San Quentin is a disgrace to Cali
fornia and the United States. If only
percentage of the statements of re-
leased conyicts is true. it is the most
hideously iniquitous penal institution
in the civilized world. Prison reform
is a task for the American nation. 1t
is every whit as important as was the
abolition of slavery. And it must be-
gin in California.

PREFERS DEATH
 TO A CELL
Police Guard Accused Chicken Thief Who Would Turn Trousers Into Rope to Hang Himself With.

All day long the police have been forced to keep watch over Albert Rushmeyer, who was arrested last night with Jacob Sheirer for the theft of John M. Jackman's chickens early Sunday morning, fer fear that Rush meyer would try to do himself vio- lence Maintaining that he is inno- cent of any crime, he told Captain Arnold that he would never go to jail he would die first.
 The police paid little attention to h's threat. but when he was seen taking his belt off and looking about his cell. apparently for a place to attach it. it locked to them like business They took away the belt. He then took off his trousers and started to rip them. He was ordered to put them on and did so. He then took off his coat but did not attempt to do any thing with it. He paces back and forth in his cell constantly.
 The police have learned that Rush meyer has a poor reputation. He was with the Barnum & Bailey show for several years. A search of his home was to be made this afternoon by the detectives, who expect to find more loot Thirteen more chickens were re- covered this morning. from Sheirer's home and from a place where he had sold them. More tools belonging to Charles Richards were also founo this morning at the Sheirer home.

 Such colors as the wizard dyers have brought forward, are second only to those that Nature paints upon the woodland scenery.
 Here is the bloom of the grape and the elusive hue of the wild rose. Here is a dull green that hints at a. vista of the woods as the sun sinks low in the west. Here is the brighter green of the leaf before Jack Post has breath ed upon it.
