COMPETITION IN CIGARS
The California Product Versus
the Imported Eastern
JArticle.
DEALERS AIR THEIR VIEWS.
Home-Made Cigars Would Bo Pre
ferred If a Demand Were
Created for Them.
The Cigar-makers' Union of Fan Fran
cisco is endeavoring to obtain reliable in
formation as to the comparative standing
and merits of Eastern and home produced
cigars. To that end two members of the
agitation committee— Messrs. Burns and
Kelly— made a tour of investigation among
the jobbers, manufacturers and retailers of
this City on Monday.
The first cigar-store visited was that of
W. H. Harrison, on Powell street, near
Market. He stated that he had no objec
tion to selling home-produced cigars, pro
vided they were of such quality as to cre
ate a demand.
M. C. Haley, ex-County Clerk, -who has
a cigar-store on Market street, noar Powell,
said that if the material could be obtained
he was always in favor of selling the Cali
fornia manufactured article. "There can
be no doubt." Mr. Haley said, "that if you
get the material and "good workmanship
the demand for home goods will increase."
W. A. Oliver, another Market-street man,
was a tirm believer in home industry. He
did not profess to be acquainted with trie
cisrar trade, but supported the movement
on general principles. He keeps San Fran
cisco made cigars in stock. »
The jmanager of the Cafe Royal cigar
store waxed eloquent about the bad qual
ity of cigars made here. He said the per
sunal desires of the storekeepers have
BOthins to do with the question. Let the
demand but be created. It was the Cali
fornia man's own fault that he had been
driven out of the market. The customer
is quick to perceive what is a good cigar
and what is not. He Said he would be
content to sell California -cigars when he
could trade as favorably with them as with
the Eastern product.J
A partner in the tirm of Miehalitsehke
Bros. & Co.. on Bush and Kearny sti
had much to tay of interest to cigar men.
Asked as to thequality of California labor,
he said that the workman does as well in
his trade hero as anywhere else. The
workmen here, he thought, asked too
much. Every new factory opened would
add to the State's wealth. Just as cood
stock can be obtained here as in New
York, but the fault is that the California
manufacturer cannot compete with East
ern labor. "While he keeps home-produced
cigars there is very little demand for
them.
Mr. Michalitschke suggested that a big
factory be established and largely adver
tised. He also advocated the apprentice
system which exists in Europe, as, under
present conditions, it does not pay the
manufacturer to train up workmen.
M. Blaskower, a Montgomery-street
dealer, said: '"I am in favor of home
products every vine."
"Do you believe that a?, good cigars can
be put up here as in the East?" was asked.
"I don't see why not," said Mr. Blas
kower.
In further conversation this jobber stated
that all cigars handled by him were strictly
union made. He had not had a demand
for a California made cigar in a long time.
He ascribed this to the original feeling of
prejudice against Chinese labor. Califor
nia might in time be made one of the great
cigar centers of the United States, pro
vided the proper material and skilled labor
were used.
James Crouch, Montgomery street,
makes and handles his own cigars. He
was pleased to notice an increasing de
mand for California manufactured cigars.
He experiences no trouble whatever in dis
posing of his goods.
Friedlander & Kaesar, another manufac
turing firm, find a good demand arising
for the home article. "Of course," said
Mr. Friedlander, "the advertised article
always has the advantage. There ought
to be a big factory erected with 100 or 200
hands. Advertise it well, and I believe a
really large business could be done."
Charles Harris of Montgomery street,
puts into practice his views on home-made
cigars. His sign reads "Support home in
dustries," and he handles cigars made by
himself.
Said Mr. Harri«, "A good demand ap
pears to have sprung up for California
made cigars lately) particularly in the last
three weeks. What 1 want to say is that
the same inducements are not offered to the
San Francisco man as to the New Yorker.
That talk about climatic conditions is all
bosh. There are, however, certain grades
of fine Havana tobacco which never reach
San Francisco, as there is no demand. Big
European consumers get their line-grade
cigars direct from Havana. Skilled labor
is as easy to get here as anywhere.
The factory of E. Schwerin & Sons at 42
Market street was next visited. In reply
to the usual queries. Mr. Schwerin eaia :
"I do not think advertising would do ban
Francisco firms much good. They all
seem to want Eastern cigars here, and
imagine that a home-made cigar cannot
be good, just from the fact that it is home
made."
"What do you think is in the way of
San Francisco becoming a great cigar
center?" was asked.
"I see nothing in the way exceDt the
prejudices of "consumers" answered Mr.
Schwerin.
The Pacific Coast Co-operative Cigar
Manufacturing Company, represented by
its secretary, Henry Knobel, was enthus
iastic regarding the merits of cigars made
in San Francisco. Mr. Knobel said that
many of the retailers in this City are not
competent judges of the relative merits of
the Eastern and California product. He
corroborated the statement made that
dealers here are expected to turn out a
better cigar for less money than the East
ern producer
T. Frahm of Frahm & Frankenburg, 41S
Battery street, thought much as the other
large manufacturers did, He said: "Just
as clever cigar-makers can be found here
as anywhere. "We often open up an East
ern cigar and rind it filled with the com
monest rubbish."
Julius Umhalt of the San Francisco
Cigar Company said: "Easterners get a
better price for their cigars, and we have
to spend money to hold up our trade. It
is a matter of prejudice. "We can buy as
fine tobacco in San Francisco as anywhere
else, if there is only a demand for it."
Investigations were continued yesterday,
the rounds being made among saloon men
and a few of the manufacturers.
A partner in the firm of Plagemann &
Co., Sansome street, Baid that he. did not
care to be interviewed on. the matter at all,
as it might injure his business. He
thought that as good cigars could not be
made here as in the East. Eastern goods
are handled by Ins firm.
Schlaberg Bros., manufacturers, of 629
Washington street found that preference is
given to Eastern goods, even if prices are
the same.
P. Leonhardt, cigar manufacturer, Polk
street, near California, said that he made
his own cigars apd sold them exclusively,
and there appears to be a demand for
them. He tinds no call for cigars made in
the East.
Marshall & Nye, who own a saloon at
1212 Polk street, said that there was really
no difference in the qualities of home
made cigars and those made elsewhere.
Prices are the same io either case.
Fred Homer, manufacturer, 431 Bush
street, found that the consumer and re
tailer both demand a better domestic cigar
for less money than the Eastern made.
E. A. Fischer of the Oberon saloon,
OTarrell street, expressed himself as in
favor of the home product. Me does a
good business in California cigars, and
only keeps such Eastern cigars as his cus
tomers particularly want. Mr. Fischer in
dorsed the home industry movement, and
said that if all saloon men sold only the ar
ticle made here, at least 5000 more cigar
makers could be put to work.
John Baader, another saloon man on
Fourth street, takes every opportunity to
push home-made goods, particularly in the
cheaper grades. He handles very few
New York cigars. "The remedy for the
existing state of things lies with the con
sumer, said Mr. Baader. ''who can, if he
wants it, obtain a good home-made cigar
for the same price as the imported New
York article."
S. A. Gordon, salesman with Schoenfeld
& Co., said : "It is an established fact that
farmers in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin get the best prices for their leaf
from California merchants, who also im
port the finest tobacco grown in Cuba.
Most of the New York cigars are composed
of what is known as Zinimer and Little
Dutch fillers. They are made in tenement
houses of the worst kind, which reek with
filth. The domestic cigar, however, is
always worked up in a clean factory.
Fred Gibson of Messrs. Gibson & Cook,
saloon, Market street, was enthusiastic
over the merits of the home article. He
believes firmly in patronizing home indus
try, and backs up his opinions by carrying
a stock of 30,000 home union manufactured
cigar*.
The last firm visited — Messrs. Gebhardt
<fc Graner, Market street — said that they
only handled one brand of Eastern cigars,
for which there is some demand. The bal
ance of the stock carried is home-made.
Messrs. Burns & Kelly propose to con
tinue their inquiries further. The State
Blue Label League, which they represent,
will carry the agitation intothe interior
of the State. The committee is employed
by Union 228. As soon as the constitution
of the Blue Label League is adopted opera
tions will be commenced throughout the
State.
TOR FORGING CHECKS.
D. A. I'rquhart, a Directory Canvasser,
Arrested in Stockton.
D. A. Urquhart was arrested in Stockton
yesterday morning at the request of Chief
Crowley. Urquhart, with two other men,
had been canvassing Stockton for a direc
tory. He is charged with forging the
name of Frank Frisbee of Frisbee & Ris
don, accountants, 132 Market street, to
nine checks on the Hank of California for
sums varying: from $15 to $.">0 and aggre
gating over |i'oo. These checks he gave to
storekeepers in Stockton. They were sent
to the Bank of California for collection and
paid.
When Fri«bee discovered the forgeries he
wrote to B. O. Kinsey, a friend in Stockton,
anil ascertained that Urquhart, who had
indorsed the checks, was a guest at the
(irand Central Hotel. He swore out a
warrant yesterday morning for Crqnhart's
arrest on the charge of forgtffy and Detec
tive Seymour left last night to bring him
here." "
COLONEL BUSH ELECTED
The First Regiment Held Its
Regular Election Last
Night.
Spirited Contest Between Friends
of Colonels Bush and
Sullivan.
The election of colonel of the First Regi
ment of Infantry, N. G. C, last night re
sulted in the election of Colonel Bush by a
vote of fourteen against eleven, which
were cast for Colonel Sullivan, who had
been it command. Colonel Bush has been
a member of the First Regiment for
twenty-six years. He was elected lieuten-

ant of Company A in 1871 and in 1872 was
promoted to captain of that company,
which commission he retained until 1891,
when he was elected lieutenant-colonel,
which position he held until last night,
George R. Burdick being promoted to that
office, which was vacated by Colonel Bush's
election to the higher position.
Colonel Bush was a member of the
United States Sanitary Commission dur
ing the war and in 1868 was appointed an
honorary member of the Eighth New York
Regiment. He is at present chief book
keeper of the United States Mint in this
City, a position wnich he has filled for
eleven years.
It was stated last night by one of the
Colonel W. P. Sullivan Jr.
[From a photograph.]
members of Company A that the reason
Colonel Sullivan was not re-elected was
based on his attitude in Sacramento at
the time of the strike.
There was much dissatisfaction ex
pressed among the members of Company
A concerning Colonel Bush's election and
it was said by a number of the company
that they would refuse to drill under him.
What Do Yon Know of Poor Bitumen?
The Merchants' Association desires to secure
information regarding the present condition
of all the streets in this city which are pared
with bituminous rock, and for that reason
would like to hear from all citizens who know
of any streets paved with such material which
are in poor repair. This information is wanted
before the Ist of June. All communications
should be addressed to Ernest McCullough
consulting engineer of the Merchants' Associa
tion, 120 Butter street.
An authority states in a medical journal
that the height of a very tall British
woman was fifty years ago live feet seven,

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1895.
PETER BURNETT IS DYING
He Was the First Governor of
the State of Cali
fornia.
CAME WITH THE PIONEERS.
Father of Mrs. William T. Wallace.
Record of One Who Made
History.
Peter 11. Burnett, the first Governor of
the State of California, is dying at his resi
dence, 1713 Larkin street. No hope is en
tertained for his recover}', as he has long
since passed the three score year and ten
mark, and though a man of wonderful con
stitution, his death is momentarily ex
pected.
Dr. Neumann, the family physician, can
hold out no hope, as the advanced age of
the'patient, S7 years, can hardly sustain the
result of the sickness.
Ex-Governor Burnett was born in Nash
ville, Term., November 15, 1807. In his
youth Mr. Burnett was a trader and lawyer
in Tennessee. By the overland route he
reached Oregon in 184:3 and became identi
fied with the interests of the Pacific Coast.
When the Territorial government was
organized in Oregon, he took a prominent
part and became a member of the Legisla-
EX-GOVERNOR PETER H. BURNETT.
[From a recent photograph.]
ture of 1844 and 1848, and was transferred
to the Supreme bench immediately after
ward.
Before the great days of '49, Governor
Burnett was attracted to California by the
gold excitement, and took active interest
in the formation of the State government.
He opposed the military jurisdiction of the
National Government over the Bear State,
and by his action became a prominent
figure in politics.
He was elected Governor of the State be
fore it was admitted to the Union, and was
recognized by Congress when admission
was granted in 1850. In 1851 he resigned
as Governor to take up the practice of law,
and in 1*57 became one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court.
In 18y3 he became president of the Pa
cific BanK and held the position until 1880.
In ISW he published a^work entitled ''The
Path Which Led a Protestant Lawyer to
the Catholic Church." Several other works
emanated from his pen, among which was
"The Recollections of an Old Pioneer," a
work which contained many valuable his
toric statistics of the early' days of Cali
fornia.
Mrs. Judge Wallace ia a daughter of the
ex-Goverrar. as is Mrs. B. T. Ryland of
San Jose.^Tlie family are around the bed
side of the old pioneer, awaiting the end,
which is tho\ight to be close at hand.
WILL RESIST THE ORDER
Gas and Electric Light Com
panies Protest Against
Darkness.
Legality of the Supervisors' Action,
Ordering Out Lights, Is
Questioned.
The corporations that are furnishing the
City with light do not propose to sit idly
by and submit to shutting off their gas
and electricity without a murmur. They
seriously question the right of the Board of
Supervisors to compe 1 them to break the
existing contracts.
The order of the board to shut off all
street lights from the present time to the
end of the fiscal year provoked considerable
discussion amone the officers of the San
Francisco Gas Company and the Edison
Electric Light and Power Company. The
sentiment was to resist the order and
definite action will be taken when the
officers hold their meeting this week.
J. B. Crockett, president of the gas com
pany, said:
There will be a meeting of the board el di
rectors of this company to-morrow and then
wo will determine what we will do. This mat
ter has a broader scope than simply obeying
this order of the Supervisors to shut off" the
street lights for the next six weeks. We are
furnishing gas to the City f< ° illuminating pur
poses under a contract which will not expire
until the fall of 1896. This contract provides
that we must furnish light betweru certain
specified hours of the day. More than that, we
are under $35,000 bonds to do so,, and Adam
Grant and Levi Strauss are the sureties.
Now, the question is, Can the Supervisors
compel us to break our contract while there is
money in the street light fund in the treasury?
And, further, Can they legally divert the
money in the street light fund to any other
purpose. At the end of the fiscal year, if there
is any money left in this fund it can be turned
Into the general fund. There is some doubt in
our minds if this can be done before the end
of the fiscal year at the cost of leaving the City
in darkness for a month or two.
Suppose, for instance, that the gas company
.should find a use for its gas more profitable to
us than furnishing it to the City and we should
break our contract by declining to furnish gas
under the contract. Damage suits would be
instituted within twenty-four hours and our
securities would have to stand the damages.
Now, the City's obligation to us under our con
tract is as great as ours to the City, and while
there is money in the street light fund we can
not see how the Supervisors can legally break
the written and secured agreement. If there
was no money in this special fund and we con
tinued to light the streets we would be taking
onr ehauces on berngr paid, for the Supreme
Court has held that we are supposed to have
full knowledge of ;the condition of the treas
ury. There is another feature in connection
with this case.
If we obey fthe mandate of the Supervisors
and turn off the gas for tne next six weeks we
may be sued by some citizen for not living up
to bur contract, and if it should be decided
that the action of the Supervisors in making
this order is illegal we might have to stand the
damages.
In cases where for a lew nights the lights
were shut off to save money, as it was recently,
it did not make much difference, because there
was a full moon then. But to leave the City in
darkness for nearly two months with $40,000
or ifoO.OOO in the street licht fund is ft more
serious question, especially where damage
suits might arise and the legality of the Super
visors' action be questioned. We will hold a
meeting of the directors to-morrow and decide
upon some course.
The Edison Electric Light and Power
Company is equally interested in the same
matter, as their contract to furnish the
City with light is as ironclad as that
which binds the gas company. Their con
tract will not expire for over a year and
the obligations are as specific as to the
number of hours and days that light must
be furnished. The executive committee of
the board of directors has discussed the
situation informally and they have agreed
to do all in their power to make the City
live up to the contract. Assistant Secre
tary Angus said :
If the Supervisors will not change their
decision in this matter we will have to do as
they direct, because their will is supreme 1
presume, and as to our being liable on bonds
ior not lurnishing light I am not prepared to
speak. If we are sued for damages we will look
to the Supervisors to stand between us and
harm for obeying their orders. Exactly what
course this company will take will be deter
mined ou Thursday.
Speaking of the resolution passed by the
Supervisors at the last meeting directing
the gas and electric light communes to dis
continue lighting the City street lights,
John A. Russeil, clerk to the board, said
yesterday: "I am afraid that plan won't
work. The City has a contract requiring
these companies to light the streets
through the year. It is not likely the
companies will submit to being dismissed
in this summary manner. The contract
requires that they keep the lamps clean
and in repair. This requires them to keep
a small regiment of men employed. Can
they send them off at a day's notice? I
don't know, but I don't think it will do."
DID NOT CLOSE AT NOON
A Fifth - Avenue Barber in
Trouble for Keeping His
Shop Open.
So a Warrant Was Sworn Out for
His Arrest for Violating
the Law.
The first case for a violation of the act
passed by the last Legislature for regu
lating the hours during which barbers'
shops shall be open will be heard in a day
or two before Judge Low.
H. A. Wolfe, barber, 1226 Dupont street,
appeared in Judge Low's court yesterday
and swore out a warrant for the arrest of
"John Doe," a barber at 701 Fifth avenue,
for keeping his shop open for business
after 12 o'clock noon last Sunday.
The Barbers' Protective Union is deter
mined that the law shall be obeyed. The
union was particularly active in having
the act passed, as the members believed
the time had come when they should have
a day's reßt as well as other people, the
more so as they are as a rule kept hard at
work till late Saturday night.
When the act was introduced into the
Assembly it was referred to tue Committee
on Public Moral?, of which Assemblyman
Bettman of this city was chairman. It
was passed by the Assembly and the San
Francisco delegation worked hard to get
it passed through the Senate. In fact it
was due to their efforts, assisted by tne
Call, that the bill was passed through
both chambers.
The passage of the bill was received with
great enthusiasm by the barbers of this
City, and as a mark of their appreciation
the San Francisco delegation was tendered
a banquet on returning to the City at
which the proprietor of the Call was an
honored guest.
All the leading barbers in the City have
implicitly obeyed the law by closing at 12
o'clock noon "on Sundays, and they will
insist that it is universally resnected.
DEPIED THE LAW.
A Barber Arrested for Ref using to Close
on Sunday.
President Klitsch presided at the meet
ing of the Barbers' Union last night.
Mr. Aubertine presented a report about
the result of the ball recently given, and,
it appearing satisfactory, it was accepted.
The union came out ahead, but did not
have a bonanza.
The picnic committee reported that it
had been decided to hold the picnic on the
14th of July. D. Martin, recording secre
tary, was removed for neglect of duty.
The union decided in future to hold its
sessions with doors open only to members,
for the purpose of keeping out those who
have been attending meetings and whose
names are not on the membership roll.
The investigating committee reported the
arrest of the proprietor of a shop near the
racetrack who refused to close his shop
last Sunday. This will be made a test case.
On motion of Mr. Wolfe the members of
the union resolved themselves into a com
mittee of the whole to report at the next
meeting all shops that remain open after 8
o'clock at night.
New French Hospital.
The meeting of the French Mutual Benevo
lent Society called for next Sunday to elect
three physicians for the new French Hospital
on Point Lobos and Fifth avenues has been
postponed till Sunday, May 26. The reason for
the postponement is that the annual picnic of
the French Order of Druids will take place
next Sunday, and most of the members are to
attend the picnic. The appointment of spe
cialists, which was at the last meeting of the
society left in the hands of the city board of
directors, will also not be made till Sunday,
May 26, so that both the physicians and special
ists will be selected on the same day.
POE NEW £LEOTEIO LIGHTS.
Bonds Filed Yesterday for Laying an
Underground Conduit.
The Mutual Electric Light Company
filed a bond, or four of them, yesterday for
$5000 each.with the names of Alvinza Hay
ward and Andrew W. Rose as sureties, as
preliminary to thejtearing up of four miles
of the City streets and laying down electric
light wires. The law requires the giving
of a bond in such cases for every mile of
streets to be disturbed, securing the City in
the replacing of the street in the condi
tion in which it was found.
