STATE BOARD DECLARES
SULPHUR FUMES BENEFICIAL

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-The state
board of trade today issued a statement
saying in part:
1.-The state board of trade desires suf-
flcient time to file a statement showing
that the use of sulphur fumes as generally
practiced by fruit growers in California in
drying and preserving certain kinds OF
fruit is not only Objectionable with respect
to the health of consumers but it is pos
sibly beneficial both to consumer and
producer.
THE proposed limitation, IL adopted and
enforced, could not benefit consumers; on
the contrary, it would do positive harm by
compelling producers to supply the mar
kets with their products in unwholesome
condition and render them dangerous to
the public health.
I'VE are prepared to forward conclusive
proofs, based not only upon practical ex-
perience but also upon the highest scien-
tific authorities, that we need no substi-
tute for sulphur, as now used; that in
stead of being injurious to the consumer
1t possibly improves the dried products as
articles of food and protects them from in
lection of disease"

ACTING MAYOR
MAY TELL Of
HIS DISGRACE
Boxton Will Go on
Stand Today
Examination of Witnesses So Skill
fully Interrupted by Defense
That Little information
Is Secured
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-Very little
was accomplished today in the trial Of
Louis Glass.
Assistant District Attorney Heney made
the opening statement for the prosecution,
In which he outlined the steps by which
the state expects to prove that the vice
president of the Pacific States Telephone
company paid Supervisor Charles Boxton
now the temporary mayor of San Fran
cisco-a $4,000 bribe to vote against the
Home Telephone company's application
for a rival franchise.
Then DIR. Boxton was called to the
stand. Though he is to be the star wit
ness for the state his inquisition today
was so skillfullly and frequently inter
rupted by Attorney Delmas of the de-
fense that when, shortly before the noon
Ryan of the board of supervisors, nothing
of vital Importance had been elected.
The examination of Mr.. Ryan, who has
served the supervisorial bodies since 1888,
was directed by the prosecution to estab-
lish the identity of the application sub
mitted by the Home Telephone company
and was momentarily interrupted by
Delmas, whose views of what Heney
might and what he might not ask under
the law were at variance with the assis-
tant district attorneys. Minutes of the
board were under examination for intro
duction in proof of the making Of that
application and the subsequent awarding
of the franchise to the Home company,
when the afternoon session was ad-
journed.
1t Is thought that Acting Mayor Boxton
will tomorrow on the witness stand tell
the story of his own disgrace.

department and Japanese embassy came
swift and conclusive denial today of the
