STOCKTON. Aug. 11.— Will six of the
most prominent delegates to the recent
grand council of the Young Men's In
stitute .be recognized by their families
and friends when they arrive home?
They departed today, dubious as to
the reception that awaited them, the
smiles that have wreathed their coun
tenances during the last week having
iaded. They are returning home shorn
•of that which they prized so long—
v. . ...... -
their goatees.
The "unidentified" are:
. George a. Maolov. grand secretary
a resident of San Francisco.
' .; Dr. T. 11. MorrU, a member of Pioneer
council No. 1. San Francisco.
*"• J. Kieree, past grand president and
prominent lawyer, San Francisco.
J. B. • Queen, past president, San
I'ranclsco.
Cp J. Droescli, Merced.
•. Denli Early, Ferndale.
•J. Henry J. yon Detten, Stockton.
. The amputation of their goatees was
the result of an inspiration that struck
one of the young delegates. Noticing
a number of the "old guard," as some
•of \u25a0 the most prominent members are
fondly termed, wearing handsome goat
ees, he remarked to his companions:
p '"Say, this is a young men's institute,
isn't It?"
. The reply was In the affirmative, of
\u25a0 course.
"Well, look at all those delegates
with goatees. Their chin adornments
don't indicate youth. Let's make them
young."
The plot was thus hatched, and it
was a short time after that that George
A. Stanley, the distinguished grand
prcretary and one who . has . .worn a
jroatee for years, -was taken, by eur
pris<> in his room at The Stockton. The
ultimatum wap delivered. The grand
ppcretary didn't approve of the idea.
He demurred and then he pleaded, but
of no avail. A sharp- pair of scissors
was brought Into action and his hirsute
decoration was no more. At least, so
much of it was chipped off that he had
to hurry to the barber* shop to have
the job completed.
The "blow that killed father" oc
curred when the distinguished Doctor
Morris was deprived of his goatee. The
doctor had become a prominent figure
in Stockton during his week's stay. ' It
•was he whom Grand Marshal John
Smith selected as on? at his aides dur
.ing- the parade. _ IT* was * not spared
any more than the others" however, al
though they allowed him to retain his
mustache.
C. J. Droesch and Denis Early were
srated at the banquet table when the
.^\u25a0'-issorp were applied. The young men
who removed Droesch's whiskers jocu
larly informed the delegates that he
•"had his goat."
The "old guard" took the procedure
of being- transformed into young men
good naturedly and appeared to enjoy
th<> situation as much as the others.
v Richard A. Lauxen. who was chair
*s:nan in charge of general arrangements
i«r the celebration and convention, was
.taken entirely by surprise last night
:<nd was presented an elegant solid gold
charm. Th.* emblem of the order and
a diamond setting constitute one side,
while his monogram graces the other.
It was presented by the Radish club, a
side issue of the order.
. Past Grand President James P. Sex of
Jose was made the recipient of an
elegant silver set.

WEXATCHEE, Wash., Aug. 11.— Mrs.
Noel Totten, wife of a farmer -near
Cashmere, shot and killed James S\it

MANY DIFFICULTIES
CONFRONT WINE MAKERS
Hot Algerian Winds Often Ruin
the Must
Wine making in Algeria presents
difficulties and problems unknown to
the vintners of colder countries. In
Algeria distinction and difference must
be drawn bet-ween the vineyard of the
hill and that of the plain. The grape
of the plain ripens earlier than its
neighbor. It must be placed sooner in
•the press, with the result that the must
is ready for fermentation while the
season of the sirocco is still strong.
Up to 1904 there was practically no
protection > against the possible dire
results of the coming of the sirocco. If
the must were in the high process of
fermenting this sudden hot wind often
carried the temperature, to a point at
which the must was Tuljied. The fer
mentation could neither be controlled
nor even modified and the content of
the vat was rendered valueless, but in
1904 the growers introduced refrigerat
ing machines, which were successful in
keeping the fermentation below the
danger point of 59.6 degrees Fahren
heit. -But the use of these machines
was not within the power of all the
growers; first, because of their cost,
and. second* the water necessary for
their use was not always available. It
was found, also, that the great fault of
the Algerian wines still reniianed, that
of instability.
. , At this time began -also. experiments
in the use of metabisulphite of potas
sium, a substance powerfully affecting
the bacteria of fermentation. It seems
that Incomplete transformation of; the
grape sugar is not the only difficulty
confronting the vintner. After the wine
is made and placed in the vats for clar
ification there occurs a phenomenon
technically known among the Algerian
growers as "la caise oxydasique." This
and "les gouts de terroir" (earthy
flavors) are mentioned here as consti
tuting dangers lor disadvantages to
which, the metabisulphite has proved
strongly Inimical, as well as that of in
complete and undue fermentations.
M. Bertrand, having experimented
with quantities of the sulphide as high
as 90 grams (3.17 ounces) per hectoliter
(26.42 gallons) of ' wine,. advises
against the use of such large quantities
except in emergencies. While the wine
under such use clarifiies very quickly to
a brilliant color and the - flavor "mel
lows," the fermentation takes eight or
nine days for Its completion,: instead of
the usual four or five. During the for
mer period many difficulties may appear
which are avoidable in the shorter pro
cess. A too large quantity may even
arrest the fermentation altogether. The
grower must be guided; by. the greater
or less maturity of the grapes, with
their consequent greater or less con
tent of sugar and the temperature at
the time of their gathering.

APPLE SHOW AGAIN
TEMPTS BIG CROWD
Two Excursions Bring Visitors
Into Sebastopol From the
Rest of State
[specia/ Dispatch to The Call]
SEBASTOPOL, Aug. ; 11.— The- apple
show continued a big drawing card to
day, and from the time the mammoth
tent was thrown open to "the .public
this morning until it closed tonight
thousands of visitors* wandered among
the pretty exhibits, and viewed them
with delight. Two excursions came
into Sebastopol today and others will
be run to this city/each day during the
remainder of the apple show.
One excursion train of seven coaches
came over the Northwestern Pacific
railroad from Willits and brought visi
tors from all the way stations.
The second was a special bringing
the Sonoma County Retail Grocers' as
sociation from Santa Rosa, where a
convention was held today. .The dele
gates to the latter were entertained by
the Sebastopol merchants' association
an»l were. shown many courtesies.
More than 500 persons were on the
excursion train from the north and they
were more than pleased with the beau
ties of the display made in .the big
pavilion. • *
Seldom has a fair attracted so much
attention in its first year, but the ex
cellence of this apple fair has been
such that its fame has spread' far and
wide and thousands of visitors are in
terested in seeing the wonderful de
signs into which the fruit can be ar
ranged. It is patterned largely on the
results attained by the Cloverdale cit
rus fairs, which was the pioneer along
this line of endeavor.
< The exhibits run the/ gamut of im
agination and the people of this, city
believe that the coming year will see
them presenting an exhibition of much
greater excellence, than the one which
Is now receiving such unstinted praise
from all who see it. jj The directors of
the fair are planning at this time for
the fair to be given next year, and
among the things they are discussing
with great earnestness is the erection
of a modern pavilion for holding the
exhibit. It is realized that the fair
this season- is too^ large for the mam
moth tent in which it is housed. There
is' insufficient room for the spectators
to move about and see the exhibits in
comfort, and the 'directors feel that
they must correct this evil at once.
On the opening night the crowds
were so dense surrounding the exhibits
that it was impossible for spectators
to move. either way^at'times.
The apple fairs will do much more to
bring Sevastopol and the Gold ridge
section into prominence and make their
splendid products known than anything
else'that could.be suggested. ;
The citrus fairs held-'annually ; at
Cloverdale- have developed that section
wonderfully/ and the apple fairs at
Sebastopol will do likewise for this
favored section.
BURGLAR PROOF SAFE
MADE TO HOLD RADIUM
Also' Made Proof Against Loss
by Emanation
A remarkable safe, the . first of its
kind ever constructed, has been 'made
by an- English firm of safe makers for
the British radium corporation. It has
been specially constructed for the stor
age and protection of radium, and while
only about 3 feet: in height it' weighs
a ton and a half. Great, ingenuity has
been \u25a0 exercised upon the design and
construction in order to make \u25a0 it, as
far as possible, proof against, the skill
of the most -expert burglars 'and
against all risks of loss by emanation.
Experiments proved that practically
the" only metal which would withstand
the great penetrating power of radium
emanations was lead, but" as this was
not at the -same' time; burglar: proof
the, only solution was to construct a
safe- with an interior , of lead and an
exterior \u25a0of steel. .The interior .shell
was .made of three inch ; lead* and- the
outer casement of a similar- thickness
of \u25a0 steel/.' k'^ "\ \u25a0-; \u25a0;\u25a0\u25a0' . , : , »\u25a0» \u25a0 . \u25a0 .-. ~- \u25a0
Another difficulty was the fitting of
the door to prevent the escape of any
ray of light. /This was? .secured by
constructing -a ' circular, lathe turned
door which has a "dead" fit,:'and has-a

One Way I Can in Another,"
Her Words, He Says
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
SANTA ROSA, Aug. 11.— W. B. Quig
ley ofSazadero is the latest person to
come forward with information con
cerning Mrs. Starbucy and her ranch in
that vicinity. Quigley tells of having
been approached some time ago by the
Oakland woman and asked to secure
the services of some one to take charge
of her property. . , • '.'! '>'•-
Quigley asked if the 'Kendalls in
tended to leave and Mrs. Starbuck an
swered that they, had not given her
an intimation of dissatisfaction, 'but an-,
nounced that ; she intended to force
them to leave the premises.,
Quigley inquired as to the lease,
which he understood Kendall had with
Mrs. Starbuck. regarding the property,
and was informed that notwithstand
ing' the lease the woman would again
take over the. property. Mrs. Starbuck
declared that she intended to get hold
of the property at once, and, said:
"Never mind the lease, Mr. Quigley.
If I can't get rid of them In one way I
can in another." ,
WOMAN'S THREATS REPEATED
No further information was vouch
safed Quigley on this matter of getting
rid of the Kendalls. Quigley finally
sent to Mrs. Starbuck a man who want
ed a position of foreman of .her ranch,
and to this man Mrs. Starbuck is. said
to habe made the identical threts she
made to Quigley.
The man refused to have anything
to do with the matter and left Mrs.
Starbuck with the Kendalls still on her
ranch.
A Japanese' who ' had been acting
strangely on the Harry Hall ranch west
of this 'city was taken into custody
this morning. He was brought in by
Sheriff Jack Smith because his general
appearance answered the description of
the suspect, Yamaguchi, and because of
his peculiar actions for some days.
He was unable, to speak a word of
English and could only write his name
in Japanese characters, which were un
intelligible to Sheriff Smith;
SUSPECT SECURES LIBERTY
Through an interpreter the man was
permitted to tell his story and wit
nesses who knew him -came forward
and vouched for the fact that he could
not have committed the. murders, and
he was released. It was shown that he
had not been away from this vicinity
for many weeksl
Sheriff Smith has had no - reports
from the searchers on the Cazadero
ranch for the last two days. This indi
cates that nothing* has been found by
the men who are beating the bushes
and the infrequently visited sections' of
the ranch and adjoining country.
It is felt here now that the officials
have established absolutely the fact of
the death of all three members of the
Kendall family, and that this is suffi
cient evidence . to present the case to
the -'grand jury whenever if is deter
mined to be advisable to call that body
together. . •: : -:.

BOSTON, Aug. 11.— Although he did
not directly advocate the re-establish
ment of the army canteen Rev. Father
George J. Waring, chaplain of the Elev
enth cavalry. United States army, in
an address before the national conven
tion of the Catholic total abstinence
union today Implied that its abolition
was a mistake.
Father Waring declared that the sol

fact that practically he was barred
from high class amusement and re
freshments, lie added:
He has been deprived of a can
\u25a0 teen where he .was accustomed to
get a glass of pure beer without
going away .from his home, and
where he could neither meet bad
company nor drink to excess. He is
shunned by all respectable "people.
His self-respect; is crushed within
him and he naturally enters . the
only open' door — that of the saloon.
Rev. Father Walter J. Shalley •of
Danbury. Conn., . former president of
the union, advocated political activity
on the part of the. members of the
union to secure more drastic laws
against the liquor truffic and to combat
the' political work of the liquor in

Although Very Vev. Peter J. 6'Cal

of the Catholic total abstinence union,
announced yesterday that he was not
a candidate for re-election, it was gen
erally conceded today that his name

AUTOMATIC FLOGGER
SCATTERS ITS SPANKS
Several. European Nations Find
Use for Machine
Automatic flogging machines are in
use among the military forces of sev
eral European nations. The machine
is, says the Montreal Standard, ; auto
matic in action, and as soon as the cul
prit is fastened in position a spring is
tightened or loosened to . gauge the
exact force of the blow. A pointer is
moved over a dial to* the requisite num
ber of strokes, and the mechanism is
started. With perfect regularity the
victim's, back is scourged by the
thongs, .the handle of the whip being
moved- by a screw device after each
stroke so that the lash does not fall
upon the same spot throughout the
punishment. Each blow is of uniform
severity, and as soon as the required
number has been given the machine
comes to a rest and the offender is re
leased, with the assurance that the
exact -punishment ordered has been
meted out to him.
It- is estimated that 60,000 horse
power can be developed from the St.

CONTEST WAGED TO
ASSIST BULLOCK
Two Candidates Enter Race to
Prevent Defeat of Present
District Attorney
Struggle Is on Issue Between
Government of People and
. A poltical battle of deep significance
being waged in San Mateo county has
its storm center in the contest of Ken
neth M. Green of San Mateo for the
district attorneyship against a combi
nation of \u25a0 three candidates, whose
endeavors are binff directed to the re
tention in power of District Attorney
Joseph J. Bullock and the political and
business organization known as the
"county ring." The strugle is on a
clean cut issue between' government
by the peopje or continued control by
Bullock and' the forces he represents.
Ostensibly there are four candidates
in.th field for the district attorneyship.
but in reality the fight is between
Green and Bullock. James T. O'Keefe
of Redwood City and Harry E. Styles,
city attorney of South San Francisco,
are ostensible, contenders for tlte nom
ination, but according to the good gov
ernment league in San Mateo county
are in reality merely lending them
selves to th "ring's" scheme to elect
Bullock.
That Styles and O'Keefe are in the
fight to assist in. the defeat of Green,
and so to assure Bullock's election, is
the charge freely made by members o(
the good government league of the
county. At the outset of the campaign
Styles refused to enter the fight, giving
as his resaon that he could not do so
because of his close relations with Bul
lock.
After Green had entered the running,
both Styles and O'Keefe were 'brought
out. They have been closly associated
as attorneys for Dr. H. G. Plymire. the
coroner and public administrator of the
county, who is the "ring's" candidate
for re-election, and who is <me of Bul
lock's strongest backers and closes per
sonal friends.
..The gambling interest in the north
end of the county, where things have
been run wide op.ti under Bullock's ad
ministration, are massing their forces
to re-elect Bullock, but wherever a
voter is found opposed to Bullock the
gamblers are employing every subter
fuge to turn the vote to either Styles or
O'Keefe.
MERELY TAKE", OPPO.VEXTS
The candidacies Styles and O'Keefe,
in the light of their connection with
each other and with Plymirefi put them
in ,the position of being merely- "fake"
opponents of Bullock." Xobody concedes
either a chance to win, while their
presence in the fight is seriously injur
ing Green.'s chances of victory.
While Styles, earlier. ln the contest,
admitted his close relations with Bul
lock, those existing between O'Keefe
and Bullock have been very apparent.
Sto*Vies are freely circulated to the ef
fect that in a number of criminal cases
coming before him for prosecution Bul
lock has advised defendants to employ
O'Keefe as their attorney, and that
many of these cases have later been re
ported "fixed" or settled out of court. "
Plymire. the "ring" candidate for cor
oner and public administrator, has no
opponent for the republican nomina
tion-but hints of a serious nature con
cerning his conduct of the affairs of his
office are in circulation, and the good
government forces are hoping to bring
about his defeat by centering upon a
democratic candidate. Examination of
the county records has shown some un
usual figures -among Plymire's accounts.
A case in which Plymire figured as
public administrator, with Styles as
his attorney, was that arising in con
nection with the settlement of the
estate of Charlotte Dickerson. who
died last December In Millbrae, with
out heirs in this country. Plymire's
biir was allowed only after serious
objection by Superior Judge Buck.
One item of the services of a nurse,
amounting in all to $935, was cut down
$325. by the court. Another item of the
account included a bill of $685 for
funeral expenses. 'due. the undertaker,
J. E. Elder. Elder is a deputy under
Plymire. The latter's report included
no itemized account of the funeral
expenses, but merely the flat charge.
FIGHT FOR RECORDER'S JOB
Next in interest to the fight for the
district attorneyship and the general
opposition developing toward. Plymire,
is the contest between James E. Fitz
gerald and Harold O. Heiner for the
office of recorder. The latter has the
indorsement of the Good Government
league, although he is not a member of
the organiation, while Fitgerald has
the backing of the Bullock "ring."
In a letter^ written early in the
campaign to*one of the county officers,
Fitgerald put. himself on record as a
mere agent of the county machine and
admitted taking his orders, without a
murmur. «Heiner is making an ag
gressive fight with the ' chances In
favor of his success.

"SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Completely Removed Without
One Moment's Pain"
No longer need women suffer tha ter-
rible humiliation and embarrassment of
a repulsive, hairy growth on the face,
neck, arms or hands, which gives the
feminine face such a coarse, ugly, mas-
culine and oftentimes positively re-
pugnant appearance.
For years I searched for a painless,
simple and satisfactory way to remove
superfluous hair from the skin so that
it need never return. Endless experi-*
ments and the experience of thousands
of women who have undergone the
barbarous torture of the electric nee-
dle, burning pastes and powders proved
to me that these widely advertised
treatments were for the most part dan-
gerous in the extreme and seldom sat-
isfactory in their results. Usually the
unsightly growth returns in greatly
aggravated form and sometimes the
victim's- .face is horribly scarred for life.
Yet. I determined there must be a way
and that I should find it.
At last a happy thought came to me.
and after many long wakeful hours T
emerged triumphant with a wonderful
new mode of treatment, different from
all others I had ever seen, yet so sim-
ple and practical it seems strange it
ha t never been discovered lief ore. A
few friends tested my discovery with
instant success. A noted French cham-
ist to whom I showed it said it con-
tained ingredients for dissolving the
hair' — root and all. One lady who tried
it said: "A single application sufficed
to destroy the hair Instantly, and on
the second application I could see that
even the roots had disappeared." "Re-
moved every trace of the undesirable
growth. I did not suffer one second,"
said another lady. "Hair completely
disappeared, leaving my skin soft and
white," said still another woman.
I have put my discovery to the hard-
est possible tests. I have seen this re-
markable preparation put on an arm
fairly bristling with disgusting blark
hair and watched it fairly wither and
die- before my very ftyes — shriveling up
and vanishing as though touched by the
hand of magic.
It seems certain now that I have at
last discovered a plan which will suc-
ceed In producing marvelous results
where all other plans have 'failed, and
I believe that no matter how much or
how little superfluous hair Is on your
face, neck, arms or body you can with
my simple and wonderful discovery re-
move completely every hateful hair,
positively, painlessly and with perfect
safety.. - • ,• '

tinue this plan I will for Introductory
