PRISON MADE GRAIN BAGS.
Changers Urge a Reduction in the
Price Fixed Thereon.
A Committee From the State Grange
Calls Upon the Governor and
Asks Him to Interfere.

Yesterday afternoon G.. P. Berry of
Yuba County, Senator Ostrom of Suffer
and j. D. Huffman of San Joaquin, ap-
committee representing the State
Grange-to urge reduction in the price
of grain bags as fixed by the State Prison
Directors. The latter board recently es-
tablished the price at 7s cents per bag. r.
T. Devlin, President of the Prison Board,
was present at the conference.
''What we want" said Mr.. Ostrom, sis
that the entire output of sacks shall be
placed at the disposal of the farmers of
the State. and that they shall be offered
for sale at lower price than that fixed by
the State Prison Directors.
"We claim that the price fixed is in ex-
cess-considerably in excess-Of what it
should be. We claim that we should
have the sacks at the very lowest price
that the State can afford. We ask that the
sacks be distributed to the actual con-
sumner, and that the majority of them
may not be gobbled up by the jute ring
that has existed in San Francisco for
years"
Mr.. Devlin said that this year the prison
at San Quentin would probably turn out
one and a half millions of bags. For
bnI60 years pdSb IuS pO1lCy Vi the Dl-
rectors had been to sell sacks direct to the
consumers. The only way outsiders
have got possession of sacks is by buying
them from farmers themselves. The
Changers Store in Sacramento never
bought sack from San Quentin direct,
but purchased them from farmers who
had bought TOO many.
Continuing, Mr.. Devlin said: "There
is going to be a shortage of grain bags
and we think they will run up to ten or
twelve cents. They are selling to-day in
San Francisco for from seven and one
half to seven and three-fourths. With
out something unforeseen happens to
shorten crops, at least 30,000,000 bags will
be needed in the State. J. B. Haggin will
probably want l50, 900, John Boggs 75. 900,
and so on. and if they call on us and say,
I'VE want $4,000 sacks each; we are actual
producers what can we reply ?'
Some remarks were made by Messrs.
Berry and Huffman in line with what
Mr.. Ostrom had said, and Governor
Markham expressed a desire to have the
matter settled in a way that would be
satisfactory to all concerned.
He requested the committee to put their
views in writing for presentation 10 the
State Prison Directors.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
"GrOs Jean," an Aged Frenchman,
Killed On the Railroad.
He Walked in Front of the Folsom
Evening Train, and Was Struck
by the Locomotive.

An old Frenchman known as "GTos
Jean" was killed at 5 o'clock last evening
by being struck by the locomotive of the
outgoing Folsom train.
The train had just reached the Twelfth
street crossing, on r street, when the old
man stepped upon the track a few yards
ahead of the train and started to walk in
the same direction it was going. The
whistle was blown and the bell rung, but
he paid no heed to the warning, and be-
fore the train could be stopped the loco
motive struck and knocked him off the
track.
Engineer Waldron stopped the train as
soon as he could and backed down to
where the unfortunate man lay beside
the track. The latter was found TO be
bleeding from terrible wounds about the
head, and was unconscious.
He was placed in the express car and
the train started back for the Receiving
Hospital at Front and | streets. The
injured man died, however, before the
hospital was reached. The body was
taken off the car there and the Coroner
sent for. His skull was found to have
been fractured
The deceased had, it was learned, been
spending the DAY at the mouse or friend,
one Frank Forgous, at Fourteenth and s
streets, and shortly before the accident
occurred left there for the home Of his
daughter, Mrs. Lansing. The suppo-
sltlon is that he had been drinking.
But one person called at the Alorgue to
view the body last evening, and the only
name by which he knew the deceased
was that given, "Gros Jean," which,
however, seemed to indicate the nick
name Of big john" The deceased,
however, was very small man.
He formerly kept barber-shop at 500
X street, but was burned out year or so
ago, since which time he has not been en-
gagged in any business, his eyesight hav
ing nearly failed him. He was 81 years
old, and very feeble, and it is possible his
hearing was defective, as well as his eye
sight.
Coroner Clark will probably hold an
inquest on the body to-day.

LABOR DISCUSSIONS.
An Open Meeting of the Carpenters
and Laborers' Unions.
The Products of Prison Labor Opposed
Necessity of Educating
the Laborer.

The Carpenters and Laborers' Unions
held Joint session at Federation Hall
last evening, and after attending to some
routine business, opened the doors for an
open meeting to which outsiders were
invited.
President Cooley of the Laborers'
Union presided, and called upon various
persons for speeches. j. A. Sheehan, of
the Newspaper Writer'S Union, said the
open session idea was a good one, as it
gave persons who belonged to no labor
organization an opportunity to see the
advantages of unionism. He referred to
the necessity of inviting those persons to
be present at these meetings and edu-
eating them in the work of organized
labor. The impression had gone abroad,
said the speaker, that labor had organ
lied for the purpose of expressing capital,
enterprises, and laborers themselves, and
that the organizations work harm to
themselves rather than good. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Strikes
were cases of necessity, and were not in
dulged in for amusement. They were
not for the purpose of squeezing out OF
capital more than its investment en-
titles it to. Some argue that the "scab"
who takes a union mans place should be
allowed 10 go on uninterrupted. But the
''scab' is an enemy to society, and should
be treated as such. One OF the principles
of labor organizations was fairness to
employers, and if that principle was adj
hered to on both sides, both would get
along. In conclusion, the speaker said
that there was no doubt that labor had
often stood in its own light by not edu-
eating itself as to the advantages OF union
ism. If the shoemaker is doing well he
sometimes cares not how the carpenter
fares-and vice versa. But the spirit
should be just the opposite.
j. ID. Jost spoke briefly, compliment
ing the Newspaper Writer'S Union, and
adding his mite to the cause of labor. 1t
might take years, he said, for labor to be-
come king, but it would eventually
achieve that object.
d. j. Dunn spoke with reference to
prison labor. He was opposed to it so
far as it came into competition with free
labor. The class of articles produced at
the State prisons were also produced out
side of prison, and should not be allowed
TO go into competition. There was plenty
of work that could be done by criminals
without injuring free labor.
Mr.. Sheehan said that Governor Mark
ham was anxious that the Federation
should give him their views fully on the
subject. The Governors idea was not
that the prison products should interfere
with free labor, but he was in favor OF
teaching the criminals trades, so that
when they went out into the world again
there would be no excuse for their con-
tinuing to be criminals.
w. j. Hardy of the Freight Handlers
Union took issue with the Governor
idea. He said that no man with any self
respect would work with a criminal, and
no labor union would knowingly accept
one as a member.

An Unknown Man Found Dead Near

An Unknown Man Found Dead Near
Willow Creek.
Several days ago the remains Of an un-
known man were found in deserted
cabin on Willow Creek, near Folsom. 1t
is believed that he died of exposure, as he
was seen trudging through Folsom in a
heavy storm the day before his body was
found, and he appeared to be quite ex-
hausted then. At the inquest, however,
it was found that death resulted from
natural causes.
The body is that of man about 60 years
of age, with gray hair and chin whiskers.
The only articles found on the body
that might serve to identify it were a
Bible and memorandum-b book. On the
t1y-leaf ofthe Bible was written, Thomas
Hoskins, Sacramento County," while in
the memorandum-book was written in
several places, "Mabel Foley, Pleasanton,
Alameda County," A silver watch was
also among the effects. The deceased was
roughly dressed.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Tonight, at the Metropolitan Theater,
the distinguished actor, Frederick Warde,
who is so highly esteemed in this city,
will appear in perhaps the strongest part
he plays, the drama being Damon and
Pythias." Mr.. Warde stands in the fore
most rank of the few great dramatic eX-
ponents of the age. In private life, las
upon the stage, he is an eXemplar of up
rightness and cleanliness. Few men of
his age have done more TO uplift the
drama and give character and tone to the
stage. His method is refined, classical
and abreast with the severest demands
for excellence. There is a fervor, a
warmth, an abandon in naturalness in
his style that only the very few equal,
for the great actors of the day are to be
numbered by count upon the fingers.
In Damon and Pythiasn he imparts
more of warmth and gives more of
color to his part without OVERRIDING
than any living artist. As in ''Virginiusp
his soul enters into the part; the tender
ness and depth of feeling he manifests is
not all stimulation, they spring from a
fount of real emotion and are the off
spring of the heart. Mr.. Warde's success
in San Francisco the last two weeks has
been something especially notable in the
annals of dramatic history in that city.
The metropolis has given no artist more
critical or representative audiences, and
his engagement has been one of con-
stantly full houses. The same ought to
be true here, and the legitimate, as pre-
scented by Mr.. Warde and his excellent
support, so Endorsed by large audiences
as to encourage managers to address
themselves more to the task of putting
