RtMARKABLE END OF SEARCH All Efforts to Find Stone Proved Unsuccessful Vntil the Sher. iff Got His Peculiar Hunch. bervromblo. At the request of the de fendants" uttoneys, U.e u.irm. v,':;s deferred until Saturduy morning at 10 o'clock. Baney Is charged with larceny, but the case against him will probably be not so severe as that against the broth ers. It seema the diamond was handed to him by one of the brothers and he kept it until the sham fight 'was over when he returned It to Jay Savior. It is said of Baney that he Is the son of an eastern millionaire, and that rather a wild career resulted In domestic dif ferences that brought him west. He has been employed at one of the local vaudeville houses as stage manager. He has a pleasing appearance. The Saylor boys have been engaged in rail road work. Jay as a checkman and Jesse as a brakeman. The twins look to be about 26 years of age, perhaps less. They will remain in jail pend ing1 the outcome of the preliminary hearing on Saturday. KNIGHTS BEGIN CONCLAVE. Preliminary Meeting Addressed by Gov. Pardee and Mayor Schmiti. San Francisco, Sept. T. The prelim inary meeting of the grand encamp ment of the Knights Templar was held today. The opening address of wel come was delivered by Governor Par dee of California on behalf of the Knights of the state, who was followed by Mayor Schmlts on behalf of the Knights of the city of San Francisco. The routine work of the llfst meet ing consisted of appointing committees to handle the many questions which will come before the body. The reports of the officers on the current events of the week and also upon the work of the last three years were received and re ferred to the committees. The grand masters of the priory of England, Ireland and Wales were pres ent as Invited guests. Dr. Linton's missing diamond was found yesterday by Sheriff Linville In a cavity In a back tooth of Jay Say lor, one of the three men arrested foi robbery. The discovery was a remark able one and the sheriff has since been enjoying a quiet little laugh at the ex pense of the young man. Saylor and his twin brother Jesse are held to be responsible for the rofa, bery. Dr. Linton went down to the row a few nights ago and there lost the diamond. The stone Is small and worth perhaps not more than $25. The two brothers are said to have hatched up the scheme for acquiring the diamond and started a sham fight. During the progress of the encounter they col lided with Linton, and when he emerg ed from the melee his short front was gone, likewise the stud. The Saylor boys and H. D. Baney were arrested for the robbery. The diamond could not be found at police headquarters, although all of the men were carefully searched. Baney told the officers that Jay Saylor had the stone and the man was critically searched. He has a wooden leg, and the police even went so far as to ex amine the false limb. But the stone was not to be found. Baney finally told the officers that he thought he could recover the diamond if tney permitted him to talk with Jay Saylor, and the proposal was accepted. After his conference he stated to the officers that the stone would be returned If the three men were given their liberty and allowed to leave the city that night. This sort of compromise was not satis factory and the proposal was turned down. Sheriff Linville knew one of the men had the stone and determined to find it. He examined all three of them, and finally came to the conclusion that the' diamond was in the mouth of one of the trio. He went to the prison yester day and called out Jay Saylor. "Now, young man, open your mouth; I want to see how old you are," com manded the sheriff. Saylor did not fancy the Idea, but what the sheriff says to prisoners goes and the command was complied with. J In the back of Baylor's mouth there is New Ybrk, Sept. 7. Silver, 56c; a hollow tooth, and In the cavity the Union Pacific, 11.01'; preferred, 93c. diamond was seen sparkling.

The color-blind do extraordinary things at times. An officer in the navy went one day to buy material for t coat, vest and trousers. He bought blue coat and rtd trousers, believing them of the same color, An admiral painted a landscape, and was very proud of his performance; but he made the trees red, thlnkliur It was the same color as green. "A postorflee clerk was always short In his accounts, because h could not distinguish the different colored stamps. And a sedate Quaker has been known to buy a green coat for himself and a red gown for his wlfo, thinking they were both brown. "If you see a man In the street with i preposterous display of colors, char itably believe him to be one of the color-blind. "Just why the eyes of women are less defective In matter of distinguish ing colors than those of n man Is one of the things In nature that Is unexplained."

The case of the state against Alex Grant, affecting the validity of tne Oregon fishing license law, is to be tried in the Justice's court today.

In this respect I beg to state thai all the other seiners and trappers who operated on the Columbia river this past season south of the main ship channel, as defined by the government engineers, complied W'lth the statutes The seining outfits in the Immediate vicinity of Mr. Grant's grounds re ferred to as having complied wlth the law are: Enyart & Cook, Columbia Fishing Company, George Kaboth, Miller Sands Fishing Company, Colum bia River Packers' Association, Barrel Beacon Seining Company, Sanborn- I Cutting Company, Tallant-Grant Pack ing Company, Taylor & Welch and George M.

An oculist, while discussing some of the various defects of the human eye which are not noticeable to the ordl nar observer, has this to say about color-blind people: "The world must be" a curious place to color-blind people, of whom there are 40 males and three females to every one thousand people. Some are blue yellow blind, and everything seems either red, green or gray to them; oth ers are red-green blind, and all things appear to them to be yellow, blue or gray of various shades, and others again perceive no distinction of' color at all, but the whole world wears an unchanging anpei. ct Cu'.l gray.
