TO the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 have read with interest the articles
on English Walnuts in Alabama" in
The Age-Herald, and as 1t seems to be
an open question, suppose l have right
to butt in also.
The walnut commonly known as the
English Guglaus regia), has numerous va
rieties, some of which are very thin shell,
medium and thick; some are very pro life
bearers and some shy and non-bearers. AS
a rule the thin shell varieties are the
best bearers, and most all are non-bear-
ers or shy bearers in the south, but
now and then a chance Seeding proves
very prolific, and the only way that this
variety can be perpetuated would be by
grating or budding, unless it was bred
by selection for long time. Trees grown
from promiscuous nuts may or may not
make trees that produce nuts. As rule
they would not here.
This is also known as the Madeira
nut and French walnut and Persian wal
nut. History says that Persia is its home
from whence it spread into the mountains
of Greece, Armenia, Afghanistan, the
Himalayas, France, the countries Dor
dering the Mediterranean; England and
Scotland Two of the best varieties of
this nut originated in France, the
.'Franquette" and Magnetic which
bear the names of the men who intro
duced them. These nuts are grown ex-
tensively in California on land worth

five were rescued from drowning late

a civil engineer of this city. The party
was composed of Mrs. J. L. Stanley and

Harris of Jackson, Miss, and the man
employed to sail the boat. None of the
party could swim. The boat capsized
off Long Beach and had been drifting
seaward for an hour with the occu-

craft. Mr.. Galloway, who resides on
the water front, heard cries for help.
Assisted by his father he rowed as fast

GOMPERS CASE Is
DRAGGING ALONG

Washington, September 22.-"This IS
struggle calculated to make history with
1000. 900 workingmen on one side and the
manufacturers on the other, the never
ending fight between capital and labor,
declared former Judge Alton B. Parker
of New York, once democratic presidential
candidate, just before the District of Co
lumbia supreme court today ordered Pres
ident Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to answer certain questions
asked him in the contempt proceedings
against the federation officials. The
court. presided over by Chief Justice Cla-
baugh held to be relevant the questions
asked of Mr.. Gompers by Attorney Daniel
Davenport of Bridgeport, Conn, counsel
for the Buck Stove and Range company
of St. Louis, out of whose original COM
plant of boycott the present contempt
proceedings grew. Testimony is being
taken before Commissioner Harper. Mr..
Gompers refused to answer question on
the ground that the September issue of
the Federationist, the organ of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, appeared subse-
quent to the filing of the petition in the
contempt proceedings, and therefore could
not be held to have any bearing on the
proceedings. The case will be resumed
before Examiner Harper tomorrow.
Judge Parker argued for the labor Of
ficials and Mr.. Davenport for the prose-
cution. Both sides dealt largely with the
constitutional questions involved The
chief justice based his decision on the
question of practice. He said that the
questions should be answered, but If any
interrogatories Objectionable to the de-
Tense were propounded. counsel could
m AXE objection. This objection could be
brought to the attention of the trial court
and the entire matter be based upon the
final consideration of the case. He said
that while the argument had been able
and learned, it had not dealt with the
point at issue. The taking of testimony
will be resumed tomorrow.
