START TEST SUIT ON
GROCERS' LIQUOR TAX

Suit: to test the validity of the ordi-
nance imposing a tax of $3.50 a year
on grocers and others selling wines,
beers or spirits in original packages in
quantities of one quart or more and
less than five gallons, was instituted
yesterday by John Rapp & Son, A II.
Lochbaum company, Tacoma bottling
company Union brewing and mailing
company, Connolly Brothers, j. w.
King company, and III. .Methmann, gro
GERS. The complaint, which was drawn.
by Attorney Hiram w. Johnson, names
the police commissioners, the police
judges and Chief of Police w. ]. Buggy
as defendants. An injunction is prayed
for restraining the defendants from en-
forcing the ordinance and also judgment
declaring it invalid, Illegal and void.
1t is asserted by the plaintiffs that
under the charter the city has no
power to impose a license tax upon
dealers in liquors except upon those
engaged in selling liquors in quantities
of less than one quart, and to be drunk
upon the premises-in other words the
city may tax only saloon keepers and
not grocers and wholesalers. 1t is
further urged that while the ordinance
purports to regulate the sale of liquors
it is in fact an ordinance for revenue
only.
A temporary restraining order was
signed by Judge Murasky enjoining
the police from arresting violators of
the ordinance and the police judges
from trying them This order will re-
main in force pending the determine
tiOn of the suit

EX=PUGILIST ACCUSED OF
THREATS TO KILL WIFE

James Lawlor, ex-pugilist and sa-
loon keeper, was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Policeman Prolette on a
warrant from Police Judge Cabaniss'
court charging him With threats
against life. He was released on $100
cash bail.
His wife. Linda, who lives at 265
Grove street, was the complaining wit
ness. She said that she had been COM
PEELED to leave her husband two weeks
ago owing to harsh treatment. He
called at her rooms June Is, she said,
and choked her, threatening to throw
her out of the window If she did not
pack up her clothes and return to him
Fearing for her life she consented.
On Monday. while she was in an auto
mobile returning from lunch, he
stopped the machine, took the rings
from her fingers and again threatened
to kill her. The chauffeur went in
search of a policeman and when one
appeared Lawlor had gone, according
to her charges.

GALLAGHER'S HOUSE
AGAIN is SPIED ON
Man of Mystery Turks Close to
Scene of Dynamiting
of Buildings

OAKLAND, June 3O.-A mysterious
man has been seen shadowing the
dwellings at Perkins and Belmont
streets which We're damaged by dyna-
mite when owned by former Supervisor
James l.. Gallagher and George McRae-
The police believe that he is the same
person who was seen in the neighbOr-
hood on the day the dynamite outrage
was perpetrated.
Geore E. McRae, former partner of
the chief witness against the higher
ups in the graft cases, saw this man of
mystery scrutinizing the houses one
afternoon and that night the explosion
took place. At that time McRae paid
little heed to the man and it was not
until he saw the same person in the
neighborhood last Saturday that he re-
ported the presence OF the suspected
shadow in the region of the houses to
Captain Petersen.
McRae was shown so photographs
from the rogues' gallery. Mcaae in
formed Petersen that the man he had
seen few hours before resembled a
photograph, which was that of Fred +.
WilheIms, once arrested on suspicion
of being implicated In the first Gala
CHER dynamiting.
Wilhelms was arrested and held in
custody for several days. He was
known to have been associated with
Detective Tom Gibson of the United
Railroads bureau, and after being held
for several days was released.
Gallagher recently sold his partner
ship in the property north of Lake
Merritt, including the three cottages, to
McRae and DIR. E. F. Card. He said at
that time that he was done with realty
transactions, which gave his foes op-.
portunittes to destroy his properties.

GAS FROM SMfLTER
KILLS old PLANTS
University Professors Hold That
Deadly Fumes Have No Effect
on Young Vegetation

BERKELEY. June S0.-The effects OF
smelter fumes and other gases on
plants. subject which has resulted
in considerable controversy during the
last few years. is the subject of bull
letin issued from the University OF
California today by Professor W. J. v.
Osterhout Of the faculty of the Depart
ment Of botany. In conjunction with
Professor Edmund O'Nein of the de-
partment of chemistry. who has made
a thorough study of the composition
of the smelter fumes. the university
bOtanist holds that drought and pois-
onous vapors have an entirely different
effect on plant life. I'M that the for
mer attacks the old leaves Of the plants
first, while the smelter fumes first
affect the tender shoots snd leaves.
The university scientist asserts that
his experiments have been conclusive
in every particular. He said:
My experiments on frnit trees, grapev ines
and other plants have given similar results.
They have also shown that the green rind OF
the young stems which is quickly affected BY
drought, is the last to be anected by the pOis-
Onous sulphur dOxide
My field observations have borne out the re-
suit OF the experiments.
1t therefore seems possible to distinguish be-
tween the effects OF poisonous fumes and nat

JOHN ROEBLING'S. SONS
LOSE AUTOMOBILE SUIT

Judgment adverse to John Roebling' s
Sons company. was rendered by Judge
Mogan yesterday in the suit, against
the Motor car agency company for the
return Of $3.50. A year ago the
Roeblings company paid that price for
an automobile, which was found un-
satisfactory. The defendant company
supplied another in its place, ana, ac-
cording to the plaintiffs, undertook 10,

NIANTIC BUILDING SOLD
TO HASTINGS ESTATE

The Mantle building, on the north
west corner of Sansorhe and Clay
streets, was sold yesterday by the l.
Scatena company to William Giselman.
trustee of the Hastings estate, for
$220,0 200.
The building has recently been COM
pleted and partly leased. 1t is a four
story basement structure of reinforced
concrete with frontage of 91x73 and
is regarded as one OF the best loft
buildings in the city.
l.. Scatena, in speaking of the deal,
said he was we'll satisfied with the
sale and thought it a remarkably good
transaction.
It will be remembered that few
months ago the trustee of the Hastings
estates sold to the Southern Pacific
block of land in the southern part. of
the city for the sum of $S00,000. Will
liam Giselman is using this money in
purchasing property in the downtown
district, which shows his faith in San
Francisco realty.
Not long ago Giselman bought the
Knickerbocker, Barker and Bostwick
property for S175.OOO; this is located
ON Second street. 80 feet southeast of
Minna. and it is reported that he is still
in the market for good future paying

DISCOVERS SODIUM
HELPS PLANT LIFE
Prof. w. j. V. Osterhout Shows
the Salt Protects Vegetation
as Well as Animals

BERKELEY, June 30.-A series of I'M
vestigations to determine the effects
OF sodium on plant life and thus es-
tablish a point of agreement between
animals and plants, with the signifi-
cant bearing on the phenomena OK
life has been begun by Professor w. j.
v. Osterhaut, one of the foremost
botg.lists of the Pacific coast and a
member of the faculty of the state
university. The first public announce
ment of the: research work of Pro-
fessor Osterhout was made in bulle-
tin issued at the university today en-
titled The Value of Sodium to Plants
by Reason of Its Protective Action
Professor Jacques Loeb, whose dis
coNerfes' in the search for the germ of
life have made his name famous in the
realm of science, was the first to learn
of the reactive properties of sodium on
animals. Professor Osterhout has ap-
piled sodium and other salts to plants
and has discovered that sodium is of
the greatest value to plants, con
trary to the old idea that the salt was
a reagent only. for animals
Professor Osterhout gave the follow
ing account of. his work thus far:
The traditional view that sodium is of no
value 10 the plant must be given up or at least
so modlhed' as TO admit the usefulness Of sodium
as a protective agent. A comparison of the pro-
tectiEe action of sodium among animals and
plants makes 1t evident that in general the same
relations obtain in both groups. 1t seems clear
that sodium has no nutrient function in plants,
but only protective action, and this seems to
be also the for animals
Is there a difference between animals and
plants in that other elements can replace sodium
in its protective function in plants but not in
animals: Loeb has called attention to the great
Importance of the protective action of sodium
Tor muscle and nerve and cited the necessity for
sodium as a characteristic difference between
plants and animals. At that time no parallel
case where sodium is indispensable was known
10 exist among plants. have, however, In an
extensive series of experiments found that many
marine algea are unable TO dispense with the
protective action of sodium. They cannot live
long or continue TO grow in normal manner
whore other elements substituted for sodium
l hope TO discuss this fully in a subsequent
paper.
From what has been said it is evident that the
behavior of sodium toward plants and animals
IS strlklngly similar and that sodium may render
the plant useful service protective agent;
In the case of certain plants it appears TO be
Indispensable This discovery constitutes new
and important point of agreement between ami
mails and plants and has important bearing
on the theory of life phenomena.
