BLOOD STAING POINT TO GRIME Evidencein an Old House Probably Explains Mystery. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 2.—The first tangible items of evidence of the supposed murder in the mystifying case of the missing Mrs. Powell were disclosed to re. ward the efforts of the searchers to-da In the deserted bed chamber of a some- what dilapidated cottage perhaps a quar- ter of a mile from the Powell home, Spe- cial Searcher Eppinger picked up a small soft felt Fedora hat, just such a piece of headwear as Mrs. Powell is said by her sister to have worn when she left t| house Thursday afternoon a- week ago, accompanied by the much-sought buyer | and seller of ‘poultry stock.

Sl e GRAND JURY CONDEMNS PRACTICE OF OFFICIALS | Justices and Constables in Fresno Criticized Because of Bills for Services. FRESNO, Dec. 21.—The Grand Jury em- bodied in its report to-day a severe criti- cism of several Justices and constables, | finding that in two townships the re-| spective officers are “holding the office for all they can make out of it.” Con- | demnation is also expressed for the “floater” system. In the fifth township | the jury finds that prisoners are conveyed to the County Jail by team, when the | | service could be as expeditiously per- | formed by rail at less than one-half the cost. In the same township out of 365 cases sentence had been suspended in 205, or in other words “floated” on to the next town for the next constable and Justice to enact the same farce over again. One hundred and sixty cases were com- mitted to the County Jail. No fines were collected in any of these cases, and under | the present law the cost to the county; would be over $2000. In the fourth town- | ship out of 501 cases looked into 418 were | either dismissed or ‘floaters” given. | From the remaining elghty-three $142 30 | ‘was collected in fines, and the constable and Justice charges would amount to ! | over $3000. The jury believes these prae- | | tices ‘are all wrong and that these bills should be cut down to a reasonable amount.

Goo THREE GOLD MEDALS PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION NUTRIT TEACHERS MAY MAKE GHANGES California Association Has Important Work in View. Special Dispatch to The Call PACIFIC GROVE, Dec. tions are about completed for convention of the California State Teach- ers’ Association, which will open here next Monday. A number of the promi- nent participants in the convention pro- gramme have already arrived and more are expected to-morrow and ~Sunday. Among those now on the ground are Su- perintendent Reginald Webster of San Francisco and Superintendent J. W. Me- Clymonds of Oakland. The coming convention is expected to be of extraordinary importance to educa- tion in California and for many reasons will be the most notable meeting ever held by the association. There is a movement on foot among some of the prominent members looking to the adop- tion of a new constitution with a view to making the association the center of edu- cational interest in the State. The new plan will, if carried, change the character of the association very ma- terially, doing away with its present somewhat temporary character and put- ting it upon a more permanent basis. The proposed_constitution will be formulated by the California Council of Education, which meets here just prior to the opeu- ing of the convention, and will probably | be presented to the convention on New | Year's day. It is believed by those best informed that the question will cause | debate and a lively time is expected, for | while the new idea is generally favored many members of the organization be- lieve it to be for the best interests of the assoclation that it retain its present char- acter. Two other points will make the conven- | tion a notfable one—the presence of three college presidents, Dr. E. Benjamin An- | drews of the University of Nebraska, Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University | of California_and Dr. David Starr Jordan of Stanford Universit, Betwegn 700 and 800 delegates are expected to attend the convention. > TUGBOAT CAPTAIN MUST | ANSWER FOR MANSLAUGHTER | Charge Made That His Failure to| Render Assistance Caused a Man’s Death.
