14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1902. - RELEASE HORDE OF PRISONERS Authorities Show Ab- surd Working of the Monday "Act. One Prisoner, Sentenced to Thirty Days, Serves Only Five. Another fllustration of the absurdity of | the act which came into effect Februgry 20, 1901, regarding the discharge of prison- ers from the county jails and| penal institutions generally on al Monday was shown yesterday morn- ing when forty-one men were Tre- leased from Branch County Jail No. 2, seventeen women from Branch County | Jail No. 3, five men from the County Jail on Broadway, about thirty convicts from San Quentin and a number from Folsom Penitentiary before their sentences had actually expired. | The act provides that all prisoners | “shall be discharged on a Monday regard- less of the day of the week upon which the term or time of confinement pre- scribed in the sentence or terminated by credits or commutations would otherwise expire, unless the Monday upon or pre- | ceding the day In the same week upon which the sentence or commutation would otherwise expire shall fall upon or precede within four days a legal holiday, in which. event such person shall be discharged | upon the first Monday- preceding - that'| wh will not be upon or be followed by | @ holiday within four days.” 7% | To show the working of the act the case of William Kelleher is taken as an ex- ample. Kelleher was sentenced by Judge Cabaniss on _August 20 to thirty days for | vagrancy. Under the Goodwin act he was | allowed five days for credits, reducing his | sentence to twenty-five days, which would | expire on September 14, a Sunday. Un- der the act of last year he should be dis- | charged the previous Monday, Sep!ember‘ %, but that day is followed by a holiday, | Admission day, September 9, consequently the time uld jump back to Monday, | September That is a holiday, Labor 1 therefore the time jumps back again | sterday, August 2, when under the Kelleher was discharged after serv- | ing five days of his sentence. the same thing will happen | Christmas and New Year's| and prison officials wonder when | legislators will see the necessity of re- pealing the act.

It is alleged further that Huntington and the other defendants built the San Joaquin Valley Railroad at a cost of $30,500, for which they acquired 20,000 shares of the par value of $100 each of the San Fran- cisco, Oakland .and Alameda Railroad Company. August 22, 1870, all these roads consoli- dated under the corporate name of the Central Pacific Railroad Company with a capital stock of one million shares of the par value of $100 each, aggregating in value $100,000,000, and that-the defendants received from the Central Pacific Rail- road *Company 509,940 shares of its capital stock of the par value of $50,994,000 in ex- change for an equal number of shares of capital stock of the corporations enter- ing in the articles of consolidation and that the total outstanding capital stock of the defendant corporation on said date immediately after the consolidation was 542,831 shares of the par value of $54,283,190.

I went to Napa.on Saturday, the 2d of August, with the Firsc Regiment of the Na: tional Guard of California from this city, on the 7 o'clock evening train.. Arrived there ! about 11 o'clock and remaifed with the regi- ment until it broke camp on the 10th of Au- gust,' and returned with it to the city. The camp ground had been selected and the tents pitched a few days before.the arrival of the regiment. This work was done under the direction - and- supervision of Captain Dohr- men, quartermaster of the regiment, and it was done well. /The tents were new,and of the drab colored ssue of the quartermaster. de- partment. The camp was a model in all its | appointments. The personnel of the command consisted of, veterans who fought in-the Phil- ippines and.about one-third recruits. Most of the officers had seen foreign service both in Cuba and the Philippines. ; During the early part of the week of en- campment both conduct, ‘diseipline “and drill exerclses were more or Jess lax, but:the end of the week showed a. declded improvement The bearing, conduct and discipline .of . th> cemmand on' Friday and, Saturday, compared to the same on the first and second day of en campment, was somewhat similar to the Gif- ference usually observed ‘between recruits and seasoned soldiers, v MILITARY EXERCISES. The military exercises consisted of batta'- fon drills_in_the morning,. both ' in ‘open and extended order; guard mount, dress parade ani reviews in the afternoon and battle maneuvers or sham battle on Saturday morning. The tactical problem to be solved was the attaci and defense of a position, the latter being a hill some 2000 yards from and. parallel to the rallroad track. = The approach to the hill was | without cover in open flelds with the flanks of | attack limited to 500 yards on flanks of posi- tion attacked. Both the attacking and defend. | ing forces, divided -in proportion to one to three, went over the ground on Friday morn- ing as a preparation for the next day's battla. Beveral thousand people viewed the perform. ance on Saturday. The execution of this prob- lem in minor tactics was a great success, | Much enthusiasm and ability were shown by the commanders, viz.: Major McCreagh of the defense and Major Filmer of the attack. I ex- ecuted a_similar problem a few weeks before on the Presidio reservation with the Second Battalion of the Third Infantry, and it was conceded that the executlon of the movements was_excellent. - That of the First Regiment ' in the battle at Napa was characterized with the like spirit and tactical ability. ' There was no perceptible difference in the two perform- ancee in regard to tactical excellence, Among the irregularities at first noticed may be men- tioned lack of promptness in assembling for military duties., talking in ranks during drill | and the frequent failures of the men to salute their officers, also of officers one another. These were pretty nearly corrected toward the | end of the week. » The men were armed with~ sifle, which were in good conditi the Springfield | on and service- 1 HL e the cient explanation in the minds of anxious family relatives. “Clarence was given the position at the ! college about six weeks ago,” said George W.

Everything ran smoothly and all of his accounts are in the best of condi- tion, so that possible reason for his dis- appearance is eliminated. “I do not think he has gone back to sea, for he did not care much for that life. He made several trips across the Pacific Ocean in the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company’s employ, but resigned be- cause the work was distasteful to him. Since his return home Clarence was out very little at night. Usually he was in the company of a cousin, Mr. Mahon, about his own age. My nephew can give us no information that will aid us in our search. “My greatest fear is - that Clarence might have met with an accident and is unable to tell about himself.
