OAKLAND, May Son Saturday
last two men attempted to take orders
in Fruitvale for drugs which they
claimed came from the stock at the
Preside in charge of the army. They
offered quinine. compound catharttc
pills and tablet triturates.
They visited the drug stores of Philip
& Philip and Warren's Pharmacy at
Fruitvale. The one who did the
soliciting was about five feet ten
inches In height and dressed In
some sort Of uniform which
the lady proprietor who met
him can not describe very accurately,
save that it was blue, had no stripes
on the trousers or elsewhere. and the
coat bore plain epaulets on the shoul-
also wore q cap. The other man was
more slight, dressed In dark clothes
and wore a derby hat. The man In
uniform had a peculiar. heavy nose.
Both were dark complexioned. the
smaller man swarthI. The latter re-
NAMED out doors while the one In uni
form solicited the orders
The story told by the solicitor was
that he was the clerk In charge Of the
department at the Preside containing
the medical supplies, donated" he
said, for the San Francisco sufferers.
These are some Of the goods" he con-
tinued, exhibiting samples of morphine
tablet triturates. 'I am only taking
orders for them. This gentleman with
me will deliver the goods tomorrow,
or next day. We sell them to you at
the regular wholesale rates. with ten
per cent special discount from the reg
ular discount prices. You pay no
money until you receive the goods"
Does the money I pay you go into
the relief funds?" the proprietor asked.
mo, this is a private matter" the
fellow was frank enough to say,
Others above me are doing this sort
Of thing-selling public supplies for
! private profit-why should not I? You
and I might as well make something
| out Of 1t as others. Give me list of
! the goods you want and this man will
bring them over. There will be no re-
( ceipts, no signatures, nothing to show
where or how you got the goods"
The lady refused and the man went
away. AS soon as she could she noti.
fed Constable Carroll of Fruitvale, and
also the Oakland City Relief Commit
/ tee by telephone.
Leaving there the two men visited
! Warrens Pharmacy, but made no sales
in either place. and disappeared from
Fruitvale before the constable could
come up with them.

Rub salt Ion prints before they are
washed to set their color.
