Its Economical Advantages Render Its Universal Adoption a Necessity. Weavers, mechanics and manufacturers are taking a great interest in the new loom attachment; and even capitalists are be- ginning to see the great money-making possibilities of this machine. J. H. Bigelow, master mechanic and formerly superintendent of the Waltham, Elgin and Springfield Watch Factory, now owner of the machine works at 10 Steven- son street, in this City, says: “One would suppose, after the old methods of weaving had been in use for thousands of years, that there was little room for improvement in the looms, but the idea of this loom attachment is a new departure, ingenious in its simplicity, practical, cheap, efficient and durable. One great point in its favor is its universal ap- plication. I believe it is destined to be the method of weaving in the future.” Mr. Hunt, the inventor, said: “My father was a weaver and in my young days 1 learned that business. Isaw the neces- sity and the possibility of an improvement on the looms in use, and for thirty years I have worked almost constantly to get an attachment to a loom that would enable a loom to run without stopping, and would weave with a continuous supply of filling thread. I have succeeded, and now any one can see it work. We will soon have others built, and I will show you a loom that I can start to weaving at night when Igotobed, and in the morning when I get up it will still be weaving. ‘Aside from the advantages of running without stopping and weaving with a con- tinuous filling thread, there are many other points of saving. It saves waste, and power, and labor, and when desired, it places in more than one filling thread at once. Infancy weaving it placesin various colors of filling thread as the weaver de- sires and does it automatically without stopping the loom. “The points of saving are so ereat that all looms must use the attachment. I think it will not be long till the weaving of the world will be done with this attachment on every loom.” D. M. Seaton, vice-president of the Hunt Loom and Fabric Company, was seen at the office of the company at 504 Kearny street, room 10, and said: We have now one loom with this attachment in opera- tion and any one can see it. We will build other sample attachments as soon as pos- sible. The Lawrence Manufacturing Com- pany 2re sending ys the latest style of cot- ton loom on which to place this attach- ment. We expect to run them at 150 pic a minute. These attachments built in quantities will cost less than: $10 each, and | we can sell them at $100 or we can rent them at §5 per month. When we think of | | the vast quantities of woven fabrics that are made and consumed and of the 8,000,- 000 looms now running in the world, and that this loom attachment saves from 10 to | 20 per cent of the costof weaving, you begin to understand the magnitude and importance of this attachment. 5 No, our corporation will never be as- sessed. The 8000 shares of stock we are | now selling at $2 50 per share will give us | all the money we require to carry out our plans, To fully realize the value and prospects of this attachment a person must under- stand the old methods of weaving and the construction of looms now used all over the world. Each one of these looms stops 500 times in ten hours. Then look at a loom with this attachment weaving with a continuous automatic supply of filling thread and running all day without stop- ping, and yon want to sit down and think, For the benefit of weavers and mill men | T desire to say that we will run a ten-foot | wide loom at the rate of ninety picks a minute and a narrow cotton loom at 150 picks per mirute. Some of our friends have criticized the speed of the old loom on which we have first placed this attachment. Let me say | that 1t keeps up a steady gait of sixty-five | picks per minute and before Christmas it will run at ninety. Come and see it any day at 3 o’clock at 1209 Capp street, and_I will show you the greatest money-making machine “in this | world. e ¥ire Commissioners.

Three Corner-Grocery Men Testify That They Were Given Worthless Checks. Rev. P. H. Schweitz appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday morning for his preliminary examination on four charges of forgery preferred against him, and after the hearing of the testimony was placed under bonds of $20,000. Willilam Be Dell, the railroad agent, and three grocers testified as to their being the recipients from Schweitz of worthless checks, each check bearing the signature of a certain E. L. Berg, whose existence yet seems purely mythical. Schweitz entered the courtroom with timid, hesitating steps. His sallow face grew gradually redder as the hearing of the case proceeded. He looked around rue- the Nevada Bank, and the cashier said there was no money there for L. E. Berg.” Mg, Grant identified the check, and re- peated that he had no knowledge what- ever of L. E. Berg. Judge Conlan placed the unfortunate and unhappy clergyman under bonds of $5000 for each charge of forgery, making $20,000 in all. : “I wonld suggest, your Honor,” said Mr. Tamm, ‘‘that the defendant is in a strange land and among a strange people. He concedes that at presenc his good name is heavily clouded, gut hopes soon to clear it, and if the bonds were reduced to what we would consider a reasonable amount he would be able to give them, and could then put forward better efforts in his own behalf.”” “I have taken the case under advise- ment,’” said the Judge, “‘and I believe the bonds are none too heavy.”’ WORKING HAND IN HAND.

Attorneys Tamm and Treadwell ap- peared for the accused. The first witness called was William Be Dell. He stated: “On November 6 of this year Schweitz came into my office and made inquiries regarding balf rates that are granted ministers, The next day he returned and-purchased a ticket present- | ing me a check for $15. I looked at the | check and said, ‘This is not signed by | you?' He replied that the name L. Berg on the face of the paper was that of | a secretary of some Christian association. 1 then accepted the check and signed it and sent it by a poy in the office to the Nevada Bank fo get it cashed. The clerk of the bank returned the check and sent back word that L. E. Berg had no account | there and the check was worthless.” “Did you know Schweitz?” asked At-| torney Mogan. | No, I never saw the party before he | came into my office November 6. He was indorsed by other parties however, so I did not suspect anything.” “Did he come as represented by the | clergy ?” asked Treadwell. | “Yes, I told him we could give him a ticket only to Chicago and from there he | would have to purchase again for farther East, as the Southern Pacific only gives half-rate tickets that far.” George Gi. Grant, assistant cashier of the | | Nevada Bank, next took the stand and | identified the check as the one given him. | “It was presented to me by a young man,” said he, “and I returned it saying that L. | E. Berg had no account in the bank.” | In the cross-examination Mr. Grant testi- | fied that be never knew L. E. Berg and | that L. E. Berg had never had any account | there. “‘And 1 bave been employed by the bank | for thirteen years,” added he. At this point Treadwell made a motion i that the case be dismissed on the ground that the prosecution had not proved the invalidity of the check. The motion was denied. John D. Feldton of 800 Haight street, who deals in groceries and liquors, testified that on or about November 16 Schweitz came into his store and said he would like to telephone to the Baldwin Hotel. “I showed him the telephone and after he | finished talking he asked me if I would change a check of $10 for him on the Nevada Bank. I said, ‘Put your name on it and he wrote S. H. Schweitz; then I gave him the money. This was on Sun- day. He gave me hiscard so that I could know where he lived. “I went down a da bank and they told me there that the check was worthless. The cashier said there was no money there for L. E. Berg.” Mr, Grant, the assistant cashier, took the stand and identified this check also. Another grocer, John M. Blohm of 608 Haight street, testified that on or about November 16 Schweitz came into his store and asked him to cash a check of $10. “I told him that I did not do that kind jof a thing. Then he said he owed a butcher on the block, and finally, after talking with him a while, I paid him and ke indorsed the check. It wason the Ne- vada Bank and had the name of L. E. Berg on its face. “The rext day I gave it to a wholesale commission-house on Market street. Their bookkeeper returned it to me and said it was worthless.” Mr. Grant likewise, as he had done with the previous checks, identitied this as the one presented him by a clerk of Brigham Hopps & Co.’s commission house. “The check came into my hands in the usual way for collection,” said Mr, Grant. ““I returned it with the tag: ‘L. E. Berg has no account.’ ” On cross-examination he was asked: “Can you swear if L. E. Berg signed that check ?’ “No, 1 do not know.” “*Can you swear if Mr. Schweitz signed the cheek ?” “No, I do not know that, either.’” The last witness was another grocer, John T. Tideman, southeast corner of Haieht and Fillmore streets, “‘On or about November 16 this man,” pointing to Schweitz, who looked at his accuser with agonizing earnestness, ‘‘came into my store, and my wife called me down. He said that the butcher had sent him to me to get a check cashed. I sup. posed the check was all right and cashed it. It was for $10. erward I took it to or two later to the bridge of the Ebell Society. Mr. Tacey will aitend the exposition as a representa- tive of the association, and his services are particularly placed at the disposal of the ladies of the society. THE NEW BLYTHE BLOCK Mrs. Florence Blythe-Hinckley Will Make Many Im- provements. After Twelve Years Contesting She Is in Full Possession of Her Millions. The settlement of the Blythe estate and the transfer of the property to Mrs. Flor- ence Blythe-Hinckley by the Public Ad- ministrator is followed by much rejoicing among the successful litigants. It has always been the intention of Mrs. ifinckley to erect a handsome building on the block fronting on Market street and Grant avenue, and now that she has come into possession of the property her plans will be carried out. She, says thatas her home will always be in San Francisco and | her interests being here. she will do all in her power to beautify the City, in which she takes an especial pride. Mr. and Mrs. Hinckley have been living quietly in a flat at 626 Geary street and there they will remain for the present. Many friends called to congratulate them. The property turned over to Mrs. Hinck- ley is valued at about $3,400,000. The cash on hand is$250,000. This sum Pubdlic Ad- ministrator Freese will retain until he has rendered his final account. Mean- while Mrs. Hinckley will coll ect the rents from the tenants in the Blythe block. The total rental roll averages $12,000 a month. In twelve dyears the rents col- lected have amounted to $1,728,000. Mrs. Hinckley says the first thing she will do will be to liquidate all legitimate claims against the estate. About two- fifths of the estate will go to the attorneys in the case. .. The stag-beetles of Chile are among the most beautiful of the insect tribe.

T DAIRYMEN- IN' TROUBLE An Opposing Faction Springs Up in the Milkmen's Association. It Is Said That an Effort Will Be Made to Abolish Inspector Dockery’s Office. Disorder exists in the ranks of the Milk- men’s Association, and it is ail due to the effective work of Milk Inspector James P. Dockery. There are two opposing fac- tlons, and they profess to be working to- ward the same end—the suppression of the sale of skim milk. It appears, however, that some twenty or more milk-dealers will attempt to form an’ independent association, with the one object of doing away with milk inspection altogether. They claim that certain mem- bers of the Milkmen’s Association are al- lowed much greater license than the law provides, particularly in the matter of selling skim milk. Itis their purpose, as given out by them, to stop this, and also to see that partiality is shown none. The leader of tbis element is M. John- son of the firm of Johnson & Brown. He is supported by dairymen, all members of the Milkmen’s Association, there names being as follows: P. F. E. Stelner, Bacher & Co., Willi Bros., Farrer Bros., Frank Marti, B. Casson, Sarthou Trebucq, Florni & Andrea, Bowman & Bow- man, Russie & Regli, Jacob Hein, P. Canban, Frank Sembertrant, J. Kennel, Antone Simon & Co., J. Zwissig. John Tschman, August Pon- tacq and Peter Pallason. A majority of the dairymen credited with being anxious to form a new associa- tion have been arrested by Mr. Dockery for selling impure milk. Tt follows that they have no great amount of affection for the new Milk Inspector, hence any movement tending to cripple the effective- ness of his work must meet their appro- bation. It is the purpose of the proposed asso- ciation to raise such a sum of mouey as will effectually kill the office of Milk Inspector. Just how this money is to be spent is not apparent at the present time. It will be remembered by those who keep track of the Health Department that the last board appointed J. F. Johnson Milk Inspector at a salary of $150 a month. It will aiso be recalled that the office was sbolished because it was made practically inoperative by reason of certain restric- tions enacted by the Board of Supervisors. The names of those who will make a fight for Mr. Dockery should the occasion demand it are as foliows: Gaston Ranch, California Milk Company, X L Dairy, Gaudaloupe Dairy, Millbrae Dairy, W. C. Miller, Millbrae Company, Stone & Co., Jersey Farm, Nevada Ranch, Dailey & Cald- well,” W. G. Lowe, Oakland Dairy, Such & Nelson, John Lenehan, Durham Farm, Dutton & Wright, J. A, Steth, H.Q.

The Milkmen’s Association has called a meeting for to-day at 2 o’clock, for they purpose discussing the situation and at the same time giving those an opportunity to withdraw who might so desire. Secretary Greene of the Milkmen's As- sociation, when asked last night concern- ing the disruption of the association, said: “I'have heard that there wasa movement on foot to organize a new association, but further than this I know nothing. These dissatisfied members, if there are any, will be given an opportunity to-day to with- draw. The backbone of the association is for pure milk first, last and always, and will fight for Mr. Dockery as long as he continues in the path followed since his appointment two months ago.” Johnson, IF IF you wish to learn the state of the weather you must consult a barometer. IF you wish to know the state of your health, your bedy is a natural barometer. IF you seem to lack energy and feel tired there is something the matter with your circulation. IF you are bilious, consti- pated, dyspeptic, nervous, you need something to tone up your digestive organs. IF you feel a sudden cold or chill, bear in mind it may lead to pneumonia. IF you feel any or all of these symptoms remember that DUFFY’S PURE MALT WHISKEY is the safest and best thing you can take to get rid of them. There is no other whiskey like it, and nothing else that can possibly take its place.
