STATE FACTORY PROFITS

to the faGf that the state prison at

the installation of its furniture factory

ton Of it's jute mill, since the prison
estimates recently received omit all
claims for the item of support for

biennial period, which will close next
June. The saving of a new appropria-
tion of S450,0O0 will be made, Nye be
lieves, from the profits of the factory,
which sells its product to state insti-
tutions only. This and the more pros
porous condition of the jute bag busi-

special fund which has been collected
from the sale of jute bags, amounted
to $2S3, ,906.94 on October 1. This is a

JUSTICE MAyF|ElO ISSUES
WARRANT AGAINST EDITOR

Justice Maytield yesterday issued 4
warrant which was served on the edi
tor of the Press this morning and un-
der which a hearing will be held this
evening.
In June. 1911. when the present pub
fishers of the Press purchased the
paper, among the employees of the
PAPER was Melville E. Moody, a boy
about Il years old. son of Mr.. and Mrs
c. NJ. Moody.
One Of the first things the new man
\grossly abused and employees of this
paper told of the boy having exhibited
his back, on which were great black
welts. which he alleged to have been
caused by a whipping administered by
his father.
It was further learned that the boy
had a sister in San Diego to whom he
was anxious to go. that he might es
cape the brutal treatment he claimed
to have received at home and TO which
the ugly marks On his body appeared
to give credence.
There was a young man employed as
bookkeeper on the Press by the name
Of Slade. and it was learned that Slade
was arranging to help the boy get TO
his sister.
All the circumstances seemed to show
that Slade was performing an act of
charity, but having so recently come
TO the city, the manager of the Press
participation in the affair, and kept
his hands out of it. Mrs. Slade was
going to San Diego and accompanied
the boy to that city and delivered him
tc his sister, Mr.. Slade receiving a let
ter later expressing gratitude for the
act of helping the boy escape the abuse
which he was said to have suffered in
his home.
Moody, the father, from the first
laid the blame for the affair on the
Lew manager of the Press. and he
sought to get a warrant for the arreSf
of the manager. The district attorneys
office investigated the affair and re-
fused to issue warrant More than
a year went by. and about a week ago
Moody made another effort to get the
warrant The district attorneys office
n gain investigated the case, and again
reported TO Moody that there was no
ground on which to issue the warrant,
refusing to do so.
Moody then went to Justice Mayfeld
and the latter, without attempting to
learn the facts on the other side Of
the case, issued the warrant.
II is probably a good thing for the
community that the facts in the case
be brought out, and the manager OF
the Press may serve as an instrum ent
to that end, even though in no sense
a party to the work of sending the boy
to his sister.
All the manager of the Press knows
is hearsay, except that the boy told
him the story of brutal treatment at
home, as he had told it to others, and
to have the facts laid before the pub
lie may have a wholesome effect on
the community, where brutality 20
children can hardly meet with com
mendation.

Il do not think there is the least
doubt if the Balkan states and Greece
win in this war, they will have to
fight Austria to hold the fruits of

defeat Turkey, l think Austria will
not give them much trouble, especially
as the Csech and Magyars of Hun
gary will give Vienna but question
able support, if any But such an
event would tend to precipitate a gem
eral conflict. For instance, what as
surances has Russia given that she is
actually supporting her protege, Bull
garia, with an eye on a protectorate
over Constantinople and the Darda
nelles and benevolent occupation of
the Bosporus, similar in effect and
usefulness of that of the English oc-
cupation Of Egypt? NJ. Sananoff will
hardly answer that question. In fact
his reluctance to do so, the reluctance
Of the European powers to pledge
tn ems elves in advance, is evidenced by
the one practical answer, the mobil
Zation now going on, on the Hungar

are hoping to limit the zone of trouble,
