GOVERNOR BUDD'S SCHEME.
and Folsom Prisons at the
Latter Place.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 2O-It is ru-
mored that Governor Budd has in view
some very important changes in the vari-
Gus State institutions, and that he will
recommend these changes strongly to the
attention of the coming Legislature. First
of these is the scheme mentioned in THE
CALL several weeks ago for the removal OF
the feeble-minded from Glen Ellen to
Whittier and the Whittier inmates 20
Glen Ellen, with the exception OF the girl
inmates. who will probably be sent 20 the
Preston School. The. Gler Ellen institu-
tion is surrounded by spacious grounds.
in which boy inmates can be constantly
employed and become in a measur self
sustaining This cannot be dnne at
Whittier, as the area of the grounds is too
prescribed, and another reason is that
Glen Ellen is the beau-ideal location for
an institution of penal nature, as owing
to the topography OF the surrounding
country the chances of escape from the
institution are greatly reduced.
1t is believed that the Governor will
strongly recommend the removal of San
@ lentin prison 10 Folsom and the COM
bining of the two institutions into one.
This will result in a great saving to the
State. and will insure the steady employ
ment of all convict wards of the State in
the inexhaustible granite quarries.

FEAR HUNTI1GT0RS POWER.
Los Angeles Citizens Alarmed BY His Ac
hvity IN Opposing the Free
Hdrbor Scheme.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Nov. 2o.-No
little appre hension has been caused among
the free har borites by the report from New
York that Coils 2. Huntington has al
ready had an interview with the Harbor
Commission, which is to meet here next
month to decide whether 5000, 600 appro-
priated by Congress for Geep-sea harbor
in Southern California shall be expended
at San Pedro or Santa Monica. 1t is feared
that Huntington. by thus taking time by
the forelock, may have created prejudice
in .he minds of the com mmiss!oners in
favor of his pet project OF having the Gov
ernment build a $3,0000o0 breakwater to
protect his big wharf at Santa Monica. 1t
is felt, at any rate, that he has secured
decided advantage by getting the hrst go
at the CON missioners.
AS the time for the convening of the
commission here draws near. the feeling
grows more intense, and IL Is feared the
battles of the last few years Will have to
be fought over. The Chamber of Com
merce has voted TO place its rooms at the
disposal of the commissioners, and Will
afford them every facility for gathering
data and information. I. +. Gibbon, the
attorney of the Terminal road, is busy
amassing information for the guidance OF
The board. The representatives OF the
Santa Monica interests are also at work.
Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern
Pacific is on the ground, and it is consid-
cred Quite pro ba bic that Huntington will be
here also about the time the commission

WAR ON SAN JOSE MEDIcOS.
Secret Societies to Boycott Local Physicians
Because of a Dispute Over
RQteS.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 2O.-There are
prospects of war between the physicians
ana secret societies of this city, owing to
to the refusal of the former to act as
special physicians for the societies at a
rate below that agreed upon by the Medi-
cal Society.
1t has been a custom with each society
to elect some physician who is a mem Der
of the order as medical examiner, giving
him eli the patronage of the society. The
rate has generally been fixed at a certain
amount for each examination--a per
capita for all the members of the order.
Several OF the physicians did great deal
of this work, but it cut 100 heavily into
the practice of the other doctors anc at a
recent meeting of the medicos it was de-
cided to abolish the custom.
This aroused the ire of the societies and
movement has been set on foot to CO.
operate in bringing physician from San
Francisco and giving him tie entire
patronage of the members of the fraternal
societies and their families. The move
ment is SAID to have started in the Sons of
st. George. at meeting of Garden City
Lodge, a. o. F., last night, F. w. Hogan,
J. E. Ducoing and w. Gee were appointed
a committee to work with other lodges in
procuring such physician.

THAT AiRSHlP AGAIN.
Sacrame enfo People Once More See Mys.
teTous Lights Passing Over
tie City.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. Nov. 2o.-Unless
scores of residents in the eastern portion
OF the city have gone suddenly daft the
mysterious aerial visitant which passed
over the city Tuesday night is still haunt
ing this locality, and people here are be-
coming more and more convinced that it
is an airship of some kind, which is max
ing nightly trial trips through the sur
rounding heavens.
Men whose veracity cannot be doubted
declare that the mysterious electrical
light repassed the city far to the north
ward, going in a northeasterly direction,
as though to the point from which it first
came. This evening several persons de-
clare that they plainly saw the mysterious
lights moving through the air at great dis
tance from the earth, and they declare that
from their movement they must have been
attached to some air craft. They at one
time moved directly into the wind and
again started off at various tangents.
To-night's reports have as yet not been
verified. but that the mysterious lights
repassed the city, going northeast on
Wednesday night cannot be gainsaid,
and the belief grows apace that some for
tunate mortal has solved the mystery of
aerial travel, has constructed his vessel in
some quiet spot and is making thorough
test of its capacities before presenting it to
the view of an incredulous public.

STOCKTON. CAL. Nov. 20-It is pos
sible that new factory may be built on
the north side OF Stockton Channel, oppo-
site the Crown Flour Mill and short dis
tance back from the water. The site is
owned by the Holt Manufacturing Com
pany and consists of four lots which
front on blind slough. In case the fac
tory is erected the slough will be dredged
and converted into wide channel, so
boats can steam up to the factory door.
A year or moro ago the Holts were
thinking of adding to their works on Sac

of the brothers went East to inspect the

ASTORIA, Or, Nov. 20.-Captain Phil
Johnson, the oldest of local river pilots,
and at present harbormaster of this port,
was examined to-day before the County
Court as to his mental condition and pro-
nounced insane. For some time past his
actions have been peculiar, and at times
of such a violent nature as to cause con-
siderable alarm in his household. He has
imagined that some enemy was seeking
his life and fought one or two fanciful
battles recently with an ak for weapon,
during which he worked himself into a
frenzied state. Whether he will be sent
to Salem or placed under the care of a
guardian has not yet been determined.

thieves made a raid on Pasadena last
night. In the east and west sides of the
city the United States mail boxes were not
only pried open and fifled of their contents,
but in many cases completely demolished,
and in some instances the wooden posts
supporting them were broken off close to
the ground. Fourteen boxes were looted.
Ali but one on South Orange Grove ave-
nue.. all on West California, ali on Lincoln
avenue and Two on Grand avenue were
emptied. The remnants of four torn rain.
soaked letters were all that were found.
The only trace of the robbers is revealed
by the report of servant girl, who was
aroused at A. near Marengo and Colo
RADIO streets. Looking from her window
she saw man engaged in opening the
box there, while his com panion held a
horse hitched to buggy. Phillip Buch,
going home from night work about "a M,
also saw the men with the buggy.

Mrs. Weyse, saying that if the defendant
had wished to proclaim himself a whole

Mrs Weyse aside from all others and to

confession. but would have proclaimed it
broadcast. There were two classes of per-
sons that told the truth, he said, and
these were drunken persons and children
Strong drink had often caused great suf-
fering, but this was one of the cases where
strong drink has been the means of bring
ing a criminal to justice. The facts stated
in the confessions were carefully com pared
with the facts proved by the evidence.

tempt was made to wreck the California

a switch was broken and the switch set SC
that the train going west would sidetTack,
but the train going East would pitch over
high embankment.
The westbound train was the first to ap-
proach. The engineer was acquainted
with the station and the sidetracks. so
that when the locomotive took the siding
he knew something was wrong and threw
his lever over. The heavy passenger train
plunged on, but was under control and
stopped before the open switch at the west
end of the sidetrack was reached. A
frlghtful accident would have resulted if
the train had come from the other direc-
tion and gone over the em mbankment.
