JACKSON STATES
HIS OPINION ON
COUNTY EXPENSE

This increasing cost of county
government has been getting under
the skin of Henry jackson, chair
man of the board of supervisors.
and yesterday afternoon the north
representative decided the thing
has gone far enough as far as he
is concerned. giving anyone who
cared to listen a thorough under
standing of just what stand he is
taking.
The chairman took his stand dur
ing a discussion with DR.. Warren
F. Fox, county public health Of
ficer about complaints which had
been registered earlier in the day
by E. A. Glass, Acacia school trus-
tee. Glass had complained of the
expense made necessary by sanitary
measures recommended by the
health department.
DR.. Fox did not recall the Acacia
school matter, but told the super
visors of conditions he has found
at some schools. mentioning that
school children in many instances
must drink from highly unsanitary
fountains.
Jackson took the occasion to un-
burden himself of a general dis
course or county expenses.
He would favor placing an old
fashioned ola at the schools, the
chairman said, with a spigot on it,
and giving each pupil a separate
cup. if expenses could be reduced
in this way.
He has been on the board of
supervisors for seven years, Jack
son continued. and every time the
board has attempted to cut ex-
penSeS some one has appeared to
show where more money must be
spent, so that saving in one de-
partment is balanced by expendi-
lures in another.
I'm tired of it." he declared
AS far as I'm concerned will vote
to absolutely deny any demands
that aren't positively necessary"
The stand of the chairman re-
fleets the general attitude of the
shown in recent action
toward securing the cooperation of
all county and school heads in
expenses.

STATE PRISONS

RIVERSIDE, Calf, May 3.-U.H
"A move to survey California pris-
ons as a means Of preventing fu-
ture riots and disorders, was
launched today by a committee on
prison study, reporting to 1900 del
egates to the California Conference
on Social Work.
An appropriation at the next
state legislature to finance an eX-
tensive survey of all penal institu-
tionS III the state, was asked by
the committte, headed by Reuben
B. Resnick, executive secretary of
the Jewish Committee for Personal
Service in state institutions.
A scientific study of conditions,
with recommendations for better
ing the prison situation will be
made, Resnick said.
Resnick said that if the state
legislature did not make the ne
csssary appropriation he had been
virtually assured that private fin
ancing would enable the study to
be made.
Chester Rowell, California public
cist, consented to act as chairman
of the lay committee to promote
the survey. Other members of the
lay committee included Bert B.
Meek. commissioner of state de-
partment of public works, Paul
Bern, motion picture executive, and
Col. C. G. Thompson, superinten-

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK. May 3. (U.PA - Oil
shares held steady to firm on the
stock exchange today in contrast
with the general market which met
further liquidation and pentrated
previous bear market lows.
Buying in the oils was helped by
prospects of an international agree
ment on curtailment. Three repre-
sentatives of the Soviet arrived to-
day to participate in the negotia-
tons. Russia is now in second
place in the list of world petroleum
producers, its output for the first
quarter of 1892 being 430 barrels
daily, an increase Of rs per cent
over the corresponding period of
1881. United States production in
the first quarter averaged 2,165 900
barrels daily, according to World
Petroleum.
Today the Oil and Gas Journal
estimated daily output of crude
in the United States down more
than $4,000 barrels daily in the
week ended April 30. This also was
a factor in the oil shares holding
firm as was firmer market for
gasoline Standard of New Jersey,
Royal Dutch. Standard of Cali
fornia and Ohio Oil made gains.
Steel common held through most
of the day above its low for the
bear market yesterday, but the
preferred dipped to a new low since
1904 at 70l2, off 25s.
American Telephone held above
its low but Western Union made
a new low at %, off 2l2, still in
fluenced by the prospect of high
tax on kilograms over SO cents.
Manhattan transit re-
acted more than a point in the
traction shares. Consolidated Gas
eased off, but held above its low
made yesterday.
Leading railroad shares were
again driven down. Atchison made
a new low for this century at 35 Is,
off Il, and Pennsylvania made a
record low at 351s, off H.; the
Van Sweringen issues were de-
pressed, Nickel Plate dropping to
a new low at 2, off q, from the
previous close; Union Pacific
48, off l, and later re-
gained all the loss.

dition. Mrs. Merle Crandall report
ed on the work of the Ladies Aid

increase in Sunday school attend
ance, John King on the work of
the missionary society. Financial

INTERRUPTION In
HENDRIX HEARING

When attorneys finally begin the
task of presenting evidence in the
trial of Andrew l.. Hendrix on a
charge of numbering w. H. Mccoy
north of Holtville last January 10.
Clarence B. Smith and Fred
Thompson, defense counsel, will
strain every effort to raise in the
mind of the jurors a reasonable
doubt as to the guilt of the pris-
oner.
This was clearly shown yesterday
afternoon in the questions fired at
prospective jurors by the defense.
Neither the state nor the defense
was satisfied with the jury at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
the task of choosing u persons to
try Hendrix will continue tomorrow
morning. after today's holiday
d. H. Wolford, chief criminal
deputy district attorney, was vic
torious in a court room clash with
Fred Thompson late yesterday
when Judge Vaughn N. Thompson
sustained an objection to the line
OF questioning adopted by the at
torney relative to matrimonial trou-
bles of Luther Shelton, an import
ant figure in the trial, who named
Hendrix in a $4,000 alienation of
affection suit
Thompson was questioning one
juror regarding his attitude toward
a man who would not only "covet
his neighbor's wife" but would go
forther and carry out his desires,
when Wolford objected on the
grounds this supposition can never
be proved during this trial, and
that the line of questioning was
to Influence the jury. The
court sustained the objection.
Thompson then asked for a re-
cess, but the judge summarily in
formed him it was mot necessary.
Continue with the question:
The attorney then continued to
question the juror regarding his
belief in the right of self defense,
and whether he would return a
verdict of guilty if he believed Nc
Coy died from natural causes, such
as a disease which might result in
sudden death, or shock, or fright,
or other causes.
The questions seemed to indicate
defense attorneys will argue not

Houses under construction in r.
perial Valley were an object of
suspicion to naturally suspicious
officers today, after burglary was
reported to the sheriff's office last
night by those in charge of the

the nature of the loot taken from
