il can easily be divided into two separate and
distinct apartments, thus making, with one of
the separated buildings three distinct cot
Iages for the use OF the inmates
1t is hardly necessary TO point out the ad-
vantsges OF being thus able to keep entirely
distinct from each other the several classes OF
Inmates, as the reform work is very much en-
couraged and facilitated by such segregation.
The buildings are now in good state of re-
pair, but will need flooring, pa ering and
painting, which Will cost about $4,000. The
plum bin2 is n good shape, and. although
some of the rooms had been closed for a long
time, there was no dampnesS or odor percepti-
Bile.
There are ffty-one acres of ground surround
ing the buildings with fine grove of trees
The buildings are connected by covered
walk, SO that even in the most inclement
weather there will be no Inconvenience in
passing from one 10 the other. They are large
and commodious and when occupied by the
Home for the Feebie-minded. the buildings
afforded accommodation for $50 children with
the iF necessary attendants. They could prob
ably accommodate nearly 200 girls at the pres
ent time.
Tie institution has an annie supply OF
water, but the city authorities have offered to
furnish free of cost fifty gallons of water per
capita per diem if the present water supply
should prove inadequate This certainly
would be ample for any possible demand of
the institution.
The city of Santa Clara also offers to extend
its sewerage system so as TO connect with that
OF the institution, and 10 furnish free of cost
electric Lighting for the grounds, and, If 1t can
be arranged, for the building, the latter
also free or al very small cost.
The institution is located on elevated ground,
some little distance from the city Of San Ia
Clara. II commands fine view OF the valley
and is a beautiful and health full spot 1t has
the advantage of lying some distance from the
puDlic road and being long way from any
large city. The proximity of Los Angeles is
one of the principal objections to the present
location of the girls school at Whittier
At small cost the girls could raise poultry
dotheir own dairying and butter-making and
be Largely self-suStaining. There is further
advantage that the institution would have no
connection even in name with any other
reformatory. Experience has shown that
where boys and girls are both inmates of the
same institution even when entirely sepa-
rated from each other, yet the common name
acts as connecting link betwe en- them and
has the effect OF demoralizing them aud re-
tarding their progress toward the right when
they leave the institution.
After having carefully examined this insti-
tuition and the advantages which it presents
Tor the purposes proposed, your committee
would urgently recon mend that at the earli-
est possible moment the girls at present COM
mltted to the State school at Whittier be
transferred 10 the former Home for the Feeble
minded at Santa Clara, and they feel confident
that the result will be TO the best interests of
the children of the State and TO all concerned.

CORN AND CHEMICALS.
Said to Have SuppIanted Barley an
Malt in Beer-MakinR

ST. LOUIS, Feb. "A dispatch from Mil
waukee says: The tremendous drop in the
barley malt product has stirred up the malt
sters, and they evince disposition t9nake
some interesting disclosures. They freely de-
clare that In many breweries barrel of beer
is being made with the use of but half lf-bushel
of barley malt, while the German standaId for
pure beer is three bushels. The claim is as
freely made That corn and chemicals have
practically supplanted barley in the produc-
lion OF the beverage of the world.
When the attention of Mr.. Aug. A.
Busch, ce-president of the Auheuser-
Busch Brewing Association, was called to
the above article he expressed no surprise
in seeing the dispatch from Milwaukee,
calling attention to the tremendous drop
in the barley malt product, but wondered
why more had not been said in public
print with reference to the matter. Con-
tinuing, he said: I'VE do not now. nor
have we ever. used corn In the production
of any OF our beers, and we have always
contended that first-ciass beer cannot be
made by using corn as a substitute for
barley malt

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 2-W. w.
Seaman of Los Angeles is 10 be the next
State Librarian. This was determined by
the action of the Republican caucus of
both branches of the Legislature, which
met tonight and selected cand. dates for
L 5rary Trustees to be voted for in Joint
session tomorrow at noon. Eleven can
didates were i'll the field and the ballot re-
suited as follows:
F. D. Ryan, Sacramento, 81; B. w. Lee
Los Angeles, As; A. B. Lennon. Santa
Rosa, 43; Thomas Flint Sr., San Juan
(Soulh). 43: Jacob H. Neff, Placer, 40; D.

Brigham, Alameda, 81; B. f. Porter, Los
Angeles, 2S; w. F. George, Sacramento
22i William Beckman, Sacramento, 5; f.
H. Short, Fresno, 5.
The hrst five named were selected. Lee,
Lennon and Flint are known to the libra
rlan. Ryan will cast his first vote for
Wallis and Neff will come ont for GilIis
As majority control, Ryan and Neff are
expected to enter the Seaman camp on the
second ballot.
1t requires unanimous vote to remove,
and as it is known that Neff is a stanch
friend OF DR.. w. ?. Matthews, the ilIcum-
ben: OF the office of State Librarian, ru-
mors were ahoat that he would not con-
sent 10 vote for Matthews removal unless
1t was agreed TO retain Matthews as assist
ant librarian. This created much sur
prise and talk, as it had been given out
that all the candidates for Library Trus-
tees had been pledged TO institute purely
Republican regime in the State Library.
1t was further rumored that Neff's
pledge left him an opening for supporting
Matthews for assistant librarian. All
doubts of Neffs position, however, were
set at rest by the production of his pledge,
sent by telegraph. 1t is as follows: al

major part of them are 16 and IL years
old. They were not in uniform, and their
clothes do not appear to be made in the
institution. In fact, they were shabby.
Some of the shoes. or brogans, made in
the institution, evidently for spectacular
purposes, were shown TO the committee.

There was CONSERVATION among the four
parties 10 the box factory combine yester-
day when it was learned that their secret
compact had been given to the world by
The CALL.
The trouble all came about through the
charge of the Commercial Company that
the Anne erican had divuged the secret
compact, and secrecy was bove all things
most essential to the success of the trust.
If the buyers once Obtained an inkling
that they were being Squeezed" it would
mean the speedy dissolution of the COM

had been a leak it was not serious enough
to attract e attention of outsiders.
When, however, The CALL published
exclusively the full details of the COM
pact, showing how buyers were TO be sub
jected TO graduated scale advancing
prices from 10 TO % per cent, and also mar.
rated the charge of the Commercial that
the Am erican had broken its pledge OF
secrecy, the mem bers OF the combine
knew that their scheme of extortion was
at an end.
A stormy meeting was held yesterday,
at which represen ia tives of all the mem
ters were present. Charges and counter
charges flew thick and fast, and it was
plainly evident that ali were suspicious OF
the American Company.
The admission of its representative that
some of its trusted EN- ployes had been
Ioid of the com blne did not lessen sus-
picion. The question was asked, how, il
only few trusted employees were in

lean people had no idea how The CALL
had unearthed the secret plot, ana conse-

The situation was discussed in all its
