BERKELEY SAVANT
HONOR[D BY UNION
Carpenters Give Token Of Es-
TEEN to Prof. Lewis for
Public Services

BERKELEY, Aug. 14.-In apprecia
local labor as president of the board
of education, Prof. e. P. Lewis of the
department of physics of the university
and former head of the school board
of this city, was the recipient of a
handsome punch bowl and set and an
bership in Berkeley lodge No. 1850 of the
united brotherhood of Carpenters and
joiners of America. The ceremonies
took place in Odd Fellows hall in Adj
olson street tonight and the full mem
bership of the union and the former
board of education attended. The al
fair was the occasion for much speech
making.
The presentation of the punch bowl
and set and certificate of honorary
membership is the result of the appeal
made by the local carpenters year
ago that none but Berkeleyans be en-
ployed on the public buildings here.
The delegation which waited upon
Professor Lewis, who is exceedingly
popular, pointed out that no Berkeley
men were employed In the pulldlng OF
the new municipal wharf and that nine
outside carpenters had been employed
in the building of the city hall now
nearing completion.
The new polytechnic high school was
then started by the board or educallo1
ard II was the wish of the carpenters
here that only local men should work
on it. Professor Lewis promised to IN
res+ieate the matter, which he did with
sncb success that only carpenters liv-
ing here were given employment.
The union waited upon PROFESSOR
Lewis several months ago when he was
still president of the board, and asked
him to accept the certif1cate OF mono
gift until his term of Office had expired

serge suits valued at s45. tuxedo
suit valued at $40, a pair of trousers
with light stripe valued at IS and
other articles have been reported stolen

Of the department of psychology of the
university.
The thieves neglected to secure a
number of other valuables in the way
Of works of art. but only stole the
clothing from the home of the uni
versity philosopher at sc Panoramic
way.
The theft was committed during the
absence Of Professor Stratton and his
family on their vacation trip. Dur
ing their absence the house was be-
ing repaired and it is the belief of
Professor Stratton that some of the
workmen employed there may know
something of the robbery.

Der of complaints from residents of

Place Your Advertising Agent
On His Mettle

That has been our policy long.
For nearly ten years our main expense has
been our copy department. The head of it re-
ceives $1,000 per week
BY years of seeking-by sitting hundreds of
men-we have gathered around US the ablest
corps of advertising men in America.
Now we are ready TO handle advertising
without any contract whatever.
We are willing to meet all corners, and ready
to abide by results.
If any agent can sell more than we. on any
account, he can have it.
On the other hand we claim entitIement to
any account where we can outse1 the rest.

There is way to prove an agent out before
you make any commitment.
There is way to know-beyond any ques-
tion-which agency can sell the most goods.
There is way to find out. by actual figures.
if our able men can improve your results
There is a way to get more light than you
ever have had on your advertising-Hght that
may be worth fortune
If you want to know it, please write US, and
we will explain the way

- Don't give him contract for from one to
three years.
Don't say, "For this period all the advertis-
ing place is to be placed through you"
Make him fight to keep your business as
hard as he fights to get it.
And let the keeping or the getting be decided
by comparative results.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-08-15

Business Opportunities for everv-
body can be found in the classified
section of today's paper. Start in bust
ness for yourself
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-08-15

This policy will come like bomb, we know,
into the old-time agency camps
They will say, "How can agents sleep if
their business becomes as unstable that?'
You don't want them to sleep-that's exactly
the point You want them to keep to the mark
Make an agent prove when he solicits your
business, that he can outsell the rest.
And make him prove, so long as he keeps it,
that no other concern can outsell him.
What would be the, result if advertisers in
general adopted this sensible policy?
It would simply be this.
No smooth-tongued statesmen, improved
boasts, no snowy ads would go.
Soliciting expense would be largely wiped
out The cost of getting contracts signed
would be spent on increasing clients results.

PIERRE. S u. Dec. 24|Special.)-
In the days when Pierre was young, and
gun law was. in many cases, the final ar
bitter OF disputes. a tract OF land. on what
is now the state capitol grounds. was used
as a burial place, and a number OF burials
occurred on that tract before a regular
cemetery was established. Among those
buried were some who were known only
by some familiar first name, and when
they were under ground. no one thought
again Of their graves. About twenty years
ago. a contract was let for the removal Of
all the bodies in that tract, which had not
sooner been removed TO the regular burial
ground, and it was supposed hat all were
taken up until last evening. when the big
steam shovel on the work brought out the
bones OF one Of the forgotten ones. While
nothing but the skeleton was found, the
top OF the skeleton was covered witt red
hair. A little work with a shovel brought
out the bones not disturbed by the big
scoop Of the steam shovel. and AL were
placed in a box for rebUrial. Inquiry
among the older esidents fails to In any
way Identity who might have been
buried at that spot and it was probably

OMAHA. Dec. ITO the Editor OF The

in which 1 may answer the question asked
by yourself in a recent issue. Does Leidy
fear Thomas
II is recognized that The Bee is anxious
to promote public good. that it's columns
are not TO be used for the dissemination
OF any information that may be used for
the IL OF society. Therefore, OF course.
your question as to the regard I have
for M. Thomas. is for the enlightenment
or protection OF the' public. The thanks Of
the public are due you for the knowledge
you have given as 10 the hxity OF the
public prosecutor In not bringing these
offenders and violators Of the Slocumb
law TO task. But. as - Mr.. -homas's
connection In the matter. your meaning Is
not clear enough. for MI. Thomas has the
fun confidence Of myself and. therefore.
1 have no fear Of Mr.. Thomas
But. Just why Mr.. English seems to be
so strongly disinclined to prosecute vio-
lators OF the Slocumb law Is a question
that remains unanswered. I am sure r
you can obtain the answer 70 that question,

KEARNET, Noa- Dec. U-ro ire Editor
Of The Bee. I notice In a recent issue Of
The Bee an account Of a suit instituted
against an elevator oompanv for alleged
violation % = law passed last winter BY
the democratic legislature and am con
strained a. this time 20 review a little
legal history and ask FOR soue lnforma-
ton TO guide willing feet 70 the paths Of
righteousness and Legality.
Three years agu the attorney general Of
Nebraska hailed the Nebraska Grain Deal
srs' association ard several Individual
firms. including he firm above mentioned,
into the supreme court on a. writ charging
them with a violation % the antitrust
laws Of the state, alleging they were pay
ing the same prices for grain At all
towns. freight rates and quality OF HrAin
considered. As none Of no grain dealers
were Interested In the outcome Of t1a suit
no defense was offered and on defAult the
supreme court dissolved the association
and permanently sn5oined the dealers from
fixing uniform prices for grain. Cor the
reason. as stated BY the vorut that free
competition should be had at every town.
That Injunction Is stan in force.
Last winter that bright constellation OF
big-wigs. known to hiscor. rs the demo-
cratic Legislature. passed an antitrust law,
making it unlawful for an elevator firm
to pay more for Erain in one town than
another. freight rates and qualify Of
grain considered. and a violation subject

Il is under this law that proceedings we're
