Chicken That can Talk.

After ten years of experimenting Gin
ton a. Willis, a raDcher, on the Monterey
road near San Jose, Cal, has produced
a chicken that can talk. The fowl is
be sixth generation of cross between
a parrot and q guinea hen end in It's
every characteristic except the lower half
of its bill and the arrangement OF its
toes the bird is chicken. The upper
half of the bill is straight like that of
the guinea hen, while the lower is clearly
q parrot beak. It's toes are arranged
two and two instead of three and one,
as in the barnysrd fowl. At present the
chickens vocabulary is limited to "Morn-
ing, Clint; chaw terbacker, Clint" and
a swear word.

Steve Adams's Confession.

Steve Adams, another prisoner witness
for the State in the case Of W. d. Hay
wood, is now on the way to Boise, Idaho,
coming from the jail at Wallace, Idaho,
where be was held pending trial on the
charge of murder. Adams, according to
Harry Orchard, was partner of the as
sassin in many Of the dumping on ex-
petitions" successful and unsuccessful,
to which Orchard has confessed.
Adams also confessed last year, but ne
repudiated the document when he faced
the gaIlows. The confession is, however,
sworn to and in writing. 1t shows careful
correction and interlineation in Adams's
own handwriting. Astounding though
it may se:m, those who have seen Adams's
confession say it surpasses Orchards
story of murder. The list of Adams's al
leg, d victims is not as long as that with
which Orchard credits himself, but this
ia said 10 be because Steve still-hunted
single quarry, while Harry, to use his
own words, 'did not care whether he
killed one man or fifty" as he ''felt at
that time"

To PAY POLICEMEN FOR
ENFORCED VACATIONS
Supervisors Decide That
the Loss of Salaries
Was Unjust

The board of supervisors at tomor-
rows meeting will adopt resolution
providing for the payment of the sal
aries of those members of the police
department who were compelled last
year to take enforced leaves of alb
sence owing to the scarcity of the ap-
preparation.
The resolution recites that half
Of the police force was laid off for one
month and that it was unjust to de-
prive the men of their pay while the
other half were not disturbed in their
positions. The plan for enforced
leaves of absence had to be aban-
doned owing to the increase in crime
in the days following the disaster,
which necessitated the recall of the
policemen who were on leaves of alb
sence.
The resolution also sets forth that
the charter fixes the salary of police
men at $1.224 per year, and that any
reduction therefrom was invalid
The amount involved is in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, and the resolution
calls upon the auditor and treasurer
to cash all demands covering compul-
sorry vacations of policemen after they
have been countersigned by the chief
of police

Gabriel Hines and his fly by night"

OF Turk and Eddy streets feel that the
hoodoo is no more. Legitimate busi-
eess competition killed off Hines and
his .-Ilash Store" where the business
methods were worse, If possible, than

MASTER MARINER TELLS
OF THE SAILORS STRIKE
AND ACCUSES P|CkEIs
Stuart Mathews .Testltles
That Nonunion Men
Were Molested
CAMERAS PUT IN USE
Says That Photographs OF
Officers of Vessels
Were Obtained

The testimony of Stuart Mathews,
master mariner, was taken yesteruas
before Referee Clement Benpett IN tne
contempt proceedings growing out OF
the case Of the Hammond Lumber com
pany against the sailors union. he
testified that strikers picKets USED 70
annoy nonunion crews by visiting yes
sells in their launches and with boat
hooks pulling sailors off the sides OF
the ships into the sea. He said tnat
this procedure became so common that
whenever sailors were sent over the
side to paint the hull an armed guard
was stationed on deck to prevent the
men from being knocked overheard
by the strikers pickets.
Mathews testified that when begin
ming their conversation with nonunion
sailors the pickets usually refrained
from violent language, but that when
the men refused to desert they were
abused verbally by the pickets. They
used to threaten to hang the sailors
aor run them out of the, country, said
Mathews, "and the sailors union often
sent pickets as passengers on non
union vessels They were literally
provided with money and whisky and
they used to talk to the sailors and
often succeeded by intimidating them
in inducing them to desert"
Mathews said that on several occa-
sions the pickets brought cameras with
them and took snapshots Of the boat
swain and other petty officers for the
purpose, as they explained, of having
the nonunion sailors boycotted after
the strike was over.
One evening while going to the
wharf to board the steamship Pomona
the witness was set upon by a gang
of pickets and was Knocked down and
kicked by them. He was often obliged
to hire a special policeman and to
take his wife along for protection
when going to and from the boat.
The investigation will be resumed
early this week
