VITICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Preparations for Incorporation About
Completed, Says Secretary Scott.
Secretary Winfield Scott of the Viticul-
tural Commission stated yesterday that
the preparations to incorporate the VIII
cultural College were about completed. He
observed:
The need of such an institution is quite ap-
parent, and it will be away ahead of the VIII
cultural Commission, for the reason that IL
will be out of the hands of politicians, and as
soon as the people of the State recognize its
stability and see that Its existence win not de-
pend upon the whims of politicians its success
is assured.
1t is not generally known, but the law abol-
fishing the commission as State bureau was
written by myself in q room of the Golden
Eagle Hotel one night between the hours of II
and o'clock. We had grown tired of the con-
slant struggle for an existence. We had to fight
for our life with the politicians every two
years.
There are many things which vfticultural
college could do, in the absence of any estab-
lished State commission that no other insti-
tuition could do. Needed amendments to and
changes in National legislation, for instance,
for the benefit of our wine-producers. The
State University could not undertake that task.
The wine schedule of the tariff act emanated
from this commission, and we are contemplate
ing some amendment which will properly reg
ulate the blending of brandies. Now, our col
lege can have Its representatives right in the

John Dubroff alias Ivan Kovalev was
formally charged by Captain Lees and
Detective Cody yesterday with murder, en-
route to Sacramento where the Russian
convict will be tried for the brutal killing
of Mr.. and Mrs Weber.
The last link in the chain connecting
Matthew Stcherbakov with the frightful
crime was completed yesterday afternoon,
and the case against Dubroff is made
stronger by the fact. Stcherbakov was
one of the trio of highwaymen who robbed
Dawdigan in San Jose, and into whose
body the Garden City man thrust knife
The bandit was subsequently killed by his
comrades and buried oy the San Jose
authorities. On Thursday the BODY was
exhumed, and the coat and vest, the only

nounced them the same kind of cloth as a
pair of trousers found in an ashbarrel in
Weber's yard.

.SHALE CAS- IN THE SHADE,
San Francisco May Soon Be
Lighted With a Brilliant
Substitute.
THE GAS COMPANY INTERESTED
President Crockett Experim enting
With Acetylene, New Hum
NATIVE Power.

For the past few months the San Fran
cisco Gas Company has been quietly con-
Quoting experiments, with view to find
ing out the practicability of supplanting
the present shale coal gas with a new
gaseous compound, scientifically known
as acetylene.
The experiments have been managed by
| E. c. Jones, one of the engineers of the
company, and man of scientific attain
ments. The results may be partially in
ferred when it is said that President J, B.
Crockett left for Europe a few days ago
i with the intention of investigating the re-
suit of experiments now being made with
acetylene in London.
The new gas is derived from calcium and
carbide, fused in electrical furnaces, and
the gas is created by the submersion of
the fused compound in water.
| While the gas has been known to science
| for fifty or sixty years, it is only within
six months past that a comparatively
cheap method of manufacturing it was ac-
cidentally discovered by an American
scientist named Wilson, who lives in
| North Carolina.
| After making many hopeless expert
ments to produce the gas from calcium
and carbide. Wilson, in disgust, threw the
contents of a retort into tub of water.
The room was Immediately filled with a
gaseous vaporr, which. being ignitedi; pro-
duced brilliant white light hardly in
ferior to electrical illumination and much
more brilliant than common gas.
| These details were furnished yesterday
by DR.. Hardness, who has invited Mr..
Jones to give an exhibition of acetylene
before the academy on Monday evening
| next.
Tn discussipo tba avnor;roo nt, ,,oda h,,
the gas company yesterday, the cashier
| said:
1--WE are well satisfied with the light
produced from acetylene gas. 1t is white
and brilliant, and throws ordinary gas
light into the shade.
"How cheaply can acetylene be manu-
featured is the question President Crockett
| is now investigating. Electrical furnaces
are necessary to fuse the compound used,
and it takes considerable coal to feed the
furnaces. If water power can be utilized
to generate the necessary electricity, there
is no doubt that acetylene will take the
place of shale coal gas. President Crockett
who is now on his way to Europe, will
look into the methods followed in the
leading Continental cities"
The experimentalist of the company
e. c. Jones, said yesterday that he was
confident water power to generate cleo
tricity for the furnaces could be readily
procured.
"The San Francisco Gas Company" he
said, twas one of the first companies in
the world to experiment with the new gas

calcium and carbide from the East, and
