BUSINESS Dull ON
STOCK EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-An atmo-
sphere Of the holidays began to gath
er about the stock exchange today
and the tone of the dealings became
dull and indifferent The operations
showed some of the favorite devices
of professional manipulations to be
in force and the whole market gave
clear evidence of its narrow profess
sional limitations The activity was
congested in few stocks and in
these the action was irregular AMI
not ruled by any consistent motives.
Any sign of strength in one part of
the list was taken advantage of to
sell stocks at another. The time
money market is almost wholly nom
inal yet, and there is no market of
consequence for commercial paper.
There are some fears of embarrass-
ment, unless a sufficient demand for
merchants paper springs up to take
care of some of the large require
ments at the end of the year. Rates
for call loans became somewhat firm
er as the day progressed and there
was an active demand again for re-
mittances to London Bonds were
steady.

GTLLETT GIVES
BANKERS DRUBBING

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 19.-Gover-
nor Gillett declared this morning that
the San Francisco bankers were mis-
representing the facts regarding the
continuance of the special holidays
to the public. and for that reason
were putting him in very unfavor-
able light. He declared that while
in reality the San Francisco bankers
needed the holidays and were con-
stantly beseeching him to continue
them, they were, through the press,
making statements that they were
DESTROYS of the holidays being called
off, as they We're again on a normal
basis.
The governor declared in the in
terview that he had continued the
holidays longer than he intended on
account of the failure of the Califor-
MIA Safe Deposit and Trust Company,
and that he could not tell whether
or not he would discontinue them
next Saturday.
During the course of his interview
with Call representative the COVER
nor declared that he had requested
the State Bank Commissioners to re-
move the secretary, j. Cal Ewing, of
baseball fame, because. in the opin-
ion of the chief executive, Ewing did
not keep his eyes open. 1t is evident
from the tenor of the conversation
of the governor that had not the
crash of the California Safe Deposit
and Trust Company occurred Ewing
might still be retained at his post.
In speaking of the attitude of the
San Francisco bankers and facts con-
corning Ewing's removal. the COVER
nor said:
THE trouble is this; The San
Francisco bankers who are really in
need of holidays do not care to admit
the truth. You could go to any of
them and they would say they were
getting along in fine shape and need
ed no further assistance, and yet
those same men may be trembling
in doubt as to whether or not they
are going to pull through.
They tell you one thing and to-
me they say just the opposite. They
do it in order to make good out
ward showing, and yet their action
puts me in queer position. | have
been communicating with the bank
ers of Los Angeles, San Francisco
and other places, with a view to de-
termining what the situation de-
mands.
Il suggested to the San Francisco
bankers that they secure the service
of an energetic man, one who would
keep his eyes open. The secretary
of the bank commission is supposed
to examine banks and keep all ac-
counts pertaining to the condition Of,
banking institutions This safe de-
post and trust company crash came
along and Mr. Ewing did not seem
to have known anything about the
condition the bank was in So the
new members of the board retired
him. =

NON-UNION men
RUN OUT OF TOWN

BUTTE. Mont, Dec 19.-Six nom
union men employed by the Bell Tele-
phone Company have been deported
since midnight by mobs, presumably
composed of union men. Two line
men were taken across the divide
last night and left in the woods with
warning not to return. The crowd
numbered 800. At noon today 500
men took four non7union carpenters
and laborers from the new Bell
building and led them toward the
Jefferson county line. Chief of Po-
lice Wynn, with few men, started
in pursuit.
Three of the deported men return
ed to the city late this afternoon. The
others stopped at Rocker. six miles
from Butte, and will be brought back
later. The men deported declare
that they We're told if they returned
they would be strung up upon the
Bell company's own poles Arrests
will follow.
The unions of the camp, regardless
of affiliation, met last night and de-
nounced the injunction recently
granted by Judge Hunt of the Fed
eral Court, restraining interference
with or boycott of the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone Company in this
State. The Bell people are putting
up new building here, and despite
the boycott, have succeeded in getting
labor.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving
Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efhc1ent
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of 1t the BETTER it is not a
drug at ALL but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous, vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic-
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form. or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: II ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath. mouth
and throat; ] also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use OF
them: they cost but twenty five cents

KILLS WIFE, Then
TAKES POISON
Conrad Rausch in Fit of
Jealousy Murders Spouse
and Commits Suicide
CRIME PREMEDITATED

DOWNEY, Jan. 2.-The bodies of
Conrad Rausch, a baker, and his wife
were found in the bedroom of their
residence in the rear of their bakery
this morning, the result of a murder
and suicide note written by Rausch
accused his wife of having maintained
improper relations with another man.
Her body was found on the floor with
a wound in the left temple. She had
evidently been stabbed to death.
Rausch's body lay on the bed with no
marks of violence upon it.
The cause of Rausch's death was at
first mysterious, but later evidences of
strychnine poisoning were discovered.
The pair, with their two daughters,
aged IL and 9 years, came to Downey
several months -ago and engaged in
the bakery business. They appeared
prosperous and neighbors knew of no
domestic infelicity. The two children
are visiting friends in Los Angeles and
are ignorant of the tragedy.
The bodies were found today by an
employe of the bakery, who entered
the house after he came to work. IN
vestigation disclosed the fact that
Rausch had struck his wife in the tenn
pie with a hammer and then stabbed
her in the breast. Either wound would
have proved fatal. The hammer was
found in the room. The knife, which
Rausch had washed carefully after
stabbing his wife with it, was found
in an adjoining room.

FEAR Of BRIBERY
IN MICHIGAN

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 2.-After a fif-
teen minutes session the Republican
caucus of State representatives and
senators to nominate candidate for
United States Senator to succeed R. A.
Alger, adjourned tonight for one week
without balloting on any of the candi-
dates for the. office.
The adjournment was the direct re-
suit of a communication issued today
by Governor Warner from his home at
Pennington, where he is confined to his
bed by severe attack of influenza.
Governor Warner, in his published
statement. declared that the caucus
should adjourn without action in order
to give time for investigation of
rumors of improper methods employed

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The calling out of
all firenfen on every Hartman railroad
west of Chicago, with possibility of
tieup by union men of practically all
other lines piercing the Southwest.
West and Northwest, is deemed prob
able result of the action to he taken to-
day by the firemen's committee In ses-
sion at Peoria.
In addition to the dremen's situation,
the locomotive engineers, through their
general committee, submitted the new
scale to the managers here in Chicago.
Labor organizations affecting forty
nine railroads centering in Chicago are
awaiting the outcome Of the engineers
negotiations
The greatest railroad struggle with
the employees since the A. r. u. strike
is impending. according to the views
expressed in Chicago today by labor
leaders in close touch with the railroad
situation.
Advices from Peoria late tonight
were to the effect that the committee
Will authorize strike vote tomorrow
on all Hartman lines west of Chicago.
1t would require five days in which to
receive the vote and tabulate it. Should
such a course be approved by the COM
mittee and the vote sustain the strike
proposition, it is believed the trainmen
on the lines running northwest would
soon be drawn into the struggle.
OMAHA, Jan. 2.-Replying to
Grand Master Hanrahans threat that
the strike Of firemen on the Southern
Pacific will be extended to other Har-
riman roads, General Manager Mohler
intimated today that this would violate
the agreement between the Brother
hood and the Union Pacific made last
April and would embarrass the move
ment of State and interstate traffic,
including shipments of fuel supply,
which are already at their minimum
condition, and would leave the men
without the support of State and Fed
eral governments.
Mohler concludes that unless the rail-
road management has the support of
the State and Government officials the
responsibility for suffering cannot rest
with the officials of the company or
with other labor organizations on the
Union Pacificc.

SACHER ADMITS He
CHANGED NAME

SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 2.-Proceedings
In the Cotton will contest were re-
sumed in the Superior Court this
morning after a recess for the hoIi-
days. The direct examination of Sieg-
fried Sacher, father of the little girl
who is the contestant, occupied the
entire morning. Judge Slack began
his cross examination this afternoon.
1t was very searching and brought re-
peated exclamations of Il don't re-
member" or Il have forgotten" from
the witness.
Early in the cross-examination it
was found that Sacher, although he
has been Partisan banker for many
years, has never renounced his Ger
man citizenship. 1t also appeared that
his name is really not Sacher, but
Schacher. and that his given name is
not Siegfried, but Solomon. The wit
ness admitted that he had tried to in
duce Mrs. Cotton to permit him to in
vest funds for her, notably in a Be-
mott gas concern, an English corpora
tion of which he was a promoter and
director.
Mrs. Cotton refused to invest any
funds in the venture, but did invest
through Sacher $1,000 in some Hun
garian bonds, which it appears she
had difficulty in getting from him
when she wanted them. Sacher testi-
fed that he sent these bonds to his
correspondent in London, and admitted
that this London bank regarded the
bonds as belonging to him.
very formal letter written by Mrs.
Cotton in September, 1904, to Sacher,
containing a curt demand for the re-
turn of the bonds. was introduced and
read to the jury. On the adjournment
this afternoon the cross examination
of Sacher had not been concluded.

.LAUDS CALIFORNIA
TO EASTERNERS

SANTA ROSA. Jan. 2.-Senator E. F.
Woodward. Surveyor of the Port of San
Francisco. has returned to his home
here after a months absence on a BUSH
ness trip through the East, where he
has visited a number of the principal
custom houses with the idea of seek
ing out any new and improved methods
of transacting Government business
which he might pro1tably adopt in
San Francisco. In New Orleans, New
York and Philadelphia he studied the
custom house methods carefully and
gained many ideas which may later be
adopted on the Pacific Coast.
Woodward also visited the national
capital and met the California delega-
tion and some of the party leaders as
we'll as President Roosevelt.
Woodward found a mistaken senti-
ment prevailing throughout the East
regarding many matters in California
and he made himself a missionary to
counteract, as much as possible, these
wrong Impressions.
Il found considerable criticism of the
position California has taken in the
Japanese school question" said Wood
ward today, but ii was because the
situation was not understood. After
explaining matters, as / always did,
our attitude was approved. In Denver
gentleman riding on the car with me
asked questions regarding the difficulty,
and took occasion to explain that the
Japanese who came here from the ORR
ent were from IS to 80 years of age.
The citizens of San Francisco, L told
them, objected to aliens of IS to 80
years with all the Oriental vices being
placed into such close relation with
American children. Everywhere this
sentiment was strongly indorsed. In
Denver several ladies. who had been
listening intently, applauded and said
we were right in our opposition.
Everywhere the people of the East
speak of the marvellous courage of the
Californians in getting right to work
and rebuilding thea destroyed cities.
There was special praise when I would
inform them that the bank clearings OF
San Francisco had exceeded those of
corresponding weeks of last year ever
since the great fire, and that while we
were the seventh city in the country
many times during 1905, the clearings
of 1906 had placed us as sixth. When
told them that San Francisco led
Los Angeles, Portland, seattle Tacoma,
Spokane, Butte and Salt Lake City COM
bined, they began to understand that
San Francisco was a city of greater
Importance than had ever been realized.
Especially was this true of those who
talked of Los Angeles or Seattle out
stripping San Francisco"
Woodward will resume his duties as
Surveyor of the Port of San Francisco
on Thursday morning.

TARIFF REVISION
WILL GO OVER
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON. jan 2.-It seems to
be the final determination of Congress
that 1907 is not TO be a tariff revision
year. Against the advice Of probably
one-third of the majority party men,
bers Republican leaders in the House
have decided that consideration of
tariff changes shall be postponed to "a
more convenient season"
Revision advocates are discouraged
by the belief that the President has
abandoned all thought Of calling Con-
Rress together in extraordinary session
in the spring to consider changes in
the Dingley schedules. The revision
lists have looked upon Mr.. Roosevelt
ever since he came into office as the
leader Of their cause.
No matter how one feels concerning
the apparent folly of further postpone
ment of tariff changes, he must have
admiration for the savagely cool way
in which the old stand pat" leaders
have subdued all the revision recalci-
trants.
