Of the speaking to the good reputation
Of Louis was of the same order
Irving B. Dudley, San Diego attor-
ney, spoke of the good reputation Louis
bore five or six years ago He had heard
of his character from the proprietor Of
the hotel, but knew he had been arrested
for battery, for he was police judge at
the time and passed sentence.
J. C. Copeland, also an attorney from
San Diego, testified to Louis good repu-
tation for truth, veracity, honesty and in
tegrity. On cross-examination this wit
ness made curious blunder, considering
he is legal practitioner of some repute.
On cross-examination he stated that all
he knew about 1t was that he had never
heard his reputation attacked, and in
law he had learned that was the very
best kind of reputation. He had never
heard 1t said that Louis smoked opium,
but If he did so indulge he would not con-
slider 1t would affect his reputation for
truth and veracity
In as much as it has been found that
the opium habit undermines the moral
attributes Of the victim, and that therein
strange that Mr.. Copeland should pro-
fess his ability to accept without ques-
tion the words Of dope" fiend.
In as much as John Hail. the architect,
had knocked out big chunks of Ham :
mond Bells testimony, the prosecu-
tlOA lclt no eILOTI unCurneO TO damage
the character of the witness. Walter
S. Moore, the fire chief, stated that he
had known Hall for about ten years and
that his reputation for truth, ETC., had
been bad. George E. Gard, the detective
who has worked up the case for the pros
ecution, also gave Mr.. Hall bad repu-
tation and said he wouldn't believe him
under oath.
Then the defense had a twirl again
and put several witnesses on the stand
to testify to Halls good reputation and
sterling character. There was an ele-
ment of the ludicrous in the situation.
The prosecution, of which Deputy Dis
trict Attorney McComas is nominally
the head and front, was impeaching the
character Of the witness. and the de-
fense, among others, put Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Williams upon the stand
to speak to the sterling worth of Mr.
Hall.
This was simply one more added to the
many anachronisms that are distinguish
ing the trial.
About o'clock the court, jury and Of
f1cers adjourned for the purpose of Wis
iting the scene of Wong Chee's murder,
and the further hearing will be contin-
ued this morning.

SPANISH WOMEN DON'T EMleRATs.
d Prejudice Which Has Had important
ECect In South America.

1,GecC In SOuun AMcxACHs
During the 400 years that have elapsed
since the discovery Of the new world by
Columbus the stream of European emf
yration to North and South America has
continued almost uninterruptedly. Whlle
tho emiarants from other European coUn-
tries have been nearly evenly divided be-
tween men and women, the emigration
from Spain and Portugal, and more par
ticularly from Spain, going to South or
Central America or the islands OF the west
Indies has been almost exclusively male
AS a result of this the countries settled by
the Spanish and Portuguese have come 20
havc their present mixed population
through the intermarriage of foreign eni-
grants with Indian women, whereas IN the
North American States there have peen
few such marriages, and the Indian popu
lation is In most OF them practically eA
tinct.
Many writer's have wrestled with thu
question why in past ages Spanish womeI
have uniformly been reluctant to emigrat,
and Join with men in the foundation Q
civilization in the countries into which
Spanish arms haze been carried In trl
unph, Some have ascribed this reluctanc
to timidity. but that is probably not tn
true reason, for. Spanish women are IN N
respect more timid than their Italian Sis
tiers, and these in great numbers have eml
grated with their husbands, fathers or chill
dren to the now world. Other writer's hav
nscribed the unwillingness OF Spanish VIC
men to the turbulent condition OF affair

Frictional Losses In steam Turbines.

The speed factor Of tho energy delivered
by steam turbines is SO high and the force
factor is so small that even o slight fric-
tional resistance to rotation Of the motor
shaft is seriously detrimental If not fatal
to good economy. The revolving disk, ring
or whatever supports the working vancs
must move, relatively to the fixed guide
yanes or nozzles, with very little or no rub
bling friction.
One particular turbine. rated at 10
horsepower, has wheel inches in diam
eter, which runs at about 25, 900 rcvolu-
tions per minute. This corresponds to a
peripheral velocity of over $4,000 feet per
minute. To transmit ono horsepower ut
this speed requires tangential force at the
rim Of only 80, 600 plus 52, 900 equals 0.635
pounds, or 6.35 pounds to transmit 10
horsepower. 1t is evident from this that

sawdust and Deiirium rremens.

When it was reported, toward the close
of 1899. that German chemist had sue
seeded in making a first rate brandy out
of sawdust, the incident was noticed in
publication under the heading, "a New
Danger to Teetotalisln, and commented
on it in the following strain: "We are
friend of the temperance movement and
want it to succeed. But what chance will
it have when q man can take ripsaw and
go out and get drunk with fence rails
What is tho use of prohibitory liquor law
if man Is able to make brandy smashes
out of tho shingles on his roof, or If he
can get delirium tremens by drinking the
legs of his kitchen chairs? You may shut
up an inebriate out of gin shop and keep
him away from taverns but If he can be-
come uproarious on boiled sawdust and des-
located window sills any effort must neccs-
sarily be failure. "-Chambers' Journal

AN ODD SEARCH FOR GOLD.
Taxider1nist Dixon's Mission in Colorado
WiIds.


Wi1ds.
Frank Dixon, the taxidermist of 721
Walnut street, who left this city three
weeks ago to hunt for gold in Colorado,
which he thought he could locate from
gold dust which he found on deer's teeth,
has written back that he is still on the
hunt and in no wise discouraged.
in which he undertook it, would seem to
many like wild goose chase. Dixon
was the only taxidermist in this city.
Birds and animals came to him from
over all the West to be stuffed and
mounted. A year ago he received two
deer's heads from Colorado to be mount
ed, and when Dixon skinned them he
noticed yellow substance on the teeth.
He examined the teeth closely in the
light and thought he saw a sparkle.
He argued this way: "The deer came
from Colorado, the land of gold; they
browsed on grass that grew where there
was so much gold that it's dust got on the
grass and became incruSted on the deer
teeth; it only remains to find the exact
spot where the deer were shot, and there
will be found the gold"
Dixon took the teeth to dentist and
he said the incrustation was really a
gold deposit. He took them to his
became as enthusiastic as Dixon. Dixon
then wrote to the man who had sent him
the deer's heads and found out where
the deer were shot, away out beyond
Denver in the wilds of Colorado. Schnet-
ter and Dixon started three weeks ago
for that place.
A letter received today from Dixon
states that Schnetter has started back
for Kansas City, but Dixon, still full of
hope, was about to start on three
weeks tour along the south fork of the
White river. He had found no trace of
gold, but the woods were full of grouse
and deer He had examined the teeth
of all the deer shot, and they were all
incrusted with the yellow, shining deposit
which he was sure was gold.-Kansas

A FAMOUS OCEAN RACE.

won &S0 ,OOU.
On September 6, 1866, the most extra
ordinary race by ships across the ocean
came to close by their arrival in Lon
don within few minutes of one another,
after very long voyages as regards dis
tance On May 80 of that year the
three competing vessels, the Serica, Ariel
and Tapping, passed the bar of the
harbor of Foochow. on the east coast
of China, a port which since 1912 has
been open to foreign commerce, and is
one of the principal tea markets. They
were preceded on the previous day by
the Fiery Cross, and were followed Ola
the 31st by the Taitslng, both of which
sailed from that same port. The next
news heard of them came by telegraph
from AMER, an island in the straits of
Sunda, in the Malay Archipelago. The
Fiery Cross passed there on the 10Th
of June, and the three racing vessels
on the 23d, all within a few hours of
each other, having run the distance from
Foo Sh1 il 7a twcnt{ otd days On Sep
the arrival of these three ships in the
Downs, the Ariel and Tapping having
arrived at a. M. and the Serica passing
Deal at 1 p. M. They had all steam
tugs in attendance, and were pushing
on for the Thames with all possible expe-
dition. The distance, 1000 miles, had
been run in ninety-nine days, and it
appeared that the Ariel and Tapping
ran almost neck and neck the whole pas
sage, the Serica following close in their
wake The result of this extraordinary
race was declared to be as follows:
Tapping, locked in London docks 9:45
p. NJ, first: Ariel, docked in East India
docks 1915 p. M, second; Serica, locked
in West India docks 11:30 p. M, third.
