BUILDING UP TRADE
METHODS PURSUED BY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MERCHANTS.
WORK DURING DULL SEASONS
Necessity of Advertising and Meeting Competition Given by the Large City Department Stores and
 Mail-Order Houses.

The m;d-winter period is generally the dullest in the retail trade. Why this Is so is hard to explain. Farm CTS find 3 time of rest during Febru- ary and March, and a portion of April, and the weather is generally such that they like to keep by their own firesides While the country retailers may find Hull in business, it is diff ferent with the mail order houses. The farmers leisure time affords him a chance carefully to go over the large catalogues and other advertising mat ter sent out to him, and quite often he is attracted by the alluring@ de- seription of goods and the supposed low prices. Thus it is that the mail order houses benefit, while the local merchant loses.
 One of the faults of the average merchant is that during dull times he makes no effort to increase trade He puts into practice a system of false economy He generally curtails his advertising bills and lets goods re. main upon his shelves, that a slight effort in the right direction would re move The mid-winter and the

 It will pay the merchant in the small town carefully to study the methods of the large department stores and to beenfit by the work of the mail order concerns The large houses do not lie down during the dull period. They make an extra effort to gather in trade, and these efforts generally win. The present season is an exceptional one. Universal talk of panicky times has made a great class of people more
  They are looking for opportunities to save money. Low prices attract them. The merchant realizing this condition can turn matters well to account by making the right kind of effort. This is the time when intelligent appeals to common sense and the preaching of evils of concentration of capital, and the necessity of protecting home in dustries, will have the most beneficial effects. The home merchant has all the advantage over the foreign insti- tuition. He has the goods to show the people before they pay their money.

Driven Out by Pure Food Law.

During the past half dozen years there has been constant cry for pure food and this clamor has caused near ly all the states, and the national gov ernment as well, to enact pure food laws. If there has been need for re- form it has been in bettering the classes of foods which are intended to feed the millions as well as keep them in good health, and improving the conditions under which they are prepared.
 Such frauds had grown up in food. stuffs that it was imperative that stringent measures be taken to pro tect the lives and the health of the people. Unprincipled persons engaged in manufacturing of baking powders, fiavoring extracts, the selling of spices and coffees and teas, and their prod ucts were the vilest combinations Of drugs and other materials. These goods were disposed of to dishonest grocers, but the chief way of selling them was through travelling agents, and direct by mail Not many months ago the pure food department of a western state secured shipment of more than dozen different articles of food from a concern that sold it's products direct to the consumer. Analysis of all the articles proved each and every one adulterated. Bak- ing powder was composed of cheap flour, starch, tartaric acid and alum what was labeled pure spices" con sisted of ground bark and 6 highly concentrated favoring substance So t was with al the goods Since the pure food laws have been in effect, many of these concerns have quit business.

s. r. PRICE GRANTED
RELEASE ON BAIL
Circuit Court of Appeal Re-
verses Decision of Judge
af Shanghai

Application for relase on bail was
granted s. r. Price pending an appeal
from the United States court at Shang
hai. China. by the circuit court of sp-
peal yesterday. Price had been con-
Victed and sentenced to three months
imprisonment. Judge Wiley, before
whom he was tried. denied him bail.
The ac%On Of Judge Wilhey in refus-
ing the prisoner bail was brought be-
fore the last congress. The secretary
OF state declared that the judge was
right in refusing bail. having the power
fn such matters as formerly exercised
bE the United States minister.
Sterling Fessenden Of the Shanghai
bar made a special trip TO San Fran
cisco for the purpose of asking the cir
cult court or appeal to refuse the order
Of Judge Wiley. United States Attor-
neV DeVlin at the request of Attorney
General Bonaparte represented the gov
ernment in the matter.
Prices application was based upon
the fact that il was a practice in the
federal court TO admit to bail generally
pending an appeal. In this respect the
practice was different from that of the
state court
The court ordered Price released on
81 600 cash bail or on bonds to be ap-
proved by the judge on condition that
Price appear and answer judgment. The
decision was cabled 10 Price by his at

RFUF'S AIDSPlEAD
GRAND Jury BIAS
Trial of Murphy and Newburgh
for jury Fixing Is Delayed
by Defense
Bert SchIesinger, Attorney for
Defendants, Alleges Prejudice
in Finding Indictment

That the grand jury was prejudiced
when it returned indictments against
Frank Murphy and A. S. Newburgh on
the accusation of tampering with the
Jurors in the Abe Ruef case was the
plea Of Attorney Bert schlesinger in
motion before Judge Murasky yes
5erdsy. The motion was the usual one
sn the graft cases, alleging bias and
prejudice on the part of the grand
jurors.
Schlesinger's motion was nevertheless
rather a surprise TO the court in view
or his announcement Monday that he
would not make a technical fight. Dis
frict Attorney Langdon had assumed"
on this occasion that the trial of the
lawyers would be impeded by technical
motions. and had therefore objected to
"A continuance for fling the answer
Schlesinger was quick to retort that
1-angdOn's assumption" in the present
case was wrong. lie announced that
he wished TO get at the actual trial
just as quickly as possible.
There is a small variation in the
form Of the motion fled today, for the
defense pretends TO know what took
place ia the grand jury meeting. When
the first vote was taken on Murphy's
and Newburgh's guilt on September 4,
81 is alleged. the vote stood nine for
Indictment and five against. Two weeks
later the nine IN question voted affirm
atively on the true bills. taking with
them the prejudice displayed at the
former meeting. Assistant District At
tOrney Harrison said out Of the court
that II this contention were to hold a
ncw jury would be necessary for each
additional indictment returned against
one person.

as associate counsel in the defense.

GAS COMPANY TRIES
TO SECURE 81 RATE
Supervisor McAllister Visited by
Officials and Influenced to
Change Vote
Testifies Before Commissioner
HeacOck That He Was Button
hOled by Eugene de Saba

That the gas company made final
and. secret desperate effort to secure a
dollar rate from the board of super
visors just before the enactment of the
S5 cent ordinance has been revealed
by the testimony Of Supervisor Nc
Allister in the hearing before Commis-
sioner Heacock. McAllister testified
that he was buttonhOled on street cor
ners by officials of the corporation, and
when they perceived that their argu-
ments were Ineffective, they sent rep
resentative of the banking firm OF Hal
sey &c Co. to argue with him. This
agent spent an hour in McAllister' s
office, but his eloquence failed to alter
the situation.
The interest of Halsey & Co. in the
gas rate is due to their position as
financial agent for the corporation
Balsey 6, Co. fioated the last big bond
issue for the gas company and were
therefore interested in obtaining as
high a rate as possible.
After McAllister had testified that Of
ficiaIs Of the gas company had stopped
him on the street to argue for the high
er rate, Attorney Joseph Mayer for the
corporation asked for the names of
these persons.
Well, Mr.. Eugene de Saba was one,
replied McAllister. He is connected
with the company, I believe. The 9TH
er parties were Halsey & Co., who are
the bond holders; one of their head
men. l don't know his name, but l
know him by sight"
Mayer suggested that the man in
question might have been George X.
Weeks. manager of the bond depart
ment for Halsey & Co, but McAllister
stated that he had not learned the name
OF his caller.
He came to the office twice" con-
tinued the supervisor. He was there
for about an hour"
The effort to show that McAllister
had not informed himself sunlcIently
before voting for the SIS cent rate re-
suited rather disastrously for the gas
company. Not only had McAllister
made study of the matter, but he
added that he had been told by one of
the large owners of the Los Angeles
gas company that S5 cents was a very
liberal rate and that 75 cents was
nearer the proper figure.
