GOVERNMENT HELPS
DEPRESS SHIPPING
Coast Chambers of Commerce
to Act Against Alleged
Discrimination

Strong efforts are being made on
the part of the associated chambers of
commerce of the Pacific coast to relieve
the depression in shipping affairs
caused by the unusual number of for
eign bottoms on the coast and the fact
that these vessels of foreign register
are sent out here with government coal
and then discharged.
Every chamber of commerce and
commercial body on the entire Pacific
coast has joined in the battle against
what is termed unfair competition. The
situation has been thoroughly discussed
between shipping men and thus far
all agree that the governments method
of chartering tramp colliers has assist
ed and still assists in demoralizing and
depressing the business of American
vessels and regular lines on the Pa
cific coast.
The conditions existing today with
respect to the local shipping depression
are said to be worse than they were
a year ago. Fewer vessels are idle, but
in many trades there has been further
reduction in rates, which means that
the vessels now homeward bound will
suffer on their arrival.
Two trades have been hit harder than
others-wheat to the United Kingdom
and lumber to Australia, because the
tramp fleet now en- route from the At
lantic with government coal chartered
in wheat and lumber Immediately upon
the conclusion of the signing up of the
articles to bring out the coal.
There are seven tramp steamers now
on their way to this coast. They are
all chartered to carry wheat to the
United Kingdom and lumber to Aus
tralia immediately on tho conclusion Of
their present charters.
The existing situation is that nearly
all of the supplies now being trans
ported to the Philippines from the Pa
cific coast is being transported in YES
sells of foreign register. Practically all
of the coal for the United States navy.
on the Pacific, has been carried in
vessels of foreign register. Nearly all
of the supplies being transported from
the Pacific coast, used in connection
with the Panama canal, is being
transported in foreign bottoms.
Although no action has as yet been
taken, it is probable that a meeting
of the chambers will be called and
resolutions adopted and forwarded to
congress. asking that all future char
ters of foreign tramps to be engaged
in carrying coal for the navy be made
IN time charter or government form
basis, or some basis that will prevent
their engaging in American business
on this. coast after they have made
their deliveries

DOCTORS CONDEMN
LIES ABOUT CITY
Story Published in Denver of
plague Scare Denounced
as a Fake
-. |. Stearns," Quoted, Does
Not Exist in San
Francisco

The local physicians in the federal
sions of indignation yesterday when
their attention was called to state
ments published recently in a Denver
newspaper misrepresenting health con-
ditions in San Francisco. The Denver
article purported to be an interview
with j. /. Stearns, described as a San
Francisco lumber dealer. 1t appears
that there is a firm of lumber dealers
known as Stearns brothers, with offices
in the Flood building, but it was said
last night that there was no J. l.
Stearns in the firm and that no men,
Der of the concern had been in Denver
for some years.
For the present at least u. J.
Stearns" remains an enigma, but the
tissue of falsehoods attributed to him
has been given wide publicity. The
as reported in Denver, gave
the impression that San Francisco was
in the throes of a terrible scourge and
in fear of quarantine, when, as mat
ter of fact. there has not been case
of plague for IL months.
DIR. Rupert Blue. who has been in
charge of the preventive campaign in
San Francisco, declared last night that
the city was cleaner than at any time
in its history.
Statements to the effect that there
are cases of plague in the city of San
Francisco are absolutely false" said
Dr.. Blue, "and the suggestion that
other states will quarantine California
must have sprung from lively imagi-
nation. Such statements are false and
vicious. San Francisco today is clean
er and has better sanitary regulations
than at any time in its history. More
over. in this respect it is far ahead of
most of the cities of the United States
The death rate from infectious and
contagious diseases has been reduced
one-half and we have not had a case
of plague since January 80, 1908.
I'VE exercise the closest supervision
over the health of the city through our
organized force of inspectors. These
men visit their respective districts
daily, and not only enforce cleanliness
on the premises, but note every case OF
disease.
The suggestion of quarantine is alb
surd. Why, even the foreign countries
which quarantined the city for a time
when the plague was in existence here
have long since lifted the embargo.
The statements purporting to come
from Mr.. Stearns are not true, and only
give the people of other states wrong
impression of conditions here"

MYSTERY FNV[LOPS
POISONING IN FLAT
Mrs. Jessie Murphy, Her Daugh-
ter and Lodger Taken Vio-
lently iii at Same Time
Girl Had Not Eaten Same Food
as Others for Twenty
four Hours

The police are investigating the pois-
oning of Mrs. Jessie Murphy of 52C
Page street. her year old daughter.
Muriel, and r. +. Reed, a lodger at
Mrs Murphy's home, who were taken
violently i'll yesterday morning. At the
central emergency hospital their cases
We're diagnosed as acute ptomaine pois-
oning- They were in a critical condi-
,tion for several hours, but were all out
of danger last night.
Mystery envelops the case because.
apparently, there is nothing to which
the poisoning can be attributed. Mrs.
Murphy and Reed partook of an oyster
loaf just before retiring about IL
o'clock Wednesday night, and at first
believed that the oysters had poisoned
them. The little girl, however, was not
given any of the loaf and declared pos
itively yesterday that she ate none of
1t yesterday morning. Her symptoms
were exactly the same as those of her
mother and Reed, and her illness oc-
CURED at the same time, yet the three
had not eaten of the same food since
Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Murphy and Reed took dinner
together Wednesday evening at a
Seventh street cafe, but Muriel Murphy
was not with them. Reed. who is a
linotype operator, returned home about
IL o'clock at night, taking with him
the oyster loaf. which he purchased at
the Savoy restaurant at Haight and
Market streets
Muriel Murphy was the first to arise
yesterday morning and about 10 o'clock,
while Reed was dressing, Muriel ran
into the front room of the fiat weeping
and almost tainted in her mothers
arms. Mrs. Murphy called Reed. and
then rushed TO the telephone and sum-
moned DR.. Griffin. While they were
working over the child Reed fell to the
floor in a faint and Mrs. Murphy was
prostrated over the body of her child on
a sofa.
Reed said last night that he be-
lieved all three were unconscious for
at least an hour. He heard DR.. Grif-
fin ringing the door bell, but was too
weak to answer the summons Later
Reed managed to crawl to the front
door and call a neighbor. Policeman
Oliver Cox passed at the same time and
sent for an ambulance. 1t was almost
2 o'clock when the three sufferers ar
rived at the central emergency hospi-
tai.
Dr. Shadworth Beasley said that the
case undoubtedly was ptomaine poison
ing.

WORTHY POOR MAY
GET MEDICINE FREE
Owl Drug Stores Will Fill Pre-
scriptions on Written Order
From Physicians

plan by which the public veal may
be better cared for has been evolved
by the management of the Owl drug
company. whose stores are located in
San Francisco, Oakland and Los Ange-
les. 1t will be put in operation imme-
diately. The company believes that the
new step will receive the Endorsement
of the public.
Like many other concerns. the Owl
drug company has been called upon
by many worthy charitable organiza-
tions to advertise in all sorts of pro-
grams, to give cash and merchandise
prizes for different competitive events
and to purchase tickets. 1t has always
contributed literally to such affairs,
but the management announced yester-
day that because the requests were
becoming frequent, and not wishing to
discriminate between one worthy cause
and another, it had concluded to dis
continue advertising in programs, do
mating prizes and purchasing tickets.
As the company depends, however, upon
the general public for business sup
port and patronage, plan has been
formulated by which good can be di-
rectly accomplished for the general
public.
Consistent with the policy and spirit
of New San Francisco the company in

entation of a note or an order from any

operative Immediately every doctor in
cities where Owl drug stores are To-
Gated has been notified that a note or
order written upon the imprinted side
of his card will be sufficient to obtain

may write. BY this plan the company
hopes to place its help where it is most
needed and where the good will be
Immediately derived
Members of the company predict sue
cess for the new plan, realizing that
it will add to the number of existing

believed that every doctor and charity
worker will indorse the plan. 1t will
provide means by which every poor
family may obtain necessary medicines,
which as a rule are expensive.

GRAHAM is AGAINST
CALLING GRAND JURY
Presiding Judge Will Not Grant
Request Unless Urgency
Is Shown

No grand jury will be summoned by
Presiding Judge Graham unless press
ing necessity for that course is shown
by the district attorney. The. judge
said yesterday that if no change in the
present status of the matter occurred
before January 4, when a new presiding
Judge will be named, he would leave it
to his successor to summon a jury.
The district attorney, who through his
assistant, Robert Harrison, applied in
open court Wednesday to have a grand
Jury impaneled, says there are several
matters ripe for submission to an In
quisitorial body Judge Graham takes
the position that the holiday season is
a very inconvenient time to take men
away from their business and ask them
to serve on a grand jury, and he there
fore will not summon a jury unless
extraordinary reasons are shown why
it should be done.
