The Cabbage King.

Imagine yourself driving along miles
of road with great fields on either side
in which nothing can be seen but cab
bage. Picture to yourself big planta'
ton trayersed by miles OF railroad
tracks, with here and there station
platforms, all for the receipt and ship
ment Of cabbage. Contemplate an Of
fee In the midst Of 8 farm where type
writers rattle from morning till night
and telegraph instruments click away
to the extent of 500 day received In
tolls all about cabbage. Think OF hum
dreds Of freight cars going out, made
up into trains of twenty-five to thirty
cars each, all loaded with cabbage. TX
you can fix all these things In your
mind so that you have a mental pic
ture Of these scenes, then you can feel
that you have the correct idea Of Meg

NEW YORK, April IA dispatch
to the World from Washington says.
Plans are being elaborated in detail
for the mobilization of a joint mill
tary and naval force in Venezuelan
waters as soon as possible after Presi-
dent Roosevelt obtains congressional
sanction to resort to force against
Castro. 1t may not be deemed neces-
sary by the administration to make
this martial demonstration, but the
war and navy departments are both
mapping out a tentative military
movement.
1t was learned today that the whole
military situation is now under con-
sideration by the generaH staff of the
army and the general board of the
navy by direct order of the president
upon Secretary Roots Recommendation
for preparedness to back up eventuali-
ties with show of arms. The presi-
dent cannot constitutionally declare
war against Venezuela.
Legislative authority would be re-
quired for such campaign. and the
present preparation of plans is under
stood TO be merely in accord with the
policy of mapping out campaigns for
possible emergencies.

Naturalization Fees Clerk Kept
Lead to Deadlock Over Legal
Phase of the Question

Mayor Taylor and County Clerk Null
crevy clashed over the question as to
where, belong the fees collected from
aliens in naturalization cases yesterday
and City Attorney Long has been called
IN to settle the controversy.
Mayor Taylor learned few days ago
that Mulcrevy was Withholding the fees
collected in the naturalization cases and
Immediately investigated. The investi-
cation resulted in Mulcrevy being sum
moned to the mayors office yesterday
and asked pointblank what he was do
ing with the fees.
Mulcrevy responded that he was
keeping them. What right had he as
a saIaried official of the city and county
of San Francisco to withhold fees when
the charter specifically pointed out
that he must not do so? asked the
mayor.
QUOTES ie0s LAW
MuIcrevy responded by quoting the
law passed by the last congress. which
declared that an alien on becoming a
naturalized citizen should be taxed SIS.

ment of commerce and labor and the
other half; TO the official making out
the necessary papers.
The.e arose thefdeadlock.
The mayor called for City Attorney
Long and Mulcrevy telephoned. for his
attorneys. Each side hurled authori-
ties Each side argued and the upshot
was that Mulcrevy finally left the
mayors Office absolutely refusing to ac-
cede TO his demands.
THOUSANDS ARE INVOLVED
The question is an important one in
asmuch as the fees amount to thou
sands of dollars annually. about ESQ
aliens being naturalized every month
But to whom does the money belong?
city Attorney Long has taken the
question under consideration and will
hand in his opinion to the mayor to-
ward the latter part of this week. If
Mulcrevy loses he will have to dis
gorge several thousand dollars COL

Asserts In Speech That "Taft ls

New York, Jan, 1S.-William D. Hay. woods first appearance before a New York audience since his acquittal for compllcity in the assassination of Gov ernor Steunenberg of Idaho almost caused a riot. After 6,000 men, women and children had squeezed themselves into the Grand Central palace, which comfortably holds only 5000, about 10000 more demanded admission and upon refusal created scenes of great excitement.
 Haywood talked about his trial and acquittal in great detail and said that Secretary of War Taft was President Roosevelt's messenger boy, having sent him to Idaho to elect Gooding govern or, but almost defeating him: that he, Haywood, didn't look upon himself as martyr. for while he was in jail awaiting trial he had the best time of his life. It gave him time to think of the wrongs of the working people, to whom he owed his life, having turned public opinion in his favor.
 He denounced the police and the mi- litia and praised Edward Fl. Hartman as the greatest benefactor of the age. Hartman, he said, had SO perfected the railroad system throughout the country that when the government would saize it there need not be any additional work or Improvements made.
