HENRY WATTERSON.
Declares Himself in Favor of the
Policy of Expansion.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Patria
Club held it's first meeting Of the win
ter tonight, and entertained and lis
tened to Colonel Henry Watterson of
Louisville, the speaker of the evening.
Colonel Watterson spoke on Our Coun-
try; it's dangers and it's hopes, past
present and to come"
He declared himself in favor of the
policy of national expansion.
L am not disposed he said, ito agree
with the optimistic young American
who believes that the United States is
bounded on the north by the Aurora
Borealis, on the south by the equator,
on the east by the rising sun and on
the west by eternity, but still I think
somewhat that way.
'As for expansion, I think that what
England has done with safety, America
may attempt. If Dewey had only failed
but he did not-and where he nailed
the Stars and Stripes there they must
stay. We must either go forward or
backward, and we cannot go backward
without loss of self-respect.
1.-THE anti-annexationist ask how we
can take these new responsibilities,
so admittedly corrupt. On the other
hand we are nation of producers him
dered by overproduction. We must
have a great demand. Also, the Phil
ippine Islands are not further from
the. Golden Gate to-day than was San
Francisco from Washington when CAL
ifornia was annexed. The centralized
power of modern civilization annihilates
space and knits it together. All ma
tional expansion for us is but America

SAN JOSE, Dec Sd. H. Bryant,
who was brought here from Santa Rosa
on a charge of felony embezzlenrent,
gave bond in the sum of $1,000 this

Given Seven Years for Defrauding

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-Karl
Becker was sentenced by Judge Wal

Quentin for defrauding the Nevada
Bank of this city out of over 10000 by
means of a raised check, which he,
with three others, Creegan, who re-
Gently confessed, being the principal
accomplice, presented to the bank for
payment.
Owing to the confessions of his part
ners in crime, Becker pleaded guilty,
the prosecution and defense agreeing
on a plea for a short sentence in view
of his so doing.
Judge Wallace, though opposed to
short sentences in such cases, agreed
to abide by the decision of the attor-
neys, and imposed the sentence named.
Becker has already been imprisoned
three years, and is failing very fast, be-
ing more than 60 years of age.

WAR REVENUE STAMPS.
Answer Filed to the Suit Brought
Against Wel1s-Fargo.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9.-Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S Express Company has
filed answer to the suit recently filed
to compel the company to bear the ex-
pense of all war stamps on packages
transmitted.
In the answer filed with the County
Clerk to-day, Wells Fargo & Co. admit
the allegations of the complaint, but
deny that they are violating their
franchise or acting in any way not
according to law and equity in conpel-
ing customers to pay the war tax on
packages.
1t is contended that a decision COM
pelling the company to bear the cost
of stamp for each and every package
forwarded would mean a dead loss to
the company of S51O a day, or $3.50, 900
a year, at least 1t would be gross in
justice to the company, it is contended,
that this burden should be inflicted. On
constitutional and equitable grounds,
therefore, the company asks that the
written mandate asked for by the At
torney General be not granted.
In addition to the answer filed, a
petition is presented requesting the re-
moyal of the case to the United States
Circuit Court. The petition sets forth
that in the petitioners judgment the
Federal Courts alone have jurisdiction
over cases like the one at bar.

The schooners have been bar bound

attempt to go out the water was found
too shallow to allow them to cross the
bar The Elmore brought the two
Captains and crews of the schooners to

here and discharged. What will be
done with the schooners Is not known,
but it is hoped that in the spring freshet
a new channel deep enough to permit

DIR. HALE DOES NOT
Write Testimonials, but Does Good in
Another Way.

My husband, DR.. Hale, does not write
recommendations, but he always recon-
mends to his patients the use of Postum
Food Coffee, in place of common coffee.
We mix the Postum with just enough
egg (white and yolk beaten together)
to moisten it little, then the Postum
does not boil up around the edges of
the coffee pot, as it does when moist
ened with water alone, and we think
it tastes richer and seems clearer.
This does not take the place of contin-
ued boiling, for We have no way to get
the rich taste out of Postum except by
knowing that it has been allowed to boil
fifteen or twenty minutes after the real
boiling begins.
Many make mistake by counting
the fifteen minutes from the time they
put the pot on the stove, but this will
not do. / have never had any liver
trouble since began the use of Postum.
whereas, before, / was constantly
troubled with a sluggish liver.
