Error in Supposed Position

VALLEJO. May 2.-Leutenant Com
mander A. s Haistead. L. s ". equip
ment ofscer at Mare island, has re-
eeived from Professor r H. Tucker. in
charge of the Lick observatory, re-
port OF the recent observations on the
difference of longitude between Mare
Island observatory and Lick observa-
found by the telegraphic method, the
observatories being Joined by West
ern Union wire. so that the clock on
Mare island and that at Mare island
registered its beats at Mount Hamil-
ton
The observations extended over four
nights, with exchange OF observers be-
tween Mare island and Lick observa-
tory. Professors Tucker and r. E.
Sanford of Lick observatory carried
ont the observations with the co-opera-
ton Of Professor T. J. J. See. L. s N.
in charge of the Mare island observa-
tory. The Western Union telegraph
company granted the government Off
Gals the free use of their lines for the
exchange OF the signals.
The result Of the investigation was
TO show that the Mare island observa-
tory is &c hundredths Of second
farther west than was previously sup
posed This new position OF the OBJ
servatory harmonizes all observations
perfectly.
Professor See, Z. S. N, the officer in
charge OF the observatory. is highly
pleased with the result of the longi-
tude determination He said:
Twenty-six hundredths OF a second
OF time corresponds TO three and nine
tenths seconds OF arc upon the earth s
equator. and in this latitude this is
equal 10 about 507 feet An error Of
this magnitude ins the position OF the
observatory is too large to leave un-
corrected. because nearly all the time
used on the Pacific coast comes from
the Mare island observatory
We are greatly indebted TO Director
". W. Campbell OF the Lick obserya-
tory and to Professors Tucker and
Sanford for taking the observations re-
Quired in this exact determination Of
our position. and to A h May, super
intendent OF the Western Union. for

transferred to the McAlester peniten-
tiary There thre sixty youths in the
Kansas penal institution sent from
Oklahoma, their ages ranging from 10
to II years. The recommendation that
the youthful prisoners be at once
moved to Oklahoma was made because
of the report of Kate Barnard, com
missioned of charities and corrections,
showing that the condition of Okla
homa prisoners in the Kansas pen'-
tentiary was not at all desirable nor
pleasing.
Probably one hundred prisoners
have already been moved from Lam
sing to McAlester. the prisoners being
taken from the Kansas institution in
alphabetical order. Because of the fact
that the hardships of the Kansas pris-
on tend to crush the spirit and body OF
the boys confined there, a special re-
quest probably will be made to Cover

cal withdrawal and allow all the young
prisoners to go at once.
