My first thought after reading

of last week, was that Davis was a
misunderstood humorist, but then his
humor is so labored; it's hard work

virtue into his words.
The Judge CD didn't intend mis- arti-
Gle to be humorous and breezy, but
rather stormy and destructive.
He picked out rather large as

Davis complains that the circular
got out by the Tax League was politi-
cal. certainly 1t was, and the circu.
lar specifically stated that it was so
intended" The circular further stat
ed that, This is tine only time for

The Tax League circular was a
true statement OF the affairs discus
sed. Every fact and figure given be-
ing substantially-if not absolutely
correct. This is why Davis squirms
so. AS an instance of Davis misrep-
resentation OF the contents Of the cir
cular, and the dishonest deductions
he seeks to nave the reader draw, l
quote the following from Davis arti-
Gle: ut would require too much
space at this time to go into details

against me by the Murphy gang. But
one articular part Of the report OF

"Your committee talked with one r.

phatic in his denunciation Of Davis

that no such name as T. o. Semus
appears; that no such name was

what was intended to be "nnes."

Fremont Older, San Francisco:
1t is simply nonsense to suppose

was the statement in the Johnson pa

for Johnson which rendered my state

make any statement in future (sic)

in the Japanese matter, and it Is

construe it in the only way it can
possibly be construed.

Franklin Hichborn, California's leg

open letter to Phil A. Stanton, the

for his legislative record, cites his op-

to measures favored by the people,
and denies the charge of the Stanton
press agents that he has deliberately

Mr.. Hichborn's letter to Stanton,
made public yesterday, is as follows:
phil A. Stanton, Los Angeles, Cal.
Dear Sir: In a pamphlet "A Per
sonal Statement to the Voters of Cali
fornia,' which you are distributing
throughout the state, you take occa-
sion to say that 1 have deliberately
falsifed your record on senate JOINT

that 1 have deliberately misrepresented
your position on this measure
I'm reply 1 will say:
"First-That in The Story of the
California Legislature of 1909 l nave
published a table of assembly votes,
showing that you voted for the assem-
bly, amendments to senate joint reso-
luton No. 3.
"Second-That in letter written to
the editor of the Anaheim Gazette l
pointed out that the assembly amend
ments to senate joint resolution No. 3
struck from that measure those sec
tions which urged the establishment or
government line OF steamers on the
Pacific.
"Third-That these statements-as
you know as we'll as I-are borne out
by the records of the legislature of
1909.
'Wherein, would ask, have 1 falsi-
fed your record, or misrepresented
YOU, deliberately or otherwise?
"The history of senate joint resolu-
ton No. 3 must be known to you, for
as speaker you were in close touch
with the incidents which attended the
obstruction in the assembly to its
point in the history of the measure l
would be very glad to have you put
your finger on the place.

MURDER THREATS
CHARGED To HIM
John R. Stutzki Is Arrested on
Complaint of William R.
SommerS

John R. Stutzki, salesman, living
at 449 East Forty third street, was ar
rested by Constable Roberts last night
and locked up in the county Jail on a
charge of making threats against the
life of William r. Sommers of 1146
East Twenty-fourth street. The
charge against StutzH is said to have
grown out of an alteration between
the accused and Sommers over the dis
appearance of Mrs. Sommers, who left
her home several days ago.
Mrs. Sommers, it appears, went to a
grocery store several days ago and
left her husband waiting on the out
side. She failed to reappear, and Som
mers found that she had left the place
by a rear entrance. Since that time
he has been searching for her and en-
listed the aid of the police department
in an effort to locate the missing
woman.
At the time of the disappearance of
Mrs. Sommers the husband told the
police that he believed that she had
eloped with a man whom, it is thought,
she was on quite friendly terms.
In his search for his wife Sommers,
it seems, traced the woman to the
apartments of Stutzki, or learned that
she was seen in his company, and took
the man to task for persuading her to
elope with him.
The two men, it appears, met yester-
day morning and again Sommers de-
manded that Stutzki reveal the hiding
place of the missing woman. Stutzki,
it seems, denied having any knowledge
of her whereabouts or that he had
been with her. This angered Sommers
and strong language was used, ter
minating, it is alleged, by Stutzki
threatening to kill Sommers if the lat
ter said anything more about the mat
ter.
The irate husband of the missing
wife hurried to Justice Baird's court,
told his story and then swore to
warrant charging Stutzki with threats
to kill and murder.
Constable Roberts found Stutzki at
the latter's home and placed him under
arrest. 1t is alleged that Stutzki was
in the company of a woman when ar
rested, but the description of the COM
panion does not tally with that of Mrs.
Sommers.
The accused was locked up without
bail and probably will be arraigned in
Justice Baird's court this morning.

WILL END TRADE
SIZE MARKINGS
Broadway Department Store
Sends Instructions to New
York Agents

Arthur Let's, head of the Broadway
Department store, ordered the follow
ing telegram sent yesterday to A.
Strassburg, the Broadway's New York
buyer:
Notify all manufacturers that in
future merchandise purchased for the
Broadway, wherein trade pleasures
and weights are used, must be stamped
actual size or weight. Shipments will
not be accepted unless this is complied
with. Notify Paris, Berlin, Florence
and Chemnitz foreign offices to instruct
manufacturers accordingly. See letter
of instructions"
For many years past, manufacturers
have been branding merchandise under
the so-called trade sizes and the re-
tailers and consumers have been ac-
cepting these markings without the
slightest suspicion that the goods were
not always as represented.
Recently New York commission
merchants discovered the fact that
these so-called trade signs did not
give the correct measure or weight or
merchandise sent out by the manufac-
turers and as q result of this discovery
stringent laws were passed in New
York prohibiting the sale of mer-
chandise bearing trade sizes unless re-
marked the actual size. This law also
applies to weights.
The very first notification of this re
form movement in New York city was
an inspiration to the Broadway De-
partment store of Los Angeles, which,
like every other retail establishment in
the country, had been accepting the
markings of the manufacturers.
A meeting of the heads of depart
ments in the Broadway store was
called Saturday, following which
committee was appointed and imme-
date action was taken to correct this
practice of long standing.
force of employees are busily at
work re-marking certain lines of mer-
chandise, while each clerk has been
sent the following letter:
