Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, has
just made a San Francisco capitalist
pay $4,000. 600 for being disobIiging. The
capitalist is president of a gas and
electric company. Smoke from the
company's plant annoyed Mr.. spreck-
els and he went to the president and
asked him to abate the nuisance. The
president was extremely curt TO Mr..
Spreckels. To avenge himself for the
affront put upon him, Spreckels estab-
lished a rival gas and electric plant
at a cost of 100000 and began cut
ting rates. Prices were brought down
TO one-fourth what they We're when
the old company had the monopoly.
At length the man went to Mr.. Spreck-
els and begged for quarter. spreck-
els terms were to be bought out at
the price of s6,OOO.OO0, which were a
