although deeirous of having his reeolu-
ton In regard to state division taken
up, was induced to forego the matter
until the new association is in working
shape.
Mr.. Mason introduced the subject by
moving that the present road law be en-
dorsed. He said that there are rumors
floating about in regard to proposed
changes in the new road law.
Il understand" said Mr.. Mason, THAT
there is q proposition on foot to repeal
the new law and return to the old road
overseer system; also. that it is proposed
putting county surveyors in charge OF
road work; still another amendment
spoken of is the appointing OF a road
commission by the state. This ia all
wrong, and we cannot get into the teld
too early in order to prevent this"
Mr.. Armor of Orange county and Mr..
Thompaon OF Riverside stated that they
believed that with the supervisors in
control of the roads counties can save
50 per cent. There are some defects in
the law. the speakers thought, that
should be amended, such es the abso-
lutte cash eystem. They believed that
some method should be adopted where's
by a needy man should be allowed to
work out his road tax.

under the old regime when road over

HENRY AND GRUNDY.
HENRY GOT THE MONEY AND
GRUNDY THE EXPERIENCE.
Clever swindIing Operations OF a Col
lection Agency Alleged to
Have Fieeoed Many
Persons.

II reports are true, Frank Henry is a
confidence operator OF the first water.
Several weeks ago he and a man named
H. Z. Grumpy opened a collection agency
at 243% South Spring street. A the
thing stands now, Henry has the money
and Grundy has the experience.
The facts OF the confidence operation
were brought out yesterday by the filing
OF q complaint in the police court charg-
ing H,nry with stealing S45 worth of
clothing. His wife. d. l.. Boyd and
Henry Leroy are also charged with the
crime.
Henry and his wife leased the lodging
house at 815 Ramona avenue. and the
other persons were his guests. Grundy
also lived there, but has recently found
1T more satisfactory in some other
quartere.
According to Grundy's story. Henry
worked the land-locating racket on the
quiet. Grundy had put $l25 in the
business, but evidently saw nothing OF
Henry's schemes.
The operator sdveftieed government
land locations near Lancaster, and OBJ
tanned from $25 to $50 from each person
who expressed desire to take up the

money from l. A. Whitcomb and

TOO MANY AGAINST HIM.
Why the state division resolution pre-
pared by Delegate Mason of San Diego
and the matter OF harbor location were
not brought up can be explained when
it is stated that Mr.. Nasou's colleagues
and members OF the convention from
this and other counties insisted that he
let the matter pass. Mr.. Mason was 10th
to do so, inasmuch as state division is
one OF that gentleman'a fondest hopes.
He simply wanted the endorsement OF
his resolution, as published exclusively
in the HERALD of yesterday, by the con-
gress. 1t is Mr.. Nason's idea to fight
this proposition from now on, but in
view of the sentiment expressed by
majority Of the delegates to the congress
he saw it would be useless to urge it,
"rhe time is ripe for putting this
proposition forward" said Mr.. N ason,

About a Great Reformer.

Rev. Mr.. Hutchins has materially
added to his reputation as pulpit
orator. His discourse on Martin
Luther, at the Central Union
Church last evening, was an able
effort. Luther's crusade was a
reformation par excellence, and it
was wildly pictured by Rev. Mr..
Hutchins. The speaker took his
hearers through the journey of
Luther's life as a publicist. The
beginning was when, even as a
student, he began to doubt the
mother church. The elimination
of this was when he nailed his
thesis to a door in a German viii
lage and defied all who sought to
stop his course. Then the Refor-
nation was practically accom-
plished.

1t Recent Test In Russia 1t PRODUCED
Amusement Among the Experts.
The so called magnetic shell, which
has been used ut the trials of English
armOr plates at Okhta, near St. Peters
burg, has made an extraordinary record.
The shell was fired at soft st. Chamoud
plate at right angles, and the penetratio3
was OF inches Another shell penetrat-
I'd o inches One shell was discharged
1t inch Haryeyized plate at an an
gle of 20 degrees. The projectile passed
through the plate and backing and fell
ABOUT 400 yards beyond, a performance
which filed the scientific experts pres
cnt with amazement
Further trials will be made, but for
the present no plates of the requisite
strength are forthcoming, those already
used, which were manufactured special
u for the purposes of the trial, being SO
shattered as TO be useless for future
tests. The general impression among
military experts is that the magnetic
hell is not new shell ut all, but sim
ply q new invention adaptable to any
modern projectile.
One of the shells that had undergone
the secret process was exhibited. AL
though it had passed through one of the
arnor plates, it was in all unchanged
condition, and rs it showed no traces
Of fastening whereby the new invention
could be attached to it the spectators
concluded that the Improvement must
be cap OF softer metal held on to the
top of the shell by magnetism. This
nurses the hard point of the she'll at
the impact and so helps it to penetrate
the surface of the plate until it reaches
the softer metal behind. This, at all
events, is one of the guesses at the prin-
ciple of the novel projectile. -Pittsburg
