DEMOCRAT FOR
WARDEN At THE
FOLSOM PRISON
Decision Reached by
Board of Directors.

The vacancy in the office of Warden
Folsom State prison, caused by the death
of Charles Aull. is engageing the atten-
ton of the offce-seeking fraternity. Inc
Board of Prison Directors held meeting
at Folsom day before yesterday ano
placed Captain Murphy temporarily at
the head of affairs at the institution Inc
temporary appointment does not signify
that Captain Murphy will be chosen to
permanently fill the vacancy
On Saturday next the board will meet
again and at that time a new Warden
may be elected. At the last meeting the
directors discussed the subject, and while
they did not agree to support any can
didate, did reach the definite decision to
appoint a Democrat to I'LL the vacancy.
Among the Republican aspirants for the
wardenship is Mark b. Ivory of Byron,
who was formerly Sheriff of Contra Costa
County. Mr.. Ivory also served one term
as State Prison director, succeeding
The determination of the directors to
appoint a Democrat to fill the vacancy at
Folsom will doubtless cause widespread
commotion in Republican circles. The
comment is made that Governor Gage
may intervene and suggest the appoint
ment of a Republican, There may be IN
Southern Cal Irnia or elsewhere just
such another man as Aguirre, who was
elected to succeed Hale as Warren at San
Quentin, but if there be one it is hoped
that Gage will not produce him as can
didate.
Mark B. Ivory, who is mentioned as an
hy Assemblyman C. M Belshaw. 1t is
said that Mr. Ivory made a first-class
record as Sheriff of Contra Costa County.
The information comes to The Call from
an authentic source that the board has
firmly resolved to select a Democrat. 1t
is not unusual for Democratic Warden
to hold office through Republican ad-
ministration of State affairs, and neither
is it unusual for Republican Warden to
hold under Democratic regime. The di-
rectors assert that a capable man will be

Unwarranted and Malicious Suit
Against Citizens Executive

John f. Talbot and Edward E.

W. A. Bourne. who AYERS that he was
a member of Battery A. have filed a suit
against the citizens executive committee

Monday next General Shafter will retire
from the regular army as a brigadier gen.
eral, put It is still a question whether or
not ne Will remain as a major general OF
volunteers, with the chances greatly IL
his favor. There is nothing in the laws
governing volunteers which in any way
refers TO retirement for age, and so IT is
quite within precedent to keep Shafter
in harness until volunteer troops have
ceased to come and go through this de-
partment The care of the outgoing and
incoming volunteers has been matter
much more serious than is generally i'm
ag1ned. and the fact that there has been
no trouble and no delays is due to the
fact that they have been well handled.
1t is argued, therefore, that the Govern
ment will not relieve General Shafter
while there is so much work for which he
IS eminentlY fitted to be done. Dispatches
from the East state that several of the
older colones will be raised to the vacant
place as brigadier and then retired, their
promotion being in the nature Of a reward
for faithful service and to enable them to
retire on the pay Of general instead OF
that of a colonel, and that then the va
cancy will go either to Lawton or Mac

and every one had a cheer for the men
who fought so well.
The column passed up Market street to
Van Ness avenue, and then. when its head
reached Bush street, the reviewing Of
ficers, with Governor Stanley and General
Funston, turned out and watched the men
go by. They went no farther with the
regiment.
AT the gates Of the Preside there was
another crowd, smaller but quite as en-
thusiasuc as any that had been passed by
on the street, which dropped In behind
the column and followed it noisily to its
place among the tents.
Then came an invitation to dine with
the men from Montana. The two COM
mands are old comrades in arms: they
fought side by side all the way from
Manila to San Fernando, and the Montana
their welcomes. There was a fine meal
awaiting the Kansas men, and they were
not slow to make the most of it, for trans

A Use for Liuuefied Air.

It is reported that new use has
been found for liQuefed air, the posi-
bilities of which have been matters OF
discussion among scientific men for
some time. According to the Mining
Reporter, a discovery was made recent
ly by which it is now practical to use
liquefled air in underground work, such
as mining, driving tunnels and sinking
shafts. It is said that under proper
conditions the liberation OF air from
the liquid can be effective in general
ing power with which to run drills I'M
der ground, pumps, hoists, etc., while
cool air can also be supplied in the
deepest mines. The liquid air can al
so be used in freezing soft ground,
making tunnel cutting less hazardous
and tedious. If there is any reliabil-
ity in this reported discovery, and it's
success can be practically demonstrat-
ed, it will make new departure in the
lines of work named, and once again
make the genius of science the soul OF
industrial progress.

Although the Italians as nation

cavalry of the Italian army has during
the last few years cultivated the art of
riding horseback to a much greater
