Through the cooperation of the Jour
nal and the postotiicc authorities in this
city, ii has been customary to display
bulletins of war news for the benefit of
the public, in front of the government
building. Since the censorship of the
wires few of these have appeared as it
has been intended to place nothing on the
boards in the shape Of rumorS. and to
post only verified bulletins. This policy
has been adhered to ever since the bull
letinS Were first given. Conditions have
arisen. and restrictions have been placed
on the display of the war news. to such
an extent that it is unavoidable to dis
continue this service for the present
time and hereafter no bulletins of
this news will be displayed from the pub
Tic building. In making this announce
mcnt the Journal desires to express
its regrets, as it has been pleased
to furnish such news as was de
sired by the post office. and it has
seemed proper place to display govern
mcnt news, and the postal authorities
have willingly done the work connected
with the same, while the advantage has
been largely rcaped by evening papers
daily bulletins as given by the Associated
Press will appear only at the office of the
Journal.

A SEWERAGE SYSTEM
 FOR FOLSOM PRISON
OFFICIALS ALLOW THE NECES-
 SARY DEFICIENCY.
The Pollution of the American and Sacramento Rivers Will Soon
 Be Stopped.

Before very long the Board of State Prison Commissioners will begin the con- struction of a sewerage system for the prison at Folsom, whereby the refuse and disease breeding drainage of that institu- tion will be emptied elsewhere than into the American River. For years past the drainage of the prison has been into this river, which flows into the Sacramento, from which the inhabitants below obtain their supply for drinking and household public health. During the past few years the infected waters of the rivers have caused considerable sickness among the inhabitants along their banks. rms sup ject was taken up several weeks ago by The Call, and the dangers thoroughly ex- posed The people of Sacramento became aroused and great fight was maQe against the continuance of the menace to public health. Indignation meetings were held and the officials of the city and county demanded that some system be be carried into other channels than that from which the drinking water or thou sands of people is taken.
 The efforts in the cause of more sani- tary measures had their effect, but the State officers moved slowly, being ham, pered by a certain amount of red tape, which had to be unwound first. At last the tape line reached it's end and the State Board of Prison Directors began a move in the right direction. They de- cided that it was not right that the e,5 pG,L5 luton Of the rivers Tn thlS way Snouiu continue and the health of the public endangered In this conclusion they were supported by the Penal Code of the State which declares that the pollution of r1v- CTS and other streams is a crime. Having arrived at this conclusion they next con- suited their finances and found that the funds at their disposal were little shy for so large an undertaking as the con struction of a sewerage system for the prison.
 Their next move was to consult the Governor and the Attorney General. Yes terday Governor Budd and Attorney Gen. eral Fitzgerald decided to allow the Pris- on Directors to create a deficiency Tor s15 00O. With this sum at their disposal the Prison Directors will at once begin operations, so they say That Is, they will look over the ground and see how the sewerage of the prison can be carried away from the prison in manner that will not endanger public health. So far no plans have been decided i os upon put the ne their preparation.

WoRDEN'S TIME GROWS SHORT. His Last Appeal to the Supreme
 Court Has Been Denied.

The chances of escape of Salter D. Worden, convicted of murder In wrecl1ing railroad train during the big railroad strike, are growing less every day. The last setback he got was at the hands of the Supreme Court yesterday when his petition for a writ of error was disposed of by denial His attorney made an ef- fort to get the case before the United States Supreme Court on 8 writ of error, and the grounds upon which the appeal was made were that the lower court erred in giving instruction to the jury. Also that the evidence presented by the pros- ecution was not sufficient to warrant the verdict of murder in the first degree
 with the punishment of death by hanging.
 This case has attracted as much atten- tion as any ever tried in the courts of this State. During the railroad strike five years ago a railroad train carrying troops to Sacramento to subdue the strikers was wrecked in Yolo County by the track having been tempered with The engine and tender were tumbled into a ditch, and the engineer, Clark, was killed. Wor- den and others were arrested and he was convicted. The case has been appealed to every court In the land having juris- diction, and the convicted man has been reprieved by the Governor several times

Belcher Must Sign.

The case of the Paraffine Paint Com pany against the Board of Harbor Com missioners has reached the Supreme Court. Yesterday Attorney F. A. Strat- ton for the Commissioners applied to that tribunal for writ of mandate to compel Superior Judge Belcher to order the plaintiffs to prepare the findings and de- cision In the case, in order that the Judge may sign the same. In his petition the attorney sets forth that at the conclu- sion of the trial in the lower court the Judge announced his. decision from the bench and directed the plaintiffs attor- neys to prepare the findings and decision for him. This has not been done, and 8 motion for an order to have the plaintiff 6 attorneys carry out the directions of the Sourt as stated dsSar was va ,,d denied by Judge ing, so to speak, the defendants presented the findings in accordance with the de refused to sign them The Supreme Court has ordered that Judge, Belcher see that the findings are signed, or show cause before the higher tribunal in bank on July 11th why he has not done so.

schools at the present time. Many of the classes salute the flag twice a week, and it is recommended in the course of study that at least once week the pupils pledge allegiance to their country. This programme interspersed with music fitting to the subject would in my judg- ment constitute the exercises that should take place in our schools on that occa- sion, and I believe from what I have learned from teachers that 1t will be more or less observed in the schools. These are times when patriotism Is running very high, and I wish to bear testimony to the fact that wherever I have been in the public schools I have found univer- sal evidence of a strong patriotic sentt- ment. It has been stated that the spirit of patriotism was not sufficiently incul- cated in our public schools, but I am confident that If any one should enter them he would be more than pleased with the manifestation and loyalty to the flag.
 No general order has been issued by

inald K. Webster, Superintendent

Reginald K. Webster, Superintendent of Schools-Ths matter was presented to me some days ago by gentleman who wished me to issue an order directing every schoolhouse to fly the stars and stripes on June 14. I stated on that oc- casion that as the flag foated daily over the schools, there was no necessity for such an order. Not only should the flag be displayed on the premises of every public school in this city and county, but brief exercises should be observed in the different classes consisting of an address by the teacher in which the history of the creation of the flag and its symbolism should be developed, and an address by a pupil or some appropriate recitation on the flag; that to be succeeded by patriotic quotations and a salute of the flag by the entire class and the pledging of their allegiance to 1t.
 I will say that the exercises I have just mentioned are observed in all the

POLLY WINKED HER EYE. Policeman Menihan's Hand Badly
 Torn by a Parrot in Court.

Policeman Menihan now detests poll parrots and declares that he would not have one of them In his house for love or money.
 Yesterday Menihan was the custodian of a poll parrot in Judge Mogan's court room. It had been taken by Menihan from Mrs. Otis, 566 Minna street, in virtue of q search warrant sworn out by Mrs Me Menomy, 1057 Mission street for its re- covery. Mrs. McMenomy claimed that she was the owner of the parrot, which had been twice stolen from her by Mrs. Otts the last time on May 15 last.
 When the case was called Meninan was ordered to bring the parrot into court Instead of taking hold of the top or the cage Menihan inserted his left hand through the bars and polly promptly stuck her bill into the obtruding hand and tore the flesh open. Menihan gave a yell that stopped the proceedings in the court for a moment and said some un- complimentary things about the parrot. It required all his presence of mind to prevent him from taking summary ven- geance on polly as he saw the blood pouring out of the wounds on his hand.
 The parrot was turned over to Mrs. McMenomy, much to Mrs. Otis dis gust. and she only stopped her protests when the Judge threatened to commit her for petty larceny for stealing the par rot.
 As Menihan handed the parrot to Mrs. McMenomy he said: "Shure, I wouldn't have the dirty baste in my house for a fortune. and I'm mortally glad to get rid Of if ''

HOMELESS AND PENNILEss.
A Starving Family of Three Driven
 Out Into the Streets.

Edmund Bedell, veteran of the late war, has had a run of hard luck which has left him, his wife and boy wondering where their next meal will come from.
 Bedell is a ship carpenter by trade, but age and sickness have incapacitated him for work at this business, and he has been obliged for some time past to de- pend upon such little odd jobs as he might pick up. In time these, too, gave out, and last Thursday night found the little family with nothing to eat in the house and the landlady importuning them for the rent. There was no money to pay with. however. and the family was turned out in the street to seek shelter from the hands of charity. The man went out to the City Hall and re- quested that he be allowed to sleep in the City Prison, but the officers were hearted and gave him enough money to pay a couple of days room rent. Accommodations were secured in the Winchester House, at A Third street, but the little supply of money Is ex- hausted, and unless assistance of some kind is speedily procured the little family will once again be told to move on.

A SOLDIER IN TROUBLE. Arthur Jackel Charged With At tempted Robbery and Mali

Arthur Jackel, a member of the South Dakota regiment, was arrested early yes terday morning by Policeman Connor on charges of malicious mischief and at tempted robbery.
 Jackel had been taking in the Barbary Coast, and about o'clock yesterday morning. while under the influence of liquor he entered the coffee parlors of Louis Juhl, 537 Broadway. He demanded liquor, but Juhl informed him that he did not sell strong drinks. They had some words and Jackel. after remarkins that he would get even with Juhl, went outside and threw a cobblestone through the window.
 Policeman Connor heard the crash and placed Jackel under arrest. AS he was Mayer met them, and accused Jackel of knocking him down on Broadway short ly before and attempting to rob him.

me, but it was my intention had I been at my office to-day to incorporate 1t among other directions to the principals, and I may yet do so.
 President c. L. Harrington, of the Board of Education-There is no question that the plan outlined by The Call is a splen- did one, and it should be repeated not only this year but in years to come The day should be devoted to patriotic exer- cses in all the schools. Every school house and private residence should fly the stars and stripes on that day I have suggested making Tuesday a memorable one in the minds of the school children to principals l have met during the past week, and they all agreed with me- The only reason why any special programme was not arranged Is because many of the schools will hold graduating exercises next week. Though some schools will close on Flag Day. yet am sure the occasion will be observed by patriotic ex- erciseS.

The Registration.

Tbe registration office will be kept open at night after Monday next. This was decided by the Election Commissioners yesterday, but the decision was reached only after meeting that was not as quiet as 1t might have been.
 MT Biggy asked permission of the board to keep his office open until o'clock at night In order to avoid the rush which always occurs at the close of the time for registration. MT. Frederick objected because he thought it would be an un- necessary expense so early in the cam- paign. MT. Biggy said it was his purpose which always comes In at the end of the registration time. Mir Frederick hinted that the expenses of the office were enough already, and then passage at arms between the Registrar and the Au- ditor was only stopped by the gavel of the chairman of the board
 The registration so far this year amounts to 2196; yesterdays figures were 134.
