Admiral Bridge Declares it object ~
ureiy defensive.

Admiral Bridge Declares Its object ~
urciS defensive.
In an interview of the New Zea-
land Herald with Admiral Bridge,
commanding the South Pacific
Squadron, the following passages
occur:
"With the realization of the i'm
portance of the navy, there is too
a more complete understanding of
its objects, is there notY"
"There is. The first object I'M
doubtedly has been to render it
practically impossible for any
probable combination OF enemies
to dismember the Empire by forci-
BILE occupation of any portion of
it. In my opinion our naval pow
er has already reached tage of
efficiency and number which en-
sures that the first object has been
gained. The next object is un
doubleday to render reasonably
secure our ocean trade. Virtually
the ocean trade of the British En-
pire is about 70 per cent. of the
whole world. The immense i'm
portance of this proportion is not
fully realised even by ourselves.
But there are symptoms that this
much, at all events, is realised
that we should be in a position to
secure our great share of the trade
of the world against all risks that
can be foreseen. The most recent
increase of the navy is no doubt
largely due to desire to ensure
the security of our trade. 1t is
important that these two objects
should always be borne in mind,
because it shows that the powerful
British Navy is in no sense an ag-
gressive force"
"You look upon it then as de-
fensive only ?"
lit is as purely defensive in its
way as the batteries and fortifica-
tons that are erected upon the
frontiers of independent States.
The most recent naval programme
has been lately stated by the First
Lord OF the Admiralty, to have
been formally drawn up as far
back as November 1885. / can
answer for it, from personal
knowledge, though not formally
put on paper, it was virtually de-
cided upon fully two years ago.
This will make it quite evident
that no hostility to any particular
nation, or nations, was intended
by the large increase to the fleet
lately sanctioned by Parliament.
1t was simply the continuation of
a policy, essentially defensive,
adopted at least seven years ago."

The trial of the case of George +. PEN
nybaker against Arthur II. Braley ct al, a
suit to set aside sale of stock of the Los
Angeles Coal company on the ground that
it had been procured by fraudulent repre-

company had detailed the circumstances
under which the sale of stock to Penny
baker was made, ii. j. Stocker, civil ell
gineer, took the stand and told what he
knew about the property in question. He
said that the mine had not been properly
opened, but there was every indication of
n large deposit of coal. -Four hundred tons
of coal were being taken out and shipped
daily. The company had valuable lease
hold on a lot in this city for yard purposes.
For about $500 a spur track could be run
direct to the mouth of the mine connecting
it with the main line of the railroad and
the company was preparing to do this at
the present time. He considered that
pay profit of $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
He further stated that he had conversa-
ton with Pennybaker some two or three
months ago in which that gentleman had
expressed a desire to secure controlling
interest in the mine and when asked what
he would sell his stock for replied about IS

LARGE SHIPMENT OF OIL
Prices aud Consumption Both on the
Increase
The Enoch Talbot to Take 1000 Barrel Cargo
North on Saturday-Consign-
ments by Rail

Twenty carloads of oil were shipped to
San Pedro yesterday, destined as part of
the cargo of the tank steamer Enoch Tai
bot, now loading at that port for San Fran
cisco. The shipment is consigned to the
Arctic oil works, and will consist, COM
plete, of 1000 barrels. 1t will require
fully twenty-five carloads more to fill the
vessel, of which ten cars will be shipped
today. Owing to the scarcity of tank cars,
some delay is being experienced. On ar.
rival at San Pedro the oil is loaded into
the vessel at the rate of one car an hour,
and it is expected that she will sail Satur.
day night or Sunday morning.
The demand for oil is constantly in
creasing, owing to new consumers coming
into the field, and upon the completion Of
this shipment the surplus on the market
will be pretty well cleaned up. During De-
cember, when the price of oil ranged from
80 to 35 cents per barrel, owners were slow
to sell and the quantity in tanks accumu-
lated rapidly. Since the exchange recently
fixed the price at 65 cents, and finds a
market for all the oil it handles, this sur
plus has been rapidly disappearing. The
carload taken by the Talbot will empty
sufficient tankage to accommodate the
surplus for two months.
Besides its shipments by water, the ex.
change has during the month forwarded
twenty-nine cars to San Francisco by rail
at 90 cents per barrel f. o. b. Los Angeles.
At the exchange offices one sale was yes.
terday reported of 1910 barrels.
The Standard oil company continues to
purchase such oil as is offered at so cents
at their tanks. Offers are not plentiful
and the amount on hand increases slowly.
They have a tonnage capacity for 10000
barrels, which is now about half full. Su-
perintendent Harvey reports sales as some
what slow, but they are shipping an aver
age of one car week.
Very few new wells are now being driven
on the hills, and the supply in the old holes
is constantly dimishihI. This condition
of affairs is bound to stimulate prices, and
it is confidently expected that within a few
weeks the price will to,fch the dollar notch

MRS. PNELAN'S ORANGES

It Is Claimed That Commission Men Violated
Their Contract
The trial of the case of Mrs. Mary
Phelan vs.. Allen Bros a suit on breach of
contract, was commenced before Judge
Pierce, sitting for Judge York, and jury
yesterday afternoon. Mrs Phelan is the
owner of an orange orchard near Los
Nietos and tho Allen Bros. are comm ssion
merchants and fruit shippers. Allen Bros.
entered into a contract with Mrs. Phelan
to purchase her crop at rs cents box for
seedlings and 81 for bloods, the fruit to be
delivered at Whittier. When the crop ma
sured Mrs. Phelan notified the commission
men that she was ready to deliver the
fruit. but they would not receive it. Later
they did take 100 boxes of seedlings and
30 of bloods, and no more, for which they
paid Mrs. Phelan $lO5. The entire crop
amounted to 1900 boxes of seedlings and
100 boxes of bloods, all of which were lost
except the small amount above given, and
suit is brought to recover the value of the
crop, 1912.
The trial of the case will be continued
today.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Claims That Constable Levied an Illegal At
tachment

Claims That a Constable Levied an Illegal At
tachment
The case of Lord VS.. Yonkin, township
constable, was tried before Judge Nc
Kinley, argued and submitted. This is an
action to recover damages for the con-
stable having sold the plaintiffs stock of
cigars which were in the cigar store on the
corner of Spring and Market streets. The
trouble grew out of an attachment brought
by Haas, Baruch & Co., who claimed $S7,
George w. Walker, who claimed 500, and
M. A. Newmark, who claimed $76.73. The
suits were against II. T. Judd, who owned
the cigar stand. About the time the at
tachments were filed Mr.. Judd sold out to
the plaintiff in this case and left the city.
Without regarding this sale the constable
went ahead and seized the goods as being
the property of Judd and as answerable
for his debts. 1t is this that the row is
about. Lord claims that his purchase of
the stock was bona tide and that he has
been Injured by the seizure of the con-
stable. Lord valued his stock at $500, and
he wants this amount, with $500 damages
for the detention of the same.
