WANTS PLANT ENLARGED
Chairman Jacobson Opposes the Block
Binding Irvine Bill. u

J. F. Jacobson of the board of control
thinks that the Irvine plant at the Still
water prison should supply all the bind
ing Irvine used in the state and for that
reason he opposes bill requiring the
Irvine to be sold at cost, which was con-
sidered by the house committee on bind
ing Irvine yesterday. The plant is not
nearly as large as it should be, says
Mr.. Jacobson, and should be allowed
reasonable profit so that it can be en-
larged. AS it is now only the weather.
Of the farmers can take advantage Of
the terms Of the prison management;
The twine is bought by clubs and the
little fellow sarte often not admitted,
because their notes are not always bank
able. With larger output 50 that the
dealers could get, full supply which
they are required to dispose Of at net
profit of one cent pound, the small
farmers will receive direct benefit.
Prison Irvine is sold for from 2 to 4
cents lower than the other, and as soon
as the supply is exhausted the price on
other Irvine was advanced The, prison
plant cleared $4,000 last year, and
saved the farmers $4,000 at the low
est computation, besides keeping the
price down on competing brands. War
den Wolfer attended the hearing. An
other hearing will be held on Feb. 81,
at 2 O 'clock.

Washington, Feb. ID. There was an
other chapter of the Sullivan
Hearst episode in the house today,
when Mr.. Sullivan declared Mr.. Hearst
had ignored his offer yesterday to make
g statement concerning his connection
with the homicide to; which Mr.. Hearst
alluded. ..g.a. 5...s..s j,
J, MI; sullivan admitted that on Nov.
"a, 1885, his father, Eugene J. Sullivan,
and himself were convicted Of man
slaughter in The superior court Of Mid
dlesex county, Massac husets.
Mr.. Sullivan explained that while his
father was conducting q licensed hotel
in Boston, he was attacked by a drunk
en- man. He (Sul1ivan), then IL years
old, went to the rescue of his father.
The man was. knocked down and
struck his head against the curbstone,
became unconscious and never 2recov-
years imprisonment. Sullivan was
held to be only technically guilty and
was neither imprisoned nor fined. His
father was pardoned after serving a
year and a half. Ak .zas., -. III ,.
Mr.. Sullivan declared that the most
that could ever be alleged against him
was that he was technically guilty, the
district attorney having admitted that
he was not even morally guilty. Mr..
Sullivan added: :, x ~ ~. Il. ...
T am constrained TO say that II my
father were now alive and he were to be
attacked in my presence L would come
again to his defense. & AT the facts were
fully published in all the Boston newspa-
pers at the time and were before my con-
stituents when I was elected to the Mas
sachusetts senate in 1900 and 1901 and to
the congress Of the United States in 1902
and 1904, and 1t was not until twenty
years after the alleged offense that any
Individual was found Who felt that it was
necessary or proper to aHude to the cir
cumstances Of the case:
! Mr.. Sullivan received loud applause
from both sides Of the chamber when he
declared that he walked out Of court a
a day nor fined a cent. The applause
broke out afresh when he declared that
under similar circumstances, if his
father: was alive he would go to his de.
Tense. He took his seat amid renewed
applause, several members going to his
seat and shaking his hand. -.

January Jones in Washington

Mr.. January Jones, Of Goldfeld,
Nevada, is at the New Willard, ac-
companied by his winsome young
wife, who is probably the prettiest
woman ever seen in a western min
ing camp, and whose modish gowns
would be6t one Of the ''four hun
dred,' says the Washington Post.
Mr.. Jones vas not christened
January" but he got the sobriquet
on account of his Identification with
a famous mine of that name. He was
one of the earliest prospectors in the
Goldield region, and ever since he
landed there from his California home
has met with nothing but good for
tune.
1T doesn't matter to me in the
least" said Nr. Jones, whether PEG
Pile think | am regaling them with
fiction when ] tell them of the mar
velous riches of the Nevada mining
camps. The truth is good enough
and the half has not been told. The
owners OF the great Combination
property had to be begged by my
self and associates into putting up
$4,000 to make the first payment, and
the entire cost of the mine, SIS, 900,
was gotten out in a few weeks after
the sinking Of the shaft to the depth
Of eighty feet. The Combination is
now returning a net monthly profit
Of $32, 900, and it has more officers
on its pay roll than there are men
engaged IN working it.
Nevada will in the not distant
future pass Colorado in the list o
gold-producing states. The only
handicap we have at present is the
lack of smelter facilities and the
dearth of fuxing ore. The region ID
which the precious metal abouuds is
so extensive that it is safe to predict
the discovery of new camps quite a;
productive as Tonopab, Goldfeld anC
Bullfrog. The finding Of ore running
5000 to the ton ami over is OF suct
ordinary occurrence as to create nc
excitement.
II like the country for its magni
ticent opportunities, and l want tt
tell you that we have as much socia
enjoyment and genuine pleasure o
existence in our camp as do the PEG
