Ed,pard de Haren Brings cfion Against
the Southern Pucifc.
SUISUN, CAL, March Edward de
Haven of Elmira, by his guardian ad litem,
Alfred de Haven, has filed suit in the
Superior Court of Solano County against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
praying for Judgment for the sum OF $50,-
900 by reason of injuries received and
alleged to have been caused by the care
lessness and negligence of the railroad
company.
De Haven was riding in wagon along
a road in Elmira crossed by railroad
track, last September. His horses became
unmanageable and ran across the track
escaping the Vacaville engine, which was
backing down, by only three feet.
Thinking the engine would strike the
front of the wagon, the boy jumped from
the back of it. He fell across the track
and both arms were crushed by the engine
amputation being necessary.
The plaintiff alleges no warning was
given, as required by the law. Being de-
priyed of the means of earning liveli-
hood he considers he is entitled to dam
ages for njuries received.

STILL AHEAD.
The Battle-Ship Kearsarge More For
midnbIe Than the Msiestic.

The Battle-Ship Kearsarge More For
midnble Than the Majestic.
Comparisons of the latest American and
British warships clearly show that our
traditional superiority in fighting force
and efficiency is still maintained. The
American Kearsarge and the British Ma
jestic are types of the most recent armor-
ciads of the first class designed in either
country. In point of displacement the
Majestic has the advantageous officers
believing that the excessive size and con-
sequent deep draught OF such ship would
make her less useful for coast and harbor
defense than a smaller vessel. In the all
essential characteristic of battery-power,
however, the American armor- clad holds
the pre-emlnence. Here is statement of
the guns carried by the two ships and the
weight of metal which each can throw at
one discharge of it's entire armament:

ARE RACING TO VALPARAISO.
An Ocean Toya0e of Steamships Upon
Which Biz Bets Are Made.

Whioh Big Bets Are Made.
NEW YORK, n. Y, March 2.-The Brit
ish steamships Kara and Coya, which are
chartered respectively by the rival ship
ping firms of W. R. Grace & Co. and Hem
enway & Browne, started yesterday on a
race for Valparaiso. Chile, each with large
cargo of general merchandise. 1t is stated
that S. w. w. Caldwell of w. r. Grace &
Co. and Mr.. Jaffrey of Hemenway &
Browne have bet $4,000 on the result of the
race, which may not be ended under sew
enty days including the time OF stopping
at ports on the route to take on coal and
discharge cargo.
The Coya is 322 feet long, or thirty-two
feet longer than the Kara, and has forty
more horsepower. Both vessels are of
steel and have triple-expansion engines.
Captain Walsh of the Kara is unfamiliar
with the Magellan Straits, and will be ac-
companied by Captain Charles Barstow,
who knows ali about them. Captain W.
w. Browne of the Coya has made frequent
trips to Valparaiso and does not need an
assistant navigator. The ships will cut off
a good many miles by going through the
straits instead of rounding the Horn.

HOCKENBERRY,s ANGER.
He VIII Sac the Selma Irrigator for
HeGry Damages.

FRESNO, CAL. March Jacob Hook
enberry, who has gained much local fame
because of his suit against G. w. Smith,
late candidate for Sheriff of this county, to
recover money loaned the aspiring politi-
clan at the time he (Smith) made his
disastrous canvass, has made up his mind
to retaliate on one of his critics. He has
declared his intention to bring suit against
Editor Vandenburg of the Selma Irrigator
for publishing statement of the case and
following it with remarks anything but
omplimentary to Hockenberry.
At what figures Hockenberry will place
damages has not been made known.
Hockenberry has put his case into the
hands of e1-Jndge Harris, and will claim
that Editor Vandenburg has personal
spite against him because he refused to ac-
cept $3.50 for a note of 1925 bought on
speculation, which Vandenburg had made
and which he had to pay in full. Hocken-
berry claims that the editor threatened to
"get even with him" at the time.

Rear-Admiral Meade made speech
about Paul Jones at a dinner given in his
honor at Philadelphia recently. Admiral
Meade said that Paul Jones represented
the ideal naval commander more nearly
than any man in historr. He summed up
his services for the Americans as follows:
"Paul Jones fought twenty-three battles
at sea and was never once vanquished. In
his various raids on the English coast
he spread the most intense alarm in
Great Britain. By his reprisals on the
English coast he compelled the Brit
ish troops in America to desist from their
atrocious system of pillage and burning,
and compelled the Kings Government
to exchange as prisoners of war the Amer
