T ON BUTTER NOT INCREASED Decision Rendered on the Use of Preserva- tives, Commissioner Yerkes Will Permit Application of Boron. large drill and assembly halls, for several companie: gym- | id reading-rooms.

In | the letter on the subject sent {0 persons interested Yerkes says: “The claim is made and abundantly | supported that the preservative is not used in butter for the purpose of deo- dorizing or removing existing rancidity. Boracic acid and most of the boron pre- servatives do ossess the quality ¥ ssary to deodorization or to the re- moval of rancidity. The use of borax might have the effect if used in sufficient quantities of removing rancidity, but such effect would be either absolutely absent or extrcmely small when borax is used in the small quantities necessary for pre- rvative purposes alone. ““Further, the preservative is used when the butter is fresh and free from rancidity or unpleasant odor. Even renovated but- ter as now generally made is deodorized and has rancidity relieved by proce: requiring no chemicals, so that if or other preservatives are used they ¢ not have the effect of deodorizing or re- moving rancidity, as this condition does not exist when the preservative is used. Where, therefore, boron preservative or similar preservatives are used in butter in extremely small quantities, the sole use being for the purpose and with the effect of preventing or postponing usual and natural changes in butter, it is held that the product will not be liable or subject to tax as adulterated butter. The quan- tity used must not be more than neces- sary for purposes of preservation. If added in larger quantities or when used as a bath or wash in the working or ren- ovation of butter the product will be held liable to the higher rate of tax.” CROPS IN THE WEST | IN FAVORABLE CONDITION North Pacific Coast States Need Rain, but Are Not Seriously Suffering. | WASHINGTON, Sept. 16—The weekly | crop summary says: The week ending September 15 was unusually cool through- out all districts east of the Rocky Moun- tains, more particularly in the lake re- glon, central valleys and Gulf States, with a general absence of rain or only light precipitation in the greater part of the area west of the Mississippi River. More or less damage from frosts occurred throughout the Northwest, central | leys and lake region and as far south as | Arkansas and the northern portions of | Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama. The North Pacific Coast States continue to need rain, but in other respects condi- tions on the Pacific Coast were favor- able. Late corn has been seriously dam- aged by heavy frosts over the northern portion of the corn belt. Much corn has been cut over the southern portion of the corn belt, where a fine crop is assured. The weather conditions have been fa- forable for threshing spring wheat throughout the principal wheat States, except in North Dakota, where high winds have interrupted this work to some extent. Cotton-picking has progressed rapidly throughout the cotton belt, and, as a rule, under favorable conditions. Over the southern portion the bulk of the crop has been gathered, and in some sections many fields are already aban- doned. Some Improvement in the condi- tion of apples is reported from Ohio and Tllinois. A good crop is promised in Mich- igan, Wisconsin, Missouri and portions of Kapsas, but in Indiana and generally throughout the Middle Atlantic States a very light yield is indicated. In New York and New England apples have been { injured by high winds. Held Up by Masked Footpads. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—Joseph D. Long, an attorney, was robbed within a few yards of his front gate to-night by {two men. He was relieved of all the money he had, the robbers refusing to | take a fine watch. Long had been work- ing late and left his house to mail a let- ter at a_mail box less than 100 yards | away. While returning two men rode up | on bicycles and one of them covered him with a_revolver while the other searched | him. Both men were masked and he I could give no description of them. val- | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1902. LAGK OF BUTTER IN'THE MARKET Figures Are Given at the State Dairymen’s Convention. California’s Production Not Sufficient for Home Consumption. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 16—The ninth annual convention of the State Dairy- men's Association opened in the Senate Chamber of the State Capitol to-day, | and while the attendance was not quite! up to expectations, much interest was | manifested and many helpful suggestions | offered by the various essayists and! speakers. To-morrow’s session will be of | especial interest to creamery men, who are numerous in Northern California. One of the leading features of the ses- | sion to-day was the address of Superior Judge Peter J. Shields of Sacramento, president of the association, who has de- voted many years to the advancement of | { the dairy interests and the breeding of fine steck. Judge Shields said in part: Notwithstanding the fact that the dairy con- ditions :m this State are unequaled, we still fail to manufacture sufficient butter for home consumption and fall far short of manufactur- ing sufficlent cheese for that purpose. It has | been a matter of frequent reference in the public press that oleomargarine was being used in some of our Federal institutions and that in one instance a very large butter con- tract for the use of naval vessels outfitted at Mare Island was awarded to a Kansas | creamery. The organized dairymen of Cali- fornia should take action to see that nothing! but honest dairy products are used within in- | | stitutions located in this State, whether Fed- | | eral, State or county. We should also take | actitn to see that government vessels being | supplied at harbors located within this State should purchase their dairy supplies from the dairy farmers of California. In a paper on “The Care of Milk for | City Supply,” Dr. W. N. Sherman of Fresno urged that all vessels for holdin, milk be sterilized, and that milk shoul be strained through a cloth as soon as drawn. President Shields said the public was finicky about milk. People bought salads that had been exposed in shops to all sorts of germs and ate them without thought of disease yvet they were often unnecessarily timorous regarding milk. To-day's session concluded with papers on the following subjects: “Feeding of the Dairy Cow,” Thomas J. Stephenson, ; Courtland; ‘Lessons From Pan-Ameri- can Tests,” P, H. Davis, San Anselmo; “Breeding Cattle for Dairying,’’ Leroy Anderson, Berkeley; “Care of Farm Separators,” M. F. Lyon, Alameda. [ ATLANTIC LINER BEATS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS Kronprinz Wilhelm Makes Ocean Voyage in Faster Time Than the, Deutschland. NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—The North German Lloyd steamer Kronprinz Wil- helm arrived in port to-day from Bremen, Southampton and Cherbourg, beating all | western records.

Cummins with regard to the legality of the recent filing of in- corporation papers of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company with the Secretary of State. The Governor re- fuses to make public the contents_ of t opinion for the reason that he desires fo have a statement from himself accom- rany it when it is made public.

PROVO, Utah, Sept. 16.—The Demo- cratic State Convention to-day nominated Judge W. H. King of Salt Lake fer Con- gress; Major Richard W. Young, formerly of the Supreme bench in the Philippines, for Justice of the Supreme Court, and adopted a platform in which trusts and beet sugar were prominent features. The platform also extends the sympathy of the Democratic party of Utah to Mrs. McKinley. No reference was made in the platform either to W. J. Bryan or 16 to 1, but the Kansas City platform was in- dorsed, and the cheering which greeted Bryan’s name when mentioned by Chalir- man Powers showed the feelings of the toward him. The convention regards contests _was _absolute- ly devold of fedtures. Both nominations were made by acclamation and the plat- form as presented was adopted without amendment and amid much enthusiasm. A resolution offered by a Jalt Lake dele- gate requesting the State Central Com- mittee to arrange, if possible, a series of debates during the campaign between United States Senators Rawlins and Kearns, was carried with applause and it is stated that the challenge will be issued in behalf of the senior Senator. Former United States Senator Frank J. Cannon, who was selected as permanent chairman of the convention, bitterly de- nounced the Republican party for its alleged. friendship to trusts and what he termed its tacit approval of the ‘‘murder of innocents” in the Philippines. The platform adopted holds that the constitution follows the flag and that where the constitution doé¥ not hold, the flag shall not remain. It inslsts that the Fiiipinos shall be given free government under American protection and denounces the Philippine policy of the Government. It opposes militarism, favoring a small standing army and a well organized militia. The platform denounces at length the policy of the Republican party. for protecting reflned sugar, while favoring a radical reduction in the duty on raw sugar. It demands a readjustment of the present tariff by which all goods and products competing with trust-made articles be admitted free of duty. It op- Po!es pauper labor and demands a strict immigration law. It announces its belief in the right of labor to organize and advo- cates the adjudication of differences be- tween capital and labor by a non-partisan board, whose decisions shall be enforced by the Government. The Kapsas City platform is indorsed. It beclares belief in the ‘quantative theory of money’ and denounces the Fowler banking bill. It favors an exten- sive irrigation sy§tem and the election of TUnited States Senators by direct vote of the people is indorsed. The remainder of the platform is devoted to State issues. A big rally was held at the operz-house this evening, at which Senator Rawlins was the principal speaker. Craig-Crothers Wedding. SAN JOSE, Sept. 16.—Miss Theresa Crothers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Crothers of this city, was married at noon to-day to Robert J. Craig of Spring- field, Mass. The wedding occurred in the family home at the corner of Seventh and Reed streets, and was attended by many friends of the young couple. Miss Mary Crothers, a sister, was bridesmaid, and ~ Bradford Crittenden was the best man. Rev. Dr. McClish, assisted by Rev. Mr. Brown_ performed the ceremony. An elaborate wedding breakfast followed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Craig will spend a short honeymoon in San Fran- cisco, after which they will leave for Springfield. The groom is a graduate of the Northwestern University and will take up the practice of law. Mrs. Craig is a very popular young lady, accom- lished and pretty.

There was keen interest in the contest in the Ninth Assembly District, where William S. Devery, ex-Deputy Commissioner Police, had for weeks conducted a pic- turesque campaign as a candidate for the Tammany leadership, as Frank S. Goodwin, Tammany leader, and John C. Sheehan, leader of the Greater | New York Democracy. At 11 o'clock to-night Louis Munzinger conceded the election of Devery. An un- official table shows that the vote cast in the Ninth District (with one district ap- proximated) is: Devery, 1684; Goodwin, 729; Sheehan, 1318. After Devery learned that he was elect- ed he organized about 2000 men and boys into a parade and, headed by the “Big Chief” marched through the district amid the shouts and applause of the people who lined the streets, stoops and windows. Devery carried his hat in his hand and bowed to the people continually. The parade lasted for half an hour, for it was frequently interrupted by groups of women and children who broke through the crowds to shake Devery’s hand. In the Twenty-ninth district John F. Carroll ran far ahead of his opponent, Thomas K. Rush, the Murphy candidat In the Twenty-sixth district former She: iff Thomas J. Dunn had an easy victory | over his opponents while in the First it appeared at a late hour that “Dan” Finn had won in his fight for the leadership against former Police Commissioner Michael C. Murphy. Borough President Haffen of the Bronx ran far ahead of his opponent. John B. Sexton in the Nineteenth won without great trouble over Joseph F. Kahoe, while ex-Street Cleaning Commissioner Nagle was _re-elected in the Thirty-fourth. George F. Scannell retains his leadership in the Tammany Hall orggnization of the Twenty-fifth Assembly District. Among the Republicans there were few ecntests, and all were of a more or less mild rature. Abraham Gruber in the Twenty-first, John Stebling in the Twelfth and, Dock Commissioner Hawes in the Twenty-fifth were all successful against their opponents. Lemuel E. Quigg won in the Nineteenth District for the Repub- licans over Moses G. Byers. In Brooklyn the regular Republican ticket in the Sev- enteenth District won over that favored by Walter B. Atterbury. The regular Democratic ticket won in all districts but one. MINERS ON THE YUKON WILL GET THEIR PAY Claims for Wages Hereafter to Form a Lien on Mines and Out- puts. TACOMA, Sept. 16.—The Yukon Coun- cil has just enacted some of the most im- pertant legislation in its history., For four years miners in the Klondike dis- trict have been urging the passage of a law giving them liens on claims and their output for wages due. An ordinance to this effect is now enacted. The miners have lost thousands of dollars in working for lay men because they had no legal way of enforcing payments. Hereafter claims for wages will form a lien upon a claim and its gold output, taking prece- dence_ over everything except mortgages recorded prior to the passage of the law. An appropriation of $1000 was made to aid in sinking a shaft on EI Dorado Creek to deep bedrock. The shaft is now down 200 feet and has passed four bed- rocks, all rich in gold. Another and still richer bedrock is expected lower down. The Government has agreed to build at Dawson a two-stamp quartz mill, which shall be operpted free for miners for two months and thereafter at rhinimum charges. The Joseph Ladue Company has ordered mlchlnur{ for a 100-stamp mill to be bullt at the Lepine quartz mine, fifteen miles from Dawson. It will cost -$250,000. of | against | and a fife and drum corps, they | { named represented the independent oper- NO GONGESSION, AT AUCTION! oAY OPERATORS| Referee’s Sale, THURSDAY . . .

There Is just one way to end the strike—by the men returning to work, and every day they remain away by giving willing ear to Mitchell's specious promises will only entail further loss and suffering to them.

Gompers said the strike situation was dis- cussed in all its phases; the finances were found to be in a good condition; the relief funds were coming in promptly and there ‘was no reason why the strike should not continue without inflicting any hardship on the strikers.
