BATHING BEACH RACES
PROMISE GOOD SPORT
If "Tubby" Ryan Wins the Tub Race Again This
Afternoon He'll Have to Put Forth
His Best Efforts

II Jimmy. otherwise known as Tub
by Ryan, wins the tub race at tn .
bathing beach this afternoon, he will
have to go some. A lot OF Jimmy
pals are laying for him and are deter
mined to wrest from him the hOnors
won on previous occasions. The odds
are on Jimmy, however.
Jimmy is in class by himself, when
the tub is used as an adjunct to loco
motion. In previous races he has ex-
hibited all the grace and experience of
a Courtney and has finished so far in
advance Of other contestants as TO
create the impression that they were
tied. In recognition or his ability, Su-
perintendent w. 3. Hudson. Of the
bathing beach, has bestowed upon him
the sobriquet of "Tubby." by which
name he Is now known among his
friends and admirers.
There are. however, among Jimmy'g
acquaintance, a number who harbor
the opinion that "Tubby'' is not irwin
chile. Since last Saturday. upon which

Count Wires Kaiser Wilhelm That 1t Will Be Impos-

Was Expected.

The crown prince took this step for
fear that the count, in his great desire
to fulfill his promise TO arrive in Ber-
lin today, would undertake too great a
risk. in view Of his impaired health.
Almost to the very last Zeppelin

able to sail the big dirIgible into Ber-

he telegraphed the Kaiser that as soon
as he boarded the balloon here, which
he then expected to do about sunset, he
would drive II with all possible speed in

Prisons"
Mr., Clay reviewed the establish
ment of the so-called sugar trust
which was formed, he said. in 1887 by
the consolidation OF twenty of the
leading refinerlos. While the actual
value Of the property of the trust was
not greater than S10,00O.OOO, according
to Mr.. Clay. the sugar trust stocked
the company at S5O.0O0,0OO. He said
that the concessions In the duty on
raw sugar from the Hawaiian ISL
ands. Porto Rico, Cuba. and the Phil
ippines Islands during the last ten
years amounted TO $212,220773, of
which, he said, the Treasury OF the
United States or the American peopia
had received no benefit. THE most
grasping and uncomfortable trust to
be found anywhere IS the American
Sugar Refining Company" added Mr..
Clay, commonly called the Sugar
Trust The steel trust and the Stand
ard Oil, in point of dishonesty and
INSCRIPTIONS conduct, are sucking
babes in comparison with the Sugar
Trust'v
Mr.. Clay reviewed the various cases
and claims Of the government pend
ing against the sugar trust, "Ofl-
cials representing the government,
who have made an investigation into
these fraudulent transactions" he con-
tinued, believe that the American
Sugar Refining Company has robbed
the Treasury of more than $4,000, 900
justly due the treasury. 1t deserves
no mercy at the hands of Congress
and most assuredly no favors at the
hands of Congress. The criminal and
civil laws ought to be vigorously en-
forced against II, and the best way
to destroy 1t is to give 1t healthy
foreign competition"
IF the sugar trust can find de
fender on the floor of the Senate
then We have reached condition OF
affairs most deplorable. If we are
to continue TO leglslate millions OF
profits into the pockets of this class
Of men at the expense OF the Ameri.
can people, then let us adopt the
sugar schedule provided by the H.
nance committee OF the Senate" II

II we handle the crop one or
the other of the above rules must
be complied with or it would be
impossible for US to handle IT
with any satisfaction either 10 the
Grower or ourselves and unless
there is going to be some chance
of satisfying our customers we
would rather not handle the crop.
Our German mesa packing
house although small. has proven
a great help to us in handling the
fruit, not only from that section
but relieving the congestion at
our home packing house at time
when Just little more fruit would
have caused us to fall behind with
our packing and of course caused
considerable loss to the Growers.
As 1t was we handled every
thing in good shape and | believe
that a system of neighborhood
packing houses is the only solu-
ton of the packing problem.
While our business for the year
shows a profit of little over two
thousand dollars and we now have
surplus of undivided profits
amounting to Sl.903.36 we do
not deem it advisable to declare
