ACQUITTED BY A JURY
Louis Briggs Speedily Cleared Of a Charge o.
Disturbing the Peace


1t took a jury just five minutes in the
police court yesterday afternoon to find
Louis Briggs not guilty of disturbing the
peace and he was acquitted and discharged
after having been deprived of his liberty
for several days on what proved to be
a charge with but slight foundation. Briggs
was arrested last week in Chinatown by
Deputy Constable James, who alleged that
Briggs had insulted his wife ana another
lady when he was escorting them through
the Chinese quarter to view the sights.
1t developed by the testimony in court
that Briggs was sitting in front of a shoot
ing gallery and that James took offense. at
him, thinking he meant to address his
companions. He turned on Briggs, and
after few words arrested him and sent
him to jail in the patrol wagon. Being
unable to secure bail Briggs has been in
Jail ever since. At the trial he was rep
a single vote of the jury to acquit him.
But the next time a deputy constable
passes by Briggs will probably hunt hole
to get into.

waters boat which will stand the swift
currents of the lower Mississippi and
the Gulf of Mexico. He expected to
find boat of this character at Paducah,
but it had been sold before he reached

Louis and could not find what he
wanted.
Speaking of the Cuban cause, Captain
Durgin said:

A WRIT OF MANDATE DENIED
No Lieutenant Governor viii Be Elected
This Year
The Term "Next Election Is Held to Mean
the Next Election for That Par
tlcular Office

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3-The su-
preme court today denied the petition of
John G. Lynch for a writ of mandate
compelling Governor Budd, in his proc
lamation for the coming election, to in
ciude a call for the election of a lieuten-
ant-governor to fill the unexpired term
of Spencer G. Millard.
The decision is a victory for Governor
Budd and a victory for Lynch, and
means that William T. Jeter, Budd's ap-
pointee to the position of lieutenant
governor, made vacant by the death of
Millard, still holds his office until 1898.
The opinion of the court was written
by Justice Temple and concurred in by
Justices Mcfarland, Van Fleet, Harri-
son, Beatty and Henshaw.
Justice Temples opinion in part is as
follows:
I'm this case each party comedies, as,
indeed, the exigencies of each requires
him to do, that the vacancy caused by
the death of Millard was one which the
governor had the power to fill.
But 1t is conceded by the parties that
upon the death of the lieutenant-gov-
ernor the governor may fill the vacancy
by appointment. This is unmistakably
within the language of section 8, article
5, which reads as follows: When any
office shall from any cause become va
cant, and no mode is provided by the
constitution and law for filing such va
cancy, the governor shall have the pow
er to fill such vacancy by granting a
commission, which shall expire at the
end of the next legislature at the next
election of the the people,
IF, however, the phrase the next cleo
ton of the people is equivalent to the
phrase the next election and we as
sumo that it was intended thereby to
create the election by which such va
cancy should be filled we would feel COM
PEELED to hold that the next election was
that in which the constitution provided
for filling that particular office; that is,
the next gubernatorial election"
After quoting decisions in support Of
this proposition the opinion continues:
1.-THE effect of these decisions is that
the term next election means the next
election for acknowledgements and
the language used in section cannot be
understood as itself directing that at the
next succeeding general election the va
cancy shall be filed.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Navel Orange and How Il Came -
This Country.

Inc NANeA OEAukG anu nov IL NAno -
This Country.
The first navel orange was doubtless
a freak OF sport. " rs horticulturists
say. To make such fruit by artifice
would be impossible. II is abnormal
even in the bud. The navel shows i'm the
bud as early as the latter can be ex-
amined under the microscope. IL may
even be traced hack to tho flower. which
Is double-though that word does not
express the idea very well, each blossom
having n secondary blossom within it.
In the developed fruit the navel is itself
"A secondary orange, in some specimens
having a distinct skin surrounding il.
The two story orange is no novelty.
A book ON horticulture published in
1912 gives picture Of the navel orange
and calls it ''pOmum Adami forum. "
This is the earliest reference known.
The blossoms rarely have any pollen. and
the fruit is usually, though not always,
scedleSs. The variety is reproduced by
budding. Where it originated is not
known with certainty. but it was prob
ably in southern Asia. Thence il was
brought TO the region Of the Mediterra-
mean and eventually diffused over the
world A lady who had travelled in
Brazil told Mr.. Saunders, chief gardener
OF the department Of agriculture. about
the orange, which she had seen in that
country. Acting on this information.
Mr.. Saunders told Star reporter that
he sent TO Bahia and secured n dozen
young budded trees. These reached the
United States in 1870, being the first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others were propa-
gated One of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now in the orange house Of the
department Of agriculture. In 1878 two
Of the trees were sent TO Mrs l. q. Tib-
bets of Riverside, Cal AT the same time
others were sent to Florida But those
planted in California fruited more quick
ly and were the first 20 attract attention.
Ii soon became evident that the climate
of that state was better suited TO the
cultivation of this variety. In Florida it
is not sufficiently productive-i. e., does
not bear freely enough to be profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though they are not
so handsome as those from California
