"Come with me-"
M. verduret and Fanferlot found
Clameran in one Of the private cells
reserved for dangerous prisoners.
He had on a straitjacket and was
struggling violently against three men
who were striving to hold him while a
physician tried to force him to swallow
a potion.
"Help" he shrieked. "Do you not see

NJ. verduret took the physician aside
and questioned him about the maniac.
"He is in n hopeless state" replied
the doctor. "This species of insanity Is
incurable. He THINKS some one is trying
to poison him, and nothing will per-
suade him to eat or drink anything,
and as 1t is impossible to force any
thing down his throat he will die Of
starvation after having suffered oil the
fortunes of poison"
NJ. Verduret, with q shudder, turned
to leave the prefecture, saying to Fan

"Mme. Fauvel is saved. God has
punished Clameran."
"That doesn't help me-" grumbled
Fanferlot. "All my trouble has been

LEGAL POINT OF VIEW
Rights of Capital and Labor De-
fined by Missouri Court
of Appeals.

St Louis. Dec. 23.-"Capitalists have
a right to do as they please with their
money, so long as they do not become
public charges.
"A man without capital may labor or
refuse to labor. so long as he keeps out
of the Doorhouse.
Capitalists have the right to COM
bine capital in productive enterprises
and by lawful competition drive indi
vidual producers and small ones out of
business.
"Laborers and artisans have the right
to form unions and fight this combi-
nation of capitalists by lawful means"
This statement of the right of com
binatiOn on the part of capital and
labor was handed down by Judge c. c..
Bland, of the court of appeals, today
in a decision in favor of Joseph E.
Walsh, who sought an INDUCTION to
prevent members of the Master Plumb
ers' association from combining in the
refusal to sell him supplies because hd
was not a member
Judges Marclay and Goode concurred
in the decision, which was a reversal
of a decision in Judge Woods court.
The case was remanded to Judge Wood,
who denied an injunction asked for by
Walsh, and the right of answer is left
to the associat ton
The appellate court, while holding
that the association should be re-
strained. as Walsh, asked, refused TO
dissolve the organization, as he had
requested in his petition. 1t was stat
ed that the association was a lawful
one.

COMFORTABLE HOMES
Can Be Built in California Cheaper
and Easier Than Elsewhere.


There is no part of the world better
adapted by all that nature can do for
comfortable rural homes than Cali
fornia
1t is sometimes said that to live in
California one must be wealthy. On
the contrary there is no other place
where family Of moderate means can
make a living more easily, or where
they can enjoy one-half the luxuries
that are within their reach in Caiifor-
MIA. 1t certainly is not wise for fam
lily to land there with nothing ahead
One who has not been thrifty enough
to accumulate a little in other places
would hardly succeed there. But lit
tie capital. however, is required. A
small tract of land, ten or twenty
acres, is ample; few acres in vine
yard and a few in orchard, both care
fully selected in regard TO varieties,
and in from three to five years there
is assured an annual income Of $1,500
to $4,000. The work should. and can,
be done ali within the family, and this
income will, therefore, be nearly all net
Expensive buildings are not necessary,
as the weather is always mild, life in
the open air being entirely agreeable
for ten months of the year.
During the time the orchard is com
ing into bearing, enough can be raised
between the trees TO Iuru1Sn IaIllly

fruit crop to harvest on the home

find pleasant and remUnerative labor
upon places already in bearing, and
this may add materially to the income.

CLAYTON SCANDAL
B0BS UP ONCE MORE

Washington, Dec Ex-senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania today forwarded 10
President Roosevelt some evidence bear
ing uoOn the charge made last winter
against Ambassador Clayton. the repre-
sentative of the United States in Mexico.
The new evidence is in the form of at
fidavits that Ambassador Clayton is the
owner of certain specified shares in the
Carmen Mining company Philadelphia
corporation doing a mining business in
Mexico The charges were received at
the executive offices but, as is the case
with all such matters, they were trans
mitted at once to the state department
Whether the additional evidence submit
ted by Senator Penrose will result in the
reopening of the case, which attracted
considerable attention in and out Of con
sress last winter, is not known.

gone to extraordinary lengths in their
resistance Of diplomatic efforts of for
eign governments to secure justice for
their subjects. A notable case is that
of Salvador Recently United States
corporation obtained. after arbitration.
a judgment against the government of
Salvador. The verdict was received
with intense Indignation in Salvador
and 50 intense was the anti-foreign
feeling excited that a law has been
passed within the last few weeks max
ing it a criminal offense, and one 10 be
heavily punished, for any Saivadorean
10 give any evidence before a court in
behalf of foreigner claiming damages
against the Salvadorean government.
The Commission Plan.
This doctrine will be on trial be-
fore the arbitration and because Of its
vast Importance if President Roosevelt
appoints a board he viii see that the
members are men of high abilities.
1t is known now that some members of
the cabinet are opposed to referring the
matter to The Hague tribunal for these
reasons; In the first place they have no
desire to submit the Monroe doctrine
to the arbitration of any non-American
tribunal not even excepting the au-
gust and eminently fair tribunal of
The Hague They very much prefer
that If this doctrine is to be the sub
ject of arbitration, or if it is even
brought in Incidentally that American
influences shall pass on it. Not that
the fairness of The Hague arbitration
is impeached but, as most Of them rep
resent European and monarchial in
terests, it is realized that their train
ing may be regarded as unsympathetic
where they are required to deal with
such an essentially American subject
as the Monroe doctrine. 1t IS true
that on its face the arbitration proposal
contains nothing that indicates that
this doctrine is to be attacked, but so
complex and numerous are the ques-
lions which will come before the arbi-
traitor that it is apprehended here that
the famous doctrine scarcely can be
kept from consideration.
Would Save Time.
Another reason that animates these
| cabinet officers in this inclination to-
| ward acceptance is their conviction
that an inordinate length of time would
| be consumed if the issue is taken be-
| fore The Hague tribunal. The ma
! chinery is sufficient, but pOnderous and
| difficult TO put in motion. First, there
/ must be arranged a basis of arbitra-
! ton, then arbitrators must be selected
| by the parties to the case and these IN
turn must choose an umpire or umpires
and while all this is going on the
| blockade would continue with its ever
| present danger of active war and
| blOodshed that might render void all
attempts at arbitration. On the other
| hand, if the president undertakes the
/ same, he can get rid of all red tape and
| start the work of arbitration within a
/ few days.
