WARD OF STOCKTON FREE
The Indictment Under Which
He Was Convicted Was
Invalid.
Persons Implicated in the County
Hospital Scandal Profit by
Decision.

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 10.-The news
that the Supreme Court had declared
faulty the indictment upon which Charles
W. Ward was convicted of rendering a
bride to influence Chairman Brown of the
Board of Supervisors in favor of the adop-
ton of Architect Rushforth's plans for the
new county hospital, was received here
with much interest. 1t is regarded as the
end of the prosecution of those interested
in the new county hospital scandal. The
indictment against Supervisor Brown was
drawn in similar form to the one upon
which Ward was convicted, and in view of
the great expense to be incurred in begin
ming the proceedings over again, and the
uncertainty of conviction in the end, it is
considered probable that the cases will be
dismissed by the District Attorney.
Browns friends are as happy over the
decision as are Wards. The latter was
under sentence of ten years in the
States prison. and the decision virtually
frees him, unless District Attorney Nutter
should take steps to hold him to the next
Grand Jury

Asylum Directors Endedror to Recover
Ea-TreGsWrer Orr's Shortage.
STOCKTON, Call, Dec. 10-The report
of Superintendent Clark, read at the meet
ing of the directors CT the State Insane
Asylum to-day, showed that there were in
the asylum on December 1902 patients,
of whom 1885 were males and 467 females
During November seven males and one
female were discharged, and there was one
escape.
Attorney Louttit, the legal adviser of
the board, was present at the meeting to
consult with reference to the shortage OF
Major Orr, the former treasurer of the asy-
lum. The report of Expert Houskin was
found to be correct, except that the expert
ascertained by an examination of the d.
rector's minutes that $191 so had been paid
ont by Orr for which he had never given
himself credit. Attorney Louttit was au-
thoriZed to accept the amounts in the re-
port of Houskin, less this sum. Mr..
Louttit stated that he would give the
bondsmen of Major Orr until next Mon
day to settle, and il the money was not
forthcoming then he would bring suit, as
directed by the Attorney General.
Attorney Louttit reported that he had
collected from an estate in Indiana $1764,
due patient in the asylum, who owes that
much for board

GOODS MADE BY CONv|CTS,
Official Examination to Be Made
by Governor Budd's
Direction.
The Manufacturers Association Wants
the Labor Commissioner to
Investigate.

For several months past there has been
quiet agitation of a movement having for
its object the enactment of State laws to
close CALIFORNIA; doors to the products of
Eastern prisons. The startling fact was
learned at the National meeting of State
prison wardens in Colorado that thou
sands of dollars worth of convict-made
articles of all kinds were shipped into this
State and sold in competition with home
products made by free men.
The Prison Directors, Labor Commits
sioner and Manufacturers and Producers
Association took up the matter and began
to gather statistics regarding the importa-
ton of convict-made goods into the State.
A short time ago the attention Of Gov
ernor Budd was called to the situation and
he promised to do all in his power to COR
rect the existing evil. The first movement
in this direction has been made by the
Governor informing personal friends that
he was ready to proceed in the matter:
This was stated yesterday at meeting of
the Manufacturers Association.
Chairman Sonntag presented the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Manufacturers and Pro
ducers' Association of California has had
under consideration the matter of the manu-
facture of articles of merchandise by convict
labor; and whereas, the association is satisfied
that large quantities of prison-made articles
are imported to this State yearly at the cost
and disadvantage OF our home industries; and
whereas, in the opinion of this association
thorough investigation OF this subject would
be great benefit to our local manufactures,
therefore be it
Resolved, That his Excellency Governor
Budd be and is hereby respectfully requested
to provide ways and means and to delegate a
commission to make the said investigation
throughout the Eastern States where the said
prison goods are manufactured; and be it fur
Their
Resolved That the secretary OF this associa-
ton be and is hereby directed to transmit i'm
mediately copy of this resolutionto his Ex-
cellency Governor Budd.
M. ]. Keller stated that the association
has made good progress in the preliminary
steps toward roofing out the evil and has
obtained much valuable information. He
said that he had been informed that GER
tain merchants were growing rich by
handling convict-made goods which they
sold at remarkably low prices.
Director McGlynn asked to have the Pc
tition amended so as to designate the
Labor Commissioner as the California
agent who should make the proposed in
vestigation.
Mr.. Sonntag's resolution was adopted
and it was decided that the substance of
Mr.. McGlynn's amendment should be for
warded in letter to the Governor as po-
lite suggestion.

ADVENTURE OF TWO cHicOANS.
Employees "Shootng Fume'' in Boat
Narrowly Escape Being Carried
TbroU0b Break

CHICO, CAL, Dec. 10.-Frank Thatcher
and William Fitzpatrick had thrilling
experience in the mountains near Chico
yesterday, and they will probably never
again attempt to "shoot a f1ume" in boat.
The men had finished their work at the
Sierra Lumber Company mills in the
mountains and decided to coast" to Chico
by boat in the flume. They made the start
all right, but when in the canyon near the
Forest ranch they were Mortified to see
break in the fume short distance ahead.
The water was running rapidly and to jump
meant certain death, for they were over
sixty feet from the ground.
Before the two men had time to fully
realize their perilous position the boat
shot over the break. 1t struck with a jar
the woodwork on the opposite side, but
the rushing waters carried the craft along
in safety, after it had trembled for an in
slant on the edge of the break. The thor
oughly frightened employees succeeded in
stopping the boat and finished their jour
ney on foot.

The Exhibition One of the Best
Ever Given by the Palo
Alto "Co-Eds."
CHEATING STUDENTS IN LUCK.
Further Action in the Case of Those
Guilty of Cribbing May Be
Deferred.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
10.-The women's tennis tournament was
decided yesterday and Miss Anna Martin
$50 is champion for another year. The
championship match was for the best
three out of five sets, and from the first
two sets it looked as though the, champion
had at last met her match. Both ladies
played fine ball. Miss McCray seemed to
have the strongest return, while Miss Mar
tin (who, by the way, is champion of Ne
vada), had the best Of it on accurate plac-
ing and swift serving. Each point was
closely fought. and number of spectators
agreed that it was the best tennis exhibi.
ton yet given by the 'co-eds." The scores
were 6-3, 6-8, 1-6, SO.
1t is he purpose of the Women's Ath-
letic Association to purchase a valuable
trophy, which shall be held by the cham
her. 1t is hoped that this will draw out
more entries for each tournament. An
effort will probably be made ultimately to
play an intercollegiate tournament with
the "co-eds" of Berkeley; but at present
little has been done toward that end.
The board of control of the Daily Palo
Alto-Stanford college daily-met this
afternoon and elected Sheriff. B. Osborne
97 editor-in-chief for the coming semester.
The editor-in- chief serves but for one
semester, while the business manager is
elected in April and serves fer year.
The executive committee. of the Associ-
ated Students met last evening, and dis
cussed the question of Southern Califor-
- tr,x~ Is Il ali He,
during the coming vacation. From the re-
port OF the mandolin clubs manager it
was apparent that that organization would
not put up the required deposit, SO the
committee voted that the trip be not al
lowed.
The mandolin club then, through its
representative, announced that the Uni
versity of CALIFORNIA; Glee Club had ten
dered an invitation to join with 1T in a
Southern California trip, the members
agreeing to settle up back indebtedness be-
fore departure. This proposition met
with favorabl reception and passed the
committee.
The executive committee further voted
through an appropriation of $500 for a
track coach. This tends to show that
Stanford track athletes intend to make a
hard fgh t this year to bring up their field
record against Berkeley. Each night now
sees several men at work on the cinder
path, while men of greater weight are
tossing the hammer and shot.
Nothing further has been done in regard
to the students convicted of "cribbing,"
and it is probable that the matter will be
dropped after it has been acted upon by the
students in their meeting which is to take
place on one of the last days of this week.
1t is possible that some of the students
will be given another chance on the plea
of "first offense.'

Henry Tessmer COrrects Some Mistakes

Henry Tessmer has discovered that there
were several of the names spelled wrong in

corning the way the milkmen induced the

OF Supervisors to indefinitely postpone
action on the question of extending the
pound limits. A Mrs. Bowers is men,

By "Mr. Ofeman, groceryman at Tenth
and Howard Streets" ]. William Offer
mann, who has grocery store at Tenth
and FOLSOM streets, was referred to-.
Our complaint against the mllkmen
and the Health and Police Committee of
the Board of Supervisors has been fairly
stated by The CALL" said Mr.. Tessmer.
III the Grand Jury can get the mllkmen
to talk they will hear some revelations.
The dairymen in February sent protest
to the Board of Supervisors against our
petition to have the pound limit extended.
This was signed by the milkmen and a
lew others, some of whom are unknown
IN this district. By summoning the sign
ers OF this protest people could be sum-
m0ned who could tell how it all happened.
r,t, MI ~ 1hermann says he was not at the
City Hall after election and did not try to
help the milkmen at all. If it were neces-
sary we could prove that this was not SO,
and that he not only helped them but said
he had contributed money for that pur-
pose."

HOT WORDS IN COURT.
Larger Pierce fTned for Challenging
Er-Jatdge Ruttedge's Veracity.


Er-Judge RutIedge's Verdcity.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Dec. 10.-Attorney
George Pierce was fined $50 to-day by
Judge Dougherty for contempt of court.
Pierce is the plaintiffs attorney in the
Tzabacco ranch case, which has been pend
ing in court over thirty years. Attorneys
Ware and ex-Judge Rutledge, counsel for
the defendants, moved to have the case
thrown out of court as the time for action
by the plaintiff in the matter had expired.
Ex-Judge Rutledge. during his argument,
characterized the opposing attorneys case
as Matchmaking scheme.
Lawyer Pierce who is an old gray haired
man, was on his feet in an instant and in
language more forcible than elegant de-
nounced ex-Judge Rutledge as a prevari-
Gator. The court objected to his words,
and showed his disapprobation by annex
ing fine to his rebuke of Pierce.
After Judge Doughertv had imposed the
fine Attorneys Rutledge and Ware bespoke
the mercy of the court for their legal
brother and asked to have the fine remit
ted, but the court refused to remit the fine
and instructed the District Attorney to
see that it was collected. Pierce was Dis
trict Attorney of the county number of
years ago.

reported that 1861 students were enrolled
in all the departments of the institution.
By motion it was ordered that $38, 600 OF
the $4,000 set apart for that purpose be
paid to Mrs. Stiles for reservoir site.
Professor Richardson of the classical de-
partment was given one years leave OF
absence. He will be gone during portions
of 1896 and 1897, and will spend most Of
that time in Greece and Italy.
A communication from Professor Car
penter of Columbia College, published in
the Educational Review, in which the
writer stated that the English department
of the university was the strongest in the
United States, was read. 1t was con-
sidered that such commentator, coming
from so bright an authority, was indica-
tive of the Pacific Coast institutions

A memorial to the late Andrew ].
Moulder was read, in which the dead
secretary and regent of the university,
teacher and superintendent of public in
struction, was eulogized for his noble

ROW IN A POOLROOM.

Fleming We1ches and Is Attacked by
One of His Patrons.
There was trouble in the poolrooms of
Fleming & Co., 9 Ellis street, yesterday
morning. Some OF their patrons had laid
bets on combination of three horses on
Monday. The combination was Remus
and Bay Murphy to win and Three Forks
to show. Remus and Bay Murphy won
their races, but the race in which Three
Forks an was declared off for fraud. In
such cases horses played in combinations
are regarded as scratched and the odds are
computed on the racers left in.
In all the poolrooms except Fleming
this rule was adhered to, but Fleming re-
fused to pay, declaring that the com bina-
ton was broken owing to the race in
which Three Forks ran being declared off.
His decision raised howl of Indignation
and Charles Weinberg, one of Fleming's
patrons, made an attack upon him.
Fleming yelled for help and his employees
ran to his assistance and separated the
com batants.
Louis Roser, another of Fleming's
patrons. was hunting around the police
courts yesterday afternoon in search of a
warrant for Fleming's arrest. He was
unable to get it, but expressed his inten-
ton of making another attempt this
morning.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE IMPOSSIBLE

But Here Is Something Just as

In spite Of all that has been said and

is indisputable that modern methods of
work and living make the occasional and
even frequent use of gentle stimulants
highly beneficial if not absolutely neces-
sary to the great majority of men-es-
pecially those engaged in business and
mental pursuits. Lack of exercise and the
excessive consumption of nerve force and
vital energy consumed by the brain breeds
siuggishness of the digestive system, which

THE THREE BUILDINGS,
The Regents Decide on That
Number for the Affiliated
Colleges.
Professor Harold Writings Splendid
Gift to Several Institutions Of
Learning.

The board of State University regents
met in full session yesterday afternoon in
the Hopkins Institute. Upon the subject
OF the proposed buildings of the affiliated
colleges an elaborate opinion from Attor-
ney-General Fitzgerald was read, in which
that official stated that under the law they
must be constructed separately.
Under this ruling it was decided that
writ OF mandamus must be served upon
the State Controller in order to secure i'm
mediately one-half of the $250,OOO appro-
priated for the building of the colleges.
The number of buildings to be erected
caused considera BILE discussion. Finally a
motion was made by Regent Hallidie that
four be construc ted, and Regent Bartlett
amended the motion by suggesting three
The amendment was carried by vote of
s to 7.
The committee on college lands recon-
mended the acceptance of the offer of the
Carson River and Tahoe Lumber and
Flume Company to purchase tract of
forest land. It is situated in Ell Dorado
County, near Lake Tahoe, and contains
1040 acres, and is timber land unadapted
for cultivation. The price offered was IS
per acre. Upon vote the recommends
ton in the form of a motion was adopted
and the offer accepted by the regents.
The gift of $4,000 to the University of
California, the fourth of the $4,000 do
mated by the late Professor Harold Whit
ing to several institutions of learning, has
been received by the regents. 1t will be
remembered that the lamented Whiting
was lost, with his entire family, while en-
route East on the unfortunate steamship
Colima, and the above distribution was a
part of the legacies found in his last will.
The notice of donation Of $4,000 to the
students aid fund was received from Mrs.
Rosewald; also that of $1,000 from P.
Charles Cole of Rochester, N. Y.
The regents were formally notified that
Professor John Fraser, now travelling in
China, had accepted the professorship of
Oriental languages in the university.
Upon motion it was ordered that the
following students be presented with col
legiate degrees:
Bachelor of Letters-Bertha oliver, Rachel
Vrooman.
Bachelor of Philosophy-W. D. Thompson.
Bachelor of Arts-Frederick Randolph King.
The finance committees report on the
monthly expenditures amounting to
about 1854 900 was received and accepted.
OF this sum $3.50, 900 was expended for the

Being Made.

TRUCKER, CAL, Dec. 10.-A large
number of laborers are at work on
Truckee's ice palace-the first of its kind
in California-and the main part of the
building is nearly completed. In a few
days, if the weather continues favorable,
everything will be in readiness to receive
excursionists.
Large fir trees are now being placed upon
the roof and sides of the building. These,
when sprayed with water and frozen, will
present magnificent appearance. The
entire building will be sprayed and coated
with ice so that not stick of timber will
be visible. Several thousand feet of wire
netting is expected daily to- cover the
building before the spraying commences.
Hundreds of pairs OF skates and tobog-
gans and sleds have been ordered from the
East.
Arrangements have been made to take
500 people for sleigh ride to Bonner Lake
in one day. Toboggan slides are being
built and snow-shoe courses laid out.
Every winter amusement imaginable will
be provided for visitors.
