 It is George Thornton's brother Lawrence Berry Washington, also of NewOrleans. who would be heir pre- sumptive to the throne of America if his first cousin. Thornton Augustin were king. Thornton Augustin was named for his uncle. Colonel Thornton Augustin Washington. father of two New Orleans Washingtons. and they have been in touch with one another for years.
 Lawrence Berry Washington, now 37 years old. is also a native of San Antonio. He has resided at various times in Oklahoma City. Memphis. Birmingham. Galveston, Washington and has been here since 1905 as Travelling Passenger Agent of the Frisco Rail. road. He is not married

 There is no doubt about the authen- ticity of the claims of these gentle men. If there were. here is a docu- ment to prove their rights. When the Washington Monument was unveils ed in the National Capital the Chair man of the Committee. John sherman. addressed an invitation to Mir. Lawrence Berry. of San Antonio. Tex, asking him to be present as one of the nearest relatives of the Father of his Country. That was a recognition by the Govern ment of the United States of the justice of the claim which has been set forth in the article in favor of Mir. Wash ington and his kin.
 But Washington refused the crown when it was offered to him by his of ficers at the close of the Revolutionary War. when the Army which had won the freedom of the United States was on the point of disbanding. He could have had it then. But he declined. And so while 1t is deeply interesting to speculate as to what would have been the case had he not arrived at this diginterested determination 1t Is but "a speculation after all.

Big Apricot Crop.

 With trees bending under the bur- den of the heaviest crop in years perhaps the greatest in the history of the State-the harvest of apricots in California is at its height It is esti- mated that the green crop will total 120.000 tons. and that the return to growers will be $i,250.000. The pie and sauce possibilities are appalling. Be- cause of rapidity of ripening possibly 10 per cent. of the crop will not be gatehered. The fruit is exceptionally luscious.
