The members of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association are considerably nettled over ihe recent publication of one or two of the daily parers, to the effect that they have been “iufluenced” or be- come cowardly 1n the prosecution of the Mr. Kerr, the presi- dent, stated that the reason that nothing apparently had been done of late was be- cause the association was waiting for an answer {0 a letter sent to the Treasurv Department relative to the so- called brandy and the case of Inspector Dockery. Notbing could be done until an adswer was received, as it would not be courteous to the Federal officials to have done any- thing in the matter unti! their position was made known. An answer was received yesterday, and its contents did not please M:. Kerr. As aresuit he at once sent a reply that if | read between the lines is decidedly pep- pery. The two letters are as follows: ¥ DEPARTMENT, GToN, D.

Respectiuliy yours, W. B. HOWELL, Assistant Secretary. JULY 13, 18! To the Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C.—DEAR SIR: Referring to the letter irom the Treasury Depsriment uuder date of July . and relating to the shipment of so-called alifornia grape brandy,” I note the state- ment therein, “that there is no statute under which the canceliation of the exporiation per- | mit may be authiorized.” 1 regret very much that the case should have been viewed in this light; there were certain facts in connection with this shipment which caused me to expect & different conclu- sion, The jact that only 10 per cent of Cali- fornia grape brandy was in the mixture, showing that the name was useG with frandu- lent intent; the fact thal the signature of the Navai Officer of this port had been witaheld jrom the permit because it would Dave made him & party to & freud; the the fact that no formula had been filed as | required by law—thess three circumstances, in themselves showing serious irregulsrity in the securing of the permit, would seem to heve justified the caucellation of tne same. In ad- dition the mixture was made in violation of | our State law voverning such cases, approved March 26, 1895, and under seid law was seized by our local officer. The shipment was forcibly taken from our locgl officers and our ehiei inspector placed under arrest b the United States Marshai. 1 1. submit that I cannot im- agine » de hich conld be more damag- i1ig 10 the interests of this State, which stands poiverless 1o protect its industries or its repu- tation against such glaring frauds so long as perpetrated in a bonded mauufactur- rehouse under the protection of Fed- eral authorities. That you may be nware of the serious light in which this matter is viewed by the people of Cali ornia, I inclose articles from two of our leading papers, which relate to the sub- ject. You sre nodoubt eware that the customs authorities of London, Eug., have made public their :niention of Gealing with this shipment. I consider it a matter of regret that the officers of any foreign power should have an oppor- tuniiv to correct irregularities arising within our borders, more particuiarly at a time wben strong efforis are being made to extend our Your letter of Juiy 7 has just-been Teceived, in which it is st ury Dcpartment has ux vroposition 10 modify the rigv ing bonded manufacturing warehouses. I trust in the future prevent such issues between the Federal and State authorities as nt present exisi. Referring again to the case now pending against Mr. Dockery, our chiei inspector: You rom the press articles accompaying this letter that the public is insisting upon a regular hearing of this cage that the legality of the action of the Federal officers may be de- termined. I would remind you that the papers relating to this case which are considered necessary in this triai were forwarded to Washington on request of the Treasury Department and are reported to have been retnrned by that de- partment on June 10, As it js claimed that these papers have never reached their destin- ation in this City and the hearing of the Dockery case has been delayed in conse- quence, [ would suggest that & thorough in- vestigation be made of this whole matter. As iy now stands the pure-food laws of the State of California sre practically suspsnded as against goods made in the manufaciuring bonded warehouses. Respectfully yours, James W. K President Manufacturers’ and Produce: sociation of California. ————— Swindled a Gambler. F. T. Clark, under arrest for passing a coun- terfeit $100 bill, was allowed to go on his own rocogn zance yesteraay by United States Juage de Haven. Ciark is at the City and County Hospital suffering {rom hemeorrhage of the lungs, and he is 100 sick to be taken to Oregon for trinl. He fs like:y to die, Tne case against him is not very strong. He lost ail his money by betting ii against the kil of & faro-dealer, and in a desperste at- tempt to recover what he had lost he wagered the counterfeit bill. The gambiers won that, too, and they were so indignant at being swindled that they caused the arrest of Clark. Under the circumstances, it is not thought that Clark could be convicted, ed that the Treas- er consideration a | ation govern- | | D NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY The Grand Jury Thinks So With Regard to the Board of Education. That Is Why They Overran Their Appropriations So Largely. The Jury Compliments the Board on the Several Innovations They Have Inaugurated. The committee on Board of Education of the Grand Jury yesterday filed a sup- plemental report in which 1t reviews the financial staitus of the department and throws a iew bouquets at the board, sin- gling out Director Waller, chairman of the Finance Committee, for a few additional and separate nosegays. The committee finds that the board has in the year just closed created a deficit of $115,753 56, but condones the offense with | the expressed judgment that the appro- priation wus not originally large enough. After giving a detailed statement of tue expenses the report goes on to say: The av ropriation il or school pur- 896-97 was §1,000,000. At ar Ltheie was on 77 25, thus making & 25'uvailable for the school Takiug 8s & basis cne-hair of T 1 the year's appropriation and surplus, the Board of Educailon e ed from July 1, 1896, to Januery, 189 44 77 in excess Ty, 4 ol their allowance, while $20,508 79 was the excess of expeudiiures over ailowance for the s1x months eading June 30, 1897, showing a total deficit ot $115, 56 for iLe year. We believe the last eppropriation was notade- quate to meet the demands even for the neces- sary expenses, such as saluries, the purcnase of ‘furmture, supplies, fuel, lights, etc., and without cousidering the funds required to make such needed repairs and improvements on school buiidings and grounds. We have visited a number of schoolhouses and find they are suffering from inattention 10 their proper care some 10ur or five years ago, and are virtually disintegrating. Tin roofs, from lack of cate and paint, have rusted, soas 1o require new roofs. The yard plank- ing, where it has been down for eightor ten yesrs, is in a deplorable condition, and needs {0 be relaid. The same applies to the build- ings. The wear and teir of uschoolhouse is greater than of any other private or pubiic building, hence in the case of a number of olhouses that were erected from 1870 to 1876, and having alrcads overreacbed the natural lifeof a wooden bui.ding, it becomes incumbent upon the department to prelong the life of such bulldings and save them from total decay. Modern sanitary laws, based on scientific priuciples, demand certain modifications a .d improvements in plumbing in all the school buildings. Such work is expensive and costs from 200 to 300 per cent more than did in- ferior methoas of coustruction fifteea to twenty years ago. The same may be suid of ventilation. Much depends upou its proper introauction 1n crowded schoolrooms to in- | sure good healtn, and there seems to be much | room tor improvements in this direction in the majority of the scioolhouses. We would recommend that the board take immediate steps to remedy this Gefect, 50 es- seutial (o the children’s health. Among the iunovations of the new board is ths Heniin Committee. At the instigation of 5. L. Wal- ler, its chairman, & system of lemperature cards has been adopicd in al ciasstooms throughout the City, baving a thermomeser attached, which acts as'a regulator of ventila- tion and temperature of classrooms, and by proper inspection wiil prove not ouly benefi- cial to the children's health, buta financial saving to the devartment through its check- ing unnecessary consumption of fuel. Where 1t becomes necessary o reconstruct oid build- iugs or in mew structures much care shouid be exercised in the proper placing of lights and windows so as to conform with modern principles and be least injurious to the eyes of the scholars. The Henlth Committee has apoointed, with- out salary, Lwo eye specia ists, who have so far examined the eyes of 4186 children, of which 1844 have defcctive visivn and shouid wear correcting glasses, whereas but 138 are now so suppiied. The committee finds much te praise in the new system of bookkeeping adopted by the depariment and by the checks put upon the method of making and filiing requisitions, The committee filing the report is comwposed of L. 8.

Beveral matters of importance were con- sidered at the meeting of the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce yésterday. The first was to decide to send a letter to General W. W. Duffieid, chief of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, requesting that he order surveyed the bar of San ¥rancisco Bay and its approaches, the harbor survey being now nearly com- pleted. As a token of respect it was decided to elect the president of the Paris (France) American Chamber of Commerce as an honorary member of the San Francisco Chamber. ' A letter was received from the Southern Pacific Company relative to and advo- cating the establishment of a French mail steamship line to run between this City and Tahiti, The matter was referred to the proper committee of the chamber for action. The atiention of the trustees was called to the importance of pushing the work on the extension of the belt railroad on the water front. A number of members sent word that they knew of several instances where factories have moved away from the City on account of the great cost of cartage. One case was cited where a firm, whose hauling amounied to $7000 a year, went elsewhore on this account. It was decided to request Mayor Phelan to join with_the chamber in an action to bave the Harbor Commissioners push this work with greater rapidity, Complaints were received of the high distributing tariff on carloads of goods from this City to 1he interior, and i shown that this discrimination 15 wo: a great injury to tue local firms in their Gealings with those in the interior. A special committee will call upon Traffic Manager C. F. Smurr of the raiiroad com- pany with a view of remedying the tariff. olution of thanks was passed 1o the California delegates in Congress for their active and persistent action on the tariff bill, with a result of producing a fair system of protection on California products. Speclal mention was made of the efforts of Senator Perkins, which were highlvy appreciated. Several new members were added to the rotl of the chamber. The report was uade that a full delega- tion from the Chamber of Cominerce left on Sunday for the trans-Mississippi Con- gress that meets to-day io Sait Lake. The deiegation was iully instructed by the chamber as to what stand to take on the matters of imporiance to California, viz, Tne Nicaragua canal, Hawaiian annexa. tion, Japanese competition and the Mone- tary Commission.
