lice Court he picked Jackson out of a
dozen or more iailbrds lined UP in a

man who had done the robbing.

that he had chased Jackson up Vonable
street at almost the Same time or
the night of April l6. and that in thc

KING GEORGE TO RESIDE
IN CASTLE AT WINDSOR
improvements Made by the Late
Monarch Make Ideal Home

LONDON, July 30-There is every
reason to believe that, in the near fu-
ture, Windsor castle will be restored
to its former position as the chief resi-
dence of the sovereign King Edward,
though he effected many changes ana
improvements in the castle and was
not a very frequent visitor, preferring
to divide his time mainly between
buckingham palace and Sandringham.
But King George, with greater do
mestic interests than the late king
had when he came to the throne, Will
probably be influenced by the superior
healthiness of Windsor and its adVan-
tages in the way of privacy and free
dom; while the distance from town
counts for little in these days of motor
cars and telephones. Moreover there
is no longer the alternative of san
ringham, which, under the late kings
will, passed to Queen Alexandra.
The castle is now an ideal residence.
During the last reign the drainage ar
rangements were entirely overhauled
and the water supply attended TO.
The fire alarm system, which was also
brought up to date, embodies every
feature which makes for reliability
and usefulness. The electric light
system was extended throughout the
castle, and telephone communication
was introduced on large scale. Tape
machines were put in, and model
post office fitted up inside.
King Edward also carried out great
improvements in the farms, gardens,
and grounds. The East Terrace gar
den, which is overlooked by the royal
apartments, has been rearranged, ana
the extensive grounds surrounding the
castle have been much improved. There
is a fine golf course below the East
Terrace and royal boathouse on the
banks of the river At Virginia Water
the fishing temple and royal boathouse
have been renovated

EXTENSION OF TRADE
ALONG MEXICAN COAST
Guaymas Steamship Company
Plans to Make Regular
Stops at San Pedro

C. C. Ross of Guaymas, agent of
the Compania Naviera del Pacitico,
generally known as the Mexican sub
sidized steamship line, was at San
Pedro last week in company with G..
w. Beermaker, San iDego agent of
the line, says the Pilot.
While the officials of the company
would neither confirm nor deny the
report it is said that arrangements
cific Steamship company for berth at
the wharf and that a twenty-day SER
vice between San Pedro and Salina
Cruz will be established with two
steamers alternating on the run.
That this arrangement, has been un-
der consideration for some time has
been known for months. The COM
pany has a fleet of twenty vessels OPP
Grating as far north as Panama be-
ports. One of these, the Benito Juarez,
tween Mexican and Central American
now running between San Pedro and
Mazatlan, calls at five way ports.
Il am not surprised to hear that the
Mexican line is to make this port
of call" said John T. Gaffey. when
/ was in Guaymas last winter officials
of the company told me they ex-
pected to take this step soon.
"The enormous volume of trade that
can be developed WlIn MEXICO from LOS
Angeles is almost beyond belief. When
I was in Guaymas it was a common
sight to see from q thousand to fifteen
hundred pack mules leave for the in
terror laden with merchandise and min
ing supplies that had been brought
by steamer and as many return with
rich ore, maguey fiber and other pro-
ducts.
For years the Mexicans have trad
ed with San Francisco and have hard
ly knowp any other port. Since the
railroad was built into Mexico the
merchants and planters here have
come in touch with Los Angeles. They
are beginning to send their children
here to school. I know that many of
them are surprised to learn that Los
Angeles is such a great city"
