RANCHERS REBUKE
THE LOCAL POLICE
Hayward POultrymen Say Doing
Business in Great City Is
Some Hazardous

A resolution, in which the police de-
partment is characterized as mani
festly inefficient" has been passed by
the Hayward poultry producers asso-
citation and forwarded to the police
commissioners of this city.
The complaint is inspired by the
theft of a team and wagon filled with
produce. which loss was suffered by a
member of the association during
March. The theft was reported to the
department. but no capture has been
effected. The resolution recites that
the owner pointed out the suspected
person to an officer of the department.
but no action was taken.
1t is further alleged that members Of
the association have repeatedly been
the victims of thieves whose place Of
residence has been reported in the Po-
trero.
In concluding. the censure- is as fol-
lows:
And we do hereby request that the
said commissioners do investigate the
said manifest inefficiency of the police
department and remedy the cause at
the earliest possible date so that the
transaction of business in the said city
will not be attended by such unneces-
sary hazard to property"

TO BE RID
OF SCORNED wife
Millionaire German Steelman
Asks Court to Reaffrm De-
cree of Divorce

Judge Graham was asked yesterday
by Attorney C. NJ. Bufford. represent
ing Emil Beerman, a wealthy resident
of Germany, heavily interested in steel
and gun works, to set aside judgment
granted April IS, 1909, which had the
effect of vacating a decree of divorce
previously obtained by Beerman from
his wife, Jennie. The divorce was va
Gated and annulled because Judge Gra-
ham found that Beerman had misled
the court in his assertions that his
wife deserted him.
Mrs Beerman is now in Germany
fighting on behalf of herself and her son
for a share of the Beerman fortune. She
has won a decided victory there, mas
much as the German courts have rec
ognized her as the wife of the million
aire steel man, since the divorce was
vacated by Judge Graham.
This decision gives Mrs. Beerman and
her son a claim upon his wealth and
also nips in the bud a plan of Beer
mans to marry a German woman of
noble family.
The Beermans were married in vi
emma September II. 1892. Mrs. Beer
man asserts that Beerman deserted her
in Berlin, but she followed him to
America and they lived together in
several cities He left her again in
Texas, and, coming to San Francisco,
obtained an alleged surreptitious di-
vorce-the decree that was set aside by
Judge Graham last year.

Want Metal Baseboards

The public building committee of the
board of supervisors decided yester-
day to ask the board to make another
amendment of the building law Some
time ago representatives. of the
Eureka vermin proof firestop con-
struction company petdioned that the
insertion of a metallic Dashboard in
all frame buildings be made compul-
sorry. claiming that while the device
it is putting on the market is patented
there are a number of similar con-
trivances and no monopoly can result
The committee recommended accord
ingly the enactment of the following
amendment:
There shall be placed under the first
floor plates in all exterior walls and
interior supporting partitions. where
wooden joists are used a vermin and
fire proof material, which shall ex-
tend the full width of the plate and
for not less than two inches beyond
the plate and underlapping the floor
ing. The same material is also to be
placed around and close up to Chin
neys and pipes at first floor and to
underlap flooring not less than two
Inches. All shall be placed in such

SIKHS COME
FROM THE ORIENT
UnskiIled LabOrers Are Held at
immigration Station on
Angel Island

Thirty more East Indians, most of
them Sikhs, arrived here yesterday on
the liner Chiyo Maru and are now at
the immigration station on Angel
island where they will remain until
Commissioner North places the stamp
of his approval upon their being
landed. These Hindus, like the others
already in the country. have no trade.
Most of them are former soldiers and
they have come here to swell the
ranks of unskilled labor of an indif-
ferent quality.
According to one of the Chiyos pas
sengers who has spent some years in
the Punjaub it is only a few years
since the Hindus dreamed of emigra-
tion as solution for the awful pow
erty that is their lot at home. Their
religion, he said. taught them that to
cross the water" was TO invite disas-
ter now and in the hereafter and they
stayed at home and starved. The dis
appearance of this superstition, he
said was one of the direct results of
education. The only thing that keeps
lack of funds to pay their fare to
America. In the Punjaub they can
earn little more than SO month and
when those who first emigrated wrote
back and told of land where they
could make more than that in a couple
of days they all wanted to start for
that golden country.
Nearly every family owns a little
land. Since they discovered America
all the members of a family combine
TO scrape and save enough to send one
or two members to the United States.
Here they receive, say S1.S0 a Gay.
They will save more than half of this
and can return to India in a few years
with what will seem TO them to be
a huge fortune. The system will work
out like an endless chain, as much of
the money sent home will be used to
pay the fare to America of others, and
unless you stop them you will have
them here by the million"

Knight, Yancey & Co.'s Failure
in Foreign Markets Esti=
mated at S3,000,000

LIVERPOOL. April 22.-There was
sensation in Cottonopolis today born OF
widely circulated statements that
forged bills of lading for cotton. pur-
porting to have been shipped from the
United States. had been uncovered The
alleged fraudulent methods. it was said,
involved cotton valued at S2.5OO.0OO
and. in addition to 80 Liverpool con-
Germs, it was said that several conti-
mental cotton houses were heavy losers.
The alleged false bills of lading were
sent with drafts to this side before the
cotton was delivered by carriers. and
importers in many cases paid such
drafts. When the practice was dis
covered the steamship companies with
held deliveries until the bills OF Iading
were verified. An investigation made
by importers shows that not only were
a number of these bills of lading spuri-
Gus, but that there was actually no
cotton against some of them
Sensational reports of the failure OF
Knight. Yancey & Co.. which hit Liver
pool cotton houses heavily. added to
the excitement.
A cable dispatch from New Orleans
said tonight that knight. Yancey &
Co. were short in Liverpool $4,000
bales. in Havre 5000 bales and in
Genoa 5000 bales This would make a
total loss at current quotations of more
than $4,000, 600.
In Liverpool 26 firms are believed to
have been affected by the failure. "A
Majority of them have large amounts
of capital and will be able to tide over
the situation, but a few viii be seri-
