Is IL Kearny or Kearney?

M. J. o'Brion In = recent Issue OF
the New York Evening Sun has the
following TO say on the spelling OF
the name Kearney or Kearny:
IL have been reading with Inter
est the lettcrs about tho origin OF
the name OF Kearny street, In San
Francisco. that have appeared In the
columns OF the Evening Sun.
There is no question but that the
street was called after General Ste
phen w. Kearny first Governor of
California.
There Is one feature OF the dis
cussion, however. in which / have
been particularly interested. and that
is the correct spelling OF the namo.
New Yorker who states he Is a re-
ative OF tho Kearny family. says he
was taught from childhood to re-
sent the spelling OF the name Koar-
Iney.' Evidently there are some things
about the family that New Yorker
has TO learn. not the least being tho
proper spelling OF this very name.
IL have for score OF years been
delying into the history OF the Irish
pioneers in the American Colonies.

BANEFUL
EFFECTS
OF JAPS
California Fruit Growers Are Now
Reapln6 What They Sowed

Baneful Affects of Japanese labor
In the fruit growing districts of Cali
fornia were illustrated by the facts
set forth in the Bees news service
from Wipters, Yo.o county, a few
days ago. Japanese are the chief re-
lance of the orchardists of that To-
cality for picking and packing their
crops. Many say they would prefer
white labor, but cannot get it when
| IL is most needed, so are obligel to
employe Asiatics.
1t appears that one of the large
growers had an offer of $1,000 re-
Gently from Japanese buyer for his
whole crop, but was unwilling to sell
II for less than $4,000, which he
considered no more than reasonable.
On the day following the owners
final rejection of the offer, his crew
of Japanese pickers demanded an in
crease Of pay from $1.25 to $3.50 a
day, which he was Obliged to grant.
being at their mercy. The circum-
stances all indicated that the pickers
were in league with the Japanese
buyer, to force acceptance of his Of
fer. And in a number of instances Il
is related that the Japanese have ac-
tually refused to pick the fruit un-
less their offers OF purchase were
taken. A general demand for more
wages is expected from the hundreds
of Japanese In the Winters district,
in consequence OF the increase the or
charist above referred to was abliged
to grant.
Like tactics were pursued In the
Florin berry and grape district of
Sacramento county by the Japanese,
to enable them to become masters OF
the siuation there. They were first
employed In small numbers to pick
berries and grapes, because of the
cheapness of their labor. But as the
white growers became more and
more dependent on the Japanese. the
latter saw their opportunity and In
sisted on more pay. Evenually they

control of the labor market and by
demanding excessive wages.
The result is that the district once
occupied exclusively by white famil-
les, each tilling a well-kept property

shipping nearly all the berries, TO the

with no regard for appearances. and
the district as a whole has suffered
greatly from the blight of the ORR /,

IL would bet much better for Sac !,

Columbia Wreck.

The action Of the Navy Department,
just announced. in installing submarine
fog signals on ten warships. five Of
tnem OF the largest class, and on eleven
golfers, following close upon the sim

puts the United States ahead in the
adoption OF this safety device.
The Lighthouse Board is practically
the parent of the invention After Prof
Henry proved the impossibility OF OBJ
tanning accurate fog signals through the
air. the board furnished the facilities
for the experiments in underwater sig

years by Prof. Lucien l. Blake and
A. B. Johnson, the chief OF the board.
Other investigators efterward came
into the heid, and the system now
adopted Is the result Of ali those early
efforts.
