ROSARIO SAIZ NOT TAKEN Macias Brought Back from Ensenada by Cervantes Report that Rosario Salz had been captured at Ticarte, Lower California, by Mexican rurales, proves to have been unfounded. The man captured at that settlement while asleep was Alejo Macias, who escaped with Salz from the county jail October 16. Macias was in charge of a band of Chinese, and it is believed Salz was the moving spirit in the attempt to land the contraband Chinese on American soil. The Chinese numbered five. They landed near Ensenada, and were being brought to Tia Juana. The route thence lay northerly to the San Juan hills, El Toro and this city. Macias was turned over to Cervantes by Mexican officers at Ticarte, and Cervantes landed his man in the county jail on Thursday. Sheriff Lacy was informed by telephone from San Diego on Tuesday that Salz had been captured by rurales at Ticarte. Cervantes had been in Lower California several days looking for Salz. He located Macias, and it is said could have taken him several days before his capture, but preferred to maintain his hunt for Salz, believing he could take Macias at any time. Cervantes was the first man to make the discovery that Salz was still at liberty. He took Macias into custody and brought him to Santa Ana. Salz and Macias quarrelled after gaining the Mexican line. The former desired to go immediately into the business of piloting contraband Chinese into this country. Macias objected, holding the scheme was too hazardous. It is believed that under threats from Salz he headed an expedition to bring in Chinese, when captured by rurales. That report of Salz's capture should have been made the night before elec- limit for forgery, to which he plead guilty, is fourteen years. Macias was quite talkative on his return to jail. He spoke of having hid a rifle stolen from the sheriff's office at the time of his escape in the foliage of an orange tree at Santa Ana, but when Sheriff Lacy appeared in an auto and desired him to go and point out the orchard, Macias acknowledged he was falsifying and asked to be taken immediately into court, saying he wished to plead guilty. He was given his preliminary hearing in Justice Smithwick's township court, where he was held to answer in the superior court. He was taken before Judge West, plead guilty to forgery and immediately sentenced. Macias passed a bogus check for $30 on Hall & Walls, local saloon keepers, and one in similar amount on a Santa Ana shoe store. He had presumably served a term in state prison for stealing a bicycle in Los Angeles. "Tell us something about your escape," said the judge. "I agreed to break jail with Salz only on condition that no one should be hurt," he replied. "Yet you armed yourselves with rifles, and would probably have slain anyone who attempted to intercept your flight." "The maximum penalty under the charge," continued the judge, "is fourteen years. I sentence you to thirteen years in San Quentin prison." Macias was taken to prison on Sunday, in company of Martine Juarez, who was sentenced to three years in San Quentin for manslaughter. Juarez killed a section hand named Garcia at West Anaheim a month ago. The light sentence is due to the fact that Juarez made the court believe the other man was the aggressor. CHANGED CONDITIONS Women Blamed for Many Phases of the New Way of Living Saiz and Macias quarrelled after gaining the Mexican line. The former desired to go immediately into the business of piloting contraband Chinese into this country. Macias objected, holding the scheme was too hazardous. It is believed that under threats from Saiz he headed an expedition to bring in Chinese, when captured by rurales. That report of Saiz's capture should have been made the night before election is regarded with suspicion by some, but Lacy's friends maintain that if any attempt was made to deceive voters, Lacy had no hand in it. Misinformation came from San Diego officers, who, it is said, really believed Saiz had been taken. The mistake was discovered by Cervantes when Macias was turned over to him. Saiz is in the Ensenada mountains, and officers are close on his trail. Cervantes has spent his entire time since the desperado's escape in searching for him. A week after his escape, Cervantes and a posse, hearing Saiz had been seen in this vicinity, spent a night on horseback in his search. They came through Anaheim at daylight from Yorba, having scoured the country for the escapes. Some days later, when it was reported that the two desperadoes had been seen in a walnut grove near Brookahurst, Cervantes came over with a posse of officers from Santa Ana in two automobiles. With a bullseye lantern in one hand and a cocked revolver in the other, Cervantes led the way into a house in which the desperadoes were supposed to be in hiding. No trace of them was found. Cervantes last week crossed the border, and was on the trail hotfoot when the Mexican rurales captured Macias. Saiz is believed to be in hiding in the mountains near Ensenada, and officers say it is only a question of time when he will be again taken into custody. Arrested in August for forgery Macias was to appear for his preliminary examination on October 17, but on the 16th he broke jail with Rosario Salz, desperado and smuggler, and although posses bunted the pair, he made his way to Mexico. There Macias was captured and Thursday night he was placed in jail at Santa Ana. At San Diego the prisoner was stubborn. He denied his name was Macias, declared he could not speak English, and would not tell anything and knew nothing. Women Blamed for Many Phases of the New Way of Living How exceedingly much our methods of life have changed the last few years. A very short time ago one was either in or out of town, but now we manage to combine both conditions of being with an ease calculated to make an Indian fakir considerably envious. One calls up the friend one saw yesterday, to learn that she is out of town today, but will probably be in town for lunch or dinner tomorrow, and one is tempted to indulge in that hackneyed and palpably absurd mental speculation of what great-grandmamma would have said to it all. She dear old lady, planned her annual trip a year in advance, worked for it, prepared for it from the sartorial point of view for months ahead, while, arrived at the period at which it was sensible to talk of the coming holiday in terms of weeks, she proceeded to flutter and reduce to a more or less state of nervous prostration herself and her family; the days reserved for the function of packing were days of trembling joyousness, and the sensational episode of the journey itself, was closely allied to sal volatile and mysterious-looking little flasks. Were they happier days than these as some of our silvery-haired friends would have us believe? Just now we are at a period of transition in our habits, and the old conventions will arise yet and war with the newer aspects of life, and these conventions will not always come into line with the automobile and aeroplane. The result is an unrest among the fullness of our lives which sometimes comes perilously near to discontent, and which is having such results in the relationships and life of the family as to seriously alarm some of the more timid survivors of a past and more peaceful, it must be confessed, generation. Women are coming in for the lion share of the blame, although they may take heart of grace in also bearing much of the trouble ascribed to the masculine side, and finally to the children themselves.

Maclas was to appear for his preliminary examination on October 17, but on the 16th he broke jail with Rosario Salz, desperado and smuggler, and although posses hunted the pair, he made his way to Mexico. There Maclas was captured and Thursday night he was placed in jail at Santa Ana. At San Diego the prisoner was stubborn. He denied his name was Maclas, declared he could not speak English, and would not tell anything and knew nothing. In his cell, at Santa Ana, Maclas was in a talkative mood, and described in detail a journey to the border. He told Jailer Lacy, whose rifle he stole, that he hid the weapon in a tree on J. A. Magg's place. He said that he and Salz were fed at El Modena by Edna Cardenas, a Mexican girl, and that they then walked to San Diego. Maclas said he worked two days for a constable at Del Mar, and in San Diego bought popcorn while talking to a policeman. After Lacy had heard the tale he got a rig and started to take Maclas from his cell that he might go to Maggs' orchard and locate the rifle. At that order, Maclas weakened. He admitted he had lied. The rifle he said is in Ticarte, Mex., where Maclas was captured. Once on a confession streak, Maclas asked the jailor to send word at once to Dist.-Atty. Davis and tell him that he wanted to plead guilty and get the thing over with as quick as possible. Maclas has served a term in Folsom for horse stealing. One thing he will not tell, and that is the whereabouts of the murderer — Salz. Maclas was sentenced by Judge West on Friday morning to thirteen years in San Quentin prison. The rest among the furious of our lives which sometimes comes perilously near to discontent, and which is having such results in the relationships and life of the family as to seriously alarm some of the more timid survivors of a past and more peaceful, it must be confessed, generation. Women are coming in for the lion share of the blame, although they may take heart of grace in also bearing much of the trouble ascribed to the masculine side, and finally to the children themselves. Comparatively few people see that it is not a question of individuals at all, but the different aspects of life which the changing conditions of travel and society cause the individual to take. TURKISH DELIGHT CANDY It is time to be collecting recipes for the Christmas candies. Here is one secured from a friend who prides herself on having "the latest good things." One quart of sugar, one cup cold water (more or less, enough to moisten sugar), juice of one lemon, juice and grated rind of one orange—mixed together. Dissolve one box of gelatine in one cup of hot water, one cup walnuts, chopped and scattered in bottom of pan. Let water and sugar come to a boil, then stir in dissolved gelatine slowly and let boll ten minutes. Add juice and grated rind of fruit and boll ten minutes more. Remove and add one tablespoon Jamaica rum or any desired flavor; pour over nuts. While cooking, stir constantly. When cold cut in thin squares. Before cutting up sprinkle powdered sugar over candy. BASEBALL TERPSICHORE Players, Fans, Rooters and All Hold Merry Rally The first of a series of terpsichorean games, under the management of the Anaheim baseball club, held at the opera-house on Friday evening last was marked with a grand rally, and scored a big hit. The orchestra struck out at 9:15 o'clock sharp. Manager Stock and wife, followed by Catcher Schneider and wife started the run getting by walks around the diamond. As the home plate was crossed by over two hundred runners each was presented with a score card to keep tally on the twenty runs scheduled to follow. During the entire game the batteries of Fruh & McEachran and Tausch and Alexander played in excellent tune and were frequently greeted with rounds of applause. The time of game was three hours and fifteen minutes. When "Google" counted the proceeds of the hat collections a neat profit was found to be the result. Everybody got their money's worth too. Fine game. The following unique dance program, bringing in the names of the team, plays and duties in baseball-talk were substituted for the numbers of music, created a round of fun: First Inning Grand Sweep—Stock to the Front.

A CHANCE FOR “SKIM” Gobs of Junk Shipped North from Panama Canal Something like 10,000 tons of old French junk from the Panama canal is being shipped to New York for sale. The junk includes old locomotives, dump cars, tanks, barges, boilers, girders, dredges, sheet iron, parts of old machinery and other things for which the French canal company paid millions of dollars and which it left to ruin on the isthmus. The scrap is being sent north in 700-ton lots, and three years will be required to ship it all. Each of the locomotives left by the French yields between $400 and $600 worth of copper alone. The commission will save the old steel rails on the isthmus to be used as reinforcements in the concrete work and as telephone and telegraph poles. Some of this old French junk has been found in extraordinary places. Dredges have been discovered almost buried completely in sand, hundreds of feet away from any body of water and overgrown with dense tropical vegetation. Apparently they have been carried away from the river bed by high water or the river itself has shifted its course. Several of these buried dredges were in a fairly good state of preservation and are now doing work on the isthmus. UNDERGROUND WATERS FOR FARM USE The United States Geological survey has just issued a report by M. L. Fuller entitled, "Underground waters for farm use." Mr. Fuller enumerates the various kinds of rocks and deposits that contain and convey underground water, describes the several types of wells, and discusses measures for the protection of springs and wells from pollution. The report, which is issued as Water Supply Paper 255, also contains sections on PREPARING FOR THE FAIR San Diego Will Show Us What She Can Do In 1915 John Charles Olmsted, celebrated landscape architect, of the firm of Olmsted Brothers, Boston, Mass., is now in San Diego, California, his firm having been selected by the directors of the Panama Pacific Exposition to lay out the fourteen hundred acre park in that city for the proposed exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal. San Diego proposes to have a unique exposition, the like of which has never been even thought of, much less seen, and it will not be long before work is actually begun on the buildings which are to house the exhibits to be brought from all the countries of the world, but more especially from the southwestern states of the United States, Mexico, South and Central America. Inside of the next six months Architect Olmsted, who was the designer of the grounds of the Columbia World's Fair in Chicago; the Lewis & Clark exposition in Portland and the Alaska Yukon Exposition in Seattle, will have prepared the general plan for the laying out and beautification of the immense park, which is to become famous under the name of "Balboa Park," and also for that part of this tract which is to be the site of the Panama California Exposition in 1915. He will also prepare plans for the several immense exposition buildings, which are to become permanent features of Balboa Park. It is estimated that three years will be required in which to beautify the park and build the permanent buildups, although Mr. Olmsted's term of employment is to extend for four years. San Diego is not waiting for any state or federal recognition for her exposition, but is already exploiting Two Step—Schneider Wings to Second. Waltz—Chillie Makes a Hot Steal. Two Step—A Long Drive.

TO RECOVER OIL LANDS Southern Pacific's Grip Upon Valuable Property to Be Pried Loose By direction of President Taft, Attorney General Wickersham has begun an inquiry to determine whether 4000 acres of valuable oil lands in California was known to contain oil when patented to the Southern Pacific. If so, suit to recover will be instituted. President Taft decided to act after a conference with Secretary Ballinger and Attorney-General Wickersham just before leaving for Panama. Allegations were made to the president that thousands of acres of public lands have been patented by individuals, with the knowledge that they contained oil and have found their way into the hands of corporations. Taft said the suit was only the beginning of proceedings against the Southern Pacific. Agents of the Department of Justice are searching records preliminary to a complete investigation of patent lands thought to have been taken as public domain with the information that they contained minerals from the Southern Pacific lands, and thousands of acres in the same vicinity were patented several years ago. Taft's instructions to Wickersham were to investigate with all the facilities at his command and if results warrant to begin proceedings to restore to the public domain all the lands so patented. FARM USE The United States Geological survey has just issued a report by M. L. Fuller entitled, "Underground waters for farm use." Mr. Fuller enumerates the various kinds of rocks and deposits that contain and convey underground water, describes the several types of wells, and discusses measures for the protection of springs and wells from pollution. The report, which is issued as Water Supply Paper 255, also contains sections on methods of well boring, the use of cisterns, the divining rod, the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of wells, and the location and cost of wells. It covers 58 pages and is illustrated by numerous plates and figures. In speaking of the divining rod Mr. Fuller says, "No appliance, either mechanical or electrical, has yet been devised that will detect water in places where plain common sense will not show its presence just as well. The uselessness of the divining rod is indicated by the facts that it may be worked at will by the operator, that he falls to detect strong water currents in tunnels and other free courses that afford no surface indications of water, and that his locations in regions where water flows in well-defined channels are no more successful than mere guesses. In fact its operators are successful only in regions where ground water occurs in a definite sheet in porous material. In such regions few failures to find water can occur, for wells can get water almost anywhere." The report can be obtained without charge by applying to the Director of the United States Geological Survey at Washington. AS THE LAW WORKS IN ENGLAND It was not alone in the trial of the Crippen case, but also in connection with some of its side features, that comparison with American administration of law is most striking. For example, the editors of three influential English papers were fined (and unhesitatingly paid) $1000 apiece for contempt of court in publishing erroneous statements about the case. Withal, the statements were of such a nature as would have received no attention whatever on this side of the water; compared with some assertions our papers publish in connection with any notorious trial, they were almost absurdly harmless. One paper, for instance, published a rumor that Crippen confessed after his arrest, and another asserted that on the last day site of the Panama California Exposition in 1915. He will also prepare plans for the several immense exposition buildings, which are to become permanent features of Balboa Park. It is estimated that three years will be required in which to beautify the park and build the permanent buildings, although Mr. Olmsted's term of employment is to extend for four years. San Diego is not waiting for any state or federal recognition for her exposition, but is already exploiting it with literature in all parts of the world, and also has sent J. W. Sefton, Jr., chairman of the publicity and exploitation committee of the exposition, on a trip around the world, which will consume one year, and take him into nearly every country on the globe. CRASH OF WORLDDS Scientific Theory Concerning the End of Our Planet Credulous individuals who are always fearful that some of the ends of the world predicted by sensational prohets may prove to be true will find considerable comfort in the assertion of Prof. Lowell that there is good scientific evidence for the belief that mankind will have many years warning of the great catastrophe that is destined to put an end to all things on this planet. According to Prof. Lowell's statements, there is somewhere within the remote confines of space a great mass of matter—once a world, but now dead—that is hurling itself toward our sun. In time it is certain to reach the goal to which it is tending, and when the two come together the globe on which we live is destined to cease to exist. While it would then be certain the end of the earth was in sight, there would still be ample time in which to prepare for the inevitable. If the first view of the intruder was caught at the eleventh magnitude—it could scarcely come nearer without being detected—it would not be until 27 years later that it would become visible to the naked eye, and three years more would elapse before it appeared to us as equal in size to a first magnitude star. In two years and three months more it would have come as near to us as Jupiter, and by that time it would be far the brightest star in the sky. Fortunately for our peace of mind, there is at the present moment no such dead world within dangerous proximity, and yet any day it may appear. Any day the morning newspap- FLOWER GARDEN HINTS This and next month are the best time to sow sweet pea seed. Have your seed on hand and get your ground ready to sow when the first rains come. While sweet peas do well sown at any time of the year, yet to get the best blossoms in May and June, when they will be best, the seed should be sown before Christmas. Have you set your bulbs for the spring blooms yet. If not, better get busy, that you will have the best results next spring. Your lawn perhaps needs reseeding, or perhaps a dressing of manure is all that is wanted. Before the winter rains set in is a good time to do the work. Dig up your canna and dahlia-bulbs and put them away in a cool dark place to await spring planting. BIG OAT CROP The world's crop of oats is nearly 3,700,000,000 bushels annually, according to a bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture. The United States crop for 1908, was about 900,000,000 bushels, and the United States is aligned with European-Russia,Germany and France and Canada as the principal oat producing countries. Slimeon Ford was discussing the ethics of speech making: "It was a long and tedious speech, but I listened attentively. I like to have people to listen to my speeches, you know, and turn about is fair play. Well, I am glad I did listen, because if I hadn't I'd have missed one of the best windups I ever heard. 'And now,' said the speaker, just as we all were ready to drop off to sleep, 'as Lady Godiva remarked when she was returning from her ride, 'I am drawing near my clothes.'" Western Pacific To San Diego G. D. Armstrong of Los Angeles has petitioned the supervisors of River-side county for a franchise for a steam railroad beginning at the county line near Moreno Pass, touching at Hemet, San Jacinto and other towns in Riverside county, through to San Diego via Deluse canyon, according to a preliminary survey. It is believed that Armstrong represents the Western Pacific which is seeking a terminus at San Diego. The supervisors will go over the proposed route and probably act on the petition.
