A Florida orangs Trust.

NEW York, July 27.-The Mol and En-
press says: A meeting of the wholesale
fruit merchants who are interested in the
disposition of the Florida orange crop, will
be held in this city August l. Leading
dealers in oranges from the principal cities
throughout the country will attend. The
object of the meeting is ostensibly the com
bination of the large houses in the trade
for the purpose of obtaining lower rates of
freight and quicker and better transporta
ton, and the concentration of the ship
ments to two or three of the most import
ant northern cities. The real object is to
form an orange trust which will control
the entire trade of the Florida orange crop,
both packing and shipping, and contine the
sale of oranges to the members.
The call for the meeting was sent out by
one of the largest dealers in Florida or
anges in this city, and several wealthy
firms are said to be ready to furnish all the
financial backing that will be necessary.
1t is proposed to form a pool of one hundred
of the leading fruit merchants and capital
lists, each one of whom is to contribute
$4,000. This will make total capital of
81, 000,000. With this amount packing
houses are to be built at different points in
Florida, and the whole business of sorting
packing and shipping the fruit will be con-
Quoted. The entire orange crop of
Florida is to be contracted for and
shipped to members of the pool
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
Chicago, st. Louis, Baltimore, New
Orleans and possibly other cities. The
promoters of the scheme claim it is not a
trust but a cooperative arrangement for
the benefit of growers, shippers and sellers.
The growers will be asked to sign contracts
disposing of their crop on the trees at a
uniform rate Of 81 a box for five years. The
fruit will be sold at auction to the trade.
All private sales will be stopped and the
demand for fruit will regulate the price.

from r. A. N. Hawley, chairman of the

mendations likely to be Incorporated in the
report of Secretary Tracy to Congress this
fall is that all vessels built or purchased by
the government be constructed with view
to service in time of war, such as the
smaller naval vessels. Said a prominent
official in the navy department, speaking OF
this subject: 'If we are going to have a
navy, let US build it up by all means in our
power and make every vessel owned by the
government part of it, to be used for S
primary purpose in time of peace, but
effective for offense and defense in time of
war. There are probably hundred rev.
cue cutters, lighthouse tenders, and vessels
operated in the service of the fish commits
sion, coast survey, ETC., which could be
and should be so constructed as to,form a
powerful arm of the navy in time of need.
As it is, they aresbuilt without regard for
the protection of their machinery or facil
titles for carrying armament, Both of these
could be provided without materially in
creasing the cost of the vessels"
Secretary Tracy, in order to carry out
this idea of unity in the plan and organiZa-
ton of the navy has appointed board
which will formulate and report to the sec
rotary a general plan to be followed in
building up the navy; of how many and of
what classes of vessels it should consist;
how much should be appropriated each
year for construction within a reasonable
period; in what time model or ideal navy
should be completed; what will be the
probable deterioration by wear and
tear, and how great an expendi-
ture will be necessary annually
for repairs and renewals to overcome that
deterioration, and generally such informa-
ton as the members of the board possess
or shall be able to collect upon this subject,
to enable the secretary in his communica-
ton to Congress to speak intelligently.
Heretofore there has been no general plan
of constructing and organizing the navy
proposed or adopted, and this action of the
secretary is very favorably received by Of
fcials of the department.

Canadian Cars.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Secretary Win
dom and Assistant Tichenor, had
a conference to-day, in regard to the duti-
able character of Canadian built cars used
in the transportation of merchandise
over American railroads The secretary
subsequently said a decision had been
reached in the matter. While it is impos-
sible to obtain any information on the sub
ject, it is generally understood the depart
ment holds that cars built in Canada and
which entered the United States and
are used in general transportation over
American territory, are subject to duty,
but that Canadian cars which enter for the
purpose of transporting merchandise with
which they are laden and which leave this
country empty when the goods are
delivered, are not subject to taxation.

Pearson had no title in the property; the
will was evidently drawn before the su-
preme court decision was given. The
property claimed by Pearson was in the
Walker addition, in the lumber district, on
the south branch of the river Pearson's
father purchased the property along in
the thirties and sub-divided it, laying
out streets, etc, but in 1912 he sold It to
Samuel Walker. Walker re-platted the
land and the streets he made diagonally
crossed those laid out by Pearson. The
latter purported to have found an old
statute providing that Walkers e-platting
of the land was Illegal, and that therefore
the land, or certain portions of it, reverted
to him (Pearson). The courts upheld this
visw of the case, and Pearson got back his
lands, which descended to his son. A year
ego the supreme court decided that the
claim was invalid.
