Serious state Of Affairs in Soda water
business.


The six soda water factories in this
city intend ITO start business on new
methods after the first OF next month,
having found that they have barely
made running expenses, owing prin-
cipally to loss of bottles. The makers
have been selling their product to
their customers for 30 cents per dozen.
The bottle containing the product cost
about so cents a dozen. AS a conse-
quence II many of the bottles are lost
the makers must necessarily by selling
their goods at a loss.
The loss of bottles has of late become
quite a serious one. This in principal
~ due to the fact that a japanese hui
said to contain about thirty-five per-
sons, has gone regularly into the bust
ness of collecting soda water bottles
and selling them back to the soda
water manufacturers.
II is said that this hui has at present
in stock 10000 bottles belonging to the
Consolidated Soda Water Works Co,
Ltd, 5000 belonging to another firm and
other large quantities belonging to still
other firms. Besides the loss of bottles,
the furnishing of extra bottles to the
dozen and the giving of special rebates
reduced the price per dozen to about "a
cents. Estimating uhe loss on bottles
at 10 per cent and the turnish.I1g Of ex-
IRA bottle at 10 per cent, the manu-
I"c'uTGrs were really selling their
product at loss,
The makers tried to remedy this by
getting a bill passed in the legislature
protecting the bottles bearing the firm
names and preventing their being
used as containers for milk, coffee, oil,
kerosene and various other things, such
as is at present the case.
On the failure of this bill to pass, the
six companies united in making special
rules for the sale of their product,
Hereafter, an authorized agent will see
that the empty bottles will be deliver
ed back, charge OF five cents being
made for each one lost. The furnishing
of extra BOTTLES and rebates will be
discontinued. These rules go into effect

Moody Files Urgent Request
For $4,000, 900 For Armor
and Armaments
IMMEDIATE PAYMENT TO CUBA
This Additional Appropriation of $780,,
600 Is Asked for the Land Acquired
for the Guanatamo Naval Station
Rapid Completion of New Ships for
the Navy-Washinston News.

Washington, Dec 24.-By reason of
the greater rapidity with which the
new ships for the navy are being ad-
vanced to completion, Secretary Moody
request for an appropriation of $4,000
600 for armor and armaments to BE-
made without delay. The last appro
priation made for armor and armament
was based on the amount expended per
month last year, which was $739. 70S.
Since July last this item has amounted
to S1,109,9So per month. and after jan
uary l the manufacturers of armor
have notified the department that a
material increase is to be made in their
output.
Secretary Moody also has asked for
an immediate appropriation of 100000
to enable the payment to be made TO
Cuba for the land acquired by the
United States for the Guanatamo ma
within a wall or fence, according to
the terms OF the treaty.
In explanation of the request Secre-
tary Moody says: The total amount
due, to be paid to Cuba for advance
rent upon receipt by this government
of the land and other property at the
station, amounts to $13L421. OF this
amount the owners of property, valued
at the commission at about s115.000
have signified their willingness to ac-
cept the valuation made by the COM
mission. The owners of the remaia-
ing property. however, have objected
to the price. and condemnation pro-
ceedings have begun in the Cuban
courts. with the possible result that the
appraised valuation will be very much
increased by its Judgment"
The sum OF 100000 was appropriate
ed to meet this expense in the last
sundry civil bill.

PLAN BOND ISSUE.
Purchase Money for Friar Lands
Philippines to be Raised.

Washington, Dec. "a. President
Roosevelt and Secretaries Root and
Shaw. had an extended conference yes
terday regarding the issue of bonds
for the raising OF money with which to
pay for the friar lands in the Philip
pines.
Secretary Root is in receipt of ca
kilograms from Governor Taft an
nouncing that the contracts for the
purchase Of the lands were signed the
previous day. The provision for pay
ment. Governor Taft indicates. is that
the government shall use diligence In
necessary surveys, examination of till
and sale Of bonds and shall consum-
mate the purchase within the period
not exceeding six months from the
date of the contract. Unless new sur
yeys shall differ materially from the
NilieSas survey. the exact amount of
the purchase price of the lands is ST.
239,7S4 The lands to be purchase
aggregate $4,000 acres.
AT the conference yesterday 1t was
determined to authorize the issue OF
81 100000 of per cent redeemable
after ten and within thirty years.
Philippine bonds. They will be offered
for sale early in January. An act OF
the last congress provided for the Is
sue of such bonds They will be ac-
cepted by the government as security
for the deposits of public funds.
Evening times-Republican., 1903-12-24

;tue of former administrations, 1t Is
very clear that President Roosevelt IS
not taking HIS cue from the tinanciers.
He is not overlooking them. or forget
ting that they have important rights
which must be protected, but he pro-
poses that they shall subordinate their
demands to the good OF the people as
d whole wherever there Is a conflict of
opinion. The public be damned" idea
finds no reflection at the white house.
The second sentence explains itself.
The president went into the Panama
matter carefully.after consultation with
his official advisers. He was convinced
that 1t was the only thing TO do and he
did II with all his might. The early
recognition of the new republic may
have had the appearance of being
hasty and considered, but it wasn't.
Whatever there was of seeming haste
grew out of the suddenness with which
the announcement was made. The
president feels that he did the only
proper thing, and that the future wiz.
fully justify his wisdom and patriot
ism. On this he is willing to stake his
reputa ton as public man.
The last utterance refers TO the pub
lie land frauds. The president has
been checking up matters with the in
terror department., to ascertain some
thing as to the caliber and honesty of
those officials who are charged with
the administration of thu land laws. He
doesn't propose to ask unusual things
In the way of ability, but will demand
to the last entire honesty. II any we'll
supported suspicion attaches TO any of
fetal, off will come his head without
more ado The land laws are to be
looked into by special commission,
and such amendments as may be nee
essary will he urged upon congress.
The laws themselves are to be admin
istered honestly and vigorously.
The policy which is outlined in the
sentences with which this article be-
gins is President Roosevelt's strongest
claim upon the people of the United
States. and will do more than any
thing else to bring about his unani-
nous nomination and later his elec-
ton The phrase. mo ticker in the
white house. may easily become one
OF the catch phrases of the campaign.
1t would make a good cne.
