His Scandal Prosecutions.

Root special counsel for Mayor Weaver.
it is probable that the mkyor will within
a few days institute criminal prosecution

District Attorney John c. Bell to take the
initiative in bringing further prosecutions
the mayor should exercise his right to go
before magistrate and carry the prosecu-
lions as far as the law will permit him.
This opinion was sent to Mayor Weaver
yesterday, and was the result Of a confer
ence held in New York last Friday. Those
who participated In the conference, be-
sides Mr.. Root and the mayor, were for
mer United States Attorney General Wayne
MacVeagh, who Is special counsel for the
committee of nine of Philadelphia; former
Judge James Gay Gordon, private counsel
for Mayor Weaver, and Julien T. Davies
and Joseph S. Auerbach.
The purpose of the conference was to de-
termlne whether the mayor should take
the initiative in further prosecutions the

time been referred to as "bandbox soldiers"

Capt ]. Walter Mitchell delivered an APP
peal to his comrades to help stimulate in
terest in and celebrate Santiago day next

not out as soldier, but as laborer.' he

every man who served in the war with
Spain to join the United Spanish War Vet
Grams.
Capt Fred w. Alexander Junior vice
commander of the Department of the Dis

unite" said Capt. Alexander, ''and make
Santiago day a gala occasion hereafter"
Lieut. Thacker V. Walker said our little
war with SPAIN it has been called,
was the greatest war In results this coun-
try ever had. 1T has changed the map of
the universe and made great world
power, and we will always remain one"
An original poem by Lieut.. Walker was
read by Mr.. Kenneth O'Connor.

PRODUCE FRrIGHTAGE QUESTION

The long conroverted question relative to freight
carrying on interurban within the city limits will
be decided very The issue been submitted to
court the point being whether the passage of electric
cars through the streets laden with market produce
constitutes nuisance within the meaning of the law
If the decision be favorable to the prosecution the
produce brought to market in closed cars specially
built for the purpose will again be hauled through the
streets on country wagons
Pending the decision 1t is not timely to discuss the
legal aspect of this question: but it is quite proper to con-
slider it from the standpoint. The con-
of public opinion, and particularly of the bust
community. expressed fully and freely in the
testimony elected in the trial
Several prominent business men, competent to pass
correct judgment in the matter testified that the car
service for produce transportation through the city is
inestimabe improvement the country truck
wagon. That conclusion logical that the
point is hardly worth discussing. Even person who
has of the produce understands at
that properly car capable of carry
ing dozen more wagon loads of produce would be
far less Objectionable than string of country wagons

MHTHUsELAHs RECORD INSECURE

Any revelation isnteresting that tends to enlighten
the mystery Of such extreme age as attained by
Methuseah and his contemporaries According to the
vital statistics Of these times the duration Of human
life In enlightened countries Is lengthening rapidly TAX
ing this gain basis Of calculation It is not dcul
to figure out how long II will be before mankind
parallels the age records found in the book Of Genesis
We may never know the secret Of longevity on
which the Biblical record is based and yet the present
day statistics point to possible solution May not the
habits and life methods Of mankind In the era of
Methuseah have made It possible prolong life even
to the limit reached? If the average old limit is
ten years longer now than It was half century ago.
as claimed by some authorities 1t would take only
few thousand years. at the rate to draw the span
Of human life out to hundreds of years.
Starting upon this hypothesis, 1t is interesting to
note the habits and conditions of life attributed to men
Of the present who have attained what we call
great longevity. This kind of knowledge we find en-
riched in facts contributed by a Brooklyn man who
passed the centennial milestone few days ago. The
is Josiah zeitln, substantial and respected
citizen who enjoys vigorous health and who expresses
confidence that he will live at least another twenty
five years.
The aged Brooklynite has freely acquainted the pub
lie with the hygenc maxms which he has followed and
which he attributes his present physical condition
Here they First, never have doctor and do not
go into drug store; second don't third never
be in hurSy; fourth eat little meat, especially in
early life; fifth, be sure to sleep eight hours DAY;
SIXTH when ycu reach the of 80 do as you please
But the maxims do not tell the whole story. 1t is
said that Mr zetln smokes several strong cigars and
of Russian cigarettes every day and drinks both
beer and whisky in liberal quantities"
Whether that practice has continued long is not
explained but probably dates only from his nneeth
birthday. the do you please period Of e according

accepted theory that ntoxicans and narcotics harm

patrarehs had any knowledge of cigars, and certainly
they knew nothing of Russian cigarettes And again.
other centenarans whose habits said to have been
gagged by hygienic maxms, claim to have abured all
kinds Of stimulants.
AS the proper line of habit for the attainment of
extreme age is an open question therefore, mankind
will have to pin faith to the statistical facts and the
promise they give that the human lifetime is stretching
gradually toward the record of 969 which old
Methuselah scored 81

A MISFIT STATE BOARD

In recent circular issued by the state board of
trade some statements are made that would be surpris
ing if they emanated from amost any other source.
That alleged state Institution is known in Southern
California chiefly for its mpotent efforts to belitte
everything pertaining this end of the state The
which the goes in this line of endeavor
may be understood from this reference the orange
industry:
"In this region Central and Northern California;
there large and profitable citrus groves, and the
oranges ripen from four six weeks earlier than they
in the SOUTH and the fruit is free from scale;
by of these conditions it brings better prices
and the investment being less and the prices greater
the profits much in favor of the northern grower"
This state board of trade circular is devoted excu
sivey to The Citrus Fruit Area of the State" but
entirely ignores the southern product except to indicate
its inferorty that of the central and northern
tons The Riverside Press, recognized authority in
matters pertaining the citrus fruit industry minces
that circular in this fashion:
"At the present time practically 95 per cent of the
citrus fruits produced in California are raised and
shipped in the counties which mentioned in
this circular. And prove that by the state board
of trades annual report 1t says page S) OF the
3S574 carloads of citrus fruits S6,S5S from the
southern part the and 2216 from the northern
and central portions (The carloads are figured ten
tons to the car, not actual cars) You figure that
for yourself; the 2216 the section that
state board of trade is exploiting citrus
belt is only per cent and fraction of the total of
Ss574"
only because of the pretense of official assertion
that the statements made by the socaed board of
trade worth noticing The glarng Misrepresentation
evident every person who has any knowledge what
of the plain facts.
