CANADIAN FAVORS
ANNEXATION BYU.S.
Nationalist Leader Declares
Provinces Destiny to Be
American
Influence OF Trade and Mental
Propensities of People
Are Cited

ANTIGONISH. N. S. Aug. 19.-An-
nexation of Canada to the United States
was advocated today in an address by
Henry Bourassa, NJ. P. the nationalist
leader of Quebec. before the summer
school of science OF ST. Francis Xavier
college.
The speaker dwelt at length on the
four possible destinies of Canada.
namely: Remaining in the same posi-
ton in which she is at present, which
he regarded as very improbable; impe-
rial federation, which would be an un-
wieldy and unworkabls, condition; an
nexation to the United States. and in
dependence
Imperial federation means an impe-
rial council with a prepOnderant Brit
ish influence" said Mr.. Bourassa.
Conditions today in Canada make for
annexation rather than for imperial
federation. The penetrative influence
of trade by rail and coastal lines, the
mental propensity of the two peoples
living under the same or similar con-
ditions, Industrial and social. the con-
slant intercommunication OF Canadians
and Americans, are all powerful factors
making for annexation"

CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES
DENOUNCE GILLETT BILL
Plan to Raise Pension Fund
From Salaries Opposed

In one protesting voice the MEM
bers of the executive committee of the
United States civil service retirement
association denounced last night the
GiIett annuity bill now before con-
gress, and indorsed the Goulden PEN
sion bill for superannuated civil serv-
ice employees. The Gillett bill provides
that the pensions shall be garnered en-
tirely from the salaries of officials in
active service, and recommends the
putting by of from SIS to SIS every
month from the scant salaries of
Uncle Sans men. The Goulden bill
provides that the government shall
supply the pensions.
According to the resolution of the
committee last night. "the average an
nual salary in the entire classified civil
service is now only $685.. and an as
sessment of or 10 per cent would
necessitate an economy SO pinching as
to undermine health, throw aged and
invalid dependents on public charity,
deny to children fair chance in life.
and prevent any provision for widows
and orphans"
The committee pointed out that the
Gillett bill further provided that en-
p1oyes dying before they had completed
the 80 years service necessary for a
pension forfeited for their families all
that had been paid in.

BURBANK EVOLVES
TWO new PEACHES
Plant Wizard Produces Valuable
Crosses of the Crawford
and Muir
Prof. E. j. Wickson Enthusiastic
Over the Fruit and Its COM
mercial Worth
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

BERKELEY. Aug. 19.-Luther Bur-
bank has added two horticultural mas
terpieces to his innumerable creations,
according to Prof. E. ]. wickson, dean
of the university college of agriculture
and close friend and champion of the
Santa Rosa man: He predicts that the
new Burbank peaches, which combine
the best qualities of the famous Craw-
fords and Muirs, will be of the greatest
economic value.
Specimens of the peaches have been
sent to Professor Wickson for exami-
nation and he praises them highly. One
variety carries into the Crawford the
harder and sounder pit of the Muir.
while retaining the high color, juiciness
and deliciousness of the former. The
other specimen retains the color free pit
ofsthe Muir with an Improvement on its
flesh and flavor.
Professor Wickson has written to
Burbank praising him for his new fruits
and gives a technical account of the
two new peaches:
NY Dear Mr.. Burbank-Your work
with the Crawford-Muir cross seems
to have produced most notable re-
suits. / saw at the Rural Press Of
flee two instances of this cross
one which seemed to carry all that
\
Muir, and the other which reverses
the process and carries the best of
the Muir oyer to the Crawford.
What. seems TO me best in the
Crawford is juiciness, deliciousnesS
and high color beauty, and, carry
ing these TO smaller and appar-
emily harder and Sounder pit,
amounts to ruling out the chief de-
fects of the Crawford so far as the
fruit itself is concerned. This is.
of course, the peach with the richer
colors on the skin and some red at
the pit.
The other peach (of which the
specimens in this city were little
kindly sent me later at Berkeley
has, it seems to me. an improve
ment of the Muir flesh and flavor
and a little more juicfness and re-
tains the color free pit of the Muir,
with little increase in the size of
the pit. 1t has the best of the
Muir type improved by the Craw
ford quality, and exteriorly it is de-
lightful to see the color of the Muir
b1ushing at the touch of Crawford
and still retaining some of its clear
lemon as an undercolor.
1t seems to me these peaches are
to prove of exceptionally high COM
mercial value. especially as the
vigor and disease resistance of the
trees are satisfactory, according to
your own observations.
The Seeding of Bartlett plum
adds another TO your wonderful list
of unique shapes. rich color and
preponderances of flesh over pit in
the plum family. 1t is very inter
esting to see how the trihora po-
tency is pulling away from the fiat
ness of the Simoni. and how the
elongated fruit approaches the
form of some of the large domestic
offspring. Very sincerely.
| E. j. WICKSON.

UNITED RAILROADS
CLAIM UNFOUNDED
Long Advises Supervisors That
Company Has No Right to
Combine Lines
Switch to Connect Central Aye=
nue. and California Street
Tracks Unauthorized

In an exhaustive opinion given t,
the supervisors yesterday, City Attor
ney Long. held that the United Rail
roads was not entitled to connect it!
lines in Central avenue and Californi;
street at their juncture as proposed b!
General Manager Black in an applica
tion for a street work permit from th'
board of works.
Long reviewed. the grants made I,
Adolph Sutro and w. H. Martin, respec
lively. for lines in California street an,
Central avenue Quoting the terms o
each grant he pointed out that tn
United Railroads was entitled to con
struct such switches or turnouts a.
were necessary for the operation o
either line considered separately, bu
that there wastnothipg in either fran
chise which could be construed to Civ
1t the right to operate the two as
unit or to construct trackage unde
such a theory.
OPINION OF ATTORNEY
In part, the. city attorney said:
The right of the United Rail
roads ito connect tracks, as out
lined in your request for an opin-
ion, must be traceable, therefore,
to either, or both said orders. No.
however. is not expressly granted
In either of said orders. That is
to- say, neither one of said orders

crate street railway commencing

to itS
TRACKS In Central avenue north of
California street laid under said
order No. 1926 with its tracks in
California street west of Central
avenue laid under order No. 27S1.
QUESTION. OF NECESSITY
The right to construct the tracks
proposed to be constructed in this
case must be created by either one
of the orders hereinbefore referred
to, considered separately. 1t does
not necessarily arise merely from
the fact that two separate fran
chises. different in character. hap
Inasmuch, however. as the facts
and claims made by the United
Railroads, are not fully before us.
we can simply present the follow
ing general suggestions:
If the work proposed to be done
by the United Railroads is the
construction Of switch or turn
out necessary or convenient to the
der order No. 1921, upon Central
avenue north from the north line
of California street, or If 1t is
necessary for the operation of a
street railway under order No.
2781, then it may be done after a,
permit therefor is issued by the
board of public works.
If. however, the work is not the
construction Of such a switch, or
even if it be the construction of
such a switch, but such switch
is not necessary or convenient un-
der order No 1921 or necessary
under order No. 27S1, then it can
not be done.

BY ignoring the demands of the union
drivers, helpers and standmen of the
produce dealers of Centre Market and
Commerce streets, at their meeting last

the demands of the union men had been
sent to each Of the members of the as

men was ready to confer with a COM
mittee appointed by their employers.
If their demands are not met the
union men threaten to walk out to-
morrow night, and the members of the
New York union will go on a sympa-
thetic strike to the extent hat they
will refuse to load the wagons of the
Newark merchants.
