Unknown's Body, Though Filled
With Stones, Floats in Bay

OAKLAND. June 19-With the
pockets filed with rocks and %
pound stone tied with heavy cord to
the waist. the remains of an unidenti-
fed man drifted to the Key Route pier
this morning and were recovered by
George Wildly, track repairer who
lives at 1913 Center street
Wildly was walking out the trestle-
work of the pier when he espied the
body floating on the tide Procuring
boat he made the corpse fast to a
pile and summoned the coroner The
body was lifted from the water with
difficulty owing to the rocks with
which the man had weighted himself
before plunging into the bay
The body had drifted for about 10
days, as was indicated by its condi-
ton.
Owing to the condition of the fea-
lures Identification seems improbable.
Everything that might have led to
identification had been removed from
the clothing. The man was about IS
years old, $50 pounds in weight. feet
9 inches tall and was clad in cheap
clothing. He wore white underwear.
a blue shirt white collar size IA. dark

JOHN CLAUDIANES
SET AT LIBERTY
Judge Wood Makes Expected
Order in Case of the Dyna-
miter's Brother

OAKLAND. June 1s-John Claudi-
anes was set free today by Judge
Wood, who dismissed the indictment
that was returned nearly year ago
charging him with completely in the
Gallagher dynamiting outrages- The
decision Of the court was not sur
prise. having been intimated yester-
day and coming at the request Of Dis
trict Attorney Donahue of Alameda
county and District Attorney Langdon
of San Francisco. Both declared that
the evidence against John Claudianes
was insufficient to secure conviction
In discharging Claudianes from Gus
tody Judge Wood declared that he had
read last night all the evidence taken
before the grand jury when he was IN
dicted. and was convinced that there
was not enough to hold him.
I would even have dismissed the
charge if habeas corpus proceedings
had been instituted" said the court.
The proceedings took only a few
minutes. John Claudianes was dressed
in his best clothes, was clean shaved
and ready TO depart when he came into
the courtroom.
His brother is serving life sentence
in San Quentin as a result of his crime
Felix Paudevaris. the instigator of the
crime. who was a benchman of Abe
Ruef, disappeared shortly after the
dynamiting, a year ago, and has not
been heard of since The first dyna-
hitting was that of the Schenck home in
East Oakland, where Gallagher was al
the time Shortly after houses in
Adams point belonging to Gallagher
were blown up. John Claudianes con-
fessed first and gave information lead
ing TO the arrest and conviction of his
brother

SAVES FRUIT FROM
TIE DREAD MILOtW
Prof. w. II. Volck OF University
Solves Problem Which Trou-
bIed Pajaro Growers

BERKELEY, June 19.-The apple
powdery mildew which has been a
cause of great loss to the apple grow
ers of the Pajaro valley and other sec
tons of the state, has been success
fully combated by the university au-
thorities. All danger of great fruit
losses from this source has heen OBJ
waited, according to a bulletin issued
from the university today by Prof. w.
II. Volek OF the faculty of the univer-
sity who is also entomologist for
Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.
After four years experimentation
Professor Volck has discovered that
iron sulphide, lime sulphur and other
mixtures, especially the former, would
rid the apple leaf of the dread mil
dew and save the crops.
The bulletin in part says:
The iron sulphide sprayings as in
dicated will effect a practical control
of the mildew under Pajaro valley con-
ditions. and in all probability in other
localities. The trees will not be en-
tirely free from the disease, but it will
be held in check to sufficient extent
to allow the development of healthy
foliage.
Among the results there may appear
certain undesirable ones such as have
already been mentioned. The she'd
ding of some of the young fruit may
occur, but our experience would indi-
cate not to a serious extent if the
sprayings are applied with sufficient
regularity. Falling of the foliage will
only occur where the applications are
delayed too late or are very irregular
The woody aphis may incease to
greater extent upon the sprayed trees
than on the checks, and may in some
cases require the use of additional
measures to subject this insect
Among the secondary desirable re-
suits may be mentioned the probable
control of the apple scab and partial
control of San Jose and greedy scale
