Only a Few Thousand Borax
Sacks to Be Made at
San Quentin.
COMPETING WITH FREE LABOR.
State Prison Directors In a Quandary
About Providing for Insane
Prisoners.

At the regular meeting of the State Board
of Prison Directors at San Quentin yester-
day there was present r. NJ. Fitzgerald,
D. E. Hayes, James H. wilkins and E. J..
Depue, J. II. Nef absent. The principal
subject considered was the manufacture of
jute bags.
Warden Hale in his report stated that
the sale of jute bags for the season was
100000. OF these 200 600 were sugar bags,
which sold for 81 cents. Jute on hand
and to be delivered at the mill in short
time amounts TO 5S13 bales. This will last
at the present rate OF consumption until
about December l.
The matter of selling 10000 borax bags
to the Pacific Borax Company brought up
the subject of the protest of the Oakland
Cotton Mills against competing with con-
vict labor. Director Fitzgerald stated that
he had discussed the m after with Mr. Ruth
erford OF the Oakland company before
the contract was let, but he did not make
much objection to the State turning out
the work.
1t was not until after the Warden had
made the contract with the borax firm
that the employees of the cotton mills
entered their protest against what they
considered unfair competition. Then II
was that Mr.. Fitzgerald called the atten-
ton of Mr.. Rutherford to the fact that the
State has worked up little trade i'll the
sale of sugar bags TO the Chino refinery
and with the Sandwich Islands. He wanted
to know of Mr.. Rutherford if a protest
would be made if the State turns its atten-
tion to this class of product. Mr.. Ruther-
ford told him that there would not.
Director Hayes said that after the board
works up trade in these lines it cannot
afford to entertain any more protests III
that direction. 1t was the sentiment of
the directors that while not desiring to
enter into competition with free labor
there are several kinds OF jute bags that
the free mills are not prepared to handle.
1t was decided to fill the order for 10000
borax bags, but not to make any more.
Warden Hale asked for permission to
tear down the old brick laundry and erect
another structure for the confinement OF
weak-minded and insane prisoners. The
present cranky alley is not a fit
place for this class of prisoners. The
bricks could be saved and be used in
new building.
This raised another annoying subject.
There is no fund upon which to draw to
erect suitable building for the criminal
insane, and there is too much risk in send
ing them to the asylun!s.
Director Wilkins suggested that the SUBJ
ject be taken up at the next meeting at
Folsom. 1t might be advisable to build
ward for the insane at that prison. The
Quarries there would furnish all the mate
rial necessary for a substantial structure,
and all insane conVicts could be kept at
Folsom. The subject was laid over until
the next meeting at Folsom. The Warden
was authorized to tear down the old laun-
dry.
The reports of about two dozen parole
convicts now scattered all over the State
were read. showing that the system is
working successfully, and that the men

are doing well and leading exemplary
lives.
Conrad Praetzel was appointed as parole
clerk to take charge of this department at
q salary of $75 per month.
Several convicts appeared before the
board. Adam Stroh was charged with
having opium in his possession. He said
that he has been using opium since Decem-
Der. 1t was given to him by a friend, but
he refused to divulge the name of his
friend, nor could any information be OBJ
tanned as to how the drug was taken into
the prison.
The guard testified that in Stroh's cell
were about two pounds of the drug. The
board decided that Stroh should forfeit all
his credits and wear ball and chain for
thirty days.
William LaBrie asked for restoration
OF twenty-seven months credits, forfeited
for stealing So from the captain of the
prison steamer Caroline. The case was
continued indefinitely, as LaBrie has still
long term TO serve.
Upon the recommendation of the War
den eight months credits were restored to
John McNamee, accused of fighting. This
will let the young fellow leave the prison
on August 9

SWEET HOUR OF ART.
Directors Bosqui and Stafford OF the Art
Association Cannot Agree.

Directors Bosqui and Stafford OF the Art
Association Cannot Agree.
The new directory of the San Francisco
Art Association is not the happiest official
family in town. There are several points
upon which the board cannot agree, and
one which seems trivial at first glance
becomes more important as the subject is
observed. This point relates to the hour
OF board meetings. 1t is claimed that Di-
rector Bosqui, who has given a guiding
hand to the Art Association for more than
twenty years, prefers to meet his fellow
directors for the transaction of official
business during some hour of daylight.
On the other hand, William G. Stafford,
the new secretary of the association, pre-
fers that the directors should convene at
some hour between twilight and dawn.
The noon hour is very convenient to Mr..
Boqui who dwells in Marin County after
dark, and prefers to pass his evenings at
home. Mr.. Bosqui's ideas of happiness
consist in giving his days to art and his
nights to sleep.
The commercial environment which
heoges the artistic genius of Mr.. Stafford
relates to daily transactions in Beaver Hill
coal. Mr.. Stafford would give both his
days and nights to art were he million
aire, but the hard features of selling long
bOn Va coal lOT q DelOW tue CnSL OF
picture-frame keeps him in the ranks of
the toilers.
While he cannot give lavishly in money
to promote art he can lend his moral sup
port and give some of his time, but he
cannot conscientiously give that time in
the daylight, when he ought to be watch
ing the coal market and keeping an eye on
Alex Dunsmuir, Arthur Ebbetts, P. B.
Cornwall and other dealers in hard and
soft coal.
Now, it occurred to Mr.. Martin of the
Art Association few days ago that he
could reconcile the differences in the board
by having lunch at the institute on the
days the board met. He fancied that this
would allure ali the mem bers of the board,
and the proposed spread at the Art Insti-
tute on the hill unfolded another and a
broader proposition.
There he would be com pelled to eat his
victuals, talk of art and think of coal, all
at the same time. The idea did not par
ticularly catch the fancy of Secretary
Stafford. The secretary was not so easily
won over. At his usual place of luncheon,
the Bohemian Club, he knows that he can
eat his food and yet keep his mind on
coal, but the task was too great and he de-
clined the round table at the institute.
The vexed question is further than ever
from settlement. Bosqui holds cut for
daylight sessions, and Stafford insists that
the evening hours should be sacred to art.

that the head of the Republican ticket is

ent time. We are sick and tired listening to
the insane political prattle OF party that
recognizes no civil service reform. They
want men who stand only for the selfish prin-

away from it. and we formed our own party,
