HIGH PRICES RUIN
MEAT RETAILERS
Butchers Association Alarmed
at the Slump in Their
Trade in This City

The meatman has grown tired of the
public clamor against the soaring of
prices for steaks and chops. He says
he has borne the brunt of the attack
long enough. In stepping from under
he has shifted the responsibility to the
wholesale butchers, because they ex-
act such high prices from him. A
remedy is proposed in a resolution
which is to be forwarded to congress,
asking that stock be admitted into
the country free of duty.
The Retail Butchers association of
this city this week devoted much time
to discussing the situation and consid-
ering a way of maintaining their own
existence. High prices have resulted
in an automatic boycott on the part of
the poor consumers, who do not feel
able to buy meat at existing prices.
The situation is not as serious for
the retailers here as it is in the east
but the falling off in trade has greatly
affected their trade and compelled
several butchers TO go out of business.
At the meeting of the association this
week the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, that the members of
this association assert that. While
Allt ltAd4ltA - DldultN LOi TIE lllSn
prices Of meat. the stockmen. pro-
tected by the high tariff, are really
responsible. If stock were admit
ted free prices would decline and
losses now being sustained by the
retailers on account of public
clamor would cease.
Similar resolutions have been adopt
ed by associations in Los Angeles
and other cities throughout the United
states. They are being sent to con-
gress as memorials. with pleas TO the
local congressman to work for the
elimination of the tariff on cattle.
The situation confronting the retail
butcher is a serious one" said Assist
ant Secretary J. NJ. Gilbert yesterday.

Miss Eleanor Hart Grapples
With Thief and Throws
Him Down Stairs
Fugitive Runs Into Berkeley
Bank Cashier, Who Aids
in Making Arrest

BERKELEY, Feb. 1S.-Fearlessly
seizing burglar whom she found in
her bedroom Miss Eleanor Hart, the
Il year old daughter of Mrs. G.. M.
hart OF 2219 Atherton street, Crap
pled With the man in an attempt TO
arrest him, but when he broke away
she followed for two blocks, chasing
MIN into the hands of Joseph ;. Mills,
assistant cashier of the Berkeley ma
tlonal bank, who made the arrest.
The burglar gave the name of Arthur
Gum and is booked at the police sta
tion, charged with a felony.
MISS Hart, who is exceptionally
good looking, was badly scratched
during the fight which was carried on
hercely in the lower hallway of her
home and out into the street.
BURGLARS ARM SPRAINED
Gum, however, received the worst
of the encounter from the athletic
away from her. His right arm is Sc
verely sprained and he has numerous
bruises about the body as evidences
or the plucky fight made by Miss Hart
to hold him until the arrival of the
police.
Il saw the man in the bedroom of
my home yesterday afternoon about 5
o'cloek" said Miss Hart, who was cool
and collected in spite of her exciting
adventure. He seemed to be peering
around the room looking for some
thing. I asked what he wanted and
he made a break for the door.
put my arms out and tried to
stop him, but he evaded me, running
into the hallway. He was going so
fast however, that he slipped on a
rug, falling to the floor. l imediately
ran and seized him, holding him down
by the wrists.
PLEADS FOR HIS LIBERTY
He kicked and fought and broke
away again, running to the front door.
He slipped again. however, at the
head of the stairs and 1 pushed him
down the flight. His arm struck on
the balustrade and he cried out with
pain that his arm was broken. He
soon got up before I could reach him
again, and darted down Atherton street
to Allston way.
He was fleet of foot, but l man
aged to keep nearly up with him as
he ran up Allston way to Ellsworth
street. l shouted to Mr. Mills, who
was on his way home, to stop the
thief, and the burglar was collared by
him.
Il ran up and also grabbed him,
while Gum pleaded TO be turned loose,
saying that he did not intend to take
anything from my room. But in spite
of his pleadings we turned him over
to Policeman Frank Waterbury, who
took him to the station"
TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS
When Gum arrived at the station
it was found that he had also robbed
the home OF Adolph de Villers of 2407
Fulton street, securing a watch, green
stone ring, gold necklace and other
jewels.
Miss H. C. Hanna of 1919 Atherton
street also reported that the man en-
tered her home, but ran out again
when he was detected. Nothing was
stolen there.
According to the police, Gums
father is a book keeper employed by
the electric light company of Portland,
although he claims Los Angeles as his
home. Gum declared that betting on
the races was the cause of his down
fall.

Appeal in Case

The effort of Antonio Maria Peralta
and other heirs of Don Luis Peralta to
regain a large part of Alameda and
Contra Costa counties on the strength
of an old Spanish grant, was renewed

obtained an order of appeal from Judge
Van Fleet of the United States circuit
