EXPERT TESTIMONY
GIVEN TO SENATE
H. Sonnehill, Baltimore Grocer,
Shows Steady Increase in
Cost of Living
Tariff Blamed for Higher Prices
on Lemons and Other
Commodities
WASHINGTON. March 14. — H. Son
nehill, a grocer of Baltimore, this
ifternoon read to the senate commit
tee on the cost of living a statement
Eriving a number of comparisons of the
"ost of commodities for several years
hack.
Among the articles mentioned as
having increased in price were butter,
<-ggs, cheese, flour, beans and rice. He
declared that during the last 10 years
th« price of potatoes had decreased 15
JHT cent and chocolate and cocoa 10
per cent.
The witness estimated that the price
of flour had increased 12% per cent
during the last 12 years, but his figures
for five years back showed It had in
creased about 25 per cent.
When the witness declared the price
of lemons had increased $1 a case in
the last year and attributed the ad
vance to the increase in the tariff Sen
ator Smoot took him to task, and asked
him if he did not know that In July,
1909, before the new tariff law went
into effect, lemons sold for $S a case,
whereas now they could be bought for
$3.50 per case. The witness replied
that he did recall that lemons were
pretty higrh at the time to which the
senator referred.
Sonnehill also attributed the in
crease In the price of brooms of 60
cents a dozen since 190S to the tariff
and to the short broom corn crop. He
f=aid that in the face of a short broom
crop "somebody had the" tariff raised."
Chairman Lodge today received from
Secretary Wilson of the. department of
agriculture a statement covering the
total number of animals slaughtered
and the total receipts at establish
ments under federal Inspection during
the >;ear 1909. It shows that the ag
crrejrate kill was 55.672,075. Of the

BUDGET WILL BE
TAKEN UP SHORTLY
Premier Asquith Announces the
Measure Will Be Disposed
Of Before Spring Recess
LONDON. March 14. — An interesting
phase of the political situation today
was Premier Asquith's announcement
In the house of commons that the
budget would be reintroduced and dis
posed of before the house rises for tfte
spring recess. This announcement re
vived political speculation in the lob
bies. It is generally believed that the
nationalists will abstain from voting,
in which case the budget will be
passed.
If the budget is defeated, there is
no doubt the government will resign
and go to the country again on the
questions of the budget and the reform
of the house of lords.
The debate on the naval estimates in
the house of commons was only note
worthy for the clash between Lord
Charles Beresford and Reginald Mo
venna, first lord of the admiralty, the
Litter flatly accusing Lord Charles of
making a misstatement.
Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre
• »-v. in a strong speech at a liberal
banquet In London tonight, declared
:..,t. it was not sufficient to limit the
\ eto power of the lords, but that the
upper house must be radically reformed.
SOLDIER'S DEATH
MYSTERY UNSOLVED
Belief Strong That Janney In
tended Demonstration, Not
Contemplating Suicide
MAXILA. March 14. — The mysterious
circumstances attending the killing of
Second Lieutenant Clarence M. Janney
of the Twelfth infantry, -which occurred
Saturday at Fort William McKinley,
have- not. yet been cleared up. It is
generally believed Janney killed him
self, but It is uncertain whether by ac
cident or design.
Lieutenant Colonel Amen and Mrs.
Janney, the only witnesses, agree that
Janney rushed into the house flourish
ing a pistol which was suddenly dis
charged. Many believe that Janney
planned a demonstration and that he
had no intention of committing suicide.
A special board is investigating th«
affair. The l>ody will be sent home by
a transport sailing March 23. Janney

WILL MAKE FIGHT FOR THE
CITY WITH THE CALL'S MAP
"We are going to warm things up in this Hetch Hetchy campaign,"
said Frank C McDonald, president of the civil service commission and
member of the joint committee of the building trades and labor councils,
appointed to make the water fight for the city. "The first thing we will
do will be to nail the lie that San Francisco is trying dam up
Yosemite. Those interests spreading all sorts of false reports in
the matter, which we have no difficulty in identifying as Mr. Spring
Valley 'and allied power companies/are going to be met in a way which
will put out of business their campaign of misrepresentation.
"To every congressman at Washington and to every central labor
organization in the United States we propose sending the map published
in today's Call, which shows just what the city is about. -
"That map they can't get away from. It tells better than any words
that the city does not propose to come within miles 'of Yosemite; that
the Hetch Hetchy valley is across a mountain plateau and in a different
watershed. It shows just what the city is after and exposes the lies of
its enemies.
"We know that we can depend on The Call in this fight, but there
are some newspapers in this city whose course leads us to distrust them.
The Call has stood by the Hetch Hetchy proposition through thick and
thin and we know that it will stand by it.
"Our fight is to be virtually "a campaign of education. First, we
will mail to every member of the building trades and the labor councils
copies of the letter explaining the water situation published in The Call
this morning. The letter accompanied by the map issued by the
geological survey we will send to all the central labor organizations
in the United States. This alone means getting in touch with upward
of 5,000 centers of influence. Each of these we will urge to take up
the city's cause with their individual members.
, "We will ask them to write to their congressmen for San Francisco
and we will appeal to our own members here to write back to some
friend or relative or business acquaintance in the east to enlist their
aid in the matter.
"This campaign will be opened at once. When our delegation goes
on to Washington at the mayor's selection we propose that it shall have
all the backing we can raise throughout the whole country.* We are
not taking hold of this thing to lose out; we are going to put'it through.
San Francisco has a right to the water which has been. dedicated to its
future use in Hetch Hetchy, and she is going to have it."
BOARD BEGINS AN
ATTACK ON U. R.
Resolutions Aimed at Horsecars
and Geary Street Claim
ants Passed After Clash
Continued From PflKe 1
lution "directing" the public utilities
committee to report on his ordinance
by March 21. The ordinance in ques
tion orders the United Railroads to run
its Sutter cars to the ferry on the inner
Market street tracks.
"In introducing this resolution," said
Bancroft, '"I have no desire to show any
discourtesy to the public utilities com
mittee. I Introduced my ordinance two
weeks ago and It has been put over by
the public utilities committee. I pre
sent my resolution at this tlme^befcaiise
some of the members of the utilities
committee said my proposed ordinance
bore no relation to the attempt oT the
United Railroads to grab the permit, to
use the outer tracks. It is obvious
that the two are related. It would be
foolish to grant the company the per
mit for the outer tracks and then,
after that had been done, take 1 up my
ordinance to make them use the inner
tracks. I move the adoption of the
resolution under suspension of the
rules."
Read Three Times
HoAs seconded the motion. Super
visor Loughery asked that Bancroft's
resolution be read again. Then Pugh
asked for another reading.
"I believe that the rules give us 30
dayr to report,'.' said Pugh, speaking
as chairman of the committee on public
utilities.
"That may be the rule," replied Ban
croft, "but we make our own rules by
majority vote, and if we desire, we can
take this up now."
"If you want to take this matter
away from the committee, perhaps you
had better handle it yourself," retorted
Pugh.
rt I do not want to be discourteous to
the committee." said Bancroft. "If
you look upon It that way I would
change my resolution to a request to
the committee instead of directing the
committee."
"I am not altogether satisfied on this
proposition," interposed Supervisor
Kelly. "One of the contentions of the
newspapers, and those who have the
interests of the city so much at heart,
has been that by voting the permit we
jeopardize the rights of the Geary road.
They object that if we grant the per
mit we- recognize the Sutter street
company. But if we order the Sutter
street cars to go down on the inner
tracks we recognize the Sutter street
company just the same. They say the
Sutter street company is a dummy cor
poration. It is a regularly organized
company. It is legal anyway you
take it, whether two tracks or four
tracks. It makes no difference."
Kelly Mistaken
The supervisor was under the mis
apprehension that the Bancroft ordi
nance directed the Sutter company to
go down Market street. It makes no
mention of the Sutter company,' but
directs the United Railroads to go down
Market street on the inner tracks.
"I have no objection to having this
come up," said Herget, "but the way
certain papers have been casting asper
sions and vilifying this committee, we
should be allowed to -deal with . the
main resolution. I feel. Supervisor
Bancroft, that, we should be allowed
to conduct our committee ; work like
any other committee." .
Supervisor Cutten said he could see
no objection to Bancroft's resolution.
"I intend when the matter comes up,"
said Bancroft, "to move the adoption
of my ordinance in place of. the permit
proposed.' I. do' not want £b 'have it
said when the matter comes .up that
members of the board are not familiar
with my •measure."
Postponement Killed
Supervisor Knowles"; moved a. post
ponement for. a ;week, but . there was no
second. Mur Jock suggested that - the
more information that could be brought
before the board;the'better. V, ;
"It is just possible,"- said Kelly— "and
if I were a member; of the committee
I would 'do it— it is Just possible, I say.
that if my hand was forced -I should
vote to report adversely." .
"If the committee^ will agree to. re
port on my ordinance^atthe same time
as on the> permit V will ; withdraw \u25a0\u0084m y
motion," proposed Bancroft. ',".•\u25a0
"This- committee can'tdo everything
at once," complained Pugh. -."I- won't
stay here . all-night, even If v l'm , a;su
pervisor : all. my; life,* and go without
supper In this here building." ;oT:~.^
Upon Murdock's J suggestion, : Ban^
croft's; motion was then '.changed to . a
request that the utilities committee. re r
port on the. Bancroft ordinance" at r the
same . time as on ., the I lower. Market
street \u25a0 permit. . \u25a0 Supervisor jHayden* of
fered ~! the '- second. . '• McLaughlln..Vug
gested that Pugh agree ; to this., -
-- "I r can't say.'!/ replied Push. ."I'm

only one. I'll do my best, but there are
four others" on the committee." f,
"I'd also like a report on niy resolu
tion for the forfeiture of the Sutter
street franchise," asserted Bancroft.
"Do I understand that he also tags
this on?" asked Kelly. *
Withdraws Proposal
Bancroft withdrew this proposal.^,, as
he stated that he did not wish to com
plicate the Issue. The motion calling
for the simultaneous report, on the
lower Market street questions was car
ried unanimously.
Walsh then introduced his two reso
lutions, one calling for the proceedings
against the Sutter^ Street company's
supposed holdings in Market street and
the second, while covering the same
ground, including the . rights claimed
in Geary street by the United Rail
roads under old grants to the North
Beach and Mission railroad company
and the Central Railway company.
"I have contended and I contend
right along," said Walsh, "that the
Sutter Street company Is a dummy cor
poration. It hag just two horsecars,
two dry goods boxes to accommodate
the passengers from 16 cars. We don't
want to delay or we will be placed in
the position of dilly dallying with this
company, and it may take hope and get
the belief that we are breathing new
life into it.",
"Your resolution Is similar to mine,"
said Supervisor, Bancroft. v.
Better, Says Mayor
. "The chair believes it is better than
yours," broke in the. mayor. "'Mr.
Walsh's resolution is based on the plat
form of his party, while yours is not.
There is that difference."
"I am glad this has come up." de
clared Murdock. "Let us determine if
the Sutter company has any rights. I
do not believe that it has any. It is
merely a ghost."
Walsh's" resolutions were carried
unanimously. .
The board referred to the public utilr
Itles committee Daniel O'Connell's ap
plication for a street railway franchise
in lower Market street and William N.
McCarthy's suggestion that the Gough
street franchise made a bad innovation
in granting incidentally a permanent
right to erect poles. * -

"We will soon have our documents

mentioned at the meeting Saturday
night. All we are waiting for now is
the new map o fthe two valleys, which
will sho that the ork contemplated in
the Hetch Hetchy valley will not in
any manner mar the beauty of the
Yosemite valley. The Call gave us most
respectful attention when the commit
tee called on the management today,
and it has already been and will be of
great assistance to us in the fight we
are making for pure water for this and
future generations."
John J. Nolan, business agent of the
molders' union, president of the joint
committee, said that The Call had done
good work for Hetch Hetchy. Ho
added: -
"The first thing we will do will be to
send our literature to all the central
labor bodies and to all the state fed
erations, with an urgent request that
they take immediate action as sugest
ed in the resolution and letter. These
bodies are in a position to draw atten
tion of affiliated unions and prepare the

B. B. Rosenthal, vice president of the

PRAISE FOR THE CALL
J. O'Connell of the teamsters' union,
also N of the joint committee, expressed
himself as sanguine that the movement
that has been started by the committee
of.which he Is a member will bear good
fruit and he, too, declared that The Call
was doing good work in placing the
facts of the case in their true light be
fore the public.

offer of sale of the private Lake Elea

"A million dollars in a good deal of

haps the matter, should be considered

"Let me remind *the board that time
slips along and if_we suffer everything

BATHE IS WAGED
AGAINST DEVLIN
Powerful Interests Carry enßit
ter Fight Against Fed
eral Attorney
Judiciary Committee May Re
consider Failure to Indorse
Nomination
Continued Prom Pare 1
Attorney General _ Bonaparte in all im
portant steps taken. ' :
Some of Devlin's friends here think
there Is a desire to make Devlin the !
scapegoat for the course of former At- !
torney >General Bonaparte ' and for
BurnsLalleged part 'in the case. .They
are demanding a' personal -hearing' for •
Devlin and, will probably obtain It." At-*
torney General Wlckersham is embar
rassed, it is said, because it was upon
the; report of Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Parr that, the indictment against
Perrin was dismissed. \ '.
r Devlin, in his letter, repeats his opin
ion that Perrin, waß- guilty, while a
majority, of the committee accept the
dismissal of the indictment as proof
that" the department' of justice regards
him as an innocent man.
Has Powerful Enemies
"For more than two years the influ
ences, that have led to the refusal
the part of- the senate judidiary com
mittee to recommend the j confirmation
of' Devlin's 'reappointment to the office'
of United States attorney for, the dis
trict of northern California -have
been working at "Washington against
the official.' Wealth and political power
both have been thrown into the 'strug
gle against Devlin, and opposed to him
have been some of the most influential
senators in congress.
Senator Borah, who, himself was
charged with land frauds, has led the
battle against Devlin's confirmation.
President Taft March 19, 1909, sent
Devlin's nomination to the senate, but,
such was the pressure brought to bear,
the. session of congress then in prog
ress took no action on it. The present
session 1 delayed the matter, and Dev
lin's impatient letter to Washington a
few days ago drove them to action.
While, the most powerful and strong
ly intrenched forces in the country
have been arrayed against Devlin,
those who aroused the antagonism are
two men the United "States attorney
prosecuted in San Francisco — Dr. E. B.
Perrin, whom Devlin convicted of con
spiracy to defraud the government in
land deals, and Joseph E. Gardner, son
of a well known Kentucky family, who
was acquitted of murder after two
trials and a bitter contest.
CONVICTED OF LAND FRAUDS
Perrin was convicted with John A.
Benson before Judge John J. de Haven,
United States district judge for north
ern California. The case was appealed
to the United States circuit court of
appeals and the judgment against
Perrin reversed and a new trial or
dered. Attorney General Wickersham
dismissed the case \ against
however, before the second 'trial be
gan. Benson, who had exhausted his
finances, is now serving his sentence of
one year in prison.
Joseph E. Gardner, a Kentucky youth
who shipped for a cruise in the arctic
on the whaler Bowhead and killed a
negro while on the trip, was acquitted
on the plea of self-defense. Devlin
made charges of Jury tampering In this
trial, implicating Jack Chtnn, a well
known Kentucky horseman, in the
matter, and Chlnn and Gardner's rela
tives and friends became sworn ene
mies of the official.
Gardner's father Is Judge D. W.
Gardner of Kentucky, one of his uncles
is Chief Justice Edward C. O'Rearof
the appellate court of Kentucky and
another is John Gardner, solicitor of
the treasury at Washington. They
were arrayed against Devlin, for they
claimed that young Gardner was justi
fied in killing the negro, and that Dev
lin'had persecuted the young man.
DEVLIN'S SCALP SOUGHT
Mrs. Perrin, who comes of a promi
nent southern family, joined her hus
band in the effort to have Devlin re
moved, for the family was furious at
the prosecution. Perrin is credited
with having said repeatedly that he
had $100,000 with which he would "get"
Devlin. .
