THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1898. WINE MEN CRITICIZE WAR TAXES The Measure Declared Unjustly Drawn. BULK DEALERS NOT HIT THE BOTTLING HOUSES ARE GIVEN THE BURDENS. French Reciprocity Strikes a Severe Blow at the Brandy Industry. Sweet Wine Makers to Suffer. The wine men of California, particular- se dealing largely in case goods, the of brandy and the producers and s of sweet wines, are much de- 1 over the action of the Govern- reference to the recent signing procity treaty with France and ssage of the war revenue bill by the | nate yesterday, practically making it a In the latter measure wines, dry or | 1g, are taxed one cent for each | 4 two cents for quart bottles when d. This adds a tax of 24 cents a case, r at the rate of ten cents per gallon. Inl 1ssing the situation they call atten- tion to the fact that wine from first hands is selling as low as § cents per gallon in California, and if such wines were bottled the tax would be greater than the value | of the goods. One and all declare that they are not unpatriotic and are willing to bear their share of the expenses of the war, but they attempt to show that the | tax collected will not be sufficient to pay the expenses of the Government and will result only in making positions for a lot | of internal revenue collectors. It was, they think, the idea of those who drew the bill that it would add quite a sum to | the national fund. However, they main- | tain that this was a mistake, as will be the fact that not only in San isco, but in the large eastern cen- of population, the bulk of the wine k is sold to consumers m demijohns mall kegs. All this wine escapes the this reason the dealers who in bulk only can laugh at tors in the case-wine branch 1is feature of the law is what ausing resentment among the latter > situation and felt the ne- y of imposing a tax, it should have placed upon the original product in | ulkk in cellars, thereby simplifying the work of collection and returning a profit. On the other hand the industry is in no | to low prices and a decreased demand. Some of the members of the trade fear that the tax will result not only in further | on to bear a further burden, owing the prices of wine, but in the co mption. So far is concerned it will certainly be the former lling figures and mer will “pay the fiddler. the trouble of stamping each bot- keeping the records for the r i1l add a at deal of ¢ One of the Government ction between | s of wine.

When you consider that there are firms In this city who sell from 3,00 000 to 4,000,000 gallons of wine per ard to see where the im e Government will get the worst of proposition in Tun, as the effect will be to drive the sale of cheaper wines into the demijohn and keg trade all of which will react a bottlers, the tax only to o they need | in decanters serve their wines half bottles to defeat the law. | One branch of the business that will get 8 very black eye Is that which sells wir in bottles to local family and grocery | customers, etc., in baske They wiil | be compelled to stamp each bottle and | as they work on a very small margin they will have plenty of trouble. Still, they can also beat the law by delivering the wine in bulk and bottling it at the place of the purchaser. If the law-mak- ers had provided for a flat tax of 2 or 5 cents per gallon on bulk wines they would have covered the whole field and realized | & few thousand dollars profit on the prop- | osition. _As it is there may be a balance | on the wrong side of the ledger. One thing that can be looked for is a large | increase in the internal revenue force of | collectors. We will advance the price | of our goods and do the best we can. “If the proper representations had been | made to the committee in Congress that | clause of the bill would never have car- ried, but it was neglected by those whose duty it was to attend to the matter, and the result is a severe blow to the bot- tling branch of the trade. The industry is in a miserable condition now, and while we will gladly pay our just proportion | of taxation as loyal Americans, we feel that the action of the Government is a blunder and will result in no benefit to any one. Of course the measure was rushed through and the result will show | that it was ignorantly drawn.” i The reciprocity treaty with France | which reduces the customs duty on| French spirits from $18) per gallon to | $120 has alarmed the distillers of brandy in California, as the law has evidently | come to stay. American distillers pay $1 10 tax per gallon, but the cheap spirits | from France, made from beets and po-| tatoes, can be placed on the markets of the United States at prices to give the| importers the best of the business. When taken In consideration with the well-| known fact that foreign goods are al- most_invariably given the preference, it | can be seen that native distillers have | me cause to fear the result to their de- pressed business. With reference to the sweet wine mak- ers, they regard this reduction of duty as a deadly blow to their branch of the in- dustry. This comes from the fact that these cheap French spirits can be used in the sophistification of sweet wines and the pure product, to a great extent, will be run out of the market. Taken all around, the outlook for Cali- fornia’s wine and brandy men is con-| :ldwed by them more gloomy than be- ore. Departmental Expenses. The Auditor has received further esti- fmates of expenses as follows: Police Department—Regular _salaries; $718,- 6 aintenance of police patrol and signal EYEL 52,659: maintenance of mounted pa- trol, $6713; additions to police patrol and signal eystem, $29, purchase of steamer to board incoming and 'outgoing vessels and for water front patrol, $10,000.

Fidella Casual and Augustin Blamire Wed in Haste, but Think There Will Be No Re- pentance. The good fortune of capturing as a hus- band a handsome young lawyer whose wealth is supposed to be represented by a large figure followed by four ciphers seldom falls to the lot of a variety act- ress whose salary depends largely on the | number of bottles of liquid refreshment she can sell to her chance admirers, but such has been the case with Miss Fidella Casual, who was married Thursday morning to Augustin Blamire. The two young people met the evening betore the marriage, enamored of each other, and after securing the services of | a minister departed for the southern part of the fitate on their weddiag trip. Misg Casual, a petite, auburn haired soubrette, secured a position in a weil known uptown concert hall the first of this week and considered herself fortu- | nate, though how much so she little knew. For thiec nights she did a short turn the early part of the evening, and then oc- cupied her time by making herself agree- able to the numerous patrons of the place and luring them by her sweet smiles and pleasing ways to pay $3 for four bit wine, she receiving a certain per cent of the money thus obtained by the house. That she must have been eminently successful in securing the elusive uollar for herself and employer is evident from the short time it took her to win Mr. Blamire. The gentleman in question strolled into the concert hall Wednesday evening in company of a friend and sat down to en- joy the entertainment offered without the | slightest inkling that he was to meet a lady who would entirely change his plans for the future. When Miss Casual ap- peared on the stage in a sailor costume, assumed with the intention of making herself acceptable to the soldier boy fre- quenters of the place, the young lawyer was much impressed by the beauty and cleverness of the little soubrette and de- termined to meet her. Through the connivance of a willin walter Miss Casual and the intereste lawyer found themselves together In a closed box near the stage, and each with- out any intention of matrimony sought to be agreeable to the other. Cupid must have been somewhere in the vicinty with his ready bow, and it didn’t take him long to plant one of his dangerous ar- rows deep in the hearts of the two un- suspecting_victims. Two hours sufficed for Cupld’s shafts to get iIn their work, and Miss Casual and Mr. Blamire jeft the theater vowing eternal love to each other. The license office not being kept open as late as the concert hall prevented a marriage that night, but early the following morning it was vis- jted by Mr. Blamire, and shortly after- ward he and Miss Casual were made husband and wife. The first intimation the young lady’s employer had that one of his star act- resses had deserted him for another man- ager was Thursday evening, when he re- ceived a note from the lady, informing t she would appear no longer, B et & slight hint of the reason. The news spread rapidly among the at- taches of the theater, and now every girl is envlous of the good fortune of her sister. Each is hopeful that what has happened may happen again, and all are now on the lookout for any luckless stranger who may come within their gates.

Campers who, in the past, have found | pleasant quarters in Niles Canyon, will | this year be required to pitch their tents | below the dam owned by the Spring Val- | ley Water Company. The water com- pany has purchased all of the water | rights in the canyon, and has in addition | secured control of the most of the ranches in the Alameda Creek Canyon above Niles. Not a few campers who expected to lo- cate themselves above the dam have been turned off by the agents of the water company. “We have no objection to campers selecting sites below the dam,” said Charles Webb Howard, president of | the Spring Valley Water Company, yes- | terday, “but under no circumstances will any of them be allowed to camp above the dam. It is true that the company has acquired considerable land in the canyon above Niles,” he concluded, “but that is a matter in which the public has no interest.” Hot Shots At the winners in the Produce Ex- | change form an interesting column in | to-day’s News Letter, and the Crier | shows up three war heroes, besides a | dozen other people who are deserving |of caustic mention.

FALSE LABELING TO BE STOPPED. SUIT AGAINST LIQUOR FIRMS BY THE GOVERNMENT. They Shipped Poor Liquor Under Brands and Marks Used on Superior Goods. On behalf of the Government United States Attorney Foote and Assistant At- torney Knight filed yesterday In the Unit- ed States District Court a sult against the firm of Cronan & Wissemann to recover judgment for $500 fine for shipping gin and bitters under false labels. The com- plaint charges that the marks, etc., on the packages ‘“‘were other than, and not the true and proper name or brand known to the trade as designating the kind and quality of the contents of said box or package, as none of said bottles at such time contained the genulne Siegert's An- gostura Bitters nor Holland gin, as the same were and are known to such trade.” A similar suit has been filed against the firm of Henry Campe & Co., for selling to a saloon in the city of Stockton liquor purporting to be one-star Hennessy cofimlm' but which was not the genuine article. Mr. Knight said that the cases would test the right of liguor dealers to pass off infericr goods under well-known brands for the purpose of decelving the retail purchaser. ‘he market is flooded with vile stuff bearing respectable brands and purporting to have been produced in for- eign countries, and a vigorous attempt 1 be made to abate the evil. The suits are brought under section 3449 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States, which reads as follows: ““Whenever any person ships, transports or removes any spirituous or fermented liquors or wines under any other than the proper name or brand known to the trade eslzna!lni the kind and quality of the contents of the cask or package contain- ing the same, or causes such act to he done, he shall forfeit said liquors:or wines and casks or packages, and be subject to p?ha e 3( in éon!rnversy w bei e goods ere bel shipped £o 4 firm in Stockton, 5 ———— Alice Rix writes about “The Men They Left Behind Them,” Blamire has but recently returned |in next Sunday’s Call. will leave for London to transact busi- HER LIFE A WEIRD TALE Mrs. Henvis’ Whirls on Fortune’s Wheel. FROM RICHES TO POVERTY IN SEARCH OF AN HEIR TO A LARGE ESTATE. She Was the “Beautiful Brunette of Mystery” of the Old City Prison—Borrowed of Jay Gould. The life of Mrs. L. L. Henvis, formerly Mrs. Rene Woodward, seems to have been laden with romance from the time she was 16 years of age up to date. At the age mentioned she was a half or- phan and possessed of property valued at $80,000 in her own right, all located in her native city of Minneapolis. It was left by her mother to be held by her father in trust until she became of age, or was married, no matter when. The mother had not been dead more than six months, when Rene Woodward, member of one of Kentucky’s best fam- iles, passed through Minneapolis fresh from the University of Michigan. He stopped over with a friend, and there met Miss Bartlett, for that was her maiden name. It was love at first sight, and they were married two days later, the young man bringing home a bride instead of a sheepskin, greatly to the annoyance of his parents. The young wife grew angry at her reception, and informed her hus- band of her independent fortune. Rene was a horse fancler, and a ‘“‘sporty boy” who knew just what to do with inde- pendent fortunes. Good luck followed for a couple of years, and he more than doubled the riches of his wife by follow- ing the races. She became a gambler with him, and they plunged together un- til they plunged through every cent, fin- ally waking up at the Hoffman House, New York, penniless. They were in_a strange house and in a strange city. Woodward wanted to sui- cide by the gas route. “All right,” she said, “but give me an DAME FORTUNE'S SPORT. MRS. L. L. HENVS, Who Alternates Be- tween Affluence and Poverty. S Fisk, to a note for over $3000, and sen- tenced to five years in San Quentin. Through the intervention of his wife, he did not go across the bay, but was par- doned by Governor Markham after two and a half years in Branch County Jail 2. When he got out he found his faithful spouse without funds. That did not suit him, so he left her to her fate and took to racetrack touting. Mrs. Woodward was utterly cast down for a while, but newly made friends came to her aid, and she started a lodging-house, which proved a success. A divorce on the ground of desertion followed, and somewhat over a Kear ago she married Henvis, a andsome goung marine stationed at Mare Island. He is_the son of wealthy parents, and, being disinherited, went on a spree and joined the navy. Last week his time of enlistment expired, and con- temporaneously with its expiration Mrs. Henvis received a letter from Denver, Colo., written by a lawyer, informing her of the death of Hannah C. Bartlett, her grandmother. “By her will,” he writes, “you are be- queathed property valued at about $58,000, as nearly as we can estimate it. Your uncle has been left a similar amount, but he cannot be found, which interferes with the distribution of the estate.” Mrs. Henvis says she can find him with- in a month, and she and her husband were packing up to start out on that mis- slon when seen at their apartments in a Fourth-street lodging-house yesterday. BOYS' BRIGADE DRILL. Successful Entertainment Held in Aid of Second Local Company. An interesting entertainment and drill were given last evening under the aus- pices of the Second San Francisco Com- | pany, Boys’ Brigade and Red Cross So- | clety, in the lecture-room of the First | Presbyterian- Church.

A Woman’s Husband May Sellé Liquor Under the License Is- sued to His Wife. Internal Revenue Collector Lynch has been notified of the following decisions of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue: ‘Where grapes are pressed at one place and the juice is then carried to another place and there fermented, the latter is the place of manufacture of the wine. and the manufacturer is therc permitted by the provisions of section 3248 Revised Stat- utes to sell it without paying special tax. A special stamp tax taken by a woman as a retail liquor dealer in her own name i{s sufficlent for the same business con- ducted by her husband who takes charge of it upon her retirement therefrom. He is not required to pay special tax and take out a stamp in his own name because of the fact that a town license was re- fused to her but issued to him. The fact that a person is an authorized liquor dealer under the internal revenue laws does not prevent him from _engnglnfi also in the compounding of medicines; an it he does so, using spirits in combination with roots, herbs or drugs, and sells the compound only under a label specifying the diseases for which it is held out as a remedy, he is an apothecary within the exempting provision of section 3246, Re- vised Statutes. ——e——— Another Week-Day Excursion to the Santa Cruz Mountains—Very Low Rate for Tickets. The Southern Pacific Company havel decided to run one more of their popu- lar week-day excursions to the Santa | Cruz Mountains and announce that Saturday, the 18th inst., a special ex- cursion train of first-class coaches will leave San Francisco at 7:45 a. m. and Fourteenth and Franklin streets, Oak- land, at 7:45 a. m., stopping at all the well-known camping resorts, such as Alma, Wrights, Glenwood, the new and beautiful Camp Arcadia, Ben Lomond, Rowardennan and Boulder Creek. Round trip tickets for this train will be sold at the very low rate of §1 25; returning excursionists will reach San Francisco at 8:05 p. m. The train will be under the personal supervision of Colonel William H. Menton, the well- known excursion agent. As this will be the last week-day ex- cursion of the season to the Santa Cruz Mountains those who have not yet de- cided as to where they will take their summer outing and particularly those who have never visited this charming region should avail themselves of this opportunity. hour, and if T do not return with money we will pass out together.” In the appointed time by Woodward's stop watch that had been held on so many races that lost, she was back with Jjust $500 in nice new bills. In answer to his question as to where she got the money, she said: ‘I went to the office of Jay Gould; gave him a song and dance, my promissory note; and—you see the rest.” They jumped out of New York in “Jig time,” as she expresses it, and came to California, where Woodward got the agency of a liquor house. Though get- ting a_good aalarg‘ his habits caused him to become an embezzler, and in less than twelve months he was behind in accounts over $4000. Just eight years ago he was arrested at the Galindo Hotel, Oakland, and lodged at the old City Prison in this eity.

Nearly Fifty Millions Are Said to Be at Stake in the Contest That Will Shortly Begin. Attorney J. B. Randolph of Oakland will start for London in a few days for the purpose of appearing before British chancery courts to lay claim to several estates aggregating many millions. The claimants to the sums that have long lain awaiting their owners do not all live at Oakland, though several of the heirs are residents of Alameda County. “One of the most important claims un- der way,’, sald Mr. Randolph yesterday, “is that of Willlam F. Barker, who is a nephew of the late Sir John T. Barker of Belfast, who committed suicide some years ago. The old man married the Countess of Melrose, and part of the areoperty in question will be Melrose Las- “‘One of the claimants was George T. Barker, a cousin of my client. George recently died in the Missouri (penltenuary, where he was serving a life term for shooting a man whom he found in com- pany with his flancee. Now that he is dead my client is the chief American claimant, and I have letters from eminent legal sources in London that give me confldence that we will have little trouble in winning the case.” It appears that about all that is neces- sary to settle the case in favor of the Oakland claimant, according to advices received from London, is proof of the claimant’s birth and a due certificate of his mother's marriage. Sir Willlam Humphreys, a_well known London bar- rister, has had charge of the affairs of the claimant in England. He awaits the arrival of Attorney Randolph, who ex- pects to reach London in a few weeks with proofs that will make the case smooth sailing. The genealogical proofs of the case run back as far as 1613, and the Oakland claimant says he has a com- plete copy of the family records in a safe deposit bank in this city. Mr. Barker thinks the value of the estate is not far from fifty millions. He says he has every assurance of winning the entire amount. As he is a great spiritualist, he says he will spend millions in erecting a spiritualist temple in Los Angeles if he {s fortunate enough to suc- ceed in the litigation that is now taking Attorney Randolph to London. CANTON CERTIFICATES. Their Validity Will Be Determined by a Test Case Begun Yesterday in the District Court. Sixty-one Chinese arrived on the Doric recently with what are designated as No. 6 or Canton certificates, which state that the person whose name and description it bears is a merchant and entitled to land. The exclusion act of 1384 prescribes that the certificate shall state, among other things, the nature, character and esti- mated value of the bearer's business. The treaty with China which was rati- fied in 1894 prescribes that the immigrant must have a certificate, but does not re- quire the nature, character and estimated value of the business to be stated. It is contended by the Chinese that, the treaty being of later birth than the statute, su- persedes it wherever the statute comes in conflict with it and that therefore that portion of the statute requiring the state- ment of the nature, character and esti- mated value of the business of the appli- cant need not be regarded as in effect; in other words, that it has been repealed by the provisions of the treaty. In order to settle the matter, the Col- lector of the Port determined to make a test case, and, in accordance with this arrangement, one of the sixty-one immi- grants was allowed to land, and was im- mediately arrested on the ground that he is iliegally in the country. Hé will pre- sent his Canton certificate to United States District Judge de Haven, and the matter will be argued and submitted on | law point: —_———— Aid Is Asked For.
