Fight Of CENTURY!
STEAM VS.. LAGER
Embattled Brewers Wage War
Under the Standard of the
Long Glass

OAKLAND, July 1.-THE encoura ge-
ment of steam beer drinking, as op-
posed to lager beer, is one of the
avowed objects of the formation of the
brewery trust known as the Golden
West brewing association, a consolida-
! tion of five breweries that was an
nounced exclusively in The Call two
months ago. Steam, not lager, is the
proper drink, say the members of the
trust, besides, the consumer gets a
longer glass.
The Washington and Anchor brew
cries OF Oakland, the Palace of Ala
media, Raspiller's of Berkeley and the
Lion of Hayward formed the combine,
of which George j. White is the presi-
dent. The Golden West brewing COM
pany has acquired property at Seventh
and Kirkham streets. 1t is a combine
of steam beer breweries exclusively
and takes in every one in the county
with one exception.
The brewers of steam beer found
that their product was going out of
popularity among saloon keepers. They
were producing too much for the trade
and, in spite of low prices, found they
could not sell all they brewed. Hence
the combina ton.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the fault was with the bar tenders.
They do not like to draw steam. IT
takes longer and is more trouble
Hence. many saloon keepers have
thrown it out.
The trust will educate the bar tend
ers to draw it properly, so that steam
will once more have it's place in thirst
emporiums. A clas in. steam beer draw
ing is planned for every brewery in the
combine.

DENTIST Elects A
PATIENT HUSBAND
foothless Woman's Spouse
Causes Arrest of Prac=
titiOner

OAKLAND, July 14-Dr. A c. Faulk-
ner. dentist, was arrested in his Of
fee this morning by Bailiff James F..
Flynn while filing a woman's tooth
and gave bail of $40 on charge of
battery preferred by j. A. Hitler, a
decorator of 694 East Twenty seventh
street
The battery Hitler alleged. was
committed last Saturday. when the dem
tist threw a the decorator set of
false teeth which had been made for
Mrs. Hitler and followed up the attack
by kicking Hitler out of the office
toward the elevator Hitler took the
hint and left the building. He nursed
his wrath for a few days and this
morning lodged a battery charge
against the dentist.
Mrs. Hitler went to Doctor Faulkner
several weeks ago to have her mouth
doctored. The dentist extracted. all
her teeth and made a set of false in
cisors. But Hitler complained that he
used rubber for the plate instead of
the whalebone ordered and Mrs. Hill
lfer refused to accept the handiwork.
Doctor Faulkner, by agreement, cor
rected the error, and then. Hitler said,
refused to give up the teeth without
payment of the original charge and 81
additional Mrs. Hitler refused to pay
the demand, and since then has been
toothless.
Hillier's anger was aroused by his
wife's plight, and Saturday he invaded
Doctor Faulkner's office to- demand the
teeth. Instead he made the dentist an
CRY and the double set was thrown at
him. Then followed the election, upon
which Hitler based the battery charge.
