SAN FRANCISCO MAY
CONFER WITH SAN DIEGO
Committee from Bay City Coming to
Discuss the Rival
Expositions

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-The di-
recting committee of the Panama-Pa-
cifc exposition movement took the in
itiative today in an effort to bring
about harmonious relations with the
Panama California Exposition COM
pany of San Diego by proposing that
a joint conference be held at Los An
geles next Saturday to discuss the diff
ferences of the two bodies.
The proposal was embodied in tel
egram sent to Col. d. c. Collier, head
of the San Diego company, which
stated that an authorized conference
committee with Charles C. Moore, who
acted as envoy of the Portola directors
to the courts of Europe, as it's chair
man, would be at the Hotel Alexan-
dria, Los Angeles, at $3.50 Saturday
morning, ready to talk the matter over
with a similar committee from San
Diego.
The members of the San Francisco
committee are going to Los Angeles
with an excursion of commercial rep
resentatiVes from the board of trade
and chamber of commerce to attend
aviation week. Should the San Diego
company accept the proposal for con-
ference Mr.. Moore and his associates
have been empowered to act for the
general committee in charge of San
Francisco's plans for an exposition.

JAPANESE AUCTl0NEER
CHARGES DISCRIMINATION
Police Commission Asks if Prosecut-
ing Attorney Eddie Has
Started Trouble

Has Prosecutor Guy Eddie precipi-
tated trouble between Japan and ths
United States? This was the question
the police commissioners want an
swered, and they asked City Attorney
Hewitt to answer it for them last
night. But the city attorney will res
quire a little time to look it UP.
The trouble has arisen over the auo-
tioneer's permit granted by the police
commission to 1. Takai, 143 West Fifth
street. The commission granted this
permit November % and Takai paid
a license fee of $3.50 in advance.
Soon after he had begun business
Prosecutor Eddie's men arrested him
under a state law which prohibits any
one not a citizen of California from
holding an auctioneer's license in this
state. Eddie advised Takai to appeal
to the council for refund of the IL
cense fee, but instead his attorney
took it up with the mayor. TakafS
attorney holds that the prosecutors
action is a violation of treaty rights
between Japan and the United States,
and that the treaty rights supersede
the state law.
Prosecutor Eddie holds that this
view is not correct, as the state law
does not discriminate against Jap
anese or any other nonresident of
the state Under this law a citizen of
Nevada cannot have an auctioneerS
license in California. Japanese can
not be citizens of California, because
they are not citizens of the United
States

TAGGART WILL MAKE WAR
ON ALL LICENSE DODGERS
New Collector Is Determined That
Fees Shall Be Paid Into the
City Treasury

Clarence M. Taggart, the new tai;
and license collector, who succeeds Il.
E. johnson, will ask the council today
to instruct the city attorney to bring
civil actions against those persons who
have not paid licenses for several
years. License lodging is one OF the
most common forms of evading the
burden of the costs of government,
and there are many business men
subject to some form of license VINO
do not pay license fees unless col
lector happens to catch them ana take
it away from them.
The ordinance requires that all IL
cense fees must be paid at the city
hall, but under former Administrations
it has been the habit for the inspec-
tors attached to the city tax ana IL
cense collectors department to collect
the license fees instead of merely in
snecting the licenses held by persons
entitled to them. Under this system
honest business men have grown ac-
customed to having collectors go TO
their places of business and get the
money. But the entire system is ike
Iv to be changed. In his message 10
the new council the mayor recon-
mended that the positions OF Incense
inspector in the tax and license collec-
TORS office be abolished and the work
MT under the entire charge of the po-
lice department ..
But in the meantime Mr.. Taggart
wants thousands of dollars paid lhto

nersons who have failed to pay the
license fees they should

CAUTION URGED
FOR FOOD SUPPLY
TRAGIC DEATH OF TWELVE is
SUBJECT OF LECTURE
"KEEP YOUR FOOD COVERED" is
WARMING DELIVERED
Germs So Small That Little over
sights Give Chance for Death
at Breakfast
Table

Following the tragic death of twelve
members of the Valdez family of Saw
telle, which is supposed to have been
caused by ptomaine poisoning, Mrs.
Charles E. Pearce, instructor of domes-
tic science at the 7. w. c. A, delivered
an informal talk on How to Guard
Against Food Poisoning" yesterday
from 1890 to 1 o'clock in the Mem
bers' hall of the association building.
Keep your food covered" was the
advice given by Mrs. Pearce to all
housewives and women. 1.-The majority
of deaths resulting from food poisoning
are caused by the food being permitted
to stand uncovered and the disease pro-
ducing bacteria finding their way into
the foods, thereby causing fermenta-
ton of the food and rendering it un-
healthful," declared Mrs. Pearce.
"Most persons think that by placing
food in an ice box 1t prevents these
bacteria from working their way into
the food. This is a mistake. The germs
can live longer in a low temperature
than any other degree of temperature,
although it serves to retard to a GER
tain extent the deadly work of the lit
tie germs"
Mrs. Pearce explained how easy it is
for these germs to find their way into
foods, and stated that they are so small
that 6O0,O00,000 could be placed in the
size of a grain of granulated sugar.
Mrs. Pearce distinguished between
the different kinds of bacteria-the dis
ease producing variety and the harm
less kinds, such as are found in vine
gar, yeast, cheese and butter.
"The only way to guard against poi
soning in foods is to sterilize every
thing that is to be kept for some time
before using"
Mrs. Pearce also urged those present
to, buy bread which is wrapped up be-
fore leaving the bakeries, and not to
buy that which is unwrapped when it
is delivered to the consumer ut is
apt to collect many millions of bacte-
ria
The talk yesterday is the first of a
series of practical talks which are to
be held at midday several times during
the week.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 10.-John

M'LACHLAN TRIES
TO AID WRIGHT
CONGRESSMAN'S LETTER AR
RIVES TOO LATE
SUPERVISORS ARE BUSY WITH
PATRONAGE
Rich Plum Taken Away from Man.
ming by Solid Three While
His Back Was
Turned

Congressman James McLachlan for
got the affairs of the nation long
enough on January to write letters
to- the "solid three" and r. w. Prid-
ham of the board of supervisors, re-
uuesting the retention in office of II.
w. Wright as county statistician. His
letters from Washington were received
yesterday, too late to have the desired
effect, or any effect, for that matter;
and it is doubtful if they would have
exerted any influence had they been
received several days ago and prior to
the appointment of Henry Schultz of
Sawtelle last Wednesday.
Report around the board room yes
terday was that the naming of person
to fill the office of county statistician'
which carries with it a salary of $4,000,
was stolen from Supervisor Manning
by the "solid three" when Captain
Manning's back was turned. Wright
was Manning's appointee two years
ago, and the opinion was well ground
ed that the say of the member from
the First district would be given pref
erence when the office needed an in
cumbent.
NeIlis Gives 1t Away
Manning's belief was that the office
was being conducted satisfactorily and
that there was no reason for a change,
but although the choice of holder was
one of the last remaining privileges
accorded him, the temptation to re-
move it from his grasp and put II
where it would do the most poltlcal
good for the chairman member of the
supervisorial triumvirate was too
strong, and the plum went to Schultz
one of Nellis' stanchest supporters.
Manning and Pridham were against
the appointment, but that's all they
could do.
Who will succeed Schultz as county
apiary inspector is the next question
to be determined. The position pays
81 a day for actual time worked, and is
therefore less sought after. Power to
name the man for the place was offered
to Manning last week as a balm for
his wounded feelings. but was disdain-
fully declined with the remark that ne
"didn't want the sop" So far it has
also been declined by Supervisor Prld-
ham. g,
There appears to be a well formed
belief that Ralph Benton, on whom the
principal honey producers of the county
have set their seal of approval, ana
have flooded the supervisors with petit
tiors for his appointment as bee IN
spector, will lose out, unless the bee
keepers get together and compel the
appointment, as was done in the case
of the horticultural commiSsionershlp.
More requests for Benton's appolnI-
ment were received yesterday. The
matter was, however, continued one

ALDRICH DECIDES TO
REMAIN IN THE SENATE
Big Boss from Rhode Island Tells His
Friends He Will Seek
Re-EIection

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Nelson w.
Aldrich, leader of the senate, an
nounced last summer that he would
retire from public life at the end of his
present term, March 8, 1911. He said
at the time that he believed he had
done his greatest work in the tariff bill,
and that the monetary commission plan
to be submitted would be passed before
his retirement.
Senator Aldrich now announces to his
friends that he will be a candidate for
reelection. He said that he had found
that a reorganization of the financial
system of the United states opens so
many questions that it is impossible to
tell when it will be accomplished.
II am going to stay in the fight to
the finish,'' he said.
Senator Aldrich has demonstrated
that he is able to stay in the fight as
far as Rhode Island is concerned, as
under the township system of election
he has not to control the popular vote
but the vote of any certain township,
on which he has been able to rely I'M
plicitly.

MORE PAY FOR ROAD
BUILDERS REFUSED
Supervisors Decline to Increase the
Wages at the Request of
the Highway Com
missoners

The lethargic spirit evinced by many
of those directly connected with the
construction of the new system of
highways under the $3,500,000 bond is
sue finally made its impression at the
meeting of the board of supervisors
Yesterday. Since the turning down of
the advisory committee by the super
visors the work is declared to have
been conducted in a go-as-you-please-
et-tomorrow-ta -take-care- -of-itself man
ner that has resulted in the spending
of plenty of money but inconsequen-
tial effects, when time and other
things are considered.
When the highway commission sub
mitted the names of number of per-
sons to the board yesterday with rec
concentrations that their salaries be
increased even the leader of the "solid
three" Supervisor Eldridge, became
eXasperated
"Mr. Chairman" he cried, 81 think
there should be more work and less
promoting in that office"
81 think so. too said Chairman
Nellis.
Then the promotions and recommen-
dations for salary increases were or
deced filed. The increase sought to be
secured was $165 a month, to be divid-
ed among several men working under
Chief Engineer Loder.
The supervisors also declined to act
favorably on the recommendation of
the highway commission that the bid
of f. F. Prendergast for the repairing
under the good roads bond issue of
portions of Slauson, Compton and
Florence avenues be accepted. The
bid was $SO,657, and as the proposed
improvement only covers a distance of
q ,O1S feet the cost if the offer was
accepted would mean an expenditure
of $4,000 a mile. The matter was re-
ferred back to the highway commits
sion, with a request for something
better in the way of a suggestion.

A young man believed to be c. j.
Rishop from papers found in his
clothes died at the receiving hospital
early this morning from a fracture Of
the skull. He was found by the Uni

the car track at the intersection OF
Fifteenth and Main streets, where he
had evidently been thrown from car
as his shoes were scraped and worn
on the sides.
The police of the University station
saw their attention was first called to
the young man by a conductor on a
passing car, who said there was a
imam lying in the middle of the road.
