HIS SCHEDULE FILED.
Counselor Alfred Clarke Is Purged
of Contempt.

Counselor Alfred Clarke was purged Of
his contempt Of court by Judge James Z.
Murphy of Del Norte yesterday owing to
the fact that Clarke had at last made up
his mind to file the loDg-delayed schedule
of his assets and liabilities. and so did.
The schedule is somewhat long and
contains revelations of some of the prac-
tees INDUCED in by the aged counselor in
earlier days. Both sides of the schedule
seem TO be made up of promissory notes
for amounts ranging from $50 up to enor-
nous sums. The liabilities are placed at
$3.50. 234 % and consist mainly of notes
testifyiDg to Clarke's business relations
with j. +. Turner. There are notes signed
by Turner for which Clarke Is responsible,
among which the following are the most
prominent: Note signed by Turner in
favor of the Collateral Bank for S15,5
the Hibernia Bank for S11 600; the say
lngs and Loan Society. $1,000; the First
National Bank, $1,000; the Clarke Water
Company, So. 900. Besides there are notes
signed by Clarke in favor of Turner
amounting to S35O,0OO.

TO AVOID EXTORTION.
An Interesting Case of Shipment
Argued on Appeal.

There was an argument before the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
yesterday Involving a legal question of
great interest to shippers and importers.
At the beginning of last year United
States Attorney w. Cole for the Southern
District Of California brought suit to con-
iscate $50 kegs of nails which had been
consigned to the Hawley Brothers Hard
ware Company. and had been seized upon
arrival at Redondo by Collector of Gus
toms Osborne under section 4347. United
States Revised Statutes.
The section mentioned prohibits the
transportation of American merchandise
from one American port t. another in for
eign vessels under penalty of forfeiture
lie is law that has been in force many
years. The pals, however. had been
shipped from New York to Antwerp on
the Belgian steamer Waesland, and from
Antwerp they had been brought around
the Horn to RedondO in the British ship
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1t is commended by
the Government that that was violation
of the law.
In its answer the Hawley Bros. Hard
ware Company admitted the shipping of
the nails by the route described, but set
up the claim that they had been consigned
to John Z. Best 81 Co. at Antwerp, and
OhSOiCu az tUo SuotOlu-ntuSS lucIc,
and that subsequently, they had been i'm
ported back into this country under the
clause Of the Mckinley act exemptDg ar
tlcIeS OF American manufacture. so re-
turned, from duty.
But the reason for thus shipping the
goods does not occur In the papers on
record. II was to avoid paying the ex-
oroltant freight rates of the Transconti-
mental Association and the Pacific Mail,
which combination had perfect monopoly
OF overland and Panama business.
Judge Ross Of the lower court decided
IN favor of the Hawley Bros. Company.
His action was taken upon the Govern
meDts demurrer, which he overruled.
The chief point in the demurrer was an
averment that the respondent had not
sufficiently shown whether the consign-
ment had been made in good faith to Best
& Co. at Antwerp.
The Government is determined, IL posi-
bic, to establish an evasion of law, but
counsel for the Hawey Brothers Com
pany insist that under a strict construc-
ton of section 4347 no offense was COM
mitted. anG they take refuge in the free
entry clause of the Mckinley act and Judge
Stnry'S insurance test.
in reply to the Mckinley act proposition.
the Government produces section Is of the
bill, in which a forfeiture is provided fer
i'm portation in vessels other than Amer-
can and those belonging to the country
from which shipment has been made.

association. emphasized the importance
of the honey bee in its relations to agri-

expression favored apiarics at least three
miles apart. though bees do not usually
fly more than two miles in their pursuit
of honey and oftencr only /. miles.

Ii is found that in wet seasons wheat

that which is drilled. says American Cul-
tivator. Tho reason is that the drilled
wheat is usually covered too deeply.
Drilling is rcsorted To mainly for the
purpose Of distributing commercial min
eral monure with the seed Then il
pays. but even then the ground must be
rolled to prevent the drill teeth from go
ing too deeply. If all the seed is not COW
cred il does not matter. The smaller
amount planted near the surface will
make more vigorous growth and stand
the winter better.
