The silo Not a Distillery.

A correspondent of the Experiment
Station writes:
~ would like to ask you for some in
formation regarding the manufacture of
alcohol. Since the late law has been
passed the thought occurred to me that
it might be extracted from silos in some
way, and as there are large number of
them in this locality it might be good
opportunity here to begin the work."
This correspondents impression that
alcohol is formed in the silo appears to
be shared by many, both in this and
other States. The following statement
has been prepared to aid in correcting
this erroneous impression and TO warn
farmers against the expenditure Of time
and money upon hopeless project.
Common alcohol is commercially pro-
duced only by yeast fermentation of
liquids containing sugar, such IS fruit
juices, molasSes, the liquids of mashtubs
or solutions of glucose No other meth
cd of production has been found COM
mercially practicable.
a uo Blu 10 JIG bcnt VI o4OcubiVty COul-
pick lamentations, it is true but these
are quite different from the common al
coholic fermentation
Yeasts are not active in the silo.
They are either absent or present only
in very small numbers The high tenn
peratures often attained in the silo kill
the yeasts or suppress their action and
thus prevent them from forming alco-
hol. Ensilage fermentation was former
ly supposed to be due to the action of
bacteria; but recent studies demonstrate
that it is really the result Of the abnor-
NAL action of the dying protoplasm of
the stored plants, and Of the action of
soluble ferments secreted by the proto-
plasm. The products of these actions
are chiefly carbonic and Tactic acids, to
the latter Of which ensilage owes its acid
favor.
Silage contains only traces Of alcohol,
as has been shown by Richardson,
Manns and Irish. The gases evolved
from the silo have also been carefully
studied by Manns and Whitson. They
consist chiefly of carbonic acid and nj
trogen, together with small amounts of
acetic and other acids. No alcohol has
been observed.
We must conclude, therefore, that,
despite the fact that ensilage is fermen-
tation process aud that it results in a
loss Of dry matter, chiefly starch and
sugars, amounting to from 8 to 40 per
cent Of the dry matter originally stored
in the silo, the process is useless as a
commercial source of alcohol. William

WIFE APPEALS TO LAW
Says Husband Struck Her Repeatedly
Despite Their Baby-Warrant
for Battery

Charles Owen, a salesman for the
Southwestern Securities company, hav-
ing offices in the Hellman building, was
arrested yesterday afternoon on COM
plant of his wife for alleged battery.
In telling her story to City Prosecutor
Beebe, the wife showed several bruises
and marks of blows upon her head and
chest.
She said that she had lived very un-
happily ever since her marriage, and
finally her husband became so abusive
that she had him arrested in self-pro-
lection.
The family recently came to the city
from San Francisco and live at I'll
West Eighth street.
According to, Mrs. Owen, who is said
to be we'll connected in San Francisco,
she has had to endure much abuse.
She stood it for long time on account
of her baby, but yesterday morning she
said that her husband renewed a quar-
rel started the day before and struck
her several times on the head and
chest.
Bonds were fixed in the sum of 500
for Owens release.
The case will come up in the police
court tomorrow morning.

Voting Precincts VIII Be Reduced In
Order to Minimize Expense ot
Special Election in April fol
$1,15o,ooo Bonds

Empolyes in the city clerks depart
ment worked overtime yesterday in
preparing a map of the precincts for
the bond election which is to be held
early in April.
While there are 139 precincts ,ac-
cording to the recent redistricting of
the city, but thirty-two will appear in
the map to be submitted to the council
Monday. The city clerk is anxious to
reduce the number of precincts as low
as possible in order that the expense
of the election may be kept at a mini
mum.
No date has yet been fixed for the
election, but it is expected the city at
torney will on Monday recommend
April u. On that date, If the council
agrees, the people of Los Angeles Will
vote for or against $1,150,000 worth of
badly needed improvements.
On one item of the bond issue at least
the recent rains are expected to act as
a convincing argument. This is for
the storm drains, for which $2S7, 500 has
been provided. Other items are for
lateral sewers, new police stations and
fire engine houses, small parks and
play grounds and bridges.
AS every portion of the city is in
need of the proposed improvements
the council expects that every item for
which the bonds are proposed will be
carried by big majorities.

Einished

Within sixty days the contract for
the construction of the pipe line across
the isthmus of Panama by Lacy & Co.
of Los Angeles will be completed. The
Union Oil company recently awarded
the contract to Lacy & Co., and since
that time the work has been progress

Work was begun at both ends of the
line at once in order to facilitate the
construction. The value of the con-
tract was stated to be not, less than
$4,000, one of the largest pipe con-
tracts ever awarded to Los Angeles
firm.
The pipe line across the isthmus will
supply a market for the surplus oil of
Southern California and will thus be
of direct benefit to the producers Of
this section. A series of tanks are
also in process of construction. The
total capacity of the tanks will be not
less than 100000 barrels. The first

GOULD MUST PAY THE SHERIFF.
Hayes Gets S4,7sy Under the Appellate
Divisions Ruling.

By a decision rendered yesterday in the
Appellate Division Sheriff Hayes Ia en-
titled to collect a, Its in p~oundage fees from
George j. Gould. This decision reverses
the order Of Supreme Court Justice Fitz-
gerald, In which 1t was held that the Sheriff
was only entitled to about $3.50.
Mr.. Gould is one of three defendants In a
suit brought by John s. Jones, an Ohio
railroad man, to recover 34e8 900 on an
alleged contract by which Jones agreed
to purchase for Gould, Joseph Ramsey.
Jr., and william f Guy, who constituted the
little Kanawha Syndicate, a large tract OF
coal land in Ohio. Jones alleges that no
fulfilled his contract, but was unable to
collect either his commissions on the pur-
chase or his expenses.
He got an attachment against George j,
Gould, and cash and securities valued at
several hundred thousand dollars on de.
post with the Mercantile Trust Company
were seized by the Sheriff. Gould released
the levy by giving an undertaking in $500 600
10 secure Jones. Gould then demurred to
paying the ti,7b in p%oundage fees. and
Maurice b.. Blumenthal, counsel for the
Sheriff, appealed from Justice Fitzgerald's
order, which sustained Gould.
Justice Mclaughlin, for the court. says
that where a levy Is made the Sheriff q
right to poundase fees is absolute and the
amount is fixed by statute. Hence Gould
Is not entitled to the return of his property
until he pays the statutory fees in full.

CAR KILLS GIRL AND BOY.
italian Crowd Tries 10 Kill Motorman n
Conductor on Avenue A.

The motorman and conductor Of a Four
teenth street car bound through Avenue A
to the Williamsburg Bridge had a narrow
escape from serious injury at the hands Of
a mob Of infatuated Italians last night after
the car ran down and killed a little girl and
boy. The children were Tessina and Joseph
Calentano, aged 8 and 4 years, who lived
ut Twelfth street and Avenue A. where
their father has a saloon.
The children were making their way
across the street when the car came along.
They became confused, one tried to drag
the other one way, the other attempted to
go in the opposite direction. The two
were directly in front Of the car, and the
motorman didn't see the danger until too
late. Both were wedged in under the
forward truck and terribly crushed. They
were lead when taken out.
A mob, headed by the father and mother
Of the children, soon assaulted the car from
all sides, pelting stones and other missiles
at it and making vain attempts TO reach
the motormah and conductor. Both, after
q hard tussle, had to lock themselves inside
the car. Several policemen rescued them.
One excited Italian had a large revolver
levelled OF the motorman's head and was
about to fire when the weapon was knocked
from bis hand by Policeman Kelleher Of
the Fifth street station house.
1t was with great difficulty that the motor
man was dragged through the crowd and
taken to the Fifth street station, where he
was locked up.

Opposition 10 a Wide Open Convention.
~PITrsBURo, June 15.-For the first time
In his political life Col. James NJ. Guffey
has thrown up his hands.
He was forced to ask for quarter to-day
and accepted a compromise which strips
him Of all his power in the coming State
convention Of the Democratic party.
Against his will he was forced to agree
that all delegates should go uninstructed
as to a gubernatorial candidate and party
policy. This leaves the convention free
to indorse Lewis j. Emery, the Lincoln
party candidate for Governor. and to put
some ringing planks in the platform against
the Standard Oil and Pennsylvania Rail-
road companies.
A terrific fight will be made on Guffey
in the convention. Delegates from all the
county districts have been instructed to
vote for Emery. Guffey insisted that his
name should not go before the convent ion.
He has been denounced by county organi-
cations all over the State. and an effort will
be made to overthrow the machine he has
built up and free the party from the cor
poration influences he is charged with
having brought into 1t.
Col. Guffey got back from New York this
morning. While there he was advised by
State leaders to withdraw opposition to
Emery. His surrender to-day is the answer.
