CHEMISTS GET RID
OF SULPHUR IN FRUIT
SOAKING IN WATER REMOVES
SUBSTANCE
Laboratory Experiments Undertaken
to Decide What Effect Govern-
ment Order Will Have on
Cooked Food
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. H.-Laboratory
experiments conducted during the past
few months by Curtis & Tompkins of this
city with sulphured fruit and one partic-
ularly applying to questions asked at
meeting of growers and packers with
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson last
week, have developed results of impor-
tance with relation to the controversy
over the alleged injurious effect of sub
jecting fruits to the sulphuring process.
Curtis e. Tompkins report that the
we'll known fact that cooked fruit con-
tains a very small proportion of the
sulphurous acid originally contained in
the material was the basis of an extend
ed series of experiments under varying
conditions and with a large assortment
of fruits differing widely in the amounts
of sulphur dioxide they contained
1t was determined that by soaking the
sulphured fruit in fresh water before
cooking an appreclable percentage of the
acid is gotten rid Of.
"It is seen from these experiments" the
chemists report, that a fruit sample con-
| tanning sulhpurous acid considerably in
excess of the present pure food limita-
| tion of 035 per cent is reduced to hgures
below that requirement by the time the
| fruit is ready for table consumption. 1t
may be further stated that practically all
| of the sulphurous acid so remaining is
combined, and not in a free state.
Throughout these experiments the fruit
was cooked to a point where it was III
for table consumption. and the period OF
cooking represented about twenty min
utes for fruit soaked over night and
sixty minutes for fruit not soaked at
all; others in like proportion"
The chemists conclude that "inasmuch
as very small fraction of l per cent of
dried fruit is consumed in a raw state,
it would appear that favorable consider
alton of these facts should be taken into
account in fixing the legal limitation of
sulphurous acid applicable to the dried
| fruit trade"

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. T.-Emil j.
thinner, vice president of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, convicted of contempt of court in
refusing to answer questions at the first
trial of Louis Glass In Judge Lawlor's s
court, was to have been sentenced by
Police Judge Weller today, but when the
case was called his attorney, Charles HI.
Fairall stated that he was not prepared
for argument on his objections to the
passing of sentence.
By consent of the prosecution, the mat
ter was postponed until next Tuesday.
Mr.. Fairall has raised the point that the
verdict of guilty cannot stand, as the
jury was discharged before it was re-
corded.
The jury returned its verdict last night
after being out four hours and after hav-
ing returned twice to the court for in
structions.
The defense holds the verdict to be null
lifted by the further fact that the jury
failed to find on the interposed plea of
"once in jeopardy" The law, as viewed
by the defense will be stated to the court
Tuesday and motion will be made to
set aside the verdict and discharge the
defendant If this motion is denied, SEN
tence will be pronounced and an appeal
will at once be carried to the superior
court.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. T.-Marooned on a
desolate rock in the Pacific; their skiff
lost; no food save the flesh of seal;
compelled to stand helpless while their
comrade drowned; to regain their boat
only to find her in sinking condition
and endless hours of incessant labor as
they bailed to keep her atloat, were in
cluded in the horrible experiences OF
"Crawfish" johnson and Tony Machado,
two members of the deep sea fishing col
ony. whose home is at La Playa
1--WE had gone out to the rocks to get
a couple of seal cubs" said Johnson.
"Tony and 1 had got out of the skiff
when a tremendous wave caught the
craft, throwing Lugo into the sea. Ma
chado, who could swim, jumped in to try
and catch the boat, but the sea carried
the skiff away faster than Tony could
swim, so he gave it up.
"Lugo became entangled in the kelp
not over thirty feet from the rock, his
head and shoulders out of water, but
he could not release himself and we could
not reach him and he drowned before our
eyes, and all the next day his body
foated on the top of the water and was
torn by guls within our sight, and we
were helpless. 1 figured that we must
stay there seven or eight days, but the
next noon the power boat America came
by and took us off"
