Explaining 1t.

A teacher in a small school was CIV
ing a lesson on the circulation of the
blood. Trying to make 1t clearer, lie
said:
"Now, children, If stood on my
head, the blood, as you know, would
run into 1t, and l should turn red in
the face"
"Now, Jimmy" continued the teach.
err, addressing a small boy, what
want to know is this: How is 1t that
while I am standing upright In the or
binary position the blood doesn't run
into my feet and turn them red?
"Why, SIR" answered Jimmy, "be
cause yer feet amt empty"

against Dan was due to summary dis
missal from Dams farmhouse, when his
visits to see Miriam, Dams handsome
young daughter, a slip of girl of 10,
were resented by her father with fiery
indignation.
Dalton Fenwick fell into the pleas

shaded porch, while her elderly COM
panion, Mrs Carter, looked after cul-
mary matters, ever dear to her heart;

There must have been some very spe-
cial cause which absorbed and occupied
Dan Kirkwood those days. His horse
would be saddled and brought to the
door. and after hasty breakfast he
would ride Off, over the same trail
through the woods, coming back late In
the afternoon, jaded, but with strange
iubilation In his stern face, although he
said nothing as to the cause of 1t, or
the reason for his continued absences.

CHANCE FOR LIMITING
ARMAMENT HAS PASSED

THE HAGUE, June 1.-THE last
chance for any government coming g
forward to openly propose the question
of limitation of armaments disappeared
with the knowledge that the govern
ment of the United States considered
that the initiative belonged to Europe
and not to America.
NJ Nelidoff's depressing utterances
at the opening of the conference, cou-
pied with the unfortunate dissolution
of the duma at the very moment the
conference had assembled, has pro-
duced many expressions of regret that
President Roosevelt yielded the initi-
ative of the second conference to En-
peror Nicholas.
A correspondent has heard dozens of
delegates speak of the influence which
would have been produced had the key
note been sounded by a country in
spired by democratic tendencies. As
matters now stand neither England
nor any of her continental friends are
ready to move, lest the mere sugges-
tion of debating the question of the
limitation of ornaments inject a spirit
of discord which would endanger the
useful work achievable.
M. Nilogoff, as president of the peace
conference, received a committee rep
resenting the international conference
of women, composed of Mrs. fOgilvie
Gordon of Scotland, Frau Stitt of Berlin
and Nine. Chaponniere of Switzerland,
who presented an address written by
Lady Aberdeen expressing the SYM
pathy of 100000 women of 90 coun-
tries in the movement to relieve the
world of the burdens and horrors of
war.
The delegates to the council held q
meeting tonight at Scheviningen at
which addresses were made by Mrs.
Henry Willard of Boston and Baroness
Sumner. The proposition to compro-
mise the differences between Great
Britain and America and the conti-
mental powers on the subject of i'm
munity of private property on the sea
is being canvassed.

BOYS CONFESS THAT
THEY SACKED CHURCH
Rifle Collection Baskets and
Then Smash Keys

ADMIT OTHER THEFTS
Trio of Young Vandals Are
Arrested While Trying
to Force Doors
ADMIT OTHER THEFTS

OAKLAND, June 17.-Confessing that
they broke into the Fruitvaie Congre-
tional church, stole from the collection
baskets, damaged a piano byswrencn-
ing off the ivory keys and breaking the
hammers, and also admitting two other
burglaries, two very small boys,
Charles Fries, 10 years old, living at
1852 Third street, and Peter Joseph, IL
years old. of 1897 Fifth street, are be-
ing detained in. the Juvenile depart
ment of the receiving hospital awaiting 6
the action of the superior co lrt- With
them is George Silva, 15 years old, of
1866 Fifth street who admits taking
part in one of the burgiaries but de-
nies having entered the church. in
this he is corroborated by Fries and
Joseph.
Young Fries and Joseph said they en-
tered the church about ten days ago
through a back window. They took
the money from the baskets, but can
give no reason for damaging the pi-
ano. The pair confessed to having
later gone into Goelichs meat shop in
High street, where they secured moth
ing except a few pencils. They were
accompanied by Silva when they en-
tered the Office of Frederickson's coal
yard in Fruitvale. Here they broke
open the till but found no money.
Inc poys were arrested sunday art
ernoon by Constable William Allen,
who saw them trying locked store
doors and inspecting windows at the
rear and sides. Allen watched them
until he was convinced they were bent
on mischief, when he took them into
custody and locked them up in the
Fruitvale jail over night. Today he
brought them to the county jail, where
they confessed.
The piano which they are said to
have ruined was the gift of Mrs. Henry
Wetherbee of Fruitvale to the church.
The boys will appear in the criminal
department of the superior court with
in a few days and will probably be as
signed to the care of the probation
officer.

ASSESSOR DALT TON SUED
BY BONDING COMPANY

OAKLAND, June 17-County AS
SCISSOR Henry P. Dalton was made de-
fendant in a suit filed today by the
United States fidelity and guaranty
company for s44S.50, with interest, al
legged to be due as premiums on vari-
Gus bonds executed by the company at
Dalton's request Four separate causes
Of action were specified in the COM
plant The first was for the filing
of bond of $4,000. in July, 1904, as
security to the county for the proper
conduct of the assessors Office. For
this yearly premium of SIS was said
to have been agreed upon. The COM
pany alleged this had not been paid
in three years and the total in ar
rears on this score was given as 1925.
The second case was for arrearages
on a bond of sS,955.30, filed when Dali
ton appealed for a stay of execution
from the decision of the superior court
OF this county, ordering him to refund
to the county $4,477.65, which he had
appropriated as commissions in the
collection of personal taxes. For al
legged unpaid premiums on this bond
the company asked for $50.
The third and fourth causes of ac-
tions were for bonds filed in December,
1904, when Dalton appealed from the
decision Of the superior court. The
company asked for $3.50 on one Of
these and $50 on the other
Dalton said today that he had never
been notified that premiums were due
and the fling of the suit he regarded
as entirely unnecessary. He said that
he would pay the claims which he con-
sidered just. He expects to settle uo
within a few days.

GOAL DEALER HAS NO
MERCY FOR PRISONERS
County Doesn't Pay Him
and the Jail Goes With

ROHAN WANTS CASH
Depletion of General Fund
Leave His Claims
Unpaid

OAKLAND, June 17.-Because the
visors can raise no money to supply
the deficiency, ]. Rohan. a fuel dealer
at Fifth and Washington streets, has
refused to nlT an order for ton of
coal for the county Jail
why should / give those fellows
over there any more coal?" said Roha1
today. They haven't any money and
they owe me $500 for coal supplied
this year. This is business with ME
and if the county can't pay it can't
have coal. The supervisors have no
money to pay for coal for the jail,
though they say there is more than A
million dollars of other county funds
in the banks.
Nobody knows when L can get my
money. There must be something radi-
cally wrong when the county govern
ment can't pay bills of that kind,
though 1t seems to have plenty of
money for everything else"
Bills aggregatlng $4,000, payable out
Of the general fund, have been held up
recently, among them being the bill
of the Pacific construction company
for the wrecking of the old Jail and
the building of the temporary quar-
ters. 1t was announced recently from
the supervisors office that these bills
could not be paid until the delinquent
taxes of the year were collected. These
amount to about $4,000, but the collec-
tion of them is frequently a battle Of
several years time.

WARRANT FOR ARREST
OF EMPLOYMENT AGENT

The labor commissioner is determined d
to put a stop, IL possible, to the num-
erous complaints from men seeking
work who. allege that they have been
tricked out of their money by employ
ment agents. Deputy Labor Commis-
sioner F. c. Jones appeared before Po-
lice Judge Cabaniss yesterday with
Charles McHugh of IL Beaver street,
who swore to a complaint charging j.
Costigan, employment agent at Fell
street. with illegally and willfully OBJ
tanning money from him on June for
securing position, and not only not
doing SO, but refusing to return the
money.
1T is crying injustice" said Jones,
the way these men are treated by en-
ployment agents, and we want to know
just how we stand under the act passed
in 1903 and amended in 1905 after a de-
cision of the supreme court, which de-
clared that two sections of the original
act were unconstitutional. We want to
know IL the other sections of the act
are constitutional. We want TO know
II we have the right, as we claim we
have, to inspect the books of these
agents and compel them to fill in the
blanks that we send them, giving full
particulars regarding the men for
whom they nave obtained work"

SUPERVISOR MITCHELL
IN A FIGHTING MOOD

OAKLAND, June 17.-"You're fall
sifier and no gentleman, and you can't
appear before this board" shouted
Chairman John Mitchell into the ears
of Attorney Dudley Kinseil at the meet
ing of the supervisors this morning.
The lawyer appeared to oppose an ap-
plication of w. w. Hopkins for saloon
license on the old county road, near
Mills college.
Barely was that scene over when J.
F. Morse, a heavy property owner in
the district, incurred the supervisorial
wrath by announcing that his portest
would not amount to much in view Of
the boards preconceived decision to
grant the license.
Whats that?' roared Chairman
Mitchell; -'preconceived decision7"
That's what I said," declared Morse.
You withdraw that remark or you
can't talk here" proclaimed Mitchell.
Resigned to the situation Morse with
drew the words, saying, Discretion is
the better part of valor."
Whether preconceived or not, Hop
kins was granted his license to open a
saloon and roadhouse.
Attorney Kinsell began approaching
deep water when he challenged the
truth of c. F. Weitz statements in
connection with Hopkins application.
Both Weitz and c. w. Carew had
signed the application and then with
drew their names. Weitz went before
the board today and testified that he
was ready now to stand for the license.
Kinsell, appearing for the protestants,
questioned the truth of Weitz' declara-
tion that he had not been approached
by any one in Hopkins interest.
The mans sworn statement ought to
be sufficient" interrupted Chairman
Mitchell.
The statement is not true" repeated
Kinseil.
You have no right to say such a
thing" said Mitchell.
"Oh, well. il you have decided to
grant this license -"
You're falsifier and no gentleman.
You have questioned the integrity of
| this board. If you do not keep quiet /
will call the sheriff to remove you,''
Indignantly interrupted Chairman
Mitchell as he ordered a recess.

EASTERN PRESS FRIENDLY
TOWARD GOLDEN STATE
Leading Georgia Newspaper Is the
Latest to Publish a Good
Word for California

The California Promotion committee
has proved beyond doubt that the east
ern press will print the good news
about California and San Francisco as
readily as the bad If il be given the
opportunity. The most recent evidence
of the good will of the eastern press
is seen in a quarter of column article
in the Atlanta, Ca, Evening Journal,
which fully describes the recently pub
lfshed typographical map of Cali
fornia that was issued by the COM
nnittee. The paper in question tells all
about the map and advises its readers
to send for it, giving its price and the
headquarters of the committee
This is but one of many instances OF
the friendliness toward California that
is being shown by the outside press
and bringing about Of the change Is due
to the persistence of the committee
which keeps constantly telling the east
of the good things in the west.
