German Emperor the Guest of the English Governor. GIBRALTAR, March 31.—The steam- ehip Hamburg, with Emperor William on board, arrived at her moorings at € o‘clock this evening. As she entered the harbor the British Mediterranean ficet holsted the German ensign, the bluejackets manned ship and the war wessels fired a royal salute. This was followed oy a salute from the land bat- terfes. - The fleet and the land stations were dressed with bunting in_honor of the imperial wvisitor. The Governor, Field Marshal Sir George Stuart White, end his staff immediately went on board the Hamburg and welcomed his Majesty Owing to the lateness of his arrival Emperor Willlam decided to omit a drive through the town, as had been erranged for this afternoon. At 8 o'clock this evening, attircd in a Brit- ish field marshal's uniform, the Em- peror Janded and was received by Ma- | jor Agnes and the German Consul.

Gould has been stationed at Mare I and recently in the Government ser: ice. He graduated from the Univer- sity of California four years agd. His new post is regarded as an important and responsible office. The analysis of imported food prod- ucts coming into the port is in line with the Government’s policy of es- tablishing such laboratories in all ports, when practicable, to aid in the enforcement of the imported food:law. Dr.. Bigelow lectured for an hour be- fore the Agricultural Club im Berkéley yesterday explaining this law and . in- cidentally informing the club of the history of food aduiteration legislation. He said in part: NOT A MODERN EVIL. “Food adulteration is not a modern evil.. Wines were adulterated in the | Scientific methods for | detecting zdulterated products, how- ever, are of modern origin. Sixty years ago the first serious attempts were adulteration. England passed a law of this sort, then fGer- many, then France. In America we have had legislation, but often without being able to enforce it. There are now laws of this sort in twenty States. The Tederal Government is not able to in- | terfere in inspection of food products prepared and sold in a State, except in a few instances. “Politics often interfere with the en- forccment of food laws by State Food Commissioners.

The mixed flour bill, prepared at the request of American millers who saw their jealously guarded reputation in dgnger of destruction in European markets, through the mixing of corn fiour with the wheat, has done away with that evil. SUCCESS OF LAW. “The imported food law is strictly enforced, and it prevents the importa- tion of adulterated food products with marked success. The law was passed in 1903, becoming operative in July of that year., All American Consuls abroad are instructed to send to the Agricultural Department at home a copy of invoices of shipments that are being made to American ports. We are guided by these invoices, and able thus to keep account of what is coming in. Our agents secure samples, which are Mr. | SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1905. PRICE FIVE CENTS. The Police Commission- ers walked the carpet be- fore the Grand Jury last night. There were many things in the way of neglect to enforce the law that the board. was called on to explain. Much at- tention was given to the poolroom The i Grand Jury's demand that | the gambling places must matter. be closed was acceded to, and a vigorous campaign on the part of the Police Department, acting in co- operation with the inquis- itorial body, is to begin forthwith. The confer- | ence was conducted in a | spirit. of good nature, and the\ exciting proceedings looked for did | terialize. not ma- & B]ame Is Shifted to Judges in -Many Instances. Light Fines Nullify the Detectives’ Efforts. The Police Commissioners joined the Grand Jury fn a conference last night and were taken to account for the many instances of failure on the part of the department to enforce the law. They were ready with explanations, some having -~ ~it and others not, the Grand Jurors thought. The principal matter taken up was that of the pool- rooms, over a hundred of which have been allowed to do a flourishing busi- ness. The difficulties of making suc- cessful prosecution were set forth at length by the members of the board and Acting Chief Spillane, blame be- ing laid to the Police Judges, but the upshot of the discussion was that a vigorous campaign against the gam- bling resorts is now to be made by the | police, aided by the Grand Jury, which already has much evidence in its pos- session. The conference was held in - Judge Lawlor’s courtroom at the Hall of Jus- tice. The first inquiry made of - the Commission was concerning the case of Policeman McNamara, whose only punishment was a reprimand for allow- ing Mrs. Berlin to escape from him after he had arrested her in a place where pools were sold. She is a friend of Mayor Schmitz. The Commission- ers said that they had deemed the reprimand a sufficient penalty, not re- garding the policeman’s conduct as flagrant. MOONEY TAKES BLAME. The board disclaimed all responsibil- ity for the arrest of a member of the real estate firm with which Juror Bowes is connected for displaying “to Jet” signs. Captain Mooney takes all blame for this strange action, that bore the earmarks of spite work. “Policeman McMurray was taken from the Grand Jury assignment and Detective Braig detailed instead, be- cause it is the policy of the board to give the more competent men the easiest posts of duty,” was President Poheim’s strange explanation of the recent transfer. The Commissioners sald the Police Judges, by levying ridiculously small examined, and, if adulterated, are con- demned, after the importer has every chance to prove that a mistake has been made by us. “The results have been so satisfac- tory that many products, hitherto grossly adulterated now come into the country absolutely pure, among these being olive ofl, in which California is, of course, interested. I have to say, ! however, that while we are pretty cer- tain to keep out imported olive oil of doubtful purity, still there is being sold in this State much adulterated olive ofl, labeled as pure California olive ofl. We know that the producer is not re- sponsible for this adulteration. Who, then, is responsible? That is a ques- tion which it will be up to the State of California to answer.” 4 e . b 1 A SR PARIS, March 31.—The Civil Tribunal the American actress, against Frank Gardner, the American sportsman, in which the aetress claimed to be Gard- ner's wife. » fines, made it impossible to wage & successful campaign against the nu- merous places where liquoriis sold without a license. The board promised to notify the jury the next time such an offense is called to its attention, that some vigorous measures might be taken against the courts. Acting Chief Spillane informed the Grand Jury that two patrolmen were detalled to try to stop the sale of lot- tery tickets. The Commissioners again shunted blame to the Police Judges, who, they said, would never impose salutary fines on offenders. RESORT PROTECTED. The Grand Jury demanded an ac- ‘counting of the fact that Pratt & Tier- ney’s notorious deadfall was permitted to have piano playing and carousing crowds through the night. But there was no explanation of the immunity . {the disreputable_place seems to enjoy from the police. The board promised to instruct Captain Duke to bring the re- gort’s managers up with a round turn. The Grand Jury has collected evi- dence against many saloons where pools are sold, and President Poheim announced that if the proof was pre- sented to the board the liquor licenses would be revoked. Foreman Andrews will start the crusade at once. It was ~igor to stamp out the poolroom evil. Acting Chief ‘Spillane told at length what has been done by;the police.

NEW CHIEF YET NAMED. Polide Commission Adjourns Early to Consvlt With Grand Jury. The Police Commissioners did not name a new Chief of | Police last night, as was expectéed. The meeting of the Commissioners was a very brief one and the members went into session with the ‘members of the Grand Jury as®sgon as they ad- journed. g & 7 Alexander O!Grady, the newly ap- pointed Commissioner, was present and ready to be sworn in,.

Chief of Police Spilliane last night changed the Chinatown squad and the new men will take their »places at once. Sergeant Cook has been ill for some time and he asked Spilliane to shift him, which- the Chief consented to do. Corporal Ross Ferguson will have charge of the squad and a new detail of men will be under him. S SPILLANE’'S -AFFIDAVITS CONFUSE: CIGAR 'DEALERS Proof That Complalnants Sell Pools Results in Continmance of Sui(s for Injunctiors. : About’ a. dozen cigar store keepers appearedin.-Judge Seawell’'s depart- ment of the Superior Court yesterday to press their suits for perpetual In- junctions restraining the police from blockading their places ‘of business. They were met in each case, however. by affidavits filed by acting Chief Spillane, in which the affiants set forth that they have direct évidence to establish the contention of the po- lice that the plaintiff cigar dealers are engaged in pool selling. This unlooked for turn of affairs had the effect of somewhat embar- rassing the cigar dealers and their counsel, with the result that they asked for a continuance until Monday that they might more closely examine the affidavits and meet them with counter affidavits. Judge Seawel| granted the motion, but said that if the plaintiffs are not ready to pro- ceed on Monday the court will dis- solve the temporary restraining or- ders heretofore issued. This will per- mit the police to again take up their vigil in front of the stores of the com- plainants. BECOME CRAZED BY TRAVELING CHEYENNE, Wye, March 31.—S. Baker and wife, en route from Michi- gan to Azusa, Cal, were 'so affected by ‘the excitement of travel and the altitude yesterday between Sidney and Cheyenne that they became crazed, Baker's dementia taking a violent turn. With a large revoiver, he com- pelled all of the passengers in the coach in which he was traveling to move into other coaches-and fright- ened the trainmen so badly that they left him in possession of the coach. Finally about thirty miles east of Cheyenne, Bert Center of Idaho Falls, Ida., entered the car, informed Baker that he was an officer and demanded his weapon. Baker Surrendered with- out a struggle. 4 ‘When the train reached Cheyenne Baker and his wife were taken.to a hotel, where they remained last nigh under the eye of an officer. This morning both had regained their nor- mal faculties and were permitted to resume their journey. ~Although each is nearly 50 years o A G MA] A, e EW ORGAY OF TASTE - DISCOVERED WelcomesDrinksand Foods That Are Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, March 31.—A wonderful discovery has heen made by Professor J. T. Wilson of the University of Chi- cago. It is a new organ of taste, and the noted pedagogue calls it “taste bud.” It is to be found in the larynx, and all over the ccating of the passage through the neck. Experiments have proved that it-is just below the sug- face of the lining. 1it’is bud-shaped. Just what individual. fanction the new organ has Professor Wilson does | not know. He declares that it repels drinks and foods having a sour taste and ‘'welcomes those having a sweet taste. Anything sour or ill-tasting that goes down the throat makes the “taste bud” contract. This is commonly known as “lump-in-the-throat.” Strong drinks and strong food, the professor declares, are not welcomed by the “taste bud.” When a girl tastes d. sour pickles the new organ dislikes it very much. But when the girl eats a bonbon it's all right. It is the same way with man. adds the discoverer. When a man drinks something sweet, for in- stance an icecream soda, it is all right, but when he drinks something sour, then it rebels. Under such treatment the “taste bud” becomes excited and swells up. Scientists consider Professor Wilson's discovery of the new organ of wonder- ful value to mankind.
