RECOVER
STOLEN JEWELS
VAL ABLE DIAMOND IS FOUND
UNDER CARPET
Officers Find Quantity of Rings and
Brooches Twisted Out of
Shape to Prevent Possi-
BILE Identification

Joe Nelson. alias Charles Young, said
by the police to be dangerous crook and
former convict, is reported to have made
a confession to detectives yesterday in
which he admitted robbing a number of
rooms in Los Angeles and obtaining
nearly $1,000 worth of loot.
Nelson was rooming on East First
street at the time of his arrest. Yester-
day afternoon he consented to lead the
detectives to his room and show them
where he had hidden a quantity of jewell
ry he had stolen. At the room the
officers found a number of rings and
brooches all twisted and bent out of shape.
They were evidently broken to prevent
them from being identified. A large
diamond worth about $50 was found
hidden beneath a carpet A needle stick
ing above 1t pointed to where 1t was
hid. Several worthless articles of jew
elry were also found and 1t is claimed
by the police that Nelson intended to
work bunco game and pass this off as
real goods.
Late yesterday afternoon the young
man was arraigned before Police Justice
Chambers. His trial was continued until
today Bonds were fixed at $1,000 Nelson
was unable to deposit this amount

NEW FENDER LAW
EFFECTIVE FRIDAY
CITY WILL PROSECUTE ALL
VIOLATORS
All Cars Operating Within the city's
Boundaries Must Be Equipped
With Regulation Guards.
No Jurisdiction Outside

After Friday trolley companies which
violate the amended fender ordinance will
be subject to prosecution. City Attorney
Leslie r. Hewitt has announced that he
will enforce the law.
The interurban companies are now re-
quired to equip their cars while being
operated within the city limits with the
eclipse tenders which are in use on the
city lines What, to do with the tenders
after the city limits have been passed or
entered is for the companies to determine.
The law formerly permitted the fen
ders to be hung three inches from the
ground. This was changed to make 1t
read five and half inches high at the
request of the trolley experts.
It costs $50 to eqtip each car with a
fender. and this has been the principal
aforementioned sub rosa oniy-why the

WITHDRAWS NOT GUILTY
PLEA ON BURGLARY CHARGE

When arraigned for trial yesterday in
the superior court before Judge Smith.
F. L. Guthrie withdrew his former plea
of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty
to the charge of burglary.
Guthrie is accused of entering the sa-
loon of Chris Hickson at 113 East First
street one Sunday last April and taking
several quarts of whisky. Later in the
day he is said to have returned and
broken open the cash register, from
which $15 in silver was taken.
In the preliminary examination he said
that the saloon was Illegally open and
that he had bought the whisky.
Judge Smith accepted the plea of guilty
and ordered Guthrie to be returned Sat-
urday for sentence, when, it is said, he
will apply for probation.

opinion that high wines" will, in the

perhaps, the battleships.
Meanwhile, a large plant has been
established at Meriden, Connecticut,
for turning out great quantities OF
lamps, stoves and other contrivanccs
adapted for the utilization of dena-

In any kind of apparatus suitable for

necessary to invent for the purpose

the idea OF burning not the alcohol di-
rectly, but the gas generated from ii
by heat. Among these is kind OF
street lamp, exceedingly brilliant,
which, used with an incandescent
mantle, has power of 300 candles.
The new alcohol cook stoves are very
compact. with brolers and other at

cheaper to manage than ngasolines stoves,
when the fluid fuel employed comes
down to its normal price. Besides,
they are decidedly cleaner OF heat

automobiles. This, indeed, is quite
an interesting Improvement: and it is
worth mentioning, incidentally, that
the motor cars In the future will be
provided with modified cirhurctor
for burning alcohol, thus getting rid
OF all disagreeable smell.
Outdoor heaters and cookers, burn
ing alcohol, will soon he on the mar

been devised for the use Of the same
fuel In the kitchens of yachts. 1t
seems likely, indeed, that alcohol will
be employed also for the Lighting and
heating of such pleasure boats Lamps
suitable for the purpose, with incan-
descent mantles, give beautiful illu-
mination. One may add that in all

State School.Fund Loans.

The following statement, issued by
w. L. Stockwell, state superintendent
of public instruction, secretary OF the
board of university and school lands,
will be OF interest just now that the
public has had its attention drawn to
the Investment of the permanent
funds OF the various state institutions
and Of the common schools. Numer-
GUS erroneous statements have APP
peared in the press Of late bearing
upon this subject; consequently, this
authentic account will be more than
welcome. The statement Of Mr..
Stockwcll is dated Dec. l6tin
Since March |, 1907, the board Of
university and school lands has in
vested 81 l,Os6, 100000, divided among
the following CLASSES of securities:
Farm loans, S4O1, 400; school bonds,
S479,9O0; municipal bonds, sl5l 100:
county and township bonds, s54, 400.
lnasmuch as there has been some
question as to the boards attitude
toward farm loans, it should be noted
that since March 1, when the amended
law relative to farm loans went into
effect, SlOl 400 has been invested in
this way, or an average Of $4,000 a
month. by months the farm loans
made are as follows: March, nothing:

The Status Of Denatured Alcohol.

AS very little is known out this way
as to just what has been done i'm the
way of initiating the movement for
the manufacture of dcnatured alcohol,
we publish in full an article taken
from recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post:
Practical application Of the dena-
tured alcohol idea is being made on a
very extensive scale. Hitherto the
main difficulty has been one Of cost,
but, to all intents and purposes, this
may be said to have been removed.
To-day, in fact, the untaxed spirits
are being manufactured actually at SO
cheap rate as to enable them to COM
pete in some markets with gasoline.
On the first day OF last August the
price OF tax free alcohol in the United
States was about forty cents a gallon;
but since then it has been falling with
great rapidity. AT present there is
only one large manufacturer In this
country: but many other concerns are
about To embark in the business, and
it is expected, furthermore, that "A
multitude of farmers will soon estab-
lish for themselves small co operative
plants, TO which they will bring their
refuse apples, spoiled cabbages. corn.
cobs and green corn-stalks, and all
sorts OF waste vegetable material, to
be converted into alcohol.
Already in Germany denatured alco-
hol is being produced in enormous
quantities, mainly from potatoes, at
twelve cents a gallon. But a much
more striking Illustration of the posi-
bilities OF cheapening the fluid may be
found nearer home that Is to say, in
Cuba, where vast amounts Of molasses
refuse are available for distillation.
Alcohol derived from this source costs.
on the island, less than ten cents a
gallon. 1t is by all odds the cheapest
fuel in the world, gasoline being out
of competition with 1t.
Now, the obyiou,ncss Of this fact
has led our navy department 10 un-
dertake series OF experiment looking
to the possible adoption Of alcohol as
fuel for warships The government
of course, can import the fluid from
Cuba without paying auy duty. and,
utilized as a substitute for coal, il
might save good deal Of money. AT
the present time Germany and Great
Britain. with the same idea In view,
are building vessels which will be
equipped with engines specially adapt
ed for the use u alcohol as a motive
