FELONS MAKE
THE CHARGES
Former Officials Of the San
Quentin Prison Accused of
MisappropriatiOn of Money
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN, Dec. 12.-The Board
of Prison Directors are to thoroughly
investigate the claims made that Frank
Estudillio and Harry Mcclure. former
attaches of San Quentin prison. have
received money from convicts and have
not turned it in to the Warden's office.
Some convicts to-day declared to the
members OF the board that they had
received money from various sources,
turned ii over to either Estudillio or
Mcclure to place to their credit, but
later found out that it had never been
done. One man asserted that he had
indorsed a draft for $47 80 and gave it
to Mcclure to keep for him. There is
no record upon the prison books Of any
such transaction. The convict, how
ever, has registered letter telling that
the money was sent to him, and there
Is some doubt about the testimony OF
the confined men.
The matter came UP first during the
open session this morning. Letters
were read from John Williams and
Francisco Gardelli stating that they
had given money to prison officers to
Keep IOT luefIl, DuL lIldl subsequently
they ascertained it had never been
placed to their credit. The letters called
forth exhaustive discussion from the
members.
This is a bad piece OF business"
said Chairman Fitzgerald, "and we
must sift 1t to the bottom. We will in
vestigate it and take testimony in open
session this afternoon"
The board was surprised at the in
formation obtained. Warden Tompkins
also informed the board that a certain
woman had given money for the pur-
chase of books for the library. that the
money had been turned over to Nc

PRISON NEEDS

California's State Prison at
San Quentin Is Depleted
JUTE BAGS NOT IN DEMAND
Directors Discuss the Neces-
sity of Compelling the
Farmers to Fulfill Contracts

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Dec. 12.-
The State Board Of Prison Directors
met this morning. All the members
were present except Robert Devlin. A
large volume Of business was trans
acted. The depleted condition Of the
prison fund caused extended discussion
From the failure Of the crops last year
over 1000, 900 jute bags are on hand and
uncalled for. Upon these a deposit of
10 per cent has been paid but owing
to their not being called for the prison
fund is short over $60,000 From this
fact a great many expenditures which
should have been made for running the
prison could not be made and many
contemplated improvements essential
to the welfare of the convicts, as well
as for the advancement Of the penal
institution, must be dispensed with un-
til money from the sale of the jute bags
comes in.
The board at It's last session decided
that the bags on hand and contracted
for must be delivered and paid for, or
at least that the balance due on the
same must be liquidated. Consequently
the ranchers who contracted for sacks
were notified to pay the amount due.
This morning many letters from farm
ers were read They asserted their un-
willingness to fulfill the contracts at
this time.
Owing to the depleted fund the board
ordered all consumers notified that the
balance must be forthcoming at once
or the contracts will be annulled. The
deposits amount to about $1,000.
Many persons appeared to-day and
offered evidence in regard to applica-
tions for parole.

Sleeping Room.

The sleeping room should be well venti-
lated and kept cool No one should sleep
in hot room. Before going out In the
morning gargle the throat with cold wa
ter and splash the face and neck with
cold water. This is a preventive to
catching cold. Those who are especially
liable to cold should take a tablespoon
full of Peruna before breakfast.
Exercise.
brisk walk in the open air before the
midday meal Is necessary for good
health. Those who have a touch Of ca
tarrh or a cold should take a tablespoon
full of Peruna before the midday meal.
Confinement.
Those confined to the house or once
during the afternoon should be sure to
take some exercise before dinner or the
evening meal. December being the most
trying month, as 1t ushers in Winter, all
people who have ever been troubled with
catarrn should take a tablespoonful Of
Peruna before supper.
Sunlight.
The long nights and short days Of De-
cember make sunlight so scarce that
every ore should get as much Of the
direct rays Of the sun as possible. Let
sun into the house. Walk on the sunny
side of the street. Keep in the sun all
you possibly can. Take tablespoonful of
Peruna at bedtime.

Yesterday formal complaints were
prepared and filed before the Board

Men Of Prominence Do Not Hesitate

The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true to-day of most propri-
etary medicines. But Peruna has be-
come so justly famous. it's merits are
known to so many people of high and
low station, that no one hesitates to see
his name in print recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men

Aberdeen yesterday on their way
home from the Canadian north

as not at all pleased with the
country they had visited and
where they had expected to take
up land belonging to the govern

Gust Gabrielson of Dunlap, de.
clared that he would not live III
that region for anything. He
has been in South Dakota for
twenty years and nothing would
induce him to go from this state
to that country. He found many
people there on the same errand,
and also found many who had
gone there pulling out for the
United States. He says a bad
blizzard prevailed there only
few days ago and he considered it
a little bit too late. for successful
stock and grain raising.

NOT A SOFT SNAP.

The investigation of the con-
duct of President Garrett Drop
pers of the University of South
Dakota. shows that he was a
very dangerous man to have in
such position. The charges
against him are that he once
wrote letter in improper form;
and that he smoked and occasion
ally drank wine; that he believed
IN government ownership of rail-
roads; that he was not as good as
he ought to be; that he tempted
Senator kittridge with wine and
was tainted by the Unitarianism
of Harvard. On one occasion he
contributed two bottles of beer to
the composition of a Welsh rare
bit at the home of a woman who
was prominent member of the
w. c. T.. U. Vermillion, it seems,

Droppers made his first great
mistake.
