The waterfall Of Mount Gents.

On the Italian side of Mont Cents is
a picturesque torrent. or waterfall, the
Cenischia. which carries off the waters
OF the melting glaciers. The quantity
OF water is not large. but the descent
ls considerable, some 900 yards. About
forty miles away stands the great city
OF Turin; the reader can guess the rest
of the story. A hydro-electric install
latlon is to be set up at the foot of the
mountain, and the engineers, Messrs.
Thompson and Houston, reckon on de-
riving from the waterfall and transmit
ting TO Turin 10000 horsepower. For
untold thousands of years the torrent
has spiashed down the mountain side,
and henceforth, for a period that can
not be forecast. 1t will be furnishing
Turin with light, heat and energy.
Many a mountain stream and cascade
in Piedmont and Lombardy will in the
near future be turned into q source of
electrical power, which, to country
like Italy. that imports it's coal, is an
economical matter of great moment

ISSUES A CALL
FOR CONFERENCE
California Organization An
nOunceS Meeting of Boards
of Charity and Correction
WILL SIT FOR THREE DAYS
Eminent Speakers From East
Of the Rocky Mountains Are
Scheduled to Participate

The California State Conference Of
Charities and Corrections announces it's
third annual session, which will be held
in San. Francisco, beginning Sunday.
February q, and continuing three days
and evenings.
The programme. which is being ar
ranged by the Associated Charities OF
San Francisco and the State Board Of
Charities and Corrections, is not COM
plete in all its details, but the pres
ence is assured OF two eminent work
ers and speakers from east Of the
Rocky Mountains. These are Rev.
Samuel C. Smith of ST. Paul, MINI.
and Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of the
Juvenile Court OF Denver. Colo.
Rev. DR.. Smith Will be well and ia
vorably remembered by those that at
tended the State conference held here
in February. 1902. While it was a lib
eraI education in broad and organized
charity work to listen to him, ii was
also an inspiration. so full Of enthusi-
asm were his manner and his speech.
It is certain that his presence at that
time and his unceasing work at all the
sessions. besides his brilliant special
addresses, had much to do with cryS-
tallizing a public opinion which led a
year later TO the enacting by the State
Legislature Of the three laws creating
a State Board Of Charities and Cor
rections, a Juvenile Court and a sys-
TEN of probation for older prisoners.
Judge Lindsey presides over Juven-
lie Court which operates through law
in some respects entirely unique. He
regards his Juvenile Court as the
most important work Of his life and is
giving to il his time, talent and energy
in unstinted measure. The story he
Will tell in San Francisco Of his expe-
rience for two years and more-of his
methods, which have attracted the at
tention Of the English speaking world
and have brought to him requests from
all over America and England TO I'M
part the results Of his work-and the
scores Of fascinating Illustrations he
will use, will be of intense interest
here in San Francisco, where the
Juvenile Court, under Judge Murasky
is in the first year Of its existence and
operation.
The main subjects to which attention
will be given at this coming State con-
ference are the following:
l. Juvenile Court Work and Possibilities" 3"

What II Deserves From the Community" led

board.
The place of the conference VIII be
announced later. The State Board Of
Charities and Corrections will cooper
ate with the Associated Charities
throughout the conference and the
presence and cooperation Of all per-
sons interested in effective charity
work are earnestly asked by the AS
sociated Charities Of San Francisco.

DIES ALONE
IN HAY BARN
Former Manager of an Immense
California Ranch Passes
Away in Town of Santa Clara
EMPLOYE FINDS THE BODY
Sick Man Seeks Shelter in a
Dreary Building and Death
Terminates His Suffering

SANTA CLARA. Feb. THE dead
body of George Classen was found in
the hay barn of ]. c. Mcpherson, in the
business section of town, this morn
ing, by George Bullock, an employe.
Classen had entered the barn to sleep
during the night, having been sick for
several days from pneumonia He had
been employed as a foreman on the
Miller & Lux ranch, near Gilroy, and
was in that employ up to week ago.
He was formerly foreman on a ranch
near Oakdale, Stanislaus county, for
man named Howell. who is employed
by the A. P. Hotaling Company In San
Francisco. Correspondence showed
that he had been trusted In every par
ticular by those for whom he worked.
He had been insured in two companies
and had made payments up to the time
of his wife's death four years ago.
For twelve years he lived in san
Luis Obispo county, where he was In
charge Of the Shackelford ranch. When
Shackelford failed in business Classen
lost heavily in wages he had intrusted
to Shackelford and i'll fortune seemed
TO pursue him from that time. His wife
died; he lost his investments and be-
came penniless Bank books showed
him to have been possessed Of funds
at recent date. He had many friends
here and in other parts of the State
who would have willingly helped him,
but he chose to risk exposure in hay
barn rather than ask friends for shell
ter. He leaves two children who are
now in convent at Gilroy.
Coroner Kell held an inquest this
afternoon and a verdict of death from
acute pneumonia was rendered.

Deep Draught Ships and Coast
Vessels Take Advantage of
Smooth Bar and Cross Out

The schooner William Olsen, which
sailed from here February for Port
Townsend. put back to port yesterday
with her rudder head twisted. Captain
Roovik reports that when he sailed out
over the bar bound for Port Townsend
the weather was fine. but he had only
proceeded a short way on his course
when the wind freshened up, and by
the time he was off the Mendocino
coast, on February 5, he had run into
a heavy southwest gale, which beat
against the vessel with tremendous
fury, resulting in partly disabling her
and throwing her steering apparatus
out of operation. AS soon as the storm
abated the captain headed his ship for
this port, where she arrived without
further damage. She is in ballast.

the Serbo-Turkish war broke out, but
he was not too old to take part in it.
The Servian commander, General Uzum
Mirkovits. sent him on a special mis-
sion 10 ascertain the strength of the
Turkish forces and he succeeded in OBJ
tanning the needed information. AT the
conclusion of the war he retired from
the bandit business and settled down at
Nish to enjoy the rewards of his preda-
tory industry and untroubled by any
conscientious scruples concerning his
past life.
His appetite is still good. his teeth
sound and his eyesight clear. His mem
Ory is excellent, and he vividly recalls
six good chances that he missed to kill
that number of Turks If he had his
life to live over again he is sure, he
says, there would be no such failures
to reproach himself with in his old age.
He was twice married and has three
daughters living-the oldest so and the
youngest 40.
