RESULT OF WAR

FRESNO, Cal, Sept. 2l.-The
war between Russia and Japan has
had an Unforeseen effect upon the
raisin industry of California and
the owners of vineyards in this
part of the state have great diff

tions arising from the lack of Jap
anese grape pickers. Japanese are
almost exclusively used for picking
and sorting the grapes used in max
ing raisins. In former years there
was always an abundance of Japan

war broke out SO many of the men
returned to Japan to serve in the
army against the Russians, that

extremely scarce on the coast. Now.
that the picking season is on. the
growers experience great difficulty
in securing the required help for
bringing in the harvest. The
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
railroads have been appealed to, to
allow reductions in the fare of la
borers on the coast who are willing
to come here to work in the vine
yards. The result, so far, has not
been satisfactory.

The Japanese, with their imita.

that good up-to-date modern presses

Daboical fortunes.
Sometimes, after nightfall, the
Apaches prowl the streets of their
own districts, looking for victims
to capture and torture. AS soon as
one is found, whistles summon the
entire band; and then with a mock
bow one says, Permit me to in
troduce my friends. You have heard
of us; we are the Apaches of Belle
Vile" The victim is taken to the
headquarters of the band.
"Sit down." orders the chief. The
rest of the Apaches, brandishing
cleaning blades, gather round in
ring. Now drink" A quart bottle
of absinthe is forced to his mouth.
At the first gulp of the neat liquor
the wretch gasps. A vigorous kick
administered in his stomach warns
him that no trifling will be tolerat-
ed. Drink" the tormentor com
mands. And at every pause for
breath and as the victim, sinking
more and more under the baleful
influence of the drug, lets the bottle
half slip, the kicks in the stomach
are renewed, varied by pricks OF
poignards in the chest and back
and blows from loaded sticks and
American knuckle-dusters.
When complete unconsciousness
has come the archinquisitors end
their fiendish task by stripping
their victim, decorating his body
with cuts and stabs, opening his
checks and cutting off his nose or
ears, and tearing out either or both
of his eyes. Finally they thrust
through his lips a knife blade on
which they stick paper marked
"The Apaches." If it were not for
the bloody evidences and the i'll
omened words, the story would
pass as dream of the maddest de-
lirium of absinthe drinking.
Police BaffIed.
A cahby has been murdered and,
in attempting to rescue him. three
policemen have been disabled at
O'Clock in the afternoon on the bou-
levard because the cab happened to
stop near spot where some
Apaches were standing. AS usual,
the Apaches escaped unframed.
The Paris police are powerless to
put an end to the Apache outrages.
Occasionally arrests are made, but
the band grows more rapidly than
it can be broken up.
When there is little business do
ing, the Apaches often divide into
rival bands and hold a pitched bat
tie in a deserted square in the dead
of night, just to keep themselves in
practice. Knives flash and pistol
shots rcsound, the sport being car
ried on in earnest, and rarely less
than two or three cOrpses are left
to mark the scene of the fray.

Canada Southern was built. In 1859,
his first wife having died, he married

south as New Orleans. At one time he
was in partnership with the famous
Spectator George Law, and they
owned a line of clipper ships which
were the forerunners of the transat-
lantic liners of today.
When he was thirty-five. Cornelius
was worth $4,000 It had always been
a favorite theory of his that no man
should accumulate more than $50. 900,
but his prosperity had landed him con-
siderably beyond that limit and he
revised his views, making the sum
$4,000. At this time also he began to
be known as commodore. In 1914 he
opened line of steamers to Nicaragua
as link in the transisthmian route tc
California, which had begun to attract
attention. The venture was not es-
pecially successful, but in 1850 the year
following the discovery of gold in Cali
fOrnia, Cornelius established a line OF
boats to Aspinwan in opposition to the
Pacific Mail Steamship company. which
precipitated a lively war. 1t ended in
a compromise, Vanderbilt obtaining

the route and the rival line retaining

unsatisfactory. He preferred to settle
his own disputes. and his methods of
doing so were sometimes exceedingly
drastic.
It was about this time that the IA
nous struggle between the commodore
and Daniel Drew occurred, the bone Of
contention being the control of nayi-
cation on the Hudson river. Drew was
plucky and held his own for long
time and fought with all the resources
that his Erie railroad and rival river
line put into his hands. but he lost and
died a poor man. In 1856 Vanderbilt
set afioat his famous line of steamers
between New York and Havre. This
venture was a great success, but the
commodore had become so interested
in railroading that transatlantic navi-
cation lost its charm for him, and he
gave it up. Very early in the history
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad Mr.. Vanderbilt be-

seemed desirable to him was to dou-

possible. He was also exceedingly
chary of risk, and he realized that

money in railroads.

lived in a house built for them on the

Vanderbilt never became reconciled to

that his genius for expansion required

Even in the days when her father was

velts' family connections gave them the
entree to the most exclusive social cir
cles of the capital and the young wo-
man has been familiar with the pune
tilious machinery of official etiquette
for many years. but it has made faint

spirit. She could not by any stretch

tive young woman. with a fresh blond
complexion. girlish figure and sup
pie and erect carriage that gives her
an Individual grace and aplomb which
are distinctive.
In her love for the outdoor life and
activity and readiness to assume the
initiative Miss Roosevelt is almost the
counterpart of her father. There is no
doubt whatever that she has made the
most of her opportunities to see life in
its legitimate phases. and she has ac-
comp1ished it with a cleverness and
verve that have been the admiration
of the world. It is one of the most con-
vincing proofs of her fathers conf
dence in her level Medicines that he
has permitted her to go about the
world so freely on her own response
bility. and it is greatly to her credit
that she has been able to confirm his
judgment in such a positive manner.
The attention she received on the re-
cent tour would have turned the head
of the average American traveller. Had
she been the daughter of an emperor
she could not have been welcomed with
greater pomp and circumstance. It
was a hopeless task to convince the
eastern mind that the young woman
who was the daughter of the ruler of
the greatest republic on earth was sim
ply an American girl with no official
position whatever. When the steamer
carrying the party reached Yokohama
she was one of the first to land and
