DR.. ". A. Allen was placed on
trial In the district court yesterday
on q charge Of performing an abor-
ton on the person Of Minnie Carlson,
q domestic, It being alleged that the
offense was committed last June.
Before the trial opened the defense

on the ground that they were drawn
from the list Of names certified by the

mission had certified to u list Of the

year. The objection OF the defense to
the jury panel was overruled.

County Attorney Wilson made his
opening statement to the Jury. He
outlined what the state expected Il
prove, and Minnie Carlson. the com.
planning witness, was placed on the
stand.
Most Of her testimony is not at for
publication, and it was necessary fo1
the attorneys. in asking questions. t.
call a spade a spade so that she \ uld
understand what they meant. Both
the attorneys for the prosecution and
defense were considerate In question
ing the witness, but delicacy had to
be abandoned in asking the witness
questions since she failed to comprs
bend the meaning Of the terms used

nection with the case from the lime

until the commission Of the alleged

tempt would be made to exclude the
public from the court during the trial
owing to the nature Of the testimony
introduced, but no such action war
taken. Owing to the large number o.
spectators in the courtroom It was
necessary to fasten the door AMI ex

That Surgeons should Not 20 In
Command Of Hospital Ships.

laid before the house today the re-
Spouse Of Secretary Of the Navy Met
calf to the resolution introduced by
Representative Gallinger for the cor.
respondence relative to the designa-
tton Of STAFF officers to naval COM
mands.
The correspondence Is voluminous,
and included Admiral Brownson's let
ter Of resignation and the, two letters
OF the president commencing the
course Metcalf had pursued There
were also several historical letters
about hospital ship commands, includ-
ing orders issued IN the navy depart
ment by Secretary Bonaparte with
copious endorsements BY bureau OH
GERS bearing upon this question. :
An interesting paper among the
latter is an endorsement by Admiral
Converse, then chief Of the navigation
bureau, delivered on June IA, 1904,
upon the proposition which originated
with the Joint board OF medical off,
GERS Of the army and navy to place
hospital ships in command Of nayaI
surgeons.
Admiral Converse held that It was
necessary to discipline and efficiency
that the officers and crew OF such
ships should be subjected to naval
laws and regulations, and that the ON
GERS in command should be fitted by
experience and training to command q
vessel under all conditions Of weather
and unforeseen contingencies.
Admiral lBrownson's Contention.
The new matter in the correspond.
ence about which congress practically
desired information consists Of q long
memorandum prepared by Admiral
Brownson, then chief Of the bureau,
dated November Is last. thereby an
ticipating the requirements OF the res
olution by nearly q month.
Admiral Brownson holds that,
whether hospital ships or not. such
ships must be navigated and handled
in the same seamanllke manner which
lis required of all vessels to assur
safety on the high seas. There Is
nothing in the training OF medical
omcer, the amendments contend, which
fits him for such command. It requires
just as shllful a navigator to pilot q
hospital ship as It does to pilot a man
of-war, the difficulties are wholly in
dependent OF the internal arrange
ments Of the vessel or the uses to
which it may be placed. To call 1t q
hospital ship does not fully describe
the ship. It would be more nearly
correct to state that "a hospital ship
is a sea,going vessel having q large
hospital on board" Existing regula-
lions give medical officers all neces-
sary authority to control and care
for their department on board ship.
Telegraph operators Or cable engt-
neers are not put in command OF cable
ships nor postmasters in command Of
mail steamers.
Admiral Brownson next enters into
an analysis OF the statutory law bear.
ing on this subject. quoting the acts OF
March :. 1874. and Of August s. 1854.
and section Z Of the personnel act OF
March 8, 1899. all OF which he de.

FLEES lone BUT
LANDS IN FOLSOM.

Escaping from the lone Reform
School last Saturday night and cap
tured in Amador county Monday
night. William Harvey, aged seven
teen years, has been returned to Fol
som prison, where he must complete
term of fifty years for highway
robbery, crime for which he. was
sentenced by Judge Austin of Fresno
little over year ago.
Harvey has been nomad and he
has wandered the globe since a small
boy. His arrest and conviction and
long sentence to Folsom prison in
company With Julius Smith, who was
sent to San Quentin, and who is now
twenty six years OF age, and his dar-
ing escape from the lone reformatory
adds another chapter to his young
criminal career. Harvey and Smith
we're both sentenced to fifty years in
state prison, the limit for highway
robbery, because 1T was proved that
in robbing their victim they had
attempted to put out his eyes with
hot irons.
At the time Harvey was but sixteen
years of age. He served seven months
of his long sentence. when through
the efforts of attorney TREY l.. Ford
he was transferred to the lone re-
formatorv on account of his age.
4 Last Saturday night Harvey made
his escape. His trail was picked up
IN the mountains and finally the
young man was captured by farmer,
at whose home he had gone to get
food. lie was taken into custody
Monday evening. If he gets all the
credits allowed his tlfty-year sentence
will resolve itself into twenty nine
years and some fraction. Examiner,

Flushed Jackson Creek.

The middle fork of Jackson creek
was Thoroughly flushed last Sunday. A
large body of water from the STANDARD
Company's bitches was turned in
early in the morning, and kept
running for couple of hours. The
channel was pretty we'll washed out
of rubbish and filth. 1t is under
stood that owing to the threatened
shortage of water, this is the only
cleansing the creek is likely to get
this season, unless something unusual
occurs to change conditions.

MINING NOTES.

Mello Gravel. George Ham brio and
TheU Crocker worked for several days
on the gravel claim of A. Mello, near
jackson Gate, with view of asoer-
tanning by actual mining whether the
claim would be likely to pay. After
prospecting in a small way tor week
or so, the results we're not sufficiently
encouraging to induce them to take
hold, and they stopped operations
early this week. The claim was work
cd over IN early days, and according
TO all reports PANIED out we'll.
Valpara $50. AT this mine they have
struck seam of black metal, about
three inches thick. They have been
following it for some time, and have
taken out considerable rock of this
characteTr. The ore is heavily i'm
pregnated with the precious metal.
1t has to undergo the roasting process
and thereafter ground in the usual
way. 1t is treated on the ground.
The five owners, who are working it
themselves, are we'll pleased at the
improved outlook.
Defender-t. b. Joyce was down
from the Defender mine yesterday
bringing with him the clean up for
the month, consisting of about Sl400
for run of twenty days, operating
one shift. This is exclusively of
sulphurets, of which there is large
quantity on hand, and also a carload
of high grade rock which has been
shipped to Selby's for treatment, the
ore not being Of the free milling

are pleased to state, better than at
any previous time, and stockholders
are jubilant over the bright prospects.

BALL GAME LAST SUNDAY
jackson Defeats Valley Springs.
Score to 2.

Last Sunday the Valley Springs
baseball team came over from that
town and received drubbing at the
hands of the local boys. Word had
been received here beforehand that
they we're coming over here loaded
with imported players, and intended
to win the game. The visitors we're
too confident of success as the score
readily shows. In the very first inn
ing to start the fireworks the Jack
son team piled up three runs in quick
order. The Spring boys certainly de-
serve a great amount OF credit for the
manner in which they held down the
locals, for they we're not able to make
another run during the rest of the
game. It was not until the sixth
inning that the Valley Spring boys
could get to home plate, though it
looked rather dubious couple of
times. In the ninth inning the
visitors started out to get couple of
runs and almost succeeded. They
did make one run, but they we're
shut off at that, so the score at the
end of the game stood 3 to 2 IN
favor of Jackson. The lineup:

the reputation of turning out the
classiest work of this kind, in the
San joaquin Valley. lie is a born

experience. All these things count
when it comes down to actual work
