JURORS MAY GET
THEIR MEALS YET
Superior Judges Will
Disregard the Super
vis0rial Ukase.
In a Good Round Hand Notice
Was Yesterday 0 fcially
Served.
An Issue Is Made Up Point Blank in
a Matter Which May Be More
Discussed Later.

The Jurors in criminal cases in the
Superior Court departments may not go
hungry after all. The Board of Super
visors at their meeting last Monday hav-
ing first fortified themselves with advice
as to the matter adopted a resolution, in
which they called attention of the Judges
OF the Superior Court ''to the determine
ton OF this board to allow no demands on
the treasury for meals furnished to jurors
subsequent to February 1, 1897"
The reason furnished for this determine
ton of the Supervisors was that compen-
sation is now allowed TO jurors for attend
ance at the rate of 81 per diem. This
notice to the Superior Court Judges was
expected to have deterrent effect upon
appetites which otherwise might be made
to assume uncommonly robust proper
tions in view OF the lunches to be provided
and heretofore provided at the expense OF
the public. 1t goes with the saying that
this measure of economy caused certain
more or less well-defined shivers to run up
and down the spines of those who have
the selection OF the proper kind of tim ber
for Jurors. However the measure was one
of economy and was supposed to ''go, !"
having the stamp of official approval
upon it.
Yesterday Judge Carroll Cook, having
thought the matter over and having con-
suited with other Judges of the Superior
Court, preferred a communication which
was addressed to the Board of Supervisors !:
In every county in the State where jurors
have always been paid for attendance in
criminal cases their meals have been uni
formly furnished by the county. would also
say that when jury has been delivered into
the charge of the Sheriff the law requires that
they should be kept together, and the court
would not be justified in keeping them TO-
gether over meal hours without nourtshment;
nor would the court be authorized TO require
the Sheriff to compel those VINO did not nave
the means to defIay the expenses of meal to
accompany others for such purpose. have
consulted other Judges OF this court in this
manner and it is the sense of all with whom
1 have SO consulted that, notwiths tanding the
fact that jurors are compensated for their
service, meals must be furnished them at the
expense of the City and County. The resolu-
tion, a copy OF which you sent to me, there
fore must be disregarded.
The anal words describe the situation.
The resolution will be disregarded, jurors
will be provided with meals as heretofore
and either the Supervisors must recede or
meet an issue.

MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION.
Speaker Reed Asked to Take Up the
Southwick Convict Bill.

Speaker Reed Asked to Take Up the
Southwick Convict Bill.
A special meeting of the directors of the
Manufacturers and Producers Assoc a.
ton was held yesterday for the particular
purpose of electirg two directors to fill
the vacancies caused by the resignation
of II. J. Crocker and Michael McGlynn.
President Julian Sonntag presided. Di.
rectors A. Mclaughlin, w. F. Bowers. j.
T. Currier, A. Sbarboro, M. j. Keller and
]. w. Kerr We're present.
The nominating committee recon-
mended as the new directors Isidor
Jacobs of 425 Brannan street and Charles
r. Allen of 144 Steuart street. These
gentlemen were at once elected.
President Sonntag read the letter OF
Congressman Southwick of New York
which was published in THE CALL yester-
day, in which he said Speaker Reed does
not seem inclined to favor the bill relat-
ing to the transportation of and branding
goods made by convicts in the Eastern
penitentiaries.
Mr.. Kerr made statement saying there
are large Eastern capitalists interested in
it's defeat, and il the Labor Committee of
the House is not recognized the bill will
never be submitted. There is money, Mr..
Kerr said back of the opposition, for
those who are making large profits out of
convict labor are not going to let the
measure come up to spoil their profits.
California suffers more than any of
the other States from prison made goods,
and something should be done. There
fore he offered resolution that Speaker
Reed be requested TO recognize the La Dor
Committee and give that body a chance to
introduce the bill; also that the state of
affairs be submitted to the labor unions of
San Francisco and their cooperation
asked in this very important matter.
Both resolutions were passed.
Director Sbarboro called attention to
the fact thai complaints had been made
that the Sanitary Reduction Works of
San Francisco are to get their boilers
from the East. He desired to state that
the company had purchased California
made boilers and would fit up its entire
garbage reduction works from California
materials. A vote of thanks was extended
to that company by the directors for the
preference its officers had given for Cali
fornia-made goods and materials.

Messages of Encouragement Received
From Law Makers in Wash
ington.

The public-spirited people of San Fran
cisco who have labored for the interests of
the Nicaragua canal project believe now
that their efforts have not been in vain.
The matter is now under consideration at
Washington, and the people of this City
have on several occasions signited their
wishes for the completion of the canal.
Among these was the Merchants Asso-
citation, which body recently passed reso-
lutions favoring the canal. A few days
ago q mass meeting under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce adopted SIM
liar resolutions.
On all such occasions copies of the reso-
lutions were forwarded to the Pacific
Coast delegates at Washington and many
favorable answers have been received.
Among the recent answers. was one to the
Merchants Association from Congress
man Hilborn as follows:
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
OF copy OF the resolutions, adopted by your
association, favoring the construction of the
Nicaragua canal l assure you that / am
heartily in accord with the spirit of these
resolutions, and shall leave nothing undone
to secure the early completion OF this most
s. &. HI1BoRN.
A few days ago the Chamber of Com
merce held a rousing mass-meeting of
business men, at which Mayor Phelan
presided. Similar resolutions were passed
and sent to Washington, D. G. The first
reply to these was dispatch sent by Will
liam 81. Doolittle of the State of Washing
ton, who has been an active worker in the
cause. He wired as follows:
WASHINGTON. D. c., January 20.
Hon. James D. PbeLdn: 1 very deeply appre-
ciate the kind words contained in your mes
sage. They encourage me to additional effort.
The Nicaragua canal means permanent pros
perity to our coast and most beneficial results
to all industries and commerce of our country.
Our Senators and Re presentatives will make
every effort possible to accomplish legislation

WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.
Charles Higgins Assaulted by a
Vendor OF Cheap Dia-

Charles Higgins of 229 Eighth street was
taken to the Receiving Hospital last night
with lacerated wound on his scalp, and
the possibility is also that his skull is
fractured. His younger brother told a
story about how Higgins was hurt.
This was that Higgins, Wednesday
night bought what seemed TO be cheap
diamond from John Rourke, peddler.
Yesterday Higgins saw Rourke and told
him that the diamond for which he had
paid 50 was not worth 10 cents. There
we're some words and Rourke struck
Higgins on the head, possibly with a
slungshot.
Last night Rourke was arrested and a
charge was entered up against him OF as

"Thc Light of the Euture"

A correspondent last week wrote
with great force of the current rapid
progress in electrical development as
an argument against 5-year light
contract.
His statement is later reinforced by
an article in the Sanitary Plumber an
nouncing that present methods of il
Elimination are to be superseded by
lamp invented and nearly perfected by
Puluj, the Austrian physicist, and call
ed by that paper '';he light of the flu
ture." 1t sis practically Crookes
tube containing phosphorescent ma
teral, which is made to give out light
by concentrating the cathode rays di-
rectly upon it." This discovery is
within what is called "the domain of
cold light - that is to say, the energy
now lost in generating heat will be
saved, so that all the productive force
will be turned into light.
According to Prof. Lodge, head
of the department of Experimental
Physics in the Universal College,
Liverpool, England
lift becomes possible to convert mechan-
ical energy into light alone, a single man
turning a crank could develop sufficient en-
ergy to light whole city. This would in
deed be a money-savng thing.
But with a 5-year contract on their
hands what will this wonderful ad-
vance in brilliancy and economy ben
eft the people of Frostburg?

The Chicago license tax on bicycles will
raise revenue, of course, but so did the Eng
lish tax on windows. Such taxes are bar
barrie, however because they assume that no
one has right to heathful and enjoyable
life without getting license for it.-New
York World.
Taxes laid on the transportation Of
trunks embellished by white ribbons
are more than "barbaric," yet the
organ of the Frostburg liverymen
seems to think its clientele did the grace
full thing.
But it was not refined, polished or
elegant procedure, and all concerned
in it either as principals or apologists
ought to be genuinely ashamed of
themselves.

Both Johnnie and the Mayor are
most excellent little fellows, but it will
be some time after the lapse of the en-
suing 5 years before the political road
becomes smooth enough for legis-
lative gallop by anybody intimately
connected with the electric light con-
tract.

JOURNAL that the Star is mistaken /;
that he is not candidate for the
Legislature, nor from the tenor of his
talk does he want any other office.
