SAN FRANCISCO, July l4.-At meet
ing Of the state prison directors today the
price Of grain bags was materially re-
.ducsd. ana it was decided to look into
the practicability of increasing the plant
at San Quentin 80 that the output of the
prison works will be greatly increased
and made so that bean bags, ore bags and
wool bags and twine can be manufactured
at the prison.
The discussion in regard to increasing
the size of the plant at San Quentin took
up large part of the meeting. The pro-
ject was looked on favorably. and an in
ves.igation will be made to ascertain If it
will be practicable for the state to so into
the manufacture of ore, wool and bean
bags and twine. The law restricts the
prison directors to the manfactre OF jute
fabrics, and as there are lot of unen-
ployed convicts at San Quentin the direc-
tors think it is possible to put them to
work so as to increase the income of the
state and help to lower the ratio OF tax
alton.

that Benhayon had been murdered in the
interests of Bowers AMI that forged con.
fession had been placed by the body.

ports of the copsuls from Cognac. Havre.

deaux. 1t also contains copy OF the de-
cree of the minister of agriculture prohib'
iting the i'm portation OF American cattle
from the United States into France; also
a statement OF the emporary suspension
of the export of sheep from the United
States owing to the lexaction by the
French government of q certificate from
the United States veterinary inspector to
accompany all sheep landed in France
from the United States, which shall GER
tify that none of them nave been exposed
to any contagious disease for period of
six weeks prior to date OF shipment. Ow-
ing to the possibility of exposure to scab,
