OF his idea. Weymouth, who is a student
in the mechanical department at the
Berkeley university, went to work and ex-
perlmented for long time with the
librarians ideas. He worked early and
late and met with many failures, but
finally he was successful and he produced
mechanically what Mr.. Harbourne had
devised in theory.
The indexer was explained to the trust
ees of the library at their last meeting,
and they expressed themselves as thor
oughly satisfied that young Weymouth
had produced perfect indexer and or
dered a supply.
II was never more surprised in my life, !"
saiu Librarian Harbourne, ITO find how
completely the lad had carried out my
ideas. Several Librarians have been over
here to see it and all are of the same opin-
ion, I am going to explain it to the
librarians of Central California at their
annual meeting this week, and | must say
am proud to show the handiwork OF an
Alameda boy"
In outward appearance the new indexer
is an oak box, % inc es deep. % inches
broad and stands 4 feet high. In front is
leaf the height of an ordinary writing
table.
From this MP the face slants back and is
set with glass, exposing the names of the
books upon two continuous rolls of linen.
These are turned DY crank with tne leII
hand, leaving the right hand free to copy
off names and numbers of books wanted.
The interior mechanism consists of two
large spools on which 100 yards OF linen
cardholder is wound. They are placed on
each of two parallel shafts, those belong
ing to the same cardholder being opposite
each other. These two shafts are rotated
by means of bevel gearwheels, placed on q
shaft perpendicular to the two parallel
shafts, which is itself connected to the
crank. There is a double worm which
automatically disengages one pair Of gear
wheels and engages another pair whenever
the crank is reversed, thus causing the
cardholder to move either up or down.
An automatic brake arrests the motion of
the spools when the crank stops.
The operator by moving lever in front
causes 8 clutch to move on the shafts,
making either card dholder move inde-
pendently at will.

SCHUYLER SENTENCED.
The Stockbroker Goes to San Quentin
for Five Years

The Stock broker Goes to San Quentin
for Five Years.
In expiation of his crimes Norman
Schuller, the whilom king of the cocktail
route, will spend five years in the peni-
tentiary at San Quentia. Judge Wallace
yesterday imposed that sentence on him.
he having pleaded guilty of forgery.
Schuller is the son of a respectable
couple, who reside in Oakland. He was
engaged In busln ess as a stock broker. but
became enamored OF hard liquor and set
the pace that kills. In order to obtain
funds with which to continue his orgies,
having spent all his own money, he re-
sorted to the scheme OF signing other
men name s TO CT mmercial paper which
he negotiated. In this manner he swim
died mum ber of his friends out of several
thousand dollars.
Yesterday Schuller was very penitent.
His attorney first addressed the court and
told of how sorry his client is that it all
lead better life if given chance to re-
deem himself. He closed by asking that
a light sentence be imp posed.
In his own behalf SchulIer said that he
is not criminal, but simply a victim of
the liquor habit, and that he is deter
mined to repay those whom he swindled
when he is again free man.
81 did not know what / was doing" said
he, land deeply regret my folly. l
promise that if am given cuance to do
so will devote the remainder OF my life
to the al leviation of the sorrows of those
to whom | have brought disgrace"
After imposing sentence Judge Wallace
granted stay OF execution for four days.
