STETTIN GEMS
ARE RETURNED
Struggled Diamonds Are Re-
leased Through Leniency
of Treasury Department
DUTY rs REMITTED
Owners Set Forth That Jew
els Were Brought Here
Without Any Authority

Seven hundred and nine unset dia-
appraised at $7844,. on which
the duty would be $7S4 and which were
seized by Customs Collector Stratton
as being smuggled, have been ordered
returned without payment of duty to
their owners, Stettin & CO. of Paris,
France The diamonds were brought
to this city by F. Hospital, a. Spaniard,
travelling agent for the Partisan jew
elers. There was q dispute between
him and Stettin & Co. as to his COM
missions for selling diamonds in Ha-
vana and the City Of Mexico. The dis
pute not being settled to the satisfac-
ton of Hospital, he smuggled the dia-
monds into this country by the port
of New Orleans and came to visit rela-
tives in Oakland named Romo On
March Mr.. Romo reported to Col
lector Stratton that Hospital was In
possession of smuggled diamonds, and
the Collector, in accordance with the
statutes, seized the gems for confisca-
ton. Stettin & Co., through an agent
here, represented to the Collector that
Hospital had embezzled the diamonds
from the company; that he had been
authorized to offer them for sale only
in Cuba, Canada and Mexico, and not
in the United States, and that his ac-
tion in bringing the diamonds into this
country was unauthorized by Stettin
& Co. They argued 1T would be un-
just to punish them for the unauthoriz-
ed act of their agent. The Treasury
Department was of the same opinion.
and The diamonds will be permitted to
be exported to Paris without the pay
ment of the duty.

EITRADITION
Fund Is Low
Governor Says He Will Is
sue No More Papers Ex-
cept in Murder Cases
DISTURBS LOCAL POLICE
Officers Say Criminals Will
Be Bolder, Feeling Safe
Refuge Is Near ate Hand

Chief of Police Dinan and Captain OF
Detectives Burnett are considerably
exercised over the action of Governor
Pardee in refusing to sign requisftion
papers for criminals outside the State
unless in extreme cases of murder.
They say it will give robbers. burglars
and embezzlers a free hand. All they
have to do Is to get outside the State
and they will be free from arrest.
Detective Coleman returned from
Sacramento yesterday. He had gone
with the papers for the extradition of
William S. Loring, who Is under arrest
in Chicago. He is wanted here for en-
bezzling $500 on March IL belonging to
his employer. Sidney A. Clark, manu-
facturer of fixtures, 60 First street.
Coleman says that when he applied
to the Governor for his signature the
latter refused to sign the papers on the
ground that the funds for the extradi-
tion of criminals were exhausted. The
Governor was informed that the COM
planning witness was willing to put up
the coin If he were reimbursed and
would wait for a year. The Governor
was inexorable and said that he would
not sign any papers except in extreme
murder cases.
Captain Burnett had a consultation
with Clark and he agreed to bear the
cost of bringing Loring back rather
than allow him to escape. Under these
circumstances Coleman will make an
other trip to Sacramento to ask the
Governor to sign the papers.
While Chief Dinan and Captain Bur-
nett were expressing their amazement
at the action of the Governor a dis
patch was received from Detective
Whitaker at Sacramento that the Gov
ernor had signed the papers for the ex-
tradition of ]. H. Nicholson and that
he would leave for Portland to bring
Nicholson back. Nicholson Is wanted on
| charge Of passing a fictitious check
on the proprietor of the Chico cafe, on
Market street. The receipt of this dis
patch puzzled the Chief and Burnett in
view of Coleman's statement, and they
| think there Is a mistake somewhere.
| A dispatch to The Call from Sacra-
mento confirms the story of the Gov
ernor's determination in the matter.
and says he has sent a circular letter
to the District Attorneys of the State
asking them to exercise great care in
/, making applications for extradition
papers.

MERRILL MUST
SUPPLY BONDS
Star Witness Against Frank
A. Maestretti Ordered Into
Custody of the Sheriff
is TAKEN INTO COURT
Foreman Andrews of Grand
Jury Files an Affidavit
and Gives Oral Testimony

Charles E. Merrill, the chief wit
neFs against Frank A. Maestretti,
president of the Board of Public
Works. who was indicted by the
Grand Jury for fraudulently attempt
ing to induce a person to give false
testimony, will have to give $4,000
bonds to appear in court and testify
at Maestretti's trial or remain in the
custody Of the Sheriff.
Following up Merrill's arrest by
Grand Jury detectives at MfIpitas on
Wednesday he was taken before
Judge Lawlor yesterday afternoon.
Foreman T. P. Andrews of the Grand
Jury filed an affidavit in the case os
Maestretd to the effect that Merrill
was a material witness on behalf Of
the people at the trial; that affiant
had reason to believe and did believe
that Merrill would not appear and
TESTIFY at the trial unless security was
required for his attendance: that Mer-
rill had informed affiant that he was
going to Marin County, when in fact
he departed for Santa Clara County,
and that Merrill had informed aff1iant
that he would leave his furniture in
nls house, whereas, in fact, he had
sold a portion of his furniture.
The Judge said he was not quite
satisfied that the affidavit was suf-
hcient and he would like to hear some
oral testimony. Foreman Andrews
was then sworn and repeated Merrill's
conversation with him on Monday aud
subsequent developments, as already
published.
The Judge thereupon, under section
S79 Of the Penal Code. ordered that
Merrill give an undertaking in $500 y
bonds, to be approved by the presid-
ing Judge of the Superior Court, TO
appear and testify in court on the
trial of Maestretti and meantime that
Merrill be detained in the custody of
the Sheriff
A deputy sheriff took charge of
Merrill and went with him to the
County Jail. where he will be detained
pending his release on bonds.
Maestretti's case will be called on
Saturday morning for argument on
the motion to set aside the Indictment
on the ground of bias and prejudice
on the part of the grand jurors.

WANTS ALLEGED sWINDLERS
BROUGHT HERE FROM OHIO
Oscar Lpman SweaFs to Warrants for
Arrest of Two Officers of Get
Rich Ouick Concern,

Oscar Lipman, a manufacturing
jeweler of 1926 Kearny street, procured
warrants yesterday for the arrest of
two men who, he swears. inveigled
him into a get-rich-quick concern,
causing him to lose s4400. The men
accused are Joseph Epstein and Carl
May, formerly president and treasurer
of the Pacific States Mercantile Com
pany. These men have recently started
the same business in Cincinnati Ohio,
and Lipman wants them brought here.
Lipman says they came to him well
recommended from his friends in Los
Angeles and induced him to accept the
secretaryship of the corporation,
whose plan was to collect weekly
premiums on policies and pay the
holders two for one in United States
coin. LiDman was induced to invest
in policies, some of them maturing
and others still owing. Many Chinese
and women and children were caught
by the attractive proposition and are
still waiting for the return Of their
money.

''Of all the reporters doing politics in that
paign, Edward Riggs is the only one who did not
take up political career. Nine men whom l can
name all worthy members of the metropolitan press,

have been successful as have many other public

CAS- to the line of education which best fits young
man for success in journalism, the answer IS a
platitude: The best to be had The day in
which men achieved greatness in the editorial
by starting at the printers case has passed. The
few wel-known exceptions belong to previous
generation. No reporter is fairly equipped for the
struggle of nowadays without college course. 1t
gives ease assurance and familiarity with
events and the intellectual position of the day
without which the competitor will find himself
greatly handicapped. knowledge is power and its
power nowhere is so marked in the years in which
journalist IS starting The final outcome depends
upon the hmself-his tenacity and other
manly quaties-but the value of good education
at the start is great.
Whether the young mans ambitions be purely
journalistic political, he soon will find that
general knowledge of law in the former case, and
practical knowledge in the latter, is essential.
The best way to achieve this is a course at law
school, and l knew several reporters who since have
become prominent in public affairs who secured
night work at the copy desk or at police head
quarters in order that they might study law in
the daytime. If the young journalist cannot get
this time, he should read Blackstone, emitting the
English constitutional sections, any accepted
treatise criminal law, and the latest work
on international law, always keeping Wharton
at his elbow for reference. Any lawyer of
perience can furnish list of six or eight books
that the reporter ought to be able to find time
to read during the leisure of his first years
training.
"And for the higher positions in journalism in
politics the reporter must gain general knowledge
of history, especially the political history of
country. The formative period of our Republic
should have close attention. Of the history of the
world, he would better study the philosophy of
great events than attempt mere cataloguing of
dates The and effects of incidents
in history that have overthrow dynasties, wrecked
old nations and set up new ones are what are de-
manded for comparison, precedent or metaphor

paper" said George B. Mcclellan, Mayor of Greater
New-York. Such an experience rapidly develops in
any young man the best qualities that in him.
Presupposing him to have enjoyed the advantages of
fair education he learns to apply all the knowledge
he possesses and to ardently hunger for more. In
stead of porting ledgers in business office, he
is studying in the great school of human life. He
constantly broadens his intellectual view and gains
a comprehensive grasp of public affairs. The
riety of his work sharpens his intelligence; his
thusiasm grows with his development; and he per-
force becomes critic of men. This is the primary
essential in public mans career, and no other pre-
limnary training affords it, and the other advan-
tages mentioned, to any degree comparable with
practical journalism.
The newspaper has become much part of
our daily existence that young associated
Herewith of necessity starts abreast of his age
No one has more varied sources of information
than he He acquires the habit of reading half
dozen newspapers, instead of one; he learns at an
early date to lean upon the daily journal for its
history of the worlds events, but to form his
opinions of the consequences of those occurrences
That assuredly improves and develops him. AL
most without being conscious of his mental growth,
he becomes enthusiastic student of the philosophy
of history-the course of current events and their
effects upon the progress or retrogression of his
city, his State his country. The ambitious
porter, who expects to make himself capable of
directing large daily newspaper, learns to
along those lines. The act of doing his thinking
becomes second nature. Self-reliance becomes a
fixed habit; social and economic problems
grasped in large way and almost unconsciously
he becomes leader of thought.
"My own experience in metropolitan journalism
extended over several years. and l say truth
fully that every days journalistic labor has been of
subsequent value to My work inside and out

to rub me hard against the of my fellow-nen
