that he would have to pouch s175 or
nothing.

partners had left the city and gone
to san Jose. where they had leased the

say.
Then ensued a merry chase between

President Murdoch Of the

of $500 in Garage Scheme
JUDSON C. BRUSIE
is CAUGHT ON BOND
Goes Security in $4,000
for a Ground Lease From
State Senator Belshaw

The most enterprfsIng bunkO man
who has operated in San Francisco in
many day counts as HIS VICTIMS those
two asfute citizens, William c. MUIR
dOch, president Of the western National
Bank, and JudsOn c. Brusie, who is at
the head OF the Metropolitan Invest
ment Company. Murdoch silently
nourns the loss Of $500 fn coin. and
Brnsie can sleep no more OF nights,
thinking OF the $4,000 bond he was
inreigIed into signing.
The trap into which these wary
anancfers fell involved the proposed
erection OF an automobile garage by
the swindIer at Jackson street and Van
Ness avenue. Suddenly, with pockets
hIIed with MurdocA'r cash. the suave
promoter fled the city and the police
ever all the country are now searching
for him.
The man who so easily turned this
daring trick gave his name as F. B.
Ciarkson and announced on his arrival
IN San Francisco that ne was wealthy
owner Of coal fields in Virginia and
that he vas an.zious 70 engage in bust
ness Asra
He esr'ea p.scs Of property at the
corner 80 ,sAss avenue and Jackson
stree. aided that il was the very
place tor zee an automobile garage.
Learning feh the land belonged to
state Senator c n Belshaw OF Contra
statesman and laid his plan before
him in q very business-Iike manner.
Belshaw was impressed with the
strangers bearing. and upon learning
that the latter would be willing to
pay rental Of sIee month for the
gro nd gladly consented TO lease it to
him Belshaw. however. insisted that
clarkson furnish $4,000 bond.
clarkson agreed to do this and in
due tine managed to persuade the
Metropolitan Investment Company. Of
which Judson c. Brusie IS the president,
20 go good for him. After arranging
this detail, Clarkson looked around for
some rich man or corporation TO ad-
vance him SUFFICIENT money to build q
handsome automobile garage on the
lot leased from Belshaw.
clarkson presented himself % Presi-
dent Murdoch Of the Western Ma
tional Bank and made good. The bank
er liked the display OF business intelli-
gence and confidence by the young
man and consented to advance him
$500 with which TO launch his enter
prise
clarkson thankfully accepted the
money and announced that construction
of the new building would be rushed.
He Kept his word 70 the extent of $500
worth OF work. Then ne disappeared.
Murdoch yesterday appealed 70 Chief
~ Police Dinan- to make a search for

lice have no clew Clarkson was never

ton not tally with ~ of the sure

we do as well"? as he took Marie by the arm. Then Page took Martha by the arm.
 Now, Mir Page of the village of Foxon believes that the first stage Iof love should be taken at a gallop and he commanded Martha to give him kiss. Martha called him a greenhorn or a greeny and pushed him away. Then Page tried to kiss Martha and Chittenden tried to kiss Marie. Page was desperate and tried to make goal from placement and got slapped in the face. In warding oil slap from the girl he cut her lip. The boys ran off to their team. the girls ran after them. but the boys got into the wagon first. Then the girls complained to the police.
 Chittenden denied In court that he had attempted to kiss either girl. When City Attorney Simpson asked him if he had ever been kissed he blushed to the roots of his hair. The fathers of the boys testified that they were not village cut-ups and other citizens vouched for their good repu- 'tation.
 What apparently influenced the judge in his decision was the testl- mony of George Johnson who said that he saw the boys and girls on the hill jollying each other and the girls did not call to him for protection. He thought this indicated that the girls were as willing as the boys were to firt.

The suggestion by Consul Brunot in his article on English walnuts that they be raised commercially in the southern states is practical one. Their culture is shown by him to be no more difficult than other crops, and that they can be grown here is proven by the bearing three scattered over the middle and southern states. although they are not inclined to de- velop crop north of Maryland Eng fish walnut orchards have already be- come very profitable in southern Cali fornia. However, the home market is still large and growing, as the im- ports of walnuts (mostly "English" or Juglans regia) amounted to 2l,6S4,- 104 pounds, valued at S1,469. 463. in the fiscal year 1905, and 24,9I7,02s pounds, valued at S2,I93, ,653, in the fiscal year 1906. Furthermore there is protective duty of 3 cents per pound, on unshelled walnuts aud , cents per pound on the shelled. In addition 10 walnuts, other nuts were imported to the value of Si,6sS, ,sS0 in 1905 and s5,1T9,Is2 in 1908. These figures indicate broad field for ex- pansion of the nut'growing industry of the United States.

The provincial premiers who re- gently held conference with Sir Wilfred Laurier, in Ottawa, Canada, are said to have had a satisfactory consideration of the question of modl- flying or repeating the tax on non resident commercial travellers, which is levied by the provinces of British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, and the tax on foreign travellers in Quebec Province. As the tax stands in the province of Quebec. it calls for the payment of $500 per year for those foreign travellers calling on liquor firms; a yearly tax of $100 on those calling on wholesale houses on ly; $2OO per year on those calling on both wholesale and retail houses. A six months license is sold and cuts these figures in half. British Coium- bia has a nominal tax of $l00 on all travellers representing firms outside the province. Prince Edward Island has a nominal tax of S2O on travellers who represent firms outside of the province. These three provinces are seriously considering withdrawal of this business restraining tax.

TRIED TO KISS GIRLS.
Rural "Mashers" Smiled and the : Girls on the Car Smiled Back.

New Haven, Dec 12.--There was glee in South Guilford and Foxon Monday night and gloom in Fair Haven over the result of trial in the city court when two rural mash- CTS or village cut-ups were freed by Judge Mathewson when two of the prettiest of Fair Haven's belles want ed them punished for attempting to kiss them.
 The technicalities of the law are not entertaining and the city court is not supposed to be much of a drawing card, but about every one can understand expert testimony about kissing and the court room was crowded. It looked as if a good part of the population of North Guil- ford, Foxon and Fair Haven turned out for the trial.
 The fair plaintiffs were the Misses Marie and Martha Zimmer of Fair Haven and the defendants were Le- Roy Page of Foxon and Harold Chit tenden of North Guilford. The boys are just old enough to vote and the girls. in the opinion of the boys, are old enough to be kissed. To make the case more sensational it was re- ported that political influence had been brought to bear to have the case squelched. After the boys had been repulsed by the girls they be- lieved the incident was closed, as they did not think the girls would "snitch" on them.
 Both the plaintiffs are exceptional ly pretty young women and they were becomingly attired Monday. Miss Marie wore long red coat with large picture hat trimmed with pink roses and black ostrich feathers. Miss Martha. the younger of the sis ters. wore a long gray coat. with a baby lamb fur boa and a white felt hat with an Alice blue feather stuck rakishly on the port side.
 The testimony showed that the country lads had driven to town week ago Saturday night and went to the theater to see Under Southern Skies" This play was enough to awaken what romance was in them. On their return home through Fair Haven at night they saw the Zimmer sisters on a trolley car. They smiled at the girls and the girls returned the smiles. It was shown in court Monday that the girls thought they were smiling at some other fellows. their own acqusintances. but the boys didn't know that they had iop- pIegrangers in Fair Haven. At the Grand avenue bridge the girls aliRht- ed from the car and the boys follow ed them and spoke.
 According to the testimony of Chfttenden the conversation ranged from the weather to the moon and the boys and girls told each other hor bright the moon vas and how cold the wind vas and how nice the weather vas It fs supposed that the conversation switched of ct this uoint to more personal matters. for the eirls declared that they had made a m.stzke and supposed that the two youths were Johnnie Free man and his friend The b0ys tried to explain that they were 1ust e nice e 1oAnIs HfesDAn cd hn friend anA Cn5ftoo1oo m14 Wo0J
