of the Twenty fourth In
fantry, commanded by Captain Nc

FOOD ADULTERATED
IN GERMANY.
Wholesale Violations of
the Law Discovered
in the KaiSer'S Land

WASHINGTON, July 25. - German
food adulteration is the subject Of a
report received by the bureau of manu-
factures from Consul Britain. DR..
Jackenack OF Berlin sttaes that there
were in Germany in 1888 400 prosecu-
ticns for adulterating food products.
In 1898 the number had increased to
5000. in 1901 TO 1856 and in 1908 to 5000
With increased stringency in the in
spection laws il was discovered that
many large and reputable German firms
were carrying on privately special de-
partments of their factories where
chemists were employed TO scientifically
adulterate their food products.
Thirty Berlin butter manufacturers
were summoned before the courts for
an almost incredible adulteration Of
their wares, and the German papers
have frequently published accounts of
the manufacture in Strasburg and else
where of sausages from spoiled meat,
colored and doctored with chemicals.
Few weeks pass in Strassburg without
the arrest of market women for adul-
terating butter.
Wines, chocolate, cocoa, brandies and
medicines have been discovered to con-
tain absolutely injurious and dangerous
substances used for adulteration. Cos
metics and perfumes contain foreign
ingredients. In fact, according to a
Strassburg paper, there seem to have
been very few articles of manufactured
food and drink products which have
rot been the subject of adulteration on
the part of the German manufacturer.

NERVY CLERK Gets
CANAL BONDS.
Former Californian in a
Position to Make Good
Turn Without Money
SURPRISING COUP

NEW YORK, July 25-The identity
OF Samuel Byerley, the successful bid
der for $5.S00,00O of the new Panama
canal 2 per cent bonds. was learned
yesterday Byerley turns out to be a
eierk In the accounting department of
the American Express Company. Ever
since the bids for the bonds were an
nounced last Saturday Wall street has
peen trying to learn something about
Byerley and has been speculating as to
the interest behind his bids. Byerley
was not inclined to answer any ques-
items yesterday after he had been To-
Gated. The treasurer of the American
Express Company said:
This is entirely a personal matter
with Mr.. Byerley. who is one of our
clerks. There is absolutely nothing In
the rumor that he represents interests
in the company"
Byerley has almost taken the breath
away from some of his fellow clerks.
He had host of callers yesterday who
wanted to know how he could afford to
bid $5,S00,00O of Government bonds, but
he had nothing to say.
The general opinion among the en-
ployes of the American Express Com
pany is that Byerley is taking little
flyer, which has not cost him anything
more tangible so far than nerve. I'm
der the terms of the sale, no money
need be put up until August l.
The New York syndicate that got
one-half Of the s30,o00,OO0 bonds put
up price on them yesterday of $104.40.
1t was ciphered out by the bond ex-
perts that should Byerley sell his op-
tion at $104 he would clear $3.50 with
out putting up cent save for the post
age stamp which carried his bid to
Washington.
Byerley, it was learned yesterday,
was once clerk in a bank in Califor-
MIA. His bid has aroused no end of
talk in Wall street and there are some
bankers who have expressed the opin-
ion that hereafter a certain percentage
of the payment should be made when
tho bids are mailed

FARMERS In NO HURRY
TO Sell their WHEAT
Intend to Hold Back Years Crop
in the Hope Of Getting
Better Prices.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, July 25.-There has
been much discussion lately of new
factor which has developed in the
financial situation. The assurance Of
bumper wheat crop has depressed the
price of that cereal, but it is not be-
lieved that it will remain permanently
low or unprofitable.
The farmers are we'll posted as to the
foreign situation. which is such that
a large export demand is morally GER
tain to develop later in the year. The
western agricultural community has
become rich in the last three years
and the farmers are able to hold their
wheat If necessary, and not force 1t
on the market at the buyers dictation
Oi course, there Will be extensive mar
keting of wheat right along, but there
is not likely, exporters say, to be such
pressure to sell as there would be If
prices were at high level.
Because of the present comparatively
low level of prices and a strong prob
ability that they will be higher later
on, the crop marketing will be spread
over longer period than usual.

NEW ADvERTIsEMENTs.
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Demand for
Clean Food
One American Product Everybody Knows
Is Pure and Clean.

Clean food to eat and drink is as
desirable as pure food. Unclean food
can never be healthful-neither enjoy
able. Nothing can so quickly steal
1oYment OF a pleasure-be it eating or
drinking-as the mere thought, per-
maps 1t is not clean. In these days of
much agitation as to clean and unclean
food We are often at a loss what TO eat
and drink. There is a sense of dis
trust of what is set before us. rs IL
clean?" That is the question we ask
ourselves, and its very asking turns US
away.
1t is the method of handling in the
manufacture of a food product that
makes 1t clean or not clean. Pabst
beer Is not handled" 1t is manu-
factured from the purest materials by
the most scrupulOusly clean machinery
by the exclusive PabSt method OF
cleanliness
Pabst beer is a clean. wholesome
food, and the Pabst brewery is a model
of cleanliness No other food factory
in the world can show such a record
Of cleanness in the process of manu-
facture as the mammoth Pabst brew
cry, where the famous Pabst Blue Rib
brew to bottle or keg Pabst beer Is
never touched by human hands: il
never enters tube. pipe or stora ge tank
that has not been perfectly sterilized
beforehand, and, in fact. in its entire
process of manufacture it never comes
In contact with anything but sterilized
utensils and pure filtered air.
When you pour out a glass OF Pabst
Blue Ribbon Beer you know you have
food that is clean and pure and
wholesome. You will not dfstrust it,
You will not ask rs it clean?"

and with much glass in the roof, de-
signed to provide shelter, without in

~ and other residents of Stanford
d University and Palo Alto have
started movement to raise a
purse of $500 to pay off the mort
gage on the home of Mrs Gertrude
Gerdes. whose son, Otto Gerdes, was
killed while heroically performing his
duty as night engineer on the morn
ing of April Is. The alumni, under
graduates and friends of the university
are asked to send contributions to Mrs
Jordan, whose address is Stanford Uni
versity.
The following statement has been is
sued by Mrs. Stanford and Walter Y.
Wentz, president of the Social Club:
On the morning of the great earth
quake Otto Gerdes was at his post.
When the first shock came he and his
companion, to whom we are indebted
for the facts concerning Otto's heroism,
escaped safely from the engine-hous
but, with wonderful presence of mind,
Otto Gerdes remembered that the cleo
trio current was still ON throughout the
university, and making duty paramount
10 personal safety. he re-entered the
tottering engine-house and reached the
switchboard. A moment later, as he
was leaving the building for the second
time, the great stone smokestack shat
tered into massive fragments, fell upon
him.. killing him at once.
Because Otto Gerdes, by doing his
duty in the hour of danger, saved the
university from possible destruction by
fre-the fate suffered by San Francisco
and perhaps prevented greater loss of
life, Stanford men and women every
where will unite in honoring his mem
ory.
Though at present Mrs. Gerdes is
able and willing to work. and is not
without relatives who are aiding ner in
so far as they can, she no longer has
any certain means of support nor as
surance against old age, Therefore, it
is proposed by the committee at the
uniyersity-Mrs. David Starr Jordan,
Mrs. j. G. Branner and Mrs. J. M. Still
man--to raise $500, the amount of the
mortgage due on Mrs. Gerdes' home re-
Gently built for her and Otto at College
Terrace, near the university; and for
this purpose appeals are being made to
various Stanford clubs and alumni as
sociations. If each aiumnus and under
graduate will contribute a small
amount the movement will be success
full.
In all ages the hero who lays down
his life for his duty receives the high
est homage of men, and now, by aiding
the mother, we honor the heroism of
the son.
