PRISON BOARD Numerous Changes Are Made at San Quentin Penitentiary. Some Offices Abolished and Improvements Are Discussed. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Sept. 12— At the meeting of the Statg Board of Prison Directors to-day considerable business was transacted. No paroles were granted, owing to there not being a full board present. Many applications for parole, however, were brought up for discussion and grominent attorpeys made arguments in favor of their respective clients. Various offices at the prison were abol- ished, while others were created. Some salaries of attaches were increased and the remuneration of others was curtailed. The prison guard was ordered increased and new watch towers are to be con- structed. Other improvements at the prison, as recommended by Warden Thompkins, were considered and some of the ideas will be carried out. The board was in session all day. | The meceting was called to order at 10 a. m. Chalitman Fitzgerald stated that he had hoped Governor Pardee would be present, but it was not possible. Direc- tors Wray and Devlin were also absent. Attorney W. W. Foote of San Francisco and Senator Charles Shortridge appeared on behalf of Frank J. Klessner and Charles B. Wilcox respectively. Both ;men are lifc-termers and want to be | paroled. Klessner was convicted in Red | Bluff of having murdered Theodore Tryor | and has served nearly twenty-three years of his term. The crime was the outcome of land trouble. Klessner is an old Union soldier and receives a large pension. He came to California in 1875 and has a wife and five children | Wilcox's application has been on file for { a long time. In fact, at the last meeting of the board prior to Governor Gage's re- tirement from office they recommended exccutive clemency and fully expected that Wilcox would be pardoned. He killed n years ago in San Jose during | argument. Shortridge wished to change that portion of its reading “for valuable, extraor- and efficient service to the State mmend executive clemency in be- cox,” to read, “‘we The matter will we rec half of Charles B. Wi recommend a on. | at t next meeting. i the afternoon in an executive se it was ordered that four more guards be appointed, at compensation of 50 cach per month.

Prison Directors Discuss an Unusual | and Momentéus Application. SAN QUENTIN, Sept. 12—-G. 8. Hans- 1 a life-termer in San Quentin prison, s the Board of Prison Directors to | furnish him a set of false teeth. Hansler has not a single molar in his head, is utterly devold of friends and claims his entire worldly possessions consis of $150 on deposit at the prison treasury. The directors have no funds available for such purposes and Warden Tompkins claims the prisoner is fast losing his health by being unable to masticate his food. The matter was presented to the prison directors during their session to- day and occupled considerable of their time. Director Felton was particularly anxious that the convict be provided forthwith |a plate, but the other members of the board, while concurring in the belief that | they were essential, yet asserted there was no chases; that it would establish a prece- | dent for convicts to ask for all kinds of | things, and that the bill would not be paid. wa s ery well,” said Senator Felton, “let us create a fund quick. If it can not be done any other way, I will take up a | collection myself. There should be a missionary fund for just such purposes. | We do not have to buy wigs, toupees and any old thing for these inmates, but when a fellow needs teeth he needs them bad. I fully appreciate the predicament and believe in helping deserving cases.” It was finally declded that the matter be referred to the Board of Examiners with recommendation that the prison di- | rectors be allowed to outfit Hansler with |a full set. | —_—e———————— Three Hundred Miles Per Hour. | By a system of magnets placed beneath the rail of an elevated railroad—magnets which, when charged, are attracted to the rail and so lift the car into space—Dr. Albert C. Albertson, a distinguished elec- trical engineer of the Royal University of Denmark, claims that he has solved a great transportation problem, making the speed of 300 miles an hour not only possible, but probable. Not only this, but trains equipped with this patent will run without wheels, the railroad structure will be lighter than a ten-horsepower en- ! gine will be used instead of one of 300 horsepower. ~Dr. Albertson’s invention aims stmply to overcome the welght of | the present rallway train by means of powerful magnets. These are attached to | the bottom of the cars in such a way as to lift the wheels and render a 1000 pound car as light as one pound. The attraction of gravity thus being overcome, the heav- fest train becomes light as air, and can be rushed along the tracks with only at- mospheric resistance to contend with. The magnets clamp the rail above and below, so that it is impossible for the train to leave the track. Mr. Albertson's announcement is that there has been dis- covered a method of abolishing the dead weight of the traln, leaving only aerial resistance to be contended with. If this can be done, as Mr. Albertson asserts. half of the battle is won, and the world may yet be able to travel on the earth’s surface with the much-dreamed-of hun- dreds of miles an hour.—Express Gazette. ——————————— Rustic Taste. A well-known landscape painter was busy “dashing in” the colors of a sunset. The tints were hurriedly conveyed from the palette to canvas, for the artist was anxions to catch the effect. A rustic standing by observed the operations for a little while and then remarked: “‘Ah, you be a-painting two pictures at once. That's clever.” He paused a moment and then blurted out: “T like that picture best—the one you've got your thumb through!” RAISES SALARIES provision made for such pur- | | light soles, value. patent leather shoes; matt kid dium weight extension: soles. 13.

A remarkable scheme, Which has for its object the reliet of congestion of traffic in ! the streets of Chicago, 18 proposed by the Tllinois Telephone and Telegraph Company. The scheme is to run an underground trunk line to a tract twelve miles south | of the city. A summary of plans and pos- sibilities of the project is as follows: An expenditure of $15,000,00 in tunnels, 6 by 7 feet or 12 by 14 feet; transportation of freight by means of- ten-foot electric cars, | which will be brought right into the base. | ments of Chicago’s big bulldings by means |'of elevators. The tract, with its ware- | houses and direct tunnel connection with | the basements of the principal buildings | of Chicago, will result in the abolition of | freight sheds and depots in the heart of the city. Congestion in the heart of the | ity will be so relieved that the running | time of street cars will be materially in- ‘L creased.—Exchange. —————————— A South Sea Islander’s Prayer.

Bubonic Plague in India. The bubonic plague is Increasing in In- dia. The official British figures are as follows: In 1897 the death list was 56,000. In 1898 it was 118,000. In 1899 it was 135,- 000. In 1900 it dropped to 93,000. In 1891 it was 274,000 and in 1902 it was 577,000, | making the deadly total for six years of | 1,253,000 souls. But that was not all. Dur-| ing the three first months of the present year the total of deaths from the plague is 331,000, or more deaths in three months from that disease than there were in the | entire year of 1901. At the present rate| the “b.ack death” promises to reap a rich harvest this year.

Argentina has again become a factor of importance. in surplus wheat production. Its exports of this cereal since January 1 —the beginning of its crop vear—amount to 52,821,000 bushels, compared with 17,- 724,000 ifi the same time last year. Appar- ently it 1s to be a record year for the South American republic in this particu- lar. But the country is making very slow progress toward becoming one which can be relied upon to supply as much as 50,- 000,000 bushels for outside consumption year after year, Its cultivated area Iis still so limited or confined to so uniform ! made In the United States, Electric Transmission of Power.

It is formed by the union of two rivulets, one of which is very strongly impregnated with iron, while the other, meandering through a ofe-t marsh, imbibes large quantities gallic acld. Letters have been written with the natural compound of iron and gallic acid, which forms a small yet wonderful stream, the waters of which, by admixture with sulphuric acld, becomes so sour that the river has been appropriately named Vinegar River.
