SUPERVISORS TAKE ACTION
DANGER OF INFECTION FROM
RETURNING SOLDIERS.

Supervisors Aigeltinger, Holland, Deasy
and Byington, accompanied by Health
Officer OBrien and Colonel Sullivan, the
Mayors private secretary, visited the
PeSthouse yesterday for the purpose of
inspecting the new building that is be-
ing constructed for the accommodation of
the lepers. The contractors having the
work in charge are rushing the work of
construction. and promise to have the
building ready for occupancy within ten
days.
Health officer OBrien showed to the
Supervisors the necessity of having some
place for the care and treatment of small
past few days two cases of smallpox have
been discovered in this city, and that the
Health Department authorities had been
compelled to isolate the patients in priv
ate houses for the very good reason that
there is no place at the Pesthouse where
they can be cared for He also pointed
out the fact that smallpox may be
brought to this city by the troops re-
turning from Manila. Should this be the
the health authorities to prevent the
spread of the disease unless they are pro-
vided with facilities for the isolation and
treatment of patients brought from for
eign shores.
The force of these arguments was so
apparent that the Supervisors promised
for the present to allow the lepers to re-
main in their present quarters in the old
building and to reserve the new build
until such a time as there is no longer
any danger, such as now exists by rea-
son of the return of the troops from in
fected ports.

CLARK SENTENCED TO
LIFE IMPRISONMENT II
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL rs
DENIED BY THE COURT.
Judge Dunno and Counsel for the De-
Tense Exchange Compliments.
Other Convicts Sentenced

Joseph Clark, the murderer of Fireman
Joseph p Gross, was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life in Folsom penitentiary
by Judge Dunno yesterday. Prior to the
passing of sentence motion for new
TRIAL was made on behalf of the defend
ant by his counsel II. Digby Johnston.
1t was denied. Associate Counsel Louis
z. Boardman took an exception to the
denial and sentence was passed. Clark
was not moved and, the ordeal over, he
took his seat.
The murder for which Clark was SEN
fenced to a living death occurred in No
vernber of last year. He accused his
victim of having betrayed his wife and
ruined his home, and deliberately sought
him out and killed him. These conten-
tions entered into the defense, together
with a theory of self-defense, and the
doubt raised in the minds of the jury
thereby saved Clarks neck.
During the proceedings yesterday Judge
Dunno referred to the friction between
the court and Mr.. Johnston during the
trial of the case. Judge Dunno said that
in his opinion any remarks that were
made by Mr. Johnston during the trial
were the result of zeal and not desire to
be contemptuous to the court. Mr.. Board
man responded and all unpleasantness
was smoothed over and the matter was
declared closed.
John Mcdonald. convicted of an attempt
to commit burglary, was sentenced to
two years and six months imprisonment
at San Quentin Warren Wilson, con-
victed of grand larceny, was given term
of ten years in Folsom.

JURORS FEES QUESTIONED.
City Attorney Finds No Law Author
izing the Board of Supervisors
TO Act

In an opinion rendered yesterday by
City and County Attorney Lane to the
Board of Supervisors he advises the
board to refuse to audit the demands of
grand jurors and trial jurors acting in
criminal cases, as he fails to find in the
statutes any authorization for making
jurors fees charge against the city
treasury. In conclusion he says:
The question is one of such confusion
and doubt that it has seemed to me, in
the interest of the city, that this matter
should be referred to the courts for a
final determination, and to this end, as
matter of legal form, / advise that you
reject one or more demands of each class
which are otherwise regular in form upon
the cold ground that they are without
warrant in law. This course will doubt
less lead to a speedy discovery of the ex-
tent to which the Supreme Court intended
the language of the Hilton-Curry decision
to have application"

The King Grass.

Mr.. a1enry Stubbs writes in the De-
Funiak Herald about a new grass,
found growing in the yard OF DR.. King
OF that place, which promises to be a
good forage crop The following will
give our readers some information
about this grass
A new grass has made its appear
ance in this locality which may be of
lncalculable good to this section. Some
time since Dr.. J. +. Ning found grow
ing on his place, lin fact, in his yard,
4 grass entirely new to hi N. How
it.gOt there he is at a loss TO know
1t may have been left 10y the passG &c
off birds, or it may have been Orolght
in the hay in which his medicines
were packed Be that as it may, the
grass lis here and Dr. King deserves
credit for caring for and securing a
liberal start of this now promised for
age. And now since the grass must
have a name we will call it the King
grass. LOT 1T is H1IluCulIy
\ few days since, Mr.. Michael King
called our attention to the grass and
we walked to his hOme to see it. 1t
is not a lawn grass but is distinctive
ly forage. 1t grows luXuriantly with
out fert lizer and to the height of two
or more feet. seeds early and ripens
i'm a few weeks. 1t grows without fer
tilizer, and several crops may be cut in
a season.
We understand stock are very fond
of it, and when planted it grows so
rapidly THAT no other grass or weed
can live. From what We can see OF
the grass, and from what Mr.. King
and Mr.. Plank says of it, we have ev-
cry reason to think it che coming sum-
mer grass.
Mr.. King Will save seed and we hope
next summer to see quite an acreage.
We promise to keep our eye ON the
new forage and will from time to time,
advise the farmers of what may be
hoped from it.

Money in Velvet Beans.

E'lorida all along has been recognize
ed and acknowledged to be a great
fruit producing State It's orange, es-
pecially being reputed to be the finest
in the markets of the world, is a great
wealth-giving product, and the bust
ness, cut back 10y disasters of late, will
grow and increase as the years go by,
and in this line of produce Florida will
lead in and govern. But there are 9th
er sources of wealth in Florida. There
are many other resources that are be.
ing used and develOped; it's cane and
corn, cassava and cotton; it's phOs-
pilates and factories; it's kaolin and
Ochre mines; it's rice, potatoes, vegeta-
'bles for home and for shipment; it's
general fruits and flowers and field
crops, it's great fisheries many things
not necessary to enumerate here.
THE question has $50 often been ask
ed, can you grow corn in paying guam
titles in Florida? Yes, and other field
crops, but the great stock feed crop
that is rapidly getting to the front as
one of the best paying industries is the
velvet bean. 1t is a rank grower, COM
pletely shades and enriches the
ground lis a summer crop and is won
derfully prolific. 1t will grow any
where and is easy of cultiva tion. 1t
is good for fattening horses and hogs
and beef cattle and is a great milk
producer when fed to dairy COWS. 1t
takes the place of corn in many ways
and is vastly more productive.
Mr.. w. H. Roberts, of Augusta, Ga,
who owns several orange groves on
Lake Weir, who is a wholesale butch
er in his Georgia home and who there
runs fertilizer factory, a practical
man of affairs, says there is great
money to be made i'm growing velvet
beans and feeding to beef cattle. He
is now engaged in that business. His
plan is to raise and to buy beef cattle

Mr.. Roberts says that by feeding vel

He estimates that three months fatren
ing on velvet beans is required at q
cost of $1.OO per month as against $500
per month where cotton seed meal is
used. He says it will pay stock men To
feed their cattle on these beans instead
of letting them grow poor in THE Win
ter months on the range.
