Camphor Trees.

Says Secretary James Wilson, of the
department of agriculture: For years
the department has been distributing
camphor tree seed and thousands Of
trees are now growing throughout the
south and Pacific coast states. Two
years ago serious EFFORT was made
to develop the manufacture OF cam.
phor from these trees. Satisfactory
results have been secured and a large
manufacturing concern is now build
ing up a camphor grove of 1000
acres In Florida. from which II hopes
to make camphor. This firm uses
more than 100000 worth OF cam.

The Post Office Inspectors last
year collected $50 900 in $40 fines
from persons who placed written
messages on the inside of packages
of merchandise on which postage
was paid at one cent an ounce.
Most of the eases were technical
violations of the postal laws, the
offence being due to ignorance. A
good many people it seems do not
know that it is against the law to
enclose written messages in pack,
ages of merchandise, newspapers,
etc. Such messages subject the
packages to letter postage. The
Postmaster General has issued an
order directing that proper notices,
warning the public against the
practice, be posted in every Post
Office in the country.

GOV. FOLK ON STATE RIGHTS
Federal Court Injunction Against En-
forcement Of State Laws an In.
fringement
NJ. h. SMITH.

jefferson City, Mo, July D.
Governor Folk gave out state
ment to- night based upon the crit
icism of Missouri laws regulating
railroad rates passed by Justice
Brewer, of the United States Su-
preme Court, in the course Of re.
cent address in Milwaukee. The
Governor says:
The distinguished Justice,
Judge Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, whom esteem very
highly, III an address at Milwaukee
recently, takes me to task for OBJ.
jecting to the practice of the Fed
eral courts of arbitrarily suspending
State statutes until their validity
can be passed upon. He says:
But suppose, through such laws
as Missouri passed, the railroads
actually lose money in carrying
passenger and freight, will the
State make the loss good to themf
Il answer Suppose the Fed
eral court. after many years of lit
igati0n. finds the rates reasonable
and the laws valid will they make
the loss good to the people of Mis-
SQUIRT
TO say that each shipper would
have a right to bring suit against
the railroads is virtually no remedy
at all, owing to the fact that, in
the majority of instances, the ex-
pense of litigation would be greater
than the amount involved. While.
of course, any law regulating rail
road rates must afford the railroads
q reasonable return upon the value
of the property, the question in
volved in this discussion is far
graver than whether the rates !ixed
in these Missouri laws are reason
able; it concerns the right of the
people Of State TO self govern
ment. The people of Missouri are
not preiudiced against railroads,
and if the rates in these statutes are
found to be unreasonable the same
sentiment of justice that caused
their enactment will cause their
notification.
But are statutes of State pre-
sumed to be bad until good? Is II
statute not the law until the FEEDER
al court passes upon it, Laws
have heretofore been presumed to
be valid until found to be invalid.
We are not considering the ques-
ton as to whether a Federal court
can declare a State statute unconsti-
tutional. If it does that, its right
to do so has been firmly established,
and its ruling will meet with re-
spect and obedience. But ques-
ton the right of federal court to
enjoin State from enforcing its
criminal statutes until the court
declares them good
II insist that a State has the
right to enforce its laws until the
court SAYS that those laws are bad.
Not long ago | spoke of the action
of a Federal court in this State
suspending State statutes pending
hearing as to their validity. These
statutes let it be clearly understt Cd

MOUNT TAMALPA|s ROAD
IS HELD BY C0NSTABLEs
Order Closing the Path to
Light Hearted Lovers
Is Enforced

Cupid played no pranks on the road
to Mount Tamalpais Saturday night.
The stern order of Mill Valleys city
fathers routed the little fellow and
lovers whose wont it was once to wan
der up the mountain side arm in arm
were cruelty driven back by force of
village constables.
There were not a few who thought
that the Mill Valley trustees were play
ing a little joke on the Saturday night
merry makers when they announced
some days ago that the road up the
mountain would be closed to lovers and
in fact closed to any one who wanted
to walk that way. About so persons
who scoffed had boldly boasted that
they would defy the men who govern
the pretty little town at the foot of
and were repulsed.
When the last train from San Fran
cisco stopped at the Mill Valley depot
Saturday night the light hearted lovers
stepped blithely on the platform and
were about to take the roadside by
storm when several constables quietly
walked up and whispered in their ears.
This warning given was sufficient for
most of them, for they wended their
way in another direction after taking
one last farewell look at old lovers
lane.
Four couples, more daring than the
rest, scorned the words Of warning
and proceeded along the mountain road.
Before they had progressed half a mile
the heavy hand of the law was laid on
them by the constables. Seeing that
it was useless to attempt the journey
the lovers, sad hearted and downccst,
retraced their steps toward Mill Valley.
The town trustees are highly elated
over the success of their crusade
against lads and lassies. They antici-
pated lot of trouble. But everything
passed off quietly and not a blow was
struck. The trustees state that the
same tactics Will be pursued in the
future and that the sight of a loving
pair strolling up the mountain road will
soon be a novelty.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Buggy Occupied by B. K. Al
bertson and Wife Hit
by Joslen's Car

Mr.. and Mrs. b. K. Albertson were
seriously injured yesterday afternoon
while riding in a buggy on the south
drive of Golden Gate park. Their We
hicle was run down by a rapidly NOV
ing automobile driven by L. J. Travers

their injuries were treated, and were
then taken to their home at 1880
Forty-eighth avenue.
Accounts differ as to the cause of the
accident. Albertson claimed that the
auto was travelling at a high rate of
speed and that it crashed into the rear
of the buggy without warning. I'm
making q turn in the road" said AL
bertson, the auto struck us and we
were thrown from our broken buggy
and lay unconscious in the road" The
physicians at the park hospital said
that Albertson sustained numerous Sc
we're bruises and showed symptoms of
internal injuries. His wife received a
severely wrenched back. Both suf-
fered greatly from the shock.
IHe ponce arrested Cnauneur Trav-
ers and charged him with violating the
state law which provides that autos
shall bear license numbers on the front
lamps. Travers was booked on a charge
of battery. DR.. Joslen, who bailed the
chauffeur out, said that the machine
was going at moderate rate of speed,
but that the horse driven by Albertson
suddenly SHE'D and crossed directly in
front Of the auto and that it could not
be stopped in time to avert the col
lision.
Albertson is a building contractor
and is 65 years of age.

OAKLAND, June 16.-The annual re-
union of the alumni association of st.
Mary's college was held on the campus
today, beginning early in the morning
and combining religious and social
features, which were brought to an end
after nightfall.
More than 100 graduates of St Mary's
were present and aside from meeting
former classmates and recalling old
times the program which was presented
would alone have insured the success
of the gathering.
Low mass was celebrated at 1870 in
the morning by Father James Twohey
of Santa Rosa, this being the second
mass celebrated by him since his or
dination two weeks ago. He is mem
ber of the class of 1902.

dresses were limited to three minutes
and Brother Vellesian. F. S. c., presi-
dent of the college, welcomed the gath
ering in behalf of the faculty. He was
followed by E. J. Barry, '07. in behalf
of the present students. The alumni
were represented by Peter ]. McCor-
mick, 'SS, retiring president of the

The lid was put on. No one knew
who placed it over the bright lighted

the fact that the cover had descended
was mournfully admitted and evidenced
by silent pianos, dumb singers, absent
dancers and idle walters. Even Pratt

Early Sunday morning the word
passed up and down the street that
there would be nothing doing tomor-
row" Police corporals verified the sad
news by calling the proprietors atten-
tion, individually, to the police regu-
lations against music after L o'clock
and dancing at all times.
Subsequent to the attempted si-
lencing of Captain Mooney by Chief
Dinan, who didn't like to have the busi-
ness of his friends along the tederloin
interfered with, the lights f1ared up a
little. Night by night the regulations
were encroached upon little further.
Music continued later and later, and
other saloons besides Pratt & Tferney's
dancing and revelry until everything
was as wide open as even Schmitz
could desire Then came the expose of
Chief Dinan's pact with Kid Sullivan
and the reopening of the notorious
Blooms cafe with the consequent sour
rying of Dinan to cover.

MYSTERY CLOUDS THE
DEATH OF MAN FROM
FRACTURE OF SKULL
William Lacy, Clerk, Dies
After Being Hit With
Billiard Cue
POLICE ARE BAFFLED
Detectives Unable to Find
Any Clews to Identity
of Supposed Slayer
POLICE ARE BAFFLED

The mysterious death Of William
Lacey, a clerk at the city and county
hospital, yesterday is battling both the
police and the hospital authorities, who
fear that the man was the victim OF
foul play.
Lazey's death was the result of a
fracture of the skull and the events
leading up to his arrival at the hos
pitaI are being investigated rigidly by
the police.
Last Wednesday morning shortly
after o'clock Lacey staggered into
the central emergency hospital his
face and clothing covered with blood
He appeared to be in a half dazed con-
dition and informed the doctors that
he. had engaged in a fist fight and re-
ceived the worst Of the contest
Lacey was not badly hurt, his in
iuries consisting Of several contusions
of the head and a wound on the fore
head. He revived rapidly under treat
ment and left the hospital without Civ
ing any more particulars of his fstic
encounter.
Three hours later a hurry up ambu-
lance call was received from Church
and Fifteenth streets. When the am
bulance arrived the driver recognized
-
the sidewalk as Lacey. He was hur-
riedly removed to the hospital and
treated for a possible fracture of the
skull and alcoholism.
After being taken off the operating
table Lacey partly recovered con-
sciousness. In muddled tones he in
formed the doctors that he had been
struck on the head with a billiard cue
Every effort to draw out the name of
the injured mans assailant or some in
cident connected with the attack proved
futile
Lacey was removed to the city and
county hospital that evening. Shortly
after his arrival complications devel
oped and the fracture of the skull be-
came more pronounced. Lacey lowered
between life and death for the last
three days, and death came yesterday
afternoon.
A careful examination Of Lazey's
wounds showed that he had been struck
on the head with a blunt instrument
He evidently had been drinking heavily
for some time, as his nervous system
was in a very bad condition. and the
effects Of the alcohol on his heart,
stomach and other organs was clearly
visible.
The police of the Mission station are
mystifed over the strange case. They
have been unable to find any one who
might throw any light on it.
Lacey was a single man, 80 years old
and resided at 543 Haight street He
gave his occupation as that of a clerk
though the police have been unable to
ascertain where or by whom he was
employed.
