PRISON DIRECTORS FIX
PRICE OF GRAIN BAGS
Set the Figure at About One Cent I'm
der the Market Quotations
For Other Sacks

The State prison directors have fixed
the price of San Quentin grain bags for
this year at IA cents, which is about
! cent under the market for other grain
bags Those farmers who take time by
the foreIock and get their orders in now
will benefit thereby on the basis of cur
rent quotations. Under the law no one
buyer can take the entire output of the
prison, and each is limited to a mod
crate amount, the object of the law be-
ing to prevent any cornering of the
product.
In former years, however, from time
to time these bags have fallen into the
hands Of scheniing spectators, who
by various subterfuges evaded the law
and secured large lines for distribution
among their business associates and
customers. d,
Instances have been brought to light
in which farmers entitled to a few
thousand bags only have by the use of
the names of their friends and relatives
secured a much greater apportionment
than the law contemplated.
The arbitrary price fixed by the
prison directors is generally below the
market quotations. The purpose of this
is to benefit the grain grower. but it
has acted as a temptation to speculat-
orS.

EIGHTH STREET To
Be IMPROVED

The Board of Public Works directed
City Engineer Woodward yesterday to
prepare a map showing the grades on
Eighth street, from Channel to Six
teenth, with a view to extending the
first named street through blocks 16S
and 10 of the Potrero. Woodward
filed a report recommending the i'm
provement as a desirable one in view
of the recent establishment of the new
wholesale district in that locality. The
Improvement would furnish a much
needed direct connection between the
Potrero and the northern part of the
city. The board deferred action on
the requirement of the property needed
for the extension until the map indi-
Gated has been prepared.
George F. Duffey presented his Gre
dentials as Commissioner of Works for
term of three years, to which he was
appointed by the Mayor. and he was re-
elected president of the board.
The petition OF A NJ Armstrong for
a renewal of his permit to erect a
three-story building on the corner of
McAllister and Willard streets was laid
over for one week, as a suit to deter
mine whether the building encroaches
FIVE feet on the sidewalk is on trial in
the courts.
The board ordered that an outline
of two parks in Dolores street, between
Fifteenth and Seventeenth. should be
made so that Dolores street could be
repaved.
The board ordered the repairing of
sewer breaks in Precita avenue, be-
tween Mission and Coso streets and
Hugo and Seventh avenues so that the
roadways could be paved.
The resolution revoking the contracts
for the paving of Minna street, west of
Third. and Stevenson street. between
Third and Fourth. and using the money
for the resurfacing of Steiner street
from McAllister to Pine. was laid over,
as the Stevenson street contract had
not expired, and c. s. Harvey, the con-
tractor. was willing to go ahead with
the work.

LAND FRAUD CASES
MUST BE TRIED

United States District Judge de
Haven yesterday overruled the de-
murrer of the defendant in the case
of the United States against George w.
Brace, indicted for subornation of per-
jury. The indictment charges Brace
with having induced Howard A. Cotrell
to make a false oath before the re-
ceiver of public moneys for the Eureka
land district. Cotrell made applica-
ton to purchase $50 acres of timber
land and affirmed that he had not made
any agreement by which the title might
inure for the benefit of any persons
other than himself. The defendant de-
murred upon the ground that the oath
was extra judicial. not authorized by
law, and would not sustain the indict-
ment
Judge de Haven said that the obvious
intention of the statute was to restrict
the right of purchasing public timber
lands to persons who in good faith en-
tered the same for their own use and
benefit. He declared that the appli-
cant should not be a dummy nor
should he apply to purchase the land
on speculation. The facts stated in the
application should not only be true, but
should also be true when the land was
paid for.
In the case of the United States VS..
George w. Brace and Albert B. Young,
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
Government out of timber lands in the
Eureka district, Judge de Haven held
that the statute of limitations did not
apply and that the defendants must go
to trial.

LOVER FAILS IN EFFORT TO
COLLECT CHANGE ON PRESENT
Fiancec Breaks on Engagement After
Making Use of a 500 Note and
Tilted Sweetheart Sues

Frank S. Brown, i teamster. whose
course of true love traversed p rough
and rocky road and ended in a spill,
met an ignominious defeat yesterday
at the hands of Lydia Schuster. his one
time sweetheart in his effort to COL
lect $50 change on 800 bank note
which he gave her a year ago Other
efforts falling, Brown brought suit
against the erstwhile object of HIS af-
fections in Justice Golden's court,
where the tale of his troubles was un-
folded yesterday.
After several weeks spent in whis-
pering nothings in his darling's ear.
Brown became imbued with the tender
spirit of the season and on Christmas
day. 1905, he made formal offer of his
hand and heart. Miss Lydia took a
week to think it over and then began
the new year by accepting him. All
went well for a time, but one evening
Browns fiancee casually mentioned
that she was in need of a new coat.
Prodigal in his generosity, Brown drew
forth a 500 greenback and told her to
take it and purchase the garment at
once.
In March the love affair ended. Miss
Schuster informing Brown that she
had leaped before she looked" and
could no longer accept him as her one
covered from the shock, but not so his
pocketbook; hence the suit.
Brown claimed that the. coat for
which the money was given cost but
$40 and that the $50 remaining was
rightfully his. Miss Schuster denied
this, saying that Brown evidently had
forgotten his momentary kindness of
heart and that he had told her at the
time that IL there was anything left of
the 500 she was to put it away for her
own use.
The finding of the court was in favor
of the defendant
