Qouuced by Judge Dana in the d1strlct
court today
A motion was made by Pigs attor-
uey for a new trial some time ago ana
as an incident to it they attacked the
credibility of the testimony OF Leona
larson a young girl who frequentsd
the club and who testified emphat-
caITy that Bob Pigg had sold drinks,
cocktails included. TO herself ana
girl named KIttie Eide An affidavit
was presented from Kittie Eide to the
effect that this testimony was IaIse as
she did not indulge in the use OF 1ntox-
icatfng liquors
In denying the motion for a new
trial Judge Dana said that great
many of the grounds on which II was
urged were technical and did not in
dictate that the substantial rights or
Pigg had not been protected
There Is one serious point raised IN
this motion for a new trial. cont1n aeo
Judge Dana, and that is in regard TO
the sale Of the cocktails 1t is set up
that there was no evidence produced to
show that cocktails were an intox1cat-
ing drink. or liquor There was no evi-
dence on this point and cocktails DO
not come within the language OF the
statute as regards to what are intox1-
eating drinks. That much is true
But there was evidence to snow
that these cocktails we're intoxicating
and it was not necessary under these
circumstances in my opinion, 10 show
what were the constituents of the
cocktails. There was direct evidence
ia show that these cocktails had an
intoxicating effect on the Eide girl
and that to my mind is sufficient It
does not make much difference if these
cocktails were two parts water and one
part white rock or what their eIe-
ments were If they produced an intoxi-
eating effect

MONEY MAKING
IN PHILIPPINES

G4amiltOn Wright in LesIie's Weekly-)
The cali Of the Philippines is for
capital. and there Is no country where
its investment win yield a richer re
turn. Think Of what can be done In
the great staples, tobacco. sugar and
hemp! On October sth OF last year
there had been shipped into San Fran
cisco from Ioili some eight thousand
tons Of sugar. on which was paid a
duty OF y213,249. Sugar can be
brought from Manila to San Francis
co for three dollars and a half tom.
II can be brought from Manila to New
York in steam vessels for from TWEEN
ty-seyen to twenty-nine cents a hun
dred pounds, or about the same rate
as between Omaha and Chicago. Sugar
can be produced in the Philippines for
less than a cent a pound. The fact
that eight thousand tons of sugar WIS
produced by the primitive methods
in use in the Philippines, shipped
across the Pacific, paid a high tarin
and sold in competition in this coun-
try indicates what will be accomplish
ed with more modem methods.
Think of what can be accomplished
in tobacco! In the wonderful Caga-
van valley of Northern Luzon, one of
the most fertile valleys in al! he
tropic Orient, the land produced IN
der the tobacco monopoly Of The
Spanish Government often, It is said,
three thousand pounds Of tobacco an
acre. which brought seventy-tive cents
a pound In Rotterdam. Now, after the
adjustment Of the monopoly when
the natives without supervision pro
duce it themselves, they produce but
one thousand pounds to the acre, at
about fifteen cents pound. The en-
tire cost of producing tobacco is mol
fifty dollars an acre. In Spanish days
the islands produced vast wealth fol
Spain; but the people were continu.
ally ground down. The local bosses
forced the people to work for them and
always kept them in debt. Now, IN
der the American pioneer, the native
is getting cash for his work. somethina
he never had before.
