Unable to Get a Jury.

OAKLAND. Aug. 2o.-Although the
attorneys in the case Of Otto L. Hasse,
charged with having presented fraud
ulent bills TO the county for stationery,
have tried for two days to secure a
jury for his second trial not one juror
had been secured when Judge Melvin
adjourned court this afternoon. Dep
uty District Attorney Hynes is con-
Quoting the prosecution and l. S. Church
IS representing Hssse, and neither
could find a juror who was acceptable.
Hynes' objection to most Of those ex-
amined was that they admitted that
their natures were sympathetic and he
had in mind the fact that Hasse's wife
wept in the courtroom at the last trial.

journed his court today eight jurors
had been chosen in the case of the
United States against State Senator

cused for admitted bias. two were ex-

PROFESSOR BToLETTI ISSUES
BULLETINS FOR WINE MEN
Perfection of Must for White yintages
and Use of Pure Yeast
Treated.


BERKELEY, Aug. 2o.--Two bulletins
OF special interest to viticulturists
were issued by Professor F. T. Bioletti
today, one dealing with the subject of
Dedication of Must for White Wine
and the other on Pure Yeast in Win
cries" Professor Biolettf says in the
bulletin dealing with must in wines:
Some means of preventing all fer
mentation for twentyfour or forty
eight hours Is necessary If the impuri-
ties are to be separated before fermen-
tation. Such a means we have in the
use Of sulphurous acid. If sulphur is
burned it is changed into a gas, which
is pure sulphurous acid. The proper
quantity of sulphur is burned In the
cask Immediately before introducing
the must"
In his summary Professor Bioletti
says that the defecation of must with
sulphur fumes for the production of
white wine is desirable for these
reasons:
/. 1t eliminates the worst of the. i'm
purities before they have contaminated
the wine.
2. 1t diminishes the amount of sedi-
ment In the casks at the frst racking.
3. 1t causes the wine to clear much
4. It eliminates much of the albu-
minoid substances which are the pre-
ferred food of Injurious bacteria.
8. 1t clears the wine of most of the
molds, wild yeast and bacteria.
6. 1t enables us to use pure yeast
with the greatest effect.
In his pure yeast bulletins Professor
Bioletti advocates the using of pure
yeast in winemaking, which he de-
clares will assist in thorough fermen-
tation. a rapid clearing and an alb
sence of the disagreeable fiavors of
secondary fermentation. The bulletin
gives a description of the proper
method OF using the yeast.

ANOTHER fII.R \CE,.

The Raleigh Times, which had n
copy Of the Southern Railways an
sWer in time to set up and print some
on the same day on which it was filed,
r~eproduces an editorial from the Win
s1ou Journal abusing this paper for
not having likewise printed the an
swer in full; and in the same issue re-
produces q clipping from the Wilson
Times under the heading, The
~Southern's Answer"
The beauty of this is that the
statement of what the answer contain
ed reproduced from the Wilson Times
was itself a copy of a part Of The
News and Observers digest Of such
answer, although not 50 credited, and
hich the Times evidently thought
stated the Railroads contentious
With clearness sufficient to justify its
quotation. The Times thus prints III
the same column in which this
is attacked for not giving the full text
OF the answer, the clear statement
thereof given in these columns, not
W~ithstandinG it had previously itself
published the ape in full.

digest, c~Onccaling nothing and
giving every salient point, both Of the
Southern's remarkable bill of <~njunc-
ton obtained from Judge Purnell and
of its answer to the complaint of
citizens against the proposed change

Has the Raleigh Times, which gave
over ten columns Of space to print the

with the Corporation Commission by
citizens, the production Of which

4 SPECIES OF SIMONY.

The proposition made to the Cor
poration Commission by Mr.. f. II.
Rusbee to the effect that if it would
say or even intimate that it would
not proceed to sue for the penalties
provided for disobedience to it's orders,
he would guarantee that the Commits
sion would be put TO no furthel'
trouble in the matter of the Purnell
restraining order, was not lacking III
humor, gravely as it was rendered.
In the first place Mr.. Busbee is no
doubt as we'll aware of Judge Purnelfs
powers in this respect as he is of the
ease with which such orders can be
obtained from that source on behalr
OF the Southern Railway. In the
second place the very fact that the
S%outhern's attorneys applied for the
Illegal restraining order was the best
evidence that they felt the guilt or
their clients refusal to obey the or
der of the Commission.
Throw forward. doubtless, as a
the proposed bargain is to suggest
a. species of Simony at the price of
the dismissal of the restraining order
Which ought never to have been Is
sued.
