DECISION OF TEA BOARD
OPENS Gates OF TRADE
TO LOCAL IMPORTERS
Dispatch Received Conveys
News of Lifting of Ban
on Colored Leaves
MILLIONS AT STAKE
Pure Food Enactment Will
Not Interfere With the
Importation Law
MILLIONS AT STAKE

A dispatch received yesterday by A.
e. Denny. the San Francisco represen-
tative of the tea importing house of
Carter. Macy & Co.. contained informa-
tion of Importance to importers. whole
sale grocers and jobbers. The mes
sage said that there would be no fur
ther interference with the importa tion
of colored teas from Japan and China.
which amount annually at this port to
100000 pounds.
When the news was disseminated
among the trade. cablegrams were sent
to both Japan and China, and these
dispatches will insure the free move
ment in this direction of great quan-
titles of teas OF the new crop.
Millions of dollars were at stake and
commercial men had been anxiously
awaiting the fnal determination Of
the national board of tea experts that
has been in session in New York. In
this board are two San Francisco mem
bers, Charles R. Platt and George A.
Caswell.
The dispatch received by Denny was
signed by George H. Macy of New
York and reads as follows:
"Colored tea will be admitted as
heretofore on standards OF the United
States Board of tea experts on the
same basis as last year
The significance OF this Is that 1t
has been finally decided that the pure
food law will not interfere with the
operation Of the tea importation law.

cured room across the street from
their home and would sit there watch

Of retail trade and business activity
was celebrated last evening by the
members Of the Fillmore Street I'm
provement Club and their guests at a
banquet given in the Louvre. Business
men and public officials spoke of the
present needs of the highway and of
its future and told of the days in April
when the street first came into its

tates, Fillmore street will maintain its
present character. and the plans Of the
association for the Improvement Of the

CENTRAL THEATER ROW
AGAIN Gets into COURT
Dodge Alleges That Howell
and McCreery Plotted
to Defraud Him

AS a result of the trouble between
the owners of the Central Theater,
which leo to the levying. of an attach
ment two weeks ago. Mortimer NJ.
Dodge filed a suit yesterday against
Ernest E. Howell, his partner, and A.
B. McCreery, who owns the land on
which the theater is situated. Dodge
charges Howell and McCreery with
conspiracy. and demands that the part
nership of which he is a member be
given judgment against McCreery for
$2l. .564; that he be given a half interest
in a lease which he alleges. McCreery
has given to Howell; that a receiver
be appointed for the partnership; that
an accounting of the partnership be
had, and that 1t then be dissolved
Dodge alleges in his complaint that
he and Howell formed the partner
ship in June last and secured a six
months lease of the Central Theater
site from McCreery, Howell represent
ing that he could positively secure an
extension Of this lease from McCreery
on stated terms. On the strength of
this Dodge advanced $4,000 and later
paid over $4659 more and permitted the
entire profits of the partnership to be
expended for improvements.
The trouble reached a climax when
Howell attempted TO terminate the
partnership, claiming. as Dodge al
leges. that he could not get the new
lease from McCreery. He offered to
buy Dodge's interest for $4,000, and
while this offer was pending McCreery
began an action against the partner
ship to recover s15.972 and levied an
attachment against the theater. On
February G Dodge accepted the $4,000
offer. and the following day the suit
was dropped and the attachment dis
missed.
The check received by Dodge from
Howell was refused at the bank, and
Dodge asserts that the entire trans
action was a fraudulent one, that Nc
Creerys suit was brought merely to
force him out of his interest in the
partnership and that McCreery has
already given a new lease to Howell,
which they have tried to keep from
his knowledge

PERKINS AND STRAT TON
PLAN To GIVE IRISH
THE GRAND T0B0GGAA
Unite in Effort to Sever
Him From Berth in
Custon-House
FIRST ATTEMPT FAILS
Not Discouraged, They Will
Try Again to Gust
the Official

The Custom house has for the nonce
been transformed into a political vol
cano. Just when the molten fire will
break forth no one seems to know; but
there are no volunteers for the job OF
sitting on the lid. That the eruption
cannot be postponed long is evidenced
by the portentious rumblings within.
When the outbreak comes. say those
who are up in political geology San
Francisco will witness a spectacular
display.
Not only is ST. John to be decapi-
tated and Appraiser John T. Dare to-
bogganed into private life. but John P.
Irish himself may be one of the out
going multitude. Now Irish does not
intend to be drummed out of office.
For twelve years he has held on like
grim death. AS naval officer of the
port, he has for these many years
drawn an annual salary of $4,000. Much
of his time, moreover, has been spent
in lecture tours Just what work Irish
does has long been one of the mysteries
of the Custom-house. Attempts have
been made in the past TO sever him
from his job, but his grip has been
proof against three administrations.
This time influences more powerful
than ever before are at work to set
Irish adrift. The report is that Senator
Perkins and Collector Stratton have
united in their sendeayor to lose Irish.
The scheme was all arranged, the gun
that was to deal political death to
Irish was primed and Perkins had his
finger on the trigger, when suddenly
Irish saw that the weapon was pointed
his way. He made a quick dash to
Washington and there in that myster-
ious way of his reached the Presiden-
tial ear and poured therein a long tale,
carefully interspersed with delicate
compliments for the man with the big
stick and the bigger teeth. The gun
that Perkins and Stratton had primed
made a noise like a hiss and no one
was hurt.
Not discouraged with their failure,
Perkins and Stratton are about to re-
load the gun for Irish.
Appraiser Dare has determined to
put UP stiff fight to resist the attempt
which he says Is being made to give
him the Spanish walk out of office .
He will demand a hearing in case a
colored envelope is passed to him.

Of every description is the best wea-
pom of attack and the strongest wall
Of defense. And while we are so for

the work Of our organ ought to be

commend to all the subordinate unions

commend the patronizing of the job

Takes But Three Minutes to Lib
crate Miner Who Protected
His Home.

Those who are chronicling in their
note books for future use, incidents
relating to the strike on the Mesaba
Range, may jot down a thought or
two on the result of the proceedings
instituted against the striking miners
in tho district court.
During the heat of battle the ''kan-
caro- courts" at Hibbing, Naswauk and
Bovey, gloried in assuming the power.
and having the opportunity to cast
innocent men into jail. In cases
which did not call for action by a
grand jury these alleged courts of
justice delighted in railroading al
legged Offenders to Jail, without any
pretense of observing the processes
of law:
ture, where they were compelled to
respect the authority of superior
courts, and where such courts have
since taken action the result in
EVERY case, was the discharge of the
defendant.
Attorney Keyes this week secured
the acquittal of Matt Grahek. against
whom the paid hirlings of the Steel
Trust had truraped up a charge. It
required but three minutes of jury s
time to decide upon a verdict of &C
quittal.
One of the jurymen. in a conversa-
ton with some friends after the ver-
dict had been rendered stated, that if
he had been in the defendants place,
and the company detectives attempted
to enter his premises in the manner
done in this case he would have filled
them so full of holes that they would
be unable to CONT any further tres
pass on any PERSONS rights.
Other jurors gave utterance to SIM
liar expressions. One Of them held
that it was a crime to put the county
Of St. Louis to the expense Of trying
such unjustifiable cases.
