Warden Hale Has More Than
-Four Million Grain Bags
on Hand.
FITZGERALD MADE PRESIDENT
]. Il. Wilkins, San Rafael Lawyer
and Newspaper Man, Seated as
Member Of the Beard.

The Board of State Prison Directors met
in regular monthly session at San Quentin
yesterday. J. H. wilkins OF San Rafael
the newly appointed member of the board,
took his seat after being introduced by
Jacob Neff.
Director Fitzgerald was unanimously
chosen president of the board for the ensu-
ing year.
Professor Robinson OF the Hamilton
Grammar School of this City presented a
petition in behalf of John McAdoo, who
was sent up in 1889 for ten years for assault
TO murder. Five years ago McAdoo IVAN
dered away" from the prison and thereby
forfeited two years credits. The petition
ers asked that these be restored, that Nc
Adoo may be soon released. Upon Profes-
sor Robinson's promise to look after the
old man and be responsible for him the
petition was granted.
Applications for pardons for Jose and
francisco AiviSu were received and taken
under advisement. The two brothers were
sentenced to life imprisonment in 1879 for
the murder of Dutch John IN Chular Can
yon. Monterey County.
The petition sets forth the fact that
Euladio Martinez, one of the chief wit
nesses against the brothers. died IN prison
fessed to Rev. William Hills of Berkeley,
then prison chaplain, that his testimony
against the brothers was periured. AT the
trial he had sworn that he rode by and
saw the brothers burning Dutch Johns
body, and his testimony aided materially
i'll their conviction. III. V. Morehouse,
who was District Attorney of Monterey
County at the time, has written letter
asking that they be pardoned, as he be-
lieves they have been punished enough by
sixteen years imprisonment.
Ex-Prison Director J. ]. Scrivener laid
before the board proposition to buy The
Gilman patents for bottle coverings made
of tules. He stated that, owing to the
reduction of the tariff, there was no profit
now i'll the manufacture. If the patents
were purchased it would give work for 200
prisoners, yet the product Of their labor
would not come into competition with free
labor. The matter was referred to a COM
mittee composed OF Directors Wilkins, De
Pue and fitzgerald.
Warden Hale reported 937, 900 grain bags
sold and orders coming in rapidly. He
has a, 900 bags on hand and is manufac-
turing Is 900 a day. The Warden has re-
ceived an offer from Williams, Dimond &
Co. for 5000 sugar bags at So TO hum
dred also an offer of SIS a hundred for

important branches of government abso-
Lutte authority is the rule. Soldiers and
sailors cannot form opposing parties. con-
tending for the balance of power. Their
only duty is to obey. Hence the American
army and navy are a credit to the Repub-
lie, though not so lsrge as those of some
other nations. A similar system of govern
ment ought to rule in cities. Villages can
be ruled by the people, but large cities re-
quire a governmental regime which will
force and oblige public servants to do their
duty. If we are to have Mayor. let him
be something more than fgure-head at
meetings and banquets.
LET us hold him responsible for the
right exercise of the ruling power which
the people contide in him. This man,
thus kept before the public eve, would be
better than the mysterious political boss.
Bosses are well enough, save when their
schemes are in danger. There may be
honor among thieves, but there is none
among rats striving to escape from sink
ing ship, nor among politicians in danger
of losing their coveted spoils.
SIN one word, the government of our
cities should be un-American. The Nation
may be governed by popular representation
but in the cities the ruling principle should
be submission to authority"

DEFENDING THEIR HOMES
Residents of the Mission Are
Actively Fighting the Noe
Claimants.
Attorney Van Duzer Says the Claim Is
Hopeless and Advises Again
Quito aim Deeds.

The Mission Defense Union, organized
primarily for the purpose of resisting the
claims of the Noe heirs, had well-attend-
ed meeting last evening at their hall, cor
ner of Twentieth and Guerrero streets.
John H. Grady presided, and A. P. Van
Duzer, attorney for the club, acted as Sec
retary. 1t was announced that the club
now had a membership of 551.
Attorney Van Duzer reported that dur
ing the week he had filed answers for
sixty-three defendants, making 203 mem
bers of the club who are now in court He
stated that there were now about thirty
attorneys interested i'll the case, and some
of these put in diiatory motions which
were materially delaying the suit. 1t hav-
ing been reported that some of the de-,
PENDANTS had purchased quitclaim deeds,
Mr.. Van Duzer said: IF there is any
thing absolutely certain on the face of the
earth it is that this fraudulent claim will
be defeated" He strongly urged mem
bers of the club not to purchase these
deeds, as they were absolutely worthless
and could not possibly improve their
titles.
1t was stated that some individual had
been fraudulently selling quitclaim deeds.
A motion was carried to have the execu-
ney Barnes and see if this p arty could be
prosecuted
Upon motion OF Charles Spader a COM
mittee consisting of Judge Van Reynegom,
Captain Young, d. Kelly, H. Nolte and
Charles Spader was appointed by the
chair to confer with the clubs attorney in
drawing up bill to be presented to Con-
gress, calculated to discourage such suits
as that which is now troubling the resi-
dents of the Mission.
President Grady reported for the Mis-
sion High School Club that they had
passed a resolution indorsing the prop
osition the club advocated, but this, he de-
clared, was only preliminary step. He
urged the necessity OF the members agltat-
ing the question OF Mission High School
at every opportunity.
The matter of securing the property
formerly known as the Home OF Peace
Cemetery for park was informally dis
cussed. Communications were read from
Hebrew congregations interested in the
property, in which they promised to give
their earliest attention to the clubs propo-
sition to purchase the land. Judge Van
Reynegom suggested that perhaps some
of the wealthy Hebrews whose families
had for years used those grounds as a
cemetery would be interested in having
their memories perpetuated by naming the
proposed park for them. Mr.. Walton said
he had come in contact with a number of
the Jewish people and they seemed in
clined to do all they could to help the park
project.
George Walton spoke enthusiastically in
favor of having Dolores street declared a
boulevard. He expressed the opinion that
a boulevard could be made OF Dolores
street that would put Van Ness avenue to
shame.
At the conclusion of the meeting all
present signed petition for Mission

REPORTS THAT DIFFERED.
The Grand Jury Found One
Thing and a Market In
spector Another.
Ben Davis Statements Co1tradictad
by Ccmmi teeme1-Nay Be-
Investigated.

The recently rendered report of the hos
pital committee Of the Grand Jury has not
as yet been officially submitted to the
Board of Health, and therefore no action
has been determined on by that body but
some of the findings of the committee
have set the board to thinking, and it is
not unlikely that an investigation may
follow in the near future.
One of the things that strike the mem
bers of the board as peculiar is that the
Grand Jury members reported that they
had found the meat at the City and
County Hospital to be unfit for the use OF
the patients, while Chief Market In
spector Ben Davis, in his recently rem
dered monthly statement, reported that
he had found all of the supplies of the hos
pital to be in good condition.
While declining to express any judg-
ment on the matter !, nding the official
notice from the Grand Jury, it is evi.
dent that the mem bers of the board are
somewhat worried at the discrepancy in
the two reports, and that the subject Will
be given close scrutiny before it is allowed
to drop.
Davis is supposed, in the course of his
duty, TO visit regularly all of the public
institutions under the control of the Board
of Health and to report on the condition
of the food supplied to the inmates.
Whether he failed to make his rounds as
required by the department regulation or
failed to report matters as He found them.
or whether the three gentlemen who con.
stitute the hospital committee of the Grand
Jury were entirely mistaken in their esti-
mate of the condition of the City and
Couny Hospital meat must be decided bv
the board on the evidence it can get.
1t is not long since DAVIS was under in
vestigation on charges of serious nature
and came near losing his position. 1t was
alleged that he had falsified his records in
order to cover an error or even worse
offense, and that he had been derelict in
his duty as Chief Inspector.
After the evidence was all in, DR.. Morse
one of the most conservative members oi
the board, declared himself to be decid.
edly OF the belief that Davis was guilty
and against retaining him longer in the
employ of the board. The other members
were inclined to take more lenient view
of the matter, however, and voted to re-
tain Davis. He was censured after being
warned to be more careful in the future.
and the matter dropped there.

Branching Out.

Will T. Valentine, the well-known all

Quoted tailor-shop at 8 Powell street, has
removed to larger quarters at SIG Geary
street, near Taylor. Here he has branched
out with a complete merchant tailoring
establishment by putting in a full stock of
the latest spring novelties. Mr.. Valentine
is one of the young business men of this
City who may be congratulated upon his
success, having begun in a small way a
few years ago and gradually built up a
lucrative patronage. The secret of his
success has been goou workmanship and
strict attention to business. Mr.. Valentine
is popular member OF several organiza-
tions, among them THE CALL Bicycle Club.

Employers.
Emma Ducos, 81 years of age, was booked
at the City Prison last night by De tectives
Egan and siivey on charge of grand lar
ceny.
Emma came here about two months ago
from Galveston, Texas, and soon after
ward was engaged by Mrs. St. German.

She procured situation with Godfrey
Fisher, S24 O'Farrell street, and in ten
days disappeared, taking with her dia-
mond ring valued at $l25, lot Of 81 Tx
handkerchiefs and other articles.
Her next and last appearance was at
the residence of Mrs. M. Sullivan, 27Ol
Cali fornia street, but she had mot time to
make her usual haul.
The police had been notified OF the thefts
and Egan and Silvey traced her to Mrs.
Sullivan's residence. They went there On
Friday afternoon and found in her room
most of the stolen articles and a pawn
ticket for the diamond ring, which she had
disposed of for $11. They at once placed
her under arrest.

A Benefit Being Planned in the Italian
Colony.
A dramatic performance is being planned
under the direction of Cav. Calegaris and
Mrs. Ghibandi for the benefit of the
wounded Italian soldiers in Africa
AS soon as the news of the disaster in
Abyssinia was telegraphed l'Italia opened
a subscription list for the benefit of the
wounded and the assistance of the widows
and families in Italy left suddenly desei-
tute by the massacres. La Voce del Popoo
and the Italian Consul also opened SUBJ
scrIption lists.
1t is to aid rItalia's fund that the dra-
matte benefit is being planned. That
newspaper has already raised the sum OF
s1400 dollar by dollar and cent by cent.
Over a thousand dollars of the amount has
come from small country places in this
State and from workmen and ranch hands
in Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Idaho.
Many of the letters which have accompa-
MED the amounts have been from people
who could scarcely write, and some of the
bellicose remarks on the subject Of the
Abyssnians contained in the letters have
been quaint and interesting.
