square people. Someone without fear
of conscience, care for the lives and
health of his fellows, or regard for the
name of this State fixed up a carload

California Brandy" This was stopped,
when the labels were changed TO read,

Naval officer interposed and forbade its

cheat was not California brandy, and
should therefore not go out under Gov
ernment sanction Beside he held that
the law had not been complied with
relative to goods in bond. Against this
position stood Collector Wise. who in
sisted that after the change in the label
the stuff should go on. In nthemeanwhiie
stuff should go on. In the meanwhile
Mr.. Dockery of the San Francisco
Health Department appeared on the
scene armed with brace and bit, and
managed to spill several barrels of the
decoction before the Collectors forces
could check him. The result was the
arrest of Dockery, and the matter will
go into the courts to determine Dock
erys authority. OF that the people are
not thinking. What they do wish to
know is this, is there no law by which
the public can be protected against
such outrageous frauds as this case dis
closes? Is it not possible to protect
the name and fame of California
against such tarnish and imposition
as the recited attempt has disclosed?
Will the Federal Government permit its
agencies to be used to forward such in
famous schemes? Not that the Gov
ernment customs officers are to become
inspectors to ascertain whether all
goods passing through their hands are
what they purport to be, are pure and
unadulterated, but whether when un-
blushing fraud is known, such as that
detailed above, the Government can still
be made the patient beast of burden
to carry forward the crime? The de-
cision of the Secretary of the Treasury
in this matter is awaited with special
interest, and in the While let due credit
be given to the Naval officer for the
firm stand he took in defense of fair
dealing and against imposture.

DR.. Davldson's Scholarly Paper ON "The
Lupines OF Los Angeles"

DR.. Davldson'S Scholarly Paper ON 'luo
Lupines Of Los Angeles"
The botanical section OF the Academy
of Science is composed of very charm
ing little coterie OF scientists. lovers Of
nature and of the secrets she holds in
flower and tree. Last evening at the
regular meeting of these botanists. DR..
A. Davidson presented the subject OF
1.-The Lupines Of Los Angeles.
DR.. Davidson said that differences ex-
listed between the lupines OF the north
and south, though the botany OF Califor-
MIA makes no mention OF 1t. In careful
examinations the lupines OF Los Angeles
show no marked variation in the indi
vidual species, though differing some-
what from the northern types. Then the
speaker gave In detail the differences in
the forms in Los Angeles from those de-
ecribed in 'Flora Franciscana." This
brought up most interesting discussion,
each member Of the section having some
detail Of interest to give.
Specimens were exhibited by DR..
Davidson, illustrating the chief pecu-
liarities OF the native lupines. A large
collection OF dried plants were shown,
which had been gathered by DR.. David
son In various parts Of the state. The
mountain eeashore specimens were COM
pared and described. About twenty
specimens were shown.
A resolution was passed in which It
was decided to ask the park commissions
ers to label the trees and flowers Of the
parks for the education of those interest
