CALIFORNIA BEATS
HOLLAND FOR BULBS
FLORISTS FORCING AMARYLLIS
FOR FLOWER SHOW
Giant Blooms Will Be Ready in April,
Though Scientific Culture Is
Necessary to Bring About
Results

Expert Los Angeles amyrillis culturists
are startling the worlds florists in their
remarkable work of forcing blooms for
the great Los Angeles flower show next
April.
If present plans go through Southern
California will stand as Hollands rival
for bulbs and the flower lovers of the coun-
try will be able to see some of the most
beautiful specimens of this wondrous
flower on exhibition.
The type to be shown is the hippeas-
trum, which has stalks as high as 31s
feet The blooms are ten inches across
Those to be shown are hybridized and
bred to the last point.
1t takes three years to grow a bloom
from seed, hence the care needed will be
appreciated by friends of flowers, as well
as the qualification due over successful
forcing.
Water is withdrawn gradually after
Towering in June or July when bulbs are
desired They are then left to dry till
November. The bulbs are then stored
In the same pots.
In January some of the earth is shaken
off the bulbs and they are repotted in
the same pots with q mixture of one
third sand, one-third leaf mold and some
dried blood added.
They are then planted upside down un-
til the roots get four or five inches long.
Then they are turned right side up, with
bottom heat applied by placing on warm
benches or otherwise.
In California the best types can be
grown successfully and more quickly
than in Holland.
Experiments now being made for the
coming show prove this.

SEES IN PROHIBITION
INJURY TO RAILROADS
General Manager of Union Pacific
Attacks All Recent Reform Legis-
lation-Money Is Scarce,
He Says
BY Associated Press.


LARAMIE, Wyo., Jan. 1.-THE
Union Pacific has purchased for the
year 17S track miles of ninety-pound
rails for additional second track" said
A. L. Mohler, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Union Pacific, at
the opening session of the Wyoming
Wool Growers association here, in the
course of an address on the promised
facilities for his road
But Mr. Mohler deprecated the wave
of prohibition as a possible means of
reducing traffic, the recent reform
legislation and the determination in
various quarters to enforce the new
tax systems upon railroads-al these
as elements that nigh: deter the prog
ress of railroad development in the
next year. He admitted that millions
should be employed in the work of ex-
tending railroads, but asked where the
money was to be obtained under such
conditions.
with the prohibition wave gradu-
ally spreading and with the probable
tariff reduction 1t would seem ulti-
mately that the government will desire
to tax Interstate business" said Mr.,
Mohler
"Reformers and agitators and the
people may as we'll face the situation
and meet squarely with full recogni-
ton the present condition of affairs
which prevents needed capital from
investing. There can be no thoroughly
marked revival of new railroad con-
struction on a scale commensurate
with the necessities of this western
country until securities receive greater
protection than at present"

STANDARD OIL co.
MAY ESCAPE FINE
Attorneys for Trust Argue That Pas
sage of Hepburn Act lnValdated
Elkins Law, Under Which
Prosecution Was Made
py Associated Press.

py Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11-Attorneys for the
Standard Oil company today filed peti.
ton in the United States circuit court of
appeals, asking that body to certify to
the supreme court of the United states
an allegation as to the validity of the
Elkns law, under which the oil company
was indicted, convicted and fined S29, 24O,-
coo for rebating. The step is taken in pur-
suance of the appeal filed by the COM
pany against the big fine.
1t is contended by the companys at
torneys that the Elkins law was repealed
by the passage of the Hepburn bill IN
1906. The same contention has been ad-
vanced in an appeal to the supreme court
by the Great Northern railroad, which
appeal IS now pending. The Standard OH
cornpany's petition seeks to have the
question certified in the oil case 50 tiai
it may be decided when the Great North
ern case is settled. The judges have
taken the petition under advisement.
whether the seven other cases pending
against the Standard Oil company of In
diana will be tried depends upon the out
come of the appeal in the first case.
Should the Elkins law be declared In
valid all indictments against the corpora

HOT FIGHT
WAGED OVER
PENAL BILL
MANY AMENDMENTS OFFERED
IN HOUSE
Clark of Missouri the Only Ono Who
Succeeds In Getting Change Made.
Further Discussions to
Follow
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Jan. ia vigorous
fight was waged in the house today over
the bill to codify and revise the penal
laws of the United States with particular
reference to section 10, affecting con-
spiracies against the civil rights of citi-
zens.
Smith of Missouri and Hughes of New
Jersey offered amendments, having for
their object the exemption of labor
unions from the operation of the section
whenever such unions declare strikes or
boycotts.
A motion to strike out the whole Sec
ton was made by Mr.. Bartlett of
Georgia. The brunt of the debate was
borne by Mr.. Sherley of Kentucky, a
member of the committee on revision,
but he was supported by a number of
Republicans.
These amendments were all lost, as
was one by Mr. DeArmond to strike out
section 20 because it conferred on federal
courts in Furnishing felonies and misde-
meanors committed under section 10 the
auth rity given to the courts of the state
in which the acts are committed.
The only amendment to successfully
pass the gauntlet was one by Mr.. Clark
OF Missouri, striking out that portion of
section 10 which provides for offenders
the additional punishment of ineligibility
to hold any office of honor, trust or
profit under the government
In anticipation OF the debate and the
necessity for votes the Republican 'ead-
ers mustered their full strength and
thereby were enabled to vote down all
amendments which they deemed un-
reasonable.
The exceeding earnes stness of the de-
bate led to the charge that there had
been Encouragement, but this was
denied. The Democratic leaders declared
that they had no intention of conducting
a ti1ibuster.
The fact that many of the votes taken
during the somewhat stormy debate were
almost strictly party votes was declared
by Democratic leaders to be incidental
and not significant of any precon"erted
plan 1t is likely that discussion of The
bill on points of law will be indulged in
from time to time for several weeks.
