NEW IRISH MOVEMENT 7,
Two Councils of the National
Alliance Organized in
This City.
After Finishing the Work in San Fran.
cisco Other Places Will Be
Invaded.

The Irish National Alliance is making
rapid progress in the way of organizing it's
forces. Its plan is to district the City and
form councils in the different districts
rather than TO establish one central body.
By this means it is thought that the idea
OF the National Alliance, which is to every
where unite the Irish people in the cause
of Ireland's liberty, can best be served.
After organizing in the City an effort
will be made to form councils in other
cities and towns of the State. The leaders
OF the movement are hopeful of extending
the alliance over the entire coast, and if
the same measure of success is achieved
elsewhere as in San Francisco their hopes
will probably be realized. Anyway the
movement is well under way and the
membership of the two councils already
formed is daily increasing.
The O'Neill Council has just been or
ganized with the following officers: P. J..
O'Neill, president; George Egan, vice
president; James Loughery, recording sec.
rotary; John Murphy, treasurer. This
council starts out with a large member
ship. The charter of the National Ali
ance provides that ten memb ers can form a
council.
The Emmett Council has for its officers:
Thomas D. Crowley, president; John
Doyle, vice-president; David Russell,
financial secretary; Matt O. Donnell, treas
urer; w. P. Harmon, recording, secretary.
The objects of the alliance are to work
for the national independence of Ireland
on any lines consistent with civilization.
It is opposed to Parliamentary agitation,
which it regards as failure.

CURING THE PRUNE.
An Interesting Discussion by the State
horticultural Society.

An Interesting Discussion by the State
horticultural Society.
At meeting of the State Horticultural
Society yesterday there was long and in
teresting discussion upon the methods of
drying prunes. 1t started from the read
ing of a report made by the secretary re-
garding an investigation undertaken by
the experimental station at Berkeley. +.
Z. Bioletti had been detailed by Professor
Hilgard to investigate the various phe-
nomena in the prune drying in the San
Jose region. He read the report of his OBJ
servations on defective forms occurring
during the drying process.
Professor Hilgard said that he thought
that any mechanical rupture of the skins
should be in the form of Sitting and not
merely pricking, because the mere pune
rure soon closes with dried juice. The
needles OF the prickingmachine should
be inclined uphill toward the rolling fruit,
so as TO insure the sitting. Pricked pTunes
he considers hnndsomer than any lye-
dipped prunes and resemble the finest
French article.
The question was asked by ]. q. Ander-
son as to which has the best keeping quail
ity, dipping or pricking. Major Will A.
Coulter stated that he had used both pro-
cesses and that it takes twice the time to
orA the Pflckeu pIuneS. Trlckeu PruHeS
suffer loss of juice by emulation and loss Of
weight, and they require many more dry
ing trays and ground.
j. A. Wilcox claimed that good prickers
do not tear the skin, and of the two sys-
TENS he favors pricking to dipping. John
Markley was of the same way of thinking
and added that the fruit must not be forced
through the machine too fast. If properly
cared for, it is difficult to distinguish be-
tween the prunes cured by the two pro-
cesses. A discussion of the two processes
was entered into by Messrs. Cunningham,
Anderson, S. P. Saunders, B. N. Rowles,
Ramsay, Professor Hilgard, Major Coulter
and others.
The subjects selected for the December
meeting were Pruning of Prune Trees -
by S. P. Saunders Of San Jose, and Boxes
vs.. Sacks for Packing Dried Fruits" by B.
n. Rowles Of San Francisco.

BEN DAVIS BIG CAPTURE,
The Chief Market Inspector Seizes
Seventeen Immature
Calves.
Maximum Penalty for a Crime of This
Kind Is $500 and Six Months
in Jail.

Market Inspector Ben Davis made an
important seizure of immature veal yes
terday. The victim of his vigilance was
D. Biagini, trader, and the seventeen
calves he had aboard big four-horse
wagon proved to be the largest capture
made by the inspector during his official
career of less than two months.
According to Mr.. Davis, he has had his
weather eye on Biagini for the last four
weeks, but whenever he came across him
he had either just disposed of his un-
whoieso me meat or was Just starting on
his weekly visit to San Mateo County.
Biagini is general trader. About once
every ten days he loads UP big four-horse
express wagon with tinware and such
other articles as peddlers generally carry.
He then goes over into the ad jacent
county, disposing of his wares to such
people as have meat of any description to
sell. He has a fondneSs, however, for
veal of the two and three days old variety.
When all his goods are disposed OF the
return trip is begun, the calves being
killed as he reaches each trading point.
In consequence of this systematic way OF
doing business he reaches the City, Mr..
Davis says, with load of veal not exceed
ing ten days old. The law says that all
veal offered for public sale must at least
four weeks old.
Yesterday Davis received quiet "tip"
that Biagini was expected in with load
of veal. About 1890 O'Clock the trader
came along, and when. near the corner OF
Sixteenth and Capp streets was stopped by
the Market Inspector. He invited an
inspection of his load, but when Davis
started to climb on his wagon he burst into
tears and begged piteously not to be ar.
rested.
An examination of the contents of the
wagon revealed seventeen calves, not one
OF which was exceeding ten days old. The
heads and feet were gone, but there was
other evidence to show that the veal was
of improper maturity. Davis escorted
Biagini to the Seventeenth street station,
where be was booked on charge of violat-
ing section 10, order 1901, Board of Super
visors. The Inspector assumed charge OF
the wagon and calves, and will hold them
as evidence. The case has not yet been
assigned, but will probably come up before
Judge Campbell to-day.
Sol Levy, arrested by Assistant Market
Inspector Rivers on Wednesday last, on a
charge of selling diseased meat, was con-
victed in Judge CampbelPs court yester-
day. He will be sentenced to-day.

Auditor Frederick Is Asked
to Withhold a Salary A
Warrant.
POWER OF THE SUPERVISORS
Superintendent of Schools Babcock
May Have Trouble in Getting
His Pay.

1t seems evident that Charles S. Young,
who was recently appointed Superintend-
ent of Public Schools by the Board of
Supervisors, does not intend to give up his
hopes of gaining the office except after a
hard struggle. He has made his formal
demand for the office from Madison Bah
cock, the incumbent and appointee of the
Board of Education, and is now endeavor-
ing to keep Mr.. Babcock out of the salary
attached to the office.
Attorney Alva Watt, who represents Mr..
Young, called on Auditor Broderick yes
terday and requested that the latter refuse
| to audit the warrant that would enable
| Mr.. Babcock to draw his money from the
treasury.
A spirited argument was the result, and
while the attorney did not succeed in pre-
venting the signing of the precious docu-
| ment, he gained delay that may cause
Mr.. Babcock some Inconvenience, if moth
ing Ere else w..+ o,.i,,o, ,o4.s :. ,.
Mr.. Young's contention that the Board of
Supervisors was the only power having a
legal right to appoint Superintendent of
Schools and that an appointment by the
Board of Education was of no more force
or moment than as if it had been made by
the Mayor. He warned the Auditor that
in case the courts decided that Mr.. Young s
position was correct he would be compelled
to return to the treasury ali moneys paid
out to Mr.. Babcock as Superintendent.
Mr.. Broderick replied that as no decision
in the matter had been made by eompe-
tent authority he was secure in his posi-
ton, and that as Mr.. Babcock was the
holder of certificate emitting him to the
Office, as far as he knew, he would sign the
warrant, in fact had already done so.
n To
protect his clients interests, however, he
consented to hold the docum ent until this
noon to give Mr.. Young time to swear out
an injunction if he desires to do so.
Mr.. Babcock said yesterday that he had
no apprehension as to the ultimate result
of the matter, but that he desired the case
decided at the earliest possible moment so
that the business of the Office and his own
affairs might go on without further inter
ruption.
