» THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1895. WHEELMIEN AR AROUSED, They Will Make ‘a’ Concerted Effort to Secure Good Streets. 5 BETTER PAVEMENTS WANTED. The Fight May Include the Team- sters Also, and It Will Be a Political One. The wheelmen have determined that this must have decent pavements, and week their campaign .of action t and ‘their plans matured. e - deaters Los - Angeles n Jose third, and only when the s mentioned does San Francisco, opolis, appear. is due in a great measure to the poor condition of the €ity’s streets, and the impossibility of using.the wheel for business purposes, except to a very limited extent. To remove this “difficulty it is plain that some improvement must be. made in-the street pavements, and to do this the wheelmen have started. an agita- tion on their own account. The. first. step was taken by the Olympic Wheel- men last evening when - the - subject was formally = announced -at. their meeting, and a committee was appointed to tender the assistance and support of the annex to secure a bituminous pavement on Folsom street from .the ferries out to Nineteenth street. Close estimates based on statistics gath- ered from the dealers, the cycling ‘clubs, t he records of the League of American Wheelmen and the various cyclers place the num ber of riders of the-wheel in-this City at 15,000. This includes owners of wheelsand also those who, not having. the time, or not wishing to be shaken upon the city streets, ride or n the park,dépending upon rented t their cy i This lat- S a more numer one'than is generally supposed, however, as a glance at the park or at Van Ness averiue on Sun- or on moonlight nights-will atonce Ina burst of confidence .a keeper of one of the cycleries admitted the other evening that ing the fine moonlight ; which were the rule last week. his This was from the transient riders, who cannot afford to buy wheels for the limited streets allow. riders is, however, as a strong factor in the wheel® , and. as with good streets quite ge of their number: would be- rs of wheels, the dedlers have nto the controver: nd will Iend hatever mov 1t the wheel- . aid will be financial as as moral, and will be freely extended.

The wheelmen’s hown once in the last .elec- i the Peace Kerrigan, who velist, was made their ate, principally that the strength of wheelmen might be shown.and asa 1t he headed the ticket. There was some attempt to get the cyclists to indotse of the candidates for. Superintendent Streets also, but it was not deemed ad- th The In the next election, however, it will. be different, and until then the wheelmen will only lay plans and arrance their campaign, i in the entally doing what they o strengthen their posi feasible plan so far h will at opce inc f the cyclists by the infi numbers of the teamsters and To do this the agitation for two classes of pavement. Down- town they will try for basalt blocks, which teamsters want, and in the outskirts he residence portions of the city they itate for bitumen. e basalt blocks which will be asked for not be such as are now laid by the City Instead of irreguiar blocks n, the stones d will have to in_shape, of uniform size and placed. Instead of d as a foun- dation, the pavement which the ‘‘good street”” agitators will ask for will be laid in cement of at ness. The the spaces between them filled for half the lepth of the block with cement, the re- rder of the depth to-be filled with t twelve inches in thick- ch a pavement as this would offer an excellent surface for the bicycle, as if the blocks are properly cted they will form a perfectly smooth roadway, and the spaces between being filled with loose gravel the f-uvement will afford a sure foothold for eavy teams. This, teamstérs and hack men say, is not the case with bitumin rock. In therain, and particularly during a heavy fog, bituminous pavement will often get so slippery that fast traveling or heavy pulling is impossibie, as horses’ feet will not hold upon it. But there is practically no heavy travel in the residence districts, and so there the wheelmen want at least the level streets to be paved with bituminous rock. In this way all classes whose business takes them spon the pavement instead of the side- walks will have a pavement to suit their ueeds and their tastes. RS ““It is foolish to suppose thata bitumin- ous-rock pavement is the onlg suitable ome for a bicycle,” said George P. Wetmore, a veteran member of the Bay Citys, yester- day. ‘This thing has been talked of for a long time, and we are going to make this fight so that the teamsters will gét in with us. "A basalt block pavement, Jaid as it should be and of the proper blocks, will give as good a surface for bicycles as any other. e have looked at ali sorts of pavements, and the League of American Wheelmen has taken up the subject, and from the correspond- ence of that organization we have learned of almost every decent pavement that is at once strong and dumgle, giving a gaod footing for a horse and a smooth surface for a wheel. This basalt biock pavement is the best that has been found for all pur- oses, and we believe the teamsters will elp us secure it. i “Yt is not the best for wheelmen, but it is good enough, and thus we can work for smooth, unbroken pavements in the resi- dence districts, where little heavy teaming is done.” As to securing these pavements, the wheelmen as a rule are willing to help by having & tax placed upon their wheels, provided also that a proportionate tax is placed on all wagons an buggies owned in the city. The amount of this tax is of course a matter of speculation so far,and no one is willing to say just how much he will stand, but_anything in reason will be readily met by the wheel- men, provided it is made on all vehicles, and provided that the entire amount of such a tax is used to secure good pave- ments and suitable streets. ere is no claim by the wheelmen for any special kind of pavement: they only want a smooth pavement, and in this'the team- sters join with them. If an orzanization wheelmen’s town, Oakland | ve gathered, will | ught up for consideération, and ar- | of | | locks will be loosely laid. and | 1s perfected they will be a power in the next election, Last evening, at the meeting of the iympic Cycling Annex, L. 0. Owens, chairman of the annex, announced thata concerted effort was to be made by the wheelmen of the City to secure good streets, and he asked the annex to instruct its delegates to the meeting of the Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs as to what_course they should take when the question was brought up. He suggested some prepara- tion among the members of the annex of an agitation on the subject, and asked for the views of the members as to what course the annex should pursue in the matter. The subject, except in a very uncertain form, wasa new one to the annex, and so there was not much of a discussion, the members preferring to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the delegates, al- lowing them to act as circumstances dic- tated. Supervisor Hirsh, who has been a member of the Olympic Club since 1869, and is a charter member of the annex, in speaking to the question outlined the course which the Board of Supervisors would take in the matter of laying decent pavements on the-principal streets. He said that Folsom street would un- doubtedly be paved with bituminous rock, in conformity with the request of the Fol- som-street Improvement Club. He said, t00, that if available funds made it possi- ble Market street would receive a top dressing of bitumin rock from the fer- riés out at least to Ninth street, whereat the wheelmen, who are tired of the Mar- ket-street cable slot, applauded vocifer- ously. 1t 'was decided to send representatives to the next meeting of the Folsom-street Improvement Ciub to offer the assistance and co-operation of the Olympic Wheel- men’s .annex in the effort to secure a smooth pavement on Folsom street. The committee is composed of Captain A. C. Thornton, George Day and Lewis Hunter. The delegates to the associated clubs are L. D. Owen, H. H. White and Stanley G. Scovern. At the close of the meeting the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the Olympic Club wheelmen d0 heartily indorse the proposed action on the part of the Merchants' Association for the im- provement of the present poot ndition of the Ccity’s streets’ end to secure goou roads gener- E effort to aid sociation in its good work. ILL AEADY O BACIG Sport for Kings to Be Wit- nessed at Gravesend To-Day. In the Brooklyn Handicap Rey el Santa Anlta’s Stock Is Booming. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 14.—To-mor- row Gravesend will witness sport for kings, The Expectation stakes, with its promises, and the Brooklyn handicap, with its pos- sibilities, will be run, and the card has on it many other good things. But while the interest has been as strong it has not been as loudly proclaimed as in previous years. With the first fall of the flag to-morrow a new system of racing will be inaugurated. { In it there is a promise of that honesty and fairness which alone will bring with a whipping finish a resignation to the fact that the best horse has won. Out of the original thirty candidates for the Brook- lyn handicap but twelve remain, and the | chances are at least two of these will not g0 to the post. Only a few of the horses were declared | out in February, among them being Old Banquet and Don Alonzo, well up in the weights, who were sent across the ocean. Dr. Rice and Ramapo are almost up in the estimation of those who are looking for odds. To day’s storm has sent Rey el Santa Anita's stock booming, for the Western crack is good in the mud. Sir Walter, whose gameness is unquestioned, has a host of supporters, while the others are more or less fancies by those who have *‘inside information.”” The entries for the Brooklyn handicap are as follows: Horse. Remapo Sir Walter Dr. R e Rey el Santa Anita. Rubicon Assignee .. . 95 Counter Tenor. 100 Counter Tenor and Declare are consid- ered as the two extreme doubtful entries, and chances are’always strong against a three-year-old, Declare having showed but poor speed in the trials. The last handicap work was done yes- terday. On Saturday Ramapo covered the full distance at Sheepshead in 2:09%4. This is looked upon as a grand performance. The fastest trial made by any of the candidates was 2:063{, made at Louisville by “Lucky” Baldwin's representative, Rey el Santa Anita, a short time ago. But the Westerner has not done anything of that kind here yet, though it is said he is in the best possible condition. As far as the talent know, Dr. Rice'’s best effort at the handicap distance was made yesterday, when he was sent in 2:11%. Bassetlaw’s form this year has not been such as would frighten off the rest of the contenders. Sir Walter has covered the mile and a quarter at Jerome in 2:10}4. Then come a bunch of lightweights, who have simply showed that they have a right to contend in the handicap. To-night the odds stood about as follows: Ramapo 7 to 5, Dr. Rice 8 to 5, Rey el Santa Anita 3 to 1, Sir Walter4 to 1, Rubicon 6 to 1, Hornpipe 15 to 1, and the others rang- ing from 10 to 20 to 1. LOUISVILLE, Kv., May 14.—The racing at Churchill Downs this afternoon was very ordinary. There wasno stake on the card, and all the events were at short distances. The time made by Rey del Carredas in the second event is the best that has been made here for the distance this meeting. Five furlongs, Galon a'Or won, Horace Argo second, Royal Spirit third.

BALTIMORE, Mp., May 14.—On the track of the Gentlemen’s Driving Park to- day was begun the opening meeting of the New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore circuit. A more than fresh wind swept over the field and heavy overcoats and wraps were in evidence. The attendance was good, and the first two races were won in straights.

EVERY FAVORITE BEATEN. Tod Sloan Put Up a Ride on Nephew That Did Not Please the Critics. Eleven pencilers cut in yesterday. Five straight favorites were tripped up. Piggott was in front on two winners, Fleet- wood and Clacquer. One prominent trainer announced in the paddack at the conclusion of one of the races yesterday that he had all he wanted of the Ppresent meeting and would remove his horses next week. There was much adverse criticism of Sloan’s ride on Nephew, the favorite for the fourth race. He may have waited too long before making his run, but he evidently tried his best to win at the wire. Records were in no imminent danger of being smashed by the class of horses that started in the different events at the track yesterday, the majority of them being the cheaper class of selling platers. This fact coupled with the chilly condition of the at- mosphere had a most depressing effect on the betting portion of the crowd, for but little coin changed hands in the ring. The talent were sidetracked in the open- ing event and remained there throughout the day. It was a maiden race, short six furlongs. Halifax, Tamalpais and Dolly M were the favorites in the betting, but Fleetwood, a 6 to 1 shot took the lead soon after the flag fell and won handily from Dolly M. Edna M was a good third. In the next race, a five and a half fur- long run, the talent received another hard knock. C M C was the “pipe” in the race, and the bookmakers thought so well of him they laid 11 to5 against him at post time. He gotaway lastand was never heard of. Nelson, the one-eyed horse, got away firstand wonina big gallop with 4| to 1 against him. My Sweetheart finished an ordinary second and Tobey third. No one denied that Bernardo was the class of the third race, but he has been performing rather poorly of late, so that | twelves could be had against him at post | time. The race was a short six-furlong spin for light welter-weighits, and the two- year-olds Eventide, who went to the post favorite, and Donna Carlotta carried the | bulk of the public’s money. The black mare Kathleen led all the way until well into the stretch, followed by | Donna Carlotta. An eighth from home | Eventide showed in front and led until | within a few yards of the wire, when Paget | brought Bernardo n%nn the outside from | the far rear and won by a short half length. | Gypsette zelding also nipped Eventide out for the place by a head. Although a pronounced cripple, Nephew was the class of the fourth race, a six- furlong sprint, and was made a decided favorite, going to the post 7 to5. Many considered the price against that good sprinter Clacquer a trifle long, and toward post time considerable money went into the books on him. He got away first and was never headed, winning by a head from the favorite, who, after getting away sec- ond, fell back to last place and made a cannon-ball run through the stretch. Inkerman, third away from the post, finished in that position close up. The favorite’s chances were spoiled by the poor start in the last race, a five and a half furlong dash. Red Glenn was a de- cided favorite, zoing to_the post 11 to 10. Hueneme, Alaric and Nellie G were the only ones considered outside of the first choice. Merrell dropped his flag to a very strag- gling start, Annie Moore, Hueneme and Nellie G getting much the best of it. After passing the half Hueneme took the lead and looked a winner, but tiring badly the last sixteenth was passed by Nellie G and Carmel. The former, splendidly ridden by Shaw, won by a length. Carmel, forgef- | ting to sulk, was second by a neck. The | f%\;ogite closed up a big gap, finishing third. SUMMARY. SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 1895. 9()(), FIRSTRACE—About six furlongs; maid- Sheo.

C., will leave this City and go to Bryant, Con- tra Costa County, to_camp for the night, and the following day engage in target practice, returning Sunday night. These companies are making arrangements to re- organize the bicycle corps which, last year, was an attractive feature of the organiza- tions. A joint committee has been ap- pointed to induce the individual cyclists of these companies to re-establish the ‘Na- tionals’’ and wear the attractive yellow badge of the former organization. e————— PROTECTORS ARE NEEDED, The Poachers Have Unre- stricted Sway in San Mateo County. Chinese Who Are Depleting the Bay of Its Small Fish. The sportsmen of Redwood City will soon organize and form a protective asso- ciation, if for no other purpose than to stop the indiscriminate slaughter of game and fish out of season. It will be re- membered that at a recent meeting of the Supervisors of San Mateo County a request from the sportsmen of the sur- rounding country was read, asking them to appoint a game warden. The Super- visors, after thinking the matter over, re- fused to grant the wish of the sportsmen on the ground that the county was unable to stand any additional expense, so called. Now that thereisno one to look after and protect the game of the county poachers {;nve been slaughtering doves that are nesting in the hills, and also the wild ducks that are tolerably plentiful in the marshes adjacent to Redwood City. The noble deer are not passed unheeded | by the law-breakers, and not later than one week ago two were seen strapped on the back of a horse which was ridden City, who have left many dollars in the city of the redwood during the open sea- son, will go elsewhere for sport. The sportsmen who will pull trigger on | the Suisun marshes next year may look | forward to some good shooting, as late re- | ports from the “‘ducking grounds” speak | very well for the future. It issaid that | the wild rice which was planted in some | of the ponds of the “preserve” clubs a few | years ago is now doing well and will afford excellent picking for the birds of | assage next season. The carp, whicH | {:ad taken possession of the ponds last | vear, have been exterminated by the free | use of dynamite, and as a consequence the | celery and grasses which wild ducks are so | passionately fond of will be quite prolific when the season fog duck-shooting opens. Cinnamon teal are astonishingly plentiiul on the Suisun marshes this year and mal- lards are more numerous than ever. The indications for good sport for those who can | take the opportunity in the sweet by and by are, from all accounts, the very beat. The attention of the Fish Commission is called to the fact that Chinese fishermen in the vicinity of California City and Mec- Nears Point haye been making very large catches of shrimps and small sea fish during the past week, and the average daily shipment from Tiburon is over two tons. It is presumed that the Commis- sioners are aware that the taking of small fish is illegal, consequently the arrest of | some of those oriental poachers who have been for years depleting tnis bay of its | food fish is daily expected. The law on | this subject is certainly plain enough for any ordinary Deputy Fish Commissioner to understand. It says: | Every person who shall cast, extend, set, use or continne, or who shall assist in casting, extending, usingor continuing, Chineseshrimp | or bag nets for the catching of fish in the | ‘waters of this State is guilty of a misdemeanor, | and every person who, by seine or other means, | shall catch the young fish of any species, and | who shall not return the same to the water im- mediately and alive or who shall sell or offer for saie any such fish, fresh or dried, is guilty of & misdemeanor. This law isa good one and should be easily understood bg the officers whose duty it is to protect the miniature fishes of this bay from extermination. Now is the time when the Chinese reap their harvest and now is the time for the ¥ish Commis- sioners to prove that they are alive to a duty which demands immediate attention, and Shaves Off His Mustache. the Witnesses Cannot Identify Him. Theodore Durrant, the young medical | student, who is accused of murdering | Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams, is a new man as far as appearances go. Dur- rant has changed his facial appearance so that his own mother will hardly know him when she calls to see him again. The very | dark brown mustache which partly cov- ered Durrant’s upper lip is no longer there, and the long, dark hair, which once made his head look so long, has all been cut off. Durrant’s last meeting with a tonsorial his features. His hair is now cropped so | short that he looks as if he had received a sentence of life imprisonment and had just left the prison barber at San Quentin. After %I from its former appearance that the men at the County Jail, who are accustomed to see him daily, could hardly realize that he was the same person. His face hasa much fuller appearance, and apparently the al- leged murderer has grown fat since his ar- rest.

The cause of Durrant’s action in chang- ing his facial nfpeaunce is not known to any one but himself and his attorneys. Wfien interviewed last evening Durrant said he had his hair cut and his mustache shaved off just for his own pleasure and comfort. It is possible that the radical change in his custom of wearing his hair may have been done for the purpose of weakening the identification by the wit- nesses for the ;Lroueclltlgn when he comes up for trial in the Sugenor Court. The change is certainly sufficient to con- fuse the witnesses considerably, but whether the defense can gain a point of any value is questionable. The witnesses sitively identified Durrant at the pre- iminary examination and this may be shown to be sufficient. Still it is odd that the authorities should allow Durrant to virtually disguise himself. ——————— All Going For $1 00 to Santa Cruz and return, Iro- gnols Club outing next Sunday morning. oat ieaves foot of Market street 8:45 A. sharp. * | given to the Grand Jury and that body acts | DURRANT'S LATEST MOIE He Has His Hair Cut Short # His Appearance Is So Changed That | [i artist has caused a remarkable change in | § is mustache was shaved off yes- | } terday Durrant’s face became so different | j§ AFTER THE SOLID EIGHT, The Grand Jury Intends to Look Into an Alleged Cinch Bill. BARCLAY HENLEY'S EVIDENCE. The Police Department Wiil Be Most Favorably Mentioned iIn the Report. The Grand Jury expected to have Bar- clay Henley appear before it at the regular session to-day, but the members will be again disappointed. Barclay Henley left for Santa Rosa yesterday evening, and he will not return until to-night. The grand jurors are anxious to ad- journ, but before doing so they desire to thoroughly investigate the charges of boodling which have been laid at the doors of the Solid Eight Supervisors. Barclay Henley, as the attorney for the Civic Federation, submitted some of these charges, and the grand jurors want to have him come before them and give the evidence he has to back up his charges. He has been subpenaed. Barclay Henley is not very communica- tive on the subject. Just before he left the ! City he said: *‘I have submitted charges against some of the Bupervisors,and I am ready to go before that body when the members want me to tell what I know. have been subpenaed, but I had to go to | Santa Rosa, so I missed last week’s meet- ings. Ihave to go to Santa Rosa and will not be able to attend to-morrow’s meeting | of the Grand Jury. Still, when I am wanted I will testify. I believe we have evidence which will be sufficient to cause the indictment and arrest of some of the Supervisors. I cannot tell what it is until I go before the Grand Jury.” George T. Gaden, one of the most prom- inent members of the Civic Federation, said: ‘*When our organization announced that it had evidence against some of the Bupervisors, Barclay Henley came forward and offered his services as & citizen and as an attorney. He conferred with our attor- neys and came to me to talk the matter over. He spent a large part of several days about two weeks ago in preparing the matter so as to put it in a proper shape to go before the Grand Jury. He studied up the legal side of the case and we all came to the conclusion that two or three of the Bupervisors should be indicted, ar- rested and thrown out of office on the evidence we had before us. “Henley informed us that the Church- street franchise of the Market-street rail- road system was illefically ranted and that it could be set aside. }fe went further than this. He said that seven out of every ten franchises granted by recent Beards of Supervisors were as illegal as the Church- street franchise. He said that they were nearly all improperly granted, and that th.\l' could even now be declared null and | void. “We have a great deal of important evi- | dence to put before the Grand Jury in re- | gard to the Church-street matter and other franchises, but it would be wrong for me to make public that evidence until it is | on it. “I thought Mr. Henley had gone before the Grand Jury. Icannotunderstand why he has not. I will see him when he re- turns to-morrow evening and try to have | him give to the grand jurors all the infor- | mation we have got. It was understood he would do so.” | As other charges than those made by the Civic Federation have been filed with the Grand Jury, that body will not be without material to work on at the meeting to-day. Supervisor Dimond may be called in re- gard to the Church-street franchise, and some members of the Milkmen’s Union may be called in regard to an alleged “cinch” bill recently introduced in the Board of Supervisors. This bill was in regard to laws governing the public pound, and it would greatly in- terfere with dairymen and others. Tt is alleged that the dairymen had to bribe some of the Supervisors in order to kee, the proposed ordinance from being passed. | This will be closely investigated. What time the jurors wfil have left to- day after looking into the Supervisors’ acts, will be spent in discussing the differ- ent sections of the report which they will now_begin to prepare. No further work outside of the Solid Eight's alleged crookedness will be taken up by the jury. | The report of the police committee has already been outlined. Chairman John McCarthy of the police committee and Charles W. Iredale and Joseph Britton, members of the committee, made a tour of the police prisons yesterdny morning. They visited the main prison at the new City Hall and all the branch stations. They inspected every nook and cranny in the different places. 3 They also visited the Receiving Hospital. They said that they found everything in first-class condition and their report on the Police Department will be a favor- able one. They have also agreed that the general work of the policemen and of the olice authorities is excellent, and that the E;ws are enforced as well as could be ex- K;cled. Foreman W. H. Gagan and Mr. cCarthy have personally inspected the City after dark, especially in the tender- loin district, and Foreman Gagan has ex- ressed himself as satisfied with the way 1n which the City is being governed as far as the Police Department is concerned. It is possible that the report may advocate the City owning the branch police stations and that the stations be arranged so as to have a proper place for the patrol wagons and the horses used by the department. DION'T KNOW THEY VOTED The Water Rates Are Not Yet Very Firmly Estab- lished. Supervisors Say They Did Not Know They Were Voting on the Final Passage. The action of the Board of Supervisors on Monday in sdopting the resolution fix- ing the water rates for the next fiscal year seems to have caught some of the members of the board asleep. Several of them claim now that they un- | derstood that the resolution was only being passed to print, when, by their votes, | it was really being finally passed. NEW TO-DAY. NAPOLEON, 3 ONCE ASKED FOR AN OPINION, Gives a Graphic Description of His Ideal Woman., Mothers Please Note. (SPECIAL TO OUE LADY READERS.] In response to a question asked by a lady, the great Napoleon replied, — “ My ideal woman is notthebeautiful-featured society belle, whose phy=- sician tries in vain to A keep her in repair, nor the fragile butterfly of fashion, who gilds the tortures of dis- ease with a forced smile. “No! my ideal is a woman who has accepted her being as a sacred trust, and who obeys the laws of nature for the preservation, of her body and soul. { ‘“Do you know, my knee involunta- rily bends in homage when I meet the matron who reaches middle age in come plete preservation. 2 ¢ That woman is rendered beautiful by perfect health, and the stalwart children by her side are her reward.

The members now account for their lack | of interest with the explanation that they | “‘thought it was simply going to print.” | “There can be no doubt that the resoln- tion was passed,”’ said John Russell, | cierk of the board, yesterday. ‘Chairman ! Morgenstern made the motion and it was | duly seconded. If Mr. Hobbs made the | motion to pass to print, as he says he did, | I certainly did not hear it nor did the | Mayor. He waited quite a little while after Morgenstern had made his motion to put | the second to it, and then put the question | in his usual form, ‘If there is no objection the resolution stands adopted.” There was | no objection and the resolution was recorded as adopted. “However,”’ continued Mr. Russell, ““I will not send out any formal notice of the | adoption in view of the fact that there has | been a misunderstanding and the board may wish to reconsider its action at the next meeting, which they have the right to do.” The resolution fixes the rates for hy- drants at $5 (an advance from $250) and reduces the rate to private consumers 10 per cent. ———— Stealing Milk Cans, A jury in Judge Low’s court wes occupled for nearly five hours yesterday afternoon and evening in listening to the stories told by twenty-four witnesses in the case of John and Jacob Stateler, charged with petty larceny. The Milkmen’s Association was pushing the case against the defendants, whose particular offense was in stealing milk cans belonging to the association, taking the brands off them and replacing them with their own brands.
