SUBMARINE CREW
REFUSED TO DIVE

VALLEJO. May 12.-Tuesday the
submarine boat Grampus left her
mornings at the torpedo station at
Mare island in charge of Ensign Stan
ley Woods for some maneuvers in the
back bay. A large tug, with a number
of officers on board, accompanied the
Grampus. When the proper water had
been reached for exercising the Gram
pus, it is stated that the crew of the
submarine boat refused to make a
dive.
1t is alleged that the reason for
this refusal was that during recent
maneuvers Ensign Woods made him
self entirely too busy with the deli
craft and came near sticking it PROV
first into mud bank many fathoms
deep. If there has been any official
report upon the refusal of the men
of the Grampus to work with En-
sign Woods nothing concerning it has
reached the outside world. Woods is
not popular with the men of the
submarine flotilla which he COM
mands.
The periscopes recently received
here for the submarines from the
East have not proved satisfactory,
and this has prevented the little fight
ers from joining the Pacific fleet in
maneuvers

are paid for seed not as legitimate
transaction Of business for legiti-
mate profit and in the interest of
the producer, the farmer, but for
the purpose Of throttling the inde-

troy competition in the seed mar

That such is the purpose of the

The history of the past has been
that the trusts have employed this
method to remove competition and
then, with the producer and labor

sumer, it would pay for produce
less then the cost Of production and
sell it back to the producer himself

Rabbi Max Heller preached
powerful sermon to n large con
grcgation gathered in Temple Sinai
last night. The special purpose Of
the sermon was TO better acquaint
the people of New Orleans with
the magnitude of the disasters
which have lately stricken the Jews
of Russia.
Rabbi Heller said that many Of
the men of this city were so en-
crossed with business matters that
they did not fully appreciate the
enormity of suffering that had fall
len upon the Hebrews of the East,
and it was his mission to so state
the facts that there could be no
possibility of them not being
known to the people Of this com
munity. The speaker went ex-
tensiveiy into the origin of the
massacreS, showing how they had
resulted from various economic,
social and religious causes.
BY information received Thurs
day morning from New York it is
now certain that extent Of the mas
sacres will greatly exceed the Wild
est fears that were at first held as
regards the situation.
1t now appears that instead Of
the riots engulfing eighty towns
they have occurred in Cos, that
5000 Jews have been killed and
over 100000 wounded or MANNED
for life. Owing to the great ex-
tent of the suffering, and the ur-
gent need for immediate aid, a
second appeal may be sent out to
the people of this country to res
cue the starving and homeless
Hebrews Of the Russian empire.

A western lawyer recounts a
story of a trial he once witnessed
in a Texas court. A hard looking
tough was the defendent. His
counsel, in voice apparently
husky with emotion, addressed the
jury something in this wise:
"Gentlemen, rIy client is a poor
man. lie was driven by hunger
aud want TO take small sum of
money. All that he wanted was
sufficient funds wherewitb to buy
bread, for it is in evidence that he
did not take the pocket book con
tanning $500 that was in the bu.
reau drawer. !"
AT this point the counsel for the
defence was interrupted by the
convulsive sobs Of his client.
"Here man ~ exclaimed the
judge, "why are you crying so?"
"Because, your Honor" replied
the observation-disclosures | didn't
see der pocket book in de drawer !"

NO JAPANESE COOLIES, SAYS
ANDERSON.

The fact that Japanese rice farm
ers are preparing to found colonies
in Louisiana as they have in Texas,
has started afresh the stories that
coolie labor is being imported to
the United States. To this Gene
raj Passenger Agent T. j. Ander-
son Of the Southern Pacific rail
road, enters specific denial.
"There never was the least
foundation for these stories, as we
have proven in Texas already"
said Anderson. "The Japs who
have come to this country through
the instrumentality Of the Southern
Pacific are educated men as we'll as
men of considerable means, have
invested their money in rice lands
and have become taxpayers. They
understand the cultivation or rice
to the minutest detail and with
modern American machinery have
already accomplished excellent re-
suits. Twenty years ago the great
by product Of cotton, the seed was
thrown away. Now there comes
from it immense revenues from
meal, oil, etc. The Japanese know
how to utilize the by-products OF
rice, and If our efforts carry, we
will have them manufacturing mat
ting, hats. and various woven arti-
cles. 1t is these things which will
make the industry twice as valuable
as it now is.
