pieces of the Prescott Journal Miner.

compelled the observer to acknowledge
that although California prides herself
on the beauty of her young women it
would be a difficult task to select a
coterie of girls more pleasing in looks
and in manner than Arizona has sent
here
The young women are travelling I'M
der the chaperonage of Mrs. J. w.
Mines, the wife of the proprietor of
the Miner. Little Marjorie

complishment marks her as one of the
most popular girls in Arizona. Miss
Eva French is also from Prescott. Miss
Alice Stivers halls from Jerome, Miss
Josie Zanetta from Wickenburg. Miss
Grace Downs from Winslow and Miss
Matte Price from Meyer.
HAVING MERRY TINE
A few days were spent at Los An
geles at the beginning of the itinerary.
Yesterday morning the merry little
band reached this city and immedi-
ately went to the St. Francis. where
the most pleasant apartments in the
big hosiery were set aside for them.
without loss of time, for their plans
admit of only two days in this city.
Mrs. Mines had her charges speeding
through the city, seeing the wonders
in the newly reconstructed districts
of San Francisco, the continuous chain
OF residence in the Western addition,
the glories of Golden Gate park and
the waves dashing against Seal rocks
an the ocean.
Naturally the big department stores.
with all the fripperies and fineries dear
to the feminine heart, attracted the at
tention of the young women. All of
the large stores were visited and

BRADBURY MUST
SERVE Ills TERM
Eccentric Millionaire Is Denied
a Rehearing by the SUI
preme Court

Millionaire William B. Bradbury of
Corte MADEIRA. Marin county, convicted
in the superior court of that county of
the crime of perjury. which was up
held by the supreme court, will begin
to serve his sentence of one year in
San Quentin today. His. last hope. a
rehearing by the supreme court, was
denied by that tribunal yesterday. The
court wrote no decision. Only the words
rehearing denied
Shortly after the denial of the pc
tition, Attorney Charles Fairall who
wrote the briefs in the petition for the
rehearing, appeared at the office of
the clerk of the court and requested
that the usual time for the handing
down Of the remittitur. midnight of
the day of the decision. be adhered to-.
He then made inquiries as to where he
could reach either Governor Giilett or
Lieutenant Governor Porter. Fairall
refused to say whether or not he would
apply TO the governor for pardon.
The governor is powerless to issue a
pardon until Bradbury has served a
portion of his sentence.
Bradbury. who is the owner of con-
siderable property in Marin county and
San Francisco, was found guilty of
perjury in San Rafael more than a year
ago. lie 0tfU d trust uteQ " property
owned by James r. McCue. to whom he
had advanced $1,000. McCue sought to
raise the necessary money to repay
Bradbury but. preferring the property.
Bradbury asked the officials of the
Marin county bank not to give McCue
the money on the witness stand Brad
bury sworei that he had not told the
Marin county bank" not to assist Nc
Cue.
Bradbury was indicted, tried and con-
victed of perjury and sentenced to one
year in San Quentin. He appealed to
the appellate court and that tribunal
reversed the superior court, holding
that an individual could not tell a
bank" because the word tell was used
where the court believed the word
notify should have been employed.
The case was taken from the appel
late court to the supreme court and
that court found that the Indictment
was obnoxious in that it was not spe-
cific. but held that Bradbury had not
pressed this point. However, on other
points. the superior court was upheld
and Bradbury was allowed 80 days in
which to file the application for a re-
hearing which was denied yesterday.

Already $4,000 on Hand

I'VE have already received more than
$4,000 and have not yet heard from
one large firm in San Francisco" said
P. T. Clay, of the executive committee
of the Portola festival. in speaking be-
fore the Rotary club at its monthly
banquet at the Hotel Stewart last
night. IF the way the funds have
poured in up to date" he continued,
lis an example of what is to come, the
festival will be one or the greatest
affairs ever witnessed in this CITY,"
The Portola festival was the subject
before the Rotary club last night, and
the enthusiasm shown by those pres
ent was only a small demonstration of
how they really felt. P. T. Clay of the
executive committee of the festival was
the speaker of the evening. He de-
voted considerable OF his speech to the
program OF the festival preparations
from its inception, telling how it was
first planned to have only a celebra-
ton of medium proportions, and how
in a few weeks, it became necessary to
employ large force of clerks to
handle the vast amount of inquiries
that kept pouring in, and how from
the simple idea of having several of the
Pacific fleet in the harbor during festi-
val week the plan of entertaining the
navies of the world was successfully
1 launched.
Clay spoke for several minutes on
the Importance of the presence of the
many ships of foreign navies in San
Francisco bay, and drew vivid pic
ture of the grand pageant OF the pro-
posed naval parade. He touched upon
the prominent men VINO will be in San
Francisco during the time of the fes-
tival, and said that already orders had
4 begun to pour in upon the hotel pro-
! prietors for reservations during the

NEW DISCIPLINE
FOR FAIR NURSES
Students at st. Francis Hospital
to Face Frigid Bostonian
Rules Monday
Institution Will Employ a Man
as Superintendent and AM
other Woman as Trainer

Bostonian discipline, conscientious,
frigid and exact, hangs like pail over
the SO young nurses in training at the
st. Francis hospital California ideas
rebel at the thought in SO distinct in
stances. And there are resentful lines
faces.
The new regime will begin Monday.
1t comes suddenly, although Dr. John,
Gallwey, president of the directors,
says it has been under contemplation
for year or more. To the student
nurses, at any rate, the change is rad
ical. 1t is also a change to be de-
plored by the suffrage league, for the
board has decided that what the hos
pital needs is a man. With the new
hospital to be begun soon at Bush
and Hyde streets the board believes il
needs man superintendent. The new
building will have double the capacity
of the old Sabin mansion in California
street near Devisadero, which has only
IS beds. The present superintendent,
Miss Stella Montague, who has been
with the hospital since it was founded
the August before the fire, is going to
step out. As she will not step down
to be the mere head of the training
school, now also in her charge, she
leaves. The new. male superintendent
has not yet been named, but Miss
Elizabeth Jamison of Boston takes
charge of the school for nurses Mon
day.

NEW CHIEF MORE AUsTERE

Miss Jamison. incidentally, does not
come as a stranger. She substituted
for three months a year ago last
spring while Miss Montague was on
vacation.
Californians don't understand the
Boston idea They admit it. Miss
Montague clasps her pupils across the
shoulder and listens TO their troubles
Miss Jamison, tall and impressive, does
not condescend to such familiarity
which may, in view of the impression
able nature of western young persons
who have not been taught to maintain
a proper respect and consideration for
authority, tend to react upon the dis
culinary functions of the nurses train
ing school.
So the student nurses have more
than mere bunch that they are not
going to enjoy privileges in the hos
pital which went with the good old
days that end Monday.
That is why Bostonian discipline
hangs like pail over the 30 young
nurses in training at the st. Francis
hospital.

LOVED .BY STUDENTS


Miss Montague comes originally from
Australia and is thoroughly imbued
with the California spirit She is the
teacher. And the students love their
teacher. There are no grabbed rules
to comply with under her regime, al
though she is said to keep her charges
up to the standard, and something be-
sides, in their work.
1T is radical change in policy
said Doctor Gallwey yesterday. We
have found Miss Montague an admir-
able superintendent. She has ability
of high order, and we dislike to
make the change. But we have decided
that the head of the hospital should
be a man. So Miss Montague leaves
the hospital with our sincere regrets.
There is no doubt that Miss Mon
tague is idolized by her pupils. Under
her are three head nurses. who act as
instructors of the So. The assistants
are Miss Ryan. Miss Robinson and
Miss VerIeger. who leave with their
superior. In their place are three new
head nurses. imported by Miss Jamison
from Boston.

II believe the northwest will har-

previous years, said Mr.. Hill, "but
the statement that bumper crop is
expected is far from true. We Will

for thirty years, is becoming impov-
erished, and it will be necessary to
perfect new methods of farming be-
fore the northwestern states can
move forward at the same speed of
the previous decade.
II have often been criticised for
spending money to import live stock
with which to improve the breed in
northwestern cattle, but believe the
farmers are beginning to see the ad-
yantages of that procedure. A friend
of mine from Meeker county was in
a couple of days ago. He said that
county would have a million bushels
of wheat for sale this year. That
may be true, but the tnirty-one or
thirty-two creameries in that coun-
ty will bring in more money. The
milk sold to the creameries means
only part of the earnings of cattle.
The skinned milh is fed to pigs and
other live stock, which is always in
creasing in value. And it is also
true that any feed given to stock re"
turns one-third of it's value to the
land as fertilizer
