T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1895. 4 e TEE GANUIBARGIED GRTT MEDIBRRA ) EER e e - ~ COMPETITION IN CIGARS, The California Product Versus the Imported Eastern JArticle. DEALERS AIR THEIR VIEWS, Home-Made Cigars Would Be Pre- ferred if a Demand Were Created for Them. The Cigar-makers’ Union of San Fran- cisco is endeavoring to obtain reliable in- formation as to the comparative standing and merits of Eastern and home produced | ci; s. To that end two members of the | stion committee—Messrs. Burns and | Kelly—made a tour of investigation among | the bers, manufacturers and retailers of | this City on Monday. | The first cigar-store visited was that of | W. H. Harrison, on Powell street, near | Market. He stated that he had no objec- | tion to selling home-produced cigars, pro- vided they were of such quality as to cre- ate a demand. M. C. Haley, ex-County Clerk, who has | a store on Market street, near Powell, | said that if the mate: counld be obtained | he was alw \ favor of selling the Cali- factured article Mr. Haley said, * ) { and good workmanship s will increase.” get the n the demand for home goo ‘W.

In further conversation this jobber stated | that all cigars handled by him were strictly | union made. He had not had a demand | for a California made cigar in a long time. He ascribed this to the original feeling of prejudice against Chinese labor. Califor- nia might in time be made one of the great cigar centers of the United States, pro- vided the proper material and skilled labor were used. | James Crouch, Montgomery street, | makes and handles b own cigars. He was pleased to notice an increasing de- mand for California manufactured He experiences no trouble whatever posing of his good Friedlander & Kaesar, another manufac- turing firm, find 4 good demand arising for the home art “Of course,” said Mr. Friedlander, *‘the advertised article | always has the advantage. to be a big factory erected with 100 or 200 | hands. Advertise it well, and I believe a | really large b could be done.” | Charles Harr Montgomery street, | i e his views on home-made | n reads “Support home in- ” and he handles cigars made by system which e present condit: manufacturer to train u M. ood cigars can ?” was asked. said Mr. Blas- | | | | | | Said Mr. Harris, “A good demand ap- pears to have sprung up for California- made cigars lately, particularly in the last | three weeks. What I want to say is that | the same inducements are not bifered to the San Francisco man as to the New Yorker, That talk about climatic conditions is all bosh. There are, however, certain gradeés of fine Havana tobacco which never reach San Francisco, as there is no demand. Big European consumers get their fine-grade | cigars direct from Havana. Skilled e is as easy to get here as anywhere. | The factory of E. Schwerin & Sons at Market street was next visited. In reply | to the usual queries, Mr. Schwerin eaid: | “I do not think advertising would do San | Francisco firms much good. They all | seem to want Eastern cigars here, and | imagine that a home-made cigar cannot be good, just from the fact that it is home- made.” “What do you think is in the way of San Francisco becoming a great cigar | center?” was asked. “I see nothing in the way exceot the prejudices of consumers” answered Mr. Schwerin. The Pacific Coast Co-operative Cigar Manufacturing Company, represented by its secretary, Henry Knobel, was enthus- iastic regarding the merits of cigars made in 8an Francisco. Mr. Knobel said that many of the retailers in this City are not com{etent judges of the relative merits of the Eastern and California product. He corroborated the “statement made that dealers here are expected toturn out a better cigar for less money than the East- ern producer T. Frahm of Frahm & Frankenburg, 418 Battery street, thought much as the other large manufacturers did. He said: *‘Just as clever ¢igar-makers can be found here as anywhere. We often open up an East- ern cigar and find it fiiled with the com- monest rubbish.” Julius Umhalt of the "San Francisco Cigar Company said: ‘“Easterners get a better price for their cigars, and we have to spend money to hold up our trade. It ise matter of prejudice. We can buy as fine tobacco in San Francisco as anywhere else, if there is only a demand for it.” Investigations were continued yesterday, the rounds being made among salcon men and a few of the manufacturers. A partner in the tirm of Plagemann & Co., Sansome street, said that he did not care to be interviewed on the matter av all, as it might injure his business. He thonght that as good cigars could not be made here as in the East. "Eastern goods are handled by his firm. Schlaberg Bros., manufacturers, of 629 ‘Washington street found that preference is given to Eastern goods, even if prices are the same. P. Leonhardt, cigar manufacturer, Polk street, near California, said that he made his own cigars and sold them exclusively, and there appears to be a demand for them. He finds no call for cigars made in the East. Z . Marshall & Nye, who own a saloon at 1212 Polk street, said that there was really no difference_in the qualities of home- made cigars and those made elsewhere. Prices are the same in either case. Fred Horner, manufacturer, 431 Bush street; foind that the consumer and re- tailer both demand a better domestic cigar for less money than the Eastern made. A. Fischer of the Oberon saloon, O"Farrell street, expressed himself as in favor of the home product. He does a | Crowley | had been canvassing Stockton for a direc- COLON good business in California cigars, and only keeps such Eastern cigars as his cus- tomers particularly want. Mr. Fischer in- dorsed the home industry movement, and said that if all saloon men sold only the ar- ticle made here, at least 5000 more cigar- makers could be put to work. John Baader, another saloon man on Fourth street, takes every opportunity to push home-made goods, particularly in the cheaper grades. He handles very few New York cigars. “The remedy for the pxistinfi state of things lies with the con- sumer,” said Mr. Baader, ‘‘who can, if he wants it, obtain a good home-made cigar for the same price as the imported New York article.” A. Gordon, salesman with Schoenfeld & Co., said: ‘It is an established fact that farmers in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin get the best prices for their leaf from California merchants, who also im- hort the finest tobacco grown in Cuba. Most of the New York cigars are composed of what is known as Zimmer and Little Dutch fillers. They are made in tenement- houses of the worst kind, which reek with filth. The domestic cigar, however, is always worked up in a clean factory. Fred Gibson of Messrs. Gibson & Cook. saloon, Market street, was enthusiastic over the merits of the home article. He believes firmly in patronizing home indus- try, and backs up his opinions by carrying a stock of 30,000 home union manufactured cigars. [he last firm visited—Messrs. Gebhardt & Graner, Market street—said that they only handied one brand of Eastern cigars, for which there is some demand. The bal- ance of the stock carried is home-made. Messrs. Burns & Kelly propose to con- tinue their inquiries further. The State Blue Label League, which they represent, will carry the agitation into the interior of the State. The committee is employed by Union 228, Assoon as the constitution of the Blue Label League is adopted opera- tions will be commenced throughout the State. FOR FORGING CHECKS. D. A. Urquhart, a Directory Canvasser, Arrested in Stockton. D. A. Urquhart was arrested in Stockton veste norning at the request of Chief Urquhart, with two other men, tory. He is charged with forging the name of Frank Frisbee of Frisbee & Ris- don, accountants, 132 Market street, to nine checks on the Bank of California for sums varying from $15 to $50 and aggre- gating over $200. These checks he gave to storekeepers in Stockton. They were sent to the Bank of California for collection and paid. 5 When Frisbee discovered the forgerieshe wrote to R. 0. Kinsey, a friend in Stockton, | and ascertained that Urquhart, who had indorsed the checks, was a guest at the Grand Central Hotel. He swore out a warrant yesterday morning for Orquhart’s arrest on the charge of forgery and Detec- {i\e Seymour left last night to bring him here.s EL BUSH ELECTD The First Regiment Held Its Regular Election Last Night. Spirited Contest Between Friends of Colonels Bush and Sullivan. The election of colonel of the First Regi- ment of Infantry, N. G. C., last night re- | sulted in the election of Colonel Bush by a vote of fourteen against eleven, which were cast for Colonel Sullivan, who had been it command. Colonel Bush has been a member of the First Regiment for twenty.six years. He was elected lieuten- PETER BURNEIT IS DYING. He Was the First Governor of the State of Cali- fornia. CAME WITH THE PIONEERS. Father of Mrs. William T. Wallace. Record of One Who Made History. Peter II. Burnett, the first Governor of the State of California, is dying at his resi- dence, 1713 Larkin street. No hope is en- tertained for his recovery, as he has long since passed the three score year and ten mark, and though a man of wonderful con- stitution, his death is momentarily ex- pected. Dr. Neumann, the family physician, can hold out no hope, as the advanced age of the'patient, 87 years, can hardly sustain the result of the sickness. Ex-Governor Burnett was born 1n Nash- ville, Tenn., November 15, 1807. youth Mr. Burnett wasa trader and lawyer in Tennessee. reached Oregon in 1843 and became identi- fied with the interests of the Pacific Coast. When the Territorial government was organized in Oregon, he took a prominent part and became a member of the Legisla- In his | By the overland route he | Court has held that we are supposed to have inll knowledge of Jthe condition of the treas- ury, There i another feature in connection with this case. If we obey jthe mandate of the Supervisors and turn off the gas for the next six weeks we may be sued by some citizen for not living up to our eontract,and if it should be decided that the action of the Supervisors in making this order is illegal we mlgfi have to stand the damages. In cases where for a tew nights the lights were shut off to save money, as it was recently, it did not make much difference, because there was & full moon then. But to leave the City in darkness for nearly two months with $40,000 or £50,000 in the street licht fund is & more serious question, especially where damage suits might arise and the legality of the Super- visors’ action be Qnes!ioneg. va'e will hold a meeting of the directors to-morrow and decide upon some course. The Edison Electric Light and Power Company is equally interested in the same matter, as their contract to furnish the City with hiht is as ironclad as that which binds the gas company. Their con- tract will not expire for over a year and the obligations are as specific as to the number of hours and days that light must be furnished. The executive committee of the board of directors has discussed the situation informally and they have agreed to do all in their power to make the City live up to the contract. Assistant Secre- tary Angus said: 1f the Supe ors will not change their decision in this matter we will have to do as they direct, because their will is supreme I presume, and as to our being liable on bonds for not furnishing light I am not prepared to speak. If we are sued for damages we will 100k o the Supervisors to stand between us and harm for obeying their orders. Exactly what course this company will take will be deter- mined on Thursday. Speaking of the resolution passed by the Supervisors at the last meeting directing the gas and electric light comvanies to dis- continue lighting the City street lights, | John A. Russeil, clerk to the board, said | yesterday: *Iam afraid that plan won’t | work. The City has a contract requiring | these companies to light the streets EX-GOVERNOR PETER H. BURNETT.

(From a photograph.) ant of Company A in 1871 and in 1872 was promoted to captain of that company, hich commission he retained until 1891, en he was elected lieutenant-colonel, which position he held until last night, George R, Burdick being promoted to that office, which was vacated by Colonel Bush’s election to the higher position. _Colonel Bush was a member of the United States Sanitary Commission dur- ing the war and in 188 was appointed an honorary member of the Eighth New York Regiment. He is at present chief book- keeper of the United States Mint in_this City, a position wnich he has filled for eleven years. It was stated last night by one of the Colonel W, P. Sullivan Jr. (From a photograph.} members of Company A that the reason Colonel Sullivan was not re-elected was based on his attitude in Sacramento at the time of the strike. There was much dissatisfaction ex- pressed among the members of Company A concerning Colonel Bush’s election and it was said by a number of the company that they would refuse to drill undergxim. —_—— What Do You Know of Poor Bitumen ? The Merchants’ Association desires to secure information regarding the present condition of all the streets in this city which are paved with bituminous rock, and for that reason would like to hear from all citizens who know of any streets paved with such material which are in poor repair. Thisinformation is wanted before the 1st of June.

Before the great days of 49, Governor Burnett was attracted fo ifornia_ by the gold excitement, and took active interest in the formation of the State government. He opposed the military jurisdiction of the Natiohal Government over the Bear State, and by his action became a pro figure 1n politics. He was elected Governor of the State be- fore it was admitted to the Union, and was recognized by Congress when admission was granted in 1850. In 1851 he resigned as ernor to take up the practice of law, and in 1857 became one of the Judges of the Supreme Court. In 1863 he became president of the Pa- cific Bank and held the position until 1830. In 1860 he pubiished a'work entitled **The Path Which Led a Protestant Lawyer to the Catholic Church.”’ Several other works emanated from his pen, among which was “The Recollections of an Old Pioneer,” a work which contained many valuable his- toric statistics of the early days of Cali- fornia. Mrs. Judge Wallace is a daughter of the ex-Govergor, as is Mrs. B. T. Ryland of San Jose.§The family are around the bed- side of thé old pioneer, awaiting the end, which is thought to be close at hand. WILL RESST THE ORDER, Gas and Electric Light Com-~ panies Protest Against Darkness. Legality of the Supervisors’ Action, Ordering Out Lights, Is Questloned. The corporations that are furnishing the City with light do not propose to sit idly by and submit to shutting off their gas and electricity without a murmur. They seriously question the right of the Board of Supervisors to compe 1 them to break the existing contracts. The order of the board to shut off all street lights from the present time to the end of the fiscal year provoked considerable discussion among the officers of the San Francisco Gas Company and the Edison Electric Light and Power Company. The sentiment was to resist the order and definite action will be taken when the officers hold their meeting this week. J. B. Orockett, president of the gas com- pany, said: There will be & meeting of the board of di- rectors of this company to-morrow and then we will determine what we will do. This mat- ter has a broader scope than simply obeying this order of the Supervisors to shut off the street lights for the next six weeks. We are furnishing gas to the City fc *illuminating pur- poses under a contract which will not expire until the fall of 1896. This contract provides that we must furnish light between certain specified hours of the day. More than that, we are under ,000 bonds to do so,and Adam Grant and Levi Strauss are the sureties. Now, the question is, Can the Supervisors oompe\ us to break our contract while there is money in the street u&n fund in the !flllng'l And, further, Can they legally divert the money in the street ufht fund to anY other !mrpole. At the end o fiscal year, if there s any money left in this fund it can be turned into the general fund. There is some doubt in our minds if this can be done before the end of the fiscal year at the cost of leaving the City msduknes:} m; a 3onth &r :w'ol; juppose, for instance, that » gas company uhongg find a use for its gas moge proflhls: 0 it to the City and we should our contl by declining to furnish gas under the contract.- Damage suits would be instituted within twenty-four hours and our seécurities wo\}ld have to stand the damages, Now, the City's obligation to us under our con- tract is as great as ours to the City,and while there is money in the street light fund we can- not see how the Supervisors can legally break the written and secured sgreement. If there 'Was no money in this special fund and we con- | tinued to light the streets we would be taking e ‘our ehn:ey on being paid, for the Suprem 'us than furnishin; through the year. It is not likely the companies will submit to being dismissed in this summary manner. The contract requires that they keep the lamps clean and in repair. This requires them to keep a small regiment of men employed. Can they send them off at a day’s notice? I don’t know, but I don’t think it will do.” DI NOT CLOSE AT NOON. A Fifth - Avenue Barber Trouble for Keeping His Shop Open. So a Warrant Was Sworn Out for His Arrest for' Violating the Law. in The first case for a violation of the act passed by the last Legislature for regu- lating the hours during which barbers’ shops shall be open will be heard in a day or two before Judge Low. H. A. Wolfe, barber, 1226 Dupont street, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of “John Doe,” a barber at 701 Fifth avenue, for keeping his shop open for business after 12 o’clock noon last Sunday. The Barbers' Protective Union is deter- mined that the law shall be obeyed. The union was particularly active in having the act passed,as the members believed the time had come when they should haye a day’s rest aswell as other people, the more so as they are as a rule kept hard at work till late Saturday night. When the act was introduced into the Assembly it was referred to the Committee on Public Morals, of which Assemblyman Bettman of this city was chairman. It was passed by the Assembly and the San Francisco delegation worked -hard to get it passed through the Senate. 'In fact it was due to their efforts, assisted by the Cary, that the bill was passed through both chambers. The passage of the bill was received with great enthusiasm by the barbers of this City, and as a mark of their appreciation the San Francisco delegation was tendered a banguet on returning to the City at which the proprietor of the CALL wasan honored guest. All the leadi:§ barbers in the Oity have imfuhmt.ly obeyed the law by closing at 12 o’clock noon “on Sundays, and they will insist that it is universallyy respected. DEFIED THE LAW. A Barber Arrested for Refusing to Close on Sunday. President Klitsch presided at the meet- ing of the Barbers’ Union last night. Mr. Aubertine presented a report about the result of the ball recently given, and, it appearing satisfactory, it gn accepted. The union came out ahead, but did not have a bonanza. The picnic committee reported that it had been decided to hold the picnic on the 14th of July. D. Martin, recording secre- ta’rly, was removed for neglect of duty. he union decided in future to hold its sessions with doors open only to members, for the purpose of keeping out those who have been attending meetings and whose names are not on the membership roll. The investigating committee reported the arrest of the proprietor of a shop near the racetrack who refused to close his shop last Sunday. This will be made a test case. On motion of Mr. Wolfe the members of the union resolved themselves into a com- mittee of the whole to report at the next meeting all shops that remain open after 8 o’clock at night. ——————— New French Hospital. The meeting of the French Mutual Benevo- lent Society called for next Sunday to elect three physicians for the new French Hospital on Point Lobos and Fifth avenues has been postponed till Sunday, May 26. Thereason for the %graetponement is’ that the annual picnie of the nch Order of Druids will take place next Sunday, and most of the members are to attend the picnic. The leointmept of spe- cialists, which was at the last meeting of the society left in the hands of the city board of directors, will also not be made till Sunday, May 26, so that both the physicians and special- ists will be selected on the same day. FOR NEW ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Bonds Filed Yesterday for Laying an Underground Conduit. The Mutual Electric Light Company filed a bond, or four of them, yesterday for $5000 each,with the names of Alvinza Hay- ward and Andrew W. Rose as sureties, as preliminary to thejtearing up of four miles of the City streets and laying down electric light wires. The law requires the givin of a bond in such cases for every mile of streets to be disturbed, securing the City in the replacing of the streetin the condi- tion i ich it was found. A KNIFE in the hand of a Sur- geon gives you a feelin of horror and dread. There is no longer ne- i cessity for its_use in many diseases formerly Tegarded as_incurable without cutting. The Triumph of Conservative Surgery 1s well illustrated by the fact that RUPTURE or Breach, is now radically cured without the knife and without pain. Clumsy, chafing trusses can be thrown away ! They never cure but often in- duce inflammation, strangulation and death. TUFAOR Ovarian, Fibroid (Uterine) and y many others, are now removed without the rils of cutting operations. PILE TUMORS, fvcecy s 1 9 tula and other dis- eases of the lower bowel, are permanently cured without pain or resort to the knife.
