SHOWS HOW COLORs
ARE PRINTED
Supplement of The Call To
day Gives Demonstration
of Lithographic Process

The resources of Ithography. which
is one process of printing and is used
more extensively for color work than
any other method, are very seriously
taxed at certain seasons of the year in
the manufacture of paper novelties,
this being the case especially in the
autumn. when all sorts of toys and
decorations are being made for the
holiday trade.
The process is somewhat coInpli-
Gated one and il will be best understood
by reference to the supplement- issued
with today's Call. the printing of
which was by the photographic method
The artists drawing having been ac-
cepted. "a Photographic negative is
made and then printed on a litho-
graphic stone, the surface of which is
ground by machinery to the snoothness
of glass. The different parts of the de-
sign are then colored in exact accord
ance with the drawing. and then by
means of special ink each color is
transferred to a sheet of aluminium
The design is then etched out with acid
very carefully, leaving the drawings in
slight relief. The aluminium plate is
then placed on press similar in MANY
respects to that used in printing this
paper
The. basis of photographic printing is
the established. fact that oil and water
will not mix. Consequently the design
in relief having been filled with a very
oily ink, the plate passes under felt
roller saturated with water, which
cleanses the plate. leaving only the ink
in the design to be pressed against the
paper as the machine moves. and this
produces the printed copy.
The sheet of paper has to go through
the press as many times as there are
colors in the design. and today's supple
ment. as will be observed, required nu-
merous Impressions After the sheets
are dried they are cut by massive ma
chinery, and are then ready for ship
ment. Our supplement is not die cut,
but is left purposeIy in its present
shape that the purchasers may enjoy
the pleasure of partnership in the
manufacture of the pretty novelties
which can be fashioned from the sup
plement, with the aid of a pair of scis-
sorS.

CHICAGO S JUSTICE
COURTS CHANGED

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-Chicago's old
Justice court system passed out of
existence today. The magistrates is
sued their last order and the. days Of
the rule of the constable were over.
In probably the most picturesque cere-
mony ever held In Chicago the chief
me- gistrate and justices of the new
municipality. received their commission
this afternoon in the old log cabin
courthouse of Cahokia County. the old
est courthouse in the Mississippi VAL
ley. Judge Grin ". Carter gave the
new magistrates their commissions
with this ceremony the long prom
ised reform courts OF Chicago be-
came a fact With the courts will
came the civil service baiIiff. who, re-
ceiving a salary from the city, will
serve only legal papers and in a legal
manner. The order of Chief Justice
Olsen and his associate Justices, which
was issued some days ago, brought
the men who are to take the places Of
the constables under a civil service
examination, which will make inipos
sible the dishonesty and incompetency
such as was common under the old
regime.

SECURES FREE USE
Of TWO PIERS

What rental has the Pacific Mail Com
1sny paid to the Harbor Commission
Tor the use of piers ~ and A. which it
has used since the time Of the fre7
This is the query which is passing
among shipping men. and as yet there
is no answer. In the absence of a re-
ply there Is q suspicion rife on the city
'front.' that there. is no rental. and that
it is merely being charged UP TO the &C
count of what we did for the city at
the time OF the disaster
The two piers were built under a
contract with the Pacific Mali. by the
terms Of which that company was TO
pas. s33sooo, this being the cost OF. the
piers. and to receive in return the use
az the whsrves for a term of hfteen
years paving in addition the regular
tolls for. docksge: The. lease, has. not
been drawn. and the piers have not as
yet. been declared completed nor for
:nsIly accepted by the Commissioners.
Consequently the time OF the lease has
not begun TO run
For one reason and another delays
were countenanced- First It was said
that the wrong variety OF shingles
were used on the roof, and several
weeks were occupied in discussing that
matter. In the. meantime the, Pacific
Mail liners continued TO dock at the
piers. apparently getting along quite
well despite the shingles, and paying
nothing but the dockage tolls for the.
privilege. Then there was some
trouble about the ~hitepsash. and that
caused more. delay, in which the com
pany continued TO enjoy the use of the
covered piers The two new piers are
still formally incomplete, and the Pa
cihc Mail Company is enjoying the priv
ilege Of using them.
Yesterday the Aztec was tied up on
one side Of pier - and the Mongolia
on the other side. while the Siberia and
several small. craft were locked at No.
a. At the same time the company
continued TO use the old Pacific Mall
dock and had the Barracuda and san
Juan locked there, while the Nippon
Msru had sailed from the same. dock
on the day before.
The little Mail dock. was recently
wrested from the use of the company
against the protest of Vice President
Schwerin. but il still enjoys so per cent
more dock room than il had before the

shippers are suffering loss from inabil-
iry 10 secure covered wharyes at

arrangement had been made for any

Pacific and some relief goods were

POST OFFICE PLAN
ST|Rs SAN JOSE

SAN JOSE Dec. Much feeling
has been aroused in san Jose BY the
fact that the specifications for the re-
construction of the postofnce. which
have just been received. provide Meth
er for clock tower nor for a weather
bureau station. It has been the under
standing that the clock tower. which
was one of the handsomest features OF
the building before the earthquake
was TO be rebuilt. and also that a struc-
ture suitable. for. the station OF the
weather bureau would be erected.
That neither of these things have been
provided for seems strange not only to
the people in general. but to Post
master Hawley.
The latter stated today that the ap-
preparation made for repairing the
building would be amply sufhcisnt for
both these things and he could not see
why they were not included in the
specifications unless there had been
some influence brought to bear on the
Washington authorities of which he
knew nothing -.
1t is the. intention OF the Chamber
of Commerce 10. take the matter I'D at
once TO secure "A change in the plans

IMPORTANT RATE RULING
ROADS MUST ONLY RECEIVE
MONEY FOR TRANSFORMATIONS
Commerce Commission Makes Decl-
sion Regarding Excessive Rates
Meat Regulations Promul-
GATED.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The inter
state commerce commission Tuesday
rendered a most important decision
in the matter of the applications from
various railroads giving administra:
tive construction to certain provi.
sions in the new railroad rate laws.
Briefly. they hold that with regard
to payments for transportation, moth
ing but money can be legally received
With regard to notices Of changes
in rates, the joint rate between two
or more connecting carriers is held
to be the legal rate. and any change
requires 80 days. notice With re.
gard to round trip excursion rates, the
commission makes three rulings, the
most important being that these may
be changed at one days notice.
Secretary Wilson Tuesday promul.
gated the regulations, under the new
meat law, governing the transporta-
ition of meat in interstate and foreign
commerce. There are eight amend-
ments to the regulations already in
force. and these have to do with In
terstate transportation; inspected
meats and products; exempted meats
and products; meats offered for trans;
portation by farmers; and the restric.
tons upon common carriers in GER
tain cases.

GEN. GRANT REPORTS.
Officer Recommends Legislation for
Betterment of the Army.

Washington, Sept 19.-Maj. Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, commanding the
department of the east, strongly rec
ommends in his annual report some
Legislation which will prevent the ex-
odus of enlisted men from the coast
artillery. The shortage is now about
20 per cent. He says that the life for
enlisted men is not very attractive in
many OF the smaller posts and they
prefer service elsewhere. The report
contains number of recommends
lions relative to increasing the eff
cheney of the coast artillery as the de-
fensive arm of the nation. Gen. Grant
states that in his last report he said
that fully rs per cent Of the trials by
5courtmartial were due to the use of
bad liquor, and this year he estimates
that so per cent. of the troubles that
occurred in the army are due to the
use of such liquor. He believes that
with the establishments of the can
teen the influence Of demoralizing re-
sorts would be greatly reduced.
