The Commonwealth most heartily
agrees with the Aberdeen Examiner
In the following criticism of those in
control OF the penitentiary affairs Of
the State
1T is ridiculous to contemplate
the annual heavy purchases by those
IN control, OF tobacco for the use of
the thousand or more convicls on the
State farms, when we all know that.
half a dozen hands, who are not fit
for heavy work, can make an ample
supply OF the weed for the whole
gang. We have no doubt as to their
being many among the conyicts ia
millar with tobacco growing and
If not. a capable superintendent is
easily obtained, and a good tobacco
field on the State farms would sun
ply a much needed object lesson to
visiting farmers. There are thous-
ands OF Mississippians who use the
tobacco from their own patches-fne
tobacco too-and there is no reason
why the convicts should not make
their own supply"

YACHT Club HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Aeolians Lose Their Building
and Furniture Through
Explosion OF Torch
Chief Krauth and Three Ala
media Firemen Are Hurt
by Falling Walls

ALAMEDA, Nov. 5.-The Aeolian
yacht club house, which was located on
San Leandro bay near the Bay Farm
island drawbridge. was destroyed by
fire at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. -Four
firemen, including Chief Fred X. Krauth,
Assistant Chief Frank K. Millington.
Joseph Sweeny and Roy Cody, were
struck by sections of a falling wall
and narrowly escaped serious injuries.
Cody was rendered unconscious, be-
ing knocked from the floor of the club
house. which was. supported on piling.
to cross stringers just above the water.
Gus Wagner of hose company No. 1
rescued Cody from his dangerous plight
and carried him ashore in boat. Cody
was rushed to the emergency hospital.
where it was found that he was suf-
fering from brain concussion. Chief
Krauth sustained several bruises. AS
sfstant Chief MilHngton was hit on the
head and dazed and Sweeny had a large
nail driven into his hand
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a painters. torch, which had
been lighted and used by Arthur Chand-
Ter, member of the club, in the kitch-
en- OF the house to solder some fittings
for Il boat owned by Police Commits
sioner Louis Ward, also a member of
the Aeolian club. Chandler left the
torch burning while he went on board
the boat to put the fittings in place. A
minute after the explosion occurred the
clubhouse was ablaze-
Chandler and few other persons
who happened to be near rushed into
the burning structure and dragged out
10 small boats. while Walter Risley
turned in an alarm.
The fire department was handicapped
in fighting the blaze, as the nearest
hydrant was nearly 5000 feet away and
the only means of access was over a
high trestle.
The piling and flooring was saved,
but the clubhouse was destroyed. The
building was erected by the Aeolian
club less than a year ago and cost
about $4,000. The furniture and piano
were valued at $1,000. There was also
lot of yachting tackle burned Com
modore Carl Strom said that the club
carried $1,000 insurance. The club mem
bers had planned to hold a jinks In the

CALIFORNIA MARKET
OPENING OBSERVED
Rehabilitation of Burned Dis
trict Continues and Thou
sands Attend Celebration

Ten thousand eager San Franciscans,
folk that keep up the spirit OF the
San Francisco merchant surged
through the new California market in
Pine street, between Kearny and Mont
gomery, when it was formally
opened last night. 1t was another DEM
onstration of the great downtown
burned district below Kearny street
with live merchants. It was the largest
crowd that ever assembled under one
roof east of Kearny street since the
fire.
Under a single roof 25 merchants
have established trading places in the
rehabilitated market. The list of stalls
includes seven butcher shops. four res
taurants, three fruit stores, two poul-
try and game stores. two groceries, one
flower store, two fish stores. two butter
stores, one delicatessen store and a
cigar stand.
Merchants We'd with each other last
night to present the fastest appearing
stall. Hundreds of dressed fowl ar
ranged along the walls made pleasing
sight. Fancily dressed beeves and
sheep called forth the highest attain
ments in the butcher line The fruit
stores, filled. with a plenitude of large
and inviting orchard products artisti-
cally arranged. furnished an appetizing
sight
While the visitors thronged the mar
ket a band played popular airs.
Arrangements for the opening were
under the direction of George H Brown,
superintendent of the California Market
company.
Since the fire the California market
has been located in Golden Gate avenue,
near Fillmore street. The new market
was built at a cost of S150,000 and rep
resents the most modern achievements
in this line OF building.
