crease the price of supplies fur nished to the institution, as the prices in the past have been based on cash at the end of the month. The income of peniten-
 tiary is now placed at $3, 900 per month and the expenses five times as much. This income comes solely from the prisoners working on the contracts which have been so odius to the polite ians of the State. The money received from the sale of the last fall cotton, has long since been paid out, as a good portion of it was due on bills when it was received. This deficit gives Dr. A. k. Moore, paesident of the board, who vigorously oppos- ed the holding of the cotton last year, to say, T told you so." He says if the board had the muney which was lost by holding the cotton, about $30,OOO; they would be able to tide over with out any deficit. He says though that as there is no election this year, that the cotton will not have to be held for politics so the deficit may not come next year. There are now 87 bales of cotton in the hands of the board. They have been offered but 8 cents for it and are loath to turn loose at that. The money which comes in now is just about enough to pay the guards.

CONVENTION Will
INDORSE PERKINS
Republicans Frame Strong Di-
rect Primary, Exclusion and
California Protection PIanks
WOman's Suffrage and Anti-
Racetrack Propositions Are
Refused Admission

A strong direct primary plank, a
tariff plan insisting on adequate pro-
lection for California industries, an ex-
clusion plank which does not specifical-
ly refer to Japanese and an indorse-
ment of Senator Perkins which just
stops short of being an instruction of
the legislative candidates for his re-
election-these are the most important
planks of the republican platform
which viii be reported to the conven-
ton today.
The pianks most conspicuous by
their absence from the platform are
the women's suffrage plank, which was
turned down by the committee, and an
anti-racetrack plank, which, strange to
say, was not placed before the COM
mittee for its consideration.
The committee on platform met in
the Hotel Metropole at o'clock last
evening and remained in executive ses-
sion for nearly three hours. The doors
were thrown open only once and
that was to let the suffragettes make
their ineffectual appeal.
The platform begins with a strong in
dorsement of the national platform and
contains a high eulogy of Taft and
Sherman.
National legislation looking to the
revision of certain tariff schedules is
approved. but insistence is strongly
placed on the maintenance of an ade-
quate degree of protection for all Cali
fornia industries. Californias repre-
sentatives in congress are in
structed to stand for this resolutely.
There is commendation for the states
congressional delegation and words of
praise for Senator Flint. But panegyric
reaches it apogee in the reference to
Senator Perkins. The senior senator is
cuddled in sugary epithets and the fact
that he is to be chairman of the COM
mittee on naval affairs, owing to the
death of Allison. is not overlooked. This
position, says the platform, will allow
Perkins to give the seacoast line of
California generous treatment such as
il has never received in the past.
There is a plank pledging the legis-
lature TO economy in the expenditure
of public funds and urging the restric-
ton of attaches to those absolutely
necessary.
The exclusion plank follows the line
Of others in former platforms. It de-
mands the enforcement of the immi-
grafton laws and pledges the party to
continuance of the policy of exclu-
sion, but it refers to Asiatics only and
does not specify Japanese or other ori-
entails.
Senate constitutional amendment
number one, providing for the segre-
cation of taxes, is commended The
direct primary law is approved and the
legislative candidates are pledged to
carry out the promises of the party in
this regard. The institution of another
reformatory for Juvenile offenders is
urged. Governor Gillett's stand on the
good roads question is commended. The
state administration receives a strong
Endorsement, the low tax rate and the
payment of accumulated state debts be-
ing singled out for special praise

BAY PIRATES ARE
SET ADRIFT IN BOAT
Two Men and a Woman Are
Captured Through Clever
Strategy

OAKLAND Aug. 27.-Two men, be-
lieved to be bay pirates. and a woman
who was aiding them were captured
by the Oakland police tonight through
a clever piece of strategy on the part
of Captain William Peters of the bark
California.
Captain Peters went ashore yester-l
day and on rowing back to his vessel,
which is lying off Eleventh avenue, dis
covered another boat made fast to it
and distinguished the forms of strang-
ers walking about on the deck With
out asking for any explanations, Cap
tain Peters cut the other boat adrift
and rowed back to shore and notified
the police. He was joined by Captain
Book and three policemen. When the
party reached the bark they discov-
cred lot of ships goods piled up
on deck ready for removal and the
three strangers. They were arrested
and gave the names of Joe Lawrence.
Charles Eitterly and Helene Casade.
One of the men, it is thought, escaped
capture by swimming ashore when he
saw, that his boat had been cut adrift

STATES MADE UP
FOR NOMINATIONS
Short May Give Flint Battle in
the Sixth Senatorial
District
Sh0rtridge and Grant Will Be
Named for Electors at
Large

When the state convention gets down
to business today by calling for the
nomination of 10 presidential electors,
there may be one contest in the sixth
congressional district.
Tom Flint of San Benito is the or
ganization candidate in the sixth, hav-
ing earned the honor recently by par
ucular fidelity to the machine, but
Frank Short of Fresno may be put
forward in opposition to him. At a
late hour Short was still undecided as
TO whether he should risk a contest.
Samuel M. Shortridge of San Francis
co and U. S. Grant of San Diego will
be chosen for electors at large.
In the first district DR.. G. w. Dwin-
ellie of Siskiyou has been indorsed by
the congressional convention and will
be nominated.
In the second district former Lieu
tenant Governor Alden Anderson is the
choice of the organization
In the third district Francis NJ. Smith,
better known as "Borax' Smith, will
be placed on the ticket
In the fourth district of San Fran
cisco Albert E. Castle of the fortieth
district is the first choice of the or
ganization, but it has doubts as to
not the honor will go to Henry George
Washington DinklespieI of the forty
first district.
In the fifth district the honor is in
tended for d. o. Druffel, a member of
the state central committee. J. o.
Hayes was a candidate. but decided to
withdraw his name.
In the sixth district there may be a
contest between Flint and Short. Flint
has earned the honor in the eyes of the
organization by delivering the San Be-
nito delegation to State Senator Henry
c. Lynch, thus enabling the latter to
beat Warren M. John for the nomina-
tion. But Shorts name may be placed
in nomination, too.
In the seventh district, which com
prises Los Angeles. the organization
has found a wealthy capitalist in Byron
Erkenbrecher, name unknown to poll
ticians, but said to have the proper sort
of sound to the campaign financiers. So
the capitalist will be chosen.
In the eighth district the choice has
been tardy. but the honor seems finally
to have settled on Banker Drew of San
Bernardino, president of the Farmers
Exchange bank.
