Potter Lumber Company's mills at Dr: Fork burned to-day. The loss is $50,000 It is certainly saying much when we declare we can satisfy any one with our shoes. This not only means satisfaction in quality, but also satisfaction in price, for we give our best exclusive styles in a good quality of leather, and guarantee a perfect fit, for $3.50. We stake our reputation upon the assertion that these shoes excel any price ever offered for so low a Protect All the PLOT, as daring and criminal as was ever concocted by a felon in stripes, has been exposed at San Quentin Prison. By the timely discovery of the plot the direc- tors of the prison will be able to save to the farmers of the State the jute bas output of the mills at the prison. Fals? affidavits made by alleged farmers and presented by different firms and corpor- ations who were supposed to act as agents for purchasers of grain bags, have been worked on the prison officials until certain firms in San Francisco carried and sold large guantities of prison bags for prices over 2 cents in advance of the prison selling price. A determined effort was made to corner the whole output of the mill for the fol- lowing year by these speculators, who took advantage of a loosely constructed law and sougat to effect the corner by simply filing applications for the purchase of bags in 2000 lots. Many of these appli- cations were made by bona fide farmers, but orders calling for the entire product of the mill put the directors upon their guard. The vestigation that followed showed that gross fraud existed among most of the applications. The directors have prepared the following circular ad- dressed to the grain producers of the State, setting forth their position and th2 law governing the sale of the bags: An unprecedented demand for grain bags manufactured at San Quentin Prison set in early during the present year before much ot the season’s crop was falrly in the ground. Realizing that the demands would speedily cover the entire output for the year the Prison Directors during the month of January, 1801 reduced the number of bags that would be sold to a single producer from 5000, the former limit, to 2000. But this did not’ serve as an efficient check. At least two months before an amcre of wheat was harvested orders had been filed for every bag on hand or to be manufactured up to September 15. Hundreds of Orders Declined. As a consequence hundreds of later orders, had to be declined, as there was no opportunity for filling them, and many farmers have been compelled to pay the high rates for grain bags exacted by those who controlled the market. At the same time the terms of .the somewhat Joosely drawn law regulating the sale of San Quentin grain bags does not seem to allow the Toard of Prison Directors any discretion as to the receipt of orders that are presented in a legal manner. The language of the statute is as follows: “Sectlon 1. It shall-be the duty of the State Board of Prison Directors from time.to time to fix the price and to give public notice of HBDUCTED WOMEN ARE STILL MLIVE IN egotiations With Brig- ands Are Progress-- ing Favorably. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 26.—Negotia- tions with the brigands from Melnik, in the province of Salonica, for the release of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American misstonary,~and her companion,. Madame Tsilka, are progressing favorably and the officials -here -houtly anticipate Important developments. G Miss Stone and her ‘corhpanion: were {.alive and well five days ago: .

In fact there has been no word irom Mr. Eddy and Consul Generel Dick- inson since yesterday morning, when their messages were of a negative char- acter, so far as news is concerned. Never- theless, the department is satisfied that its agents are acting with energy com- bined with prudence. Especially does it credit Mr. kKddy with a display of zeal in his_effort to relieve the condition of Miss Stone. NEW PACING RECORDS ESTABLISHED AT MEMPHIS Prince Alert Sets Up Fresh Figures for Geldings at Both a Half- Mile and a Mile. | MEMPHIS, Tenn:, Oct. 26.—The Mem- | phis Trotting Association’s fall meeting | ended to-day 'with two more world’s rec- ords to its credit.. The feature of the day’s card was the free-for-all-pace, best | two in three heats. In this event Prince | Alert, by Crown .Prince, and driven by | Curry,-made the world’s records.

Lake Objects to an Act of Her Hus- band. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Mrs. James R. S. Lake left her country home, Crest- lands, near Great Neck, L. I, because her husband had retained a servant whom she had dismissed. This latter was the cause of a violent aitercation betwéen Lake and Edward J. Ratcliffe, an actor, who had been his guest for about three vears. Mrs. Lake had not returned to her residence to-day, relterating the assertion she had prevluuslfr made that she would not go back until the woman-.to whom she objected had left the place. . ., At the time Mrs. Lake made her abrupt departure, in addition to several other uests, a friend was visiting_her, Mrs. ong of Pasadena, Cal. ‘When - her hostess left, Mrs. Long would have gone with her, but Mrs. Lake requested that she await her return, and this the guest is doin TS, New York, awalting the return of an at- torney, finishing the composition of a song. Several of her efforts have been published and have met with eucoess. he is not unknown as a magazine con- tributor and has translated several works from Spanish and French. _Bhe was the widow of Dr. Charles, Le- B | of the District Court ha Take is now employing her time 1n | Bona-Fide the same at which jute goods shall be sold by the State, but at.no time shall the price fixed be more than 1 cent per bag in excess of the net cost of producing the same, exclusive of prison labor. And it is made the duty of the State Prison authorities to confine the sale of jute goods to consumers direct, but no order shall be filled for any one individual or firm during any one year for more than 5000 grain bags except on request of the Warden and the unanimous approval of the State Board of Prison Directors. -‘Sec. 2 Demands for jute goods by con- sumers shall be promptly filled in the order in which they are made. But when the sup- Ply is short demands shall be registered at the prison In the order of their arrival and filled from the output of the jute mill in the order of their registration, provided that on and after the 15th day of June of each year by and with the consent of a majority of the Board of Prison Directors the Warden may fill orders for larger quantities to actual con- sumers as they may, in their judgment, deem expedlent; provided' that orders of farmers shall take precedence over all others: provided further, that 10 per cent of the purchase prica shall accompany each order and the remain- :Lgodgoruon must be pald upon delivery of the Affidavits Must Be Made. “Sec. 3. All orders for jute goods must be accompanled by an affidavit setting forth that the amount of orders contained in the or- der are for individual and personal use of the applicant, said affidavit to be subscribed and sworn to 'before some Notary Public, or by the Justice of the Peace residing in the township in which the applicant resides; provided that any applicant as heretofore provided for, who falsely and fraudulently procures jute goods under the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It seems perfectly clear that when legitimate orders for grain bags are presented within the limits fixed the prison authorities have no op- tion save to receive and flle the orders. But there is a question what may constitute a le- gitimate demand. For Instance, the board has received within the past month numerous or- ders for the ‘‘coming season.” There Is good ground for the suspicion that if these were accepted and reglstered every bag that can be manufactured up to September, 1902, would be immediately covered and the plain purpose of the law to protect the grain growers be utterly defeated. The statute does not provide for such a contingency, but it seems plain that it the orders can be placed now for grain bags for the season of 1902 there is no reason why the output of the San Quentin mill could not be tied up for the next ten years. The Board of Directors have- therefore di- rected the warden to return all orders for bags and checks accompanying them to the senders until further notice. The board has further determined to recefve no orders for grain bags prior to February 1, 1902, which is fixed as the opening of the bag vear. All orders that may be received will be opened on that date and will have a common standing as to res- land of San Francisco, and is a member of the Buckler family of Baltimore. Mrs. Lake denied a report that she contem- plated divorce proceedings, and insisted that she would return as soon as her or- der had been carried out, which, she added, would be soon. DENSE BLACK FOG SETTLES UPON LONDON Drivers of Vehicles Take Refuge Un- der Lamps and Fear to Travel the Streets. LONDON, Oct. 26.—West -and - Central London were enveloped to-night in a tlack fog which plunged the entire fash- fonable part of the city into impenetrable darkness. The fog found its way Into theaters and music halls until in many cases the stage was scarcely visible. Cabs took refuge under the lights of pub- lic houses, refusing to move, and scotes cf 'buses were abandoned arqund import- ant landmarks, their drivers not daring to_proceed. The scenes about the emptying. theaters were chaotic, the cries of the confused and - helpless people only adding to the confusion. Link boys ran about trying to lead fashionable equipages out of dan- ger, glving London a medieval appear- ance. Many accidents have already been regnrted from the Charing Cress and other hospitals. - THE DAY’S DEAD, * % John McKa; HALIFAX, N. 8., Oct. 26.—A telegram from St. Louis has announced to rela- tives here the death at Fernridge, Mo., yesterday of John McKay, the oarsman, who for three years, with Jake Gaudar, was_double-scull champion of the world McKay was born in Dartmouth, N.

PRISON DIRECTORS DISCOVER A PLOT TO CORNER JUTE BAGS Investigation of Applications Discloses Existence of Gross Frauds, Upon Which the Officials, Wil Take Prompt Measures to Grain Producers of the S-ate istration, but preference will be given to those from individual producers over orders that are presented by farmers through large firms and corporations, Orders May Be Scaled. In the event that orders so received exceed the output of the mill for the year, they will be scaled pro rata. It is hoped that this plan will give the farmers of the State a more even chance to secure supplies of San Quentin bags, and the courtesy of the press is solicited to glve it as wide publicity as possible so that there may be no misunderstanding on the part of grain growers. It will at least prevent the danger of an immediate covering of the output of the mill and the consequences certain to follow it. Any suggestion from farmers bearing on the question will be gratefully re- ceived by the San Quentin authorities, ‘When seen at his home to-night Di- rector James H. Wilkins said: There is no question but that fraud has been attempted. Advantage has been taken of a loosely drawn law and an effort has been made to effect a corner in the jute bag output of the prison. Last September the orders were so large that the board eoncluded to accept no orders until the grain was In the ground. According to one reading of the law there ls nothing to prevent filing of, applications for bags that would tie up the output of the mills for years to come. The board has had to act arbitrarily In the matter in order to protect the grain producers. No matter whether the bags went to the farmer or the speculators the State would lose nothing. The Intent of the law, however, aud the aim of the directors is to give *the grain producers the benefit of buying direct from the mill. I am eorry in one way that the affair is given publicity at this time as w= have taken steps that would have ultimately led to the detection of the gullty partles. At present while we are morally certaln of the Eullt ‘of purchasers we lack the necessary proof. I understand that the board has been threat- ened with mandamus proceedings to compel it to accept orders for bags in advance. If this is done the courts will pass upon the law and we will know where we stand. I do not think that this fraud has been practiced further back than the present year, that is, to any extent. Five Million Bags Yearly. The prison mill produces five million bags a year. This year the bags sold at the prison for $5.65 a hundred. Those bags that were cornered by means of bogus affidavits were sold to farmers who would have otherwise purchased them from the prison for $7.50 a hundred. Some hope is yet entertained that the guilty parties may be discovered. Every bale of bags that leaves the prison is num- bered and a record is kept of who receives it. In this way the ring of conspirators may be captured. (] KRUGER TRKES DUE PREGAUTION Former President Rides Behind Bullet-Proof Panels. Speclal - Dispatch to The Ca'l.
