SAN FRANCISCO. June 2S.-The su-
preme court has decided that powder
explosion Is not an act of providence and
that the owners of such powder are res
ponsi ible for any damage that may result
from an explosion.
The estate of Egbert Johnson sued the
giant powder works for damages done to
its property by an explosion at the works
OF the powder company.
The superior court awarded the Judson
estate Sal 200 and the case was appealed to
the supreme court.
The only defense to the suit was on a
plea OF fatalism, it being maintained that
powder explosions cannot be prevented.
The supreme court in upholding the de-
cisioh of the lower court says:
An explosion does not soccur in such
manufacture if proper care Is exercised.
The real cause OF the explosion being un
explained, it Is probable that it was oc-
asioned by lack of proper care.

Tie Definition of the Term In.
trinsic Value
THE AUTHORITIES QUOTED
What Constitutes Values In Political
Economy
He Says There Never Was Time Prior to
1873 When the Ratio Exceeded
10 tOI

Editor Herald Last Sundays Herald
contained an article on The Standard of
Value by the Hon. r. NJ. Widney, which
requires more than a passing notice. If
it had not been signed by Mr.. Widney
/ would not have believed that he could
possibly have written it. The premises
stated are untrue and the conclusions
reached are necessarily fallacious.
Mr.. Widney starts out with the PROPOSE
tion that gold and silver have intrinsic
values" He uses the phrase intrinsic
phrase" intrinsic or commercial vaiue" five
times, as though intrinsic value and
commercial value were necessarily the
same.
Our best photographers define COM
mercial value to be that for which a
ching can be sold or exchanged for at
given time or place.
The Standard dictionary says that value
IN an economic sense is 'desirability or
worth of a thing as compared with the
desirability of som ething else; often con-
fused with the qualities and circum-
stances on which, taken together such
desirability depends"
The same authority says: Intrinsic
value is commoa expresson in literary
use but is improper in economics.
IG is now conceded by all writers of any
Sanding on political economy that there
What does the word intrinsic mean?
All photographers substantially agree that
1t means: "lnternal inherent, not mere
ly apparent or accidental, opposed to
etrinsic."
Now the fact Is that neither gold nor
silver has any intrinsic value whatever
Gold and silver. and in fact all com mo-
ditles, have certain inherent or intrinsic
properties which tend to make the par
ticular commodity more or less desira BILE
and to the extent that such properties in
fuence the desire for their possession.
Such inherent properties may enhance
their value or ratio of exchange for other
commodities, but value itself is entirely
independent of and ext-insic from the
commo odity.
If value wrs intrinsic, if it was inherent
in a thing. it could not change or fuctu-
ate. If the value OF gold or silver was in
herent in the metal. then the same guam
tity Of metal of the same degree of fine.
ness would always be of the same value.
In 1873 37lH grains of pure silver were
worth. as much in all the markets of the
world as 22.2 grains OF pure gold. Now
they are only worth half as much. Is it
possible that the intrinsic value OF one or
both of these metals has changed since
1873? Certainly not. The intrinsic prop
critics of gold and silver are the same now
az they were twenty years ago, as they
always have been. but their relative val
ues are very different.
Value is relative term and IS neces-
snrily extrinsic from the object and not
intrinsic or within it.
4 Value is created and controlled by the
law OF snpnly and demand. The inher-
ent or intrinsic properties of a commod-
tty may be OF such . character as to limit

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s.-The cloth
ingifound on the body of Matthew Stcher-
bakov, one of the men suspected of MUIR
dering the Webers, was brought to this
city today from San Jose, where it was
exhumed. 1t is believed the clothing

of the same material and the same pat
tern as the trousers taken from an ash
barrel in the rear of the Weber residence
in Sacramento the day after the murder.
The dead mans clothing and the gold
eyeglasses stolen from Mrs. Weber, which
are the main evidence in the hands of
the authorities TO secure the conviction
of Kobolev, will be sent to Sacramento
tomorrow.
In the meantime the detectives are
searching for Ivan Gheckert. who is be-
lieved to have been an accomplice of
Koboev ana Stcherbakov. AS vet no
traces OF Gheckert have been found. The
officials of TIE interior towns have been
notified to keep strict lookout for Ghec-
kert, especially in foreign quarters. whe re
in all probability, he will remain in
hiding.
