afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the dis
cussion Of matters of interest in con-
nection with the city's> movement to

committee of the board of supervisors.
Chairman Giannini announced the call
yesterday and said the legal queries
propounded by the representatives, of
the Merchants association would be
among the matters given definite
answer at that time. City Attorney
Long yesterday, after a cursory exam
ination of the questions. stated that
the objections did not seem of great
weight, but would be fully consid-
cred.
Members of the board expressed sur
prise yesterday at Supervisor Pollok's
persistency in demanding Immediate
answers in the board meeting to the
queries only submitted to Giannini Sat
urday noon and held that the haste
displayed by Pollok was almost indie
cent. The latters connection with the
gas company as general manager at
the time President Bourn of the
Spring Valley company was the head of
the gas corporation was the only ex-
PLANTATION given for Polloks continued
obstructive tactics to the committees
and the boards action looking to the
requirement of the Hetch Hetchy
source Pollok is on record as having
praised the Hetch Hetchy reservoir site
and the character of the water when,
with the board members, he visited the
valley in August, but he has not ceased
to find legal difficulties in the citys
way ever since.

! LOOT OF BURGLARS
Papers Stolen More Than 20
Years Ago From Lawyer
Sent to Police
Unsigned Missive Says DOcu-
ments We're Found in House
Left by Thief

The police would like to know
whether package received by mail
by Chief Buggy yesterday from New

nearly quarter of century ago, ana
whether the package was sent by the

In the package was the following let
ter:
Enclosed you will find papers found
in house vacated by Barney Mcclure.
As he was an offender of the law and
got in trouble in your city some years
ago with a man named John Wise and
Dunn. 1 thought they, being confidence
men and in with burglars. might be
taken from the right owner. So / feel
| do right to send them to you. as he
is on the same business here, New

WINEMEN AGREE TO
AID GRAPE GROWERS
Conference Results in Agree
ment to Oppose Legislation
EnimicaI to Industry

After a brief conference held yes
terday morning at the headquarters of
the California grape growers associa-
ton, at which representatives of the
association and of the dry wine dealers
were present. it was decided that both
interests should unite in an effort to
prevent unfavorable legislation against
the wine industry. The meeting was
of special Importance because a tele-
gram was sent to Washington on Mon
day by the dry wine men requesting
President Roosevelt to defer action
upon the sweet wine clause of the
internal revenue regulations until the
chief executive received a full explana-
ton from the dry wine men of the
state as to their attitude toward the
proposed modification
For a time it appeared that the eff
forts of the sweet wine men TO secure
the modification would be opposed by
the dry wine men, but the meeting
yesterday had the effect of uniting both
interests. A. Chalk. representing the
dry wine men, and f. c. Priber and
c. j. Wetmore. representing the grape
growers association, discussed the mat
ter at length. At the conclusion of the
conference the following telegram was
sent to President Roosevelt:
President Theodore Roosevelt. Wash
ington, ID. c.:
In an interview with the dry wine
dealers who sent a dispatch on Octo-
Der p, signed French-American wine
company it was ascertained that the
telegram was not sent 70 oppose the
using Of native sweet wines for COM
pounds, but to avoid the free use of
fortified wines for dry wine compounds
