session shall be placed in solitary confne-
ment for six months and shall have his
credits taken away, as the board may de-
termine. The resolution was adopted.
Warden W. S. Hale presented his report.
1t stated that the jutemill was rapidly
nearing completion and that it would be
ready for occupation about the end of May.
President E. j. Depue called the attention
of the board to the fact that the time was
drawing near for awarding the contracts for
supplies. He suggested that samples of
what was needed be prepared aud cOntrac-
tors be asked to give estimates on goods
equal to the samples.
Charles Sonntag did not think that the
plan would work very well. 1t would sim
plify matters very much, but he was Of the
opinion that goods that would answer
equally as we'll could be purchased cheaper
under the present plan by letting c0ntrac-
tors furnish samples with their contracts.
He said cheaper goods would do just as well
at the prison as the better grades. He
thought the goods furnished the prison
were too good anyway, and cheaper stuff
should be bought.
1t was resolved, however. to procure SAM
pies and have the contracts based on the
quality of the goods shown.
The Warden in his report said that there
was on hand 800, 900 sacks which had been
manufactured at the jutemill and which
were ready for sale. They had cost exactly
1884 cents each to manufacture. 1t was
decided by the Commissioners to offer them
for sale at exactly l cent each more than 1t
cost 10 make them,

PRISONERS OPIUM.
Plenty in the Prison at
San Quentin.
The Directors Propose to Work {
Reformation With the Aid of
Heavy Punishments.

Opium smuggling has become so common
at the San Quentin State Prison. and so
Ekiilful are its manipulators that the Off
cisls and guards have more than they can
do 10 keep il away from the conYicts.
The Prison Commissioners at their meet
ing yesterday at Sau Quentin decided to
take strong measures to prevent its use by
the prisoners and stop It's being brought
into the prison.
One Of the prisoners named German was
caught about two weeks ago with about a
pound OF the drug In his coat pocket as he
was going into The jailyard after his days
work in the brlckyard. His term in prison
would have expired In tbirty-fYe days, but
for Ms offense the Commissioners took
away eighteen months Of his credits, and 1t
Will be we'll on toward the end of next year
before he gets out.
Another prisoner named Arthur, who
was serving a twenty-year sentence for
highway robbery, WAS caught selling opium
20 his companions. He said that there was
plenty Of the drug within the prison walls,
and that several of the prisoners made 4
fair profit dealing in it. There was con-

ers and when he go, out Of opium he would
shoot craps and win enough 10 purchase a
fresh supply. He also forfeited eightee n
months of his credit gains.
The facts in these two cases aroused the
Commissioners, and how to put a stop to
opium smuggling was the question.
The Warden was instructed to- make a
thorough search OF the prison and prisoners
for both honey and opium.
Commissioner Devln offered a resolution
that all games Of chance among the prison.
ers should be stopped and that any guard
or official who allows such game TO take
place among the prisoners under his super
vision shall be Immediately discharged.

standing room only" would have been a
good sign to have been placed at the en-
trance to the Pavilion last night.
1t WAS the closing night OF the exhibit and
fully 5000 people were in attendance.
The programme of entertainment was
particularly fine, the st. Mary's College
Band being repeatedly encored. as was the
singing of the boys under Brother Hosea.
Several new candy stands had to be
erected last night, and the way money came
in seemed to be a good criterion as to the
success OF the exhibition in financial way.
An effort was made to run the exhibit
Monday night, but the Pavilion could not
be secured.
One of the many booths admired last
night was that of 81. Mary's Parochial
School of Oak kIand. II is conducted by the
brothers Of the Christian School and the
sisters Of the Holy Name under the minis
tering care of the Rev Father KIM. who may
well be proud OF the talent exhibited by Its
youthful members. The work in general
manifests great interest on the part of both
teachers and pupils, the specimens of pen
manship being particularly good.
Nothing but practical class work was ex-
hibiled. The method Of illustrating history,
geography, arithmetic, etc, is especially
adapted to impress upon the minds of the
pupils the facts Of Importance intended to
be taught. The manner in which the prac-
lcai arithmetic IS Taught is worthy OF note,
The children have drawn plans according
10 a given scale, carpeted, plastered and
papered the rooms, etc.
The booth Of Inc parish school of North
TemeScal also deserves favorable mention.
The work of the pupils of the Day Home
attracted hundreds 1t seems almost inl-
probable that children of such tender years
should be capable of doing such GOOD work.
ThelSt J0seph's Orphan Asylum has on
exhibition the work of its little charges, and
the specimens of handseWing by children OF
eleven and twelve years is truly wonderful.
The school is under the care of the Sisters
of Charity The education of the children
begins at the early age of years and is in
charge of the sisters until the children reach
the ages Of 10 to u years. The boys are
then sent to San Rafael and the girls 10 the
Technical School.
This sch0ol-the Technical Colleges
under the patronage of Mrs. j. j. O'Brien.
The work deserves especial mention.
There are some wonderfully beautiful
and elaborate productions Of the embr0id-

was wheeled out by Mr.. Mccoy.
Secretary Mccoy delivered the statement
Of the financial conditions under which the
association begins building. which has al
ready been printed in these columns. He
emphasized the fact that the association
needed between $4,000 and S50,000 more
than is now in sight. in order to complete
The editice free of debt. He also made an
appeal to the friends of the institution to
come forward with contributions to make
up an extra $500 TO defray the expense Of
printing and circulating a book describing
the plans and purposes Of the splendid
gymnasium that will be constructed in the
new building.

Rev. j. Q. A Henry, pastor OF the First

address on ''The relation of this enterprise

He said in part:

FOX THE WINNER.
Judge Slack Practically
Exonerates Him.
Oscar SteeFs Case Against NJ. w. Fox
and the West Consolidated Vir-
ginia Company Ended.

Judgment for defendants has been given
by Judge Slack In the case of Oscar Steel
against NJ. w. Fox and other directors of
the West Consolidated Virginia Mining
Company.
# is held that the %. 1870 shares of stock,
and no more, rghtfuly belong to Steel, and
that no fraud has been committed by Fox
and his associates. This is practically a
victory for Fox.
In his decision Judge Slack says:
In my Judgment plaintiff has not established
the char yes OF fraud by that clear and satisfac-
tory evidence which IS required. The charge Of
fraud Ia the inception Of the contract is not sus-
tanned. II any fraudulent misrepIeSentations

shown that Curtis reported such msrepTesenl H.

that that was procured by fraud, and evidence

himself goes to establish very conclusyely TO
my mind hat there was no fraud al all IN the
giving of that order. He says Curtis wanted the
stock ana lie gave II to him.
As TO the 2, $50 shares OF stock turned over 10
Brown and Fox, IL seems TO me that the charges
OF fraud concerning the obtaining OF that order
have not been established.
As TO the failure Of consideration some ethlr 9
has been done by the parties. There was, there
lore, no Total failure Of consideration ana con-
sequenily as / understand II, there can be no
