An automobile scheme which should
thoroughly interest motor car owners
in California and. in fact, along the
Pacific coast. has been evolved by the
Scottish automobile club of Glasgow.
The club has planned to form what
would be considered a motor reserve
for the prompt mobilization of the
military forces in case of necessity.
The purpose of the club is to obtain
from Scottish motorists and motor
cyclists, whether members of the club
ness. should the war authority require.
TO convey troops rapidly in the event
of an invasion or threatened invasion.
to send their car to a rendezvous, with
the utmost dispatch. for the purpose of
conveying troops toward the threat
ened point of attack.
The intention is that each motorist
who is willing to cooperate shall be
supplied with a card, in duplicate, Civ
ing fun particulars of the duty under
taken, and of the regulations which
must be attended to in the assembling
and running of the vehicles. This card
he will undertake to keep in the door
pocket of his car or other convenient
place on the car for Immediate refer
ence.
The executive of the scheme will
map out Scotland into districts accord
ing TO the disposition of military units
and the cars viii be told of TO such
rendezvous in the district. and in such
proportion as may be necessary to col

Chance, young mining engineer of

asked the other man for q match, and
as he took the preferred Light he
recognized his companion as Gus M.

he had prospeoted for gold IA years
ago In Alaska

Cornelius and | were partners years
ago In Alaska" he said, and he Is the
souarest fellow alive We staked out
number of claims together, one, of
which is located about 80 miles above
Dawson, and it is upon this that Cor
nelius made the strike which means a
fortune for both of us. He knew that
my former home was in San Rafael,
but when he came here two months
ago he could find no trace or me, as
I had gone to Reno. He says that the
mine is rich is free milling ore. and
that he has already taken out many
thousands of dollars worth of gold. He
has been searching for me, off and on.
for more than three years, and 1t was

In the Senate Debate Today
He Advocated Selling and
Strangling to Death the
Great Combine.
CHEAPER SUGAR Is
ADVOCATED BY HIM
He Says That the Trust is the
Most Grasping and Unde-
sirabIe Of the Many Now in
The Country.

Washington. May 19.-"Let US grasp
the sugar trust by. the throat and
strangle it to DEATH" was the plea of
Senator Clay in an impassioned attack
on the great monopoly during the
tariff debate today in the senate. The
senator said: ,.
The consumption Of sugar in the
United States for the year 1908 was
3.185.789 tons, about 81 pounds per
capita Nearly two-thirds of this sug-
ar comes from foreign countries into
the United States. The total amount
of beet sugar produced in the United
States last year was only 1902 tons
and the total amount OF cane sugar
produced was only $50, 600 tons. The
American Sugar Refining company,
commonly called the Sugar Trust,
owns the principal sugar refining re-
fineries in the United States, and is
almost without competition in refining
sugar. One must clearly understand
that the tariff on refined sugar is
nearly two cents per pound. and Is SO
high as to almost entirely prohibit the
fmportations Of foreign sugar into this
country.
U. s. Gets Small End.
The government only gets fifty-three
millions in customs duties, leaving
eighty-three millions and eighty thous-
and, most Of which goes to the sugar
trust. The American people have paid
taxes on an average OF fifty millions
per year during the last twelve years
600. The American consumers Of
sugar have paid the American Sugar
Refining Company. commonly called
the sugar trust at least fifty-five mil
lions per year in profits, amounting
in twelve years to 0O.OOO.O 600.
Let us give to the American people,
cheap sugar. Let us grasp the sugar
trust by the throat and strangle it to
death and keep in view the interest,
the happiness, and welfare Of the
plain people Of America
Can Give Figures.
II have figures and facts before me
which clearly show that the American
Sugar Refining company, commonly
called the Sugar Trust has repeated
ly sold considerable quantities Of sugar
for export at nearly two cents per
pound less than the price quoted In
the domestic market.
The most grasping and undesirable
trust to be found anywhere is the
American Sugar Refining company,
commonly called the Sugar Trust. ;
The steel trust and the Standard OIL,
in point Of dishonesty and unscTupu-
lous conduct, sro sucking babes In
comparison to the sugar trust"
