SOLDIERS PATRONS OF
SAUSALITO POOLROOM
Poker Games Helped to Make
the Place Notorious
SGD Dispotch % ~ CoIIl

SAN RAFAEL. March 1s.-Civil and
military authorities Joined forces to
investigate the Sausalito fake pool
room case today when it was discovered
by Sheriff Taylor and District Attorney
Boyd that the soldiers of Fort Baker
had played poker in James Blair's sa-
loon within few days of the time
when the place was raided.
The revelation promises to place
number Of valuable witnesses in the
hands of District Attorney Boyd and
materially aid in the prosecution of the
case. 1t also indicates that the gam
bling place was not devoted alone to
the fake poolroom nor quite so secret
as it is said TO have been by Sausalito
officials
If the soldiers at Fort Baker knew
of its existence and frequented the
place, ask the authorities, how is it
Sausalito citizens were ignorant of it's
presence?
Major John W Ruckman, comman-
dant at Fort Baker, expressed no sur
prise when informed today that his
men had been patronizing the gambling
house previous TO the raid Indirectly

LEAGUE EXPLAINS;
RESTORING PEACE
Outdoor Art Women Of San Jose
Assert Native Daughters
Misunderstood Them
[SpeeioL Dispatch 10 ~ CoIIl

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
SAN JOSE, March 19.-Following ac-
tion taken by the pioneers of this
county and the Native Sons, the society
leaders of the city constituting the
Outdoor Art league have adopted reso-
lutions expressing regret that they
have been misunderstood in regard to
their attitude toward the Native
Daughters and the proposal of the
latter to erect a log cabin in Alum
Rock park as a memorial to the pio-
neers of California.
The section of the resolutions bear
ing upon the situation is as follows:
Resolved that the Outdoor Art
league "a majority of whose MEM
bers are daughters of pioneers(
regrets having been misunderstood
in its attitude toward the placing
of a log cabin in Alum Rock park
dedicated to the Santa Clara county
pioneers.
This suggestion, made informally
to the park commission, was that,
as there is a possibility of some
expert being employed by the COM
mission in the near future to make
some plan for the canyon, it would
seem advisable not to erect any
structure or make changes until
some plan should be made.
The conciliatory attitude of the
league probably means an end of the
controversy which was threatened
when it became known that the organi-
zation opposed the pet project of the
Native Daughters. The latter were at
first inclined to say harsh things about
the interference of the league In the
matter. They are not willing to change
their plans, however, and have applied
for permission to build the log cabin in
the canyon resort. Some action is ex-
pected from the park commissioners at
their meeting on March 2S.
The pioneers and the Native Sons
favor the plans of the Native Daugh-
ters.

GIANT STRIDES IN
CORSET BUSINESS
kOpS Brothers, Makers of Memo
Type, Issue Booklet Show
ing Advance of Trade
American Concern Successfully
lnyades Europe With Wares
Formerly Imported

Fifteen Years in Business" is the
title of well printed, handsomely pub
lished little book, which might as truth
fully have been called The Revolution
of the Corset Business in America"
The book. which details and illustrates
the exceptional growth of an industry
which was started December /, 1894, is
issued by the firm of Kops Brothers of
New York, makers Of the Memo type Of
corsets.
The book tells how by the application
of industry, ingenuity and hygienic
principles the corset business in Amer
ica has developed during the last Is
years, so that while in 1894 the goods
were largely imported now the firm of
Kops Brothers fhave factories in Eng
land and Germany and from New York
come the styles and shapes which
dominate a large circle Of the business.
PROFUsELY ILLUSTRATED
The book is illustrated not only with
portraits OF the proprietors of the firm,
Daniel Max and Samuel Kops. and
Walter Kops, general factory repre-
sentative, but with portraits Of the
leading associates and representatives
of the business, with Illustrations of
the factory and Of the various depart
ments. Interesting pictures are those
Of the SO letters patent which the firm
holds on corset models and on corset
making machinery.
The breadth of policy of the firm is
shown by the Illustrations ofthe hospital
which is maintained in the New York
factory at Fourth avenue and Twelfth
street for the free use of the employees
of the big establishment. Another il
lustration shows the girl employees in
.Ts l-s%
the factory, where meals are served at
cost TO the employees. These convent
ences for the employees are maintained
by the firm at a heavy rental expense,
but il feels that ii is amply repaid by
increased efficiency and loyalty of the
workers.
The local saIesrooms of the Memo
corset at 154 Sutter street and a por-
trait of J. II. Rohr. manager OF the San
Francisco Office, and J. J. Cannon and
l. W Stoddard, representatives, are
included in the book
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS
An interesting feature of the book is
q review of the advertising campai gns
which the firm has carried on in fur
thering its trade. The fact is revealed
that the great Memo business has been
built up practically on newspaper ad-
Vertising and the further fact that
Kops Brothers were the first corset
manufacturers to use newspaper space
TO introduce their product to the gen.
eral public.
The firm realized at the beginning
that while its new and heaIthful shapes
were unknown it was only necessary
that the public be made acquainted with
the merits and hygienic qualities of
the wares to win custom. 1t was un-
derstood that the best way to reach
the public was directly through the
newspaper columns. The first small
newspaper advertisement appeared on
January Is, 1889. Now the firm adver-
tises regularly in nearly a hundred
American cities.
