The tree is the gift to the juvenile society of Marion Burgess Hough of Hartford, 12 years of age, a lineal de- scendant in the eleventh generation from Governor Bradford of Mayflower fame; elso from Edward Winslow, the third Governor of Massachusetts, from John | Hayne, the first coionial Governor of Con- Decticut, also from Martha Pitkin, who, as a maid of 20, was known in tradition- ary lore as the ‘‘Connecticut catch” and who married S8imon Walcott, from whicn union sprang seven colonial governors. This tree, which is not a foct high, is from an acorn from a scion of the historic char- ter oak. That venerable tree in Bushnell Park was broken off seven feet above the ground by a gale in 1856. The little tree, which may be designated es the ‘‘grand- child of the parent tree,’’ was raised by the little girl who sent it, and it will be 1 year oid on the 5th of next month. “The historic trees that have been con- tributed by the chapters in the different Btates,” said Mrs. Hubbard, the registrar of the chiapter, “are & cypress from Pennsylvania —it is from_the Valley Forge campiog-ground and it will be planted as the keystone tree in the arch in soil from the Valley Forge trenches; from Paoli battlefield; from the birthplace of General Anthony Wayne; from tbe site of the home of Betsy Ross in Philadel- phia, where she made the first American flag; from the grave of Mollie Pitcher; from the site of Independence Hail; irom the grave of Ben- jamin Franklin and from other notable spots in the State. “From Delaware comes & red maple obtained at Belmont Hall, Smyrns, which during the Revolutionary War was tho home of Governor Thomas Collins, and the place where the Dela- ware Legislature met in 1777; also a white oak from old Cook farm, the ancestral home of John Cook, one of the presidents of the State: alsosoil from the grave of Elizabeta Cook, daughter of John Cook, who at the age of 14 rode many miles to assist the daughters of Governor’ Collins in casting bullets for the American soldiers. “From New.

WHY THE MILL RAN BEHIND The San Quentin Factory as a Victim of Free Trade. Governor Budd's Criticisms Arouse the Ire of the Superintendent, A TARIFF OBJECT LESSON. Even Convict Labor Cannot Stand the Stress of Cheap Cooly Competition. The criticisms of Governor Budd upon the output of the jute mills at San Quen- tin bas aroused the ire of Superintendent John Rutherford. He says that the mill is doing as well as can be expected, and were the old duty on grain bags again in force the mill would once more become a paying institution. Formerly there was a duty of 13 cents on each grainbag that came into this port. San Quentin made bags were then selling for 42-10 cents, or 12-10 cents over the cost of the jute that was used in their manufacture. The duty kept out foreign bags, and the supply and demand were well adjusted. But when the Wilson tariff bill passed and the protecting 13{ cents was taken from foreign bags Caicutta immediately began to flood the market. Indian grain bags came over by the million, the market was overstocked, prices wenJ every way, and not being able to sell its ontput, the San Quintin mill had to face the alterna- tive of adding to its stock on hand or par- tially closing down. Then it was, says Mr. Rutherford, we decided to introduce the manufacture of sugar bags as well as grain bags. These are of a much finer texture and much more caro is necessary in the work, there- fore the ouiput became smaller in “yard- age,” {for the finer the work the smaller the result. For the six months ending June, 1896, the superintendent says the consumption of jute was greater than that of the corresponding period in 1895, al- thongh the output was apparently less. “It was the tariff, or the need of it, that caused the trouble,” said the superintend- ent yesterday, ‘‘just as it has closed the Oakland jute mills and is closing the cot- | ton and woolen mils.” The import of bags from India, he says, These are all sold at the same price as the home-made bags, and the market is just that much over- stocked. With burlap, the cloth for mak- ing bags, the Indian article is sold here at nearly half of what it can be made for by home factories. Asa result the manufac- ture of burlap at the San Quentin mill has stopped altogether, except when some spe- cial order comes in. Therefore it is the Democratic tariff sys- tem and not loose management, the superintendent claims, which causes the results of the convict mill to fall below the Governos’s expectations. Rutherford was for seventeen years in the Planet mills of Brooklyn, N. Y., then one of the largest mills in the East, and has an inter- est in cotton-mills out here. He says con- vict labor 18 not cheap, for the men do not do one-third the work of a free man. Be- sides, of the few convicts tbat hLe could call “skilled” the greater number have been drafted to work on the Tiburon road. He has no fear of his head being “lopped off,” for he took the position for only a year, and his term will expire next month. He says since the mill was run- ning it has forced the price of grain bags to the farmer from 8 and 9 cents to 41-5, while in the meantime jute has gone down something over 1 cent. With the tariff, he says, the mill is all right. Without the tariff even a convict mill will not pay. ASSESSMENT FIGURE Auditor Broderick: Turned the As; ment-Rolls Over to Assessor Siebe Yesterday.

It Is Alleged That He Used His Office for Illegal Purposes. DEVINE UNDER INVESTIGATION The Ex-Customs Inspector Is Said to Have Extorted Money From Chinese, The United States Grand Jury cgnsumed nearly two hours yesterday in investigat- ing serious charges that have been made ageinst Captain A. F. Dickson, United States Commissioner of Deeds for Sierra County. . It is alleged that Dickson, under cover of his office, has been charging and secur- ing larger fees than the law provides. The sharp practice, it is claimed, has been go- ing on for some time,though just the amount thus illegally obtained by the Commissioner has not yet been deter- mined. It is said, however, to run well into the hundreds. Seven witnesses from Plumas, Lassen and Sierra counties were examined yester- day, and they all to{d a wonderfully con- wistent story of Dickson’s shortcomings. The principal witness against the accusea official is William Peck, Registrar of Lands, with headquarters at Susanville. He said yesterday that he had abundant evidence to prove the peculiar methods practiced by the Commissioner of Deeds. Captain Dickson is one of the most prominent citizens of Sierra County. Six years ago he was appointed by Judge Mc- Kenna to the position of Commissioner of Deeds, which position it is now claimed he has misused. The Grand Jury also considered seri- ous charges against ex-Customs In- spector Gus Divine. Ii is alleged that in the month of April last Divine repre sented to one Quong Ah Him, who then resided in Auburp, Placer County, that he was still in the service and vested with all the powers which generally go with an Inspector of Customs. It is said that Divine exercised this sup- posed authority to the extent of seizing ten tins of unstamped opium found in Quong Ah Him’s place. The ex-In- spector then offered, it is claimed, to re- tnrn the opium on payment of $30, which sum he is said to have received. Other instances similar to the one already re- lated will, it is said, be presented to the Grand Jury for consideration. Yesterday a number of subpenas were issued for sev- eral witnesses who are expected to testify against Divine. Wong Sam, who figured so prominently in the Williams case, will probably be an important witness for the Government. Judge Fulweiler of Auburn was among the witnesses examined. The Grand Jury stponed action in this as well a3 in the ckson case, though it is generally be- lieved that indictments will be returned egeinst both. LET THE JURORS GO, Judge Daingerfield Discharges the Panel Thadt Tried the Quill Case. Their Time Had Expired and He Eantertains No Charges of Malteasance. The entire panel of jurors that has been serving in civil cases in Judge Dainger- field’s court was on Monday dismissed. His Honor, in excusing them, remarked that the charges in the Quill case had nothing to do with his action, but that their time was up a week ago. Judge Daingerfield said; in part:- “I desire to make a statement to such jurors as are present in the courtroom re- lating to the expiration of their term of service. You are doubtless aware, gentle- men, that there have been certain un- pleasant things said and done in regard to your panel, end it happens, by an unfor- tunate coincidence, thut we had in con- templation the discharge of the panel be- cause of the ordinary service of time, Just at this juncture we were waiting fur a court day, or for elbow-room in the calen- dar whereby we could give the Sheriff time 10 summon & nNew venire. “In taking leave of you, gentlemen, there is grave danger, unless I make these remarks, that the community may have a false impression that I am discharging you because of some dissatisfaction, I desire to state here that suchis not the case. The fact that you are discharged and that your services have terminated in due course, following so soon upon the unpleasant developments of the past week and of the week before vacation, mignt make people think, unless I rebut the pre- sumption by these remarks, that I had some prejudgment in the matter, I desire to disclaim any opinion ugon the unpleas- ant charges ore way or the other, and in terminating your services I desire to express my pleasure and satisfaction at the general tenor of your verdicts and at the mode in which you have discharged your duties.” ——————— . < FHER BABE A SKELETON. Mrs. Mary Fleming Arrested With Her Neglected Child of Three Months. Mrs. Mary Fleming was arrested yester- day at 86414 Mission street by Officer Hol- brook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mrs. Fleming had with her a three-months-old child when she was arrested, a puny little thing, not much more than skin and bones, who, notwithstanding her age, hardly weighs 10 pounds. A few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Fleming came into an inheritance of about $800, and since that time they have both been drinking and their little child has been badly neglected. The neighbors bave complained. ‘When Officer Holbrook arrived at 86414 Mission street yesterday Mrs, Fleming seemed to be on the edge of delirium tremens. She was also suffering badly and complained that her husband had choked her and hurt her back. Mrs. Fleming was taken to the Central ice station and booked for cruelty to children. ——————— THE KLAMATH SURVEY. Commissioners Have Named Harry Brady as Their Secretary. The commissioners recently appointed by President Cleveland to determine the boundaries of the Klamath reservation have appointed Harry Brady of the Bo- hemian Club as secretary. Major R. P. Hammond, the commissioner from this State, and Mr. Coleman from Missouri will leave here to-morrow to join the com- missioner from Oregon. It will require about six weeks before the work will be completed.” - SPORTING MEN IN SESSION. Lovers of Boxing and Baseball Form a Protective Association. A very enthusiastic meeting of athletes assembled Monday evening at the South End Boating Club for the purpose of organ- izing a protective association in the inter- est of legitimate sport, such as outdoor athletics, boxing, baseball, bicyciing, ete. The rules of the association, as have been adopted, are similar to the rules of the Sportsmen’s Association of London, Eng- land, whose influence is felt among the politicians of that country. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: Robert MacArthur, president; J. J. Groom, vice-president; George T. éreen, secretary: James R. McElroy, treasurer; H. M. Collins, assistant secretary. The following lovers of true athleticsport have signed the roll of membership: A. M. Collins, C. T. Kreling, F. Duplissea, H. Bode, W. G. Redding, M. Breen, A.

The officers of the association will con- vene aguin on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock, over J. H. Martin’s office, Stock- ton ‘and O’Farrell streets, when further matters of importance will be transacted. — WANT THE FEE RETURNED. Executors of the Miranda Lux Estate Claim They Were Overcharged. Another suit has been filed in conse- auence of the alleged overcharge made by the County Clerk for filing an inventory. Yesterday the executors of the will of Miranda Lux made complaint that $300 had been charged for filing the inventory of the estate, and they sued the City and County for $770, which is the amount said to have been paid in excess of what is le- gally due. ‘The $800 charged by Mr. Curry was de- manded under section 163 of the county government aci, approved March 24, 1893, which act, the plaintiffs contend, does not apply in their case, as the proceed- ings were begun before the act went into effect. Argument as to the fee in the Eisen es- tate was heard by Judge Coffey. The at- torney in that case also claims to have been overchaged by the County Clerk. The matter was not finished but will be argued further. ter Lux, C. ————————— The Error Was on Rodgers. * Joseph Thomas, & painter, met J.
