JUPITER'S new SATELLITE.
A Remarkable Discovery Of
the Century.
The Thoughts of the Scientific World Turned
Toward Lick obssrvatory-Prcfessor
Barnsrd's Keen Vision.

The discovery by Professor Barnard oi
the Lick Observatory Of fifth satellite to
Jupiter is one of the remarkable discov.
cries of the century.
1t was on January 7, 1910, that Calico. in
his observatory at Padua. was supposed to
have discovered all of Jupiter's satellites,
which he named respectively 10, Europa,
Ganymede and Callisto.
And it is not till after the lapse of nearly
three Centuries that it has been discovered
three is a fifth satellite.
1t would be a fitting honor to name th
new satellite Barnard, TO perpetuate the
name of its disc0verer.
Professor Davidson thinks that the fft
satellite must be less than 100 miles in diam
eter. Its location is about one and hall
diameters from Jupiter, or 112. 400 miles,
which makes it the nearest to the planet OF
any of the five satellites.
On the night the discovery was made the
planet was $40, 800, 600 miles from the earth.
1t showed remarkable keenness OF vision
for Professor Barnard to see this small sat
elite, so near and In the light Of the great
planet. He may now look outside the bright
satellites of Jupiter for a sixth. In this
way Hyperion, one of Saturn's satellites,
was discovered.
Astronomers will now watch to see the
possible action OF this new satellite and its
gravitation effect on satellites near
All over the civilized world, in all tale-
scopes greater than nine inch, astronomers,
amateur and professional. are looking for
Juplter's new satellite. and many are no
doubt wondering why they failed to dis
cover it and earn undying fame.
1t Is thought possible that it may have
been seen before, but never long enough to
enable a crack observer to see the difference
between body shining by reflected light
and star.
Surprise is felt in astronomical circles
that the news of the discovery should have
been known in New York before it was
known In San Francisco.

AGENT LEEDS is HAPPY
And the Traffic Association
Is Pleased.
Reports as TO Clipper Ships and the Salt
Lake Railroad - A Reduction in
Freight Rates by Rail.

1--WE had a very pleasant and highly salts
factory meeting this afternoon" said
Manager Leeds after the adjournment OF
the monthly meeting Of the Traffic AssOcla-
tion's executive board yesterday.
"The first matter considered was the clip
per ships. aud the reports made were highly
gratifying"
Mr.. Leeds then gave general account Of
what had been done at the meeting.
He explained tnat the executive commit
tee is still actively engaged in securing
additional means whereby the rival clip.
pers and steamers can be used for long
time to come
They are secured now for ten years, but
It is the intention to extend that time and t O
make the new lines 30 independent as tc
establish them for a much longer period.
Several plans by which this can be accom-
plished were submitted, and one Of them
will shortly be adopted.
The report from the membership CON-
mittee said that there have been voluntary
and unsolicited additions to the rolls OF
late. which plainly shows that the mer-
chants are in sympathy with the work OF
the association.
Preliminary arrangements for the annual
meeting of the association, which will be
held on October 26, were discussed.
The board also consumed considerable
time in reviewing the affairs connected with
the Great Salt Lake Railroad. 1t was re-
ported that matters are very satisfactory
and that the prospects Of the new road are
very bright.
Mr.. Leeds reported that he had interested
himself personally In the Salt Lake scheme.
and his action was unanimously indorSed in
that direction.
President Baker Of the merchants guar
anty fund was in very good spirits after the
meeting Of the Traffic Associations officers,
of which he is one.
"The clipper ships are all right" said
he. 1.-THE Reed is loading In New York
and will be ready to sail in about ten days,
and the Packard is also taking in a cargo in
the same port aud she will not be far behind
the Reed in sailing"
So according to this there win be four
rival clipper ships on the way from New
York TO this city within two weeks. for two
of them are already somewhere on the high
seas bound for San Francisco.
The Southern Pacific Company announces
that on and after September II freight rates
between California common points and
Colorado points will be reduced On coffee
and on explosives.
The freight tariff on green coffee in car
load dots will be at the rate of 81 o. per 100
pounds instead OF 81 20 as heretofore.
High explosives are reduced TO 81 80 from
SO, and fuse In less than carload lots to
81 90 from So per 100 pounds.

wearing mortar-b0ards with a heliotrope
tassel.
What was the meaning of this innova-
tion?
Were they to be deprived of their sole
and inalienable right 10 sport the mortar
board?
Such were the questions that the sopho-
mOres asked each other.
Their doubts were quickly set at rest.
The Juniors boldly declared that they
were just as much entitled TO show people
that they were students at the Varsity as
the sOphomores and they were going TO
wear the mortar board whether the sopho-
mores like it or not.
They had no right to object as the hello
trope tassel would indicate the difference in
the classes.
This was too much for the sophomores.
The gauntlet was thrown down and they
promptly picked it up.
Then ensued a struggle which was
watched breathlessly by the male sup
porters OF the rival factions.
The sophOmOTes' tactics were to treat the
juniors with cool contempt.
They never spoke as they passed by.
When a sophomore met junior on the
campus her lip curled and with naughty
toss of her head and cold, stony stare she
passed her junior sister by.
The effects of this persistent, superciliOus
treatment soon began to tell
Inc more sensitive OF the juniors became
disgusied at strgtting around in borrowed
plumes aud being kept at arms length by
their sister students.
They dotted the mortar-board with the
heliotrope tassel, and felt gay and happy in
again donning the charming creations OF
their milIineTs.
As each junior capitulsted Joy reigned In
the breasts of the sophomores, and a fresh
Incentive was given them to keep up the
struggle with unrelen ting zeal.
Now. there are only two jnniors who snap
their fingers in derision at the sophomores
and continue to violate the established Gus
ton.
1t is only question Of time when these
two will be forced TO surrender.
So say the sOphomores, and the juniors
will be taught lesson that they Will never

Messrs j. T. Bevan, c. w. Stose. Frank
Hammon and w, Nj. Doty, Of Blggs. took
a trip to Big Meadows, Hot Spring Valley
and Mount Lassen this summer. They are
enthusiastic In describing the magnificent
scenery Of Mount Lassen and the marvel
ous scenes of Hot Spring Valley at Devils
Kitchen, Devils Lake and the boiling gey-
sers. They had hard time to ascend Mount
Lassen, but Professor Bevan declares that
they came down about two miles on the
snow in very few seconds. 1t was their
first descent and they did not realize with
what terrible velocity they would descend if
they slid on the snow. Eacn gos a piece Of
lumber sat on it, and headed il endwise
down the mountain. To their surprise
and terror. they went like a bullet from
a Winchester rife. and had very
perious trip down to the snow limit.
They say that the boiling hot springs, Of
which there are many and the lot OF
geysers and lakes gave them as good an
idea of the old biblical purgatory as they
care 10 receive. They agree that the
section visited is one of the most wonder
full in the United States. The boiling lake
covers about two acres and will cook an
egg in the regulation time. The geysers
shoot boiling water at times twenty feet high
and milling sound like that of machinery
is felt and heard beneath the surface.
A sad incident occurred at the geysers.
Frank La Shell OF Biggs was there and had
mouth into the hot water below the geysers
and jerked it out with yell. Being much
excited, he jumped into the geyser and was
swallowed up in the boiling fluid. dying and
disappearing instantly. Mr.. La Shell wept
over the loss of his favorite dog.
The gentlemen had any quantity of game
aud fish and greatly enjoyed their trip.
Undoubtedly the time will come when that
section will be visited by many thousands

Miss Darlington offered to 90 and see
whether Mrs. MeCartby's spouse. who is
known by the name OF "Bertie" Goodwin,
was in her house, and as she turned from
the door Mrs. Mccarthy grabbed her by the
hair, and pulling the Darlington woman's
head back made slash at her throat with
a razor.
The razor caught Miss Darlington on the
cheek. cutting a cash from the corner of
her mouth to her ear, making wound that
will disfgure her for life.
The maddened woman made second
slash at her victim, but Miss Darlington
caught the blade Of the razor in her hand,
saving her life, but the frenzied woman
drew the knife through her hand. infiicting
serious wound that may in time cause her
rival the loss OF the use Of her arm.
Mrs. Goodwin declines to discuss the
matter other than to say, as stated. that the
woman she carved had stolen her husband
from her, and she cut her to get even.
Mrs Goodwin is held on a charge of an

AN ARREST BY THE ELISOR.
Sheriff Laumeister Gathered
In by the Coroner,
But Writ Of Habeas Corpus Is Soon Issued
and the Sheriff Walks Away
Free Man.

The somewhat unusual event Of the
Sheriff of the city and county OF San Fran
cisco being placed under arrest took place
yesterday.
The day before Judge Murphy had de-
cided to commit the Sheriff TO jail Tor
twenty-four hours in order to allow him an
opportunity of pondering over the enormous

Coroner Garwood. In some doubt as to
whether his greeting were not too common
aud everyday Tor such an occasion.
"Glad to see you," returned Sheriff Lau-
meister, genlally.

duty" continued Garwood.

Attorney Dorm was in attendance and he,

Judge Wallace's chambers.
The Judge has not been well, but was
willing to attend to any necessary business.
Attorney Dorm presented a petition for
a writ of habeas corpus Tor Sheriff Lau-
meiSter's release.
1t had been thought that the petition
would be presented to the Supreme Court,
but as the latter requires that all Superior
Court remedies should be exhausted before
its resources are tried Dorm had anticipated
by going first to Judge Wallace.
The petition stated that Laumeister had
been admitted by Judge Murphy not TO be

of the Sherifs good faith in not hanging

Another ground for asking for the writ
was that the commitment of Sheriff i'm
piled a penalty that was excessive in that it

A MORTAR. BOARD FIGHT.
An Exciting Struggle Betwe,n the Girl

gear Question.
A MORTAR. BOARD FIGHT.

A sharp struggle Is going on between the
sophomore and junior girls OF the State Uni
yersty.
It all arose over that odd headgear, the
mOrtar-board.
In foreign universities the mortar board
is used by all classes. In most of them the
gown is also worn.
At the State University the custom has
been, and is. for the headgear to denote the
class TO which the student belongs.
For instance, with the male students, the
juniors wear gray stovepipe hat. The
seniors don the more dgnified black silk
hat. The sophom0res have the distinctive
mark of the mortar board. The freshmen
are content with common stiff or soft felt
or straw, whatever appeals TO the taste Of
the wearer.
1t is therefore easy to distinguish one class
from another.
In like manner, the sweet girl students
had code OF ethics which was faithfully
observed until the opening of the present
term.
1t was that the sophomores should wear
the mortar board with a black tassel AS a
distinguishing mark. the juniors being salts
fed with the sweet things that the deft
fingers of their millnerS provided for their
head adOrnment.

A FORTY-FOOH SHARK seen.
Old San Jose JOe's Mate
Found at Last.
Seen by Several Officers Of Pacific Mail
steauers-Are These Monster Sharks

The steamer City Of New York, which
arrived Yesterday morning, did not bring
much in the way Of general news. but some
Of her officers had the pleasure of inter
viewing at close range shark which has
not been duplicated since "Old San Jose
Joe" gave up the ghost about three years
ago.
1t will be recalled that Old Joe was cap
tured and. OF course, killed by the sailors
of the United States steamer Ranger In
the waters of San Jose de Guatemala. lie
had hitherto resisted all efforts to capture
OF destroy him and actually survived the
effects of a dynamite bomb, which blew a
three-foot hole in his side. More than
year eIapsed before the K aDger's boats
crew finally brought him to book after thls
attempt had been made.
Old Joe was known TO every vessel sail
ing in and out Of the port OF San Jose de
Guatemala He was known bstter than he
was trusted. His length when killed was
found 10 be 80 feet 7 inches. A curiosity
about the monster WAS that he had always
cIuised alone, preierriDg the deep water, a
mile and half or two miles from the shore,
TO the breakers underneath the iron pier OF
San Jose, in which tile smaller sharks basE.
II was rare, indeed that Old San Jose Joe
went mile to sea or up and down the
from all accounts he had kept up the patrol
for thirty years at least. Also when killed
he was found to be toothess and blind. yet
he never missed an incoming ship. or the
bulshead breakfast, which was mostly a
single gulp TO him.
The purser and freight clerk OF the City
of New York aver that an even larger shark
than Old San Jose Joe is on the old cruising
grounds at the Guatemala port. They say
that the new monster is forty feet long If an
inch. and in all other respects the own iden-
tical mate Of Old Joe. Like that defunct
prodigy, the new monster despises ordinary
lures and does not seem to be much Oh
man-eater.
"Acaiutla, San Jose and Champerico are
the great shark ports" said the purser oil
the New York yesterday. ut rarely hap
pens that we come away without catching a
shark in one Of these three. The biggest
sharks are at San Jose and there are come
large ones at Panama. But ] don't believe
either Old San Jose Joe, which l had seen
scores of times, or his new mate could be a
man-eater. 1t Is said to be boneless shark
without teeth"
The purser was asked IL be would jump
overheard and try in the interests of science
He declined the proffer Of immortal fame,
