Pardon Him From Oounty Prison. Loshagnsia Oakland Office’ 8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 81 | The entire governmental machinery of the State of California is to be started™up | in behalf of George Moore of Alameda, | who is serving a 100 days’ sentence in the County Jail for drunkenness and who has | directed a petition for executive clem- ency to Governor George C. Pardee. | Moore says he is the victim of too much | remorse and he believes that when the Governor hears his tale of woe he will stop the affairs of state long enough to cut short the sentence. Seventeen days ago Moore was arrest- ed in Alameda for being drunk. He ap- peared before Justice Tappan the next morning in a repentant frame of mind | and with such feelings that he was will- | ing to forego the taste of liquor for all | future time. He pleaded guilty to the | charge and then asked his Honor to make | the sentence as long as possible in order | that he might fortify his resolution of | turning his back on the vile stuff and | become a total abstainer. 1 The Judge was in a happy frame of | mind and gave Moore what he asked. He | sentenced him to serve 100 days and told him that if he needed more to come back. | But Moore says he is cured. Jail life, | he says, has its horrors, which he would | escape, and to this end he is now using efforts to have a petition properly pre- | sented to the Governor for his release. | —————— | PERFECTION ATTAINED | [ IN MAKING GEMS | An Interesting Case Before the Board | of General Appraisers at New York. Customs officials of the Government are | learning something every day about arti- fictal gems and how they are made. An- expert knowledge is required to be able to tell the difference between the artificlal and the genulne, says the Washington | Star. The Board of General Appraisers | in New York has recently had before it the question of what rate of duty should | be assessed on artificial rubies, which now take the place of the genuine so often that none but experts can tell the difference. | | General Appraiser de Vries rendered an | opinion that the artificlal rubies are prop- | erly dutiable at 10 per cent ad valorem | as precious cut stones, but not set, either | directly or by similitude, under the prn-' visions of section 7, paragraph 435, of the ! Dingley act. The decision of Mr. de Vries has been forwarded ia the Treasury Department. | The rubles - tion were invoiced | as ‘‘reconstr ibies.” They were consigned to u firm in St. Louls, which took an appeal from the decision of the Surveyor of the Port in that city that they were dutiable at 20 per cent ad valo- | rem. At the hearing of the case a mem- ber of the importing firm testified that the artificial rubles were made of lMttle chips of rubles that come from the rough ruby in the cutting of the latter, united to- gether with glass and put into a kiln They are subjected to such a high degree of heat, he sald, that they are assembled and combined together. These articles are known “doublets.” The Board of Appraisers, however, came to the conclu- | sion that the articles in dfspute were not made that way and that they are really artificial rubies | The process of manufacture of artificlal | rubies has been known for @ quarter of a | century to certain sclentists in Europe, and for many years was preserved as a secret by the French Academy of Sciences. Within recent years, however, defections on the part of the workmen, necessarily entrusted with the secret of manufacture, have imported this information to others, and the process of manufacture has be- | come known and the subject of scientific treatise and publications. The article is made by a combination of oxide of chrome and aluminum. This is the natural combination of the true ruby. The composition of this article and the They have the specific gravity er same degree of hardnes: and color. The only way the imitation can be dis- tinguished from the real is that the for- mer, under powerful lenses, shows a niffh- | ber of eccentric lines. These appear In | | the manufactured, but never in the nat- | ural ruby, and are accounted for by the | fact of the powerful pressure necessary | in the manufacture of the artificfal arti- cle. This distinction is very difficult of de- | tection. So far as material, texture and | uses are concerned, the articles are iden- tical. The value of the artificlal ruby is about one-tenth of the natural. It appears from the recora that the de- | Bree of heat which would be necessary to | | weld pleces of genuine rubies would melt them into a volatile substance which would escape, and for that reason the | | process of manufacture contended for is'| | Impossible, though pieces of ruby may be | cemented with glass as stated. The mer- | chandise in auestion is identical in ma- | terial, texture, and use with the genuine | | rby. Whether or not this becomes a precicus stone is unprofitable of inquiry, | for in any event, being identical in ma- | terfal, texture, and use with a precious | stone, and not being provided for under | the provisions of paragraph 115, which | provides for manufactures of certain , enumerated precious stones, it becomes | dutiable, either directly or by similitude to precious stones, under the provisfons of paragraph 43, at the rate of 10 per cent ad valorem.—New York Tribune. —_——— | Chartering Special Trains. | “Speclal trains are becoming so fre- { quent now that they attract little atten- | tlon except when they make record runs | for long distances, or unless there is some | trouble collecting payment for them,” | said a veteran rallroad man. “Ten years | ago, when I was superintendent of one of | the big trunk lines running out of New [ York, a special train was an event that | never failed to get mention in the news- | papers. Station masters required ample | notice to get one in readiness, and there | was a great deal of fuss making arrange- ments all along the line. At any of the big railroad terminals in any city now a man can get a speclal engine and car to chase a flyver almost as easy as he can check his trunk. Only a few minutes' notice i1s required, and right of way is obtained for 160 or 200 miles along the line without noticeably disturbing schedule runs.

(o} NEW POLIGEMEN READY FOR DUTY Politics Cuts No Figure in Selection by ths Board. Rearrangement of Beats Is to Provide Details for tne Men. A0 4 Ay Osakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 3L The eight new policemen who were ap- pointed last week by the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners will report for duty to-morrow. They have all quali-| fled, their bonds have been filed and a rearrangement of the beats of the city| of Gakland has been made so that the new men may find territory to walk! upon. i Oakland has far outgrown lts police | force in the last few years. Many of the | beats have been so large that it has been tmpossible for the men to cover them, and it has been with the greatest difficulty that the city has been policed. The new municipal administration at once recog-; nized this lack of men on the force and allowed half a dozen new men, which will | tide the city over the present winter. Never in the history of Oakland were | policemen appointed without regard to politics until the present lot was added to the force. It is a fact that )Iayor: Olney did not know the political amllu-} tions of a single one of the applicants, | and the other two commissioners were nearly if not quite as ignorant upon this | question, which is usually the all im-| portant one in making appointments. | It is also a fact that most of the men Who | were strongly indorsed failed to pass the | examinations. These examinations were | strict but not severe. They were conducted | with absolute fairness, for some of the | men who were favored by the commission. ers most heartily failed to pass. Before the appointments were made, the men were called before the commissioners in execu tive session and questioned upon every- thing except politics, and then the ap-| pointments were made. This is a record | for non-partisanship that has never been made in Oakland before. !

All Because a Chinaman Is Discharged on Prelimi- nary Examination. PR RN Oakland Office San Francisco Cal 1118 Broadway, Oct. 31 Deputy District Attorney Everett Brown and Justice of the Peace Coburn Emeryville had hot words to-day over the discharge of Moy Lee, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Hrown told the Justice that he disapproved of his dismissal of the case and Coburn tried to get the Deputy District Attorney back into his presence to fine him for contempt. Moy Lee owns a vegetable garden In Emeryville and fired a shotgun at Vincent O’Connor and som a in the garden. T hinaman clalmed that the boys were stealing his vegetables and that he merely fired into the air, but he did not even have the opportunity to make this statement before the Justice to-day, for when the prosecution put in | its case Attorney A. L. Frick moved thaf the case be dismissed for want of | dence. Justice Coburn ordered the missal and then the Deputy District At torney walked out of the courtroom with the remgrk: “We'll sce If we can find a Justice In the county who will hold a defendant when sufficient cause has been shown.” That aroused the ire of Justice Coburn who announced that he considered that statement intimidation of the court and he tried to find the Deputy District At- torney, declaring that he would fine him for contempt of court But the Deputy District Attorney was already headed for Oakland with .the Deputy Town Marshal. As the Justice has no court officer to enforce his judicial dignity, he was compelled to walt and during the wait his wrath cooled a tle.

The foreign hair is also coarser in texture and tougher than that which grows on the American horse, and these qualities make the imported article more valuable than the domestic product is for the purpose. There are only two kinds of horse hair suitable for making | bows, and they are of the white and black varieties. The former Is used for violin bows, and the latter, which is heavier and stronger, is the best.material for aking bows for 'cello and bass -viols, because it bites the larger strings better. The imported hair is put up in hanks of thirty-six inches long, which is five or six inches longer than the standard violin bow. A hank is sufficient for one violin bow, while two hanks are required to hair a ‘éello or a bass viol bow, There are about one and one-half ounces of hair in a hank, which Is worth from 20 to 3 cents, according to the quality of the hair."—New York Mail and Express. —_————————— Firing PolMon!.
