He invited the defendants and their relentless prosecutors to chairs and then beégan an investigation that will go down ,in Police Court annals as the ‘‘clammiest” investigation ever held. Mr. de Croix, who parts his name in the middle, told a sad story of prosecution and suffering. He has a “clam bed" which adjoins that of the Connells. The clams on his side of the line have imbibed the bitter feeling. that exists between the rivals and they do not visit each other. The dividing line between the clam beds shifts with each changing tide and this results in warm arguments and oftentimes blows. A few days ago De Croix crossed the dividing line to remonstrate with the Connells. He was treated unneigh- borly—in fact, hc was thrown into the ooze that lies at the foot of the Connell mansion, and as he sank he heard Pat Malacky and the Connells yell derisively at his plight. When he succeeded in reaching dry land and had shaken the clams out of his boots he hied himself to the Police Court and swore to complaints against both men and Pat Malacky for giving him a mud bath and the ‘“ha ha."” prepared, to are rave In fact, if asked foot of Thirty- to ‘“‘rubber- the D D S s S N o R O O B o S A e e g e e R e e e e e e e e ] A TA T AT A AT AT AT A TS A TS A TR TSRS AT | NUPTIALS OF MISS MILLIE 2| MARICH AND H.

The bride is the yvoungest daughter of the late Ella Marich, a ploneer mer- chant of San Francisco and a large property holder in Contra Costa County. The groom is the son of the late Willlam T. Hammond, one of the early settlers of Napa County. For the last sixteen years Harry Ham- mond has been in the employ of the San Francisco Call as proof reader. Mrs. H. T.

The young couple will pass their honeymoon in the south and then return to San Francisco, which will be thelr future home. B THTAT AT AT AT AT A TR TS AR A TS AT AR S A @ FIGHTING TO SAVE GRAVE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST POUNDKEEPER o R R AT ARk Tk Pacific Coast Merchants Endeavor to Block the Scheme of Canadian Shipowners at Washington. For the past few weeks the Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific Coast repre- sentatives at Washington have been at work to prevent the authorities at the na- tional capital acceding to the wishes of British Columbla shippers to have Nome City a sub-port of entry. It was learned here that shipowners whose vessels are fiying the flag of her Majesty have been advertising to carry freight and passen- gers direct to Nome as soon as the weath- er would permit. No time was lost in ury ing Western Representatives to block t! game, o as to give the owners of Amer- ican coasting vessels the business, which rightfully belongs to them.. If Nome is not made a sub-port of en ri)Brltlsh ship. pers will have to land at Dutch Harbor or St. Michael and send their passengers and cargoes to the new gold flleds by American vessels. Senator Perkins and others have presented the matter to the Treasury Department, receiving the as- surance that Nome would be held for American shippers only. Recently the Ra?lubucu.n Represcnta tives Jearned that the Canadlan shippers were working to influence the Treasury Department to reconsider the matter, so Supervisors’ Health and Hospita' Committee Will Hold an Inves- tigation This Afternoon. The Supervisors' Health and Hospital Committee will take up the charges agalnst Poundkeeper Walton this after- noon. Anthony Frayer of 2757 Sixteenth street alleges that Walton, on March 2, while Intoxicated, viciously assaulted him, used vile and obscene language and threatened to shoot him. E. F. Murray and Timothy C. Lynch depose that Walton, while intoxicated, on another occasion insulted a Mrs. Lipp- kowski, at 3022 Clement street, and when her husband attempted to interfere, he was abused by Walton, who also drew a revolver. Walton is also accuyed of assaulting one Harrington and one Wal- lace while he was on duty. —————————— Death of Mrs. Van Schaick. L. H.

When we are ready to withdraw the slide so as to expose the plate, that is, to allow the picture as we have just seen it upon the ground glass to be thrown .n the same way upon the face of the dry plate in our holder and the image of the pictus to be impregnated upon the plate. W must again caution against overexposure. We shall learn later on of exposuie meters for mechanically judging of ex- posure. At present we shall endeavor to get as correct an exposure as possible our own judgment, which after all s the best exposure meter. This judging of cor- rect exposure is a part of photography which should recefve constant study. Lx- pert knowledge is secured only through ervation and long experience. Suppose that we have a medium plate in the holder and that our view is made up of a clump of trees, a brook, a fe large stones and an old log bridge. It a fairly bright day and the sun is shining After studying the time of exposure by looking first at the view and then at it image on the ground glass, as alr d seribed, we conclude that with the sicp or diaphragm that we have used to get our plcture at its best five seconds about the correct time. Our lens bel closed, either by fplaclmx' the cap, on the projecting hood of the lens or by closing the shutter, we take hold of the slide the fingers of the right hand, placing t left upon the top of the camera over the slideholder in order to steady the camera, and draw out the slide completely. We must be very careful to draw it over rv»r-‘ nd fectly straight, for the reason that the of the holder through which the slid drawn is protected by a Spring or cus of black velvet extending the width of Slide.
