to take that step.
The complaints on injunction were

no power or authority to remove them
from office until the expiration Of their
terms.
A bond in $500 to cover costs was
hied by each petitioner.

CURES INSOMNIA,
But LOSES ASHMAN
San Rafael Electrician Makes
Live Wire of Garbage Can
Unknown to Scavenger
[ Special Dispatch 10 The Call

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 29-An electri-
fed ash can, a badly frightened ash
man and Inspector of Streets George
B. Millen were the principals in an
exciting little drama enacted in the
latter's back yard here last night.
Millen, who is an electrician, has suf-
fered from insomnia of late because
numerous cats and dogs carried on n
nocturnal combat in the vicinity of the
household garbage can. Being of an
ingenious mind he connected the can
with electric wires containing so volts.
Peace followed, except for an occasional
howl or plaintive meow when an un-
wary cat or dog came in contact with
the can.
But he failed to count on Giuseppe
Giacomo, the ash man. Giuseppe, late
on his rounds, arrived in Millen's yard
by moonlight. Innocent of what was
in store for him he seized both handles
of the ash can to hoist it to his shoul-
der. What followed brought Millen to
the door with pale face. He thought
murder was being committed. Ashman,
can and cover were in a lively mixup
on the ground. Millen tried to explain,
but Giuseppe fled. Now the street in
spector is looking for new ashman.

BOARD OBJECTS TO
ARISTOCRATIC CITY
Trustees of San MateO Decide
to Oppose Incorporation OF
Hillsborough
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SAN MATEO, Jan. 2s.-That the pro-
ipality known as the City of Hills
borough" will have opposition at the
meeting of the board of supervisors
February Z, when they petition for the
incorporation of their lands, became
known today when the San Mateo city
trustees held caucus and decided to
demand that a reasonable field for
expansion to the west be left intact for
future annexation.
The original incorporation propo-
sition of San Mateo was to include
within its limits the Homestead, the
Parrott and Clark properties, Highland
Park and Ell Cerrito which, the trus-
tees say, gives San Mateo prior right
to these lands. With the waters of the
bay on the east and the town of Bur-
linSame on the north, San Mateo can
expand only to the west and south. If
the "Hillsborough" project, as now
planned, is carried out, San Mateo will
be limited to annexation in a southerly
direction.
The trustees directed City Attorney
Charles N. Kirkbride today to prepare
resolution setting forth the demands
of San Mateo and have it in readiness
for adoption at the regular meeting
Monday night. This resolution will be
presented to the board of supervisors
February z, when the petition of the
residents of the proposed Hillsborough
comes up before that body.
The San Mateo board also asserts
that portion of the Highland Park
sewage is emptied into the pipes of the
city and that other public utilities are
used by the residents of the section,
who are attempting to cut the town off
from further expansion.

EDWARD Ill FIRST TO
FIX TAX ON FOREIGNERS
Imposed Duties Without Aus
thority of Parliament

The question of the propriety and pos
sibiIity of taxing the foreigner is not
new one, but was raised in interesting
circumstances in the reign of Edward
III. says the Westminster Gazette. The
king imposed certain duties on import
ed merchandise without the authority
OF parliament, and defended his action
on the ground that the duties were to-
be paid by foreigners and that the mat
ter, therefore, in no way concerned his
English subjects. The commons, how
ever, most emphatically insisted that
this was by no means the case, and
Edward III thought it we'll to revise
his policy. The curious may read an ac.

RAIN AND FOG AFFECTS
TIDES, SAY SAILORS
Fishermen's Odd Beliefs Re-
garding Rise and Fall

1t is a common belief among smacks-
men, says the London Spectator, that
if it starts to rain at high water it will
continue for the whole of the ebb They
will say one to another: II doubt that'll
rain the ebb daown," or Were a-goen
to have an ebb's rain" Others say
that they will have "a coarse food" if
it starts to rain at low water on the
flood
Again. on calm summer morning, if
it is high water at or O'clock and
the wind then springs up easterly-
that is, sea breeze-there will be an
easterly wind all day. But if the tide
is a midday one there will be no wind
till high water Many have noticed
that sometimes it will blow fresh
wind just on high water when there
has been no wind before, and there is
none after high water.
Fishermen have told the writer that
if they get ashore on a sandbank in a
bit of sea they can tell at once
whether the tide is ebbing or flowing
by the way the vessel bumps. On the
flood tide, they say, the sand is alive,
but on the ebb it is dead and has no
give" in 1t. They Will point out, too,
that in a fat calm and flood tide the
sand can be seen boiling up" in the
water. but never on the ebb. Certainly
smacksmen believe that frost checks
the tides. They say it's 'nips' them. a
play upon the word "neap," which they
use as a verb and pronounce nip"
Many say that fog checks the tides,
and certainly the writer believes it, for
he once spent week ''neaped' on a
sand bank owing to this. 1t had been
foggy for three or four days and the
little yacht had CROPPED it's way amid
fog and sand banks to near home. The
fog lifted in the morning and close at
hand in the Swim he~saw 27 steamers
getting under way in hurry. Four
hours later the fog showed signs of
shutting down again. By this time it
was getting on his nerves, so he de-
cided to try the short cut home across
the Maplins into Havengofe creek. He
consulted the skipper of barge an
chored near as to the water available.
The skipper asked the yachts draft and
said The way the tides a-comen up
you'll ave foot and a 'arf to spare.
But he was wrong, for one hour before
high, water the tide stopped rising. Do
what one could the yacht could not be
moved. The tides were taking off, or
diminishing, and the little ship was
"neaped' and not due to float for IL
days. Luckily after six days, when
there ought to have been a bare foot
of water around her at high water, a
northwest wind sprang up, brought a
good tide and she fioated. 1t was an
anxious week, particularly at high
water, for sometimes, although the lit
tie vessel did not float she bumped un-
til the owners teeth ratified, for the
sand it very hard both on the flood and
ebb, with all due difference to those
who know better. Vessels have been
known to be "neaped" for months.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Steps were
