EXPERTS SURPRISED.The Hunt Loom Attachment
Promises a Revolution inWeaving.
Its Economical Advantages Render Its
Universal Adoption aNecessity.
"Weavers, mechanics and manufacturersare taking a great interest in the new loomattachment; and even capitalists are be-ginning to see the great money-makingpossibilities of this machine.
J. H. Bigelow, master mechanic andformerly superintendent of the Waltbam,Elgin and Springfield Watch Factory, nowowner of the machine works at 10 Steven-son street, in this City, says:
''One would suppose, after the oldmethods of weaving had been in use forthousands of years, that there was littleroom for improvement in the looms, butthe idea of this loom attachment is a newdeparture, ingenious in its simplicity,practical, cheap, efficient and durable. Onegreat point in its favor is its universal ap-plication. Ibelieve itis destined to be themethod of weaving in the future."
Mr. Hunt, the inventor, said: "Myfather was a weaver and in ray young days
IIlearned that business. Isaw the neces-isity and the possibility of an improvement
\u25a0 on the looms in use, and for thirty years I;have worked almost constantly to get an!attachment to a loom that would enable!a loom to run without stopping, and would'• weave witha continuous supply of tilling! thread. Ihave succeeded, ana now anyi one can see it work. We will soon have;others built, and Iwill show you a loom1 that Ican start to weaving at night whenjIgo to bed. and in the morning when IIget up itwillstill be weaving.
'•Aside from the advantages of runningwithout stopping and weaving witha con-
! tinuous tilling thread, there are many:other points of saving. It saves waste,!and power, and labor, and when desired,itplaces inmore than one fillingthread at
, once. Infancy weaving itplaces invariouscolors of fillingthread as the weaver de-isires and does it automatically withoutstopping the loom.
"The points of saving are so ereatthat allj looms must use the attachment. Ithinkitwillnot be long till the weaving of the
1 world will be done with this attachmentIon every loom."
D. M.Seaton, vice-president of the Hunt' Loon; and Fabric Company, was seen ati the office of the company nt 504 Kearny' street, room 10, and said: We have now|one loom with this attachment inopera-;tion and any one can see it. We willbuild;other sample attachments as. soon as pos-j sible. The Lawrence Manufacturing Com-jpany are sending us the latest style of cot-| ton loom on which to place this attach-ment. We expect to run them at 150 picks
Ia minute. These attachments buiit inquantities willcost less than $10 each, andwe can sell them at $100 or we can rentthem at |5 per month. When we think ofthe vast quantities of woven fabrics that
iare made and consumed and of the 8,000,---| 000 looins now running in the world, andIthat this loom attachment saves from 10 toj 20 per cent of the cost of weaving, youj begin to understand the magnitude and!importance of this attachment.
No, our corporation will never be as-| sessed. The 8000 shares of stock we arenow selling at $2 50 per share, will give usall the money we require to carry out our
• plans.To fully realize the value and prospects
j of this attachment a person must under-stand the old methods of weaving and the
!construction of looms now used all overj the world. Each one of these looms stopsI500 times in ten hours. Then look at a| loom with this attachment weaving witha| continuous automatic supply of filling!thread and running all day without stop-ping, and you want to sit down and think.
For the benefit of weavers and millmeniT desire to say that we willrun a ten-foot| wide loom at the rate of ninety picks aiminute and a narrow cotton loom at 100jpicks per minute. :-«.•' ........
Some of our friends have criticized thej speed of the old loom on which we have; first placed this attachment. Let me saythat itkeeps up a steady gait of sixty-fivepicks per minute and before Christmas itwillrun at ninety.
Come and see itany day at 3 o'clock atj 209 Capp street, and Iwillshow you the!greatest money-making machine in this
world.» \u2666 »

RABBI HELD FOR FORGERYThe Rev. P. H. Schweitz Is
Detained Under $20,000
Bonds.
FOUR CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
Three Corner-Grocery Men Testify ThatThey Were Given Worthless
Checks.
Rev. P. H. Schweitz appeared beforeJudge Conlan yesterday morning for hispreliminary examination on four chargesof forgery preferred against him, and afterthe hearing of the testimony was placedunder bonds of $20,000.
William Be Dell, the railroad agent, andthree grocers testified as to their being therecipients from Schweitz of worthlesscheeks, each check bearing the signature
of a certain E. L.Berg, whose existenceyet seems purely mythical.
Schweitz entered the courtroom withtimid, hesitating steps. His sallow facegrew gradually redder as the hearing of thecase proceeded. He looked around rue-
fully from behind his spectacles withcolorless eyes and a vertical scowl betweenthem became deeper and reached uphigherlike a barometer of trouble, and if faciallines are indicative of the mind, behind hisdual nature was plainly apparent; thewrinkle on the forehead divided his headin two.
Attorneys Tamru and Treadwell ap-peared for the accused.
The first witness called was William BrDell. He stated : "On November <> of thisyear Schweitz came into my ofiice andmade inquiries regarding half rates thatare granted ministers. The next day hereturned and purchased a ticket present-ingme a check for $15. Ilooked at thecheck and said, 'This is not signed byvou?' He replied that the name L. E.l3erg on the face of the paper was that ofa secretary of some Christian association.1 then accepted the check and signed itand sent it by a Doy in the office to theNevada Bank to get it cashed. The clerkof the bank returned the check and sentback word that L.E. Berg had no accountthere and the check was worthless.""Did you know Sehweitz?" asked At-
torney Mogan."No,Inever saw the party before he
came into my otlice November 6. He wasindorsed by other barties however, so Idid not suspect anything."
"Did lie come as represented by theclergy?" asked Tread'vell.
"Yen, Itold him we could give him aticket only to Chicago and from there hewould have to purchase again for fartherEast, as the Southern Pacific only giveshalf-rate tickets that far."
George G. Grant, assistant cashier of theNevada Bank, next took the stand andidentified the check as the one given him."Itwas presented to me by a young man,"said he, "and Ireturned it saving that L.E. Berg had no account in the bank."
In the cross-examination Mr. Grant testi-fied that he never knew L. E. Berg andthat L.EL Berg had never had any accountthere.
"And 1have been employed by the bankfor thirteen years," added he.
Atthis po'int Treadwell made a motionthat the case be dismissed on the groundthat the prosecution had not proved theinvalidity of the check. The motion wasdenied.
John D. Feldton of 800 Haight street,who deals ingroceries and liquors, testifiedthat on or about November 16 Sehweitzcame into his store and said he would liketo telephone to the Baldwin Hotel. "Ishowed him the telephone and after hefinished talking he asked me ifIwouldchange a check of $10 for him onthe Nevada Hank. Isaid, 'Put your nameon it,'and he wrote S. H.Scliweitz; thenIgave him the money. This was on sun-day. He gave me hiscard so that 1couldknow where he lived.
"Iwent down a day or two later to thebank and they told me there that tiiecheck was worthless. The cashier saidthere was no money there for L.E. Berer."
Mr. Grant, the assistant cashier, tookthe stand and identified this check also.
Another grocer, John M. Blohm of 608Haight street, testified that on or aboutNovember 16 Schweitz came into his storeand asked him to ca?h a check of $10."Itold him that Idid not do that kind
of a thing. Then he said he owed abutcher on the block, and finally,aftertalking with him a while, Ipaid him andhe indorsed the check. Itwas on the Ne-vada Bank and had the name ofL. E. Bergon its face.
"The rext day Igave it to a wholesalecommission-house on Market street. Theirbookkeeper returned it to me and said itwas worthless."
Mr.(Irant likewise, as he had done withthe previous checks, identilied this as theone presented him by a clerk of BrighamHopps &Co.'s commission house.
"Trie check came into my hands in theusual way for collection," said Mr.Grant."Ireturned itwith the tag: 'L. E. Berg hasno account.'
"On cross-examination he was asked:"Can you swear ifL.E. Berg signed that
check? 1'
"No, 1do not know.""Can you swear if Mr. Schweitz signed
the check?""No,Ido not know that, either."The last witness was another grocer,
John T. Tide man, southeast corner ofHaiehtand Fillmore streets.
"On or about November 16 this man,"pointing to Schweitz, who looked at hisaccuser with agonizing earnestness, "cameinto my store, and my wife called medown. He said that the butcher had senthim to me to get a check cashed. Isup-posed the check was all right and cashedit. Itwas for $10. AfterwardItook itto
the Nevada Bank, and the cashier saidthere was no money there for L.E. Berg."
Mj. Grant identified the check, and re-peated that he had no knowledge what-ever of L. E. Berg.
Judge Conlan placed the unfortunateand unhappy clergyman under bonus of
$5000 for each charge of forgery, making$20,000 in all."Iwould suggest, your Honor," said Mr.
Tamm, "that the defendant is in a strangeland and among a strange people. Heconcedes that at present his good name isheavily clouded, but hopes soon to clearit, and if the bonds were reduced to whatwe would consider a reasonable amount hewould be able to give them, and couldthen put forward better efforts in his ownbehalf.""Ihave taken the case under advise-
ment." aaid the Judge, "and Ibelieve thebonds are none too heavy."

DAIRYMEN IN TROUBLE.An Opposing Faction Springs
Up in the Milkmen'sAssociation.
It Is Said That an Effort Will Be
Made to Abolish InspectorDockery's Office.
Disorder exists in the ranks of the Milk-men's Association, and itis ail due to theeffective work of MilkInspector James P.Dockery. There are two opposing fac-tions, and they profess to be working to-ward the same end
—the suppression of the
sale of skim milk.Itappears, however, that some twenty
or more milk-dealers will attempt to form
an independent association, with the oneobject of doing away with milk inspectionaltogether. They claim that certain mem-bers of the Milkmen's Association are al-lowed much greater license than the lawprovides, particularly in the matter ofselling skim milk. Itis their purpose, asgiven out by them, to stop this, and alsoto see that partiality is shown none.
The leader of this element is M. John-son of the firmof Johnson &Brown. Heis supported by dairymen, all members ofthe Milkmen's Association, there namesbeing as follows:
P. F. E. Steiner, Bacher & Co., WilliBros.,Fairer Bros., Frank Marti, B.Casson, SarthouTrebncq, Klorni & Andrea. Bowman <fc Bow-man, Kussie it Regli, Jacob Ilein,P. Canban,Frank Sembertrant, J. Kennel, Antone Simon& Co., J. Zwissig. John Tschman, August Pon-tacq and Peter Pallason.
A majority of the dairymen creditedwith being anxious to form a new associa-tion have been arrested by Mr. Dockeryfor selling impure milk. Itfollows thatthey have no great amount of affectionfor the new Milk Inspector, hence anymovement tending to cripple the effective-ness of his work must meet their appro-bation.Itis the purpose of the proposed asso-
ciation to raise such a sum of mo*iey aswill effectually kill the office of MilkInspector. Jr.st how this money is to bespent is not apparent at the present time.Itwillbe remembered by those who keeptrack of the Health Department that thelast board appointed J. F. Johnson MilkInspector at a salary of $150 a month.
