Los Angeles citrus growers an
nounced their determination of sup
porting the Citrus Growers association
to the last ditch, in it's fight against
raising of the lemon rates last nlght'
The granting of the restraining order
by the United States circuit court was
regarded as a signal victory for the
growers in the first round of the fight
and members of the association are
pledged to use every possible resource
in checkmating the railroads.
II do not see why the cost or snip
ming should be greater now than II was
before the tariff was increased, salu
+. Q. Story. chairman of the associa-
tion, last night. THE league has the
best of legal aid, and am convinced
will make it's case"
]. A. Reid, secretary of the Tropieo
fruit exchange, a branch of the Pro-
tective association, was equally em-
phatic in his denunciation of the rail-
road methods and in his expression OF
his determination to aid the league In
carrying the fight through to the end.
Hope to Win Case
The restraining order granted in San
Francisco was made returnable Novem-
Der % The increased rate was to have
become effective December 6, and be-
fore that time the growers hope to be
able to show the weakness of the rail-
roads position. A complaint already
has been filed with the interstate COM
merce commission, but as apparently
there was little possibility of securing
Immediate action, an appeal was made
to the federal courts. The case could
not be heard in Los Angeles, as Judge
Wellborn was unable to give II i'm
mediate attention on account of other
important cases.
The growers have spared no pains
in preparing their case, engaging the
best legal counsel obtainable, retain
ing Myer & Myer OF Chicago, Joseph
Call of Los Angeles and A. +. Call of
Corona to represent the association.
The papers in the case were sent To
the Chicago attorneys, who in turn
sent them to Washington for filing.
The railroads proposed to put the In
creased rate into effect December g.
The rate was first made to apply 10
what is known as the northwest ter
ritory, including the Dakotas and a
part of Canada. but later was extended
to cover all eastern points. The in
crease is from 81 a hundred pounds TO
Sis. This increase makes a difference
in the shipping cost of approximately
$40 a car, and will mean that the net
income of the Southern California
growers will be lessened by fully a
quarter of a million of dollars. The Sc
curing of the injunction is thought to
place the citrus growers in fair way
to win their case.

From DR.. Tanner

LONG BEACH, Nov. ia story
which appeared this morning of a hen
that tasted twenty-seven days is beat
en- by a story for which DR.. H. S. Tan
ner of this city vouches. DR.. Tanner,
who has a large class of fasters in
Long Beach. and who has eaten no
meat for thirty-five years, declaring it
rank poison" relates the story of a
hen which was imprisoned amid the
debris of Sam McPherson's barn when
it was blown down by a cyclone which
swept through Tompkinsville, KY, in
1891.
Seventy-two days later, when the de-
bris was cleared away. the hen ran out
and at once busted herself in eating
the first mouthfuls she had tasted in
all that time. The hen had laid an egg
and hatched a chick amid the debris.
The bones of the chick proved this.
DR.. Tanner draws a lesson from the
hen, and asserts that fasting is a cure
for all ills.

HEIR PRFSUMPTIVE
GUEST OF EMPEROR
VISIT BELIEVED EVIDENCE OF
IMPERIAL RELENTlNG
Question of Wife's Rank Causes Em-
barrassment, but Matter Is
Settled by Limiting
Invitations

POTSDAM, Germany, Nov. 11.-Arch-
duke Franz Ferdinand, heir presump-
tive to the Austro- Hungarian throne,
and his wife, the duchess of Hohen-
burg, arrived here today for their
promised visit to the emperor and
empress.
The visit is significant, in that being
made at the earnest request of EN-
peror William, it is further evidence
of imperial relenting toward the arch
dukes course in having married out
side his rank.
However, the visit has caused much
embarrassment at court because of the
difficulty of placing the former Count
ess Sophia Chotek Won Chotkova, who
recently was given the title of duchess
Of Hohenberg by Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. This was overcome finally by
the decision to invite no woman of
princely rank to the dinners and other
Festivities given in honor of the visitors
Accordingly, upon these occasions,
the duchess will rank next to the
empress.
