Edward Rosenberg, a special commis- sioner of the American Federation o Labor, who was sent to Hawaii, China and Japan, is one of the delegates, and will present a resolution favoring the extension of the Chinese exclusion act g0 as to embrace all Orientals.

There is a knack in making it. The only secret about it is the secret of its success.

Think of petroleum being taken as a substitute for cod liver oill —t00 absurd. Think of the so-called wines, extracts and cordials of cod liver oii! —they are simply the shadow without the substance; no food value in them.

Dr. Browne is a scientist, who has resided in the Philippines for several years, and to him has been assigned the work of ar- ranging the scientific features of the island exhibit and preparing the cata- logue of the latter. Commissioners Fenner and Hall represent respectively commercial and - agricultural first time in the history of the Philip- pines that its people have attempted to exhibit their products abroad, and, according to~ the statement of Dr. Browne, the natives are taking a deep interest in the undertaking. e “It will be the largest exhibition from any outside country,” said Dr. Browne yesterday, “and a most com- plete one.

DENVER, Colo., Jan. 4.—Frederick O. Arnold, Newton A. Andrews and Charles O. Peters, aged respectively 18, 22 and 24 years, pleaded guilty when arraigned in the Criminal Court this - afternoon on an information charging them with the murder of Mrs. A. Youngblood, who was shot dead at her home in Valverde last Thursday night. Their trial ‘was set for Wednesday. At the Coroner’s inquest Arnold and Andrews admitted that they fired the shots which killed Mrs. Younzblood and wounded her son Robert. 'The latter is still alive, but is not expected to survive. Peters said he was pres- ent, but did not shoot. The three youths displayed much emotion as they ‘told of their crime, the motive of which was robbery.

He suggested that the police avrest all persons using so-called | gas regulators, which practically set the ordinance at naught. The matter came up in the course.of the inquest upon the bodies of 1. Mura- kama and T. Kawahata, Japanese, who were suffocated by illuminating gas on Deécember 20 in a lodging-house at 416 | O'Farrell street, @onducted by Mrs. Kate Mellick. Less than four months ago.a white man and a white woman were suffocated in bed in the same house. Mrs. Mellick testiffied that she used a ‘‘gas regulator” furnished by the United States Gas Regulating Com- pany. The regulator is placed between the meter and the burner, and she said that she had been in the habit of in- creasing the pressure and flow of the fluid by placing weights on the regu- lator whenever she wanted to cook on her gas range, and that when she fin- ished her cooking she used to take off the weights to refluce the pressure and to prevent waste. She swore that she had not done any cooking while the Japanese were in their room and had her meals sent in from the outside. It was in evidence that when all the weights were put on and the pressure increased the gas jet flared so strongly as to crack the glass shade, and that it was possible to extinguish the jet by taking off the weights. A. D. Wilson, manager of the United States Gas Regulating Company, testi- fied that there were three companies besides his own operating in this city and that his company had 350 patrons. €oroner Leland remarked that every one of the 350 patrons was violating or- dinance No. 642, and that some arrests should be made in order to stop this wholesale-trifling with human lives. The jury returmed a verdict of acci- dental death, and added: “We recommend that the proper au- thorities enforce the regulations in re- gard to-interference with gas meters, and that their attention be called to the violation of ordinance No. 642 by gas regulating companies, and that said companies be served with notices of such ordinance.” Copies of the verdiet were given by the Coroner te Detective Anthony, who had charge of the case. —— e CHRISTI'S MENTAL STATE ‘TO BE PUT TO THE TEST Marine Fireman Accused of Assault to Commit Murder Released on His Own Recognizance. The case of Giovani Christi, charged with assault to murder, was called in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday to be again set for trial. When the case first came up for trial on June 13 the defendant caused a scene in court and on. motion of his attorney the Judge discharged the jury yithout prejudice. The jury was immediately reealled to ascertain the mental condition of the defendant and returned a verdict find- ing the defendant insane at that time. ~The defendant was committed to the insane asylum at Ukiah and re- cently the Judge was notified that he had become sane. He was returned to the custody of the Sheriff and since then he has been in the County Jail /awaiting trial. Yesterday the Judge, on the suggestion of counsel, admit- ted the defendant to bail on his own recognizance in order that his mental condition could be ascertained, unaf- fected by legal restraint. - The case was continued till February 6. ~ Christi was a fireman on the steam- | er U. 8.
