SAN FRANCISCO. July 1e.-Old
Ciaus eprecksls, who has made So
100000 by his 2b-year monopoly Of
sugar refining on the coast, has just
added 100000 to his hoard by the
sale Of the Independent Gas and Eleo-
trio company. which he started six
years ago to feed personal grudge.
At that time Spreckels had just
finished new office building which
still remains the handsomest struc-
ture in the city. Not half a block
away the San Francisco Gas and
Electric company built a big power
plant with tall chimney, which
halched smoke and SCOT all day. The
trade winds from the ocean carried
this smoke directly against the
GDreckels building and his tenants
made bitter complaint Spreckels

elegant Latin encyclicals issued dur

been wrongly ascrfbed TO him.
The Rome correspondent Of a Lon

vatican has fallen or in literary pro-

he once called upon = prelate and
gave him the subjects for several

poor priest sat up all night and was

not up to the mark. The pope glanc-

There was thunderous and ominous

had expected anything but this per-

that's the point, gentlemen. We are

am speaking now Of my clients, the
Bishops. They are deeply interested
in the development of this section. The
elder Bishop does hold his head high,
and in this case he has held 1t high
enough to smell coming prosperity in
the air. He believed 1t would come,
and that is why he bought timber lands
extensively. As for the accused gen.
tleman from the Hub Of the universe,
I must say that have known him for
several years and have never heard a
word against his character. He is not
q farmer, but a business man, and it
would be unfair to Judge him by any
other standard. He is not only bust
ness man, but big one. He handles
big things. This railroad Is going to
be a big thing for you and your chill
dren. Yes, Wilson Is all right. He
didn't fight in the late unpleasantness.
He tells the women he was too young.
Wilson is here to build railroad for
your good and prosperity, and he can't
build one where there is nothing to
haul out. If he buys up timber for his
company. it is the only way to get
them to back him in the enterprise.
Now, gentlemen of the opposition, IL
there are any here today, don't let the
thought Of Wilson's possible profit rob
you Of this golden opportunity. I live
at barley, but, as many Of you know,
this is my fathers native county, and
I want to see it bloom in progress and
blossom like the rose Of prosperity. I
want to see the vast mineral wealth

the benefit of mankind wherever Gods
sunlight falls"
Miller sat down amid much applause,

this pause ensued in which no one
seemed willing to speak. Colonel Bar

Mrs. Cornelia Ward Hall, who is

and German models are excellent. they

Vice President McAdoo has studied
the navy leagues abroad and Is a firm
believer in the efficacy of their work.
From the first he has favored the in
PRODUCTION of the idea on this side Of
the ocean. Speaking of the movement,
Mr.. McAdoo said he believed it would
be a good thing for the country, be-
cause it is an endeavor to create and
instruct an intelligent public opinion
on naval matters, with the idea of in
creasing our naval strength, or, in 9th
er words, to combat and overcome in
difference and shed light on the actual
facts of the naval situation so as to
prevent fatal complacency regarding
what we already have.
One bond of union between the men,

He is a veteran of the civil war, going

Judge Tracy is in his seventy-third

Now that the movement is launched
a quickening of public sentiment may
be looked for that will result in a few
years in an American navy that will
be able to cope with any that sails the
