Prisoners Climb From Dock. City Engineer Grunsky completed plans yesterday for the repair and Improvement of accepted streets, for which work the question of Issuing bonds is to be sub mitted to the electors In September. It Is estimated by the City Engineer, that $1,621,000 will be required for the construc tion- of. the required modem pavements. The following statement in connection with the plans was Issued by the City. Engineer: It Is proposed to replace the cobblestone pavements on streets -of light gradients, as well 'as 'the worn-out pavements, notably those in the downtown or business section of the city, with new pavements. ' The work of pavement repair and reconstruc tion will not, however, be conrtned to any par ticular district. Although most of it lies east of Van Ness avenue on the north side of M5r kct street and east of Ninth street on the south elde of Market, some of it will extend far out from the business center of the city on main lines of travel.. To the extent that traffic con ditions will : permit, the smooth-surfaced as phalt or bituminous . rock pavement Is recom mended , for use. " A list of the streets to be repaved or repaired, showing type of pavement to be used, forms a part of the City Engineer's report. Among the streets enumerated, aside from those of the business section of th* city, may be named: Valencia street from Eighteenth to Mission, Sixteenth street from Folsom to Valencia, Golden Gate avenue • from Market^ street to Cough and from Laguna to Scott. Fillmore street from Bush to ' California, Montgomery avenue from Washington street to Filbert, Van Ness avenue 'from Pulton street to McAllister and from ¦ Eddy, to Geary. The repair work is to be extended over such bituminous rock pave ments . as i those on i Market street . and on • Fol> gom street.

The amount of money now available to meet the expenses of the encampment event approximate^ $45,000. At least $20,000 more will be required to carry out the plans of reception and entertainment which have been approved by the com mittee of management. This will bring the total to $65,000. The sum of $S5,000 was expended in the reception and entertain ment of the Grand Army National En campment in San Francisco in 1SS6. Former Lieutenant Governor J. H. Neff and Harold T. Power of Placer were wel come visitors yesterday at Grand Army headquarters. Each of these distinguish ed representatives of the mining indus try of California made a handsome con tribution to the entertainment fund. The following additional contributions have been reported at Grand Army head- Quarters: SUM OF MONEY REQUIRED. The members of the executive commit tee. Thirty-seventh National Encamp ment, Grand Army of the Republic, are dealing In a spirit of perfect frankness with citizens of San Francisco. Nothing Is withheld from the public Amounts of money received from the State, the city and individual contributors are published. Sums allowed for the several functions, parades and for the decoration and Illum ination of the city are specified. The allowance of $20,000 to execute W. R. Hew itt's magnificent design of a grand arch was made on the principle that the beau tiful spectacle would afford universal de light to men, women and children of 'the city anil to all visitors. The argument was, "The people expect a splendid fea ture which will not be reserved for the privileged few, but one which all may view." It is the Judgment of electrical experts that the arch. In point of mag nitude and harmony of design, will sur pass anything of its character ever pre sented in the United States. In order to render the scheme effective and as a precautionary measure against an Immense and constant crush at "news paper corners." Market street for sev eral blocks on either side of the grand arch should be illuminated. An additional sum of $5000 may be required for support- Ing illumination. The Department .of Rhode Island has chartered a train of Pullman sleepers and dining cars for the round trip and will start from Providence, R. I., Saturday August 8, for a Journey of twenty-nine days, stopping on the outward trip at Colorado Springs and vicinity for two days and one day at Salt Lake City, ar riving at San Francisco Monday, August 17, in the forenoon. A delegation of the reception committee will meet the party and escort the travelers to the St. Nicho las Hotel, where accommodation has been secured. The party will start from here on the return trip Friday evening, August 21, going by way of Yosemlte Valley and Los Angeles, remaining in the latter place three days, and will see all that is to be seen of that section of the State within that time. A stop will also be mad o at the Grand Canyon, and the party is to re turn to Providence Sunday, September 6 James S. Hudson, a leading merchant of Providence, Is commander of the depart ment; Rev. J. J. Woolley, the senior vice commander, was chaplain in the Eighth Connecticut Infantry during, the War 'of the Rebellion, and also chaplain of the First Rhode Island during the Spanish- American War; Junior Vice Department Commander Ezra K. Parker is a promi nent attorney: Assistant .Adjutant General Philip S. Chase is City Auditor of Providence; ex-Mayor Charles P. Moles of Pawtucket, R. I., Is past department commander. Passenger agents of the different trans continental and connecting roads report that the travel expected for the approach ing encampment will be the heaviest ever known, and will tax every road to the ut most of its capacity. More special trains have been chartered for the event than has ever been known. Even the delega tions from the smaller departments have arranged to have their own specials, and in some instances it will require qu'ito a large train to accommodate delegation* from the most distant points. The Department of Oklahoma has se cured headquarters at the Hotel Lang ham, where all comrades will be made welcome during encampment week. The special train bearing Department Com mander Cyrus P. Green and his staff will leave Purcell at 7 a. m., August 11, and stop at Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Perry, Ponca City and Newkirk to take on vet erans in those localities. A train consist ing of chair cars and tourist sleepers will leave Woodward at 8;30 a. m., August 11, stopping at all prominent points for com rades to Join. These two trains will be consolidated at Newton and run through solid to the coast, making stops at all points of Interest. The work of the committee on hotels and accommodation and of. the committee on registration and information will be greatly facilitated by the aid of Peck's Tourist Bureau Companies of San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, which will be giv en free of charge to the committees, as well as to the visitors. The two com panies have volunteered their entire equipment and service, assisting the com mittees in conducting the bureaus of in formation and registration and aiding the committee on accommodation in procur ing rooms in lodging and dwelling houses and conducting strangers upon arrival to their lodgings. The Department of Missouri has accept ed the tender of parlor 114, Grand Hotel, for its headquarters, by the courtesy of Ransom Post, St. Louis, Mo., and will open headquarters on Monday, August 17, to be maintained during the entire encampment. The special train on which the department commander and his staff and Ransom Post, acting aj escort, will travel is composed of Pullman sleepers and tourist cars, with library, buffet and vestibuled Pullman day coaches. OKLAHOMA HEADQUARTERS. Katzauer served a term of eighteeen months in San Quentln for smuggling, so the records at police headquarters show. He was* received at the penitentiary on February 17, 1896. having been convicted in the United States District Court. in which he calls attention to the fact that it is necessary for as many comrades to attend the National Encampment In San Francisco as possible. Delegates who may be prevented from making the Jour ney are instructed to at once notify the assistant adjutant general In order that an alternate may be notified to take the place. The Illinois Central to Omaha has been selected as the official route for the department, going to Denver, Salt Lake City and San Francisco via the Southern Pacific, arriving here at 10 a. m., Friday. August 14. Comrades will Join the headquarters at all points on the Illi nois Central and those arriving at Oma ha on other trains will join the special leaving Omaha at 11:30 on Saturday even- Ing, August 8. There will also be a spe cial through Grand Army train of Pull man tourist sleepers, which will be ac companied by Assistant Adjutant General George A. Newman, leaving Des Molnes August 10 over the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, connecting at Denver with the Denver and Rio Grande to Salt Lake, thence to San Francisco. Department Commander Raymond thus appeals to the veterans, urging them to Join In ihe Dil grimage to California: Comrades, this Is to be a memorable encamp-' ment In more ways than one. It is tb; 's&t probably that will be held on the Pacific Coast, and the comrades in San Francisco are making arrangements that are perfectly dazzling in their magnificence. Headquarters will be opened at the Palace Hotel, August 17, where all comrades and visitors will receive a cordial welcome. Detective Ryan was called into the case and he and Lewln visited Katzauer's store with a search warrant and found a lot of cigars of both the stolen brands. When Katzauer was questioned he said he could not remember the man from whom he purchased the cigars and ex pressed ignorance of any knowledge that they had been stolen. His explanation was unsatisfactory and he was placed un der arrest. On April 8 a case was stolen from a car containing 1000 cigars of the brand "S. P. Hotel Favorites" and 1000 "L*ne & Connelly Victors." These were manu factured exclusively by Lane & Connelly for the S. P. Hotel at Yuma, Arls. On Monday a visitor from Yuma dropped Into Katzauer's store and bought a cigar. He was surprised to see it branded "S. P. Hotel Favorites," and expressed his sur prise to an official .of the railroad com pany. Ever since February cases containing many thousands of cigars have been oc casionally stolen from cars on trains go ing out of the city. All . the Southern Pacific detectives on this division have been engaged for months in an endeavor to trace the thieves, but they failed. Employes of the company were the sus pects, but the thefts were so cleverly done that no trace of the culprits could be found. v'»: Max Katzauer, proprietor of a cigar store at Third and Townsend streets, was arrested yesterday morning by Detective sergeant Ryan and Detective Lewln of the Southern Pacific Company, and book ed a* the City Prison on a warrant from Police Judge Conlan's court charging him with receiving stolen property. Ho was released later on $200 cash bail. Attorney Johnson has another story to tell, however, of the connection between Balfour, Guthrie & Co. and the Howard warehouses. He says that he expects to be able to prove that the warehouse man agement is in the habit of disposing of the grain recovered from the sweepings to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. at prices much below the market quotations and that it presumably shares In the profits of these transactions by which the customers are deprived of proper returns on the recov ered grain, which rightfully belongs to them. Balfour, Guthrle & Co. are named as co-defendants in the case and Attorney Johnson states that they were included because it was believed that they were the actual owners of the warehouses in question. This is denied at the offices of the latter firm, who say that they own considerable stock In the warehouse com pany, but have absolutely nothing to do with its management. When cleaning up time comes we dispose of the sweepings and divide the amount received pro rata among the customers who have had grain in our warehouses . during the period In which the sweeping accumulated. We em ployed the usual procedure In regard to the barley deposited by Horst and tendered him a check for his share of the recovered grain which he refused to accept. That is all there Is to the case and the bringing of this suit Is not worrying us In the least. * John L. Howard, president of the How ard Company admits that two pounds of grain was abstracted from every five sacks to cover leakage and said that the custom was universal among grain ware houses. He added: HOWARD TVrATnre DENIAL. As a matter of fact. Instead of a warehouse abstracting grain from the sacks of its de positors "as a matter of protection," It should allow them to share in the increase, which I am informed accrues to all grain In warehouses. As far as. I can see there can be no actual loss in grain when it is once In a warehouse. Ther* tnav b« a certain percentage of leakage In the sacks, but all this is regained In the sweep ings, which are appropriated by the ware houses. Hence any loss In the weight of the sacks Is regained in the sweepings, which In large storage runs up into tons and tons of grain. Whether or not It Is a custom for warehouses to make deduction from grain actually deliv ered to them "aa a matter of protection," to quote Mr. Howard, I do not know, but if It is, then the custom Is Indefensible. My client's attention was first attracted to the shortage in weights reported by the persons to whom he sold the grain. Then he began his Investi gation and satisfied himself that barley had been abstracted from the sacks stored by him in the Howard warehouses. 8lx months after he had ceaced to do business with the Howard Company and after repeated solicitations on his part for an equitable settlement of the short age, he was tendered a check for $12U0, which he refusrti. Then the suit was commenced. After obtaining this Information my client approached John L. Howard, president of the defendant corporation, and demanded restitu tion for the grain of which he was unjustly de prived. Howard then admitted to him that two pounds was deducted from every five sacks of barley in the returns on the weighing In of the grain and gave as a reason for that ex traordinary noceedlng that such was the cus tom among warehouses "as a matter of protec tion." . CONFIDENT OF OUTCOME. 1 We have brought this suit after a thorough investigation by my client, lasting over a pe riod of six months, during which he has satis fied hlmeelf that he was defrauded out of large quantities of craln deposited by him In the warehouses of the Howard Company at Oak land. How and where he obtained his Infor mation we do not deem It advisable to disclose at this time, but It Is of such a positive char acter as to lead us to believe that we shall be able to prove our contention without the shadow of a doubt when the case shall come to trial. Hiram Johnson, attorney for Horst, de clares that the investigation instituted by his client and extending over a period of six months has shown that the Howard Company in its warehouses in Oakland removed from the sacks of barley placed In storage there by Horst an average of 3.43 pounds from each sack and appropri ated this grain to lta own, use. Attorney Johnson said yesterday: } The amount we sue for represents $4500 worth of barley removed from the sacks belonging to my client, together with $900 for weighing charges, which we repudiate because the re turns on the weighing were admittedly false, and $600 expended In ascertaining- these facts and bringing suit against the Howard Com pany. From the information In our possession we are satisfied we can prove In a court of law our right to the foregoing sums. Following so closely upon the heels of the Epplnger scandal, the suit brought by H. Clemmens Horst, the dealer In hops and barley, against the Howard Company for alleged shortage In .weight In 88,000 sacks of barley delivered to the ware houses of the defendant , company, by which plaintiff claims to have been dam aged to the amount of $G000, has created consternation among those who make a business of Belling, buying and shipping grain. If the contentions of the plaintiff in the present suit can be sustained grain men will be likely to lose altogether that childlike faith they have held in warehouses and their system, the fallibil ity of which was severely tested by the scandalous disclosure in the Eppinger failure.

SMITH. Free Oil Painting With Next Sunday's Call. There is nothing in the wide, wide world quite so appealing as home. Be it ever so humble there is no spot like the habitation of the individual man. Rich or poor, high or low, good or bad, prince or pauper, the in- clination is for home, and any picture that represents home ties or home features touches the warmest spot in the hearts of all men and women. Apropos of this, The San Francisco Call presents as its art supple- ¦ ment next Sunday an oil painting which is a perfect reproduction in color of the celebrated picture by Henry P. Smith entitled "The 'Old Home- stead." It represents a New England farmhouse and possesses artistic qualities of the highest order. Its composition is well balanced, its color harmonious and there is a satisfying fidelity in the completeness with which the details are elaborated. There is an element of outdoors in the whole beautiful scheme. The farmhouse, with its antique, cozy character, \ its great elm tree in front, its rich greens surrounding and its sir oi s shade, comfort and coziness are peculiarly attractive. Smith, the artist, is one of the most successful of New York pic- ture-makers and he is one of the most cultivated men in the art world. Hitherto he has devoted himself largely to Venetian scenes— pictures of architectural wonders of the Old World. The present effort is an innora* tion; it passes from the grandeur of Granada and Seville to the homely comforts of a New England homestead. The change shows great versatil- ity in the artist and has in it an atmosphere that is peculiarly graceful and charming. California readers will be especially interested in this attractive pic- ture of Eastern homeliness and natural luxury, conveying as it does a de- licious sense of coolness that seems to exude from the canvas, FREE, of Course, With Next Sunday's Call.
