in the matter of cutting weeds after hav-
ing been served with notices.
Saturday morning in the police court Mr..

with failure to cut weeds after being
served with notices.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Sweet was ordered
to cut weeds from vacant lot at Twenty
fourth avenue and Harvey street, while
Mr.. Barrett was notified to remove a lux
urlant growth OF weeds on a lot at Tween
ty-third and Henderson streets. These
complaints were the first of the kind to be
filed in the police court this year.

ceived one barrel Of whisky, two full cases
and five broken cases. They do however,
admit that two drayloads were lost. This
shortage resulted en- route from the gov.
eminent reservation, according to their
statement
General GreeIy's Statement.
General Greedy when interviewed, said:
There was a large quantity Of medical
stores here at the Preside. and 1 remem-
Der of sending nine drayloads of them to
the Mouder warehouse with the under
standing that they would be cared for
there. 1 am sure of this because Captain
Kilian, through some misunderstanding, re-
fused to allow the teamsters to leave the
goods in his care. l sent a sharp telegram
to him at the time. l cannot say definitely
where the goods were sent after being re-
fused, as they were returned here and then
started again. l say l cannot state def
nitely l have a remembrance of the des-
tination, but would not be quoted on the
subject. Colonel BreChemin had charge Of
the transaction, but has since left for
washington and took all receipts with
him"
General Greedy was not positive that all
of the goods sent were liquors, but says the
stores were mostly spirits at any rate.
Dr. Millar of the Central Emergency hos
pital said 1.-THE only liquor we received
was a small consignment from the Moulder
warehouse several days ago" This shows
that the goods were not accounted for at
his station. At the commlssary at Jeffer-
son Square park, L. f. Munroe, who acts
as dispensary clerk, showed all of the stock
Of liquor on hand. There were just a few
half empty barrels and several broken
cases. The accounts of his station are in
bad shape. Munroe did not know how the
entries in the book had been made. In
fact, he dlsclaimed any knowledge of the
affairs of the station before July q
It was suggested to General Greedy that
perhaps the teamsters had taken part Of
the liquor, as was claimed by the Board Of
Health. This would have been impos-
sible," he said, 'as the men would have
been punished had there been a discrepancy
on the shipping receipts"
The matter is being investigated by a
grand jury

OF tent dwellers invades private property
and squats. The owner comes along and
wants his land The squatter will not
bulge, and, unconsciously initiating a great
monarch, announces, Here l am; here
stay"
The town laughs. At another time there
would be a flood of angry protest appeal

WAIT TILL THE CAR STOPS
That Familiar Call Unheeded is What
Makes Postmaster Palmer
Limp Just Now.

Asked as to the cause of his limping
Postmaster II. Z. Palmer said:
II did not know until recently the
cause of my trouble, but now l have dis
covered that It is occasioned by jumping
or street cars before they have fully
stopped In alighting from the street
cars the tendency is to alight first on the
heel, and, added to the fact that 1 have
wound in the heel, an inheritance of the
war, 1 find that am Gripping myself by
this process of coming down on my heels
too hard in getting of the cars"
Captain Palmer is not alone in respect
to this growing complaint of heel injury
from jumping off the cars. Many middle
aged men complain of the same ailment,
which is attributed by physicians to the
same cause

Drastic Measures Needed.

Julius Kruttschnitt Is appalled, at the
situation and says that drastic measures
will have to be taken to get the cars I'M
loaded and ready for use. In speaking of
the matter, he said:
This tie-up of the freight cars around
the city is a much graver question for the
people of San Francisco than the rebuilding
of the city just at present There are about
5000 cars of the Southern Pacific alone
waiting on the tracks to be unloaded. More
are on the way here, and all the sidings
in the neighborhood Of the city are full of
idle cars. Way out on the Arizona desert
there are long lines of cars laden with
freight, waiting TO get into the city and be
unloaded. The merchants of this city will
not take the goods from the cars, and every
car that comes in adds to the jam The
Southern Pacific is not in league with the
Lumber trust, and is not seeking to raise
the price on lumber. We have ordered the
shipments of lumber to this city to be
stopped because we had to. II this matter
goes on there will not be an empty car
available on the coast. The company has
IS coo freight care, and all OF them are in
constant use. Almost 20 per cent OF them
are useless. Every one we send here Joins

we can. II is like pouring water into

will be an overflow. There are two ways
to stop it-either make the outlet larger or
stop the stream coming in. We have tried
to make the outlet larger, but the con-
signees OF the freight will not take their
goods out OF the cars, Now we are going
to make the stream coming In smaller
This congestion must come to an end The
interests OF the city demand II, and the

SAN FRANCISCO IN A PICKLE
Congestion of Freight Puts City in Bad
Way Temporarily.
SEVEN THOUSAND CARS ON SIVETRAcKs
Krutschnitt of Southern Pacific Says
No More Freight VIII He Taken
Till some Cars Are
UnIoaded.

A situation of the gravest peril confronts
San Francisco in the ue-up Of the freight
At the present time there are over 1000
cars standing idle on the tracks waiting
to get into the city. Orders have been
issued to the agents of the Southern Pa
ciic to accept no more lumber shipments
for San Francisco in order to avoid add
ing any more cars to the tie-up. The
cause Of the congestion of freight cars is
the refusal Of the consignees to unload
their freight. Every car that comes to
the city adds TO the congestion and UNI
less there is a speedy unloading all freight
traffic to the city will be stopped. The
situation is in such a plight that Julius
Kruttschnitt, fourth vice president of the
Southern Pacific and director Of operation
and maintenance of way of the Hartman
lines. has come TO this city from the east
TO give his entire attention to unraveling
the tangle. 1t has been decided by the
freight traffic managers of the different
lines running into this city to call meet
ing in a few days and charge from 81
to so a car storage for each day the
cars remain idle on the tracks. If the
consignees still refuse to unload their
freight the price of storage will be raised
still more. From the other end of the
limo there have been issued orders that no
more lumber is to be shipped into this
city until some of the cars now out of
commission have been unloaded.
The situation has been becoming ag-
gravated ever since the fire. Immediately
after the fire there was a Jam of freight
in the yards and the officials of the roads
thought that in a few weeks the con-
signees of the freight would be ready to
take it, and charged no demurrage. In
stead of unloading the cars waiting full
of freight, the merchants of the city or
dered more carloads of freight from the
east and this In turn arrived to add to
the confusion. The congestion grew so
great that 1t was decided a few weeks
ago to charge a demurrage of 81 a day
on each car that came into the city prior
to June 10. This had no effect and the
jam only increased as the weeks went by
until now there is the situation of the
gravest peril, which threatens to result in
