Newspaper Pattern Schemes Are Against the
Interests of the Dry Goods Establishments
The leadbg dry goods merchants in
Boston redently sent this petition to the
daily newspapers of that city:
"The advertising of pattern* in the daily
paper* tends to conflict with the dry goods
interest. This feature of die business is small
in every establishment in the country so far as
aggregate sales are concerned. These depart
ments are maintained as. a means for at
tracting customers to the stores, and liberal
expenditures are made, considering the sales,
by the distribution of what are termed fashion 1
•heets.
"The business of such departments is not
large enough to justify expensive newspaper
advertising, -ad the undersigned do not think
it fair for die newspapers to become compet
itor* of their largest advertisers in this, or any
ether branch of their business. We hope that,
on consideration, you will agree with us and -
decide to discontinue it ** ,
The Boston Herald, Traveler. Post,
American and Record all granted the
request of the merchants. The Tran
script, Globe, Advertiser and Journal
,oever handled patterns.

While no direct word has yet been
received by the district attorney's of
fice from James L. Gallagher, ex-super
visor and important witness in all the
graft cases, Assistant District Attor
ney Heney declared yesterday that lie
was confident Gallagher would bo lo
cated and would be back In fc>an Fran
cisco in- time for- the trial of Patrick
Calhoun on January ' 6. \u25a0 • : • • -
Heney scouts the idea, thct Galla
gher is making an effort to hide his
whereabouts or that no has any idea
of taking advantage of tha opportu
nity offeredl by his eastern trip to at
tempt to escape from the irksome task
of testifying again and again to his
own shame as a boodler. 1
None of the telegrams sent the miss
ing tourist has reached him, -but
enough has been learned to show that
he is following the exact route that
he mapped out for his trip at .-the. time
h« left San Francisco. Telegrams
sent to various points*have reached
their destination just a few days after
he had left, and Heney feels that it is
but a matter of a few .days until he
will b*> in direct communication with
Gallagher.
Since the postponement of th*' Cal
houn trial until after the holidays has
been ordered Gallagher will not be
asked to return to San Francisco at
once, but will be notified of the date
set for the beginning of the trial.

George W. Jones, who says his real
name is Alfred Caruthen, is dying in
the central emergency hospital of the
wound . inflicted by Charles Sales in
their duel in Purcell's dancehall, 620
Pacific street, Monday night He made
a statement yesterday to Assistant
Bond and Warrant Clerk McCarthy, in
which he charged that Nina, a colored
girl, had urged Sales to kill him. He
said that Sales shot at him twice,
wounding him, and as he fell he fired
at Sales. While he lay on. the floor a
big soldier took his revolver from him
and kicked him' until he lost conscious
ness. Sales died .on the k way to thfe
hospital.
Theron McCampbell, manager of the

said:
•' • ; - \u25a0 •\u25a0-\u25a0.-•, \u25a0-
"So long at a single . newspaper in a city
had a monopoly on the newspaper pattern, it
. was a good advertising and circulation
scheme, but in this, as in everything else,
success soon Brought a host of imitators.
"Many publishers were persuaded to take
up the newspaper pattern business merely to
meet competition. The newspaper patterns
are, as a rule, put out by irresponsible manu
facturers.
"Naturally, the publishers of newspapers
are not in position to judge the relative mer
its of patterns, and if they innocently flood
the market with poor patterns they will be
doing great injustice to the legitimate pattern
business as conducted by the merchants of the
country, who have millions of dollars invested
in patterns. '
"The fact that the big pattern houses man
ufacturing the ; Butterkk pattern, die McCall
pattern, the LadieV Home Journal pattern,

I ness is about the best ; evidence -in the world
that they are not willing to turn out] the qual

PLAN NEW STRESS TO
DIVERT TRAFFIC IN
PART FROM MARKET
Diagonal .Thoroughfare Is
Proposed From Frefhont
:; to the Ferry "
FOR MORE SEWERS
Project Is to Reconstruct
System at Cost of
$7,000;000
Tteconstructing of streets' and sewers
was taken up by the 'public utilities
committee ;wi£h the board of superf
visors last night, , the principal theme
being the diverting of traffic from
Masrket street. One .of the ' plans
broachftd was the extension of Mont
gomery avenue to the ferry and the
.widening of Commercial, Clay or Sac
ramento streets. \u25a0 ' -
Another plan outlined last night pro
posed, intercepting the traffic in Fol
som,' Howard, Mission and contiguous
streets by cutting a 100 foot: street
diagonally from the intersection of
Folsom and Fremont streets to the
foot of Market street, stri king it : near
the ferry. Another Important project
which received considerable attention
was that of building a tunnel .under
Broadway from ' Sansome : /fetreet : to
Hyde as a new and convenient way
from, the ferry\ to the Western addi
tion. The plan was put forward by
Chief Assistant Engineer IT. Connick,
who said that the proposed tunnel
would cost $900,000 and would be wide
enough for two teams to pass.
The cost of repairing and repaying
numerous streets, . including^ all of
those on the artificially made land
south of Market street, as* estimated
by Connick, was; $7,000,000 and, would
take three years to accomplish. , Con
nick also outlined a plan to recon :
struct the sewer system and provide
many districts of s the city which now
lack them with sewers. .The new sys
tem would co.«t about $7,000,000, ex
clusive of amounts already expended
and would take five years to build.;
The. next meeting of this body will
be held Thursday, when schools, parks,
playgrounds and libraries will be tak
en up. Following^-that meeting the
various committees wilt make indi
vidual reports, from which the public
utilities committee will draw up Its
final report for the board.

to reopen, the contest.
-estate left by George Monnier

wJlled;>ll-of .it to his wife. .The will
wasibroken by the son on the ground
of undue influence exercised by Mrs.

The building: laws committee of the

to report adversely upon the proposed

Members of the board of health and
repreeontatives from the California club
were heard in opposition to the pro

but.llttle, good, would accrue if own
ers of corner pieces .of property were
permitted to build on the entire depth
of the holding* and. thus shut in the
yard space- of the adjoining land. * The
committee shared \u25a0 the -opinion of the

* They bids were opened yesterday by
Colonel Bellinger.; for repairs to the
army transport Logan on the amended
specifications, ; and the" contract will
probably :; be awarded to ; tlfe Risdon
Iron works, whicb. is: the lowest bidder.
Ever since the Logan arrived from Ma
nila and it was announced that-,the
vessel would be given \an extensive
overhauling, every shipyard on --the
coast , ; has had <. eyes on the. big -Job.
The first specifications called for work
that was expected to cost nearly ?500,
000, and jin ,view of the coming visit
of the' battleship fleet, the shipyards
used every exertion to secure a chance
to show Uncle. Sam and the critics
on the Atlantic side that the Pacific
coast shipyards were as well equipped
as any in the world.
.Even little Seattle-made an effort to
get the job and the citizens of that
enterprising burg subscribed, $25,000 to
help thePuget sound concern. "When
the bids '.were opened, however, Seattle
learned, that Puget sound could not
compete with- San > Francisco shipyards,
the Seattle bid being far and away the
highest. 'The bid of the Union iron
works was the lowest.
The war department decided, how
ever, that the Logan would -have to
get along with a more modest patching,
all bids were rejected, new specifica
tions prepared and yesterday the. new
bids were opened.
V There were three bidders. The bids
were: Union Iron works, $219,607, with
no ilm© limit; Moore & Scott. $228,429,
to finish the work in 150 working days,
and Risdon iron works, $194,757, in,l?2
