A committee was appointed to frame a plan and this committee reported yesterday. W. H. | Roussel presided. | A long discussion took place. Some of | the dairy produce dealers were in favor | of voting at once upon the adoption of the report. Others, in view of the fact that several wholesale houses were not represented at the meeting, suggested de- It was finally voted that a copy of the report should be sent at once to every commission house in the city that deals in dairy produce and that means | should be taken to ascertain the senti- | | ment of every concern. Some dealers | | said that unless the movement was unan- | imous, it would fail. Otners favored ac- tion it 75 per cent of the trade approved of the report.

Ragan arrived at the office at 8:30 a. m. and discovered that some of the employes had not made their ap- pearance. He immediately formulated rules providing that when an employe is late by thirty minutes he will be fined one Way’'s pay. If the tardiness occurs three days in succession the de- linquent employe will be suspended for a month without pay.

Col- lins, attorney, accused of bigamy for marrying Clarice McCurdy in Chicago, when he had a wife here, be proceeded with this morning. Collins made another appearance in court yesterday. The alleged bigamist was without coumsel and he asked Judge Lennon for time in which to secure ex- Governor James H. Budd, who is in Ne- vada trying a mining case. When as- sured that all the continuances that could reasonably be granted him had been al- lowed, he suggested the names of Charles D. Heggerty and D. M. Delmas. Heg- gerty declined, saying he was not a criminal lawyer, and the court dould not be assured that Delmas was at present within its jurisdiction. Judge Lennon finally appointed Thomas O'Connor. Argument on points raised by Collins and O’Connor took so much time that no jurors were secured. The court an- nounced that it would enforce the actual beginning of the trial at 10 o'clock this morning and ordered jurymen and wit- nesses to be present at that hour. Collins’ appearance was a strong point in favor of a motion he made for a con- tinuance on the ground of physical in- disposition. His face was pale and drawn. Charlotte Newman-Collins was ready to give her testimony and the many other witnesses who have so far been secured in the case were present. At one point of the proceedings Judge Lennon rebuked District Attorney Bying- | ton. Collins was mourning the absence | of Governor Budd from the city and beg- ging for a continuance of two weeks when the District Attorney exclaimed: “If your Honor please, cbunsel for the defense has already been granted too | many privilege: Judge Lennon ex- pressed himself as indignant that an as-‘ sertion accusing the’ court of favorlng‘ the defendant should be made and said in substance that the court would use | its own discretion as to when Collins was overstepping legal bounds The court was obviously irritated, how- | ever, by the tedious methods of gaining | | time which the defendant employed dur- |ing the afternoon—mostly arguments | | against the legality of the Grand Jury. | | Judge Lennon denfed his application for habeas corpus. | “Colline wanted the indictment for | bigamy quashed because he declared it unconstiutional in regard to number, quoting the code of civil procedure as evidence. To-day the prosecution will endeavor to impanel the jury, notwithstanding the objections of the defendant. STRONG ACCUSATION MADE AGAINST UNION Employer Tells of Difficulties With the Cooks and Waiters. et Suit was filed yesterday by E. J. Crawford, who keeps a restaurant at' 1329 Market street, to enjoin the Cooks’ and Waiters’ Union from interfering with his business. Crawford alleges that at a recent date a committee of the union called at his place of business and told hll_'n that he would have to discharge his cook, who was behind in his dues as a member of the union. Crawford says he oftered to pay the dues, but the union men were obdurate and refused to rea- son with him, demanding that the cook be discharged. Crawford says that he refused to comply with the demand and then the committee informed him that he would have to discharge a non-union waiter in his employ. Instead of discharging the waiter, Crawford continues, he instruct- ed him to join the union. The waiter tried to join, but the officials of the union told him that there were enough waiters algeady in San Francisco and that he could not become a member. Then, continues Crawford, in his complaint, the committee again waited on him, presented three ‘“closed shop” agreements for him to sign and an- nounced that if he did not sign them and discharge the cook and waiter com- plained of within five minutes a boycott against his place would be declared. Crawford says that he refused to sign the papers and within twenty minutes sandwich men and pickets were march- ing up and down in front of his place crying out that it was unfair and em- ployed scab labor. The contempt proceedings against the Labor Council and allied unions of brewery workers, instituted by the Se- attle Malting and Brewing Company, was submitted yesterday for decision by Judge Murasky. Town Talk. The Saunterer tells this week of the rumored engagement of a rich and at- tractive widow, and gives the usual supply of inside social and political gossip. He also tells some interesting Taft anecdotes and discusses our visit. ing celebrities in a sprightly vein. Some of the most amusing paragraphs are de- voted to a criticism of an opinion writ- ten by one of the Judges of the new Court of Appeals, who has a penchant for “fine writing” There are several special articles of interest to the cul- tured. The short story this week is by Harry Cowell and is a remarkably virile Pplece of fiction. ‘With Impure Drinking Water USE HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE Destroys the germs of typhoid and other fevers.

Talbot makes the charge that his wife, Annie D. Tal- bot, who is suing him for separate maintenance, is not a fit and proper per- son to have the custody and control of their children. This allegation is made in an affidavit filed yesterday by Tal- bot in support of a motion to modify | the injunction granted upon the fillng of Mrs. Talbot's suit restraining her husband from disposing of his property or interfering with the children in any | way. | The report that the Talbot litigation | would be settled out of court is thus disposed of, all indications now point- | ing to protracted and bitter litigation. The motion for the modification of the restrainiug order is Talbot's first ap- | pearance in the suit and is the natural | sequence of the chagrin that was his | when the court called upon him to fur- | nish a $20,000 bond before granting him | permission to take his little sons out | for a good time on the Fourth. The court, says Talbot, through his | attorneys, Jordan & Brann, has no right | to limit the care and custody of the mi- nor children of the parties herein to the | plaintiff, especially as the plaintiff is not a fit and proper person to have | their custody. Furthermore, it is set forth, the court is without jurisdiction | to make such an order, nor has the court jurisdiction to restrain the de- fendant from handling his separate property as he sees fit, the community property of the parties herein being sufficient to meet any demands the | plaintiff may make. | The order to show cause will be| heard by Judge Murasky this morning. | | FATHER IS BLINDED, | MOTHER GOES INSANE Overwork and Worry of Self- Sacrificing Woman Un- balances Her Mind. Overwork and worry, caused by a4 desperate struggle to support a blind | husband and three young children, | brought Mrs. Delia Sheehan to the de tention ward at the Central Emergency | Hospital yesterday, her mind totally | unbalanced. Her two little girls, aged | 11 and 9 years, and her helpless hus- | band accompanied her. One of the chil- | dren led the blind father; the other | clung tightly to hér mother's skirts and shrieked with grief when the insane | woman was locked In a cell. | Jeremiah Sheehan, the father, was working as a carpenter until an acci- dent blinded him permanently three years ago. The mother was forced to work to support the helpless family. Not being a strong woman, the task was more than she could stand. Her mind began to fall and when she was dlone she gave way to despair entirely, | though she kept up an assumption of cheerfulness, somehow before her hus- band and children. With the help of her brother, Timothy Hayes, she managed to keep the family | alive. But a few days ago the unfor- tunate woman’s mind gave way alto- | gether. She will be committed to a| State asylum. The two little girls, El- | len and May, were taken in charge by | Miss Garrity, probation officer of the | Detention Home. —_——— BOARD APPOINTS TEACHERS ON THE SUBSTITUTE LIST | Parents Say John W.

B. Clute to furnish teams to the city at §4 63 each. Commissioner Aigeltinger stated i yesterday that he would refuse to| sign any demands for teaming at the old rate of $6. He holds that even if the contract is irregular because It was awarded by the Supervisors In- stead of by the Works Board the fact that the city will effect a large saving was sufficlent justification to approve the contract. HIis colleagues are ob- durate, however, and the dispute i3 far from being settled. The City Street Improvement Com- pany and J. G. Harney yesterday fur- nished the necessary teams for the | carting away of the street sweepings so work in that connection was not stopped.

Relchenberg, wife of the well- known jeweler of #146 Fulton St., New York, says: “I had a friend who was justly proud of her complexion. When asked what gave her such a brilllant and lovely complexion, she replied, ‘A healthy woman can be sure of a fine skin if she will do as I do, use plenty of Cuticura Soap and water.’ She i that I follow her example, which I did with speedy conviction.
