SELL PRODUCE BY VVEIGHTHEREAFTER Chicago Eliminates Measures and Expects Price Reduc- . tion to Result.

THREW JO BOMBS Socialist Councilman of Muscatine, la., Arrested.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Close upon the

enactment of the anti-noise ordinance j cornea anotber blow to the hucksters and the high cost of living, at least In so far as vegetables and fruits are j concerned, has been checked in Its J skyward flight. The ordinance re- . quiring the sale of fruits and vegeta-i

bles by weight Instead of measure, has gone Into effect, and has rung the death knell of the old peck measure of delusive capacity, so dear to the heart of peddlers. The act enabling the passage of the ordinance was introduced in the legislature by Charles A. Nelson. The new ordinance, it is declared, will result In reducing the price of vegetables and fruits 20 per cent to the consumer. Twenty deputy Inspectors were sent out from the office of city sealer Peter Zlmmer yesterday, to see that the law was complied with and that all grocerymen and peddlers were provided with scales instead of the old wooded measure on which the grocery clerk of old was wont to beat a tattoo with ibis fingers while mentally measuring the boss profits. At the time that the ordinance was passed most of the pruotests received iwere from the peddlers, the grocers ihavlng already substituted, in many 'instances, the scales for the old wooden measures. Practically the only 'ones affected yesterday were about 'one thousand hucksters. "A pound is a pound, but a peck Is as much as the grocer feels like giving." said one housewife, who was purchasing her week's supply of potatoes from a south side grocer. '"When 'they used to use the peck measure Ithey could fill it bromming full, or Just even with the rim, according to bow they felt. "Sometimes when the clerk would have a particular grudge against you be could slip an extra large potato Into the bottom of the measure in such ia way that It would fill as much space las would have been taken by half a dosen good sized potatoes." Grocers everywhere spoke in favor of the scales as a Just method of selling, and city sealer Zimmer was loud in hla praise of the new law. "I am convinced that the purchaser will get more for his money every time." be said. "Most of the grocers have changed to the scales already, so Hip ordinance will not cause many of - change."

The Macgrsgor. The Macgregors were forbidden to use their family name In 160:5. The proscription was removed by Charles II.. only to be inflicted again in the reign of William and Mary. It was not till 1822 that a royal license to use the name was granted to Sir Charles Mncgregor, up to then known as "Murray." In the early years of the seventeenth century every man's band was raised against this persecuted race and they could be mutilated and slain with Impunity. London Spectator.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4. Abe Ruef, erstwhile boss of San Francisco, now serving a fourteen-year sentence for his irregularities, will be brought over from San Quintin prison to testify against the man he is alleged to have "made" Former Mayor Eugene E. Schraitz during the trial of the latter on charges of bribery, which begins tomorrow. A subpoena issued by District Attorney Fickert has been served upon Ruef. There are sixteen indictments against the Schmidtz, wbo has been called "the last of San Francisco's crooked Mayors," but the trial will be on a single indictment charging him with offering a bribe. It is based on statements of officers of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, confessions of supervisors who held office in the political heyday of Ruef and Schmitz, and others. The Specific Charge. The specific charge against Schmitz in this case is that of having offered a bribe to ex-supervisor L. A. Rea for

bis vote on a gas rate ordinance. Rea a few years ago offered to return his share of the boodle to the city. The entire Golden Gate City is enthralled in the gossip and rehashing of the old regime political scandals, and it is expected that the courtroom and corrodors of the cevrts building will be thronged when the court opens tomorrow. It will be the first opportunity San Franciscians have had to glimpse their notorious former boss, Ruef, since he was convicted and sentenced to penal servitude.

On the other hand, Ruef has spent most of his time since his indictment consulting with attorneys, fighting in the courts and working in the jute mill at San Quentin. Tomorrow, when Ruef enters the courtroom, he will see many of his familiars who also have been summoned as witnesses. Among them will be Dr. Charles Boston. Mike W. Cof-

Bleep and Dreams., The brain is more active while engaged in dreaming than when not thus engaged. The only perfect sleep is that which Is dreamless. The moment the sleeper begins to dream he begins to work, and the more vivid and protracted the dream the more Intense, naturally, becomes the work. It Is possible that at no time during the waking hours of life is the brain so active at It is in the strange business of dreaming.
