JAPAN'S IMPORTATION OF
PHOSPHATES INCREASES
Market in Island Empire for Fertiliz-
ers Of Required Standard Is
Good and Getting Better

Regarding the importation by Japan
of phosphates in 1905 Vice Consul
GeneraI E. G. Babbitt of Yokohama
says:
"Of phosphorites the total imports
were 1876, $4,000 pounds. valued at
s1,21S,415; other phosphate manure
45,391,557 pounds, valued at S340,S7S.
The United States furnished of the
phosphorites s107,511 worth; Mexico.
ss2,500 and the United Kingdom,
s23,6e5 worth; of other phosphate ma
nure Germany supplied sS2,S15, and the
United Kingdom s170.947. Whether
the rock is bought (. o. b. in foreign
markets or on the dock in Japanese
ports is a matter to be arranged be-
tween buyer and seller, and 1T has
been found convenient to send vessels
from Japan to secure return cargoes of
fertilizers.
Japan affords an excellent market
for phosphate rock, and there is likely
to be a steady increase in the demand.
For fertilizing purposes there are also
imported large quantities of bean cake,
animal bone and fish manure. The
Government employs experts to exam
inc all imports of fertilizers and mate
rials used In their manufacture, and
such that are not of the required STAN
dard are rejected, sale at any price be-
ing prohibited The Japanese manu-
facture more than sufficient sulphuric
acid for their own use, in 1905 export
ing to the value of $103.229."

KEY ROUTE PLANS DEPOT
At NORTH BERKELEY SITE
Track Will Pass Within 200
Feet of the Proposed
Capital Location

BERKELEY. March 16.-Purchases
of land at the stone culvert which
crosses Cordonices Creek at the
point where Hopkins and Grove streets
meet by persons acting for the Key
Route Company have been followed by
the report that the Key Route depot
In North Berkeley will be established
at that point. The route along Wal
nut street has apparently been aban-
doned and the Sacramento-street line
chosen as the means of access to the
northern part of town.
The new Sacramento-street line will
cut off from Fortieth street in Oak
land at California street and will come
up California to a point near Univer-
sity avenue, where the line will swing
over to Sacramento street. The exact
point at which the swing will be made
is not known, but the corporation is
said to have acquired all the land
necessary to make the connection. At
Francesca street the survey stakes
leave Sacramento street and go across
the Miramonte tract in a northeasterly
direction toward the terminal at Hop
kins and Grove streets. The line Is to
pass within zoo feet of the proposed
State Capitol site. and will not run
north through Peralta Park, as was
originally planned.

CALIFORNIA; SENIORS
VICTORIOUS IN REGATTA
Defeat Sophomores in Final
of Interclass Rowing
Contests

ALAMEDA, March 16.-In a continu-
Gus downpour of rain the four-oared
barge interclass races of the University
Of California were rowed this after
noon on the tidal canal over three
quarter mile course between the Park

There were three races. the first be-
tween the freshmen and sophomores
the second between the juniors and
the seniors and the third and final
race between the sophomores and the
seniors, the winners in the previous
events. The last contest was an ex-
citing one and the seniors had to do
their level best to cross the line three
quarters of a length ahead of the
sturdy sophomores. The time in this
race was four minutes and forty sec
onds.
In the opening race. between the
sophomores and the freshmen. the lat
ter had a bad attack of rattfes and
were easily beaten by four lengths.
No time was taken in this race.
In the contest between the juniors
and the seniors the veterans crossed
the line four lengths ahead Of their
opponents and did not have to stretch
themselves TO win. After crossing the
finish line in this race Ashley, who
was pulling No. for the juniors. col
lapsed and pitched forward in his seat.
He had to be assisted out of the boat
and to the dressin ng-room by his mates.
Ashley had been slightly indisposed for
some time. but pluckily entered the
race for the honor of his class
Coach E. NJ. Garnett was well pleased
with the showing made by his charges,
especially the seniors. The crews were
made up as follows:
seniors-Hubbard. coxswain: Evans, McKilli-

Knife of Surgeon Restores
Young WilCOX'S Reason
Patient Is Reported
to Be Out of
All Danger

OAKLAND, March 16.-Edson Will
cox, the son Of DR. W. J. Wilcox of
576 East Fourteenth street, whose
operation by which a mass of necrosed
bone which was pressing on the brain
was removed. was reported today to
be out Of danger. No trace of the
mental trouble, which caused the de-
tention Of the young man in the State
Hospital ct Ukiah, apparently a hope
less maniac, remains, and the surgeons
in charge Of the case are confident
tnat permanent cure has been ef-
fected
Wilcox first showed signs of mental
trouble about three years ago while
he was a student at the University of
California. II was at that time be-
lieved that his mind had been affected
by overstudy. His father induced him
10 temporarily give Up his studies. and
after brief rest he re-entersd college
and was graduated with honor. His
condition, however, became worse in
stead Of better after his graduation,
until finally his once brilliant mind
gave way entirely.
The first Of the attacks OF violent
insanity which at last resulted in his
commitment to a State hospital came
a year ago, and afterward occurred
with increasing frequency, until it was
determined by DR.. Wilcox that for his
own safety and the safety of others
he must be placed under restraint.
Then came the determination of the
father TO attempt by an operation to
remove the cause Of the trouble

WIRE TAPPED AND CITY
LOSES PAY FOR LIGHT

ALAMEDA, March 16.-Superinten-
dent Joseph B. Kahn of the municipal
electric light department has discov-
cred that the wire supplying lighting
current TO seventy-five fncandescent
lamps in the houses of the Bay Shore
Athletic Club at the south end of
Ninth street were tapped before the
current entered the meter and that as
consequence the municipality has
been defrauded out of payment for the
current not registered. How long this
condition of affairs has existed is un-
known, as is also the identity of the
person or persons who tapped the wire.
. When Kahn discovered that the city
was being beaten out of the full value
of the current supplied to the Bay
Shore Clubs house he Immediately or
dered the service discontinued. and ii
is probable that an investigation will
be made. One of the members of the
Bay Shore Club said today that he had
no knowledge that the city's electric
wire had been tapped and volunteered
the statement that he believed the
club would make good whatever 1t
owed the city.

SPITE FENCE IS RESULT
OF AE|GRB0RS' QUARREL
Mrs. w. Madsen Erects One
Along Lot Owned by
w. A. Watkins

OAKLAND, March 16.-A green
spite" fence, ten feet high, that shuts
OF the light on one side of the dwell
ing occupied by Mrs. w Harbinger is
an object of comment. curiosity and
gossip In the neighborhod of Market
and Eighteenth streets. The structure
was erected by Mrs. w. Madsen. who
lives at 1914 Market street, next door
to the Harbingers. Also involved is
H. A. Watkins and a portable cottage
in which dwell the Harbingers.
Mrs. Madsen does not admire the
cottage. She also objected to Japan
ese boy who washed the windows and
stood on her lawn when he performed
the task. She built the fence on her
own land, and there 1t will stay un-
less some law can be found by which
to force it down. Watkins is aggrieved.
He owns the cottage lot and is a near
neighbor to the Madsens. Said he:
'Madsen and have been good
friends for twenty five years. Too
bad this spite over a small thing
should cause SO much trouble. The
fence doesn't harm me, for the cottage
is leased for two years. The Madsens
uprooted a beautiful palm to build the
ugly fence. Neighbors' difficulties are
sometimes carried too far"
Now threats are made to petition the
Board of Public Works to remove the
unsightly fence.

LITTLE NEED FOR HEATING
STOVES IN BALMY CORUNNA

In Daily Consular and Trade Reports
for October there appeared para
graph furnished by Consul Albert Hal
stead of Birmingham, England which
quoted the British Consul at Corunna,
Spain, as stating that heating appara-
tus for houses, such as oil or gas
stoves. might be successfully intro
duced in that city, as houses there are
generally built without chimneys, and
the people suffer occasionally during
the autumn and winter months from
cold In relation to this statement
Consul General Benjamin HI. Bridgely
of Barcelona reports that the Ameri-
can consular agent at Corunna writes
as follows:
THE climate of this town is very
mild. III is necessary to speak of a
period of twenty-four years back to
remember that the people of Corunna
saw snow. The thermometer rarely
IL ever falls as low as thirty-two de-
grees Fahrenheit. so as matter of
fact there is no reason to declare that
the small trade In oil and gas stoves
is an increasing trade. 1t is at pres
ent of very small Importance, and
probably could not be developed to
any extent"

OPPOSED TO S. P. RULES
Official Corrects a Report
Relative to Physical
Examinations

OAKLAND. March 1s.-w. H Barr.

offered explanations today as to his at
titude on the matter OF physical ex-
aminations OF employees of the South
ern Pacific Company. 41e said: The
impression that l said our union was
not opposed TO the examination is err
roneous. 1 could not make such a
statement. for the subject has not been
brought before the union. and am
not authorized by the members to give
such an opinion. So far as the gen
eral situation as between the trainmen
and the Switchmen's Union Is con-
cerned 1 desire that the public should
distinctly understand that the organi-
zations are separate in every sense Of
the word. The switchmen's unions
are entirely independent OF the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen and have
no organized interest in the strike vote
now being taken by the trainmen.
The Switchmens Union of North
America at the Chicago conference last
November was granted four cents an
hour increase in wages on all roads
west of Chicago. The trainmen tried
to get a two-cent increase west OF
Denver, but failed and that was the
reason for the strike VOTE"

Message Left by a Wealthy
Tennessee Man Who
Killed Himself
SUICIDE IN BASEMENT
John w. Hart, Formerly a
\ Shoe Dealer, Ends Life
With a Bullet
SUICIDE IN BASEMENT

OAKLAND. March 16.-With a bullet
wound between his eyes and revolver
lying between his feet the body of John
w. Hart. 5S years of age, formerly a
prominent shoe dealer in Tennessee.
was found this morning in the base
ment of the Lincoln School, where he
had committed suicide some time last
night. 1t was at first believed that the
case was one of murder and robbery, as
neither money nor valuables were found
on the body, but the discovery later Of
a note from the dead man to his son.
with whom he lived at the home of
Mrs. M. Graves, at 1872 Eighth street,
disposed of this theory and proved that
Hart had taken his own life.
The body was discovered early this
morning by George II. Momeny, struc-
tural iron worker, who lives at 2053
Market street. Momeny is employed
in the construction of the new Lincoln
School building. and was the first 20
enter the basement of the structure
this morning. AS he entered the base
ment he saw the body stretched on the
ground, glance showing that the man
was dead.
At the morgue the body was identi-
fed by Winslow Hart, a son of the
dead man, who is a clerk in the Cali
fornia Bank. The latter at nrSt de-
clared that his father had been mur-
dered, as a considerable sum of money
and a watch which Hart always car
ried were missing from the body.
Investigation by the police, however.
proved that the deceased had left his
watch and all his money in his trunk.
When his room was searched the fol-
lowing note, addressed to his son, was
found:
Ny Dear Son: My watch and money are In
the trunk and the key is in this letter. l am
too nervous to live any longer. Goodby. Your
loving father, JOHN w. HART
Besides his san, Hart left a wife, who
is now in Tennessee. Hart had recent
ly sold out his business in the South
ern State and for time after coming
to the Pacific Coast lived in Los An
geles where he left property valued
at $500 The only reason advanced
by the son for the suicide of his father
was dependency caused by worry over
financial matters.

GERMAN RETAILERS
GIVE PREMIUMS
Organize and Adopt Plan to
Encourage Payment of
Cash by Customers

The popular belief that one must
higgle with the European retail mer-
chant or be cheated in the article
bought does not hold true with regard
TO many of the German markets at the
present time.
Instead one finds plainly marked
prices, and inducements for the pay
ment Of cash are made even A plan
adopted in Glauchau has been found
successful not only in encouraging Y
cash payments and thus avoiding bad
debts, but it has led to greater
amount of business being done. due to
confidence on the part of the customer
that he is not being cheated The
main points of the system are as fol-
lows:
There is a voluntary union of mer-
chants organized and having corporate
powers. Each member must be a store
keeper, and an initiation fee of so
marks Mark 23.S cehts) is charged
on joining. The price of goods must
be marked plainly, and the customer
paying cash at the time of purchase
is entitled to rebate stamps" showing
the amount bought When stamps
showing purchases TO the amount of
10 marks have been accumulated by
a purchaser he presents them, pasted
in a book fornished for the purpose
and showing his name for redemption
and receives therefor marks, this be-
ing a little more than Az per. cent of
purchase price of goods.
The distinctive German feature of
this plan is that the funds of the union
and the redemption of the stamp books
are in the hands OF the city savings
bank. which guarantees the payment
of all obligations. This it is enabled
to do from the fact that stamps used
by the merchants are paid for in ad-
vance to the bank. Thus there is mon
ey on hand TO redeem every stamp out,
standing. Furthermore, to cover ex-
penses, the merchant pays more for
the stamps than is refunded to the pur
chaser of goods. The city council has
had the city savings bank undertake
the financial responsibility of the plan
because of the evident commercial ad-
vantage to the city. the only reim
bursement for the services of the bank
being the use ii has of the unions
funds,
AS usually happens. there is a sur
plus remaining at the end of the year
from initiation fes and excess paid bv
merchants for stamps. inis surplus Is
distributed as prizes in amounts Of s
marks each to the persons whose
names appear on the redeemed books
first drawn at random from the files
OF the current year. II is believed that
this surplus this year will amount to
over 500 marks
