Angeles by Courts
Order

to San Francisco to bring back to
Los Angeles Mrs, A. Names and her
7-year-old daughter Marguerite is ex-

the appearance of the mother and
child in court to determine if the
former could be properly entrusted
with her daughters care.

court in violation of this order, and a
warrant for the return of the child
was secured by those who had brought
the guardianship proceedings.
The child was held in San Francisco
by request of Sheriff Hammel, and the
humane officer was sent north on Sat
urday to bring her back.
Elgueta at the time he shot the lit
tie girl was killed by officers.

For practical wear the small girl
needs simple dresses, and those made in
guimpe effect are especially popular at
present-as, indeed, they are likely to
be for some time to come. A little
gown which is at once smart and prac-
tical is illustrated. The blouse is easily
made, being simply gathered at the
simulated yoke line and blouses slightly
at the belt. A novel arrangement of
suspender bretelles forms the waist
decoration, and is easily applied and as
easily removed. If desired the frock
may be cut away at the neck and an
open neck or guimpe effect obtained.
The sleeve, too, may be made in full
or shorter length, as preferred, being
finished with a pretty cuff in either
case. The skirt is a straight gathered
one. attached to the waist in the usual
way. For dress of this type serge is
excellent, while mohair and other light
worsteds are equally suitable. To make
the development shown a checked wool
was used. The 5-year size requires
four yards of material twenty-four
inches wide.
4S2S-Seven sizes, 2 to years
The price of this pattern is 10 cents.

10000 NEW RIFLES
ROUTED TO MANILA
TRANSPORT CROOK TO TAKE
VAST SUPPLY OF ARMS TO THE
PHILIPPINES FEBRUARY 20.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 9.-Ten
thousand more rifles have come from
the Rock Island arsenal for ship
ment on the transport Crook to the
Philippines and they will be forward
ed February GOTH The arms are in
one thousand boxes and are of the
new Springfield pattern, which was
adopted some time ago by the War
Department to succeed the old Krag-
Jorgenson model. The new rifles are
of 3O-caliber, are lighter, and in the
opinion of soldiers who have already
used them, far superior to the former
arms.
Like similar shipments that lately
have come from the East for the
Philippines, the rifles have been quiet
/ ly brought from the arsenal and moth
ing has been said about their coming
But a pile of a thousand boxes Of
guns is not a small item, and their
/ presence on the army transport dock
has not passed unnoticed.
They will be placed in the hold OF
! the Crook this week, along with a
! shipment of 100000 rounds of cart
| ridges that will be sent to Manila by
this vessel. There may be more
| freight of the same character for the
/ transport, but officials of the Quarter
masters department claim to be in
ignorance of anythingq of this kind.
The shipment of ten thousand rifles
by the Crook swells the number Of
new arms of this kind going forward
this year to 26000 or 10000 more
than there are troops in the archi-
pelago. This is taken as evidence that
/ the Government plans to store sup
plies at Manila on an extensive scale,
or sufficient for a force greatly in eX-
cess of the present strength Of the
army there.
And while army supplies have been
going forward, navy stores and big
guns as well as submarine mines,
have been shipped and are being put
in place.
The German steamer Eva arriving
here this week, is now at China Basin
wharf taking in supplies for the Gov
eminent in the Philippines, an item
being powder. All the arms and am
munition sent to the islands recently
has been forwarded through this port
and since the first of the year have
totaled 10000 rifles, 1920 rounds OF
cartridges and the large quantity Of
powder now arriving for the steamer
, Eva.

1.-THE crop of 1907 somewhat overran
the estimate, principally on the Out
siders' cane which we are not III po-
sition to make even an approximate
estimate of, owing to the way it IS
scattered around.
I'VE have no apologies to make; we
were pleased to have the increase.
"The crop of 1908 has an estimated
area of 4O72 acres including the out
side planters; this is in the neighbour
hood of $50 acres more than for 1907
crop; although we have an increased
area we do not expect to get so large
a crop as last year owing to the late
plant and ratoons, necessarily follow
ing the delay caused by the boiling
house being burned down in 1906. On
this matter I would beg to refer you to
my last years report, which 1 believe
still holds good. In my estimate the
fire cost us from $15O,OOO to 100000.
"The crop of 1909 was got in in fair
ly good season and both plant and RAJ
ICONS look we'll; the season has been
too wet for best results in the upper
fields, in many instances the young
plant being under water for days at
time, the result of having to pillow and
cultivate during the wet to get rid OIL
the weeds. The area under cultivation
for this crop IS as under:
Plantation plant, 1852 acres; plan
tation ratoons, 1879 acres; Outsiders
plant and ratoons, $500 acres; total
3S74h acres; with possibly 70 acres
short ratoons.
"Fallowing is our intention tc
fallow say 200 or 300 acres and apply
Stacked lime and pillow under; we have
found it impossible to raise any greer
soiling plant to pillow under, not ever
when fertilized.

The following, from the Examiner
is believed to refer to the airship stock
which was offered for sale here, as
reported some time ago in The Star:
John A. Morrell, president of the
National Airship Company and inven-
tor of the airship Ariel" who was
recently under investigation by the

before o'clock Morrell was released
on 500 cash bail on order of Police
Judge Cabaniss.
The complaint against Morrell
charges that he is guilty of felony
by Section 564 of the Penal Code of
California in that he did wilfully and
unlawfully and knowingly concur in
making and publishing and posting
generally and privately, both to stock

ports, exhibits and statements of the
affairs and pecuniary conditions of the
