A New Box Making Machine.

The California Fruit Grower tells of
a newly invented machine, which, if it
works as we'll as it is said to do, will
be quite boon to owners of large
orange groves.
George B. Parker, of Riverside, has
perfected his new automatic box ma
chine, and gave a demonstration of it's
workings to a company of orange pack
ers and shippers last week. The new
machine resembles the linotype not a
little in it's operation, and occupies a
floor space of 6xS feet square. The
box shook is fed into the machine auto
matically from the four sides of the
top; the machine assemblies the several
pieces, and when they are in place "a
plungers drive the nails in These are
fed through copper tubes much in the
same manner that matrices are assem-
bled in the linotype. The nail is held
firmly in place until it is nearly driven
in the wood, reducing the possibility of
the nail bending to a minimum. The
operation completed, the box is pushed
onto chute which carries it to the
packer. The machine requires two men
to run it, and turns out boxes at the
rate of about fifteen per minute.

HOORS ATTACK THE FRENCH
After a Short but Sharp Engagement
the Tribesmen Were Driv-
en- Back.

Casablanea, Morocco, Aug ia large
force of MOors suddenly descended upon
the French camp early this morning, but
were driven off after sharp conflict The
tribesmen advanced to within 800 yards of
the city, when General Drude sent against
them under cover of the guns of the war
ships a detachment of fifty Algerian
Spahis (Arab horsemen in the French ser
vice.. The MOOrs permitted this small
body of cavalry to advance for half
mile unmOested, when they suddenly am
bUscaded them and in a wild charge got
right among the Spahis.
The head of one Spahi was cut off with
one sweep of a big Moorish sword. The
French officer in command of the Spahis
and several of his men were wounded, but
the officer rallied his force and slowly re-
tired, fighting until a large body of Spahis
from the town succeeded their comrades
and routed the Moors.
The fighting covered a front of about
sixteen miles and lasted from to II d.
m. The French used field and machine
guns with deadly effect in repelling the
attack of the MOOrs, and shells from the
cruiser Gloire also rendered efficient ser
vice.
The Spahis and Sharpshooters each lost
one man killed and had several wounded
including Captain Coud of the Spahis.
About a dozen horses were killed.

SEES DANGER IN
THIRD TERM
One of the GuggenheimS Says
Attempt viii Be Made to
Keep Roosevelt in For Life.

Paris, Aug 19-'There is a crisis ap-
preaching in the United States" says
Solomon R. Guggenheim, of New York.
If President Roosevelt can be reelected
an attempt will be made to assure him
a permanent tenure of that office. The
consequences of so great a departure
from American and republican tTadi-
tons are too great and far-reaching to
be overestimated."
Next to the Rockefeller group there is
probably nowhere in America so vast All
aggregation of family wealth as that
which is held by the seven Guggenheim
brothers, who control the smeiter trust.
1t is supposed, if they were to divide
their wealth, they would have ratable,
quotable values of about 500, 100000,
fortune of S700,000000, under the cOntror
of family council
Broadly speaking" said Guggenheim,
There are many political parties in the
United States. One, Of course, will place
William Jennings Bryan in the field for
president The second is now in favor of
Secretary Taft TO head the Republican
party as the candidate to succeed Mr..
Roosevelt.
But there is still a strong third term
party for Roosevelt in spite of his an
nOunced determination not to run again
AS l have said Mr.. Roosevelt can be pre-
vailed upon to run, and If he is elected
there is a strong indication that an en-
deavor will b made to keep him in the
presidency for life.
This may seem to be a revolutionary
sort of talk for d business man to indulge
in, but look at the way things are going
now in our democratic country The
changes in the ordinary customs of life
at the White house within the past five
years will serve very we'll to illustrate
what / mean. They show a very great
and pronounced tendency to form our
morals on the style which prevails in
European capitals and courts
AT the White house there seems to be
a rapidly growing tendency to make So
cial life there more and more like that
at a royal court"

FINDS WHEAT OF
MOUND BUILDERS
PaySon Farmer Gets Excellent
Results from PrehiS-
t0rlc Grain.
ADAPTED TO ARID SOIL
DISCOVERS SKELETONS AND
OTHER ANCIENT RELICS.

Amasa Potter, a pioneer of PaysOn. sent
Governor Cutler an interesting communi-
cation yesterday with reference to the
quality of wheat which he found stored in
a mound on his farm which had been pre-
sumably used by the mount builders as
granary.
When Mr.. Potter took up the land in
1870 near Payson, his farm was covered
with artificial mounds. In excaVating
| these mounds, Mr. Potter found in one of
tnem a sort of q bin in which there were
several bushels of wheat. The farmer
planted some of this seed in some fertile
earth in a box. The seed terminated and
| started to grow 1t was then transplant
ed and that fall yielded buShel of grain.
Each season the seed was replanted and
Mr. Potter is now growing several acres
| from the grain of this prehistoric people.
Inc wheat thrives remarkably well
without irrigation and seems peculiarly
adapted tosarid soil. The yield from this
wheat is several bushels more an acre
than from any other wheat planted on the
same soil Samples of the grain were sent
TO the secretary of agriculture and several
agricultural schools. Farm authorities af-
ter making experiments with the grain
have pronounced it the best they have
ever found for dry farming
In addition to the grain found in one of
| the mounds Mr.. Potter unearthed two
skeletons in a house built within the
mound. One was that of a male and the
other that of a female. The skeleton of
the man measured six feet and that Of
the woman five and one-half feet. In the
opinion of physicians who examined them
the skeletons are those of white people. A
streak of rust along the left side of the
skeleton of the man is believed by the
archaeologists to indicate that there was
a sword of some sort fastened to that
side of the mans body and that it has
| been reduced to an iron rust which
| stained the bones on that side.
A large amount of pottery with vessels
| ranging in size from one pint TO forty
/ quarts were also found in the mounds.
/ The collection of pottery, the skeletons
| and other relics owned by Mr.. Potter were
/ sold to the government for $3.50 by the
/ farmer

this self-appointed committee presumed to
dictate to Mayor BransfOrd as to whom
he should appoint chief of police. The
committees choice was Francis Hall, in
spectOr for the board of public works
This was communicated 20 the mayor,
who took the suggestion under ''cOnsidera-
ton"
Mayor Bransford took no one into his
counsel and the American party men
were as much at a loss as any one else to
know whom he would appoint
The intention of the mayor was first an
nOunced last evening at a meeting Of the
American cOJnctlmen. who met Mayor
BTansford in his office at 1880 o'clock The
name of Mr.. Mckenzie was the only one
presented by the mayor. The cOuncilmen,
eager to administer another rebuke to the

of Mr.. Mckenzie was matter Of course.

to confirm the appointment.
Not Political Appointment.
In naming Mr.. Mckenzie chief of police.
Mayor Bransford is not making a political
appointment. Mr.. Mckenzie is engaged in
the tombstone business on South State
street, and lives at the BransfOrd apart
ments. He is a member of the 'AmeN-
can party. but not in any sense a poll
tician or political worker. He is a close
friend of Mayor BransfOrd, and will, of
course, be in harmony with every policy
inauguTated by the mayor
As chief of police he has no strings tied
to him. He Is a shrewd business man,
though without experience in police work
He accepted the position at a sacrifice to
his own interests as a personal favor to
the mayor.
The new chief of police will file his
bond this morning and enter upon the
work at once, relieving Captain John 3.

police since the resignation Of George

TAYLOR'S TITLE
DECLARED GOOD
Legality of Selection of New
Mayor of San Francisco Up
held by Supreme Court.
DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS
FOLLOWERS OF scHMITZ DOWN
AND OUT.

San Francisco. Aug. 19.-The state SUI
preme court today rendered decision in
the McKannay salary case sustaining the
legality of the removal of Mayor Schmitz
and the appointment of Mayor Taylor.
Chief Justice Beatty, thanked on two
sides by Associate Justices Henshaw,
Angellotti and Sloss, Mcfarland. Shaw
and Lorigan, sat on a rough platform, be
hind a cheap desk-regeneration relics of
the fire. Their audience. numbering
hundred odd men who had assembled in
the interest of curiosity of expected argu-
mentS anent the validity of the Oliver
grand jury and the legality of the in
dictments by it returned, got the news of
the Taylor confirmation when the other
matter had been postponed and the court
was about to rise. Chief Justice Beatty
said:
Created Some Excitement.
In the case of McKannay vs. Horton
the court has reached a decision and in
an opinion finds in favor of DR.. Taylor
as mayor"
AT that there was a great buzz. and
white-bearded Colonel Poole the i'm
memorial bailiff of the supreme court in
San Francisco had difficulty preserving
order for adjournment. Many lawyers of
state fame crowded about the clerk for
which Justice Beatty handed to him. The
friends of DR.. Taylor beamed on each
other and shook hands. The followers
of Schmitz, of whom two score or more
were there. looked glum.
The opinion was written by the chief
justice and cOncurred in by the six as
sociate justices. While il expressly dis
avows a determination of whether or not
Schmitz is de jure mayor (mayor in
right. no cleverness. is required to see
that the court does not think he is in the
standing Of DR.. Taylor, as de facto
mayor (mayOr in facO.
New Board Legal.
One of the unstated effects of the opin-
ion is to uphold the legality of DR.. Tay-
lor's board of supervisors and discourage
Mr.. SchmitZ' appOintees from any fur
Their efforts to claim seats.
The gist of the opinion in a nutshell is
that the conviction of Schmitz of the
felony of extortion ousted him from the
mayOralty and the tendency of his ap-
peal does not bar DR.. Taylor stepping
into the vacancy.
Immediately after the rendering of the
decision by the supreme court in his
favor. Mayor Taylor appointed a new
board of police commissioners, composed
of the following men: Hugo T.. Keil
manager Keil estate; S. t. Joseph and
A. Leggett. attorneys; Charles A. Swell
