A SHAKE.UP
IS PENDING
Factions Striving forCon.
troll of the Record
A WILD RUM0R DENIED
1t Is Said That the Scripps Syndi.
cate Would Like to Get Rid
of the Property

During the past few weeks a number OF
stories have been current as to the possibility
of shake-up in the Record establishment.
Some versions have been to the effect that
the paper was to be moved bodily to San
Francisco where Editor Blades has recently
undertaken to show the true principles OF
journalism after his purchase of the Report.
The management is reported to have de-
nounced this as a vile SANDER. The real
facts are said to be that shake-up on the
paper is imminent, and this arises from the
report that the story that the journal is the
property of the Scripps- McRae syndicate is
Incorrect; that it is really the property of
Edward Scrpps, who lives in San Diego,
and has backed his relative, Paul Blades, in
his venture here. Mr.. Scripps is said to
have large sack, but the question is how
long he will feel like putting up for the bills
that come in, after being saddled with an
expensive venture in the north.
The report that Poker Davis is the holder
of large block of stock has not been veri-
fled, and is only given for what it is worth
The present management obtained CON
troll some three years ago, and Mr.. Blades
has since been trying to carry it along, how
successfully is not known to the Public, but
probably to his backer Mr.. Scrpps.
The paper was formerly located in little
office on First street between Spring and
Broadway, but later, at considerable ex-
pense, was moved to its present offices on
Broadway between Sixth and Seventh. The
cost of this move is said to have been less
than a million dollars.
Mr.. Blades, besides attempting to carry
the Record, and the Report in San Francis
co, also has on his shoulders, vicariously, it
is said, for Mr.. Scripps, the San Diego Sun.
the cost of even very meager telegraph
service must be considerable, and these
things often determine the success or failure
of a newspaper venture. The utmost econ
omy is shown in the conduct of the depart
ments of the paper, the salaries paid to even
competent men being regarded as less than
low.
While no one seems to be striving for the
control of the paper, the talk about the posi-
bic shake-up continues, hut no solution of its
probable fate can be guessed at other than
that the plant may be moved to San Fran
cisco, if it should be determined to stop pub
lication here
Mr.. Blades has made many attempts to
improve the paper, with varying success.
only one of which, the elimination of the
editorials occasionally, meeting with the
widest approval A short time will tell
what basis there has been for the gossip
about the sheet.

choking at the throat. During the trial Ct
Halle and Casner, the conspirators in the
robbery, Bennington had lingering hope
that his turning states evidence might save
him from the consequences CT his crime, but
Of late ne has known what the penalty
would be and was, therefore, not unpre
pared for the sentence.
With Bennington's removal to San Quen-
tin the Orc Grande train robbery, which oc-
CURED April Goth last, will pass into the
criminal annals Of the state. Halle and Cas-
ner, who planned the hold-up, were SEN
fenced to San Quentin for two years each
for conspiracy. One of the young men who
tried to execute the plan, Toll Jones, %
years old, was killed at the scene Of the
robbery by the express messenger and the
other, Bennington, aged 10, has been SEN
fenced for life. The registered mail stolen
by the latter and hidden in the sand on the
desert, has all been recovered and the
money returned to the owners. 1t is gen
orally understood that Bennington will be
recommended to the clemency of the pres
ident, in order that the sentence may be
lightened, owing to his youth and his evil
dence on the witness stand, which led to the
conviction of the older men who planned
the robbery.

ZANTE CURRANTS
Will Not Be Allowed to Compete With
Raisins

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-Yesterday
Senator Perkins, Representative Barham
and Hugh Craig called upon President Nc
Kinley to make final protest against the
reciprocity treaty with Greece removing the
duty on currants.
President Mckinley assured his callers
he would protect CALIFORNIA; interests, and
that no such treaty will be made.
President Mckinley first urged the as.
surance Of the State Department that there
was no competition with native products,
and when the evidence as brought out in
the courts was adduced, he gave his promise
that the Zante matter would be left out OF
the treaty, if one was concluded. One Of
the most peculiar facts in this connection
is that the volume OF imports of Zante cur
rants has not diminished since the pas.
sage of the Dingey bill, with its tax of
cents on Grecian products. 1t is true, how
ever, that the nature of the importations
is different, the goods now being sent in
are clean and ready for market.
