GRAND JURY WANTS
NEW FIGHT LAWS
Legislature Will Be Asked' to
Define What Is Meant by
Word "Prizefight"
OAKLAND, Dec. 13. — The grand Jury
of Alameda county will ask the legis
lature to define what is meant by .a
prizefight, so that the prohibitory stat
ute may be enforced. The difficulty is
to draw the line between prizefights
and sparring exhibitions.
An examination of decisions regard
ing prizefights in many-states, which
was made by District Attorney Donahue
at the time he prevented the Jeffries-
Johnson fight at Emeryville, showed
that It was not so easy to regulate the
minor fights that are controlled by
clubs.
The grand jury recently made an in
vestigation of prizefighting in Alameda
county, listening to Mayor Mott and
Superintendent of Police Wilson of
Oakland, who described the system
now practiced of permitting incor
porated clubs to conduct limited round
boxing exhibitions.
The grand jury will meet tomorrow
and take up the charges made against
County Assessor Henry P. Dalton by
Leslie Blackburn and Frank Shay.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
STARTS TUGBOAT WAR
Claim Made That Owners In-
jure Oakland Shipping
OAKLAND, Dec. 13. — At the regular
semimonthly meeting of the Oakland
chamber of commerce today a resolu
tion was passed urging that the cham
ber purchase tugboats to be operated
in the interests of local shipping en
tering the estuary, at charges which
shall cover merely the cost of opera
tion, lunless tugboat owners stop dis
criminating against Oakland. The
claim was made that a number of tug
boat owners are now in the habit of
stating that boats can not be brought
into the estuary without breaking the
cargoes, and that this method is fol
lowed for the purpose of discouraging
the bringing of cargoes into the Oak
land harbor.
The following list was submitted by
the nominating committee itoday to
compose the new board of directors to
be voted on in January:
H. C. Capwell. P. C. Fredertekson, Theodore
Gier, ,C. J. Heeseman, A. Jonas. F. A. Leach

Secretary Denison reported that Con
gressman Knowland had agreed to take
up with Collector of the Port Stratton
the matter of segregation of San Fran
cisco ana Oakland cargoes arriving by
sea. At present, when a vessel arrives
in San Francisco with a cargo to be
divided between the two cities, *the en
tire cargo is credited to San Francisco.
Steps will also be taken by Knowland
to have Oakland made a regular port of
entry.

iPhuQifpisinQ
i lljdilbiiiiid
Oakland, Cal., August 6, 1910.
To the Public: I wish to certify that
I have been cured by Dr. T. Foo Yuen
of chronic stomach trouble, so that
others suffering from the same cause
may be enlightened and go to him for
treatment.
About five years ago, while living in
San Francisco, I began to have attacks
of indigestion, which gradually in-
creased until I had to call in a physi-
cian, and while there I was treated by
two American physicians of good re-
pute, but obtained no relief, the at-
tacks becoming more frequent and
more severe; the pain in my stomach
at that time became almost unbearable.
Since moving to Oakland I have
treated with six well known physicians
who exhausted their skill with no good
results. I suffered such intense pain
that I cried in agony and wished to die.
The doctors said nothing could be done
for me except to give me morphine to
ease the pain. But my friends would
not' have it so. Last September they
hurried me to see Dr. Foo, who had a
short time before located at 1912
Broadway, Oakland. After he had ex-
amined my pulse he said I had serious
stomach trouble. I began to take his
herbal treatment at once, and after
taking it for two months I noticed a
decided improvement, seldom having
any pain, and felt hopeful and encour-
aged. After the expiration of six months
Dr. Foo .discharged me as cured. >
Five months have passed since then
and I have felt no return of the trouble,
so I feel the cure will be permanent.
My weight taken in health was 165
pounds, which had been reduced to 114
pounds when I went to consult Dr. Foo.
I now weigh 145, and think in' a short
time I will be up to my normal condi-
tion in every respect.
I found Dr. Foo a kind and courteous
gentleman, arid would advise thoge who
are suffering to avail themselves of his
wonderful skill, which far surpasses
that of any physician that I have ever
employed. i
I believe I awe my life to Dr. Foo
Yuen, and my gratitude is unbounded.

CONSOLIDATION OF
GOVERNMENT URGED
Committee Appointed to Dis
cuss Combination of City
and County Affairs
OAKLAND, Dec. 13.— 1n compliance
with a request from the legislation
committee of the chamber of com
merce, Mayor Frank K. Mott today ap
pointed a committee of representative
men from Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley,
HaywarJ, Niles, San Leandro, Liver
more and Centerville to take up the
matter of a consolidated city and
county government. Adna A. Denison,
secretary of. the chamber of commerce,
as temporary chairman, will call a
meeting, but the date has not been
decided upon. The men appointed are:
Oakland— A. Jonas, A. A. Denison, W. S.
Mackay; Wilber Walker. F. A. Leach Jr., W. E.
Gibson, E. H. Marwedel.
Alameda— J. H. Wilkins, W. W. Hammond,

Centerrllle— T. C. Huxley.
In discussing the movement today,
Denison saiJ:
Some legislation to facilitate the
consolidation or federation of cities
or the formation of city and county
governments will be considered by
the legislature. It is desirable for
the cities on the east side of the
bay whose financial, industrial and
civic interests are becoming more
identified every day.
There is no inclination to preci
pitate any general scheme of con
solidation, and certainly nothing
will be urged without the consent
of all the communities involved.
As I understand the purpose of
this committee it is merely to ar
range for a friendly conference to
bring aljout unity of action.

BY SUPPOSED SNAKE
Miss Pearl Home Dashes
Across Stream "Into Fence
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
SAN ANSELMO, Dec. 13.— Mistaking
a blackberry vine caught in the hem of
her skirt for a snake, Miss Pearl A.
Home fled down the side of a hill this
afternoon, ran through a stream and
attempted to climb a barbed wire
fence, receiving scratches and cuts on
her hands and ankles.
The young woman was picking red
berries with a party of friends In
preparation for a holidaj* dance to
morrow night. She trampled on a dead
vine, which clung to her dress.
Crying out that a snake had seized
her, she plunged down the hill. Her
friends followed, calling on her to stop,
but she was panic stricken. The Fair
fax creek, three feet in depth, con
fronted her, but she did not hesitate.
Drenched to the waist, she reached the
opposite bank. Screaming, she sped
across a field and sought to climb the
fence.

Five Dollars a Box
The Price Cut >'o Figure TTith Him.
"I want to say for the benefit of
some poor dyspeptic that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will give comfort and
a cure every time. Five dollars a box
would not stop my purchasing them
should I ever suffer again as I did for
a week before using them.
"The one 50 cent box I bought at
my druggist's did the work and my
digestion i3 all right again.
"Hany of my neighbors have also
tried these tablets and found them to
be just as represented and Mr. El'ir.s
also wants me to use his name in en-
dorsing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets."

Mrs. Jas. Barton of Toronto. Canada,
writes: "For eighteen months I suf-
fered from what I supposed was blad-
der and kidney trouble, and took medi-
cine from three different doctors, with-
out any sign of cure. I felt so ill at
last I was hardly able to do my work.
"I thought I would try a box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see if
they would make me feel better, never
really thinking I had dyspepsia, but
after only three or four tablets had
been taken all the acid troubles disap-
peared and then I discovered I had hart
acid dyspepsia, while the doctors had
been treating me for kidney and blad-
der trouble and one of them treated me
for rheumatism.
"My digestion is fine, my complexion
clear and I am able to do my work
and low spirits are unknown to me.
"I am thankful for finding a cure so
good and so pleasant to take as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I am sur-
prised at the change they have made
in me."
All druggists sell and recommend
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they contain only the simple natural
digestives, and taken after meals pre-
vent acidity and cause prompt diges-
tion and assimilation of food.
Physicians everywhere endorse them
because they are as safe for the child
as for the adult: they are Invaluable
for sour stomach, nervous dyspepsia,
heartburn^ gas on stomach and bowels
and every form of stomach derange-
ment.
