sToREHoUsEs FOR AcoRNs.
Busy Texas Woodpeci<ers Make Trouble
 for Rnnchers.

Many mammals, chiefly rodents, store quantities of food against sea son of scarcity, but 1t Is worthy of note that very few birds have acquired tho habit" says writer in the Scientific American. "In California, however, where there are long, dry summers in the valleys, a shining example of thrift has been developed among the wood becker (tnelanerpes formlciyorus Baitd) closely related to the red-headed wood- becker of the eastern and middle states, It is one of the most industrious creatures in California, and to the cas- ual observer it's principal occupation might seem to be the boarding of acorns. Our woodpecker does not go about it's work in the offhand, slipshod manner of the California jay, which pounds it's aeorns into the ground, with guilty air, and then apparently for gets all about them. Instead melaner- pes drills neat round hole in the bark of a tree, and into this wedges the acorn, which fits so tightly that one has to use Q penknife to extract 1t.
 sThe birds are most active during the autumn and winter when they store many acorns for food Whether Ghe birds particularly desire a grub which lives In the acorn is not known but we do know that they eat the nuts. The habit of fitting them SC tightly into holes in the bark may have been acquired for protection against the depreciation of ground squirrels Although scattered acorns arc found ir telegraph poles, In fenco pests, in the sides of houses or Wedged under shin. gles, the woodpeckers seem to prefer live oaks in the valleys Tn the mountains conifers are used also. Leaky roofs of, ten result from the wedging of acorns under shingles of from holes drilled in. to them, and many rancher has beer provoked to profanity by having his house perforated.
 A characteristic of the woodpeckei is their fondness of certain individua trees. They store their acorns in tht same tree and use the same holes yea after year, adding new holes as timt goes by and the old ones wear out. 4 few of these trees must have a reputa tion among Woodpeckers for mile: around, judging by the way they ar, visited and the number of acorns de posited in their bark.

JOURNEYMEN NOT UNITED NO BARRIERS STRIKE Fear That Strike Would Be Failure if Inaugurated
 Now.

There will be no strike of the barbers to-day This was practically decided by the men yesterday, and in face of the refusal of the master barbers to accede to the demand for a half holiday eachs week. Another conference was held Sunday.
 Neither the masters nor journeymen, it is understood, are strongly united in their action. The masters are. how ever, hanging together better than the journeymen. Some few of the masters are willing to and have already grant ed half holiday each week. But those in the center Of the city, who employ the largest number of men, will not give in. Joseph Efand of Crown street; William Frohlich, who controls two shops; Frederick Neuman, who has large shop at S52 Chapel street; the Grenon Brothers. who control four shops, and Joseph Rofes of the Dun can hall barber shop. have all refused to give the half holiday.
 The division among themselves has caused those of the journeymen who were clamorlng for the helf holiday tc fear that the strike, if inaugurated would result in failure. Some of the journeymen are able to get time off all most whenever they want it, and are no5. inclined to hold out strongly against the refusal of the master bar. bers, thus weakening the journeymer in case of fight.
 IA like disagreement exists among the master barbers. Some have stated theil willingness to adopt the new scheme | all the others would do so, But since those who employ the largest number refuse they do not think 1t would hC beneficial to their business if they should grant the demands.
 The journeymen have expressed themselves as in favor of some sucl system as exists in Springfield, Mass There the men are allowed half hol iday, but 1t is left to the individual em ployers to decide with the men as t, how the time shall be taken. Tn som, cases it is half a day each week. il others one day in two weeks, and il still other cases the men take two con secutive days during the month.

CITY DROPS ITS
OLD BLIND GUIDE
RETENTION ON PAY ROLLS Is
DECLARED ILLEGAL
City Hall viii Lose Familiar Figure
Because Council and Civil Service
Commission Find No Pro-
tecting Law

"Old blind Tom" Collins, the city hall
guide, was notified yesterday by the
civil service commission that it can no
longer legally certify his name on the
ray rolls and his services must be dis
pensed with.
This action finally takes Toms name
off the pay rolls after many years. He
is one of the oldest of employees, having
served in the old fire department and
water department days.
Chairman John R. Haynes of the COM
mission said that the case had been con-
sidered innumerable times in all its
phases. Legally there was no ground for
keeping Collins on the rolls as guide or
watchman, because being blind he could
not be termed competent and could not
pass an examination. His retention
opened a precedent for finding positions
for every crippled policeman, fireman and
other employe.
I'VE represent the public as commits
sioners, and while we feel kindly to-
ward the old man our hands are tied
said DR.. Haynes.
Commissioners A. B. McCutcheon and
D. II. Laubersheimer voted with the
chairman to expunge the name. Com
missioner Milton X. Young is in Alaska
and DIR. d. w. Edelman was absent, as
his father died recently.
The city council .ias been carrying the
blind man on it's emergency rolls from
month to month until lately the finance
committee demurred at further retention,
and the case was finally put up to the
civil service commissioners.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The stock mar
ket developed a period of unsettlement
in the early dealings, followed by quieter
conditions and some recovery. This was
in consonance with the course of events
in London to which this market has
become peculiarly sensitive by reason
of the developments of that center yes
terday.
Before the recovery there set in Brit
ish consols had extended their low rec

as 82hc. There was some further dis
order manifested in copper securities
abroad, also because of the additional
decline in the price of the metal there
When conditions steadied in London 1t
was accepted as the passing of the
crisis and sentiment correspondingly i'm
proved. The completion of preparations
for the stock market fortnightly settle
ment in London for which tomorrow is
the payday, was given the responsibility
for the situation in London. Money
rates had a sharp advance there by
reason of these preparations Money
on call in New York also was appre-
clably higher.
Paris is about to complete a stock
market settlement as well. Between the
influences of these various centers the
question of the continuance of the gold
export movement was suspended. Ris-
ing money rates here involved some
offerings of finance bills in the foreign
exchange market and this helped to
curb the advancing tendency there.
The weekly bulletin of the weather
bureau on crops reported conditions in
some sections that were unfavorable,
but the immediate action of. the grain
markets today deprived the report of
any influence on stocks. Some of the
buying of stocks was for London ac-
count and marked the covering of shorts
for that account London also reported
some buying of Americans there for
continental account, especially Missouri.

features of strength. There was no dis
position to operate in anticipation of
the United States Steel corporation div
idend meeting, as it was known that
the directors would not go into session

would be any change in the dividend rate
had been quite definitely advanced. In

DRAYING FIRMS SUE TO
STOP TAXING OF TRUCKS
Big Companies AIIege Law Is to
Merely Provide inspection and
City's Profit Is
Illegal

In a suit filed yesterday in the superior
court six of the largest trucking COM
panies have combined in an effort to
break the city ordinance which imposes a
tax of SO a year on each dray or truck in
Los Angeles.
The plaintiffs, including the Pacific.
Pioneer. Citizens. Star, Great Eastern and
Merchants companies, allege that the
purpose of the ordinance is to place the
inspection of the numerous drays under
the supervision of the city, and that at
the rate charged more than five times
the amount expended for the inspection
is derived from the tax.
1t is set forth that over $1,000 year is
collected from the truckmen for the
privilege of doing business in the city,
and that the expense to the city Is only
$500 a year
The plaintiffs claim that this puts it on
basis of revenue, which it is alleged is
illegal.

CLAIM EASTERN EGGS
ARE SOLD AS LOCALS
Efforts VIII Be Made to Spot the ALI
legged Offenders

1t is figured that there are 900 cases of
eggs, both eastern and local, in storage in Los
Angeles The daily consumption is about 400
cases, so that 1t will be seen that the eggs
in storage at present will fill all strictly local
demands for over eight monthe without
taking into consideration the eggs delivered
daily by the farmers of Southern California.
Large quantities of eggs are required for
shipment to the mountain and coast sections;
consequently it may be expected that many
more carloads of eastern eggs will go into
storage IL the near future.
There was a story ahoat in the market yes
terday that certain egg handlers in towns near
Los Angeles have been receiving consignments
Of eastern eggs that they put in cases with
local eggs, and then sell the cases as local
eggs. This is one of the features Of the
trade" said a local dealer that we have to
contend with, anc it is bad business. Some
steps should be taken to stop the fraud and
put all dealers wise to the scheme"

HUNTINGTON DENIES TALE
OF Plco-To-sEA LINE

Trolley President H. E. Huntington has
finally consented to deny the reports that
his proposed extension of the Pico Heights
line means an ultimate line to Venice-at
least no such present intention exists,
according to Mr.. Huntington himself.
The present plan is simply to extend the
line 1000 feet further.
So much construction work is now laid
out on the Huntington system that at
present it is declared to be idle talk to
discuss further new lines.
