LOOK TO THE STABLES IN WINTER.

It is expensive work to winter idle
horses, and doubly expensive if proper
care is not given, for then there is a
strong chance of losing some before
spring. If the stables are close and
heated the air will be hot and foul--di-
rectly injurious to the lungs. Or the
other hand, cold stables with strong cur
rents of air are quite as bad. A warm,
not hot, stable, we'll ventilated without
direct drafts, is the happy Medium

THREE WERE INDICTED.
Napthaly, Sternberg and Cough
Must Answer.
The Grand Jury Found True Bills on
Charges Of Perjury and Elec.
ton Frauds.

Ben Napthaly, Louis Sternberg and
John Cough were indicted by the Grand
Jury after busy session yesterday.
Napthaly will answer charge of per
jury, preferred against him by the Law
and Order League.
Some time ago Napthaly swore he owned
goods and merchandise at 732 Market
street valued at $4,000. On the strength
OF his affidavit he was accepted as a bonds
man for one Mills, alias Morgan, who was
under arrest for having bunkoed man of
considerable money. When the case was
called for trial no prisoner responded.
Dhe Law and Order League took the matter
under investigation and found that the
property claimed by Napthaly was owned
by the Max Shirpser Jewelry Company.
Information was filed by the league with
| the Grand Jury last week, and upon the
strength of the testimony of the officers
Napthaly was indicted.
Although Louis Sternberg is awaiting
sentence upon two charges of violation of
the purity of election laws he will have to
answer to another charge of the same
character. According to the indictment
returned by the Grand Jury he is charged
with securing a false registration in the
First Precinct of the Forty-first Assembly
District.
JOnn GOugn, according 10 the testimony
presented interfered with the count of the
votes in the Fourteenth Precinct of the
Thirtieth Assembly District and otherwise
disturbed the proceedings of the election in
that precinct without any authority, he
not even being one of the election officers.
A true bill was returned against him on
these grounds.
All the witnesses in the election cases
were excused until Friday, when they will
be examined regarding their knowledge of
alleged frauds. Registrar Hinton was be-
fore the Grand Jury for half an hour and
furnished much information regarding his
Office.
Rev E. r. Ollie was summoned to tell
what he knew regarding corruption in San
Francisco. d. Gilbert Dexter, who has
been in Sacramento in the interest of the
resolution calling for an investigation of
the police force of this city as the repre-
sentative of the Civic Federation, was also
questioned by the members of the Grand
Jury.

of Thomas 4. Walker, alias Frank ROGERS

William Schumacher last Thursday NIGHT

various State Legislatures, which will be in
session during this year, will be engaged in
efforts to secure practical results, in the direc-
ton of selecting approved methods, though on
a variety of lines or theories. The information
obtained by the Office of Road Inquiry, bureau
of the Federal Department of Agriculture, and
which has had correspondence on the subject
with all of the State governments, is that wide
divergence of opinion exists on the whole ques-
ton, and it is feared that it may, in conse-
quence, be difficult to secure sound practical
results Not less than half dozen plans are
in effect or contemplation, q fact that is I'M
doubtedly regrettable, and it would seem de-
sirable that the Empire State should, with it's
characteristic progressiveness, be leader in
the establishment of an acceptable system of
road Improvement extension and mainten-
ance.
The advocates of road improvement in sew
eral States are urging the establishment of
temporary joint commissions by the respective
legislatures, such commissions to include, be-
sides members of both legislative houses, repre-
sentatiYes of road-improyement organizations.
If this plan is adopted by number of the
State legislatures the Federal Office of Road
Inquiry proposes to act as a medium of COM
munication between them, as well as a source
of information. I think that the Legislature
might, by commission, put itself into COM
munication with the national and State
authorities on the subject and acquire all avail
able information as to plans and experiments,
with a view to obtaining good roads constructed
on wise and economical principles throughout
the State.

California. which will assemble to-day at
Sacramento.
Governor Budd will call the convention
to order in the Croker Art Gallery hall,
where delegates are to be gathered from
humane societies, commercial bodies, the
Farmers Alliances, Changers, colleges and
other institutions.
Although no programme has been def
nitely arranged, it is well understood that
the question of best systems of road i'm
provement for California will be con-
sidered. From the representatives of vari-
Gus interests differing opinions are ex-
pected, as ideas vary greatly all over the
United States on this question, and yet
such interchange of views will tend toward
solution of the problem now placed before
California in the convention.
The opinions of General Roy Stone,
United States Engineer on Roads in the
Department of Agriculture, who went to
Sacramento yesterday to attend the con-
vention, will, however, have influence on
conclusions with regard to systems of i'm
provement of roads.
His knowledge of the subject is known
to be extensive, such knowledge as comes
only after years of experience and study.
His book on ''Roads and Road Laws of the
United States is regarded as a standard
authority on engineering features, methods
of construction, economics in building, and
also laws on roads.
1.-THE Governor of California invited me
to attend this convention" said General
Stone. 81 shall watch the proceedings
with much interest and give all the assist
ance in my power. There is a great deal
to be done in California, and the sooner
the better. I should like to see recon-
mendations made to the Legislature now
in session to take up this question of i'm
proving county roads. The message of
Governor Morton of New York delivered
last month is pertinent to the local situa-
ton as find it with regard to the matter
of road improvement.
The remarks of Governor Morton are as
follows:
The subject of good roads is one which
merits thoughtful attention at your hands, for
tits year by year becoming of larger import
ance in the public eye. Nearly all of the

the men were employed in quarries and
on new roads there has not been a single
one among them sick enough to go into
the hospital. The prisoners take well to
the work. Only short-term conyicts are
used, and they get their time shortened
and receive some compensation for good
work.
"Some Southern and Western States have
compelled the tramps to work on new
roads, paying them something, although
the labor is regarded as a kind of punish
ment. 1t certainly has a good effect. on
that class of fellows.
California might solve the tramp ques-
ton by putting the tramps at quarrying
and spreading rock over roads, and L be-
lieve the best possible thing to do with
cenvicts is to employ them at the same
time. If 1 had my way would put most
of them into quarries.
1.-THE labor organizations would not OBJ
iect to that plan. The labor unions, SO far
as l know, have no objection to EN- ploying
convicts in road construction. On the
contrary, I am told, they are enthusiastic
supporters of the scheme. 1t does not in
terfere with labor interests, while it has a
good effect on the criminal classes. Pm
sure the local unions in California would
indorse such plan.
~ believe that California will fall in line
with other States, and once the benefits of
good roads are understood in the larger
counties there is no doubt whatever that
all the counties will become enthusiastic
over the movement"

A Bold Operator Who Exhibits Much
Assurance.
A confidence man has been operating on
Kearny and Market streets for several
days. His plan is to loiter about saloons
and cigar-stores listening to the converse
ton of proprietors and their patrons until
he learns of an instance where great conf
dence exists between them. Armed with
this fact and such other information as he
can pick up and a specimen of the hand
writing of the patron if it can be obtained.
he cOncOcts letter asking the loan of a
few dollars until the next day. The re-
quest is usually written on the letter-head
of a neighboring restaurant, whence the
request for funds is supposed to come.
Last evening "a man waltZed into the
cigar-Store of Dan ?. Carter, at S42 Market
street, and handed him the following let
ter:
Friend Dan: Please let the bearer have five
dollars $50 for me, as I am with some friends
in restaurant on Market street, and am caught
short of money. Will return the same as soon
as the bank opens in the morning. Please
don't fail, and oblige BILLY MCGEE.
The name signed to the letter was that of
a particular friend of Mr.. Carriers, and,
though not familiar with his handwriting,
he was about to hand the money out to the
waiting messenger when he noticed that
the top of the letter-head on which it was
written had been carefully torn Off and
thought it strange that he should sign
Billy instead of his initial. He asked
the bearer of the note who he was, and the
man replied that he was employed in the

SENATOR FAIRS ESTATE.
Work on His North Beach Property
Going On.
The Executors Will Push the Reclamation
to a Completion if the Court
SuStainS Them.

James G. Fair, when alive, was particu.
larly interested in the development of his
waterfront property at Harbor View. He
had piles driven at low-water mark and
then had brush interviewer in order to re-
tain the silt that was washed up by each
tide.
When a considerable quantity of land
had been reclaimed in this manner a make
shift breakwater was built and the land
from the bay was taken up in dredgers and
dumped into the place it was purposed to
reclaim. When a sufficient quantity of
ground was reclaimed the late Senator at
once began operations, looking toward
making it of mercantile value. The work
OF grading the lots was let to Warren 81
Malley, and they have been engaged on it
ever since.
The late Senator in his will made it a
point that the work of retaining those
lots should be gone on with In his opin-
ion North Beach was to be the center of
the shipping industry in San Francisco.
Docks were to be built there and the ocean
steamship lines would eventually make it
their landing-place. Keeping these suppo-
sitions in view he distinctly told his exec
utors to go ahead with the work of relaim-
ing the North Beach property.
When seen on the subject yesterday
afternoon Louis G. Bresse, one of the exec
utors, said "We have practically done
nothing. Warren & Malley are at work un-
der some old contracts let during the life of
the late Senator Fair. When these are
completed we do not know whether we
will be in position to go ahead or not.
You see the Will has not been probated
yet, and we have not the power to act II
everything comes out all right, and am
sure it will, then the work of reclaiming
the waterfront property between Black
Point and the Preside will be pushed
